Horsemanship upgraded to the fourth order has reached its limit, to continue to improve, you need to learn the language of the magical beasts and master the pre-skills. Only then can you break the limit, skillfully communicate with magical beasts, ride flying magical beasts such as lion wasps, flying tigers, and bipedal flying dragons, and advance into a powerful flying soldier.
Seeing that the boars couldn’t break through the defense line, Walder immediately dispatched the only remaining direct forces, four third-order snake-bodied men and two third-order eagle-bodied men into the battlefield.
These six Third Order Professionals joined the battle and made an immediate impact in a short period of time.
The snake-bodied men assaulted on the ground, the eagle-bodied men circled in the air and launched energy missiles, in just a few minutes, relying on the snake-bodied men’s deadly battle, the orc army had already torn through the camp gate.
Seeing that the battle had fallen into a scorching heat, Richard was also secretly worried from the cliff. He continuously pulled back the bowstring and shot arrows at the vitals of the third-order snake-bodied men, and soon heavily wounded a snake-bodied man.
Sensing that Richard was too much of a threat, the Eagle-bodied Man swung his feathered wings and prepared to land from a high altitude to kill Richard and eliminate the threat.
Before the Hawkman could land, Owen commanded the Divine Archer to shoot three Fourth Order Burst Arrows.
Owen’s fighter grabbed them very accurately and managed to shoot one of the Hawkmen. The remaining Hawkman was afraid of becoming a living target and immediately flew out of the burst arrows’ range, hovering helplessly in the air.
In a normal orc army establishment, a brigade had forty third-order snake-bodied men and twelve eagle-bodied inspection officers.
Together with the orc officers of each squadron, compared to the number of professionals alone, the orc army was far more numerous than the human legions.
But when it came to the sophistication of the equipment, the human soldiers far exceeded the orcs.
Grant Kingdom’s main army, enchanted bows and arrows, burst arrows have been equipped to the squadron level.
Usually in war, human tactics were also superior to the orcs, and the battle opportunities were more accurately grasped.
The very key factor is that humans have a unified continental script, and the differences in languages are smaller and easier to learn.
Orcs because of the different races, each other’s language is very difficult to learn, every orc middle and high ranking officers, need to learn seven or eight mainstream orc languages.
Because of this factor, the communication of the orcs on the battlefield is not very convenient.
Grant Kingdom’s previous war experience, the same number of troops, the main army can often defeat the orcs.
In more than two months of war, the Wald Brigade had suffered heavy losses, especially during the attack on Vic’s Castle, the Serpentine Professionals had died or been injured by a large margin.
Now the remaining six third-ranked professionals were the last strength of the Wald Brigade. Although they relied on this force to break through the Sixth Squadron’s barracks, two Third Order Professionals were killed or injured, and the Sixth Squadron was still in the midst of stubborn resistance.
Even though the outer walls, trenches, and other fortifications were lost, Diarra commanded the soldiers of the 6th Squadron and set up a simple defense line inside the camp gate.
This defense line wasn’t really solid, just a few rows of wooden reject fences, but it was still a big trouble for the charging orcs.
It would take time to break through this fence, while the provisional squadron on the cliffs, kept firing arrows downwards.
For every minute of delay, several rounds of feathered arrows were shot down from the mountain, killing and wounding dozens more orc soldiers.
Clearing the fence required braving the rain of arrows, and for every step the orcs took forward, someone would fall.
Richard kept opening his bow and shooting arrows, shooting at least seven or eight arrows per minute, the enchanted bow and arrows he used were hard bows with a strong pull, and each draw required a strong force. The arrows he shot had the attribute of fighting qi attached to them, and he was bound to kill an orc once he opened his bow.
Even if it was a third-ranked professional, once he was shot by Richard with the enchanted bow, he would definitely be heavily injured.
The snake-bodied man who was injured just now died easily at the hands of Richard. “Killing a third-order snake body man rewards 2000 experience points.”
This battle wasn’t over yet, using the Enchanted Bow and Arrow and relying on his fourth-order archery skills, Richard had already seized 6,000 points of experience, ten small credits.
Richard observed the battlefield and initially judged that the casualties of the orcs had exceeded 40%.
If it was a normal army, a casualty of 40% would have already collapsed.
The culture of the orcs is special, and their ability to withstand casualties exceeds that of humans. Plus the main casualties in the boar squadron, the orcs can still barely fight.
However, as the arrows continued to fall, the orc soldiers continued to fall, blood splattered everywhere, piercing the nerves of the orcs.
Fear spread amongst the orcs, only the bloodthirsty nature, the cruel military law, still made them fight instinctively.
Wald’s captain realized that defeat was near, and shouted furiously, leading the last dozen of orc soldiers to launch a decisive charge.
Richard once again took out a sharp arrow and shot it at the orc brigadier Wald.
Wald swung his lance and accurately blocked the arrow that was bound to kill him.
The orc brigadier was a fifth-ranked lionhead, not only had he mastered bloodline spells, his level of marksmanship was also quite extraordinary.
Seeing that he couldn’t help Valde, Richard could only target other orcs.
Walder ferociously charged into the camp, and the camp commander Diarra released his final victory hand, ordering Ron to storm the orcs with his cavalry.
The rest of the orcs rushed through this path of death and entered the camp in droves, mingling with the soldiers of the 6th Squadron.
For a while the camp was thrown into a chaotic battle, fear of hurting their own people, even Richard could not aim well.
Worrying about his comrades in the camp, Richard immediately commanded the soldiers to drop the ropes and use them to slide down, then rushed into the camp with the soldiers of the provisional squadron.
Holding an enchanted handguard shield in one hand and a heavy sword in the other, Richard led the charge to kill the orcs.
His Grant Kingdom Sword Art had been practiced to the limit, the killing sword technique was not only fast but also ruthless, ordinary orcs would find it hard to block the power of one of his swords unless they were in formation.
Seeing Valde ferociously cut down Diarra, Richard fiercely swung his heavy sword and intercepted and chopped at Valde.
Valde had planned to finish Diarra first, hearing the cracking sound of the chopping from behind, although his back was facing Richard, Valde roared, backhanded his spear and fiercely sparred with Richard!
The two heavy weapons came together with the help of Dou Qi, and there was a thunderous crash.
Richard’s hands trembled slightly, and severe pain came from the tiger’s mouth area.
“It seems like a great power, I’m afraid that this orc’s power has reached eighteen points.”
Dilaya had planned to close her eyes and wait for death, seeing the powerful lion-headed man turn back to deal with Richard, she struggled to stand up and maneuvered her weapon to attack Walder from front to back with Richard.
The two joined forces, but were still beaten back by Valder.
Seeing that casualties were about to occur, Military Judge Owen came up with divine archer reinforcements.
Divine Archer Dida was a veteran who had joined the army for more than ten years and was exceptionally experienced, he decisively used Explosive Arrow and pulled the bowstring almost close to Valder’s face.
A loud bang came, and a violent explosion was sent out from the lion-headed man.
Richard and Diarra were both near the lion-headed man, and were thrown out viciously by the air wave formed by the explosion.
Richard struggled to get up, and seeing that the lion-headed man was surprisingly still alive, he threw the heavy sword in his hand with vigor, accurately nailing it on the lion-headed man’s head.
“Killing a fifth-order lion-headed man, rewarded with 8,000 experience points.”
Hearing the beeps coming from the system, Richard couldn’t be happy enough and casually picked up a weapon to kill the other orcs.
The battle wasn’t over yet, Richard couldn’t be distracted from adding killing experience.
