On the ice field of the sky, an army of trolls has left Windhowl Castle and is heading south.
Okamoto was dressed in gorgeous armor, covered with a black cloak, riding on a vigorous white wolf with his head held high, looking quite heroic.
This young but resourceful and courageous troll emperor still holds a very high status in the hearts of the soldiers.
Moreover, Okamoto's confident appearance greatly infected the troll soldiers and gave them more confidence in this expedition to the northern border.
But in reality, Okamoto is not as confident as he appears on the surface.
He knew very well that the army he led looked decent, but in fact it was made up of the last bits and pieces of the troll empire, and its combat effectiveness was really worrying.
Moreover, after several disastrous defeats in the past, the Troll Empire's domestic economy has reached the brink of collapse. This expedition was launched forcibly under the circumstances that the logistics could not be guaranteed.
The quartermaster once confessed to Okamoto in secret that the food and grass prepared this time was simply not enough to support the army to reach the northern border smoothly, so it was necessary to manage and control it from the beginning, and even "reduce staff" appropriately to reduce the speed of food and grass consumption...
So along the way, a lot of "tails" have been left behind the army of trolls.
Those soldiers who could not keep up with the main force were all cruelly abandoned.
As for how detrimental this would be to the morale of the army, Okamoto no longer wanted to think about it.
This expedition is an all-or-nothing military adventure for the troll empire, no matter how high the price is, it is imperative.
In addition, Okamoto doesn't know what's going on on the other side of the holy mountain.
Paladin Prince Otto and White Wolf Witch King Squinn risked their lives to assassinate Colin Angelet. Was it successful
How much combat power does the Blood Cavalry Army have left
However, Okamoto is quite confident about this carefully planned assassination.
As long as Colin died and the blood cavalry army suffered heavy losses, the threat to the troll empire from the north would be greatly weakened.
In addition, the main force of the northern border has been transferred to the western border to deal with the orc invasion. At this time, as long as the trolls can go south smoothly, they will be invincible!
After some self-comfort, Okamoto's waist straightened even more.
"Your Majesty, according to the latest statistics, a total of 125 soldiers were left behind yesterday..."
Prince Abbas leaned over to Okamoto and reported in a low voice.
Okamoto nodded expressionlessly, indicating that he knew.
Now that the army had left Windhowl Castle, they were also far away from the troll settlements. Therefore, even if those soldiers left behind, they still couldn't escape the fate of being starved to death and freezing to death.
In fact, this harsh march is also a process of natural selection. By weeding out those soldiers who can't keep up with the team, this army, which is not considered elite, can achieve the effect of "removing the chaff and saving the chaff".
I just don't know how many hundred thousand troops will be left when they reach the northern border...
Seeing that Okamoto didn't pay attention to him, Prince Abbas felt a little depressed.
In fact, after Modo II was killed by Colin, the most promising person to succeed the throne of the troll empire should be Prince Abbas.
But I didn't expect the White Wolf Witch King to support Okamoto, which made Prince Abbas miss the throne.
It is certainly impossible to say that Prince Abbas has no complaints about this.
It's just that he also knows that the troll empire can't stand internal friction at all, so he won't do anything stupid.
Of course, Prince Abbas still had a thorn in his heart. Seeing Okamoto's indifferent attitude, he also felt a little bored, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the former army to see the situation.
Of course Okamoto would not stop him. In fact, he has always been jealous of Prince Abbas, but he deliberately concealed this thought under the pressure of the northern border.
It can be said that the rare unity within the troll empire is entirely the result of the enormous pressure from the northern border.
However, Prince Abbas just came to the front army on a white wolf, and saw the former army commander Ubam said solemnly:
"His Royal Highness, the scouts haven't sent back any news for a long time. I'm afraid something is wrong."
Prince Abbas frowned and said, "Did you send another group of scouts out to investigate the situation?"
Ubam suddenly had a bitter face, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, I don't have scouts anymore..."
Prince Abbas also woke up.
Scouts can be said to be one of the most elite units in an army, and it is impossible to be competent without sufficient experience and ability.
Given the current predicament of the troll empire, there are not many experienced and powerful wolf cavalry as scouts. Therefore, even if Ubam wants to send people to investigate again, he can't send troops at all.
Prince Abbas pondered for a moment, but decided to act cautiously, and said:
"Collect the front army, slow down, let's wait for the large army behind."
"yes!"
Ubam secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily issued a military order.
The speed of the front army suddenly slowed down, and gradually began to move closer to the central army.
It didn't take long for the former army's change to be discovered by the Chinese army, and Okamoto sent an envoy to ask what was going on.
Prince Abbas had just explained a few words to the envoy, when Ubam shouted in horror:
"Your Highness, Your Highness! There are cavalry, and a large number of cavalry have appeared in our south!"
Prince Abbas hurriedly looked in the direction Ubam pointed, and saw a thin black line suddenly appearing on the horizon to the south of the army.
In the blink of an eye, this thin line spread rapidly and turned into a raging black tide, sweeping toward the direction where he was.
Feeling the tremor of the earth, Prince Abbas's heart sank.
"Blood Cavalry! It's the Blood Cavalry!"
There were already many soldiers shouting in horror.
That's right, such a majestic force can only be the cavalry that can make all the trolls fearful!
Why
Why did the Blood Cavalry appear here
Did the assassination of the Paladin Prince Otto and the White Wolf Witch King fail
This question lingered in the hearts of the troll soldiers, making them panic and at a loss.
"Array! Meet the enemy!"
It wasn't until Prince Abbas let out a shrill roar that the trolls woke up like a dream, and hurriedly arranged their formations, preparing to meet the enemy.
But in fact, they were not prepared to deal with the Blood Cavalry Army at all.
The best formation for infantry against cavalry is a strong shield and long spears.
But such excellent equipment and well-trained soldiers have already been completely lost in the previous fiascos. Now this army of trolls, let alone the blood cavalry army, can be easily pierced by ordinary regular troops in the north. their positions.
But at this moment, they have no choice.
The fate of running away will only be worse, and now the troll can only fight to the death.
Prince Abbas stared at the cavalry rushing ahead, roared, and said:
"Warriors, the God of War is watching you!
kill-"
