Three sides of the valley were covered in flames.
The raging flames turned the sky red, making it look like the end of the world was coming.
The fire ash and sparks flying in the wind blocked most of the field of vision. Both humans and animals in the valley could only see the scene immediately in front of them.
Blood was the theme of this moment.
The cruelty of competition was vividly demonstrated here.
Roar!
A group of orcs armed with machetes slashed down angrily, completely breaking through the human defense circle.
The half-orc leader, who had turned into a blood-red-skinned monster, strode over with a grin.
"Human beings are two-legged sheep and their food!"
"Get them! Today! Have fun!"
The orc leader had been completely integrated with General Stone Tablet, but he had not been assimilated. Instead, he still maintained control over the main body.
And General Stone Tablet obviously did not reject such an ending, as the crystal he had transformed into shimmered slightly.
The stone tablet, which had been shattered on the ground, was pulled up by the orc leader’s hand and stood up again.
Just as a new batch of gargoyles were about to be summoned, a loud rumble suddenly came from the valley.
The orc leader looked back in confusion and saw a sea of fire exploding in the distance!
A group of knights in heavy armor rushed out through the sea of fire, each one bowing his head and urging his mount forward!
The leading knight was tall, and the earth-moving dragon beneath him roared, causing a wave of shock every time its four claws landed on the ground.
"Where did this elite force come from!?"
The orc leader’s eyes narrowed.
The remaining human lords were also shocked and couldn’t help but feel a surge of hope.
Some people desperately wanted to get closer to the newly arrived cavalry, while others shouted loudly at them.
"This way! We are over here!"
"Are you reinforcements? Which lord do you belong to?"
"Quickly, break up the orcs’ formation and let’s break through!"
But before the lords could rejoice, they saw the shield guards appearing right behind the Flying Tiger Cavalry.
As soon as that familiar heavy armor appeared in front of everyone, their hearts felt extremely weird, and their previous cheers stopped short, like a duck being grabbed by its neck.
In the valley, the forces of the human lords were compressed into a tight circle by the orcs.
Toji Hisami and the others who had just arrived did not go straight to the main force, but instead flanked a side.
The other lords under the protection of the shield guards also displayed their supporting skills at this time.
When a territory was weak, as long as the lord did not follow a purely offensive combat route, the lord’s greatest strength lay in support.
At this moment, various skills were blessed upon the Flying Tiger Cavalry.
Wind Spirit Blessing: Increased speed to reduce the impact of ground obstacles.
Blessing of Strength: Increased physical strength and strengthened unit output ability by 10%.
Tough Skin: Increased defense by 15%.
All these skills worked exclusively on the Flying Tiger Cavalry, because the shield guards did not need their blessings.
Under the leadership of Lyra, the shield guards’ own buffs were already enough, and they could perfectly control their power at this exact moment.
Sometimes, more buffs did not mean better results. When the intensity of stacked buffs exceeded a soldier’s ability to control them, the final effect would not be 100% reflected.
Occasionally, that extra strength might even lead to an increase in unnecessary mistakes.
Toji Hisami’s territorial army has always been led by Lyra, and her absolute authority commands total obedience.
The concept of 100% control had long been deeply imprinted in everyone’s mind, almost becoming a second instinct.
Although the soldiers only practiced basic drills every day, they performed those drills under the effects of various stacked buffs.
Their execution was terrifyingly powerful, and when put into practice by the troops, it yielded incredible results.
Even though the Flying Tiger Cavalry sprinted with all their strength, they remained only a hundred steps away from the shield guards and never broke away from the main formation.
Boris, who noticed this scene, once again felt absolute confidence in the strength of Toji Hisami’s territory.
Seeing the disciplined strength of the shield guards, he naturally felt completely at ease behind him and charged forward almost unscrupulously.
"Brothers! Let them see what a flying tiger can do!"
Boris roared, and a layer of blood-colored mist surged from the body of the earth-moving dragon beneath him, while the cavalrymen behind him were also shrouded in a fierce red aura.
The cavalry leaped forward, overturning the orcs who tried to block the road with an unstoppable momentum.
The orcs’ formation fell into chaos, and the shield guards who arrived right behind were relentless, directly smashing forward with their heavy shields.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Even a thick-skinned orc could not withstand the crushing force of a door-panel-sized shield hurled at them.
The auxiliary troops within the protective circle were doing their best to strike targets, and the entire army maintained a rapid advance.
In the blink of an eye, Toji Hisami and his people rushed right into the core circle of the valley.
The speed was so blindingly fast that it completely exceeded everyone’s expectations.
The orc leader finally snapped back to reality, roared angrily, and led his bodyguards to attack Toji Hisami directly.
With his departure, the pressure on the previously besieged alliance lords was greatly reduced.
However, they did not try to help Toji Hisami contain the orcs. Instead, they exchanged glances and led their respective troops to retreat quietly.
As for the civilian lords, they were completely left in the dark and had been utterly abandoned by the alliance lords.
Their bitter expressions mirrored the grim reality of their betrayal, forcing them to fend for themselves while facing certain doom.
