In the howling north wind, the heavy snowflakes dyed the world into a vast expanse of whiteness.
An army of trolls is struggling forward in the snow. The huge and bloated army formation stretches for more than ten kilometers. From a high altitude, it looks like a black python is swarming forward.
However, there are still tiny "ants" around this giant python.
These ants are the sentinels of the Black Cavalry.
They were inconspicuous compared to the huge troll army, as if the giant python could crush these ants to death by moving its body at will.
However, the one who was really nervous at this time was the giant python.
Prince Okamoto squinted his eyes and looked at the black cavalry sentries who looked like tarsus bones, his heart was full of anxiety and even fear.
He didn't know that the appearance of these black cavalry sentries were just the eyes that Colin habitually placed behind him, or that the main force of the black cavalry was nearby
If the original plan is carried out smoothly, the Black Cavalry Army should be on their way to the Troll King City by now, and he can also lead the "one hundred thousand army" going south to turn back and occupy the three military forts along the Snow Mountain Range , Completely cut off the retreat of the black cavalry.
But now, Prince Okamoto is a little uncertain.
Did Colin see through the trap
When he was anxious, Prince Okamoto released several groups of sentry cavalry in an attempt to check the surrounding situation.
But once these sentry cavalry were released, they were like mud cows entering the sea, never returning, completely silent.
This situation made Prince Okamoto, who didn't have much experience in leading an army, a little confused.
Only then did he know how much difference there was between a real march and a war and a war on paper.
The young Prince of the South of the troll empire couldn't help but have a thought for a moment—is he going to repeat his father's mistakes
In the paranoia of Prince Okamoto, two days passed quickly.
In the past two days, the sentries of the Black Cavalry Army surrounded the troll army like this. Once the trolls tried to attack, they immediately scattered away, but not long after, they reappeared like flies, and they couldn't be driven away. .
At the beginning, the troll soldiers were very nervous, but as time went by, they seemed to have gotten used to being surrounded by such a group of flies.
Anyway, these flies don't bite people, so just follow them.
But on the third day, the sentry cavalry of the black cavalry who had been looming along suddenly disappeared.
This made the trolls a little uncomfortable for a while.
The young Prince Okamoto did not immediately notice the danger coming.
But fortunately, there are still some troll generals with rich combat experience in this troll army. After they observed the abnormal signs of the sentry cavalry of the black cavalry, they immediately sent someone to report to Prince Okamoto to remind the opponent of the main force of the black cavalry. I'm afraid it's coming soon.
Only then did Prince Okamoto realize that something was wrong, and quickly ordered to gather the army to prepare for the enemy.
But this large and bloated army of trolls was hopelessly slow to respond.
No way, Prince Okamoto led a group of "suspicious soldiers", most of which were recruits recruited temporarily, and it was impossible to expect them to respond quickly on the battlefield.
However, the Black Knights will not give the troll time to react slowly.
When the snowflakes spread in the distance, the sound of horseshoes could be faintly heard.
The troll generals felt the tremor of the ground, and then they shouted hoarsely, asking the soldiers to raise their shields and spears to protect the periphery of the army.
It's a pity that this troll army composed of a large number of recruits still exposed many fatal weaknesses when they were about to fight. The array was uneven, and there was a lack of basic tacit understanding among the armies. Chaos began to spread from the flanks to the entire army like a plague. .
All of a sudden, all kinds of noisy and flustered voices gathered together, making it completely impossible for the troll army to enter the proper rhythm of war.
In fact, at this time, it was not the troll soldiers who panicked the most, but the commander of the troll army—Prince Okamoto.
The troll prince who used to think highly of himself, thinking that he could strategize and win thousands of miles on the battlefield, panicked at this moment.
What is calm and commanding in battle, all of them are far away from Prince Okamoto at this time, and the psychological preparations made before the battle are of no use at all.
Hearing all kinds of chaotic and noisy voices asking for orders in his ears made Prince Okamoto even more at a loss.
At this time, Prince Okamoto realized that he was not a qualified general at all, and the father whom he had always despised was probably much stronger than himself.
Of course, there is nothing surprising about this.
Prince Okamoto is indeed smart, and he is also handy in playing tricks and tricks, but these are not the necessary conditions for a decisive victory on the battlefield.
In short, the performance of the troll army in this sudden encounter was almost beyond words.
Fortunately, the troll still has an advantage in terms of military strength. Those recruits will not collapse all of a sudden when they look at their comrades who can't see the side at a glance.
The black cavalry came quickly, and with the thunderous sound of horseshoes, groups of black armored cavalry came on horseback.
But when it got close, it turned slightly and passed not far from the flanks of the troll army formation.
The buzzing of the bowstring immediately rang out, and the rain of arrows rushed towards the trolls like locusts all over the sky.
"Raise your shield! Don't move!"
"Archers ready! Spear throwers ready!"
One after another, the sounds kept ringing in the troll army, but they were quickly drowned out by the rumbling hooves of the horses.
Arrows fell like raindrops, and the sound of puffing into the flesh continued to resound immediately, and groups of troll soldiers fell to the ground, screaming continuously.
No rhetoric, no intrigue.
The Black Cavalry kicked off the war in the most direct and brutal way.
The wave-like attack hardly has any breaks.
Thousands of black cavalry troops lined up and galloped past the flanks of the troll army. Arrows continued to rise into the sky and turned into continuous spring rain, falling non-stop on the top of the trolls.
The troll also paid a very heavy price for the previous chaos, the shield was not raised in time, and the shield was not well covered.
The troll soldiers gathered together fell down one by one like a wheat field blown by a strong wind, and the wanton blood instantly stained the ground under their feet.
After thousands of black cavalry troops roared past, a clear bright red line was drawn on the flanks of the troll army. There were countless corpses lying there, and the wounded soldiers howled loudly. The shield was shivering on his head.
But that's just the beginning.
Once the prelude to the war begins, it will not stop easily.
This wave of attack by the Black Cavalry was still in the nature of harassment. After all, Colin was not sure whether the army of trolls who went south and returned were really suspicious soldiers.
But after the short and brutal first wave of confrontation, Colin is 80% sure that the last elite army of the Troll Empire is not here.
However, he was not in a hurry.
In his view, the fate of this bloated and weak army of trolls has long been sealed.
The only thing to pay attention to is how to eat the opponent with as few casualties as possible.
On the battlefield at this time, the black cavalry had already circled back, and once again used the unique method of cavalry to quickly pass by the flanks of the troll army, repeating everything before.
Such a scene is like a replay of the bloody battle on the ice field a year ago.
Prince Okamoto looked at the black cavalry who were cruising and massacring wantonly, thinking hard but couldn't find a way to break the situation. The continuous screams in his ears made Prince Okamoto even more upset.
To make matters worse, the eyes of his generals looking at him gradually became full of distrust...
So, the angry Prince Okamoto issued a stupid order.
