Chapter 1218: Battle of Kamo - Ambush of Reinforcements

In a hollowed-out mountain over a hundred kilometers north of the city of Tase, an army of more than 40,000 Black Orcs ready for training gathered.

Inside the Sixth Legion Headquarters, Aride, commander of the Sixth Legion of the Black Orc Northern Army, sat in the main seat, looking at the generals standing on both sides, waiting for the opportunity to come.

In less than a moment, a black orc shadow warrior entered the hall, knelt on one knee, and answered respectfully: "Reporting to the legion commander, the human reinforcements have arrived at Luoka Mountain, only 280 kilometers away from here, and are expected to arrive at the ambush site in five hours."

"finally come."

After whispering, Aride stood up and looked around at the generals around him.

The Black Orc generals who were swept by Aride's gaze straightened their chests and waited for the orders from their legion commander.

"Pass the order down, act according to the plan, and make sure to annihilate this human reinforcement in the shortest possible time."

"Yes, legion commander."

Everyone answered and left the hall one after another.

Ten minutes later, the Black Orc army, which had been ready, left the mountains and headed towards the designated ambush site.

……

On the muddy road, more than 30,000 people marched for more than ten kilometers and quickly headed towards the city of Tase.

In the jungles on both sides, tens of thousands of black orc troops hid underground, listening to the vibrations of the ground and waiting for orders from above.

Among the marching troops, the commander of the 3rd Army of the 26th Legion, Gran, had already received a warning from the commander of the Holy Light Shield Legion and had been sending out messengers to issue warnings among the troops.

Underground, Arid, the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Black Asian Orcs Northern Army, watched as the enemy had completely entered the encirclement and shouted, "Attack."

As the order was given, tens of thousands of black orcs hiding underground appeared on the ground, rushed out of the jungle, and rushed towards the human army marching on the muddy road at the foot of the mountain.

At the same time, thousands of spears carrying shamanic poison and fire magic flew out of the jungle and shot down the mountain.

"Pfft-"

More than a thousand soldiers had no time to dodge and were pierced by the black spears.

In an instant, a large amount of corrosive green gas burst out from the dead soldier's body and spread around.

"Use the purification magic to disperse these gases."

A general saw this scene and decisively gave orders to the Dawn Priest who was protected in the center of the team.

A few minutes later, the two sides began to engage in battle.

On the muddy road, the two sides began to fight.

Screams and roars were heard everywhere, limbs flew everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere.

Thanks to the continuous precautions taken by the commander of the 3rd Army of the 26th Corps, Gran, during the march, even though the troops were scattered by the sudden attack of the enemy, they still maintained a certain order and did not collapse at the first blow.

In the rear army, the commander of the Holy Light Shield Legion, Names, looked at the friendly forces that were at a disadvantage, and ordered fifteen Soul-level Holy Shield Warriors hidden in the marching team to take action.

With the arrival of strong reinforcements, the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.

Thousands of meters above the ground, twelve Soul-level Holy Shield Warriors were not at a disadvantage against twenty-one Soul-level Black Orcs.

On the battlefield, the remaining three Soul-Intent-level Holy Shield Warriors cooperated with the Soul-Intent-level extraordinary warriors of the Third Army of the Twenty-Sixth Legion to continuously clear out the strong men among the enemy.

As night fell, the situation on the battlefield was reversed.

After realizing that he was caught in a conspiracy, Arid, commander of the Sixth Legion of the Black Orc Northern Army, acted decisively and ordered his troops to retreat.

The horn sounded, and the soldiers of the Sixth Legion of Black Orcs, who were in the midst of a fierce battle, began to retreat, running wildly into the mountains and forests on both sides.

The enemy retreated, and the remaining human soldiers dragged their exhausted bodies and, under the orders of their officers, began to clean up the battlefield, collecting the bodies of their fallen comrades. They also threw the bodies of the Black Orcs together and purified the bodies of these pagans with flames.

After the battle, Gran, the commander of the 3rd Army of the 26th Army, came to the side of Namus, the commander of the Holy Light Shield Army, beat his chest in salute, bowed his head and thanked him: "Thank you for your help, Lord Namus."

"I said before that if your group encounters an attack that they cannot resist, I will help." Names waved his hand, indicating that the other party did not need to do so.

"In any case, without your help, Lord Names, our army would have been defeated." Gran once again expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Seeing this, Names had no choice but to accept the other party's thanks and then asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Hearing this, Gran replied without any hesitation: "Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. After cleaning up the battlefield, I will order the troops to continue marching to support the city of Tasai."

"I suggest you find a place to camp ahead." Namus looked at Gran and slowly advised, "According to the time, the second batch of reinforcements should have already set out from the Lekaia War City."

"We are heading to Tasai City now. Although the Holy Light Shield Corps can annihilate all the enemy forces, it cannot achieve the result the Marshal wants."

Hearing what Namus said, Gran reacted instantly.

The Black Asia Orc Army's raid failed this time, and what happened here will inevitably be reported back to their base camp.

If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy will inevitably increase its forces and intercept us on the way to the city of Tase.

If we continue to advance with the current troops, we will undoubtedly be courting death.

In addition, exposing the Holy Light Shield Legion in advance is not conducive to destroying the Black Orcs' manpower to the greatest extent.

"It's up to you."

After coming to his senses, Gran lowered his head and answered.

"Go and do your work first."

"Yes, my lord."

Gran stood up, bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

As time passed, the sky gradually brightened.

A high-ranking silver warrior came to Gran, bowed and saluted, and reported: "General, in yesterday's battle, 6,326 of our soldiers were killed and 2,583 were injured."

"As for the enemy, I counted the bodies with my hands and found that a total of 3,583 Black Orcs were killed."

Hearing the number of casualties, Gran fell silent for a moment, looked up at the sky with a complicated look in his eyes.
