Lord Harland.

Chapter 299 The decisive battle in the field
Dragon-veined kobolds are different from ordinary kobolds. Their lifespan is up to 60 years. Every adult dragon-veined kobold is a born professional. He is the king of the kobold tribe and the foundation for Kiram to establish himself in the orc empire.

Without this dragon-blood kobold army, even if Killam became a legend, he would still be an empty commander, unable to establish military exploits, and it would be difficult to gain prestige in the orc army.

The dragon vein kobold tribe in the orc kingdom, including the elderly and underage children, only totaled more than 2 people.

Although kobolds have strong reproductive ability, it is very difficult for dragon vein kobolds to give birth.Coupled with the consumption of the war, the dragon vein kobolds can maintain a population of up to 2 people, which is supplemented by Kiram's use of magical means to transform.

The legendary third-tier dragon crystal in Killam's hands can transform three hundred dragon vein kobolds every year through magical means.

Seven or eight hundred dragon vein kobolds were killed and injured at one time, which made Kiram feel extremely distressed.

Over the past ten years, the army in Harland's territory has used alchemy bombs many times, causing many casualties to the orcs. Killam and others have also received similar information many times, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Although the alchemy bombs are powerful, they are also expensive to manufacture. Using hundreds of them at a time will not play a decisive role in the main battle.

This kind of weapon has been around for thousands of years on the Dawn Plane, and it is not new at all.

But Killam never expected that the firepower in Harland's territory would be so fierce?

Thousands of alchemy bombs were actually invested in a battle, which achieved a very critical effect.This is enough to show that the Haaland Territory has mastered the method of manufacturing alchemical bombs at low cost and can use this weapon in conventional warfare.

This discovery put Killam in an extremely bad mood, which meant that the Warfare of Grant Kingdom would increase by [-]%.Coupled with the magic hot air balloon, every battle of the orcs in this direction will become very difficult.

At this moment, regret is of no use.Casualties have been incurred and the dead cannot be raised.

Killam could only grit his teeth, and ordered the remaining dragon vein kobolds to continue charging.

Seeing the dragon vein kobolds rushing forward regardless of casualties, the soldiers of the first brigade raised their scorching ray guns and fired a volley at the dragon vein kobolds.

From last winter to March of this year, the Harland Territory Mage Association and the military industry department worked overtime to produce [-] scorching ray guns, [-] of which were assigned to the first brigade.

These [-] scorching ray guns are mainly distributed to recruits.

The scorching ray gun relies on magic crystals for power and consumes less magic power on soldiers. Even junior warrior students can consume fighting energy to fire more than ten rounds.

The recruits equipped with this kind of weapon will improve their combat effectiveness extremely quickly. The lethality of long-range projection can be compared to the third-level archery veterans who have been trained for more than ten years.

Harland led the first brigade to have five or six hundred veterans with high levels of archery, plus three hundred new recruits equipped with scorching ray guns, and their shooting ability almost doubled.

The short distance of tens of meters caused the dragon vein kobolds to suffer extremely heavy casualties.

The sound of wailing and screaming continued, and one after another scorching rays hit the dragon vein kobold army formation.

The scorching ray is a second-ring fire attribute magic, originally known for its destructive power.Even if a third-tier professional is hit head-on, it is not easy to defend.

According to tests conducted by the Harland Master Mage Association, the penetrating power of this magic is more powerful than killing two powerful bows with one stone.

Moreover, being hit by the scorching ray will also carry impact kinetic energy damage, explosion damage, and magic fire damage.Even a snake-body man with rough skin and thick flesh will lose his life if he is hit by several scorching rays in succession.

Although the dragon vein kobolds are far more flexible than the snake body, their defensive ability is still weak, not as good as the wild boar and tauren. Moreover, in large-scale battles, their speed and agility can hardly play a role.

What's the use of shooting three hundred scorching rays at once, no matter how high your agility is and how powerful your dodge is?

One after another of scorching rays shot out, hitting the kobolds with dragon veins, making popping sounds. In just one or two minutes, Li Cha could smell the smell of burnt barbecue.

After being raided by the alchemy bomb, the kobolds suffered 800 casualties, and then faced the long-range projection power of the Harland Territory, the kobolds continued to suffer 600 casualties.

Before the hand-to-hand combat, the kobolds had suffered more than 300 casualties.Such a loss is equivalent to fighting several brutal wars.

After finally getting close to the army formation of the first brigade, several backbone squadrons stood in front of them. They activated the enchanted armor, and the brute force technique was activated instantly.

Most of these backbone soldiers are high-level warrior apprentices. After using brute force, their strength is no weaker than that of professionals in a short period of time.They held large shields and struggled to block the fierce attack of the dragon-veined kobolds.

"Don't panic, don't panic, just like in training, change formation, change formation quickly."

Grassroots officers kept issuing orders to recruits with scorching ray guns.

After more than a year of hard training, obeying orders in battle is already a soldier's instinct, and their fear of the whip military law is somewhat higher than death.

Some people with insufficient willpower will basically be eliminated in recruit training.

Moreover, in the cruel social environment of the Dawn Plane, those who are not strong-willed cannot survive at all.Especially in northern Xinjiang, which faces an orc invasion every three years, there are no weak people here.

Even recruits with less combat experience, under the command of veteran officers, can still carry out military orders without compromise.

The soldiers using scorching ray guns skillfully changed their formation, retreated to the two wings of the shield formation, and attacked the dragon vein kobold from the side.

The dragon vein kobold didn't notice for a while, and a series of scorching rays hit the soft underbelly of the two wings, causing even more serious casualties.

Ordinary orc brigades, because of their low organizational skills, rely entirely on blood and courage to fight, and they are actually a mob.

The reason why the orcs are able to fight with the human army relies on their fearlessness. The wild boar, lion, elephant, and werewolf are far superior to human physical fitness, and the number of professionals is far greater than that of the human army. It relies on the power bonus of the bloodline spell.

Even more than 2000 years ago, when the Orc Empire was dominant, the knights composed of human knights could often defeat the Orc army by relying on their organizational advantages.

Li Cha has led troops to fight against the orcs for many years, and it is rare to see the orcs mastering the army formation proficiently, and it is even more impossible to change the formation during the battle.

Orcs always fight with three axes. Goatmen and kobolds serve as cannon fodder to test the enemy's firepower. Squadrons such as wild boars and tauren charge. Special forces were thrown in, and the werewolf cavalry chased after defeating the enemy.

But relying on this simple tactic, before there is no overwhelming advantage in weapons and equipment, it is enough to compete with the main regular army of the human kingdom.

The second-line army with average combat effectiveness could not withstand the orcs' three-axe attack.

The dragon-veined kobolds were very well organized. After the battle situation changed, the dragon-veined kobolds immediately divided into four squadrons and attacked the searing ray spearmen on both wings.

The first brigade only has four squadrons equipped with brute armor and light armor, and only these four squadrons can withstand elite orc soldiers in hand-to-hand combat.Although the remaining squadrons are not afraid of death, facing all professional soldiers, they cannot defeat the enemy in terms of combat effectiveness.

Since they couldn't defeat their opponents in hand-to-hand combat, the scorching ray gunners on both sides could only fire scorching rays while continuing to change formation and move closer to several main squadrons.

Once they were approached by the dragon kobolds and fell into hand-to-hand combat, it was impossible for the recruits of these two squadrons to withstand the attack of the four squadrons of dragon kobolds.

After entering hand-to-hand combat, it became difficult to kill the dragon-veined kobolds, and the casualties of Harland's soldiers gradually increased.

Powerful professionals such as Li Cha and Martin also took action one after another, killing the dragon vein kobolds, and relieving the pressure on the comrades around them.

Seeing that the dragon vein kobolds were about to break through the formation of the third squadron, the shield formation was torn apart, and more than a dozen veterans holding shields suffered heavy casualties and screamed.

Li Cha immediately invested eight points of mental power and released a powerful fireball technique. Several large fireballs fell from the sky and suddenly fell into the crowd of dragon-blooded dog heads. Several violent explosions came, and more than twenty dragon-blooded dog-headed people were killed or injured. .

Li Cha's magic ability has surpassed that of ordinary nine-ring magicians, equivalent to a weakened version of legendary magicians. The lethality of his powerful magic is amazing for ordinary soldiers and low-level professionals.

As soon as he made a move, the offensive of the kobold squadron was immediately interrupted, and the reinforcements of the dragon vein kobold commando were swept away by Li Cha.

The commander of the third squadron immediately seized the opportunity and led the reserve team to launch a fierce attack, killing seven or eight dragon vein kobold warriors, blocking the gap in the shield formation, and the battle line was once again balanced.

The two sides came and went, the battle became extremely fierce, and the casualties on both sides became heavier and heavier.

Seeing Li Cha wantonly slaughtering his own people, Killam was about to lead a surprise attack to kill this annoying enemy.

Before Killam could make a move, the Warcraft Cavalry Battalion led by Rand finally arrived for reinforcements.

The commander of the cavalry brigade, Morgan, was very decisive and immediately launched a fierce attack on the dragon vein kobold salient.

The four Dragon Vein Kobold Squadrons were just about to pursue the scorching ray strong soldiers when the Warcraft Cavalry Brigade had arrived.

The monster cavalry was very fast, and immediately dropped the alchemy bomb after approaching the kobold.

Continuous explosions were heard in the kobold army formation. This terrible explosion made the dragon-veined kobolds present extremely frightened and hated.

According to usual experience, the general orc army can't stop the charge of the monster cavalry at all.

However, the fighting power of the dragon-veined kobolds far exceeds that of ordinary orcs. Even though they were thrown two rounds of alchemical bombs by the Warcraft Cavalry and were attacked by four hundred iron horned horse magic missiles, the four flanking squadrons of dragon-veined kobolds still fought tenaciously.

The dragon vein kobolds are powerful, quick on their feet, and have high accuracy in throwing spears. Even if the army has collapsed, they still do not retreat and attack the enemy.

Even Morgan was stabbed in the stomach with a javelin by a Dragonborn kobold and almost fell off his horse and died in battle.

Although they won the battle this time and defeated the four dragon-veined kobold squadrons, the damage to the Warcraft Cavalry Brigade was not light at all.

Morgan glanced around and found that there were more than a hundred fallen Warcraft cavalry.

Since the formation of Harland's Warcraft Cavalry, it has not fought such a difficult war.

Morgan cut off the spear that stabbed his abdomen, and then applied hemostatic ointment to his wound. According to common sense, his injury should be operated on immediately.But on a cruel battlefield, effective treatment can only be obtained after the war is won. At this moment, even if his life is in danger, he can only hold on.

Being on the front line where the battle was fiercest, it was impossible for the wounded to retreat. Just when Morgan was a little desperate, Harland finally came to help.

A bright magical lightning struck from afar, and hit the Dragon Vein Kobold army in an instant. In the blink of an eye, three or four Dragon Vein Kobolds were killed by lightning, and then a bone-piercing ice cone fell from the sky, viciously nailing one of them to death. A third-order dragon vein kobold.

Immediately after the two magic spells, a large wave of arrow rain aimed at the dragon vein kobold army formation.

The reinforcements were the guard brigade led by Harland, and working with them was the Harland Mage Association. It was Sophia and Wendy who had just used long-range magic to kill the dragon-veined kobold.

This attack in the fog, Harland was not the only one who led the first brigade to launch an attack. The entire Garrison Fort defenders almost came out in full force, and even the Grizzly Army stationed behind the Fort was dispatched to launch an attack. onslaught.

It's just that the first brigade attacked too fast and too fiercely, and even attacked the orc camp in a short time.

As the Warcraft Cavalry and Guard Brigade arrived, the pressure on the First Brigade became lighter and lighter.

At the end of the battle, the dragon vein kobolds had suffered more than [-] casualties, and their will to fight had also dropped a bit.

Killam has a lot of combat experience and is not a stubborn person. He found that the failure of this battle was impossible to avoid, so he gave the order to retreat very decisively.

The legendary kobold launched a surprise attack with his own soldiers, rescued the besieged orcs, and then slowly retreated to the camp.

At this time, the sun had risen to mid-air, and Li Cha roughly estimated that it was nine o'clock in the morning.

Because the trebuchet troops were not ready yet, Li Cha did not plan to attack the fortified camp of the orcs.

Now that most of the fog has dissipated, this surprise attack has been a perfect success.

Because the battle was won and the battlefield was completely controlled, the field hospital in the Harland Territory also began to help the wounded with all its strength. Richard's cousin Morgan was a high-ranking commander, and the best doctor performed the operation on him immediately, and it was successful. Saved my life.

Morgan is already a fourth-order knight, and his physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people. His knight blood comes from the magical creature Dire Bear, and his vitality is also extremely strong.The combination of various factors allowed Morgan to survive smoothly, but this time the injury was relatively serious, and Morgan needed at least three months of recuperation to recover.

Hearing that Morgan was safe, Richard also let go of his worries.
