As a cavalry unit, our superior mobility is naturally our greatest advantage.
According to my thoughts, we should let our horses gallop, travel during the day and sleep at night. We should rush to the battlefield in the shortest time possible and surprise the enemy to obtain the greatest results.
Unfortunately, I wasn't the commander of this operation. The orders given to us by the higher-ups were to maintain a distance from the infantry in case of any sudden changes.
Our new Regiment Commander, who has always been known for his discipline, naturally followed his orders. To him, even if there was anything wrong with this order, it was not his fault.
Therefore, we only needed to march for about ten days, but we had to march with the infantrymen for more than a month, and those weak mages were still complaining.
As for me, a strong future Saint Magus, I was also complaining in my own living quarters. Of course, the reason was completely different from the ones before me.
As time dragged on for too long, the fighting spirit of the soldiers that I had worked so hard to stimulate was gradually worn away.
Many of my subordinates came to ask me, the captain,"
"There are muddy roads everywhere, and there are not many people. Where is the crowd that welcomed us?
If that's the case, who will come to admire our mighty military posture?”
I could only curse the commander of the special forces, General Pierce, in secret.
"What general? Don't you know what speed is? If this continues, are we going to reinforce them or recover our lost territory? If I had done as I said, those orcs would have returned to their hometown long ago. I would have so many medals on my chest!”
Of course, I can only think about these things in my heart. I don't dare to say it out loud. In the army, I have no military achievements, no military achievements, and no status.
Even the soldiers under me looked down on me at the beginning (after I showed off my skills, this situation changed. They didn't want to become a small mountain that I cut off a top of. They were not harder than rocks.）
Not to mention those generals who thought they were invincible.
After 30 days of arduous marching through mountains, forests, and rivers, we finally arrived at the most important city in the east, the transportation, administrative, and economic center of the eastern part of the Empire, Meria.
It was also on the first day that my knights received the flowers and cheers that they had been waiting for. All the residents of Melia lined the streets to welcome our travel-worn troops.
To them, having one more soldier meant that their lives and property would be more secure.
It was said that all the properties in the cities that were captured by the orcs were swept away. This was something that they absolutely did not want to see.
I didn't see any panic caused by the arrival of the war here. The war that appeared after a long period of peace didn't bring too much psychological blow to the people here.
On the other hand, the people far away in the Imperial Capital were much more panicked. Perhaps when you really faced a war, everything would be forgotten, including fear.
In their belief, the Tai Long Empire, which dominated the Eastern Continent, could not be defeated. The commander of the Eastern Army Corps, Dongfang Yun, was a famous general of the empire who had experienced hundreds of battles. With him around, there was no need to worry too much.
Here, I understood why our General Pierce was not in a hurry to send the 13th division of the Royal Dragon Knights into the war. There was a castle made of rocks in the east of Meliya----" Ao Long Castle ".
This castle firmly guarded the path that the orcs had to pass. As it was the only way to the Moonlight Plains, the Beastmen could only advance after conquering it.
The seniors from a hundred years ago had already predicted the importance of this place and built a strong defense here.
Currently, the Eastern Army Corps '7th, 11th, 12th, 15th, and 3rd Special Forces, a total of 350,000 elite troops, were stationed there.
Behind them were the 150,000 soldiers of the two newly recruited armies. Meanwhile, reinforcements from all over the world were arriving one after another.
The 400,000-strong alliance army of Dream Dance, Wild Waves, and the Alliance of Free Cities had also set off two days ago.
On the main battlefield, nearly a million orc warriors were stationed in front of the Ao Long Castle, launching attacks again and again.
They could only attack from the front. It was very difficult to spread out their forces. At most, they could accommodate 100,000 people to attack at once. No matter how many they had, it would be useless.
Over the past 30 days, the Beastmen had launched attacks again and again, but the sturdy city walls and the rain of arrows kept them outside the city, leaving only the blood of the Beastmen.
"One month. At most, I will let you be arrogant for another month. When all our reinforcements arrive, it will be time for you to pay with your blood.”
Dongfang Yun muttered to himself as he stood on the city wall and looked down at the battle below.
As he did not have enough troops, this hero in the hearts of the Easterners could only rely on the Ao Long Castle to defend. The area west of the Ao Long Castle was being ravaged by these brutal orcs.
Our army, which had traveled a long way, had rested in Melia to recover its fighting strength.
The soldiers under me were very happy. After all, it had been a long time since they had a good sleep and a good meal. Now that they were faced with such an opportunity, they naturally could not let it go. Moreover, all the food and accommodation were free!
He would never get tired of such days!
At this moment, I wasn't in such a good mood. To me, my main goal this time was to make contributions.
Eating well and sleeping well these few days can't satisfy my needs. What's this level of eating and drinking?
If he could become a Saint Magical Tutor, his treatment would be a hundred times, a thousand times better than now. Not only can I have a high bed, warm pillows, delicious food, but I can also have women on my left and right, enjoying the happiness of the world. This is my life!
(On this continent, only those who possess destructive power can enjoy the treatment of an emperor.）
Other than that, I also had a selfish motive. Since I was young, I had never experienced actual combat, be it magic or martial arts.
I really didn't know what effect the things I learned would have on the orcs who were two or three heads taller than me. This was very important to me, who pursued strength.
Perhaps I can meet a few experts on the battlefield and make a new breakthrough.
After waiting for the stars and the moon for four days, the good news finally arrived.
The orc warriors might have finally realized that if they didn't break through this damn castle, they wouldn't be able to return to their long-awaited hometown. Their desire for the fertile grassland had greatly strengthened their combat effectiveness.
They shouted tirelessly and rushed to the castle again and again. They rushed to death in batches. Death did not make them afraid. For the next generation, they stepped on the corpses of their companions and climbed up the wall.
This kind of attack caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers guarding the castle. Dongfang Yun thought about it again and again and finally decided to use the troops that were originally prepared to be used in the counterattack.
Thus, our chance has come. The bloody curtain has already begun.
At the same time, my battle began.
