Chapter 703: Longing for Snow Shame

Affected by this defeat, some tribes in the northern tip of Karelia tried to attack the cities of Karelia in the hope of plundering the rich booty from this part of Karelia.

This is a habit that has been cultivated in the time of the Attila Empire, or even earlier, the barren land and cold climate cannot feed their tribes, they can only keep plundering the weak forces around them, and at the same time they also try to consume a large number of people through this plunder, so as to maintain the balance of production and reproduction of the tribe.

But it is a pity that reality has given them a blow in the face, and their attempts cannot even be broken by the second-line troops, and then most of them were directly killed and wounded by the Fifth Army that followed, leaving behind a large number of corpses while retreating.

The defeat of these bandit tribes made other people who were ready to move understand that even if the Baltic Empire was defeated by accident and there were losses, they could not be the ones who defeated the Baltic Empire, because not everyone had the extraordinary wisdom of Goliath.

The so-called failure is only an accident within an accident, and even with the favor of the goddess of luck, it is not necessarily possible to grasp such an accident, because it is not how clever Goliath is, but the command of the Baltic people who made a stupid mistake.

Because of the actions of those bold and reckless men, the careerists temporarily held back their movements, and they continued to turn their gaze to the battlefield that was taking place in the Ural Mountains.

If the girl named Golia can prove her wisdom and strength for the second time, and successfully inflict losses on the powerful Baltic Empire on the battlefield for the second time, then they will not be stingy with their own strength, and invest their capital in that girl, so that she will become more powerful, and build a relatively powerful kingdom in the east of the Baltic Empire, and hinder the Baltic Empire's progress in completing the unification of the Northland.

A few decades ago, there was a figure in the Baltic Sea who succeeded in killing the Baltic overlord with a small force, and then occupied Jutland, which was notoriously barren, and in less than a few years, turned barrenness into richness and established a powerful kingdom.

What happened in the Ural Mountains is similar to what happened many years ago, and now it seems that there are many similarities, they missed the rise of the other person before, and now they don't want to miss it again, because they can meet such an investment that is not only a huge profit, but also may be able to realize their ambitions.

It can be said that this war, which was originally only controlled on a small scale, attracted the attention of almost everyone in the North because of the defeat of the commander of the Sixth Legion, and it can be called a lot of attention, and even some kings of the Celtic Isles cast the eyes of the pillar of light.

Countless demons wandered around the battlefield, and of course they did not dare to test the Baltic barracks, because the demons who had been tempted were now corpses, and the assassins and scouts inside the barracks had plenty of experience to deal with these snoops.

As for the coalition forces in the Ural Mountains, their barracks are completely a sieve, and they know their own situation, so they won't spend effort cleaning up these evil guys, even if they clean up one batch, there will be another, and the chaos caused by it will not be worth the loss.

During the day, two weeks after that defeat, a new battle began again, and both the coalition forces in the Ural Mountains, which had already tasted victory and wanted more victories, and the Baltics, who had been awarded defeat and wanted to be disgraced, were all serious.

One stupid mistake is enough, and if you fall in the same place a second time, neither the commander of the Sixth Legion in command nor the ordinary soldiers below will have any face to return to their hometowns and face their parents, wives and children.

Before the sky was yet light, the battlefield in the sky had already unfolded, with more Wyverns and dragons and a few Thunderbirds on one side, and the more combat-ready Baltic Empire's air force on the other.

The roar of dragons and the chirping of birds resounded throughout the sky, and lightning, acid, and flames intertwined, turning the entire blue sky into colorful scrolls, but such fierce battles did not affect the battlefield on land, because neither side would allow the other side to leave the sky and attack the ground.

On the ground, the coalition forces from the Ural Mountains were slowly advancing towards the lonely fortress, and after gaining strength, Goliath frantically sent small teams to intercept the Baltic supply lines, attacking regardless of losses.

At the same time, she also adopted the tactic of clearing the wilderness, cutting down all the forests around the city, driving away all the prey inside, and cutting off the idea of the Baltic people to get food nearby.

This was the lesson she had learned from the Baltic Empire's war with the Attila Empire, and that the best way to deal with such a fortified city was never to storm it, but to let it run out of supplies and destroy itself.

The effect was not obvious, but it was still there, because in the past two weeks, the breached wooden wall outside the barracks has not been rebuilt, even if it is part of the construction, it has been demolished, and the materials have been transported into the barracks and stored as materials for making arrows.

Another point is that the moat has also been solved, because the upstream water source is directly cut off, there is no water from the top down, there is no rain, the river quickly becomes dry, maybe in a few days, the original silt will also become dry and hard, there is no water at all.

Now that the moat, with a large number of dead piranhas and skeletons exposed to the air, emitting a dizzying, disgusting smell from the sun, the dry river has become a hotbed of plague.

As the vanguard, it was the orc tribe that attacked, and it was the previous orc chief who commanded, although he was angry because of Golia's calculations in the previous battle, but the frenzy of the battle still made him abandon the unpleasantness of the past regardless of his previous suspicions.

And Goliath also reciprocated, and arranged all the orcs who joined the coalition army later in the hands of this orc chieftain, and she only had one request, that is, in the subsequent battle, she hoped that the orc chief could bring her victory and kill more enemies.

For orcs, there is nothing more pleasant for an orc than such an order.

Of course, because of the limited technology, the siege equipment that can be used for them is only a ladder, and even the siege vehicles used by the Attila Empire have not appeared, this is a simple technical problem, in this barbaric and primitive land, it is impossible to produce such a machine.

In the desolate rhythmic sound of horns, all the orcs sang the ancient war song in their own voices, and then quickly rushed towards the location of the city wall, without formation, only the belief that they wanted to fight.

Their bodies have been used by the caster to increase their vitality [Bear Tenacity], so that they can continue to kill more enemies even if they are seriously injured.

The arrows were thrown downward, and the kinetic energy carried by the arrows pinned a famous orc to the ground, stopping their attack, and the caster began to cast [Swamp Magic], turning the land near the moat into a sticky and muddy swamp.

On the side of the coalition forces, the hill giants quickly stepped out, their hands pressed to the ground, and in an instant, the swamp was turned back into hard land, a hard ground that even the stone bullets of ballistas could not shatter when they fell on the ground.

After doing this, they plunged one hand deep into the dirt, grabbed a handful of dirt and turned it into a stone ball, and threw it at the wall.

They had tried to use spells such as Earth Shaking to collapse the walls directly, but it was clear that their attempts were in vain, as it was now common sense to fortify the walls and land before the war.

The stone ball failed to hit the city wall and was intercepted by the combined efforts of the casters, and the shattered stone fragments fell around the battlefield as if it were raining rain.

At the same time, the ballistas and catapults were calibrated and began to bombard the enemy's defensive lines, just as they had done before, but now that the coalition forces were no longer the same as before, they would not collapse in order to be attacked like this.

As the number of casters grew, the number of casters grew, and each of them used their own means to intercept the slings, just as their enemies did.

With the barracks safe, the lizardmen began to enter the battlefield, using arrows to suppress the enemies on the walls and relieve the pressure on the orcs.

The previous gnolls who had been throwing stones were not ordered to attack at this time, because the last war had shown that their slings were of no use, and could not even do the most basic harassment, and could not break through the enemy's armor.

Helplessly, they threw away their slings, picked up their weapons, followed the orcs, and joined the charge.

Originally, this was supposed to be a mission carried out by werewolves, but because of the werewolf chieftain, the werewolves began to resist entering such a battlefield, and now they only serve as scouts.

Goliath also let this go, she knew that the behavior of the new werewolf chief would only make his father's previous prestige continue to be lost, and soon she would be able to use some small methods to replace the werewolf chief with someone who was willing to get close to her, and further complete the control of the werewolf tribe.

It has to be said that because of that victory, Golia's ambitions began to increase, and she began to use some more primitive political means to increase the power in her hands.

Maybe this is a possibility for her to go further, or maybe it is a sign of her arrogance, but no one can make an accurate conclusion until she has completely failed, or until she succeeds.

The lizardmen's bows and arrows were barely able to suppress enemy attacks, but soon the Baltics focused their main attacks on them, forcing them to stop their attacks and find cover to avoid the threat from the arrows.

This was actually Goliath's purpose, after the lizardmen attracted the opponent's long-range attack, the orcs and the gnolls behind them tried their best to get close to the wall, using the ladder to climb.

The Baltic hoplites were beginning to counterattack, and at such close range, they preferred to use the rolling stones to smash the orcs off the ladder.

This time they did not choose hot water, because even if their whole bodies were drenched in boiling hot water, and there was a large area of ulceration, the orcs would not rout, they would endure the pain, climb at a faster speed, and then come to the top of the city wall, and use the weapons in their hands to return the pain to the Baltics.

When the orcs and gnolls appeared at the top of the wall and began a white-knuckle battle with the Baltics, Goliath did not hesitate to use a mixed force of trolls and ogres.

This is also the time when the troops have been replenished in these days, and the stupid trolls and ogres have their big feet and hardened wooden clubs in their hands, and they have rushed to the city walls.

There were still not many changes in tactics, and Goliath still wanted these trolls and ogres to destroy the walls, so that the follow-up troops could directly enter the middle of the second and third walls.

Goliath didn't want to win this war completely today, she wanted to break the opponent's turtle shell layer by layer, eat away at the opponent's strength little by little, and win the victory steadily.

Because they now have an absolute advantage in numbers, and this land is still their home field, she now has enough warriors to attack the opponent's supply lines, and the longer it drags on, the higher the chance of victory for them.

Of course, the Baltics wanted to use their crossbow bolts to fight back and snipe the trolls and ogres as they had done before, but reality prevented them from doing so, as the orcs and gnolls had already hit the wall, turning the bed crossbow placed on the wall into a scrap that could not be attacked.

The reason is very simple, because the technicians who operate these bed crossbows are now fighting the orcs and gnolls with weapons, protecting these precious bed crossbows from being destroyed by the orcs.

Of course, the battle between the orcs and the gnolls was also very difficult, and they were surrounded by the Baltics, each of whom had to deal with attacks from all sides.

However, slightly better than before, the orcs were already wearing the armor that had been untied from the dead Baltic before, and they were also holding Baltic weapons in their hands, allowing them to be on the same level in equipment.

"Keep playing at this pace, don't be afraid, it's our victory to keep going. ”

The commander of the Sixth Legion was standing at the top of the wall at this time, cheering up morale.
