Alien Knights

The knights raised their shields and moved forward from the forest. Countless parasite limbs crawled out from the gaps in the armor, forming a series of insect armor comparable to steel in front of them.

Seeing this strange scene, the enemy soldiers were stunned for a short time and then began to shoot desperately at these insect shields with their muskets.

Along with the crisp impact sound, cracks of varying sizes began to appear on the outermost layer of the dragon bone armor, but the Tyrant's enhanced regeneration ability allowed these parasites to quickly repair their wounds.

Cumberland looked out through the holes in his helmet and ordered with his hive: "Group of three! Get close to the injured orcs on the ground and use the keel to cover the injured to evacuate the battlefield."

The knights quickly dispersed the formation, and three of them formed a team, each divided into tasks. Two of them were responsible for blocking the incoming bullets, while the other one began to look for the orcs who were still alive.

Randall followed the two knights and advanced to a location sixty meters away from the bunker. Behind a damaged wooden box, he found a dying orc.

Dozens of bullets entered the orc's body, and his body was soaked with blood.

Randall knelt down and examined the orc carefully.

To Randall's relief, the bullet broke the orc's ribs and penetrated his thigh, but did not damage the other's vital points-the head and heart.

Randall supported the orc's body with his arms, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and used the power of the keel to lift the orc's body, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, onto his back, and laboriously moved step by step toward the forest.

Ackerman, who was staying at the edge of the forest, assessed the situation on the battlefield and shouted to the Crusaders: "Tauren come forward! Responsible for picking up the knights and the wounded! The elves are outflanking from both sides to distract the enemy. !”

After giving these orders, Ackerman took off his supernatural compound longbow from behind, climbed to the treetop, and grazed the arrow against his palm, causing the arrow to ignite a light blue flame.

Then, he put the arrow on the bowstring and shot an arrow at the shooting hole of the bunker in the distance.

The arrow drew a perfect arc in the air and accurately penetrated into the twenty centimeter wide gap of the shooting hole, triggering an explosion at the gap.

Fires were everywhere and dust was flying.

Ackerman's attack caused heart-rending screams from the enemy behind the firing hole. A small number of the muskets in the bunker went silent in a short period of time.

The tauren Bulwer stepped on thick hooves and wore heavy armor, slowly advancing towards the knight who was slowly retreating.

After approaching Randall, Bulwer nodded, took the injured orc from the former's back, turned and walked towards the forest; the knights returned to the battlefield and continued to search for the next injured person.

Together with the elves, Barbara came to the flank of the battlefield, climbed up the dense trees in the forest, and used the cover of the terrain and obstacles to throw fire breath, freezing, sonic boom and other supernatural attacks at the enemy. position.

These supernatural attacks cannot harm the soldiers in the bunker, but they can raise dust and block sight, providing a more favorable situation for our rescue operations.

One injured orc after another was rescued from the battlefield; but on the other hand, the enemy's attacks became more and more fierce.

Under the cover of his adjutants, Cumberland used his binoculars to look at the enemy's camp in the distance, where there were crowds of people and a forest of guns.

"The enemy's reinforcements are coming." Cumberland put down his telescope and sighed: "It's time to retreat."

The adjutant said in surprise: "Sir, there are still some wounded soldiers on the battlefield."

Cumberland touched his chin and said, "If I guessed correctly, Heshmond must have sent troops to march behind us now. It won't be long before they can surround us. By then, It’s too late to leave.”

Patting the adjutant who looked depressed, Cumberland turned around and said, "Remember, our first priority here is not to save people."

"Not saving people? What is that?"

"Show attitude."

Five hours later, Cumberland returned to camp with his army.

Sitting on the seat in the commander's tent, the old knight listened to Ackerman's battle report with a calm expression on his face.

"This time, the orcs' aggressive combat behavior caused great losses to our army."

"The first is the loss of military strength. According to statistics, 62 orc soldiers were killed or missing in battle, plus 229 seriously injured people who were unable to fight for a short period of time. Together, they are almost one-half of the total orc strength."

"Then there was material loss. During this battle, we lost some combat supplies, including weapons and armor. But fortunately, we recovered all the keels. If these things fall into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous."

"The last thing is morale..." Ackerman glanced at Cumberland: "In the past, the Crusaders always thought that they were the servants of the gods, and they were nearly invincible when facing mortals. But this time …”

Cumberland stretched out his hand to stop Ackerman from speaking and said, "There is no need to say anything else. Let's summon all the shamans and commanders of the Holy Army."

"What are you calling them for?"

Cumberland pointed to a black dragon statue erected in the center of the camp and said calmly: "Your Majesty is waiting for our explanation."

Mentioning the Dragon God, beads of sweat formed on Ackerman's forehead: "You mean, he already knows everything?"

Cumberland shook his head and said, "How could you not know? Have you forgotten? Any creature that completes a soul link with His Majesty will automatically enter the Kingdom of Heaven after death."

Ackerman let out a long sigh and said frustratedly: "I understand, I will inform them now."

Soon, all the shamans and commanders of the Crusaders gathered in the camp.

Everyone already knew the causes and consequences of the failure of this battle, and almost everyone's face was filled with anxiety, panic and fear.

Cumberland walked up to the black dragon statue and said to everyone: "I think all of us owe His Majesty an explanation."

After saying this, Cumberland put his palm on the statue, and the next second, his consciousness was directly sucked into the soul space.

The giant dragon entrenched on the snowy peak squinted at everything at the foot of the mountain.

Cumberland's appearance seemed to be just as expected by the dragon, and did not cause him any surprise.

Cumberland hesitated to speak: "Your Majesty..."

Todd raised his head and said, "You don't have to say anything."

Raising the dragon claw, Todd pulled everyone in the camp into the soul space, staring at them with dark golden dragon eyes without saying a word.

Under the gaze of the giant dragon, everyone in the Crusaders knelt on the ground in fear, confessing their sins loudly.

Ignoring these people's words, Todd raised the dragon claw again, and another group of souls entered the space and stood in front of everyone.

When people took a closer look, they found that all these souls were orcs, the Crusaders soldiers who had just died in battle not long ago.

Todd waved his dragon wings, and a huge black vortex several kilometers long suddenly appeared in the sky, with a faint sound of thunder coming from inside.

"Come on, I'm going to take you somewhere."
