Chapter Two Hundred and Two: Orquila Cavalry
Orquila is a country with a long history and was founded on cavalry, so when it comes to cavalry, we have to talk about Olquila.
Geographically, Orquila is located in the southern part of the "gospel" continent, close to the equatorial zone, and has a tropical monsoon climate (such as Oskilia) in some areas, but a predominantly savannah climate. Every year, a monsoon wind blows in from the stars and sweeps across Orquilla along the "Ring of Fractures"; Its territory is not vast, the population is medium, and the landform is dominated by wetlands and woodlands, but there are not many plains.
It stands to reason that Orquila is not suitable for the development of cavalry, so why did the cavalry formation pass down from generation to generation in his country? It all started with Olquila I. The king of Orquila was only a tribal leader in the north of the continent, and after losing the struggle for power, he was exiled by his brother for life; He led his people along the west coast of the continent to a plain (in fact, now Orquila), where the water and grass were abundant, and decided to settle there. He vowed to remember the shame and one day bring his people back to his homeland.
However, time has worn out everything, including hatred. Neighboring countries Saramonro and Astante have all appeared on the continental stage. If the Orquila wanted to bring their troops back, they would have to face five or six countries, which was a terrible thing for them who were weak. They had no choice but to wait for the opportunity to train horses and cavalry on the one hand. By the time of Orquilla X, the populace (and perhaps the royal family) had put their old feuds behind them and opted for a life of peace and tranquility, as evidenced by the worship of the ox or the ethos of Oscuria.
It has to be said that with the passage of time, the war horses brought out by Orquila I began to degenerate. The number of strong thoroughbred horses gradually decreased, and even the combat effectiveness of the cavalry shrank. In woodlands or mountainous terrain with slightly more difficult terrain, bantam horses are less likely to break their legs and become a favorite of farmers or merchants. If you want to find tall horses, you can only find them in the army.
Thus, the people of Olquilla were originally brave horses, but now they are nothing more than cattle in horse's clothing.

Pacific Time (Western Time) (PST) at 10 a.m. At this moment, it is the final showdown between the living and the dead.
The 80,000-strong army led by the Bone Tyrant and June Sunshine ran through the entire territory of Orquila, harvesting five or six cities in one night, which has never been the case in history for three reasons: first, not to mention the player, even the NPC's physical strength is not unlimited, and no one can march endlessly; Second, in the second half of the night, several cities in Orquilla were undefended, and even the players let their guard down; Third, in cognition, the army is very easy to roar in night battles, and no race except the dark elves dares to fight at night, and the dark elves are not enough to have such a big appetite as devouring Olquila.
Necro creatures meet all three of these criteria. They never get tired; They deceive the player, deliberately powerful in the dark, using soul wavelengths to sense and transmit information, absolutely not out of command, and their discipline ensures that there is no roar. It can be said that after this day, all players of the "gospel" will realize the horror of necromantic creatures.
However, for the creatures who are arrayed outside of Osgilia, the most important thing at the moment is not to study how the necromantic creatures get in, but to deal with the death battle in front of them wholeheartedly. Of the 1.5 million players of the "gospel", there are 50,000 of them, which may not seem like much, but if you take into account the working hours, it is also very impressive.
"Have you made contact with the Bald Eagle?" On the city wall, one of the presidents asked the other presidents, his face gloomy. Because of the overwhelming army and the king's need for their help, they have the right to wear weapons and walk around the walls.
"No, he said he wouldn't help."
"What?!! When has this been, and it hasn't appeared yet?! All the presidents roared angrily, as if the bald eagle were right in front of them.
The president who delivered the message was also helpless: "He said, 'If you didn't invite me in the first place, don't look for me until the end.'" I like to play from scratch and don't like to play endgames. ββ

The leader sighed: "Everyone is a small guild, or the southern branch of some big guild, and there are only so many people who can draw up in the south of the Chainrope Mountains. To be honest, Orquilla's leveling area is lacking, and the monster level is low, and even Ralharenne is semi-open to players...... It's not a place to fight for a long time, and it's okay to give up. β
"Are you willing to give up all these years of business? Don't say so desperate! There are more of us than him, and we can definitely torture him to death! The other president was indignant and said in a superhero tone: "We don't need bald eagles, we can win!" β
"If we don't need bald eagles, then we don't have to give up Osgillia. We are fit to fight, and the June sun is fit to fight, and there is no comparison. Alright, I'll take the teleportation array with my men to the border and then transfer to Astant. β
As the president left, he turned his head again and said one last word to the lifeless presidents: "The June sun is crazy, be careful." β

While the guild leaders were in a hurry to gather information or discuss countermeasures, Lingwynny was in battle under the castle and then gave a pre-battle speech to all the soldiers. He sat on horseback, holding a magic prop that could amplify sound, and his tone was serious and calm. His first words were: "Soldiers, I know you are secretly grieving. β
Many soldiers choked up. They came from all over Orquila, and the Bone Tyrant killed their wives, children, and parents last night. When I received the battle report this morning, many people vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
"Necromantic creatures have killed our brothers and sisters, and they have killed our siblings. The dead will not rest in peace, they will become one of them, and their souls will not be free! This kind of behavior is unforgivable! The general's voice was like a flint and steel clash of stones, and slowly sparks sparked from the calm: "That's why we're standing here!" We must stop the enemy and destroy them once and for all! Even at the cost of our lives, we will fight against them, because we are righteous! β
He drew his sword and shouted: "Ocquila cavalry, never flinch in front of the enemy!" Over the mountains, over the rivers! The last line is a lyric that explodes out of my throat.
The soldiers were shocked, and immediately someone wiped their tears and sang:
"We are the never-say-die cavalry of Orquilla!"
Thirty thousand people raised their weapons, and the song shook the clouds: "The sword and spear are our brothers, and behind the armor and shield is our hot heart!" β
"Forward, scars bear witness to heroism;"
"O onward, horseshoe to lead peace!"
"The body will be taken away by my comrades, please also bring my letter home! Don't grieve for us, rejoice for us! Onward, we are the never-say-die cavalry of Orquilla! β
The energy in Ringwynny's eyes burned. As his spear was pointed, the trumpet sounded, and all the soldiers set out as if they were dead.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Qingyi looked into the distance. In the Soul Eye, he saw a large expanse of unquenchable red.
"The morale of the other side is very high." Scowl Road. "Swing in a circle. Sword and shield soldiers, raise shields. The necromantic beasts all retreated to the center of the formation. β
The NPC cavalry began to move. The first to rush were the light cavalry and the archers, who shot a round of [Arrow Rain] (unfortunately [Arrow Rain] had no effect on the necromantic creatures, of course, there were a few unlucky ghosts who were hit by the soul fire and dissipated), and then galloped along the perimeter of the necromantic creatures to both sides. It depends on the situation, the opposing boss wants to surround the army of necromancy, and then devour it in one bite.
Although Nave is not there to use the Necro Army, the enemy's mounts are already terrified. Urged several times by the cavalry, the war horse dared to rush towards the army. Although the horses have thinned their bloodlines after many generations of hybridization, they are still very reliable, and they can crush skeletons in their way with their chests with a single [charge]. The hussars wielded silver sabers and effortlessly cleaved skulls and pierced soul fire.
When the light cavalry opened the gap, the heavy cavalry, which had been holding still, arrived. Led by Lingwenny, the heavy cavalry in plate armor galloped and murderously [Group Charge]! Their mounts had no sense of fear, only spurting and dashing, and the sound of horses' hooves was like a furious drumbeat, thumping the earth! They are like a dark whirlwind, and they are about to sweep away the army of necromancy!
Orquila Heavy Cavalry: Level 45, Heavy Cavalry (Human). They are the ace of Orquila's troops, known as the undefeated cavalry. They wore the finest armor and sharpened weapons from Ayalotis, they rode horses of the purest blood, they were trained in the strictest combat, and even their daily diet consisted of monster meat (which was said to make people powerful). It is no exaggeration to say that each of them is worth twenty-five thousand gold coins. Because personnel are extremely valuable, they will not be dispatched lightly. The skills he specializes in include [Long Weapon Mastery], [Riding Mastery], [Charge], and [Iron Black Raid]. While in [Group Charge], gain the skill [War Trample] and increase ATK by 10% against any Physical Defense army skill.
"[Platinum Shield Array]! [Bone Shattering Spear Array]! Skaul shouted, and the formation methods and precautions for the two consecutive army skills were conveyed by him with soul wavelengths. The skeletal warrior immediately fell to one knee and lifted his tattered shield (mostly a pot lid or washboard) to the ground; The spearmen rested their spears on the shoulders of the sword and shield soldiers in the front row, and waited for the battle.
"Can you stop it?" Qingyi asked. For this question, he felt extremely unoptimistic before he asked. Although the Immortal Banner can transform all dead into undead creatures, it does not mean that it will help them transform into weapons by the way; The Qingyi army had a total of tens of thousands, but less than 7,000 of them were equipped with metal weapons or armor - this is based on the premise that "hoes and shovels can also be counted as weapons". Using these motley armies to deal with the well-armed iron cavalry, Qingyi felt that there was little hope.
"I can't stop it." Scowl is a scoundrel and plays a country tune.
("Are you already resigned to fate?!") Xue Duo shouted)
As soon as the words fell, the heavily armored god-killing gods crashed into the skeletons, and their speed could not be reduced at all!! Even men and horses, each of them weighed two tons, and those simple shields and spears could not stop them at all, and the fragile body of the skeleton was destroyed by a single blow! The bones flew on either side of them, like the waves they stirred! The level gap of more than 20 levels makes the heavy cavalry kill with joy!
In just ten minutes, the 8,000 heavy cavalry scuttled through the circle at the cost of one-tenth of the loss, and their results were extremely brilliant, killing more than 20,000 necromantic creatures (almost no injuries, because the skeleton soldiers who hit it head-on were killed in seconds)! After rushing out of the enemy line, their plate armor was covered with scratches, and there were many wounds on themselves and their mounts, but they were still fighting high!
"They finally rushed out." Qingyi Road.
"Don't be too happy, look at the appearance, it's going to turn back and chisel through our formation again. It's really troublesome, it seems that the opposing commander has some ability, the repeated [charge] of the heavy cavalry is a technical job, if you don't stare at it, eight thousand people can run in eight thousand directions. Skoll scratched his head and said dissatisfiedly: "It's a mess of my formation, and I don't think about others at all......"
As the necromantic commander had said, the heavy cavalry gradually converged, once again converging into a boiling black stream. The black stream was headed, and the old general's hoarse roar could be heard at its tip: "Line up, let's do it again!" γGroup Chargeγ! Tell me, who are you?! β
Eight thousand men shouted: "We are the never-say-die cavalry of Olquila!! β
