Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1471 - Chapter 1471 Chapter 857 Smoke of Gunpowder under Dragons

Chapter 1471: Chapter 857: Smoke of Gunpowder under Dragon’s Lair (Part 2)_2 Chapter 1471: Chapter 857: Smoke of Gunpowder under Dragon’s Lair (Part 2)_2 At the corner of the magic cannon position, Ariel saw the opponent’s military array changing rapidly and couldn’t help but blurt out, “Everything is going just as you predicted! As long as they reduce the defense of their main formation, it will be easier to handle next!”

“It seems that the real climax is about to begin.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly, then withdrew all the magic cannons and, along with Ariel and the others, disappeared back into the darkness.

Since everything was going as planned, they had to give their opponents a taste of victory at the beginning to prevent them from making any more changes.

“Hahaha, the attack of the magic cannons has indeed stopped!”

The Half-Orc Leader laughed wildly upon seeing that his strategy had worked, clearly very satisfied.

In his joy, the Half-Orc Leader sent out three more legions, each guarding the left, rear, and right of the filled swamp areas to prevent unexpected events.

At this point, aside from the two ranged legions which continued besieging the city under the cover of the two melee legions, the Half-Orc Leader had no other reserve forces left, except for a small number of Imperial Guards.

However, the peace around the half-orc army didn’t last long.

Suddenly, the Archer Cavalry Legion reappeared on the right side of the half-orc formation, attacking the half-orc formations from both directions as a diversionary tactic.

“Dare to challenge both ends, archers and spearmen, flank with the Shaman and try to kill off this Archer Cavalry!”

The Half-Orc Leader waved his hand, and the three peripheral legions immediately began to encircle the Archer Cavalry along with the right legion.

Due to the deep penetration of the Archer Cavalry into the half-orc formation, they did suffer considerable losses.

The Archer Cavalry puppets were also unwilling to show weakness, starting a counterattack while retreating.

“Send all the forces forward for this leader!”

Seeing the successful deployment of his formation, the Half-Orc Leader was overjoyed and immediately ordered the four legions to press on completely, attempting to wipe out the Archer Cavalry puppet legion in one breath.

But at that moment, the earth-shattering sound of the magic cannons roared again from behind the formation.

“Back-line legions, press forward with half of the left legion’s force and attack the opponent’s magic cannon position together!”

The Half-Orc Leader made the same decision without hesitation, choosing the same approach as before.

Up until now, the six defensive half-orc legions had largely deviated from their original defensive positions.

“Cunning humans, you want to attack this leader from both sides. Let this leader deal with you on both fronts and wipe out all your forces!”

The Half-Orc Leader sneered, his muddy eyes narrowed slightly, closely watching the developments of the battles on the right and rear sides.

However, the next second, something unexpected happened to the Half-Orc Leader.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The urgent and heavy sound of dense hoofbeats suddenly rang out continuously from the left side of the Half-Orc formation.

Before the remaining half-orc soldiers on the left side could react,

one by one, the heavy-armored knights, like moving fortresses, broke through the dark night and came galloping with an overwhelming momentum.

Under the cold moonlight, the freezing cold lances shimmering with deadly light were particularly dazzling, turning the unprepared half-orc soldiers pale.

“Form up! Defend… ugh!”

Before the Half-Orc commander at the front of the formation could finish speaking, an ice-cold lance had already pierced through his chest, bringing out a shocking bright red color.

Afterward, more blood bloomed like red lotuses one after another amid the half-orc soldiers’ ranks, causing the pungent smell of blood to spread wildly across the battlefield.

Under the irresistible force of the lances and hooves, the horrified half-orc soldiers either had their bodies impaled by lances, were flung away, or trampled on the ground, face beyond recognition, without any chance to counterattack.

In the blink of an eye, the left flank was completely broken through by the sudden heavy cavalry charge, leaving only a sea of intertwined dead half-orc bodies.

Needless to say, this was Leo Ray’s real climactic move, the Loren Heavy Cavalry Legion summoned by Sarah Shawn’s [Divine Stone], Yoyo.

As for the Archer Cavalry’s collapse, it was merely a distraction.

And before the Archer Cavalry officially launched their attack, Leo Ray had already ordered Belinda Wright and the other Half-Elves to withdraw to avoid unnecessary losses.

As for this Heavy Cavalry Legion that served as the trump card, following Leo Ray’s command, they adopted a standard cone formation, only slightly compressing the formation when passing through the narrow entrance of the swamp.

At the same time, Leo Ray deployed all 30 Tier 3 Peak Ice Knights at the forefront of the formation.

By doing so, it undoubtedly brought the combat effectiveness of the Heavy Cavalry Legion to its utmost potential.

Leo Ray’s target for the attack was the two Half-Orc ranged corps that were still focused on besieging the city.

Only by successfully cutting off the iron pincers of the enemy could they greatly reduce the losses of Dragon’s Lair both inside and outside the city.

By then, the complete defeat of the enemy would no longer be far away.

“Another ten thousand-strong Heavy Cavalry?! That cunning bastard!”

Looking at the mighty Loren Heavy Cavalry, the bloodshot eyes of the Half-Orc Leader seemed to pop out.

He never expected that the inconsequential and small Human Clan could summon two legion-scale cavalry forces simultaneously!

For a moment, extreme shock and extreme anger distorted the coarse face of the Half-Orc Leader. He roared at the commander to recall the pursuing legions to defend.

Just as the Half-Orc Leader was helplessly raging,

the Heavy Cavalry Legion led by Leo Ray had already re-expanded the formation and was charging straight towards the two ranged corps.

Because everything happened too suddenly,

when the two focused ranged corps at the very front, along with the two infantry corps responsible for defense, finally reacted to the earth-shaking murderous intent and turned their heads to check,

sharp lances were already pointed at their noses.

Heart-wrenching screams mixed with the galloping of horses immediately echoed wildly below the city.

Meanwhile, having received Leo Ray’s orders, Roscoe temporarily stopped attacking the city and began to rest and reorganize its defense.

One could see the Loren Heavy Cavalry in black armor and the crystal clear Ice Knights, like a surge of iron flowing, swiftly crushing the disorganized four Half-Orc Corps that had already suffered heavy losses.

Especially the two defenseless ranged corps, already exhausted with no room to fight back, could only let the whooshing knights pass by, leaving them chilled to the bone.

The two infantry corps, on the other hand, quickly responded and began to form a counterattack after their initial panic.

However, as the Loren Heavy Cavalry already had considerable defense, and the Ice Knights were almost impervious to swords and spears, plus the two infantry corps were not the targets of their attack,

their effectiveness was undoubtedly very limited.

“Damn it! I, the Leader, will personally deal with these despicable puppets!”

After giving the orders, the Half-Orc Leader swung his giant war hammer without hesitation and dashed towards the city at an explosive speed.

But before he could take a few steps, a burly figure wielding a sword forcibly intercepted him. It was none other than Taylor who had been waiting here all along.

“You again! This time, the Leader must smash you into mud!”

The Half-Orc Leader roared angrily, carrying endless murderous intent, and launched a fierce attack on Taylor.

However, just after a few rounds of intense fighting between both sides, another slender figure with an overwhelming aura emerged out of thin air behind the Half-Orc Leader; it was Jasper Richardson, who had just dealt with all the Half-Orc Imperial Guards.

Seeing this scene, Leo Ray, who was hidden under the Invisibility Cloak, nodded in satisfaction.

At this stage, the pursuing legions had not yet returned, undoubtedly making this the best opportunity to kill the Half-Orc Leader.

As long as he was successfully eliminated, everything would naturally fall into place.

However, just as Jasper Richardson was silently preparing his spell and Leo Ray thought the situation was under control,

another imposing black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, blocking the path between the Half-Orc Leader and Jasper Richardson.
