In the early morning, the coalition forces left the camp and approached Green Skin.

As expected, the greenskins also lined up to greet each other. The wild greenskins beated with war drums and weapons at an ancient rhythm, and shouted provocatively at the approaching enemy.

As depicted on the map, the river passes through the middle of the battlefield, naturally dividing the battlefield into two wings, north and south.

This battlefield is actually a plain in front of two lakes, and is divided into two sections by a river from the middle. The battlefield is very flat and nothing can be hidden on the lake surface. The battlefield on the north side can be said to be fully visible, while the battlefield on the south side is different. Since the green skin occupies a small highland, it is impossible to judge their size and quantity.

Kemo watched the situation in the distance. The entire coalition was divided into three parts. The first part was on the north side of the battlefield, with a number of 30,000 people, mainly composed of the Oren City troops he brought. The second part was the original Shem army, which was arranged in the south of the battlefield, with a number of 25,000 people. Kemo himself commanded the troops here. The last part was 10,000 cavalry in Tulan. They were ready to support or pursue at any time as the general reserve team.

Last night, several scout teams had confirmed that it was very difficult for hiking soldiers to cross rivers with higher water levels, but horses could barely swim. In other words, cavalry units can rescue any side at any time at the critical moment. Of course, it is best to seize the small highland and the river surface on the edge of the highland, even infantry can easily cross the water without any tools. Of course, Green Skin should already know about this.

This arrangement is very fair on the surface, and there is nothing worth criticizing. But in fact, it is a bit selfish. In Kemo's idea, this battle for the high ground will be the core of the entire battle. Green skin will definitely leave the strongest troops here. He cleverly avoided his direct troops from the most intense combat position.

The confrontation between the two sides was very short. In a blink of an eye, on the battlefield on the north side, the green skin, which had already been unable to hold back, had already launched a charge. The green waves violently hit the embankment of the steel armor. The bloodthirsty cry of "Waaaaagh" came one after another.

"It's almost done." Ke Mo looked ahead. It was obvious that because of the favorable terrain, the green skin on the opposite side did not intend to take the initiative to attack. "Are ready for the cannon!"

"Sir, the green skin occupies the highlands, and the cannon has limited lethality!"

"The cannons start shooting!" Ke Mo ignored his subordinate's advice at all. With his orders, the roar of artillery fire rang out in shock. More than ten solid shells flew to the high ground. However, just as his subordinates suggested, on the slope, the shells were difficult to exert the lethality of the jump, and almost did not cause any effective lethality. As soon as the cannon stopped, a few goblins jumped out and laughed and cursed here.

"It seems that there are still some fortifications." Ke Mo looked carefully at the hillside of the highland. "If we occupy the highland, can our cannons support the other side of the river?" He asked a subordinate who was very knowledgeable about artillery.

"No, the distance is too far. The power of the shells hit there becomes very small. And the soil on the river is soft... I suggest using a magician."

At this time, the cannon fired in the second round, and the killing effect was still limited. But what is glad was that a shell happened to hit a goblin jumping around there, turning it into pieces.

"Magic. To be honest... I really want to keep their magical combat power to support the other side. But... there is no other way. Let the magician do it!"

Oren City brought not only 30,000 soldiers, but also the most scarce magicians of the Shem people. As people know, most of the magicians come from magic academies opened by the church in various places, so the church has a great influence on the magicians. After Sham and the church had an evil relationship, the number of magicians in their army immediately decreased sharply. This time, the church took the initiative to send reinforcements, so naturally this issue was taken into account. At this time, nearly twenty magicians had concentrated in the army, and had powerful magical combat power.

A whole team of mages wearing cloaks came to the front of the battle formation. At this time, the cannons had stopped firing, and the soldiers held their breath and waited for the magician to show their power. And the mages just now brought news that today's magic wind was very suitable for aggressive magic.

Deafening thunder sounded in the sky, and flames erupted in half-mile highlands, again and again, connecting continuously. Lightning fell on the edge of the flame fountain, like a blue-white serrated spear. From time to time, screams sounded, or charred corpses were bombarded into the sky, and then turned into pieces and sprinkled.

The storm of lightning and flames suddenly rose and stopped, and everything returned to silence. No trees ignited the flames on the high ground baptized by flames and thunderstorms. However, people could see some remaining goblins jumping from their hideouts in panic and fleeing back to the back with no life. Everyone knew that in the magic storm just now, the green skin stationed on the hillside was severely hit and suffered heavy losses.

"Infantry preparation..." A deputy general was stopped by Ke Mo just as he planned to give an order. "No, it's too early."

On the north side of the secondary battlefield, the two armies were still in stalemate. The Greenskins launched waves of attacks, but discipline suppressed the wildness, and the Greenskins' offensive was successfully blocked. They even failed to break through the first front of humans. In the face of the long halberd, musket, swords and shields, as well as the defense line composed of strong armor and firm confidence, the Greenskins' attack was as powerless as the waves washing the reefs.

"Sir! Now is a good opportunity to occupy the highlands!" the deputy general said anxiously.

"Yes, Greenskin thinks so too!" Kemo replied. "They will send the support troops up as fast as possible. Then... the magician can do what happened just now."

He is now beginning to believe that there are no shamans in the Greenskin Army. At least, the number will not be large, otherwise the other party will never be stingy with combat power in this critical place. This high ground is the key point in controlling the battle situation.

As Ke Mo expected, many green-skinned figures soon appeared on the high ground. Due to the protection of trees, it was vaguely difficult to see clearly. If he had ordered the infantry to attack just now, then the two armies had already begun to fight on the high ground.

Without orders, the magicians immediately launched the next round of attacks. They swept across the entire small high ground with the energy of destruction. Like just now, all the green skins who had escaped from magic turned around and ran away.

"Giant sword soldiers attack!" Ke Mo ordered.

A few minutes later, the elite warriors wearing exquisite armor and holding giant swords crossed the front line and began to advance towards the high ground. As expected, the green-skin support troops were replenishing this time. The giant sword soldiers only encountered the enemy when they advanced to the top of the high ground. The two sides were fighting on the high ground. Although they could not see the specific situation clearly, it was obvious that the giant sword warriors were still moving forward. They overwhelmed the enemy's resistance, crossed the top of the high ground, and moved forward.

For some reason, this gratifying scene made Ke Mo feel uneasy.

"Sir! The highland is under the control of our army!" A short time later, an officer reported to Ke Mo with an excited expression.

So smooth? No, it is Green Skin's resistance to weakness that is completely beyond imagination! Why? This should be the core of the entire battlefield, in other words, it is the key position that determines the victory or defeat. Occupying this position means that they are sure to win, and they cannot give up this position just like this!

"Order reinforcements to follow and pay attention to Greenskin's counterattack." Ke Mo ordered. Although the giant sword soldiers were the elite in the army, it was still surprising that they occupied the high ground with one attack.

"The remaining troops, all of them will keep up. Use the fastest speed to consolidate the defense of the highlands!" Ke Mo ordered. In this way, even if Green Skin has any tricks, he will not be able to use them.

...

Looking from the high ground, the vision is extremely good, and even the battles on the other side of the river are clear. The battles on the north bank are still very fierce. Every minute, soldiers fall down, and the front lines of both sides are entangled with each other like two snakes. Wailings and roars are intertwined into a ensemble of battlefields. Infantry vs. infantry, cavalry vs. cavalry, and cavalry, and both armies are fighting tenaciously. However, in this face-to-face position battle, the role of discipline is far stronger than bloodthirsty passion. Although a chariot or a few wild boar cavalry breaks through the front line and rushes in, the gaps they create are always blocked in time. Whenever a human soldier falls, his companions will calmly and quickly fill his position.

An experienced officer like Kemo could see that the church's elite troops had completely blocked the enemy, and were gradually grasping the situation and brewing a counterattack.

But the situation was completely different on the battle on the south side. The green skins in front were extremely weak, and they were not even able to launch a counterattack to try to capture.

"The number of green skins is not as high as imagined!" a deputy general murmured. The view on the high ground is wide, and now a group of generals, including Ke Mo, can see that the green skin on the north side is about 30,000 to 40,000, while the green skin on the face is only 10,000 or 20,000. Of course, it may be that the green skin hides some of the troops - but it is understandable to hide the troops before the war. Now that the formation of both sides has been completed, what is the meaning of this hiddenness?

Now we can understand why the resistance we encountered just now was so weak. This is because on the south side, Ke Mo is facing the enemy at this moment, with about half of the troops that are humans. Moreover, there are not many orcs, most of them are goblins.

"Sir, there are still many greenskins that have not yet been put into battle." Someone pointed to the battlefield on the north shore. Indeed, there are many troops in Greenskinskins. This is because the terrain is not large enough to put all the troops in one go, so these troops are temporarily waiting and watching.

"Sir, it's hard to pull the cannons up!" An officer reported. "Green skin dug a lot of holes... probably used to deal with our army's artillery fire... It's difficult to pull the cannons up to the high ground."
