The sky is getting dark
The gnolls were marching under the moonlight.
Just as they were moving forward, they suddenly split into two, like a huge pocket, trying to surround the front.
Gnolls had a very sensitive sense of smell. They could smell the scent of creatures far away.
Especially after starving for a long time, these gnolls were more sensitive to the smell of food.
They had already smelled the prey in front of them.
As for the gnolls 'encirclement, it was an instinct that was imprinted in their genes, and it was also the foundation of their group combat.
Behind these gnolls were orcs holding shields and wearing armor.
These Beastmen had iron armor tied to their vital parts for defense, and these iron armors were taken from the armor of the sentries, archers, and some guards.
It looked very simple and unsightly.
But it was effective!
The protection of these inlaid metals could still protect the lives of these Beastmen at the critical moment.
The orcs advanced silently. Their steps were orderly and orderly, and there was no sense of chaos.
It was hard to imagine that these Beastmen, who looked like an elite army, had only gone through less than a week of training.
When you give your all to do something, you can always make unimaginable progress.
It was oppressive and strict.
The Beastman Lieutenant Generals were commanding the front of the army, and in the middle were Goshawk and the Beastman Lieutenant General.
In addition, there was also a huge behemoth.
The Behemoth had a huge appetite, which was a huge burden for Goshawk.
The food of a Behemoth was comparable to the food needed by dozens of orcs.
Even so, Goshawk did not mistreat the Behemoth.
This made the Behemoth Beast even more tame and obey Goshawk's orders.
The entire army marched forward silently like a ghost.

other side
Viscount Sander was leading his army and was stationed on a desolate plain. The surroundings were very vast and there was no shelter. There was no need to worry about an enemy ambush.
Other than that, the Holy Knights spread out to act as scouts.
Once there was any movement in the surroundings, the Paladins would react immediately.
The tents that the army was stationed in were connected together, and there were many sentries in the tents.
In the security team, there were people taking turns to ensure that there were people on guard throughout the night.
"Damn Beastmen, they actually ran so far. When I catch them, I'll definitely skin them alive!”
In the huge tent, Viscount Sander was drinking and complaining.
This place was too desolate. Not only was there no entertainment, but the environment was also very bad.
During the day, the heat here was unbearable.
At night, it was very cold.
If it weren't for these orcs, he would still be in his warm castle, having fun with those beautiful female slaves.
He had just captured a batch of elves and locked them in the dungeon. He had not had the time to train them.
As for the threat of the orcs?
He didn't care at all!
The army he led this time was very powerful. There were 3500 sentries, 1500 archers, 200 Holy Inquisitors, 100 royal griffins, and 95 Holy Knights.
Just these legions alone could easily wipe out tens of thousands of orc legions on the battlefield.
Those orcs who didn't know how to form an army, even if they looked very fierce, they couldn't display their strength at all.
Inquisitors, royal griffins, and paladins were all special and rare existences.
After carrying these special troops, he became even more confident.
This power was too strong!
He was even more confident now that he had easily wiped out four large orc tribes.
"Viscount Sander has discovered something unusual!”
Just as Viscount Sander fell asleep, a Holy Knight came to Viscount Sander's tent.
"What is it? Is it those beastmen?"
Not only was Viscount Sander panicking, but he was also eager to give it a try.
The sooner he could destroy those Beastmen, the sooner he could leave this damned place.
"It's not Orcs, it's Gnolls! Our paladins have discovered a large number of gnolls. They have already begun to surround us. There are a lot of gnolls, and it's not normal!”The Paladin reported.
"How many are there?"
"The estimated number is at least ten thousand!”
"Ten thousand?"
Viscount Sander's expression froze, and he finally became much more serious.
Tens of thousands of gnolls could already pose a threat to his army.
More importantly, their enemies were the orcs!
It would be foolish of them to waste too much time on these gnolls.
"I originally wanted to execute their clansmen in front of these beastmen, but now it seems that I have to feed these beastmen first!”
A cold smile appeared on Viscount Sander's face as he said coldly,""Immediately begin to form a defensive line. Chase these Beastmen away and make them our first line of defense.”
As everyone knew, the gnolls treated all living creatures as food.
The gnolls who dared to attack them must be starving.
In that case, he would feed them some food.
As long as these orcs attracted the gnolls 'attention, the gnolls who could attack their barracks and pose a threat to them would naturally be much less.
With their strength, they could easily conquer these orcs.
"Yes, sir!"
The paladin quickly retreated, and the soldiers came out of their tents and formed a square formation again.
There were even more Beastmen being chased away by the archers.
"All of you, go to the front. If you can defeat these gnolls, you can still survive. Otherwise, all of you will become food for the gnolls!”
The soldiers of the Holy Griffin Empire fiercely drove the orcs forward.
Behind the Beastmen, there were also archers who were raising their heavy crossbows and locking onto the Beastmen.
An orc growled, unwilling to walk forward.
In the next moment, a crossbow bolt struck the back of his head, killing him.
When the other orcs saw this, their eyes turned red and they looked like they were going to resist.
"Don't resist. We have to survive. If we anger them, they will slaughter even more Beastman tribes.”
A roar came from the Beastmen.
The reason why the Holy Griffin Empire could make these orcs slaves and make them obey orders was naturally due to many threats.
They often lied to the Beastmen, but the Beastmen had no choice but to believe them.
Because they didn't dare to gamble!
There were many small and medium-sized tribes around the four big tribes that had been destroyed. The Holy Griffin Empire used these orc tribes to threaten them.
Under the archers 'urging, all the orcs scattered in all directions, leaving the Holy Griffin Empire's square formation and coming out of the archers' shooting range.
