Opening a fantasy anime world with the style of Mount & Blade

He simply couldn't believe that someone would dare to break the rule of not attending the Makgora ceremony and instead choose to launch a sneak attack, which was utterly unsportsmanlike!

Seeing the incredulous look in the green-skinned orc's eyes, Liu Tianyu coldly said:

"All's fair in war! Besides, the Magora ceremony is your custom, not ours! Am I supposed to follow any moral principles when dealing with a bunch of invaders like you?"

Having said that, he flung the orc, whose lance was piercing him, onto the snow, where the orc rolled several times.

They were stunned! Whether they were orcs or adventurers, no one could have imagined that Liu Tianyu would suddenly launch an attack!

But whether they were confused or stunned, Liu Tianyu's troops would never be in this situation.

Upon receiving Liu Tianyu's order, nine Nord Royal Guards, four Kingdom Swordsmen, and eight Kingdom Regulars roared battle cries and quickly followed Liu Tianyu's lead.

This caught the orcs, who were watching the Magora ceremony, completely off guard! Several orcs were cut down and fell to the ground, their fate unknown.

"Waaagh! You damned shrimps, how dare you launch a sneak attack! I'll tear you to pieces!"

"You despicable humans, I will kill you all! I will slaughter you all!"

After the initial shock, the remaining orcs quickly realized what was happening.

Whether they were native black-skinned orcs or green-skinned orcs from Draenor, they were all filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could tear Liu Tianyu and his troops to shreds!

"Hey! Don't just stand there, come and kill the orcs! After we've dealt with these orcs, we'll go and kill the orc swordsman who started this!"

Seeing the orcs who wanted to tear him apart, Liu Tianyu pulled on the reins and rode Snow Shadow away from the orcs' encirclement.

Just kidding, cavalry without impact is no better than heavy infantry. How could he possibly give up his advantages and fight these orcs to the death?

"Yeah, yeah! Don't forget, we're enemies with these orcs! Why worry about anything else!"

"As expected of Viscount Storm, he is indeed resourceful. First, he sent that weirdo Goblin Slayer to hold off the Orc Sword Saint, and now he took advantage of the Orcs' unpreparedness to wipe them out and minimize the losses. He truly lives up to his noble status!"

"Go! Go! Go! After we've dealt with these damned orcs, we'll make that orc swordsman pay for his crimes in blood!"

The adventurers then realized their mistake and went from being dissatisfied with Liu Tianyu at the beginning to being completely convinced of his abilities.

Although the methods were somewhat dirty, they did reduce their casualties. Given that, do they still have any reason to criticize Liu Tianyu?

"Essence of frost, heed my prayer, transform into a spear, Ice Spear!"

"Whoosh whoosh—"

"Hey! Orc, I didn't get to enjoy my fight with you enough just now!"

The mages and archers in the back row aimed at the orcs and fired directly, while the warriors or knights in the front row excitedly charged into the enemy ranks and fought alongside the orcs.

The orcs, who were already outnumbered, were caught off guard by Liu Tianyu and were put at a disadvantage from the very beginning of the battle.

At the beginning, when the orcs had the advantage in numbers, they were unable to defeat the adventurers, who numbered less than half as many as them. It was only thanks to Togala that they were able to turn the tide.

Right now, Togala is engaged in the Magora ritual with Goblin Slayer and has no time to worry about them.

Now, with Liu Tianyu leading regular troops into the fray, the battle has become almost one-sided.

"Puff puff"

The regular soldiers of the three kingdoms gripped their 1.8-meter-long halberds and pierced the chest of a green-skinned orc from three different directions.

"Cough cough cough, you wretched humans!"

The green-skinned orc, whose chest had been pierced by three halberds, still had a ferocious look on his face, his scarlet eyes seemingly ready to devour anyone. However, the fallen battle axe in his hand symbolized the irreversible loss of his life force.

"puff"

Three halberds were pulled from his chest, which had been ripped open with six large holes, and the green-skinned orc's body collapsed limply to the ground. However, his scarlet eyes remained wide open, refusing to close.

"Waaagh! You bunch of untrustworthy humans, take this!"

A dark-skinned orc let out a deafening roar and swung his axe at the nearest Nord royal guard.

The Nord Royal Guard's eyes were cold. He raised the Royal Guard's Round Shield with his left hand and easily blocked the dark-skinned orc's angry attack. With a turn of his body, the Germanic sword in his right hand was already slashing towards the orc's stomach.

With a "sizzle," a wound instantly ripped open in the black-skinned orc's stomach, and dark red blood gushed out of the wound as if it were free.

"Ah! It's not over yet!"

Ignoring the blood flowing from his stomach, the dark-skinned orc continued to howl and swing his axe at the striped armor of the Nord royal guards.

"Clang!" Sparks flew as the axe struck the striped armor; the axe became stuck in the armor and was difficult to pull out.

Meanwhile, the Germanic sword of the Nord royal guard struck the skull of the dark-skinned orc, producing a terrifying "crunch".

"Uh-huh!"

The dark-skinned orc finally couldn't hold on any longer, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the ground.

Overall, Liu Tianyu's troops held the advantage, but this advantage did not mean they were safe. Some of them were seriously injured or even killed by the enraged orcs.

"Ahhh! My hand!"

A halberd of a regular soldier of the kingdom was clamped between the flesh of a green-skinned orc with bloodshot eyes that radiated a bloodthirsty light, and then he dragged his wounded body and pounced directly on the regular soldier of the kingdom.

After a flash of cold light, the hands of the kingdom's regular soldier holding the halberd instantly fell to the ground, and warm blood gushed out from the severed arm.

He was in so much pain that he screamed and then fainted.

"Even if I die, you'll come to hell with me! Damn humans!"

One of the green-skinned orcs had gone almost insane. The demonic blood in his body had practically taken over his head, causing him to abandon all means of defense and swing his battle axe so wildly that it was almost a blur.

All I ask for is to kill, no, to exchange for the kingdom's swordsman before me!

The kingdom's swordsman struggled against the green-skinned orc's almost frenzied attacks, but the agility of a two-handed greatsword was ultimately no match for that of a sword and shield.

Moreover, the green-skinned orc in front of him looked like he was risking his life for his own. No matter how elite he was, he still valued his life after all!

With a "clang," the Kingdom Swordsman finally suffered a setback. His two-handed greatsword was deflected by the green-skinned orc's battle axe. Then, the green-skinned orc roared furiously and swung his battle axe at the Kingdom Swordsman's face, which was exposed by his helmet.

With a "splat," blood splattered across the kingdom's swordsman's face, and he collapsed onto the cold snow.

"The tide has turned against them, yet they still dare to be arrogant!"

Seeing the orcs who were surrounded but still fighting desperately, Liu Tianyu rode Snow Shadow and launched another round of spear-wielding charges, once again stringing the most active orc together like a candied hawthorn.

"Shameless humans! AAA!"

The green-skinned orc, his lance impaled, opened his crimson eyes wide and roared at Liu Tianyu. Then, with his last ounce of strength, he hurled his battle axe at Liu Tianyu.

The battle axe clattered into Liu Tianyu's plate armor, breaking through its defenses, but was then caught in the middle layer of chainmail.

"Yes! I disrupted your Magora ritual, which was indeed quite shameless! But aren't you, as invaders, also shameless?"

Liu Tianyu's eyes beneath his winged helmet were quite cold, and his tone was even more devoid of warmth.

"you you……"

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's words, the green-skinned orc, who had been struggling desperately, suddenly stopped struggling as if his weakness had been struck, and his scarlet eyes lost their light.

Before long, the twenty-odd orcs that had been surrounding Togala were all lying on the ground, dead or seriously wounded, none of them escaping unscathed.

However, they also fully demonstrated the spirit of a cornered beast fighting to the death. Of the ten adventurers who were originally able to fight, only five are still standing.

Meanwhile, one of the Nord royal guards brought by Liu Tianyu was seriously injured and fell to the ground.

Two kingdom swordsmen were killed in a desperate counterattack by three orcs.

As for the kingdom's regular army, their polearms were indeed a counter to the orcs' one-handed weapons.

But these orcs acted as if they didn't care about their lives. Even after being ripped open by halberds, they still roared and fought fiercely, killing two regular soldiers of the kingdom and leaving two others seriously wounded and lying on the ground.

"Quickly! Take a headcount! All Nord Royal Guards, come with me to support Ark! The rest of you stay and take care of the wounded!"

Liu Tianyu ignored the black blood on his body, and instead pulled on Xueying's reins, shouting loudly.

Although he was busy dealing with the orcs, Liu Tianyu's gaze never left the Makgora ritual being performed by Togala and the Goblin Slayer.

While he was dealing with the group, Goblin Slayer and Togara's Mak'gora ritual was coming to an end.

"Cough cough cough..."

Goblin Slayer was kicked away by Togara, coughing up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Goblin Slayer was now in a terrible state; his armor, covered in filth and oil, was tattered and had turned into pieces of metal stuck to his body.

The chainmail in the middle layer was torn in several places, and even the innermost leather armor was reduced to tattered strips.

The helmet that he always wore was lying not far away, covered with marks of all sizes.

His otherwise handsome face now bears a deep, bone-revealing scar. If this scar were an inch higher, his left eye would either have an additional scar or he would lose his sight.

On the other hand, Togala was panting heavily, and a short sword, broken in half, was stuck in his chest.

Besides that, his flaked greatsword is now almost completely broken, with pits and craters everywhere, as if it will shatter into pieces and fall to the ground at any moment.

Compared to Goblin Slayer, whose entire body was covered in wounds and whose consciousness was almost blurred, Togara's condition could at most be considered as minor injuries plus a little exhaustion.

"Cough cough cough! I, I can't fall down yet!"

Goblin Slayer coughed up another mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, and with all his might, he used his hands to support himself on the snow, trembling as he tried to stand up again.

A closer look reveals that Goblin Slayer's eyes are actually glazed over, but his spirit is still desperately trying to keep him standing!

"Phew... It's over. Ark, I must say, your willpower and tenacity are among the best I've encountered in my decades of experience!"

But the victor of this Magora ceremony can only be me, Togala!

Togala, panting heavily, dragged his nearly broken greatsword as he approached the Goblin Slayer, who had risen again, step by step.

His eyes were fixed on Goblin Slayer, filled with admiration, regret, but even more so with determination!

As an old swordsman, Togara may have lost some of his fighting power, but his willpower is as hard as steel!

He would not let his opponent go just because he admired them; that would not only be disrespectful to his opponent, but also a desecration of the Magora ritual!

"Da da da" "I'm sorry, Togala, it seems you won't be able to complete the Makgora ritual!"

Just as Togala was about to swing his soon-to-disintegrate greatsword to cut off Goblin Slayer's head and complete the Mak'gora ritual.

A rapid sound of hooves, accompanied by a young male voice, instantly drew Togala's attention.

Almost instinctively, Togala swung his sword toward the source of the sound, and the greatsword, which was on the verge of disintegration, flashed red light once more.

"clang"

In the blink of an eye, Liu Tianyu's heavy hand-and-a-half sword collided with Togala's greatsword.

Sensing the astonishing force emanating from the heavy hand-and-a-half sword, Liu Tianyu was shocked, and his gaze toward Togara was filled with disbelief.

If his opponent hadn't been right in front of him, Liu Tianyu would probably have thought he was charging into a kingdom's armored cavalry!

Even more surprisingly, Togara's power was still increasing rapidly, surging, and exploding! It seemed poised to overpower Xueying.

With a "crack," after ten seconds of confrontation between the heavy hand-and-a-half sword and the greatsword, the greatsword finally let out a mournful cry of being overwhelmed.

With a "crack," it shattered. After cutting a notch into the heavy hand-and-a-half sword in Liu Tianyu's hand, Togala's already battered greatsword finally broke into pieces on the ground!

Beat up the drowning dog!

The thought flashed through Liu Tianyu's mind, and then he spurred Xueying's horse and rammed it hard into Togala.

With a "bang," Togara, who had lost his weapon and was in a daze, was no match for Liu Tianyu and Xueying, whose combined weight was close to one ton. He was sent flying.

"Uh-huh!"

Having been knocked more than ten meters away, Togala now understood the feelings of Goblin Slayer. Already old and frail, he had long since exhausted his strength after the series of attrition battles.

Faced with Xueying's charge, he coughed up a mouthful of dark green blood, struggled, and finally managed to get up from the snow.

"You! Liu Tianyu! How dare you desecrate the orcish Makgora ritual?!"

After getting up from the ground, Togala wiped the green blood from the corner of his mouth and glared at Liu Tianyu with a furious expression.

If looks could kill, Liu Tianyu would probably have been torn to pieces by now!

"That's your orcish traditional ritual, not mine! Besides, you are the invaders, and my relentless resistance against the invaders is also a way of protecting my homeland!"

Facing Togala's murderous gaze, Liu Tianyu met it without fear and slowly spoke, word by word.

"Surrender, Togala! You are now at your last gasp! And your men have already been annihilated by my forces."

If you surrender obediently, I can assure you that I will preserve the honor that belongs to you and the survivors, to all warriors!

Looking at the swaying body of Togala, Liu Tianyu began to persuade him to surrender.
