Lord Harland

Chapter 14 Baron Harden
Diarra, Richard, Brown and other professional officers led the veterans, holding a huge racket, and together they pushed the snake-body man off the top of the wall.

Just after three successful attempts, the snake figured out a way to deal with it.

A snake-body man pulled back hard, and even dragged Brown and two veterans off the city wall.

Just as the three of Brown stood up, they were surrounded by orcs in all directions, and their bodies were torn apart in the blink of an eye.

The time spent together is short and the relationship is average.

But in a state of war, friendship not only comes quickly, but also feels extraordinary.If Brown hadn't taken the initiative to step forward just now, it would have been Li Cha who directed the soldiers to push the racket.

Brown died in the city, but Li Cha was still alive. The reason is that Li Cha had better luck than Brown.

Faced with the tragic death of his comrade-in-arms, Li Cha couldn't remain indifferent. He lost his composure in an instant, and his eyes turned red.

Li Cha took two steps back, snatched the enchanted long sword in Ron's hand, and rushed towards the snake man.

The snake-body man fought with a dozen soldiers, with his back to Li Cha.Faced with Li Cha's fierce sword, he didn't notice it at all.

The battlefield was very chaotic, with swords, guns, swords and halberds coming from all directions.

The snake-body man had just killed three soldiers, when Li Cha's fierce sword struck from the side and back, pierced fiercely into the snake-body man's heart, and then ruthlessly pushed the snake-body man off the city wall.

After killing the third-order snake-body man, the experience increased by two thousand at once.

When the battle is at its most critical, it is very urgent and intense, and it cannot be relaxed for a second.Li Cha can only wait for the end of the war to add killing experience.

Although the fighting time was relatively short, in the face of the overwhelmingly superior orc army, the Sixth Squadron had suffered more than one-third of the casualties.

The deputy squadron leader Brown fell down the city wall and died in battle. The nine squadron leaders were also killed, two were injured and three were wounded. Half of the veterans suffered heavy casualties.

The brutal battle made most of the soldiers' legs weak, and it seemed that the Sixth Squadron was about to collapse.

A long horn sounded from a distance, and the reinforcements from the rear finally arrived.

Leading the reinforcements is the deputy captain Sally, who is also at the fourth level just like Roland.

The reinforcements were more than two squadrons. With the help of this fresh force, the orc attack was finally repelled without any risk.

Just as the orc army was driven off the city wall, an elite cavalry rushed out of the canyon, breaking up the orc formation in one fell swoop.

The officer commanding this cavalry was Baron Harden, the supreme commander of the Platos defense line.

Baron Harden rode a Tier [-] wild boar monster and easily broke into the orc army formation. None of the orc warriors passing along the way could stop him for a moment.

In a short period of time, more than six orcs died at his hands, including a third-rank orc officer.

After being charged by the cavalry, the formation of the orc army was completely disintegrated.

Baron Harden led his knights and followed the orcs unhurriedly, killing the single orcs.

The orcs suffered more and more casualties, lost their organizational system, and soon the casualties exceeded half.They ran desperately, bypassing the main road and fleeing into the jungle in a panic.

Just as the knights were about to dismount and chase after them, Baron Harden raised his left hand and said, "The situation in the forest is unknown, maybe the orcs have ambushes, don't chase them!"

The cavalry gathered and handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to the infantry.

He won the first battle, but Li Cha felt no joy in his heart.

The comrades-in-arms who get along with each other on a daily basis have suffered a lot of casualties, and many familiar faces will no longer be seen in the future.

Remnants of limbs and broken arms were scattered on the top of the city, and a strong smell of blood wafted around.

Li Cha suppressed the mixed feelings in his heart, and led the soldiers to clean the battlefield.

The captive orcs are gathered together, and the living orc captives are more valuable than the dead heads.

For example, beheading a snake body can only get three minor merits, and capturing a healthy snake body can exchange for one medium meritorious service.

More than 20 orc captives, the combined merits are already very impressive.

Of course, not all of these feats belonged to the Sixth Squadron. Four and a half squadrons of the Eighth Battalion participated in the battle.

Two and a half squadrons defend the city, and two squadrons increase their personnel.

It was the Barons' Cavalry that played a decisive role.

Everyone will share some of the merits of this battle.

When the war was over, Lord Harden once again summoned all the officers.

In addition to the knights under the baron's command and the officers of the Eighth Battalion, there are also officers above the squadron of the City Defense Army.

"Have the casualties been counted?"

Baron Harden turned his head and asked his adjutant.

"Three people from the cavalry regiment fell, two of them were killed in battle, and one was seriously injured. One of the dead was a second-level soldier, and the other was a senior apprentice. The seriously injured one was Knight Richard."

"How is Richard?"

"At least three months of recuperation."

Richard is the nephew of Baron Harden, a third-tier knight, and his combat effectiveness can be compared with Roland's.

When the cavalry attacked the orc formation, Richard was besieged by four snake-bodied men.He fell off the Warcraft horse and was pinned down by his armored horse, almost dying on the battlefield.

In the midst of war, even mid-level professionals are actually very vulnerable.The fourth-rank tauren on the orc side was not spared from this battle.

Baron Harden nodded, turned his head and asked Sharp, "How is the Eighth Battalion?"

Captain Sharp Walra stood up and said: "Only the sixth squadron suffered heavy casualties, and the other four squadrons did not affect their combat effectiveness."

As soon as the words fell, Baron Harden was a little unhappy, and said loudly: "I want detailed casualties."

Although the baron didn't say anything too harsh, it still made Captain Sharp sweat profusely.

He quickly summed up the situation of each squadron, stood up for the second time, and said solemnly: "The sixth squadron suffered the most serious casualties, with 21 people killed in battle. Nine people were seriously injured and 26 people were slightly injured. The cumulative casualties were 56 people. , more than half."

"The sixth squadron is a new squadron?"

Baron Harden reacted very quickly. After hearing the casualty figures, he immediately understood that the Sixth Squadron was not fully staffed.

The deputy captain, Sally Darren, stood up and replied: "The Sixth Squadron only took nine months to form, but we removed more than a dozen key veterans and shortened the time to become an army. It can't be regarded as a rookie squadron. A main squadron is worse."

"What about the officer casualties?"

"Deputy Squadron Leader Brown was killed, Deputy Squadron Leader Li Cha, Military Judge Owen was slightly injured."

Baron Harden nodded and said, "Drop the best soldiers from the City Defense Force to supplement the Sixth Squadron. What about the other squadrons?"

"Six people from the third squadron were killed and 17 people were slightly or seriously injured. The soldiers stationed at Fort No. [-] were attacked by the harpies. Three people were killed and four were seriously injured. There were no minor injuries.

The reinforced No. 19 Squadron killed seven people and injured [-] people.The Fifth Squadron killed two people and injured five others. "

"The total number of people in your brigade does not exceed 1000?"

"Counting the squadrons directly under the brigade headquarters, we have formed seven and a half squadrons, plus the recent addition of half a squadron of recruits, the total number is 965. The main reason is that several old squadrons are not full, and there are some shortages."

"As for the results of the battle, have you counted them?"

"In this battle, one orc was killed in 620, and 23 were captured. Seventeen orc professionals were beheaded, including one fourth-level tauren, five third-level snake-body men, and two third-level harpy men. The second-level dog-headed One human, four first-tier kobolds, two first-tier goats, one second-tier werewolf. The rest of the orcs are low-level miscellaneous soldiers.

Of the 23 captured orcs, one of them was a third-tier snake-body man. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured, and it was unknown if he would survive. "
