The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 760 Pig Rider Charge!

"Run, run, run!" Alistar heard the crackling sound of arrows falling from above. He wasn't stupid; staying on the shore after two rounds of arrows would be a fool!

"Those Eastern barbarians are catching up!" the goblin knight scout reported.

"I see it! Halt! Form ranks!" Alistar grinned menacingly. The Dongyi people, rowing frantically, had already crossed more than half the river, and most of their rafts were almost ashore. The Dongyi chariot warriors, now relaxed and unprepared, were simply firing arrows at the goblin knights.

"Javelin!" Alistar pulled out a javelin and threw it with all his might.

"Whoosh~" A tooth-grinding sound of something cutting through the air rang out. The Dongyi chariot warriors, who were throwing their weapons with all their might, couldn't help but look up at the sky. When they saw clearly what the small black dot falling from the sky was, these Dongyi chariot warriors were instantly terrified!

"Pfft!"

"laugh!"

When the Dongyi archers, whether professionals or ordinary soldiers, were shooting with their bodies tilted back, they were as fragile as paper when faced with the powerful and heavy javelins enhanced by battle aura!
"Hehe~" The wounded soldiers of the Dongyi chariots lying on the raft struggled in their death throes, a string of blood bubbles coming out of their mouths and a series of gurgling sounds. Their blood flowed into the river through the gaps in the raft, once again dyeing the river a beautiful pink color.

"Splash!" The surviving Dongyi chariot warriors gritted their teeth and, ignoring their comrades who had already turned cold on the raft, pushed their comrades' corpses into the river to reduce their weight. As the bodies entered the water, the river's color became even more vibrant.

"Bang!" The first raft successfully reached the shore, crashing into the riverbank and causing it to roll backward a few feet due to the recoil.

"Shield wall! Shield wall!" The Dongyi chariot people who had come ashore did not lose their temper, or rather, they remained rational. They knew that they could not fight against those low-lying cavalrymen on their own, so they rallied together on the riverbank and formed a shield formation to defend themselves.

“The enemy isn’t stupid! It seems there’s no hope of annihilating another wave of vanguard!” Alistar said with some regret. Although the three-round javelin took away thousands of Dongyi chariot warriors, they also consumed incredibly precious battle energy! The enemy’s vanguard was boundless, but their goblin knights had an end, and Alistar wasn’t so insane as to trade goblin knights for ordinary Dongyi barbarians.

"Retreat!" Alistar obeyed without hesitation. When the rain of arrows came down, Alistar knew he had to leave. If he didn't leave, he would become a target, and he had no interest in being shot at!
"Turn around! Throw your spear!" Alistar's ability to seize opportunities was absolutely superb. The moment the goblin knight turned to leave, the Eastern Barbarians instantly lowered their guard, and the originally heavily guarded shield formation instantly became sparse and leaky on all sides!

When the distinctive whistling sound of goblin knights' javelins piercing the air rang out again, these Dongyi chariot warriors nearly collapsed! This volley of javelins had taken the lives of at least several hundred more Dongyi chariot warrior soldiers, especially the archers in the back, whose casualties were so severe that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.

"Kill them! Kill them all!" Faced with the horrific carnage and piercing screams, the Eastern Barbarian vanguard commander turned red with rage! These terrifying green-skinned dwarves were slowly eroding the vanguard's morale with their eerie javelins...

"...Your Highness! These rats are truly everywhere!" Omske was carrying the corpse of a falcon, and at his feet lay a Dongyi falconer with his limbs twisted, but from his trembling body, it was clear that he was still alive.

"Hoo!" Adolf Heinrich pressed one hand down on his head, his powerful mental energy directly invading his mind. At this moment, Roland didn't care about humanity anymore! He did whatever was convenient! Adolf Heinrich directly invaded his mental world, his eyes flashing a few times, and the Eastern Yi falcon trainer in front of him became an idiot. After all, Adolf Heinrich's forced memory reading was a forbidden technique! A person stimulated by powerful mental energy could only end up as an idiot.

"Bang!" The Eastern Yi falconer's head suddenly exploded. Adolf Heinrich, standing beside him, calmly activated his magic shield. Apart from being splashed with brain matter and blood, he was unaffected.

"Tsk! I just read his memories, and these people have indeed been monitoring us here for a long time! Moreover, they have already spread the news about our army!" Adolf Heinrich waved his hand, and the bloodstains and tissue on the shield slid off instantly.

"Looks like our cover-up failed?" Roland sighed, clinging to a sliver of hope. He had originally thought he could build Lagrange City undetected! But now the Eastern Barbarians knew better than he did when he should arrive...

"It seems we have no choice but to fight them to the death!" Roland said bitterly, frowning.

"That's right! Weiss, you can go to the front line first to practice! Time is limited, they can't possibly transport this heavy siege weapon over! You go first! Eliminate the enemy's stronghold!" Roland gave a flash of inspiration and began to command methodically.

"Caslo, don't move! You stay and guard the center!" Roland looked at Caslo with trust. It was quite comfortable to let Weiss "slaughter the newbies and grab the fries" against the Eastern Barbarian vanguard, which lacked air superiority. Not only could it hone Weiss's skills, but it would also improve his mental fortitude! Caslo didn't really need that. After all, what would a battle-hardened dragon rider do here? Compete with newbies for "fries"?
"Alas, I too have the potential to become a renowned general!" Roland exclaimed, gazing at the surging river after using its water as a mirror.

"Absolutely impossible!" Luke Leopold and Merk Leopold exclaimed amidst the puzzled gazes of the others. Did they not know Roland's true nature, even if others did? Roland was, at best, a huge makeshift operation! If they could rely on him for everything, his ministers wouldn't exist.

"..." Roland felt a surge of anger rising in his chest after being confronted by the two brothers. Even if he was terrible, he shouldn't be someone they considered utterly impossible.

……

"They've formed ranks?" Alistar stared at the goblin scouts in front of him, lost in thought. The first group of Dongyi chariot warriors to land had already begun to form ranks, and the chariots behind them were still being transported inland one by one from the wide river. It seemed that these Dongyi people who had left their chariots would not launch an attack until all the chariots were in place.

"Form ranks! Prepare to charge! Let them know what happens when they underestimate us! Crush this turtle shell! Let them understand their defenses are not impenetrable!" Alistar commanded. Though the boar riders were short, their charge was incredibly powerful! No one doubted the impact of these knights, who were considered on par with human and death knights, especially when it came to breaking through infantry phalanxes! The Knights were natural-born disruptors! They were no exception!

"Form ranks! Charge! Speed! Speed! Be efficient! We are reputable goblin mercenaries! Don't let Lord Roland look down on us! Show our spirit! Crush their defenses in one volley!" Alistar quickly rallied the troops, moving to the very tip of the wedge formation. He would become the spearhead, charging towards the enemy!
