Chapter 619: Banned Necromancers from Participating in the Battle!
Translator: Lonelytree
[Commander: Black Dragon Meonogas;
[Deputy General: Dragon Priest Devara LV19/Drow Assassin Horns LV17]
300 human soldiers (half of them are mercenaries, and the other half are human soldiers who surrendered to the Highleaf Region);
300 Kobolds and Gnolls; Bear Goblin 100; orc 200;
The Black Dragon Overlord’s personal guards;
Drow’s secret force of about 20 people;
The good news was that almost all of them were infantry.
The bad news was that the advantage of cavalry in most areas of the Moss Green Hills was not obvious.
Matthew and the others had carefully analyzed the registration list.
The Black Dragon Lord himself was not included.
The elites were 100 Bear Gnomes and 200 Orcs.
The Bear Gnomes were very tall and strong and could be used as mini Trolls. They were not afraid of death and had endless strength.
The orcs were also a first-class infantry race. Matthew was currently unable to obtain their equipment, but considering that the Black Dragon Lord had been looting the Highleaf Region, he reckoned that the best equipment had been given to them, so it would not be too bad.
The Orcs had strong physiques, and the more they fought, the braver they became. They had an obvious advantage in close combat and were probably just a little weaker than the barbarians and trolls in the north.
The rest were just random soldiers.
The kobolds and gnolls were going along with it.
The mercenaries and human soldiers of the Highleaf Region might not be willing to work for the Black Dragon Overlord.
Therefore, he had no choice.
As long as they could annihilate the 300 elites of the enemy, their chances of victory on the battlefield would be infinitely high.
No matter how strong the Black Dragon was, it could not turn the situation around.
In comparison.
Rolling Stone Town’s list was more balanced. [Commander: Rheagar
Deputy General: Matthew/Zeller/Donovan [Troops: 200 human cavalrymen (including knight attendants)]
Garrison (Infantry 270, Archers 30);
Militia and reserves 300;
121 people from the Formation-breaker Mercenary Group;
Eight members of the Special Operations Unit (Lorraine, Richard, Li Weiqi, Lumiere, Leila, Obast, Clegg, Samantha);
Of course.
Balance was balance.
The real elites were the 200 cavalrymen and Donovan’s Formation-breaker Mercenary Group.
It was still unknown how much effort the latter was willing to put in.
Therefore, the three of them repeatedly deduced three core points about this battle.
First, the special forces must try their best to contain or even kill the Black
Dragon Lord. At the very least, they must keep him out of the main battlefield.
“Second, seize Overwatch Mountain as soon as possible and try to win in station mode or use this as an opportunity to seize the initiative in the battle.
“Third, on the battlefield, we must create the conditions for the cavalry to charge. ”
The above three conditions were easy to say.
However, no one could guarantee that it could be done 100% in practice.
Therefore, the three of them thought of countless possible scenarios.
Zeller, especially, had written more than 3,000 possible entries about the battle situation.
This was so that he could quickly respond to any situation on the battlefield.
It could be said that…
For the sake of this war, everyone in Rolling Stone Town had worked hard and made ample preparations.
According to what Rheagar said,
“If I can’t win even with this, then I might really have to go home and breed.”
In order to prevent that from happening.
Rheagar’s current state could be said to be divine.
He was riding a fine horse with the blood of hell. The armour on his body was tightly sewn together, and three long spears were hung on the horse’s back. The big sword on his back flickered with colourful greasy lustre from time to time under the sun.
Obviously, he had applied all kinds of oil in advance this time.
At this moment, Rheagar adjusted his horse and approached them. His expression was very serious, but his voice was very low.
“I heard you locked Melinda up.”
Matthew looked at him in surprise and then glanced at Zeller. Zeller raised his hands to show that he didn’t do it.
Matthew could only explain,
“I see that you guys don’t seem to be on guard against her, so…”
“Well done!”
Rheagar said fiercely,
I’ve had enough of that woman, but because of Sif, I can’t do it myself.”
Matthew heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s good that you understand.
“In fact, I plan to release her after the war is over…” Unexpectedly, Rheagar quickly waved his hand.
“Don’t!
“Please don’t!
‘ She’s now a high-level magic consultant for the Storluk Industries. If we let her go back, she’ll be in trouble. Let’s lock her up for a little longer!”
Matthew hesitated and said,
“But private confinement at Mount Black Suo costs money.
Rheagar waved his hand.
“I’ll pay.”
Matthew’s eyes lit up, and he looked at him suspiciously.
“Do you still have money?”
Rheagar coughed a few times and said to Matthew in a very low voice,
” I still have some savings. Ever since Melinda left, my spending has been greatly reduced. I’ve saved quite a bit over the past decade, so I should be able to keep her locked up for a while, right?”
Matthew thought to himself,
‘That’s right. He’s a prince, after all. His family must be well-off, so he no longer has any psychological burden.’ “About 10,000 gold coins a week.”
Rheagar was shocked.
A moment later.
He hesitated and said,
“For Sif’s sake, I’ll do it.”
Matthew couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Zeller was also speechless.
However, this small interlude had diluted the tension between the three of them.
A moment later.
Matthew took out a jar from his pocket and carefully handed it to Zeller.
“Give it to the archers, but be careful when using it. Don’t touch any wounds.
For humans, this thing is enough to kill them at the sight of blood..”
