Wheel of Fate in Another World - C96
Kathleen said, “How do I know you’re friends? By the way, Lodge just made a loud noise. Did you hear it? ” Loki finally understood why they had come here. It was because he had disturbed them by breaking the tree. Loki answered vaguely, “Yes, the tree fell.”
Adiman patted Loki on the shoulder and said, “Loki, I’m glad you came. “Unexpectedly, you’ve finally walked this path. It’s such a waste for someone like you to not be in the army.” Luo Qi looked at the happy Adman and felt his sincerity. His mood improved a little, and then he looked at Kathleen who was looking at him with a big smile on her face. Luo Qi avoided her gaze with a smile, since he didn’t want her to see anything.
Luo Qi took a deep breath and said, “I didn’t even think of it myself.” Then Adiman cordially beckoned Lodge’s Baker to his camp for a drink and a chat. Kathleen followed, keeping a high profile in front of Adiman, without the entanglement of having to deal with Rocky. Baker still didn’t talk much, except for Adaman and Loki.
On the way, at Adiman’s invitation, Lodge followed the leaders of the two countries. However, under such circumstances, Loki didn’t say much and tried his best to avoid their conversation. He preferred to stay in his carriage. Due to the intense fighting going on at the front lines, the marching troops began to increase their speed. They could not enter the city, so every time they passed through a city, there would be a welcoming party outside. They would just circle around the city.
After more than ten days, Loki and the others finally arrived at the Kurer Great Prairie. It was already noon. Loki could feel the aura of war emanating from the wounded soldiers of the Witch Empire on the prairie. The Wu Lan Wu Su Empire had already prepared a tent for them on the Ku Lun Great Prairie. When the group reached there, it would save a lot of trouble. They would directly arrange for a tent for the army to rest.
Aside from the Milan Empire’s army, the Kurer Great Prairie also had more than 600,000 soldiers of the Ulaanwu Empire. They were all troops that belonged to Prince Adaman’s faction. Adman’s army had been fighting here for almost a month. The pass, which was as firm as a rock, had already begun to crumble under the fierce attacks of the soldiers of the Ulan Took Empire.
They had chosen to fight in the field outside the borders of the Kingdom of Ulan Took to let the soldiers at the gates win the time to rebuild their defenses. Even now, the army of the Wulancu Empire was still battling against the soldiers of the Wulantouk Empire.
Kathleen did not let the officers rest. She immediately gathered all the officers in the regiment and went up to watch the battle. To them, this was a good opportunity to get to know the enemy. The armies of each empire had their own peculiarities. It was necessary for them to understand countries that had never fought before, and it could bring about unnecessary losses. Kathleen, as a good commander, would not miss the opportunity.
Loki and the rest went up to the pass, along with the soldiers of the Ou Clan and the collapsed walls. It could be seen that this place had been under fierce attack. Although Loki had participated in a few battles, as a soldier, he couldn’t see the full picture of the war. Now it was different. As an officer, he could stand far away and observe the entire battlefield.
After Luo Qi turned his gaze to the battlefield, he was completely stunned by the scene before him. There were so many soldiers on both sides, like ants. Almost every second, there were dozens of soldiers who lost their lives. Life on the battlefield became worthless.
Although there were only ten of them, the number of magical beasts and cavalry soldiers that Milan didn’t have, they were still extremely useful. One was a rhinoceros with a head like a rhinoceros’ head. It did not have rhinoceros’ horns, yet it had these two fangs. Its body like an elephant was more than three times bigger than an elephant.
On the back of the magical beast were two archers and a controller. Every one of these giant beasts was surrounded by the Spearmen and Archers of the Empire of Wulan. The size of the magical beasts made the three soldiers of the Kingdom of Ulan Took seem very small, and it was difficult for the archers to attack them. The spear-wielding soldiers had no effect on the steel-like scales of magical beasts.
This kind of magical beast was only a control-type magical beast, different from contract magical beasts. They would not communicate with humans and would often attack without distinguishing between friend or foe, so they fought alone to tear apart the enemy’s defenses. There was no other way to deal with the soldiers of the Wulan Wu Su Empire. They could only keep teasing it and make it go crazy. Crazy magical beasts wouldn’t listen to the soldier’s commands. They would run all over the place, sometimes towards their own troops, and then leave the battlefield.
The Ulan Took Empire also had a terrifying military force, which was the chariot, which was pulled by two fast horses. Composed of a horse rider and two scythe riders, they were very effective at disrupting the enemy’s formation and rampaging through the enemy’s phalanx. The Ulan Took Empire, however, didn’t have any Bow Cavalry. Their bows and arrows, however, weren’t very good, and their range was very close.
Milan possessed an advantage in this aspect. Milan’s longbow was made of the tendons of magical beasts. These magical beasts usually lived in the Milan Empire, but the other empires rarely had them. Thus, Milan’s archery range was extremely terrifying. Milan’s military officers were discussing the situation of the battle on the battlefield, making their own analysis.
After an entire afternoon of fighting, the casualties among the soldiers of the Wulan Wusu Empire were devastating. However, they had survived until the end of the war, not allowing the Ulan Took Empire to pass. After the soldiers of the Ulan Took Empire retreated, only large groups of corpses remained on the battlefield. War like this happened every day. The grassland behind this pass led to several big cities of the Wu Lan Wu Su Empire. It was a place where all the armies fought for power. Therefore, both countries fought over the land, regardless of casualties.
As an army that had just arrived on the battlefield, the Wulangusu Empire had given them three days to rest. For the past three days, Loki had been watching every battle. As a subordinate army, Loki didn’t participate more in Kathleen’s operation because the archer cavalry’s mission on the battlefield hadn’t changed.
During these three days, the soldiers of the Bow Cavalry Regiment entered the once a month examination of the Divine Cavalry Army on the next day. Baker successfully promoted his military position and became the vice captain of the Divine Cavalry Battalion. Loki’s special care for Baker gave the Knights of God camp two vice captains, and Baker was only a substitute, not recognized by the Empire.
On the fourth day, Milan’s soldiers entered the battlefield for the first time since entering the Wulanwu Empire. Although these were all veterans, this was the first time they were fighting against the Ulan Took Empire. Kathleen used 100 thousand people in this war. This first war was very important, as it had a great impact on the morale of the soldiers.
