Chapter 2736: Wolf Cavalry

The Gray Orc army surrounded the Dire Wolves' territory and captured the Dire Wolf leader alive, which caused the Dire Wolves outside to fall into chaos, and the wolf howling continued non-stop.

A few hours later, all the Dire Wolves had metal ring shackles on their necks. If one didn't understand alchemy, it was difficult to recognize the array patterns on the shackles.

The Dire Wolf tribe didn't want to sit and wait for death, but the Chaos Legion's notoriety was too great. Joining the Chaos Legion was almost equivalent to being hostile to all forces, so they chose this relatively compromise method.

Su Xiao didn't care how the Dire Wolf tribe cooperated. As long as the Dire Wolves could exert combat power on the battlefield, cooperating in the current way was fine.

【Prompt: The Hunter has formed an alliance with the Dire Wolf tribe and has signed the Wolf Blood Oath.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao's gaze turned to the one-eyed old wolf. The one-eyed old wolf's aura was a fraction weaker, and those wolf eyes were still full of anger, but the Wolf Blood Oath was the sincerity it displayed.

"Lock them up."

Under Su Xiao's order, several Gray Orcs locked the one-eyed old wolf and the Dire Wolf leader into two large iron cages. Seeing these two large iron cages, the one-eyed old wolf was truly shocked in its heart. The ally it had united with this time was truly too well-prepared.

Su Xiao walked out of the karst cave. In the sky-filling wind and snow, Gray Orcs were already riding on the backs of Dire Wolves. The Dire Wolves were clearly somewhat reluctant, but under the urging of the Dire Wolf leader, they could only choose to accept.

The number of the Dire Wolf tribe exceeded a million, but they couldn't all leave the territory. This time Su Xiao brought 540,000 Orc soldiers, and the shackles brought were 700,000, so at most 700,000 Dire Wolves could be taken away.

This number was enough. 540,000 Orcs + 540,000 Dire Wolves meant 540,000 Wolf Cavalry. When in the Tsar world, Su Xiao had discovered the power of cavalry; their charging ability, mobility, etc., were far superior to infantry.

The Dire Wolf tribe had been able to confront the Extreme Ice Lord for so many years, so their combat power could be imagined. Orc soldiers were already known for being warlike and brutal. After becoming Wolf Cavalry, the increase in combat power could be imagined.

Not only that, the Dire Wolves in the state of being ridden by Orc soldiers could also receive the War Lord's bonus. Gray Orcs + Dire Wolves was definitely not as simple as 1+1=2.

Besides these improvements, the most obvious change was the overall marching and charging formation. The biggest weakness of Gray Orcs was that they were difficult to command, becoming a messy mass after the war started. The Dire Wolves made up for this.

The Dire Wolf leader possessed strong mental power. It had a resonance at the bloodline level with ordinary Dire Wolves, which could be used to command the Dire Wolves to form various formations, thereby hunting.

Once the war started, the Dire Wolf leader would improve the cooperativeness of the Dire Wolves through bloodline resonance, but the ones controlling the Dire Wolves were still the Orc soldiers riding them. The Dire Wolf leader was only responsible for improving overall cooperativeness.

In this way, the Wolf Cavalry would be orderly when charging and could form various formations, causing heavy damage to the enemy army.

To put it popularly, the Gray Orc infantry had successfully promoted to become Wolf Cavalry.

This was not Su Xiao's metaphor, but was notarized by the Reincarnation Paradise. The data after detection was as follows:

Name: Wolf Cavalry

Strength: 140 (Real Attribute)

Agility: 142 (Real Attribute)

Stamina: 135 (Real Attribute)

Intelligence: 54

Charm: 2 (Caused by Gray Orcs)

Skill 1, Wolf Blood Oath (Passive, lv. 59): Health increased by 2700 points, overall cooperativeness increased by 30%.

Skill 2, Wolf Riding (Passive, lv. 59): Marching speed increased by 67%.

Skill 3, War Roar (Combo Skill, lv. 50): Gray Orcs let out a roar, causing a shock/dizziness effect within 30 meters.

Skill 4, Bite (Combo Skill, lv. 50): After the Gray Orcs let out a war roar, the Dire Wolves will carry the Gray Orcs to pounce on the enemy. After knocking the enemy to the ground, they will bite, causing high bleeding and tearing damage.

Skill 5, Fatal Strike (Combo Skill, lv. 50): After the Dire Wolf successfully knocks the enemy to the ground, the Gray Orc who ends the war roar will give the enemy a fatal blow. If this attack hits a vital part, damage is increased by 50%–65% (depending on the weapon used).

Skill 6, Blood-Bathed Battle (Title Class, Passive, lv. 40): Each attack on the enemy has a certain chance to absorb the enemy's life force, restoring one's own lost health.

Skill 7, Soul-Burning Power (Title Class, Passive, lv. 50): Weapons can be attached with Soul-Burning Power, adding 40 points of real damage when attacking. This ability will increase stamina consumption speed.

The reason Gray Orcs could directly promote to Wolf Cavalry had many necessary factors. First, both Gray Orcs and Dire Wolves were receiving the bonus of the War Lord title, which made the fit between the two have a qualitative change.

Because the Chaos Legion had been continuously defeated, the Gray Orcs who could survive until now were all accustomed to war, and they were veterans on the battlefield with rich combat experience.

As new partners, the Dire Wolves were not soft persimmons either. They were one of the overlords on the ice sheet. The harsh climate made them all very strong, and the weak individuals had long been eliminated.

At first glance, a single Wolf Cavalry didn't count for much in a Tier 7 world, but there were 540,000 Wolf Cavalry, and quantity formed a qualitative change.

On the ice sheet where the wind and snow whistled, Wolf Cavalry lined up in formations. Most Gray Orcs were still somewhat unaccustomed to the riding state, but the return journey would allow them to gradually adapt.

Two large iron cages were hanging on two War Treants, with the Dire Wolf leader and the one-eyed old wolf inside. From beginning to end, the Dire Wolf leader only watched; the one who decided everything was the one-eyed old wolf.

After the whole army gathered, they returned along the original path, heading toward the direction of the "Ice Hoof Fortress."

Besides the Dire Wolves being ridden, there were 160,000 Dire Wolves with shackles on their necks following. They were all dejected, looking like they had been controlled.

A War Treant strode forward, with Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and Amu all standing on its crown.

"Boss, the Ice Hoof Fortress is blocking at least 1.2 million Alliance troops. Is there any problem?"

Baha landed on Amu's shoulder, shaking the snow off his wings.

"The garrison there has probably withdrawn more than half."

"Withdrawn?"

"The Extreme Ice Lord will not allow the Alliance army to block outside his 'home'."

"Oh—"

Baha suddenly realized. The Six-Race Alliance was not a monolithic block; this point was easy to judge. The Ice Hoof Fortress being broken was already very embarrassing. If they let the Alliance army block outside the Ice Hoof Fortress again, the Extreme Ice Lord would lose face completely.

Moreover, Su Xiao had forcibly charged through the Ice Hoof Fortress earlier just to avoid completely angering the Extreme Ice Lord, so as not to have the other side dispatch troops from Winter City at all costs.

If Su Xiao had done something when he arrived, the Extreme Ice Lord would have mobilized all the troops in the Northern Border to encircle and suppress Su Xiao's Orc army.

The Wolf Cavalry's marching speed was extremely fast, so fast that even the War Treants couldn't keep up. After becoming familiar with the Dire Wolves beneath them, the Gray Orcs were all very happy. They didn't have to run themselves; they just needed an order to go wherever they wanted.

The Wolf Cavalry army marched at high speed and soon arrived at the area near the Ice Hoof Fortress. In the wind and snow, several Northern Border scouts saw this scene and immediately reported to their superiors.

A few minutes later, the deputy commander inside the Ice Hoof Fortress knew the news. This deputy commander had a gloomy face. He knew that the opportunity to wash away the previous shame had come. The 300,000 Ice-born soldiers just pulled over were the key to his ability to guard the "Ice Hoof Fortress." He only needed to block them, and the troops within the territory would quickly come to reinforce, blocking the War Demon's legion from front and back.

The deputy commander stood on the rear wall of the "Ice Hoof Fortress." The hole that had just been blocked on the city wall was particularly eye-catching. Alas, he couldn't wait for Su Xiao to attack the Ice Hoof Fortress at all. ===== CHAPTER 2737 =====
