The First Vampire

This epochal battle on the Luval Valley Plain was once again taking a turn.

Looking down from above, the Central Army led by Emperor Reinhardt was retreating in an orderly fashion, but they were being stubbornly pursued by the Orc’s War Song Legion.

In the eyes of the Orcs, the skull of Emperor Reinhardt was an unparalleled temptation. How could they allow such a great achievement slip away?

However, during the pursuit, the War Song Legion had unknowingly pulled some distance from the bulk of the Orc troops.

And just then, the retreating Imperial Central Army suddenly shifted its formation.

The centre of the military formation caved in sharply, and under the command of the banners, the soldiers rushed to both sides. But the wings of the formation suddenly began to advance.

The entire process was like a flower blossoming; pleasing to the eye, yet revealing its most vulnerable core.

At this moment, all the War Song Legion needed to do was charge, and they could easily split the Central Army in half.

Just as the commander of the War Song Legion began to question the sanity of the opposing human commander, he suddenly felt an unusual tremor.

Looking up, he saw at the end of the Central Army’s intentionally divided lines, a dense cavalry unit appearing.

Amid the earth-shaking sound of galloping hooves, these dense cavalry units looked like a moving city wall, filling the horizon.

Knight Logh lowered his visor, levelled his long spear, squeezed his horse’s belly and roared:

“Blood Knight Army, charge!”

“Kill——”

Long spears glinting with cold light formed a fearsome forest of death, rapidly sweeping towards the formation of the War Song Legion.

All the sounds on the plain seemed to vanish at this moment, leaving only the rumbling sound of horse hooves.

Facing this unexpected scene, the War Song Legion promptly adjusted their formation.

The tall and sturdy Skull-shatterers held up their shields at the forefront, facing the rapidly approaching tide of steel without retreating, issuing angry roars.

This was the hereditary army of the Orc Emperor, the elite of the Orc Empire. Under Emperor Saruman, they defeated all the Orc tribes that dared to resist, and established the third Orc Empire.

They considered themselves the most powerful infantry in the world, no enemy could stop their advance.

And now, they had finally encountered the most powerful cavalry unit of the human empire.

The destined collision between the two was bound to be a saga written with countless drops of hot blood and vibrant life.

The galloping war horses shook the earth, and the muffled sound of hooves was like a hammer pounding on one’s heart.

In all the battles that the Blood Knight Army had fought, no enemy had managed to stay calm and composed under their full-speed charge.

Each time the charge horn sounded, it basically signalled the end of the battle.

They were the sharpest spears in the world, without any adversary capable of resisting them.

But this time, things seemed a little different.

The towering Orc soldiers were preparing to face the charge of the Blood Knight Army head-on!

“Waaaaagh!”

Roars resounded through the Orc formation, each louder than the last.

And in the midst of these roars, the vanguard of the Blood Knight Army, like a breached dam, crashed into the Orc formation.

This marked the beginning of the most visually impactful scene of the battle.

Boom!

The iron behemoth-like heavy armoured cavalry, under the action of great inertia, crashed into the Orc formation with a terrifying impact.

Blood splattered and body parts flew everywhere.

The bodies of the orcs proved incredibly resilient, managing to withstand the first wave of the Blood Knight Army’s charge.

A large number of cavalry from the Blood Knight Army screamed as they tumbled into the orc formation. The war horses fell, throwing their riders off before the orcs delivered the finishing blow.

Of course, the orcs paid a heavy price themselves.

More than half of the front-line orc soldiers were killed or injured, but their positions were quickly filled by their fellow warriors, thus, maintaining the stability of their line.

Yet the charge of the Blood Knight Army wouldn’t cease.

One wave after another, one attack upon another.

It was as if surging tides were repeatedly crashing against the coastal levy.

Blood spewed out copiously, so much so that it even flowed into the tributaries of the Luwal River, dyeing the river network of the plains red.

Countless lives were extinguished in these violent collisions.

The cries and sounds of bones breaking were ceaseless, resonating across the open fields.

Cruel, bloody, tragic…

The first clash of the Blood Knight Army and the War Song Legion instantly escalated the battle to the highest level of bloodshed.

Both sides stood resolved, defending their race’s honor with life and faith.

In this confrontation, the Blood Knight Army gradually gained the upper hand.

The speed of the cavalry, their heavily armored protection, and the accompanying terror of their charge — even the advantage of the orc’s physical strength couldn’t withstand this.

After enduring seven rounds of charges, the War Song Legion’s defensive line began to show gaps.

The subsequent cavalry of the Blood Knight Army wouldn’t let the results of their comrades’ sacrifices go in vain. They trampled over enemy corpses and those of their fallen comrades, pouring in through the gaps like sharp daggers that tore the orc formation.

The sharpest spear eventually triumphed over the most robust shield in their showdown.

Perhaps in warfare, even the best defense is no match for a sharp attack.

The old saying, ‘a protracted defense will surely lead to defeat,’ rings true.

When the Blood Knight Army broke through the War Song Legion’s defense line, the rest of the task became much easier.

Units of cavalry flowed like a torrent, expertly splitting the War Song Legion’s formation.

At the same time, the Imperial Central Army, initially held back on both sides, transformed into a giant net under Emperor Reinhardt’s leadership, enveloping the entire War Song Legion.

Not only that, other well-prepared human troops also began to join the encirclement, cutting off the War Song Legion’s retreat, and blocking the pathways of any orc reinforcements.

It was then that the commander of the War Song Legion realized their perilous situation.

But because their pursuit of Emperor Reinhart went too deep, they found themselves trapped within the encirclement of the human army, making any retreat difficult.

Worse still, the initial blow from the Blood Knight Army had them stunned.

This feeling of being defeated head-on was both foreign and deadly to the War Song Legion.

So while facing the dissection process of the Blood Knight Army, the War Song Legion’s warriors, who seldom experienced setbacks, fell into massive chaos and panic.

At this moment, the Orc Army’s biggest weakness was exposed without a doubt—

They were excellent in single combat, but they lacked coordination with each other and even more so in terms of tactical cooperation.

In this situation, they could do nothing but scatter in front of the Blood Knight Army, falling into an every-man-for-himself state of chaos.
