Game of the World Tree

Chapter 247



The castle siege had reached its most critical moment at this point, with the elves inside Black Dragon Castle teetering under the relentless onslaught of the Behemoths and the Orcs.

But at this crucial juncture, unexpected elven reinforcements suddenly arrived on the outskirts of the battlefield!

Coming from the northern and south direction, one group emerged from the Dark Canyon, while the other descended from the ancient Elven Forest. The two groups then cleverly flanked and surrounded the Orcs on the lower hillside in a horizontal formation.

The Raid Support Force decided to form two separate heavily armed elite elven cavalry units!

Each group numbered over a thousand elves, with each and every one of them riding various kinds of magical creatures!

Not only that, but their equipment far surpassed that of the elves nestled within Black Dragon Castle, and their very presence exuded much greater power than their defending counterparts.

“Elves! There are more of them? Just how many elves have exactly gathered here from the Elven Forest?”

Lionheart King Imsh stood in disbelief as he witnessed the sudden elven cavalry assault against his army.

The rest of the Orcs also noticed the approaching elves that’s flanking them on both sides, which caused a subtle commotion to arose within those Orcs stationed at the foot of the hill.

No one had expected the elves to possess additional forces.

What’s more, these reinforcements were entirely composed of cavalry units!contemporary romance

In the age of cold weapons warfare, a cavalry is a formidable force capable of overpowering any armies entirely composed of foot soldiers. And fact also holds true on Seigües, even with its native inhabitants possessing extraordinary magical abilities.

Moreover, the combination of elves and magical creatures made their strength far more dangerous than a simple calvary unit.

What’s more, each familiars that the players used as their mounts, and those selected for the raiding force, at the minimum possessed the strength of an iron-rank creature.

After forming a bond, their familiars could communicate with players through the help of the game system.

By complementing each other, the strength of cavalry players has greatly increased.

Coupled with their organization and sheer scale…

The players belonging to Raid Support had become a rather formidable force!

Atop the castle walls, the players who were defending the castle and struggling to hold their ground regained their spirits when they finally saw the Raid Support Force charging into the Orcs whilst basking underneath the setting sun.

“Haha, reinforcements are here at last!”

“It’s the cavalry unit! It’s pretty amazing seeing them from up here on the wall!”

“It’s time for our counterattack!”

“Charge! Let’s bring down these Orcs!”

The defending players cheered, as their morale soared.

Conversely, upon seeing the sudden assault of a new enemy, the Orc army was thrown into disarray, and their suicidal offensive wavered slightly.

In the heat of battle, the most dreaded scenario was the arrival of the enemy’s reinforcement units.

Not to mention that these reinforcement were compromised entirely of elite cavalry units with both magical creatures and elves!

The high-speed charge of the Raid Support Force was akin to a terrifying tidal wave, causing even the sturdiest Orcs to exhibit signs of fear when confronted with such a fierce assault.

The Orcs on the outermost perimeter even began to scatter left and right, whilst trying to evade the elven cavalry charge.

Alas, it was already far too late for them.

The cavalry players were either overly excited or wore ferocious expressions as they listened to the thrilling and energizing background music carefully prepared by Evé just for this moment.

Their brandished their weapons whilst letting out boisterous war cries and under the guidance of their legion commanders, the two Raid Support group stormed right into the heart of the Orc army with the intensity of a rabid wolf pack on the hunt.

“Charge!”

The sight of a thousand elven cavalry charging forth with such relentless ferocity left the defending players entirely awestruck.

Especially when viewed up high from the castle walls, such raw and turbulent spectacle was a visual delight akin to a blockbuster cinematic scene!

All the players taking part in the castle’s defense were deeply moved by the scene happening before them.

The two heavy cavalry forces, one from the north and one from the south, intersected diagonally into the enemy formation whilst shouting deafening battle cries as they kicked up dust and thrust themselves straight into the midst of the Orc army.

They were like two unstoppable torrents, and like two sharp blades, the two cavalry group fiercely penetrated right into the orc army that was quickly falling into chaos!

In an instant, the formation of the Orc army was completely shattered by the charge of the elven cavalry.

“This is so thrilling! This is war event is so epic!”

Standing on the castle wall, Demacia watched the cavalry force charged down the hill, and the spectacular scene filled him with excitement and stirred his emotions.

“All the previous games I’ve played were so weak! And sure enough, being in a Cavalry is the true romance of men! I swear, ElvKing has the most amazing war events!”

Watching the cavalry players charge with the momentum of a landslide, Demacia felt his adrenaline surge as the game’s background music coincidentally, at this point, also reached its climax.

“Argh, I can’t wait anymore, Brothers! let’s also charge together!”

Filled with excitement, Demacia shouted while wielding his epic-class greatsword that he had stealthily retrieved from the watchtower outpost last night.

In a daring move, he fearlessly rushed toward one of the Behemoths that was currently locked in combat with some other players but—

Smack!

Alas, he was swiftly swatted away and dismissed with just a single slap from the colossal beast…

Nevertheless, Demacia wasn’t the only one getting excited and reinvigorated by the appearance of the Raid Support Force.

In fact, almost all the defending players were emboldened by the majestic sight of three thousand cavalry players charging at the battlefield beneath them.

Even the usually calm Li Mu began to engage in a brawl alongside some other players while using his own staff, against some Orcs who had managed to climbed onto the walls.

Everyone seemed to be infused with newfound energy as they launched a frenzied counterattack against the Orcs!

The angle of attack chosen by the cavalry players was quite impeccable.

Originally, in order to avoid the boulders hurled by the catapults from the Black Dragon Castle, Lionheart King Imsh had ordered the Orc army to spread out their formation. As a result, nearly half of the army had not yet ascended the hill where the castle stood but were encircling it on the foot of the hill instead.

Not only that, but the the main force of the Orcs, those with silver-rank strength, as well as the ten Behemoths, were concentrated near the castle.

Whereas the Orcs stationed below the hill were relatively weaker in terms of strength.

This strategy was initially designed to minimize casualties, but at this very moment, it backfired on the Orcs as it now presented the cavalry players with a golden opportunity.

Their charge wasn’t directed at the Orcs who had already reached the top of the hill but rather at those positioned below it.

In a swift and thunderous assault, the outer ranks of Orcs below the hill crumbled in an instant!

The collapse of the army on the outer perimeter caused the surviving Orcs below the hill to ran upwards the hill, leading to a stampede which further escalate the chaos within their entire formation.

“Damn it! Sound the horn! Order the army to stabilize the formation!”

Watching the heavy casualties inflicted by the cavalry’s charge, King Imsh’s face turned livid as he barked out the command in an enraged manner.

The horn sounded slowly, and the Orc army began the arduous process of reorganizing their formation.

However, it was already far too late.

The cavalry players, having already launched one charge, didn’t halt their stride at all. Instead, they changed direction and charged once more toward the Orc army in the midst of reformation!

The elves’ initial charge had already shaken the Orcs, and this second charge tore down their formation once more!

“These damned elves! Do they really think I’m easy to deal with!?”

As he watched his army’s outer forces crumbled into chaos, Lionheart King Imsh’s eyes reddened with fury.

“You, continue the siege of the castle. Gor, summon three Behemoths to be my personal guard. You guys, follow me, and we shall rip these elven cavalry to shreds!”

Imsh roared and ordered one of his trusted aides to continue commanding the army, while he unsheathed his longsword and rode Gor. Three Behemoths then came after and followed the Orc King, as Imsh led a small elite troops of Orcs to charge toward the elven cavalry that’s currently attacking on the outskirts.

The elven cavalry was indeed formidable, but Imsh couldn’t help but notice that their levels weren’t actually very high.

Given that his solders on the outskirts face difficulties in holding their ground, he, a high-level ranker with golden-rank strength, lead the charge alongside four silver-rank Behemoths and reorganize the army on the periphery and crush those accursed long-eared beings!

Hmph, let them see what it means to be overwhelmed by someone with a high-ranking strength!

With a resounding loud horn, the orc army changed its formation yet again.

This time, Lionheart King Imsh, while riding Gor, personally led an elite group and charged toward the cavalry raid force!

King Imsh’s judgment this time was correct since the players’ strength was ultimately lacking compared to the elite group that he formed.

With King Imsh leading the charge, they instantly overpowered the formidable elven cavalry.

Lionheart King Imsh rode his Behemoth right into the midst of the Raid Support Force, whilst trampling down numerous players underfoot…

And at that moment, the casualties among the Raid Support Force rapidly began to soar.

“Hmph! Is this all they’ve got?”

Watching the elves fall into disarray, Lionheart King Imsh let out a sinister laugh.

Yet, as the sun disappeared in the horizon and darkness cloaked the skies entirely, a peculiar sound caught his attention.

“…What’s that noise?”

King Imsh abruptly questioned, after hearing a subtle rustling sound as the ground trembled, hinting at an approaching presence.

The Orc King then raised his head, with his expression filled with confusion, as for some reason, that ominous sound instilled a sense of unease within his heart.

He swiftly scanned his surroundings, and his perplexed expression soon froze in place as his gaze fixed upon a specific spot.

Right there, from the direction of the Dark Canyon…

A multitude of menacing, gigantic spiders, whilst accompanied by a truly terrifying colossal arachnid with a chilling aura, surged forth towards the Orc army!

At long last, once twilight had descended, and darkness engulfs the land—

Rose, the Spider Queen alongside her brood of crypt spiders, finally arise from the bowels of the underground.
