Chapter 1956 - They Are Very SlyChapter 1956: They Are Very Sly
The fireball, with its blazing tail trailing behind, and sharp arrows laced with poison rained down on the flying steeds that were diving down towards them less than 100 meters away.
“Charge!!!”
Barlo pulled out his longsword. When he saw the rain of arrows, his heart died a little inside. However, retreating would only make them the targets for the opponent. Besides, the glory and honor of the empire’s knight made him unable to do something like that.
“Charge!”
The knights all pulled out their swords as they howled angrily.
Bam!
The fireballs hit the metal eagles, leaving bloody holes in them. Even the knights on their backs were thrown off, splatting onto the ground.
Pop, pop, pop!
The poisoned arrows plunged into the eyes and bodies of the steel eagles. Hundreds of large steel eagles became the best targets in the vast sky.
In the blink of an eye, the imposing wave of army dropped from the sky.
Screams!
Wails!
The skies of the Uto Tribe rang with shouts.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this moment, Barlo died inside a little more. It was just the first round of diving attacks, but their team had decreased by two-thirds because of the opponent’s unexpected attack.
The knights who lost their rides fell from the sky. Before they could even react, they were already chopped into pieces by a swarm of orcs with waving knives.
“Break up their formation!” Barlo howled angrily as he led the remaining 100 flying knights diving towards the orcs.
They were 30 meters away. It would take the steel eagles barely a breath to cover that distance. Barlo wanted the entire tribe slaughtered as offerings for his brothers.
“Javelin team!”
After a round of arrow shooting, Haga let out a loud cry as another volley of arrows was unleashed.
Hundreds of strong orcs with five-meter-long javelins appeared behind the archers. The sharp points of the javelins were tilted at 45 degrees toward the sky as they welcomed the flying unit after the first round of metal eagles fell from the sky.
“Be careful!”
Barlo was in shock when he saw the patch of javelins appear at the city wall all of a sudden. He quickly shouted a warning, and pulled on the reins of his steel eagle to change its course.
However, not everyone could react as quickly as Barlo.
The steel eagles could not evade in time, and dove headfirst into the javelins.
The five-meter-long javelins pierced through the steel eagles’ bodies, turning the knights on their backs into skewers. Fresh blood splattered onto the city walls majestically.
“Retreat! Retreat!” Barlo shouted frantically as he tried to maneuver his steel eagle up into the sky.
This was the first fearsome level of resistance that they had encountered in their battles today. The opponent seemed to know their battle tactics, and was able to employ highly effective and intimidating methods to cause them the greatest harm.
Although Barlo was a 7th-tier knight, he only had around 20 to 30 men left with him. On top of that, the opponents had highly skilled orcs. Retreating was his only choice, and was also his best choice.
Hundreds of steel eagles had flocked over furiously, but in the blink of an eye, there were only tens of them left scurrying for their lives.
“Release!”
However, just then, the second round of shooting started from the orcs.
Hundreds of archers aimed at the remaining 20-30 steel eagles, leaving only three flying haphazardly towards the valley with arrows in them.
The cavalry that rushed out from the valley happened to see the metal eagles in their diving attack at the orcs halfway up the mountain. Before the scenario they expected happened, the steel eagles started falling from the sky. After that, some of them were pinned to the city wall for no reason, and of the last few that fled, only three managed to escape the raining arrows.
“What’s going on?” The cavalry watched in disbelief.
When they were attacking the other orc tribes, no matter how large the tribes were, the steel eagles were still able to cause maximum damage and spread chaos among defenders.
“We’ve won!” Habeng shouted excitedly with his fists held high.
The orcs all cheered.
This was a war destined to stop at the Uto Tribe.
“Clear up the battlefield and drag the steel eagles on the city wall into the settlement. They will serve as fantastic food.” Haga put his bow down. He was still calm, and was not basking in pride because of the victory under his command.
“This is just the Roth Empire’s first troop, and it is only one of their first troops. We will be dealt with an even stronger attack! The enemy is large in number. I need everyone to stand out to protect our homes and fight for our families!” Haga shouted as he raised his fist to the sky.
“Fight! Fight! Fight!!!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe orcs held their fists and shouted along.
The cavalry, around 30,000 in number, rode through the valley, and charged straight for the Uto Tribe’s settlement.
One entire steel eagle troop was almost completely wiped out. This was immense humiliation to the soldiers of the Roth Empire.
They wanted to make this tiny tribe that was only a dot on the map vanish forever, just like the previous tribes.
The catapults were loaded again, and the archers tightened their grip on their bows as they stood at the city wall, watching the Roth Empire’s cavalry approach.
The javelin teams placed the javelins aside for a while as they took their positions in front of a pile of giant rocks.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the city wall, other orcs were already getting ready to support the battle, including passing the giant rocks at the bottom of the city wall up and filling in for those who fell during the close quarters engagement after the enemy broke through the defense of the wall…

“Barlo, what’s going on?” a middle-aged general dressed in full armor asked Barlo, who looked very pale, and was receiving medical treatment for the arrow in his shoulder.
Charlie was a lieutenant general with the allied forces. He had a rich experience, and was also a very strong 9th-tier knight.
This time, the military suddenly gave orders to attack the orcs, so he led an army of 30,000 troops with the goal of fighting their way through the entire Twilight Forest, and splitting it apart.
The order for dealing with the orc tribes that had fallen was to slaughter everyone.
The orcs weren’t actually weak, but that was only if they united and had all their elite powerhouses gathered beforehand to form a strong army of orcs.
When the individual orc tribes were in battle, they could not withstand a single blow from the Roth Empire’s cavalry, which was well-trained and numerous.
However, this little tribe’s settlement built halfway up the mountain actually managed to defeat the steel eagle troops. That was equivalent to defeating their strength in the air. Therefore, Charlie had to find out what happened.
“Sir, they are very crafty. We were ambushed. They came prepared. That’s why we’ve suffered heavy losses.” Barlo looked at Charlie with grievance as tears started welling up in his eyes..
