Under the leadership of General Pierce, our special corps set off for the frontline.
The road from Meliya to Aolong Castle was very spacious, and could accommodate twenty cavalrymen galloping side by side. With this road, the reinforcements from Aolong Castle could arrive as soon as possible.
This was also part of the defense system built to face the threat of the orcs.
In the tactics designed by the people, the few fortresses in front were used to slow down the orcs 'attack. Only this Ao Long Fortress between the two mountains was the real fortress for the people to resist the orcs.
The large city of Melia behind it was its logistics base. The spacious roads built for war were the blood vessels that sent nutrients into its body.
Today, we, the new blood, will also enter this great castle.
The 13th division of the Royal Dragon Knight Regiment, as the vanguard, displayed the advantage of the cavalry. After a day of rapid marching, the Ao Long Castle appeared in front of me.
However, what I saw wasn't what I had imagined. There was no smoke or blood, and I couldn't see the warriors of our great enemy, the magical beasts.
As they approached, they realized that the castle gates were open. There was no atmosphere of battle at all.
A captain who came to welcome us brought our division to the camp that was prepared for us. I couldn't help but ask him this question out of curiosity.
Before he could answer, our Regiment Commander knocked me hard on the head.
"Idiot, are you really the most outstanding graduate of the Royal Martial Arts Academy's Strategy Division?!
They didn't even know about the special features of this Ao Long Castle? It only had two gates, and the east gate was currently in battle. Before the east gate was broken through, those orcs would definitely not be able to reach here.
The city gate was wide open to facilitate the acceptance of all kinds of supplies.”
The captain who was leading the way smiled at me. It seemed like he agreed with this point of view, but I felt a little uneasy in my heart. However, I couldn't figure out what it was. I just felt that there was something uneasy about Ximen.
It was said that the Beastmen warriors had been attacking the city day and night for the past two days, and the troops guarding the Ao Long Castle had also suffered great losses.
The 12th army at the first line of defense had almost lost their fighting strength. Although the Orcs had suffered more than twice the casualties of their side, they still had 1.2 million elites.
However, we, the most elite troops of the human race with extremely high combat strength, have never had the chance to show our skills.
In a city defense battle, the cavalry's only role was to assault, but in this situation where the difference in strength between the enemy and the enemy was very large, the assault of tens of thousands of people was undoubtedly courting death.
As for the infantry troops that arrived two days later than us, they have already entered the battle.
The 6,000 mages quickly became the strongest force to destroy the enemy. After they arrived, the magic attack power of the castle doubled.
Every time the orc infantrymen shouted and charged at us, countless fireballs, lightning bolts, and ice arrows would appear in the air. Other than the high-level orcs who could use their battle energy to resist, the other ordinary soldiers would fall one by one.
If not for the limited mana of the mages, the infantrymen would not have had the chance to get close to the city wall.
The battle was getting more and more intense. As time passed, the mages 'mana was almost depleted.
The sturdy city wall was also cracked by the catapults. The crazy orc infantrymen took advantage of this time to climb up the city wall through the gaps in the city wall. At this time, their advantage in close combat was displayed. To eliminate an orc infantryman who jumped up the city wall, at least three human warriors would have to be sacrificed.
The ratio of casualties between the Orcs and the Humans had also increased from three to one at the beginning to two to one later. In the past two days, due to the loss of the support of the mages, the ratio of casualties had increased to one to one.
He believed that if this continued, there would soon be a problem with the source of soldiers in the castle.
Dongfang Yun, the general of Tai Long, who was standing on the city wall and commanding the battle, looked at the enemy troops swarming down the city wall and became more and more worried.
The soldiers 'stamina was almost at its limit, and the protection provided by the city walls was getting smaller and smaller. In the distant Orc camp, there was still a trump card army that had yet to enter the battle, the Berserker Legion.
"Hurry up. As long as we succeed there, the orcs here won't be a threat anymore. But why haven't we heard back yet?？”Dongfang Yun thought to himself.
In fact, not long ago, when the orc army had just captured the sunrise City, this outstanding general had realized that the Ao Long Castle was their next target.
Dongfang Yun had made a lot of preparations for this day. In addition to reinforcing the city walls and dispatching supplies, he had also secretly conducted a military mobilization. The First Army of the Eastern Army Corps, which was a cavalry regiment with 60,000 cavalrymen, was secretly sent to a place in the east.
This troop was the most important part of Dongfang Yun's military plan.
In a small town in the east that was occupied by the orcs, tall and sturdy orc soldiers were patrolling back and forth. Although this place was considered a relatively safe rear, the orcs had placed a 10,000-man team of five bear soldiers here.
Compared to this small town, the number of soldiers was a little too much.
However, compared to its importance, this number of soldiers was nothing. This was the food base for the one-million-strong orc army, and most of the food looted from various places was stored here.
The entire town was filled with granaries that were piled up like mountains. Could it be that there were also grain transport teams working busily to transport the grain to the front line?
The food here could supply all the orc troops for 30 days. There was no room for error. Although the human army in the area had been completely wiped out, the Orc King still left a large number of troops to defend.
In a forest a dozen miles away from the town, a large number of cavalrymen were making preparations. All the hooves were wrapped in layers of cloth, all the spears were polished and shiny, and all the equipment was ready. All the soldiers were filled with the belief of victory.
Today was the most important day of their lives. If they succeeded, it would be a great achievement. If they failed, the beast army would arrive in a day and destroy them.
The leading commander gave the order, and all the cavalrymen lined up neatly and set off towards their destination.
Which side would the balance between success and failure tilt towards? He hoped that the heavens would bless him…
Of course!
