Chapter 925: Killing the Centaur Leader in Battle
Chapter 925: Killing the Centaur Leader in Battle
"It should be the orcs' reinforcements."
After Christian heard the news.
Made a quick judgment.
"Your Excellency Lord."
"We only have 5,000 Paladins."
"The enemy's number is more than ten times ours."
"If we let them enter the Green Cloud City, they will have a geographical advantage."
"If you want to take it down, I'm afraid it will take some time."
"By then, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen to Guderian's elven tribe."
Fang Yuan thought for a moment.
"You want to wipe them out on the grassland?"
Christian nodded.
"The enemy is on the march."
“We found them ahead of time.”
"This is the opportunity."
"Don't seek to kill them, defeat them."
"Buy us some time to capture Green Cloud City."
“That’s totally doable.”
"Besides, time is urgent and we don't have time to chase after the fleeing soldiers."
The mission of this surprise attack is to capture the Green City.
Then cooperate with the elf tribal army.
Defeat the elf minions that are out.
We really can't waste too much time chasing the orc army on the grassland.
"Do you want to use a forbidden spell?"
Fang Yuan asked.
"unnecessary."
"The Centaurs' movement speed is not weak."
"The enemy is all cavalry. Only a natural disaster-level forbidden spell can cover them."
"Ordinary forbidden spells have a limited killing range."
"After they were released, only a small number were killed, and the rest fled in all directions."
"We still need to waste time chasing and killing."
"Besides, the release of the forbidden spell caused changes in the celestial phenomena, and we are not far from the Green Cloud City."
"Using forbidden spells will expose your position very likely."
"If we alert the other party, our plan will be disrupted."
"For the sake of caution, do not use forbidden spells."
"Why don't I lead a group of elite troops to attack the enemy's center, disrupt their deployment, find out the position of their main general, and kill them."
"As long as the main general dies, the enemy army will inevitably collapse and fall into defeat."
"The army was defeated, and it will take a long time to gather again."
"After defeating them, we will withdraw immediately."
"Go straight to the Green Cloud City, then break the city, and then gather the army to the north to support Guderian."
"Capture the legion outside Green Cloud Capital."
"As long as we're fast enough."
"After winning these two battles, we may be able to return and eat these defeated orcs."
Christian is worthy of being the Imperial Twin Pillars of Highgarden and the Fox of Holy Light of the Church of Holy Light.
His keen insight into the battlefield is far beyond the reach of ordinary heroes.
So how should this battle be fought?
Fang Yuan doesn't need to worry at all.
"You make the arrangements."
"I'll wait for your news here."
They had already formed a tacit understanding with Fang Yuan.
No need to say more.
Christian took over the command of the Holy Light Knights.
The Holy Light Knight Castle after being transformed by the Heart of Glory.
All Holy Light Knights have been upgraded to Dark Gold units.
At the same time, he mastered the dark gold level skill, Armor of Light.
After being released, the armor of a single Holy Light Knight has extremely strong defense against magic and physical damage.
And if it is released as a legion.
The Armor of the God of Light can trigger the skill of the Flame of Light.
Burns targets on contact.
Caused huge damage to it.
This!
It's just a skill of the Holy Light Knight.
In addition, the Holy Light Demon-Sealing Slash that he originally mastered can instantly kill the top demigod units of the non-Holy Light camp.
That is the power of the Holy Light Knight.
This gave Christian the confidence to lead them to attack the elite orcs, centaurs and heavily armored knights.
"Send the order!"
“In thousands.”
"Divide into five legions of thousand men."
Christian divided the legion into five parts.
He selected one thousand of them and led them under his command.
And the remaining four thousand Holy Light Knights.
Christian gave them an almost impossible task.
Break up the formation of the horses and heavy cavalry.
If you change the legion.
Even the former Demon Knight.
He wanted to defeat an enemy that was ten times his number with only four thousand.
That's all wishful thinking.
That year on the Fengxi Grassland.
When the Demon Knight faced the Turtle Infantry, he was almost wiped out.
But the Holy Light Knight is not the Demon Knight.
Its combat power is dozens of times that of the Demon Knight.
Four legions of centurions received orders from Christian.
There was no hesitation.
"Your Mightiness."
"Do not worry."
"Within an hour!"
"It will definitely break!"
Christian nodded.
Soon four thousand Holy Light Knights galloped away.
There were only a thousand soldiers left around Christian.
"Your Excellency Lord."
"Your safety is of utmost importance."
"These nine hundred Holy Light Knights will protect you."
When Fang Yuan heard this, he knew how powerful Christian was.
He was also slightly surprised.
"Christian, you only have 100 Holy Light Knights left!!!"
Her answer to this was easy.
"enough."
"My mission is to kill the enemy's main general."
"All it takes is for the other side to reveal their position on the battlefield."
"I can use the Unicorn's teleportation skill."
"Teleport yourself and one hundred Holy Light Knights to the designated location."
"With my strength and these Holy Light Knights."
"It is enough to kill the enemy commander."
After hearing this, Fang Yuan also felt that the plan was feasible.
He said immediately.
"it is good."
"The rest is up to you."
"If it's impossible."
"Retreat immediately!"
“Even if it fails on the grassland.”
"Let's go find Lilith. The army in her floating city can also turn the Orc Empire upside down."
Christian didn't answer.
She didn't think she would fail.
After saying goodbye to Fang Yuan.
Christian, with a hundred Holy Light Knights, soon appeared near the edge of the battlefield.
And this time.
The four thousand Holy Light Knights under her command have arrived at the designated location.
Waiting for the right time to attack.
"Report."
"Your Mightiness."
"A thousand cavalry units will be deployed in front to attack the enemy's vanguard."
"Two thousand cavalry teams are deployed in the middle, ready to attack the enemy's center."
"The remaining Thousand Cavalry Team will be at the rear, waiting for the enemy to cause internal strife, and then looking for an opportunity to attack."
Hear about plans from the front lines.
Christian looked at the Centaur heavy cavalry marching not far away.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"The ancestors of these orcs came from the Old World."
"Then it must have some heritage from the orc race."
"The orc army battles in the Old World."
“The forwards are often the strongest.”
"Many times, even the main commander will be in the vanguard corps."
"Send a message to the Thousand Riders at the back."
“Don’t be in the back.”
"Move forward and attack together with the Thousand Riders that are intercepting us in front."
"Tell the Thousand Cavalry Team that is preparing to attack the central army to wait for news of the Thousand Cavalry Team intercepting ahead."
"Yes!"
Christian arranged it this way.
Because he inferred that the orcs in this world were no matter how useless they were.
The orcs are a racial group that values the use of force.
A noble who leads an army to war cannot hide behind even if he is not at the front.
So let the corps that intercepts the forward take action first.
As long as the vanguard corps encounters an obstruction.
The central army will definitely mobilize the legions.
At this time, the legion waiting in the middle took action.
Rush into the enemy's mobilized army.
The enemy's command center will inevitably appear.
And at that time!
That was Christian's chance.
Although the Centaurs are not one of the five most powerful races in the Orc Empire.
But the Centaur cavalry is one of the most valiant and capable units of the Orcs.
That is to say, Fisher was born into the fox clan.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary orcs to ask the Centaurs to send out so many heavily armored knights for support.
And he also has absolute confidence in his own strength.
This time, the Centaur chief led the troops.
So it didn't follow the usual practice.
The scouts were deployed at a distance of thirty kilometers.
They only conducted dispersed reconnaissance in a vertical line along the legion's marching route.
This mission was originally a support mission.
Responsible for entering the Green Capital.
There is a high probability that there will be no war.
It is understandable that the Centaur leader is so careless.
however!
Those who are good at swimming drown.
People who underestimate their enemies often end up being defeated at their strongest point.
The Centaurs of the past would never lose no matter how they fought.
just now!
They are about to face a situation where they will not win no matter how hard they fight.
"Your Mightiness."
"This is an inquiry from Lord Fisher."
"Oh, what's the question?"
Chinese army.
The Centaur cavalry commander asked.
"Ask us when we'll arrive."
"All the elf cavalry from Green Cloud City have left."
"There is no force stationed there now."
"Mr. Fisher was worried, so he sent us here to inquire."
Hear this.
The Centaur commander laughed.
"There's nothing to worry about."
"Could it be that these are the elf cavalry wandering on the grassland?"
"They will suddenly bypass the frontal battlefield and launch a surprise attack on the Green Cloud City."
“Even if it can be circumvented.”
"But we are still here!"
The Centaur commander pointed at the Centaur heavy-armored knights beside him.
"Look at them."
"We have hundreds of thousands of knights scattered all over this place."
"Even if the cavalry of the Elven tribe showed up and wanted to launch a surprise attack."
"They can get around us?"
"To be honest, if it was an elf race that had never been weakened."
“That possibility does exist.”
"But unfortunately, the elves have fallen into decline."
"They can't and don't have the strength to complete this tactic."
"Send troops by force!"
"That's asking for death."
The commander of the Centaurs has full confidence in his own strength.
This message also infected other people.
They all spoke.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
“We’ll respond right away.”
The Centaur leader nodded.
And just when they were about to leave.
suddenly!
"Boom~"
There was a burst of rapid noise.
There was also ground shaking.
"what sound?"
"It seems to be cavalry."
"asshole."
"Which cavalry is speeding up without my order?"
The Centaur leader frowned and cursed.
Apparently he didn't think it could be an enemy.
Because he had hundreds of thousands of heavily armored cavalrymen.
No matter how crazy they are, no one would dare to send troops to charge at them directly.
So he subconsciously thought that it was his own Centaur cavalry that was speeding up.
"go."
"Tell me after you've investigated thoroughly."
"Not following orders."
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless in military law."
"As ordered!"
The order has not yet been issued.
The rumbling sound like thunder suddenly intensified.
From far to near.
At this moment!
The Centaur leader realized that something was wrong.
He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
"Boom~"
The sound is getting closer.
far away.
There are rolling hills.
This hill is common in the grasslands.
The Centaur army arrived here.
The striker has gone over the hill.
But the central army was still on this side of the hill.
At this time, the Centaur commander suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"quick."
"Notify the forward battalion."
"Prepare for defense."
"Pass the order."
"The central army stopped advancing."
"In attack formation."
But it hasn't been passed down yet.
On the hills in the distance.
A large number of cavalry appeared.
"There is!"
See the sudden crosscut into the battlefield.
Immediately capture the cavalry on top of the hill.
All the centaurs were stunned.
They didn't even react.
And these cavalrymen were Christian's two thousand cavalry.
"For the Holy Light!"
The Holy Light Knights did not launch an attack immediately, but occupied the top of the hill.
There is only one purpose.
Convenient location!
The cavalry charged from high to low.
The powerful force it carries can directly shatter an entire military formation.
And when the holy light floats above the hill.
Two thousand cavalrymen who took advantage of the terrain.
He turned his horse and rushed down the hill.
"defense!"
The Centaur leader was in a state of unconsciousness for a short time.
Adjusted quickly.
Order immediately.
The legion organized the defense.
The heavy cavalry of the Centaurs are undoubtedly elite.
After the order is issued.
The huge formation of the central army immediately formed a dense hollow square.
Centaur rangers armed with longbows moved between the square formations.
However~
They soon discovered that the charge was not in their direction.
But the forward!
"Boom~"
Two thousand Holy Light Knights, wearing the armor of the God of Light.
Like a tiger descending from the mountain.
He slammed heavily into the column of heavy cavalry and centurions under the hill.
Compared to the central army facing the enemy head-on.
These vanguard cavalry were attacked from behind.
They didn't even have time to turn around.
He suffered a fatal blow from the Holy Light Knight.
The terrifying cavalry impact force.
Plus the endless flames of holy light.
Set the entire battlefield on fire.
Those proud men and heavy-armored knights.
Facing the Holy Light Knight who is not on the same level.
The entire army was defeated in just one encounter.
"devil!"
"The devil in light."
A Centaur noble holding an iron hammer swung his weapon at the Holy Light Knight.
But the damage was rebounded.
The huge hammer smashed his own head directly.
When the soldiers around him saw this, they turned around and ran away in fear.
But he was soon caught up.
The flames of the Light God Armor set them on fire.
The centaurs and cavalrymen, covered in white flames, let out tragic howls on the battlefield.
This horrifying scene shocked the rest of the people.
One by one they dropped their weapons and fled.
The dignity of the Centaurs was completely gone at this moment.
The news of the defeat soon reached the central army.
The Centaur leader was extremely angry when he heard this.
"waste."
"Pass the order."
"Custodes!"
"Get out there and over the hill."
"Destroy them."
The Centaurs' Imperial Guards are the Centaurs' most elite cavalry.
Even when facing Behemoth Shaman, he would not be at a disadvantage.
One by one, the imperial guards, armed with huge axes, emerged.
Over the hill.
Rush straight to the battlefield.
"Your Mightiness."
"Appeared."
Beside Christian, the centurion pointed to the legion of centurions that had appeared.
The tone was extremely excited.
Christian nodded.
"Let the two thousand cavalry teams in the center attack."
"dash forward."
"Create opportunities for me."
The appearance of the enemy's imperial guards only means that the enemy's commander is there.
but!
The position of the enemy commander has not yet appeared.
And this is the mission of the two Thousand Riders.
After the order is issued.
Two hidden Thousand Riders emerged from behind the hill.
"For your Lordship."
"Holy Light Charge!"
The sudden appearance of two thousand knights.
The troops in the center were caught off guard by the heavy armor.
The original hollow square formations were broken open one after another.
This scene was also extremely unexpected to the commander-in-chief of the central army.
"Actually!"
"The target is my central army."
"Humph!"
"Without the Imperial Guards, do you think my Central Army has no fighting power?"
The Centaur commander sneered.
"Change of formation."
"Push forward."
"Wall Charge!"
This is the Centaur's specialty tactic.
Relying on their own powerful strength and numbers.
Force the enemy into a decisive battle.
The reason you bully me is that I have more people than you and I am more powerful than you.
Even the Holy Light Knight.
Faced with this tactic, the offensive was stopped.
after all!
Two thousand people are still too few.
But this tactic has a fatal flaw.
That is the main showdown on the battlefield.
The final commander position will be isolated.
At this moment!
It is the best opportunity for decapitation tactics.
Before this.
The Centaurs have never encountered cavalry that can behead them on the battlefield.
So they are unaware of their own weaknesses.
And now!
This weakness will have fatal consequences.
"Prepare!"
Christian looked at the isolated enemy command on the battlefield.
There were less than a thousand people protecting it.
It's simply courting death.
The order was given, and the Holy Light Knights behind him formed into teams.
Then, a teleportation array of light appeared under Christian's unicorn's feet.
In an instant.
One hundred Holy Light Knights disappeared.
Wait until it appears again.
He had already arrived in front of the commander-in-chief of the troop.
"you!"
The sudden appearance of the enemy caught the cavalry commander off guard.
"die!"
Christian didn't give him a chance.
The Holy Light Elf transformed into a greatsword and slashed.
From top to bottom.
Cut it directly in half.
"God said!"
"Blade of Sanctions!"
On the greatsword, holy light is charged.
Christian jumped up.
He rushed into the crowd of centaurs and cavalry in almost an instant.
All of these thousands of cavalrymen were killed.
"idiot!"
Christian kicked the Centaur commander's body away.
Then he reined in the unicorn and turned it in another direction.
over there!
The heavy armored cavalry of the Centaurs charged in a wall-like manner, exposing their backs completely in front of them.
Christian raised the sword in his hand.
It was directed at the main force of the troops who were completely unaware that their weaknesses had been exposed.
"kill!"
"Disperse them!!!" (End of this chapter)
