Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

With Muradin's pre-battle mobilization concluded, the dwarves were filled with morale, roaring and glaring at the overwhelming demon army ahead through the gaps in their shields.

The wave of red monsters surged into the canyon like blood, the blood-colored banners sewn with human skin obscuring the dim sky, creating an apocalyptic scene across the entire battlefield.

The first to charge were undoubtedly the Chaos War Hounds with their hideous fangs and claws. Each of these war hounds was over 1.5 meters long, and when they leaped, they were even taller than the dwarves.

They were agile, inherently cruel, and once they bit into a target's thigh, they would not stop until they tore off a large chunk of bloody flesh.

Just as they roared and howled as they charged, thunderous sounds erupted across the battlefield, one after another.

Instantly, a large number of projectiles shot out from behind the dwarven formation. Countless Chaos War Hounds were instantly torn apart by the projectiles. Their flesh and blood bodies were no match for such terrifying damage. Most of their bodies were shattered by the large-caliber firearms. The powerful killing power granted by the firearms meant that any projectile that hit the monster's body would tear it apart from head to toe, leaving behind terrifying wounds.

A single volley from the Thunderers caused the dense wave of monsters to lose dozens of war hounds.

The dwarves at the front immediately raised their battle axes, excitedly cheering and waving their arms: "Well done! Teach these monsters a lesson!"

"Again! Again!"

The deafening thunder responded to their requests. Smoke filled the air behind the dwarven formation as hundreds of Thunderers fired again in succession. Amidst the huge explosions, lead pellets fell like hail, and arrows like rain. The monsters suffered heavy losses.

Many of the Chaos War Hounds didn't even have a chance to get close to the dwarven formation before being shot down. Some cowardly or wounded monsters even howled in terror and turned to flee, collapsing and scattering.

The power of the dwarven firearms truly amazed the human knights. No wonder this was the unique extraordinary power of the dwarven race.

However, in this dark world where all sorts of demons and monsters roamed, it was never possible to rely solely on ranged attacks to stop the tide of monsters.

Although many Chaos War Hounds were frightened and fled, the Flesh Hounds in the red tide were not affected in the slightest.

These monsters were no longer mortal. They were all demons under Khorne's command. Their size far exceeded the most ferocious war hounds of the mortal world, even larger than a bull, which was why they could carry the Bloodletters wielding two-handed greatswords.

However, few Bloodletters were fierce enough or powerful enough to tame these giant hounds. Any Bloodletter who trespassed into a Flesh Hound nest in the Chaos Wastes would be torn to pieces by these behemoths.

Even the giant Bloodthirsters would engage in fierce battles with these hounds, like a battle between giants, with the loser becoming the winner's meal.

These Flesh Hounds were the demons most hated by mages, wizards, and dragons, not only because their thick limbs made them extremely fast, but also because the Flesh Hounds had huge steel and brass collars on their backs, as if they were growing there. This was Khorne's blessing. It could not only defend against physical damage from enemies, but also resist various spells and mental attacks.

These Flesh Hounds feared no powerful mages and could tear them apart before they could even cast powerful spells.

Now encountering the dwarves, both sides possessed anti-magic physiques, making them natural enemies. The lead bullets from the firearms bounced off their brass collars.

The massive hounds, over a meter tall, roared and charged into the dwarven formation, where they were immediately blocked by the shield wall. The mountain shield formation demonstrated its unparalleled effectiveness. No matter how large the monster's body, it could not directly shake the steel shield formation formed by dozens of dwarves.

The dwarven formation did not budge, while the steel-like monsters were dazed by the impact. Many monsters even piled up like a mountain in front of the mountain shield formation. The monsters behind jumped directly from the dwarf-piled hill in front, and then crashed into the dwarven shield wall, fighting with the dwarves wielding giant axes.

Both sides were extremely tenacious and bloodthirsty, and the battle was like a huge collision between iron stakes.

The monsters' claws and steel teeth scratched the dwarves' plate armor, making ear-piercing tearing sounds, while the dwarves' battle axes chopped at their backs as if they were chopping at steel bars and iron bones.

A black and a red army immediately engaged in a fierce battle on the gloomy, dark gray, lead-like battlefield of the Gray Mountains.

The dwarven firearms continued to fire, and thunderous lead bullets repeatedly hit the monsters' bodies, with blood flying across the battlefield.

Muradin, the powerful dwarven commander, was the focus of the battlefield. As a dwarven general, he possessed two shield bearers based on his strength and qualifications. This greatly enhanced the general's combat power, defense, and resilience.

This was a unique demonstration of the dwarven race's abilities. To enhance the combat power of dwarven heroes, a general or lord might stand on a shield to fight.

Ordinary generals were carried by two loyal and powerful servants, who possessed the unique ability of [Officer, Watch Out!]. They could share their vision with their master through the shield, ensuring that the dwarven general would never be ambushed.

At the same time, they could each use their combat skills, strength, initiative, and attack attributes with the general on the shield.

This made Muradin, standing on the shield, transform into a terrifying killing machine. Monsters that ordinary dwarves had to fight fiercely to kill were completely vulnerable under his battle axe. Every time he swung his battle axe, a Flesh Hound was killed by him.

Even when facing the siege of three Flesh Hounds, he was able to handle them with ease. With a single whirlwind slash, he killed all three monsters in less than a second!

Another champion-level dwarven ranger, Dogrin, also roared on the battlefield with a unique dwarven deep voice, like a hero unit. He held a large-caliber dwarven firearm in his left hand, boldly approaching the monster's head and firing at close range, directly blasting the monster's brains out. In his right hand, he held a terrifying war hammer, and every time he swung it, he would smash a pouncing Flesh Hound to the ground.

Under their encouragement, the dwarves roared as they fought, battle axes flew, and countless Flesh Hounds fell, but the dwarven line remained unbroken. If the monsters relied only on Chaos War Hounds and Flesh Hounds, they would definitely not be able to shake their defenses in the slightest.

This ultra-lightly armored unit was excellent in pursuit, but to directly collide with the copper walls and iron walls formed by the round, heavily armored dwarves, they would only end up with broken heads and bleeding faces.

The battle raged for several minutes. Although the monsters left various hideous wounds on the dwarves, causing a large number of injuries and bleeding, they had not yet managed to bite any heavily armored dwarf to death.

This made Muradin excitedly wave his battle axe on the shield and roar at the top of his lungs: "Ahahaha! Damn monsters, keep coming! Let me show you the power of the dwarven battle axe!"

Su Li and Hilde stood one in front of the other on the cliff, watching the fierce battle line below. Su Li couldn't help but sigh: "These round, heavily armored dwarves are like iron stakes. They are much more resilient than our human infantry."

On the same defensive line, the human infantry was deployed on the left flank, and the time of engagement was slightly later, but the line looked much more chaotic than the dwarves'.

In the fierce front line, the two sides were intertwined and fighting each other, completely unable to maintain the formation like the dwarves.

And this was still the effect of Commander Orstein personally leading the battle as a foot knight.

Hilde comforted Su Li: "It's already very difficult for the territory's armed retainers to fight against Khorne's demons head-on like this. After all, they are just ordinary humans, and those extraordinary elites have all been selected into the cavalry."

Su Li nodded slightly. Indeed, one couldn't ask too much of the armed retainers.

If they weren't all followers of the Goddess of the Blazing Sun, receiving good training on weekdays, and going to the church on rest days to receive the blessings of God-chosen priests, who would dare to imagine that giving an ordinary human a spear would allow them to fight the terrifying demons head-on?

The courage itself of humans to stand in this dark world was already like demons and gods.

But this desperate world was always so ruthless. A frayed rope always breaks at the thinnest point, and misfortune always finds the suffering.

The human defense line was already precarious, but the demon army insisted on choosing this place to break through.

A powerful Chaos Champion personally wielding a giant axe, riding a huge Flesh Hound, charged out from the monster horde and directly crashed into the human defense line.

He held a pair of bronze giant axes burning with flames in each hand, and the axe blades flew in the crowd, instantly chopping off four heads!

Even on the cliffs, Su Li could feel the fear of the human armed retainers below. A dozen armed retainers blocking in front of him held their spears tremblingly, retreating step by step in fear.

This made the Khorne Champion laugh excitedly: "Hahaha, I can already feel your disgusting cowardly aura! I will chop you all into pieces! To complete my quota of chopping off 200 heads today!"

Chop off 200 heads!

This was not impossible for the Khorne Champion to achieve.

In a battle of equals, a God-chosen or Champion favored by Khorne could often rampage on the battlefield, wielding a slaughtering giant blade, and the number of kills he achieved was more than a squadron of demons.

If he was really allowed to slaughter wantonly, the human army might suffer heavy losses!

So Orstein held his war hammer and charged directly. He suddenly jumped up and slammed his war hammer **** the monster's mount's head.

Shoot the horse first, capture the leader first.

This champion of the Goddess of the Blazing Sun always perfectly used various tactics in battle.

The Flesh Hound obviously couldn't withstand such a fierce attack, and its limbs went limp, swaying and falling down.

Without giving it a chance to stand up, the lion-mastiff beast of Orstein Knight pounced on its body, and frantically tore at its spine.

The Khorne Champion holding the axe was immediately furious, and raised the blood-stained axe to chop the beast into pieces!

But Orstein Knight was also very fast, he did not stop the axe, but smashed the war hammer directly towards the opponent's head.

He was betting that the war had just begun, and the opponent had not yet chopped to his heart's content, and would never be willing to fall so easily.

The followers of the Goddess of the Blazing Sun always planned everything before the battle, and were good at crushing their opponents with overwhelming tactical advantages.

And everything was as he expected, the Khorne Champion's blood-red eyes were filled with the desire to kill, and he was completely unwilling to fall so easily.

He could only withdraw the axe, and one hand blocked Orstein Knight's war hammer, and the other hand waved the axe towards Orstein Knight's head, only defending and not attacking, that was not the creed of the Khorne Champion.

He roared angrily: "I will chop you all into pieces, and use your heads to please the great Blood God."

This is the doctrine of Khorne, mercy is the excuse of the weak. Do not let go of any prey, otherwise you will become the prey of the Blood God!

In his angry roar, the war hammer and the giant axe intersected, and the two staggered back a few steps at the same time.

At this moment, the two finally began to treat each other seriously and solemnly.

On this bloody battlefield, the champion warriors of the Goddess of the Blazing Sun and the Blood God Khorne launched a fierce battle.

Su Li watched the thrilling scene on the cliff, the power of the monster army was far beyond his imagination!

A random demon could actually fight fiercely with the strongest champion commander of the Black Forest, and looking down from a high place, he saw golden auras and blood-colored axe blades opening and closing in the open battlefield, fighting flesh to flesh. Orstein Knight was knocked flying from time to time, and the Khorne Champion was knocked down again and again. If it were anyone else, they would have been chopped into pieces in this terrible offensive, but the two were still roaring and fighting, without a trace of pause.

Su Li took a deep breath and asked Hilde: "Aren't we going to execute the tactics yet? If Commander Orstein is killed in battle, then our losses in this battle will be too great."

Hilde said firmly: "It's not time yet, Commander Orstein must persevere, he still has the Earth Blood Potion in his hand, and he won't fall so easily."

Su Li only felt his scalp tingle and asked: "How long are we going to wait? A Khorne Champion is so terrifying, I can't imagine how powerful the huge Khorne God-chosen is."

Hilde frowned and looked into the distance, the thirty-meter-tall Khorne God-chosen was advancing rapidly in the huge wave, he had no procrastination, which meant that these monsters rushing over were just appetizers for the blood tide!

Hilde said solemnly: "Although the followers of Khorne sometimes see him appear in the world in the form of terrible hounds, huge mastiffs, and wild bulls, in fact, there are very few animals directly related to him. Only some animals are sometimes driven to the forefront of the battle when his army fights, which means that these animals are more likely to be simply slaughtered in the glory of Khorne."

"So we must withstand the first wave of these monsters before we face the main force of the monsters. Executing tactics now is equivalent to ending the battle before we have engaged the monsters. The main force of the monster army will bypass this valley buried by rocks and continue to advance south to the Blood Highlands. We must let the main force of the monsters in and severely damage them in order to completely drive out this demon army!"

Upon hearing this, Su Li felt the blood in his body run cold. The war was already so terrifying, and it hadn't even reached the true stage of battle? Were all these monsters just appetizers driven by the Blood God to bask in his glory?

Su Li somewhat regretted getting involved in this war! Did this world not have anyone to stop these rampaging demons without him? The empire wouldn't collapse without him.

However, he wasn't so fragile, and he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Indeed, he wasn't the only protagonist who could save the world. Without him in the southwest and southeast of the empire, humanity could still stabilize the situation and gradually contain the rampaging monsters.

But in the Gray Mountain Province, if he didn't intervene, Redbeard Fortress and many other dwarven fortresses would likely disappear silently under the demons' rampage.

Once the rampaging demon legions marched south, he would have no ability to resist!

In this dark world, humans and dwarves must unite and help each other to resist the darkness and survive together.

Just like on the battlefield at this moment, when the human lines were in danger, the dwarves did not stand idly by.

More than a dozen dwarven blaster miners, disregarding the risks, crossed the battlefield and appeared in the jagged human lines. They suddenly threw terrifying blasting explosive packs towards the front of the battle line, where the monsters were most densely packed.

In earth-shattering roars, bursts of flames exploded, and countless demon monsters were directly blown to pieces!

This huge blow and terrifying roar instantly triggered the fear in the instincts of the beast genes, and a large number of hounds howled, their fur standing on end, and fled in panic.

More than forty Bloodletter cavalry and Red Crown cultists, who were fighting fiercely in the human lines, also had their mounts startled and fled in panic.

Knight Orstein decisively seized the moment when the enemy's morale wavered and suddenly erupted. The lion's flames on his body soared, and the warhammer in his hand burst out with surging golden light, directly hitting the Khornate Champion's chest.

This heavily armored strong man, more than two meters tall, was directly smashed more than eight meters away, and the powerful enchanted armor on his body also showed a huge dent, and his chest was completely crushed flat.

Knight Orstein continued to rush forward violently, stepping on his body, and the golden light shining warhammer in his hand smashed down again and again, monster flesh and blood flying everywhere, and his entire head was completely smashed!

In this duel between the champion of the Blazing Sun Goddess and the champion of Khorne, Knight Orstein finally won by chopping off the monster's head, holding up his blood-red giant helmet, roaring to the sky, and shouting in triumph!

The demons' hounds did not even dare to look back, and fled the battlefield in fear.

But before the humans and dwarves could catch their breath, a huge black shadow burning with blood and fire enveloped the entire battlefield!
