Imperial Crown.

Chapter 480: Dragon Zorzaan
The heavy combat boots made a slight crisp sound in the dark rainy night, and the fallen leaves, rain, dead vines, thorns, and tender buds under the feet were all worn away and melted away.

"cough cough"

Someone let out a stifled cough.

Jacob Lai's face changed, "Brother, bear with it!"

"The smell of mugwort is so pungent, boss. Although it can drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants, it makes me feel a little dizzy." Someone nearby couldn't help but complain.

Including this year, Jacob Lai has been in the army for 10 years. He was promoted from the leader of ten men to the captain of the elite heavy cavalry! And an elite heavy cavalry has 200 people! In the past, this was something that he dared not even think about. Only in the Eagle Army, a pariah like him who was born as a serf could become a captain!
This can be seen from Eric, who was born a free citizen and became a transcendent in the Iron Legion. He served for 8 years, but was still just a private!
As one of the few veterans who had been strengthened by Lord Raven's mysterious ritual, Jacob's loyalty and ability were beyond doubt. Upon hearing this, Jacob looked at the other party through the hollow part of the hard helmet, "Then you won't use it? Lord Earl said it was useful, and you really used it! Now you complain about it."

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Jacob shouted in a low voice and quickly lowered his body.

The soldiers in the rear immediately squatted in unison. Although it was not easy for them to squat or stand up as they were wearing heavy armor, they still carried out the captain's orders without hesitation!
"Choo Choo Choo"

A strange bird cry was heard, and Jacob's expression softened slightly. He took out a whistle the size of a little finger joint from his mouth and blew it rhythmically.

After a while, a black shadow crawled over quickly from a distance like a toad.

"Hey, Jacob, are you okay without your warhorse?" Thor asked, panting. "This time, I can only win and not lose. I've already lost once. If I lose again, the master will never let me lead the army again! My life and property depend on you. I hope that you, an old soldier, will not fail at the critical moment and let Hoyaz ride on my head!"

"Oh!" Jacob said in a teasing tone, "Thank you for your sincere encouragement and praise to a veteran like me, but I think there is nothing wrong with letting Hoyaz be the head coach."

"..."

Thor was a little speechless, and held up two fingers. "If you do this, I'll give you 20 points of merit. How about that?"

"But, speaking of which..." Jacob Lai showed a smile that he could not suppress, "I have followed your father Eric for many years, so of course I have a deeper affection for you."

"Remember, I'm letting you heavy cavalry dismount and attack the front, so that you can beat the Goblin First Legion! But be slow, make sure you're slow, and make sure that green-skinned beast, Jiji Lingga, believe that you are the center of the main attack!" Thor swallowed his saliva, with a hint of tension that was difficult to eliminate. "After you beat the First Legion, immediately move to the right wing and expose the legion of mercenaries behind you. Let them continue the main attack. I will leave the flying brigade and the archers to cooperate with them! And Hoyaz and I will lead the heavy infantry legion to attack their lair!"

In fact, Thor's tactics were very simple. He simply used the trap tactics that Raven explained to him last time.

The first thing is to create an obvious bait, and the mercenary is the bait!
Secondly, the road leading to the bait is only for entry but not exit, and the heavy cavalry on the left and right wings are used to cut off the goblins' retreat!
The third and most important point is that when the enemy finds out that this is a trap, the more they struggle, the deeper they will fall! This is exactly the task of the two main and deputy commanders, Thor and Hojaz!

Thor called this tactic the "scissors tactic", but this pair of scissors is different from ordinary scissors. One side is a comb like fish scales, and the other side is a sharp pair of scissors!

Although camping along the river greatly solved the problems of eating, bathing, drinking water, etc., it also put the camp on the edge of a dangerous "cliff".

When the sharp scissors come, if you don't want to die, you can only escape into the Tallinn River through the gaps between the "comb teeth".

No matter how many people there are in the Goblin Legion, once they go down the river, they will become fish on the chopping board and pigs and sheep to be slaughtered at will due to their weak strength!
Thor breathed a sigh of relief only after he was sure that Jacob had fully understood his tactics. The last decisive battle with the wild boars had taught him that it was extremely difficult to influence the situation of the war, and he had to be extremely cautious.

"charge!!!"

As the war drums sounded, a sound like muffled thunder exploded in the rainy night, and countless Eagle soldiers in heavy armor slowly advanced towards the Goblin camp.

"Shoot an arrow! Shoot an arrow quickly!"

The goblin, who was only two-thirds the height of an adult, immediately panicked and shouted, "Go back and report to the chief!"

Then, goblins with unusually long ears crawled out of the cave, holding their own simply built longbows, and shot at the Eagle Army.

The result was naturally futile. These arrows shot at the thick and hard armor and could not even cause a white mark as big as a sesame seed. Jacob Lai, Bobby, Boris, Wade, Otto...these veterans of the Eagle Army were already captains of 200 elite soldiers! Now they were leading the charge.

The reason why the heavy cavalry had to dismount was because the Goblin Legion had already dug all kinds of traps. Although they didn't know how to make chevaux de frise, digging caves and traps was their specialty! In addition, there were many thorns specially cut from other places to block the way ahead.

Secondly, Thor did not want the Goblin First Legion to be defeated so thoroughly and so quickly!
Tsk
With the glow of fighting spirit, Jacob Lai swung the greatsword in his hand, and the thorn bush in front of him exploded immediately, unable to stop his firm steps forward!
In fact, there was no need to swing the sword. Even if he was wearing heavy armor, these thorns could not hurt Jacob Lai at all. However, he cut them for the mercenaries and light infantry who came later. Those light infantry who were only wearing leather armor obviously could not face the thorns that were as tall as a person.

"Woo-ga"

The goblins made animal gibberish, opened their scarlet eyes, and attacked Jacob Lai and the others with crudely made weapons in their hands.

The long sword danced again, feeling soft to the touch, much easier than chopping the thorns just now. These short green-skinned beasts were cut in two, and their upper bodies slid to the ground.

Even arrows falling from high altitudes could not cause any damage to the heavy armor, let alone these short goblins. Their attacks were like scratching an itch through a shoe and were not worth mentioning!
Jiujiu Linga brought a total of 18 legions this time. He lost one last time, and now there are only 17 legions left. The First and Second Legions are all composed of these short ordinary goblins, and the legions composed of bear goblins and earth goblins are the Third and Fourth Legions. Jiujiu Linga obviously has a special meaning for making such arrangements. No matter how strong the opponent is, whether they use fighting spirit or not, the two legions have more than 3 goblins, which is enough to make the opponent consume half of his strength. At this time, if the legion composed of bear goblins and earth goblins attacks, the chance of winning will at least increase by %!
"No one is allowed to use Dou Qi! Move forward slowly!"

Keeping Thor's instructions in mind, Jacob and a dozen other veterans kept shouting, asking for enough time to give Thor and Hoyaz to mobilize troops to march towards the goblin's lair.

The wet and sticky drizzle continued, without any harsh thunder or lightning. Although the rain made the heavy armor even heavier, for the soldiers of the Eagle Army, it could be said that they had never fought such a rich battle in their lives. They only needed to raise their spears or swords, without any fighting spirit or even strength, and only rely on the inertia of the weight of the weapons to kill the disgusting and ugly green goblins in front of them! But what surprised most people was that even though the situation was so desperate, this group of goblins did not panic like the other orcs and flee in a panic. Instead, they came out of the cave more fiercely and rushed towards them desperately!
They valued their companions more than the Eagles, Boars, and even the Tigers. The death of their companions would arouse their inner anger and sadness! Thus, they formed a spirit of blood and courage, and rushed towards the Eagle Army soldiers in the rainy night.

"It seems that goblins pay more attention to family affection?"

Jacob Lai thought a little uncertainly, because he found that only one goblin who came out of a cave would be like this. They basically did not show much emotion to the goblins who came out of other caves.

唰

The greatsword was swung, and rain mixed with green juice splashed under the rain curtain, like fluorescent ink, blooming into cruel and bloody mandalas.

……

"Clan leader!!!"

A shrill wail sounded outside the Chirping Linga's cave. The goblin who came to report the news had an obvious trembling and fear in his voice: "Chief! The Eagle Army! The Eagle Army has launched a charge!"

Jiujiu Linga asked Pujiji puzzledly: "Didn't you deliver the letter today?"

Pujiji hurriedly said, "Send it over, Master Shaman! Raven even read it in front of me, and that's why I came back."

"Can I understand your meaning to mean that the letter was not delivered until noon, and they launched the charge at night?"

Jiujiulinga was so angry that he spun away the half bottle of Angel's Tears with celery flavor in his hand and smashed it to the ground with a bang. "Don't panic! We have 100,000 goblins here, and they only have 30,000. There is no way we can win!"

Because they wanted to disobey Silvermane's orders, there were no orcs of other races in Jiujiulinga's camp, especially no Eaglemen. That's why all the scouts were goblins! Silvermane was worried that Jiujiulinga would discover his plan, so he deliberately didn't send Eaglemen to Jiujiulinga as support. Of course, the main reason was that other races were unwilling to associate with goblins.

"Silvermane! Raven!"

Muttering these two names that he hated so much, Jiujiu Linga gnashed his teeth in anger. If his ring had not been lost, he would have launched another sacrifice no matter what!

"Let's explore again!"

Touching his pointed head, Jiujiulinga calmed down and shouted to the goblin, "Let Gabangcui mobilize all the goblin legions behind, leaving 5 legions to protect the logistics, and the rest of the legions will go forward. Doesn't Raven want a decisive battle?! Then fight them!"

However, before he could finish his words, two or three goblins stumbled over and said, "Master, the First Legion is destroyed! The soldiers of the Eagle Army are simply demons. We can't even break their armor!"

"How long has it been? Less than an hour and the entire First Legion has been wiped out?" Jiujiu Linga asked in disbelief.

Even though they were all cannon fodder goblins, there were at least 5000 to 5400 goblins in a legion. They were all killed in just over half an hour, which made Jiujiu Linga still find it hard to accept!

"It seems that the guy named Thor doesn't have any tactics, he just charges from the front!"

Jiujiu Linga muttered something and waved his right hand, "It doesn't matter, we still have the Third Legion and the Fourth Legion! They are enough to resist them. I have sent people to mobilize the legions at the rear!" As he said that, Jiujiu Linga walked outside.

"Chief, where are you going?"

Jiujiulinga said without even turning his head: "I will go find that little bee myself and talk some sense into him!"

Riding on his beloved Komodo, Jiujiulinga took a shortcut and quickly returned to the city of Kezan. With a look of fear on his face, he came to the obsidian gate and ordered people to knock on the door.

"What's the matter?!"

A powerful aura emanated from inside. Just a single sound made all the goblins at the door tremble and shiver.

Even Jiujiulinga, a fourth-level shaman, felt a suffocating feeling as if he couldn't breathe.

Rumble

The obsidian door slowly opened, and a huge dragon head with flames stretched out from it. "Jiujiu Linga, you disturbed my sleep. You'd better be fine, otherwise, you will tell me your last words."

Just a dragon head, it was as big as seven or eight bear goblins, with dragon scales on it, clearly visible. A pair of eyes looked like two burning torches in the rainy night, or like flowing magma, with a majesty that could make all things naturally submit and fear! There were three distinct bone spurs on the top of the neck, like ravines and mountains. There were also three sharp bone spurs on both sides of the eyes and mouth. There was a circle of bones of different sizes on the chin. The nostrils were spewing long dragon breath like mist. The dragon's mouth was open, with dense fangs like rain. The dragon's tongue was trembling, as if a ball of fire was about to burst out from it, burning everything in the world!
Pfft!
Jiujiulinga finally couldn't resist and knelt on the ground, saying with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness Zorsaan, I have no intention of disturbing your sleep and that of your child, but I am in danger now. Raven, that shameless bastard, actually launched a surprise attack on me on a rainy night. My subordinates are fighting bravely, but they are no match for Raven! My lord, I need your help! I hope to work with you to give Raven the heaviest blow and let him know that your majesty cannot be offended! Oh, yes! Angel's Tears were invented by Raven, and he still has many, many Angel's Tears. As long as we catch him, we will have Angel's Tears that we can never drink up again!"

"A bunch of trash!"

Zorsaan roared angrily, then raised his head and let out a roar!
Roar--! ! !
The dragon's roar exploded like thunder!
