THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 118: THE WOLF CAVALRY
Lopen was completely shocked by Myro's words, however 70,000 troops was a very frightening number.
If it attacked the entire Kingdom of Azeroth, then these 70,000 troops were simply not enough. But, if it was only attacking the Northern Province, the number of these troops would be more than enough.
Lopen said curiously "What happened to the troops in the Northern Province? Especially Baron Aras, I heard that your father used to be at the border of the Northern Province and the Orc-Goblin Kingdom. Therefore, the territory of Baron Aras must have been the earliest territory to be attacked if the Orc-Goblin Kingdom invaded the Northern Province".
"Everything is as you think, Baron Aras has no power to hold 70,000 troops. The city of Aras lost with less than an hour after the attack, but according to the report given by Lana, the, Baron Aras managed to bring some important families and his elite bodyguards fled the city before Aras City fell due to the enemy's attack" Myro said with a smile "Situation has completely changed, who would have thought that this Orc-Goblin Kingdom would dare to mount a massive attack against Azeroth Kingdom? Are they planning to take this whole kingdom?".
Ren who was done thinking shook his head "It shouldn't be, 70,000 troops are still not enough to seize the entire Azeroth Kingdom. Based on Lana's information, the enemy force consisted of 40,000 goblin troops, 20,000 orc troops and 10,000 Wolf Cavalry troops. The Goblin army was the weakest because both in terms of physicality and strength, goblins were still weaker than humans".
"While the Orc army could definitely make the Northern Province army troublesome because Orcs had a height and strength greater than normal humans. Fortunately the Orcs and Goblins were not very intelligent, otherwise, they had most likely defeated the Northern Province. But the biggest problem was the Wolf Cavalry".
"Wolf Cavalry huh?", Myro murmured while thinking.
Since being in Loth City for almost 4 years, Myro has learned a lot about the Orc-Goblin Kingdom.
The most elite force in their kingdom was the Wolf Cavalry Force.
As the name implies, this army consisted of Orcs riding on wolves like horses.
The wolf they used was not a normal wolf, but a wolf that had a larger body size so that these Orcs could use it.
Different from cavalry who wear horses, cavalry who wear wolves have several advantages that the wolves they use can also attack the enemy. So 10,000 Wolf Cavalry could be said to be 20,000 troops consisting of wolves and orcs.
In the past, the Azeroth Kingdom had also tried to create a Wolf Cavalry. But they could not train the wolves that had been obtained, the technique of training the wolves as cavalry was only owned by the royal family and the generals of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, this made the other kingdoms unable to learn how to train the Wolf Cavalry.
Then, Orcs had extremely strong skin like armor making it very difficult to kill them. Fortunately the Orcs did not wear armor as it could greatly slow their movements, as long as the Orcs wore armor as well then they were not much different from walking fortresses.
"How did the people in the Northern Province respond? There is a northern border general who has about 100,000 troops, can't that stop this enemy army?", asked Lopen again.
Myro looked at Lopen before shaking his head "No one knows who will win or lose until the war is over. However, the border general of the Northern Province along with the military governor, the governor of the Northern Province and all the nobles there had already decided to join each other. Even Baron Aras was still leading the army, they were ready to withstand this Orc-Goblin Kingdom attack so as not to spread further in the Northern Province".
"Now, the combined forces of all the forces in the Northern Province have formed more than 150,000 troops. Despite being 2 times the number of the enemy troops, the main border general as the leader of the joint force still did not dare to underestimate this Orc-Goblin Kingdom attack. After all everyone knew how frightening the Wolf Cavalry was, especially when fighting in the snow. Horses get sick very easily in cold weather if not treated carefully, besides their speed and dexterity are greatly reduced in snowy terrain. But it did not happen to the wolves, therefore, the snow did not weaken these Wolf Cavalry at all".
Ren who was behind Myro said "But the northern border general is also not to be underestimated, he has an elite army called the snow infantry troops. This was the most elite infantry force in the entire Azeroth Kingdom if they were to fight in the snowy weather, they should be able to fight the Wolf Cavalry without any problems. The number of Snow Infantry was around 10,000 troops equivalent to the Wolf Cavalry, it seems that this time there will be a big fight there".
"Snow Infantry and Wolf Cavalry, I don't know who is stronger?", Myro said with interest "Tell Aclan who is in Rorec City to strengthen the guard during this time, The Orc-Goblin Kingdom dares to attack the Northern Province in a big way, I believe they will definitely attack the Cavalry Province as well. But in the Cavalry Province there are absolutely no border generals who have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, I'm sure they don't send a lot of troops here. Not to mention that they have already sent 70,000 troops to the Northern Province, they do not have many more troops to send to our Cavalry Province".
"Every city in the Orc-Goblin Kingdom should have soldiers guarding it, so the number of troops they can send to us should be at most around 10,000. Tell Aclan to prepare, lest Rorec City fall suddenly. In addition, all the cities in my territory will be at war ready, the inhabitants must reduce their time to walk and the soldiers must always be ready to fight at any time, tell Falka and Retya about my decision as well".
"Well, sir!", replied Ren and Lopen who were about to leave this room to perform the task given by Myro.
But the figure of Lana wearing a black robe to cover her identity suddenly appeared in front of the door of this room which stopped everyone, he said, Lana stood at the door saying respectfully and holding a letter in her hand "Master, I just received a letter from Aclan a few minutes ago. Since I felt that this letter was very important and that you should find out as soon as possible, I decided to come here directly".
