Here they actually encountered a group of Odin orcs who were not inferior to them in this aspect.

Is the other party just like them, carefully selected?

Or is it a random team with universal applicability?

If it's the former, it's easier to say.

If it's the latter, the implications are somewhat surprising.

Although large size is not directly equated with force, it still has an advantage among ordinary soldiers.

Because this means that they will be stronger, be able to shoot stronger bows, and wield weapons with greater power.

Before it could be verified, Skambari subconsciously thought it was the latter possibility. What came to his mind was the feeling of the sweet root entering his belly and the subtle energy flowing through his body.

That is the purest life energy. If you eat food containing this energy for a long time, it will definitely have a subtle impact on the body. The Odin Orcs themselves are a race transformed by magic, and their bodies are far more unstable than the Byrons.

It is easily stimulated by this external energy, resulting in secondary growth.

Skambaz knows this better than any other Odin orc, because in the past ten years, he has been engaged in a secret work related to this.

The second difference is that these Odin orcs are generally thinner, but their faces are much prettier. The most important thing is that their appearance is very clean, especially compared to those who have been away from home for several months.

Scambarge and his party were taking a bath, as clean as Byron's nobles.

The third difference is the weapons in their hands. In addition to the riding bows that the Odin orcs are best at using, they also have a fire stick-like weapon attached to their saddles.

Skanbar recognized their origin at a glance. They were the new weapons of the Yongye Army—cavalry rifles.

Whether it is shooting speed, shooting power, elevation or range, they are all superior to the Odin Cavalry Bow of the Odin Orcs.

Based on this last point alone, Skanbarz and the others had determined the identity of the other party.

Regardless of whether the other party was once a remnant of the East Odin Empire, or once belonged to their West Odin Empire, they now have a brand new identity - a vassal tribe led by the Eternal Night Army.

Judging from the involuntary hostility in the other party's expression, the other party is probably from the Eastern Odin Empire.

Otherwise, even if they have surrendered to the Yongye Army Leader, they should not have such deep hostility towards them.

After all, their army is still thousands of miles away, and the two sides have not officially engaged in battle yet.

The several military conflicts between the Theodin Empire and the Eternal Night Army Leader were also in the direction of the Byron Alliance, not in the direction of the Odin Grassland. Each time they ended in a glorious victory for the Eternal Night Army Leader, and the Theodin Empire Orcs

The hatred towards the leader of the Evernight Army is higher, because hatred is often a companion product of failure.

Skambari quickly completed the assessment of the identities of these Odin orcs in his mind, and said loudly: "We are from the Miracle Peninsula, the protectors of the Odin Grassland, the supreme ruler of the Odin Empire, Emperor Odin.

The heir of the will, His Majesty Ulan Bazhi, came with goodwill to ask for an audience with His Excellency Lord Sean, the king of the Andis people, the ancestral spirit of the Kentana people, and the guardian of the Crocodile people. I also ask both parties to put down their weapons and do not

Cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Didn't you hear my order? Put down the bows and arrows in your hands!" Skambaz's order was obviously directed at the seven or eight Odin orcs who were surrounded by the enemy in the middle.

"Your Majesty the Prince..."

"Your Majesty, don't come here..."

The seven or eight Odin orc sentries had hesitant expressions on their faces, and did not immediately obey Skambari's orders. In this chaotic situation, the weapons in their hands were the only thing that provided them with a sense of security.

Ulala...

Accompanied by bursts of shouts, those Odin orcs who were suspected of having surrendered to the leader of the Eternal Night Army as vassals rushed up with roars, like a monster with a big mouth, and took Skambari in one bite.

He swallowed it together with the cavalry escort behind him.

From a purely military perspective, these orcs with the label of Eternal Night Army Leader do not have any advantages.

But judging from their momentum, it was indeed them who surrounded Skamba and his party.

"In this case, any violent reaction will only save your own life and that of your brothers. It is better to put down your weapons and prove your sincerity. Believe me, Lord Sean is not a person who advocates violent solution to problems. I believe in his subordinates."

The same is true. We will not use force easily before we have thoroughly verified our intentions. If they choose to use force, when we come over, what we will see is not a large number of living people, but a few corpses that have been beaten into sieves."

Instead of telling his subordinates, Skanbarge would rather tell the Eternal Night Orcs who besieged them, and use the will of the supreme ruler of the Eternal Night Army to suppress them.

"How can you be sure that we are the people led by the Yongye Army? Maybe we are just a group of horse bandits who have lost their homes and tribesmen and wandered across the vast prairie? And you are the main culprits for us losing our homes and tribesmen!"

Questions came from among the Odin orcs who were showing off their power.

"Kill them! Kill them to avenge our people!"

"Kill them! Use their souls to pay tribute to our tribesmen who died tragically!"

More roars came from it, and the anger in the words could not be faked.

To this day, the Orcs of the Eastern Odin Empire who managed to survive the last Eastern Expedition of the Theodin Empire are filled with unforgettable hatred for the Theodin Empire and their rulers.

The disaster of the East Odin Empire, and even the East Odin Prairie, all started from that ambitious annexation war.

If that war had only destroyed the East Odin Empire, most of the East Odin orcs would not have so much hatred for the West Odin Empire.

The nomadic people do not have such a strong sense of family and country in the first place. They just change the people they pay cattle and sheep to, and who they are loyal to during the war.

But that war also destroyed the grasslands they relied on for survival, leaving them in the shadow of the undead for ten years.

Every day they suffer in that kind of precarious life, their hatred towards the Theodin Empire will accumulate one more point.

"If you want to disguise yourself as a bandit, please take care of the dazzling lances on them first." Skambari said in a nonchalant manner, "Once you use the lances, I believe that the Yongye Army Commander will find our bodies.

Finally, we will definitely get to the bottom of it. By then, whether you are real bandits or fake horse bandits, you will be found out. If you don't use lances, are you sure you can kill us completely?"

Faced with Skambaz's questioning.

The shouts of those Odin orc cavalry involuntarily dropped several decibels.

Even though they were not numerically superior, they were still confident. The big reason was indeed the lances in their hands.

In this kind of close-range confrontation, the power of the lance is indeed far greater than that of the mounted bow.

They were confident that three rounds of close-range shooting would be enough to knock down more than half of the enemies. The remaining half of the enemies were basically panicked. Even if the opponents were carefully selected elites, they would not be able to withstand their impact.

If lances are banned, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

In recent years, nourished by the natural changes in the East Odin Empire, their bodies have generally undergone secondary development. They have a taller and stronger physique, and are equipped with martial arts and combat skills from the Eternal Night Army Leader. However, compared with

Despite those elites who have been honing their killing skills for decades, they still have big shortcomings.

"We admit that our past choices have indeed caused unimaginable and irreparable harm to the people of the East Odin Empire, but I can say with my chest that many things were not caused intentionally by us. If there is a re-election

Given this chance, we will never make the same decision again, but everything has already happened and no one has the ability to undo it. The only thing we can do is to temporarily put aside our hatred and look forward."

Skambari said with a sincere expression, "You have already deeply experienced the pain of war. I think you don't want to see another war continue to break out on our common homeland. After all, there are many people in your team and mine.

With your tribe, once a war breaks out, you are the ones who will be hurt the most, and I am here with a proposal to avoid war."

"I have never seen such shameless sophistry. You are obviously preparing to launch the second Eastern Expedition and the second war. Now you are telling us in a high-sounding way that you are here to avoid war. Do you think we are here?"

Are you an idiot who doesn't know anything?" Another angry voice sounded from the Eternal Night Orcs riding.

"You are too prejudiced against us. Look at our soldiers. Do we still look ambitious? These carefully selected warriors have been tortured into this state by hunger. Those ordinary herdsmen have become like this."

It should be easy for you to imagine what it looks like. This year is still a year of disaster in the west. We are not so much marching eastward as we are fleeing the famine in the east. The number of victims far exceeds the number of soldiers. This is a completely forced move.

." Skambaz made no attempt to hide the plight of the Theodin Empire.

Five years after the great disaster, it was not just their family, but the nature of the whole continent, and it could not be concealed at all.

Instead of putting money on one's own face, it is better to be miserable and earn the sympathy of the other party. Even if the other party hates them, they come from the same source, have the same face, and bleed the same blood.

"In the final analysis, it is still the incompetence of you rulers. Now you are just using this method to pass on the negative consequences of your incompetent rule."

"I think we don't need to continue to waste words on such meaningless issues. The person who can really make the decision has already arrived." Skambaz turned his eyes behind the Evernight Orcs and in the direction of the Evernight Army Leader.

, a slight earth tremor was coming from that direction, as if a larger cavalry was coming from that direction.

Moo! Moo! Moo!

A sound of beastly roar that was very unfamiliar to Skambage and his group came from them.

This beast's roar sounds very much like a cow's moo at first glance, but it has a length and depth that the cow's moo does not have.

Moreover, this kind of beast roar has a clear rhythm, just like a rhythmic drum beat. Along with the roaring footsteps, it forms a unique rhythm, which is integrated with the human heart rate, an uncontrollable fighting spirit.

It came to their mind that there seemed to be nothing in this world worth fearing.

The group of Evernight Orc Rangers heard this unique beast roar, and their application revealed complex expressions, fear and unconcealable admiration.

It's a long story. When they heard the roar of the beasts and felt the tremors caused by their footsteps, the other party was not far away from them, and soon the figure of the new cavalry appeared in front of them.

The new cavalry team was much smaller than Skambaz expected, with only twelve members.

But the huge pressure they brought was far greater than the previous Eternal Night Orc Rangers.

Twelve cavalry are like twelve moving hills, both the mounts and the knights on the mounts.

Although the speed is not particularly fast, it has an unstoppable and magnificent momentum.

According to legend, the Kentana people, the barbaric wilderness people from the Kentana Icefield, and their traditional mounts, the Kore beast.

The twelve new cavalrymen are no longer the Odin orcs who have become vassals of the Eternal Night Army Leader, but the authentic Kentana barbarian Kore beast cavalry.

Kore beast cavalry armed to the teeth.

They have all the equipment that the Evernight Orc Rangers have, but it is an enlarged version, with a height of two and a half meters, and the arrows are two meters long. It is just like a small throwing spear. Just looking at it makes people scared.
