Chapter 55 War begins
The distance between Yuexi Town and Dagger Ridge was only two hills. It didn't take long for the army to reach the foot of the mountain range where the 'Dagger Ridge Valley' was located.
Although the jackals were very lax, at least there were patrol teams on the outside. They immediately ran into the valley after discovering the army.
From last night's observation, Anduin Lothar had memorized the situation here, so he immediately discovered the Jackal sentries who went back to report the news.
Upon seeing this, he immediately shouted: "Everyone! Speed up and enter the valley! Seize a flat position and form a shield wall! Prepare to attack!"
After giving the order, Anduin Lothar immediately clamped his horse's belly and took the lead in rushing down the slope to the entrance of the valley.
Corwin's four men and nine hundred soldiers followed immediately.
Entering the interior of the valley, there is a canyon more than fifty meters wide and about three or four kilometers deep.
There are scattered wooden sheds standing next to the rock walls of the valley. The structure is like a parasol. A piece of wood supports the umbrella-shaped shed to allow the jackals to avoid the scorching sun.
Its architectural art is not even as good as the fishman's hut.
At this time, there was no sign of a single 'Jackal' near the entrance of the valley. Looking into the valley, one could see dozens of 'Jackal' wolves running towards the inside, and further away was the center of the Jackal tribe. There are many figures in the shadows.
Anduin Lothar quickly took into account the situation in the valley, and then ordered the legion soldiers to take positions.
When he was free, he turned to Ke Wen and said: "Your mission is over, go and stay behind the shield wall, and protect your own safety after the battle begins."
"Sir Sir!" Natalie, who was leaning on Coven's arms, straightened her waist and said eagerly: "Please allow us to join the battle!"
"That's right, Sir!" Garken jumped off his horse, took off his two-handed sword from behind and said with a smile, "We can join the battle without protection!"
Tager didn't say anything, he just dismounted silently, picked up his shield and hammer, and got ready for battle.
Anduin Lothar looked at the three of them, and finally looked at Ke Wen, with a questioning look in his eyes.
In response, Kewen nodded slowly.
"Okay!" Anduin Lothar nodded after receiving Coven's response.
He glanced at the three Galkans and said, "I will add one hundred gold coins to your mission reward."
"Thank you, Sir!" Garken grinned.
Anduin Lothar glanced at Cowen again, and said nothing more this time. Then he turned back, raised his legs, and got off the horse.
Because the height of the 'Jackal' was too short, it was difficult to attack while riding a horse, so Anduin Lothar had all the horses led to the mouth of the valley, and he asked for a shield and blended into the shield wall.
The momentum of the legion became grim, and everyone was silent, waiting for the gnoll army to gather and the opponent's attack.
After nearly ten minutes, more than a thousand jackals came closer in one piece.
The messy team of jackals occupied half of the width of the entire valley, and the howls sounded continuously, seemingly unstoppable.
"The front row has a lower center of gravity! Prepare for impact!"
Anduin Lothar shouted loudly. At the same time, he, who was at the front of the shield wall, immediately squatted down and put his shoulders on the inside of the shield.
A few moments!
boom--
The wave of jackals suddenly collided with the shield walls formed by the soldiers, causing the shield wall formations to shake.
However, the shield array was very strong and they immediately held on.
The next moment, many sharp swords pierced out from the gaps in the shield, causing the jackals who threw themselves on the shield to let out screams of 'aow'.
In an instant, nearly a hundred jackals were killed.
The attack of the jackal wave slowed down the attack.
Seeing this, Anduin Lothar used his shield to push aside a gnoll corpse, then rushed out of the shield formation and shouted: "Attack——"
"For His Majesty the King——"
The soldiers quickly disbanded the shield formation, broke into pieces and charged forward, jumping into the wave of gnolls.
Garken then launched a charge, swung the sword with both hands horizontally, and threw himself into the wolves.
Natalie left Coven's chest, dismounted, and rushed forward with a strong body.
"Huha——"
A war cry sounded, and Tager gave everyone around him a little boost of adrenaline. Then he held up his shield as if he transformed into a big bear, and suddenly bumped into the gnoll in front.
Anduin Lothar was stunned for a moment. After killing a gnoll with a sword, he turned around angrily and yelled: "Who sent out a war cry so early!? Don't you know how to conserve your physical strength!?"
Taggar paused in his attack, holding up his shield at a loss to meet the gnoll's chops. At the same time, he turned to look at Anduin Lothar, not knowing what to do.
Seeing this, Coven immediately said loudly to Anduin Lothar: "Sorry, our fighting method has always been this way. We have never cooperated with the army and caused interference to you."
Hearing this, Anduin Lothar's anger gradually subsided, but he still said sternly: "Remember! The battle cry must be issued at the most appropriate time!"
As he finished speaking, he caught the figure of a jackal out of the corner of his eye. The long sword in his hand swept across quickly and cut off the head of a jackal that rushed towards him.
The battle continues.
Because of Tager's battle cry, the soldiers' offensive intensity was further improved.
Coven rode on Natalie's horse without taking any action. He observed for a moment and found that as the war cry's blessing time passed, the soldiers were indeed in a state of weakness.
In the past, the soldiers could easily fight one against two, and with the support of the war cry, they could fight one against three. Now, the soldiers could only maintain a relaxed one-on-one status, and the battle between one against two could only be a stalemate.
Just when Kewen wanted to make amends, another war cry suddenly sounded.
After Anduin Lothar knocked over a jackal, he suddenly looked up to the sky and roared.
His war cry was much more powerful than Tagle's. The soldiers who were already in a state of fatigue regained strength out of thin air with the blessing of the war cry, and their skin turned red.
The attack intensity of the legion suddenly increased significantly again, the strength of the soldiers increased, and the attack speed suddenly became faster.
In an instant, more than three hundred jackals were killed by the soldiers.
At this point, the number of the Jackal army is only half, and the outcome of this battle is already in sight. It is estimated that the battle will be over within two minutes, which is also the time when the war cry ends.
Ke Wen glanced at Anduin Lothar with slight admiration. Sure enough, the opponent was very accurate in grasping the fighter opportunities.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly exclaimed: "Alert! Ogre——"
Many people, including Ke Wen, turned their heads and looked toward the interior of the valley.
Sure enough, five big men nearly three meters tall appeared behind the jackal army and were approaching.
Anduin Lothar glared angrily. After quickly killing the gnoll in front of him, he immediately shouted: "Speed up the attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly rushed forward, splitting the gnolls in front of him, and prepared to fight the five ogres.
Ke Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that he couldn't continue watching the show.
So he took out the staff from his pocket, released the magic of 'teleportation' with a thought, and suddenly disappeared with the war horse under him.
When he reappeared, Ke Wen was already behind those ogres.
The two two-headed ogres noticed the aura of magic power and turned their heads stupidly subconsciously.
However, at this moment, Ke Wen had already raised his staff and pointed forward.
Hufu——
The sound of strong wind sounded.
A tornado mixed with extremely cold air spurted out from the front of the staff.
The whirlwind was also mixed with many ice crystals, which collided with each other and made a crisp sound of 'ding bells'.
The tornado expanded rapidly after gushing out, instantly submerging the bodies of the two 'two-headed ogres' with cold air, and also included three other ogres who were unaware of it.
After a short moment, the steps of the five ogres suddenly stopped.
The blue skin of the two two-headed ogres had turned pale at this time.
But the skin of the three brown-skinned single-headed ogres turned blue-white at this time.
The effect of frost appeared on the skin of the five ogres, and at the same time, the whites of their eyes turned up a little.
However, these ogres have relatively high resistance. Although they lost their mobility, they did not lose their lives under Kewen's magic.
Just as Kewen was about to add another shot of magic, Anduin Lothar's figure suddenly knocked away two gnolls and broke out from the gnoll army.
Anduin Lothar didn't notice anything strange about the ogre. He suddenly jumped up and pierced the head of an ogre warrior with his sword.
Landing on the ogre's shoulder, Anduin Lothar jumped up again and pounced on the second ogre.
It wasn't until he jumped to a high altitude that he finally spotted Ke Wen's figure.
Anduin Lothar couldn't help being stunned, but he came back to his senses instantly, and his eyes quickly scanned the five ogres.
Instantly understanding the situation, Anduin Lothar pierced the second ogre's head with his sword.
Landing on the ogre's shoulder, Anduin Lothar made no next move. Instead, he looked at Ke Wen speechlessly, revealing the little question of "Why didn't you tell me earlier, and let me go through this in vain?" Resentment.
Anduin Lothar's figure fell as the ogre turned into a corpse and fell.
It was only then that Kewen curled up his lips, raised his hand and fired five 'arcane missiles'.
The missile automatically locked onto the target, flashed through the air briefly, and hit the five heads of the remaining three ogres.
Bang bang bang...
Heads were exploded one by one by 'arcane missiles', and at the same time, the magic shock wave also caused the remaining three ogres to fall down.
The ground was smashed by the ogre's huge body, making a "Peng Peng" sound.
Without the ogre as an obstacle, Coven on horseback finally met Anduin Lothar's eyes again.
Looking at each other briefly, the two of them smiled.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Coven's unpredictable prophet made a sound at the same time as Anduin Lothar...
