Clips…

The sound of heavy cavalry resounded as if they were moving a tank. The atmosphere condensed as they entered the battlefield.

The heavy cavalry took about 10 seconds to cross a distance of 300 meters, so even a powerful grunt would not be able to stop their attacks. In the end, Orcs were powerful beings of flesh and blood while heavy cavalry could even kill armored infantry warriors.

At the same time as the attack, a snarl suddenly moved to the side as two strangely shaped machines were pushed out.

Each engine appears to have two giant wings. However, these were not wings of feathers but of iron. The wings unfolded fully; there was a cold crescent-shaped blade in the middle of each of them.

Marcus felt an abnormal feeling as he looked at the machine like a bird.

As the heavy cavalry was about 150 steps away from the Orcs, two blades flew out from the Glaive Thrower. They were like huge silver plates, and each had a diameter of two meters. They whistled as they flew towards the cavalry.

They're very fast. In the blink of an eye, both blades reached the heavy cavalry. Puchi~ Puchi~ Sound echoing.

The horses moved forward but their feet were left on the ground where they stood. The blade was extremely sharp and was able to cut the legs of dozens of horses. It was the power of the Glaive Throwers.

It was a very surprising situation because the armor not only protected the knights, the horses also wore armor. The horses have a hard protective guard even on the legs so they are not easily injured by enemies on the battlefield.

Only the calves of the horses were not covered with armor, but due to the high-speed movement of the cavalry arrows and other long-range weapons it would be difficult to hit their calves; doing so was extremely unlikely. The upper body of the horses was covered in heavy armor, making it extremely difficult to be penetrated by long-range attacks in the current world era.

This was also the reason why heavy cavalry could go berserk, rampaging on the battlefield. However, the Glaive Thrower displayed its prowess on this battlefield.

"What's that?" Even a blind person will be able to see the impact of the machine, let alone Marcus and the other bandits— whose eyeballs almost pop out of their sockets.

Suddenly a few rows of horses hit the ground.

The bandits were shocked. If a weapon could break through several rows of heavy armored cavalry, then what would be the consequences if ordinary soldiers and bandits faced it? Wouldn't they be easily cut into two halves?

Imagine a situation on the battlefield where the soldiers in front split into two halves all of a sudden! What's the visual like? What kind of surprise will it cause?

The Knights were still charging forward, but a contradictory fear exploded in their hearts; the speed of the mounts slowed down when they saw the scene before their eyes.

Xiao Yu stood on top of the wall: “First group! Shoot it!"

Bang~~ bang~~

A series of shots echoed and several knights fell from their horses. The horses that came behind them mostly jumped over their bodies but some of them did not, then stumbled and fell to the ground.

“Second group! Shoot it!" Xiao Yu shouted once more and the same scene played out once again.

At this moment, the Glaive Thrower was filled with a new set of swords. The faces of the knights were filled with despair as they saw the strange machine ready once again.

Puchi~ Puchi~

Again more than a dozen horses were cut in half from their thighs. The Knights and their mounts fell to the ground; the painful groans of horses resounded loudly.

The cavalry only took ten seconds to reach a grunt. According to Marcus' plan, the cavalry would then destroy the Orcs as the bandits followed to clear the rest. But in these ten seconds, less than 200 cavalrymen were able to reach the gate. Moreover, their attacks did not have a strong impact. They waved their spears without any effect.

The long spear was the nightmare of all the soldiers on the battlefield. Even the heavily armored infantry would be stabbed and killed by them. However, that long spear was not very useful in this terrain.

The grunt was at the gate, so the cavalry only had 1 chance to attack. If they could not resist the grunts then they could not follow up with another attack. In battles that occurred mainly in the plains or wilderness, the cavalry would turn around after the first attack to make a second attack from a different angle. The attack will continue as they approach a different angle— but this terrain does not give them a chance for a second attack; they are facing a wall!

As a result, there was no significant difference between the cavalry and the grunts.

Guns were still firing from the wall as 300 grunts blocked their movement.

Xiao Yu knew what role guns could play on the battlefield. As a result, he did not let the shooters shoot at will but divided them into two groups that shot one after the other.

Moreover, he did not plan on using it to kill many knights on each attack because he knew that with the low accuracy of the shotgun, it was not, only 25 could not do much against 300 cavalry— but they would play an important psychological role in the battle.

Knights wore heavy armor that ordinary swords or spears could not penetrate through. Theoretically, their weak points are joints and other weak points.

The bullets could not penetrate the armor of the knights in the hardest part, but they would definitely hit the neck, eyes, knees or any other part of the horse or knight. Moreover, they could still pierce through relatively thin parts of the armor.

Xiao Yu was satisfied when the bullet dropped several horses. The goal was not only to kill the enemy but to create an obstacle that slowed the momentum of the heavy cavalry attack. Moreover, both Glaive Throwers did extremely powerful physical and mental damage to the enemy. As a result, the combination of the two weapons completely destroyed the heavy cavalry army.

Argh~ Argh~

A normal warrior would not be of much use against an equestrian Knight.

Their bodies were wrapped in armor and immune to spears and swords; they could kill many ordinary soldiers even if they were unsuccessful in their duties. However, grunting is a different matter. Xiao Yu had taught them a very simple way to deal with the heavy cavalry. The grunts would use their strength to catch the horses, then use brute force to knock them to the ground. While the grunts could not stop the cavalry's swift attack, they could reverse the horse!

…

…

Grom stood still while looking at Marcus. The grunts were not Marcus's opponent because his strength was too strong. Only Grom can face Marcus.

At the same time, the flanking grunts attacked the horses and used their axes to slash the thighs of the horses to injure and overturn them. Knights had problems standing up because their armor was too heavy. The grunts then used their giant axes to directly destroy the heads of the knights covered by helmets.

“Ah... Kavaleriku..” Marcus saw his cavalry almost completely destroyed. He ordered his bandits to rush out.

However, two blades flew up and slashed at the bodies of the bandits. The lower part of the sliced body will make a few more steps before falling down while the upper body will remain in the air for a moment before falling. The bandits were shocked! If ordinary soldiers tried to use the Glaive Thrower then they would not be able to adjust the change in the trajectory of the machine. However, the two grunts were strong enough to flexibly change the direction of the Glaive Thrower and shoot it.

The shooters now fired at will as the bandits tried to storm the wall. The archers supported the grunts by killing the bandits who were trying to attack them.

The shooters were ordered not to try to help or support the Orcs because their shooting accuracy was very low. There was no guarantee that they would not hit the grunts instead of the bandits. As a result, Xiao Yu relied on accurate elf archers.

Marcus saw that he had no other way out. He was desperate, and hoped to rely on the number of his bandits to kill the enemy.

Some bandits tried to get into the wall but the bachelors managed to knock them down. The bachelors used a shield formation and did not let anyone pass through the stone stairs.

25 Bachelors standing in a row shoulder to shoulder. The shield covers the body of another. This was Alexander the Great's shield formation.

The bachelors do not need to attack. They only had to remain in a defensive formation and the archers would kill the bandits trying to attack.

A golden light exploded. Xiao Yu was surprised to find that the Archmage had reached level 6.
