THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 123: THE WARRIOR FORMATION
The 1000 troops of the Wolf Cavalry continued to step forward towards Loth City, approaching, the faces of these troops looked extremely excited as if they could no longer wait to catch the humans as their food was very different from the worried face of their captain, Golder.
As they continued walking for almost 1 hour, the Golder representative seemed to see something ahead so he shouted "Captain, there is an enemy in front of us!".
Hearing his deputy's shout, Golder raised his head and discovered there were thousands of troops marching in an orderly manner in front of him.
Based on Golder's observations, there were about 1000 infantrymen in front of them and 1000 light cavalry troops behind the infantry.
If it was just a normal infantry force then Golder would definitely attack the enemy without hesitation, even though the enemy number was about 2 times that of them, but the army that Golder brought was the most elite army in the Orc Kingdom the Wolf Cavalry. Against normal troops, the Wolf Cavalry could defeat an enemy number that was 5 times that of them though.
But this troop in front of him was very strange, the 1000 infantrymen in front formed a box formation with troops carrying shields in the front row and spears behind it.
What was even more bizarre that the spear possessed by the enemy army was over 2 meters long, Golder had never seen a spear of that size.
"What do the enemy think? When their troops carried such a large spear, the movement of the troops would be slow because the spear was too heavy, this will make it easier for us to kill the enemy because they will not be able to escape in time" Golder thought in confusion.
Before Golder could understand the enemy's purpose, a young man about 15 years old was seen in the rearguard of the enemy's rearguard attracting his attention.
The young man who had black hair was wearing a silver iron armor that looked very strong, from the aura that the young man had then Golder knew that this man was most likely the noble leading this army.
The young man raised his hand while shouting "I, Baron Myro Aras has been given confidence by the Kingdom of Azeroth to guard the borders of the Cavalry Province from the attacks of the enemy kingdom. Lopen, start the formation! Don't let any enemy troops get through!".
Simultaneously with Myro's shout at the rear, a man standing at the very front of the infantry troops shouted "The whole Praetorian Guard, the Phalanx Formation".
After the man shouted, the infantry troops behind him started moving.
The Praetorian Guard who were in the front row began to raise their shields connected to each other with the shield of comrades beside him.
Then the spear force at the back also lifted the 2-meter-high spear through the top of the shield, they were ready to attack the approaching Wolf Cavalry troops.
Seeing that the enemy troops had already set up a strange formation that he had never seen before, Golder could only grit his teeth and then draw his sword "All of you, show the courage and strength of our Wolf Cavalry Force to the enemy, attack it!".
"Strike!", shouted the troops behind Golder who pulled their weapons without hesitation, they stepped forward towards the ranks of the Praetorian Guard Phalanx without hesitation.
"Falka, start firing it!", cried Myro who was in the rear row.
Falka who had led the Mongol Cavalry and raised his bow shouted "All the firing squad, show our prowess to the enemy, do not lose to the Praetorian Guard!".
"Well!", shouted the troops behind Falka while shooting arrows at their bows.
About 1000 arrows flew in the sky towards these thousands of Wolf Cavalry Troops.
Golder, who knew the arrow, shouted "Thank your shields!".
"But!".
Thousands of arrows collided with the enemy's shield, although there were several arrows that managed to pass through the shield and pierced the Orc army or the wolves they had, the arrow did not give too fatal injuries because the Orc had a body defense that was not inferior to armor though.
The 2nd wave of arrows was again fired, the Wolf Cavalry raised their shields again which reduced the number of casualties on their side.
During the 2 shootings by the Mongol Cavalry, only about 50 Wolf Cavalry fell or died.
Although not many died from the arrows, Golder who observed all of them was still very surprised. They were the most elite troops in the entire Orc-Goblin Kingdom, the equipment they used was also the best shield and weapon. But the enemy could still kill 50 of them with just an arrow, this made Golder a little incredulous.
After those 2 arrow shots, Golder finally led the Wolf Cavalry to collide against the enemy's Phalanx Formation.
"Shelf!".
Something shocking happened again before Golder's eyes, dozens of Wolf Cavalry troops were immediately stabbed by the enemy's long spear to death.
While the enemy did not suffer any injuries because the shield in the front row blocked them.
Several Wolf Cavalrymen were also pushed down from their wolves by the Praetorian Guard shield.
Myro who is in the rear row of course already know that their troops have collided with each other with enemy forces.
Therefore, Myro moved his horse to step forward with Ren following him "Falka, let the Mongol Cavalry change their weapons into swords and follow me! The Mongol cavalry would besiege enemies from the left and right sides!".
Falka quickly understood Myro's intentions, allowing the 500 Mongol Cavalry to follow Myro who attacked the enemy from the right while Falka led the other 500 to attack the enemy from the left side.
Now the Wolf Cavalry was surrounded and heavily injured.
They could not go any further because the Praetorian Guard stopped their steps forward using shields and spears.
As for Myro, Falka and the Mongol Cavalry continued to attack them on the left and right sides with swords.
Moreover, the Mongol Cavalry was a light cavalry famous for their agility, under the leadership of Myro and Falka the Mongol Cavalry inflicted fatal wounds to the Wolf Cavalry.
"Dash!".
Golder slashed the Praetorian Guard in front of him to death, but when Golder thought that he had managed to make a gap in the shield of the Praetorian Guard troops, he was killed, so the new soldier appeared in the position of the Praetorian Guard he killed while lifting his shield.
No matter how many enemies he killed, the enemy's Phalanx Formation wasn't destroyed at all.
"Get it!".
Hearing the cries from his left and right, Golder's face changed, he now realized that they had been surrounded from left and right by the enemy cavalry.
At first Golder thought that they could destroy the Praetorian Guard easily, then attack the enemy cavalry behind.
But who would have thought that the Phalanx Formation could stop them so that the Mongol Cavalry could also surround them from the left and right sides.
Seeing that his Wolf Cavalry continued to be killed quickly, Golder knew that he had to find a way to escape this siege, otherwise the Wolf Cavalry would have died here by the enemy forces.
