Wheel of Fate in Another World - C97

All of Loki’s mounted archers had been dispatched, and Kathleen knew Milan’s advantage. That was why there were so many mounted archers in this battle, including the archers. The war was commanded by Keeble, and Katharine and Adiman watched from the pass. Before he could see the soldiers of the Ulan Took Empire, Loki had ordered Orby and Askin to bring the 3000 God Cavalry Battalions soldiers plus Ridley. There were over 9,000 soldiers in charge of the left flank in the two Barjee battalions.

Roche ordered them to stay as far away as possible, so that Orby could observe the terrain and find a place to retreat and ambush the enemy. The remaining soldiers, Loki, would lead them. After the arrangements were made, Loki and Albie left the camp and began their journey. Loki rode all the way thinking about the best plan of attack.

When the army reached a small forest, Loki planned to ambush the army of the Ulan Took Empire. This time, the ordinary training of the soldiers came in handy. They had set up traps and obstructions on the outskirts of the forest. They had also marked their positions with road signs to prevent any accidental injuries to their own people.

Roche called over Baker, who was going to lead two battalions. Although Baker was a vice-captain, he was able to win the position of a thousand-man commander with his own strength. His ability was clearly better than the other thousand-man commanders, so even if he led the team, Bellamy and Carter would not have any objections. Loki told Baker in detail about the battle plan he had in mind.

Everything was going smoothly. After everything was settled, the soldiers of the Ulan Took Empire had yet to appear. This was the power of Milan’s scouts. Before the soldiers of the Ulan Took Empire could leave the city, Milan’s scouts had already spread the news to Milan’s military camp. Not long after, a black line appeared on the slope. Dust flew behind the black line. Loki knew that the soldiers of the Lantern Empire had arrived.

Lodge waved his hand, and the right flank of the Bow rode toward the enemy’s right. The line was so long that Roche could not see the situation on the left wing of Orby, but there was no doubt that Roche had given him the army on the left. Loki was split into two teams, one in front and one in back.

Kathleen watched the movements of the archers. From the moment the archers dismounted to dig traps, she had no idea what Roche’s troop of archers was up to. Too far away, all she saw was the soldiers getting off their horses and being drowned in the dust. But now that the Bow Knights had returned to their normal state, her heart was at ease. Kathleen knew that the Ulan Took Empire had many advantages in close combat, so she wanted to make more achievements in long-range battles.

After knowing that Lodge was the leader of the Bow, Adaman had paid attention to the Bow Knights. He didn’t want to see anything happen to Lodge. Now he was sweating for Rocky, too, and his intense breathing had reduced the rate of his breathing. Adiman was well aware of how terrifying the soldiers of the Kingdom of Ulan Took were.

Loki flanked the enemy, choosing a path that the enemy could not see down the slope. After all, the enemy wasn’t as tall as Kathleen, and for the time being, they hadn’t found Loki’s team. Loki and Beck’s troops were now in parallel, and they reached the right flank of the enemy and began to close in on them.

Loki did not order his troops to move quickly, but reserved the strength of the horses for retreat. After all, in the face of the enemy’s absolute superiority in military strength, as long as one was entangled by the enemy, it was equivalent to being exterminated. About 500 metres from the enemy, Loki noticed that the right wing of the enemy began to stir, and Loki knew that the enemy had discovered his presence.

About a hundred meters away from the enemy, Loki made a gesture, and the archers began to remove their bows and arrows from their backs. They also took out an arrow from the quiver on their horses and prepared to attack. They had all come down from the battlefield before, so they were very calm and didn’t panic much. Luo Qi was very at ease. The thing that made Loki most at ease was that the leader of the Urantok Empire didn’t seem to understand the role of the Bow Cavalry and didn’t send out his light cavalry. Instead, he adopted a defensive posture.

At a distance of 60 to 70 meters, Loki raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist. Countless arrows were shot from the bow and into the enemy’s camp, hitting a large number of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Ulan Took. Loki could hear their screams and the voice of the messenger telling the other soldiers to calm down. A large number of shields were added to the front line as a cover.

After a while, a group of people rushed out of the enemy’s formation. It was not a light cavalry unit, but a war chariot. They were extremely fast. Roche immediately ordered a retreat in the direction of the small forest. Baker and Lodge retreated in two separate directions, as planned. When the enemy’s chariot took hold of Loki, Baker stopped shooting arrows at the enemy’s chariot.

The enemy chariots turned to chase after Baker. Beck ran, and Loki shielded the arrow. Loki and the others took advantage of the fact that the chariot was turning so slowly, leaving the chariot helpless for the moment. Before they reached the forest, the enemy retreated. Their chariots could not be used up. The Bow Cavalry soldiers were unable to catch up to the chariots, so they quickly returned to their own camp. Loki, who had caught up with the enemy in front of him, ordered his men to continue firing arrows at them.

The arrows of the enemy could not even reach Loki’s army. The angry army of the Ulan Took Empire sent out light cavalry that was twice the size of Loki’s army and rushed towards Loki. Of course, Luo Qi didn’t choose to engage in melee combat and retreated in the same manner. This time, they couldn’t split up like last time. There were too many enemies, enough to chase in two groups.

Loki and Beck retreated to the small forest they had agreed upon. The Light Cavalry soldiers did not stop their attacks. They used their skill to retreat and turned around to shoot arrows at the enemy. This was the only way to shoot a small target. It was not a random shot from an arrow aimed at an enemy. Only the Knights of God were able to do such a thing in Loki’s troop of archers.

The enemy soldiers were being shot by arrows, but they did not stop their pursuit. Instead, they increased their speed. It seemed that they wanted to eliminate Loki no matter the cost. Finally, Loki and his men escaped into the forest. A large number of the enemy soldiers fell into the trap, and the soldiers in the front row had just fallen into it. The soldiers in the back had no time to stop and fall against the first row. The light cavalry’s charging speed was too fast, it was not easy to stop.

The soldiers of the Bow Cavalry Battalion led by Baker continued to fire, while the soldiers of the Divine Cavalry Battalion brought by Loki drew their swords, ready to engage in close combat. A long trench in front stopped the enemies’ pursuit. The light cavalry couldn’t jump over and could only watch helplessly as the arrows shot towards them like locusts. The casualties were too great. The 20,000 strong army only had 5,000 soldiers left, so they had to retreat as if their lives were on the line.
