Different World Online

There was no violent charge;

The dwarves and orcs simultaneously slowed down, testing the waters for the first wave of firefights to come;

If they stay this close, the dwarf will obviously have the advantage. The mountain goat has a very strong explosive power, and its instantaneous acceleration far exceeds that of the warg.

Once the orcs turn around and flee, they need to create distance again, wasting the wargs' energy to prepare for a second charge;

Both parties are old rivals who know each other well.

The orcs wanted to keep a safe distance, trick the dwarf knights into charging en masse, then divide their formation and kill them;

The dwarves, on the other hand, stick together in a close unity;

Fumon, who had been dealing with orcs for many years, knew it very well;

Must! Must wait until the orcs can no longer avoid the first wave of his charge before giving the order;

Even if it means sacrificing some of the charge speed, the number of orcs must be reduced.

Just like the clash between heavy cavalry and light cavalry, distance is the lifeline of the knight;

Unlike standard human heavy cavalry and light cavalry, the ranged capabilities of dwarven heavy cavalry actually exceed those of orcs;

The dwarven hammer that Thorin had was not a rare thing. This one-handed hammer with a huge hammer head that could fly back into the thrower's hand was a standard item for dwarves.

Dwarves have short arms and their unique physiological structure prevents them from using long-handled weapons very well. With limited attack distance, they can't help but find ways to change the status quo.

So the dwarf hammer that can be thrown repeatedly came into being.

The most important thing is that dwarves are generally rich and productive, and can fully afford the Dwarven Hammer.

The dwarves are able to become one of the three major forces in the North with their only city, Thorium Hall. This is no joke.

In comparison, the orcs, who belong to a predatory civilization, do not have a strong productivity, except that they have first-rate physical fitness and can give birth to many offspring in a litter.

This is also the reason why they were driven to the barren and endless wilderness of the West.

The two teams are still getting closer to each other...

Soon, the distance was shortened to 300 meters, and Steve, squatting on Bobby's shoulder, could clearly see the messy nose hairs in the orc's nostrils;

At the front of the dwarf arrow formation, Fumon held the hammer tightly in his hand, staring at the orcs opposite like an experienced hunter;

He is very patient;

It takes 5 steps for a worg to fully activate its speed, and another two steps to turn around, while a mountain goat ready to go can fully activate its speed in just two steps, even if it is carrying a heavily armored dwarf.

Around 100 feet (30 meters) is what most dwarf patrol captains consider to be the optimal charging distance;

About 150 feet (50 meters) is the strongest killing range of the Dwarf Hammer;

However, Formon was not prepared to give the orcs a chance to get closer;

It takes time for the Dwarven Hammer to be thrown out and fly back; and you need to catch it while it is flying back. If you don't catch it, it may hit your head.

That is, they need to complete a full round of throws before the charge begins;

Seeing that there was only about 450 feet (150 meters) between him and the orc raiders, Formon suddenly threw the heavy hammer upwards and roared;

"Throw!"

As soon as he finished speaking, fifteen dwarven hammers were thrown into the air in unison;

Fumon didn't expect to kill many orcs with this round of high throws. He was forcing the orcs to make a choice.

Either charge in when the dwarves throw, or create some distance and run away;

This is a test of endurance and patience;

It was obvious that the orc raiders had no patience. With a violent roar, the orcs began to charge under the "hammer rain";

Seeing this, Fu Meng breathed a sigh of relief but also became slightly nervous.

It's good news that the orcs chose to attack, but it's a challenge to survive this wave of attacks.

On the other side, charging along with the main orc army, there were also small groups of orcs on the flank;

Seeing this, Steve wasn't going to wait any longer;

The first time you make a strong effort, the second time you make it weaker, the third time you make it exhausted;

Bobby was scratching her butt and armpits, obviously getting very impatient. This girl was not a professional soldier and did not have the calm professional qualities.

"Let's go!" a low shout;

Poppy roared with joy when he got the signal, holding the tower shield in one hand to protect his side, and strode forward with his thick and strong short legs;

The dozen or so orcs on the opposite side were obviously afraid of this giant beast that was 12 feet (4 meters) tall, and their formation began to fall apart during the charge;

Seeing this, Steve smiled coldly, put [Alex] in his hand at his waist, ready to go;

On the other side, after taking back the dwarf hammer and seeing that the orcs were no more than 75 feet (about 25 meters) away from him, Formon raised his hammer high and his voice exploded like spring thunder.

"charge!"

The goat's eyes were red, and it lowered its head, revealing the thick horns coiled on its head. It stomped its two hooves, which were as big as an adult's palm, on the ground, and the dwarf knight carrying the heavy load was shot out like an arrow in an instant.

Before the war, the dwarves had fed these tall goats with large amounts of salt, and at this moment, the salt had transformed into surging explosive power.

The distance of twenty meters passed in an instant, flesh and steel intertwined in an instant, and in an instant, the sound of bone-shattering air-explosion exploded;

After one charge, the orcs and their mounts that were scattered in formation were split in two;

After leaving behind four orc corpses that were crushed to pieces by the iron hooves of mountain goats, the orcs successfully withstood the first and strongest attack of the dwarves;

On the other side, Poppy's battle record was much uglier. Except for one unlucky orc who was stabbed into a sieve by the tower shield spikes, the rest of the orcs were intact.

Even the unfortunate orc's wolf mount was safe and sound.

However, it is normal that Poppy's charge did not cause heavy casualties. The orcs are not fools and they will not foolishly confront this behemoth weighing more than half a ton head-on.

As they passed each other, Steve patted Bobby's bald head twice.

Seeing this, Poppy, who had not yet completely lost her temper, immediately pulled out the giant mace that was hung on her waist, and the [Stick Weapon Expertise] that came with her ogre bloodline began to take effect;

Holding a shield in one hand and wielding a mace that could kill anyone who touched it, Poppy chased the orcs around and beat them up.

Although most of her attacks missed, she still danced around excitedly like a little girl who just got a Barbie doll.

At the side, Steve jumped off Bo's shoulder and landed accurately behind an orc knight;

Sitting on the Warg's rump, his chest pressed against the orc's furry back, Steve grinned.

He reached out his hand, vanished, and pulled out a throbbing mass of flesh and blood, tossing it aside, all in one go;

Steve wiped his hand on the fur skirt of the orc who stood straight, and with a slight arch, he pushed the lifeless orc off the warg, and then grabbed the warg's reins himself;

Obviously, the extremely ferocious wargs could not accept the reality that food, that is, humans, sat on their backs;

Turning its head, the smelly, fanged mouth bit into Steve's thigh;

However, when it turned its head, it met a pair of eyes full of murderous intent and extremely cold;

The next second, a whimper of weakness was heard.
