Throne of the North.

Chapter 34: Battle of the Extraordinary Legion (Part )

Viscount Landa was also panicked at this moment.

As a viscount and the prefect of Hanshan County, he had a total of 2,300 soldiers under his command. In addition, after the orcs moved south, many slaves were temporarily organized into soldiers. At one time, he had 10,000 soldiers under his command.

As the defense line was established, all the nobles in Hanshan County sent troops into the city. A baron or pioneer knight could mobilize four to five hundred soldiers. Although most of them were slaves, there were still 50,000 soldiers in the entire Hanshan City.

With an army of 50,000, Viscount Landa is confident that he can defend the city. As long as Hanshan City is safe, he has decided that no matter whether there are problems in other counties, he will never send troops out for reinforcements.

But now there are tens of thousands of Black Goat Army and thousands of Black Goat Cavalry. He doesn't know whether his city is still safe.

"Previous orc invasions only plundered the territories around the city. That should be fine, right?"

Some nobles expressed what Viscount Landa was thinking, which was something all the nobles feared.

They had been thinking about their own territory before, but now, they had abandoned their territory and started to wonder if they were safe in this city.

At that moment, many nobles wanted to escape, regardless of Hanshan County and the territory. As long as they could survive, their territory would still be theirs. If they died, they would not know who their territory would belong to.

"No, even if they are the Black Goat Men, they can't just attack the city like this. No matter how powerful the cavalry is, they can't run along the city wall."

Viscount Landa said confidently that he wanted to keep these nobles, otherwise the smaller the army, the more uneasy he would feel.

But he suddenly realized that as soon as he finished speaking, there was deathly silence around him.

He swallowed and looked at the native nobles of the North Wind Province.

"The Black Goat Man's cavalry can really climb walls." Some nobles said in despair, and they remembered the records and legends in history.

"The tribes of the Black Goat People are scattered on the steepest rocks in the North. The majestic black goats they breed all eat mosses on the cliffs, and they even eat antelopes that are similar to them."

Just as the noble finished speaking, the black goat army outside the city moved.

Looking at the madly charging army of Black Goat Men, Viscount Landa's eyes also revealed desperate fear.

……

In just three days, eighty percent of the territories in Hanshan County were overrun by orcs. This news reached the Frozen Territory on the eighth day.

The twenty Flying Wolf Cavalrymen sent to Hanshan County by Earl Winter were originally used to deliver messages, but in the end they became the last straw for Viscount Landa and his men.

The news of the Black Goat Cavalry spread throughout the entire North Wind Province.

"Legend has it that only the bravest orc warriors in the Black Goat Orc Tribe can be blessed by the god they worship, Baphomet, and thus gain great strength, and be able to control the majestic black goats and become warriors."

"For a tribe of a thousand people, it would be good if they could have thirty to fifty Black Goat Warriors."

"Ten thousand..."

Ryan is a little panicked now. Could it be that all the Black Goat Tribes in the North have been unified?
The infighting among orcs is much more primitive and barbaric, because many of them are related by the food chain.

For example, when the orcs marched south to invade the Borean Province, Ryan believed that the number of orc armies was 700,000 to 800,000, nearly one million.

However, as they travel south, the number of these orcs will drop sharply. For example, the lowest level of ratmen or honeypot tribes will often be eaten up along the way.

These orc tribes may become very powerful, but they all have a fatal flaw.

That is, in the background of year-round snow and wind, they did not have enough food, and without food, it was impossible for them to form a large tribe.

This is also what Ryan didn’t understand. How did the Black Goat People unite from various scattered tribes into a large tribe?

There is no point in exploring this now, because tens of thousands of Black Goat Man warriors have appeared in the Borean Province.

"Hey."

Ryan found that he was still not strong enough. In the entire North Wind Province, Ryan knew only two people who could deal with this army of Black Goat Warriors, and they were probably the only two.

One is the Flying Wolf Cavalry under the Governor of Borean Province, Earl Winter. This cavalry is composed entirely of giant-horned flying wolves with a pair of fleshy wings. Together with three thousand knights riding the flying wolves, it can be said that no one in the entire Borean Province is invincible.

Another one is the 5,000 dragonblood warriors from Count Sauron's family. Legend has it that the ancestor of every dragonblood warrior was bathed in the blood of dragons and became a special dragonblood warrior bloodline. They are all well-known heavy armored infantry throughout the empire.

According to ancient rumors in the Borean Province, the Sauron family even worshipped a giant dragon hundreds of years ago.

After so many years, the bloodline of the dragonblood warriors should have become increasingly thinner, but no matter what, this is an extraordinary legion.

If we don't rely on these two families, we will have to pay at least ten times the price to deal with the Black Goat Warriors.

And the most terrifying thing is not this. The Black Goat People are intelligent, and their army of warriors is definitely surrounded by a large number of Black Goat People on foot guarding them.

"In this case, Count Sauron was right. We should have taken the initiative to attack in Xiangshan Plain."

"Except for the huge city of Beifeng in Beifeng Province, I'm afraid that the remaining county cities can't stop the Black Goat People."

Just as Ryan thought, when tens of thousands of Black Goat Warriors appeared in the North Wind Province, and many nobles began to gradually learn about this extraordinary army, they all began to curse Viscount Hogg.

If they had listened to Count Sauron at the beginning, the extraordinary legions led by the two earls would have joined the battle, and with the addition of the military strength of the entire province, they might have been able to bury the Black Goat Man warriors in the Xiangshan Plain.

But is it still possible now?

Orcs have already appeared in various places in the Borean Province. How is it possible to gather troops now?

Wherever they gathered, another group of lords would have to give up all their wealth and territories.

"Governor Count Unter, please say something."

In North Wind City, Viscount Landa looked at Earl Winter angrily and slapped his hands on the table, leaving two big handprints.

He couldn't worry about offending Count Winter now.

Many people in his territory have escaped the orcs' pursuit and are now hiding in the fortresses of Hanshan County. Now only if Earl Winter dispatches the Flying Wolf Cavalry to eliminate the Black Goat Man's Warrior Legion can Hanshan County be recaptured.

"Viscount Landa, please be aware of your identity!"

Earl Winter looked at Viscount Landa coldly, but he also said that he would not sit idly by.

After all, he would be the one who would ultimately bear a great deal of responsibility for this matter. So many nobles were killed and injured, and the complaints from these people could pile up like a mountain in the Imperial Senate.

"I will send the Flying Wolf Cavalry to stop the Black Goat Warriors, and I will also send 50,000 soldiers to follow them."

"But now, Muir Solon, that old man, has not replied to me."

Count Winter's eyes were somewhat cruel.

"That old man is unwilling to let the Dragonblood Warrior Legion follow the Flying Wolf Cavalry for protection. How many of my soldiers will have to die before I can eliminate the Black Goat Warriors?"

Earl Winter roared in a low voice. He cared more about the loss of his own army than helping Viscount Landa and those nobles to regain their territory.

Viscount Landa looked at Earl Winter, and suddenly the Viscount calmed down.

Want to add money?
He understood what Count Winter meant. Among the nobles, everything was about interests, even if it was to drive out the Black Goat People and recover the empire's territory.

"I will persuade Earl Sauron to dispatch the Dragonblood Warrior Legion."

Viscount Landa gritted his teeth and said that he knew that Count Sauron was probably waiting there too, wanting these lords whose lives were threatened to offer enough benefits.
