THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 142: THE BATTLE IN THE SNOW
Myro's army marched quickly towards the combined forces of 3 cities, as Myro had often brought his troops to war so their movements were very fast and orderly.
Even the soldiers that Retya had trained just now looked more elite than before, after all they had already gone through several wars in Rorec City and attacked Folk City which made them not like novice warriors anymore.
In Folk City, Myro let Aclan keep the defense there.
But Aclan had to become Rorec City, so he sent his deputy Fred along with 200 knights and 500 new soldiers, according to Aclan this number was enough to hold off the enemies who attacked Folk City.
Folk City is now very important for Myro, if Folk City falls then it will lose its way back to Cavalry Province.
When it lost its way back, it meant that Myro would be surrounded by enemies from all directions. No matter how intelligent and powerful Myro and his army were, when they were already completely surrounded by the enemy, there was no longer any way for them to win.
If that circumstance were to really happen, Myro's army would definitely receive a huge loss.
Traveling for half a day, Myro was finally able to see 6,000 combined forces of 3 cities.
They have been living here since a few days ago, therefore they have formed a small defense camp such as making some traps around or wooden fences.
Falka who was beside Myro looked towards the sky before suggesting "Master, the day is getting closer from night, it is not suitable for us to attack the enemy today. I suggest we rest first today, then fight tomorrow".
Ren who was on the other side nodded, he agreed to Falka's idea.
Myro certainly agreed with the idea of his 2 followers, but Myro still had to ask his colleagues first as a form of polite attitude "Master Loir, what do you think?".
Loir shook his head with a smile, he knew Myro was just being polite to him. No matter what Loir answered, Myro must have decided to have their troops rest today.
"As my grandfather said, I just need to help Baron Myro here and learn about all the Barons' actions. For this reason, I have absolutely no objection to your plans. Here I just follow Baron Myro's plan" Loir said with a polite smile.
Myro smiled, it was very easy to talk to people who were also smart. Fortunately the Northern Border General's granddaughter was not an arrogant fool due to her great background, if such a person was sent then it only brought more trouble for Myro than help.
"Then, we will rest here and build a camp, tomorrow morning is the time to attack!", Myro decided.
...----------------...
The entire night was very silent, neither Myro nor the enemy camp in front of him made any moves at all.
More precisely Myro let his troops rest while the enemy troops were afraid to attack Myro.
Moreover Myro could defeat 10,000 Orc-Goblin Kingdom troops of which there were 1000 Wolf Cavalry, not to mention the Myro army now about 2 times that of them.
The enemy troops knew that they could not win, but they could not escape either.
As soldiers, they had to protect the city that was behind them.
Moreover, their families were in the city as well, as long as they retreated then their families would not end well.
On the morning before sunrise, Myro's army began marching.
The enemy who saw it all knew the war was about to start, so they hid behind a wooden fence they made while holding weapons and wearing iron armor.
Gladius was in the front row with the Roman Legion, and 2000 Retya troops were behind them in order to provide support at any time.
On the left side there are 500 Mongol Cavalry led by Falka while 500 other Mongol Cavalry on the right side with Retya leading.
The Praetorian Guard remained behind with Ren, they were guarding Myro who was in the middle of the Praetorian Guard formation.
Seeing the sun start to rise, Myro shouted "The whole army is attacking! Show us the greatness of our Azeroth Kingdom!".
Although the snow had fallen since last night until now without stopping, it did not reduce the spirit of the soldiers.
The Roman Legion did not advance, but the prisoners.
After the prisoners advanced, the Roman Legion and others soon followed.
"Strike!", cried the soldiers excitedly.
Even the prisoners who were in the front row and took the most risks did not dissipate their spirits, as Myro gave them enough food so that they would not mind fighting for Myro as well.
"Shoot your arrows!", cried the Orc leader on the enemy's side.
The goblin archers in the rear of the enemy camp started firing, but the Mongol cavalry pulled their bows and shields and fired.
Arrows filled the entire sky, the prisoners raised their shields that Torn had already prepared. Although Myro could only prepare 100 Orc armor, there was no problem for the shield.
However, Torn has been working for Myro for about 4 years, there are a lot of weapons or shields.
As for Orc armor, the Orc's body size was too large that it could not wear Torn's man-made armor. Therefore, Torn had to make a special armor for the Orcs.
At least the Goblins can still wear human armor made by Torn, the size of goblins is a little small but not much different from humans.
"Shelf!".
The sound of arrows crashing into the shield rang out, there were some arrows that escaped from the shield but they only pierced the non-fatal parts of the Orcs which made the Orcs able to continue advancing.
The Roman legions that were behind were so much better, they protected these Orcs that most of the arrows did not hit them.
Arrow shots continued to be heard, Myro troops could hold it well while the enemy troops continued to be injured by the Mongol Cavalry arrows.
Each person of the Mongol Cavalry was an expert and equipped with Dwarf-made arrows, compared to enemy troops who do not have complete weapons because they were once only city guard soldiers and residents who had to fight due to Myro's sudden attack.
So the arrows from the Mongol Cavalry really did inflict a fatal wound for them.
When 3 rounds of arrow shots passed, finally the Myro Orc army was very close to the enemy camp.
The Mongol cavalry replaced their arrows into swords, it was time for melee combat.
As enemy forces prepared to withstand the collision of Orc Myro forces using wooden fences, something shocking happened.
"Get it!".
Thousands of troops emerged from the left side of their camp where the guard was weakened, after all they were busy fighting Myro's troops who attacked from the front and forgot to guard the other side.
From the left side, thousands of troops wearing white clothes rushed forward. As a result of their white clothes, these troops were hard to see among the snow that made the enemy troops unaware of them from earlier.
Before the enemy troops could prepare, these white-clothed soldiers jumped over the wooden fence on the left side and began attacking their camp.
The movements of these white-clothed troops were extremely fast, every time their spears moved then an enemy troop would definitely die.
This white-clothed army was none other than the Snow Infantry who was very skilled and fast especially if it was a battle in a snowy area.
