Chapter 807: Battle of the Attila Empire (6) --- cunning and enlightenment

They only have eight hours, as the Weather Manipulation only lasts for eight hours, after which the Attila Empire will not allow the enemy to take their advantage.

Therefore, they must tear these thunderbirds apart in eight hours, so that even if the thunderclouds regroup, the Attila Empire will still not be able to stop the gargoyle attack.

On the ground, ogres and trolls are thrown into the battlefield, along with them bear goblins, bear goblins who live in the ice fields, this time as mercenaries.

Like many races living on barren ice fields, they do not produce, but live by plundering and hunting, but they will suppress their natural instincts for the sake of treasure and take on the role of mercenaries.

These bear goblins often drive the tribes, and this is the cannon fodder they choose when they enter the plundering activities, and only after the cannon fodder has consumed enough stamina and ammunition of the target, the bear goblins will enter the battlefield and smash the heads of their enemies with clubs in their hands.

Inconsistent with the strong physique of the bear goblin, they are unexpectedly good at stealth action, even when they are carrying out activities alone, they like to hide and ambush, if the war does not go well, the bear goblin will abandon his companions and turn away, and those abandoned companions will often choose to surrender in order to survive, leading the way for the enemy to help them hunt down their companions, in exchange for a chance to live.

Unlike ogres and trolls, few people are willing to hire bear goblins, because the greedy goblins don't like these unarmed relatives and don't want to admit their blood connections.

The input of ogres and trolls has made the battlefield white-hot, and the long-range attacks of the Attila Empire have made it difficult to penetrate the armor worn by these big guys, and there are tough skin and strong muscles under the armor.

If you think about it from the actual battle, the ogre and the troll have not yet reached the best time to put into use, and it is not appropriate for them to attack the strong city wall.

However, Alice still hopes to use this battle to test her previous idea of incorporating ogres and trolls into the imperial system, and to assess the viability of this idea.

Ogres and trolls were still a little different from the real giants, but they still made the ground shake slightly as they went, which made them look particularly terrifying.

As they advanced, the saliva from their mouths fell to the ground, emitting an unimaginable stench, and the fellows had just finished their breakfast before they set off, and it had not even taken thirty minutes to digest it now.

Ogres and trolls are omnivorous creatures that have included rotten food in their menus, and the smell of blood and rot that pervades the battlefield has made them hungry.

The power of the famine had taken effect on them, eating away at their minds, deceiving their bodies, tempting them to stop and take the corpses that littered the ground for food.

But by this time, the ogres and trolls had resisted, temporarily controlling their instincts, and their employers had made it clear to them that if they could follow orders and carry out their orders in this battle, they would get enough food.

Rather than these ordinary foods that are just roughly filling, they miss the unimaginable taste of the food that their employers gave them, cooked by good chefs.

Even the clumsy brains of ogres and trolls will keep in mind the taste that they are unwilling to forget, unwilling to give up, and persistently pursue.

Standing on the city wall, Famine's face was ugly, he didn't know why the previous methods of dealing with ogres and trolls had lost their effect at this time, but he knew that if he didn't stop the advance of those ogres and trolls, they would be in trouble.

These ogres and trolls must not be allowed to get close to the city walls, and with the current slope outside the walls, ogres and trolls can climb the walls and directly clear enough space for the follow-up troops to stand on.

Compared to ogres and trolls, those bear goblins are much simpler, and without seeing victory, bear goblins will not attack with all their might, they will do everything they can to save their lives on the battlefield.

With a strong body, excellent weapons and equipment, but no tenacious will to fight, these bear goblins can only be used as bandits in the wasteland, and they will not be too much of a problem.

In the past few days of fighting, the magic arrows obtained from the enemy have been basically used up, the catapults and bed crossbows have been damaged, and after losing these weapons to deal with large creatures, there is no way to stop the ogres and trolls from advancing.

As used to be, shooting these ogres and trolls in the eye with a bow and arrow will make them go berserk and attack each other, turning the battlefield into chaos in search of opportunities.

But now the ogres and trolls wore metal helmets on their heads, and as they advanced, it was difficult for their bows and arrows to hit.

Finally, when they were three hundred meters away from the city wall, the ogres and trolls stopped, and in front of them was the land that had already performed the [Swamp Spell], a swamp mixed with snow, which even ogres and trolls could not cross.

"With a javelin!

The war commanded loudly, and at such a close distance, it was already the best range for the javelin, and the sharp iron javelin was enough to pierce the skin and muscles of ogres and trolls, injuring the internal organs that were protected by layers.

The premise is that they can let these ogres and trolls take off the iron armor they wear on their bodies, and with the distance that the Attila people are now, they can clearly see the expressions on the faces of those guys.

It was still blank when it was attacked, as if wondering what the hell these enemies were doing that was useless.

After half a bang, the ogre and the troll came to terms with the fact that they were being attacked, and they let out a deafening roar of rage, then drew a javelin about the thickness of their arm from behind their backs and hurled it at the target on the wall.

Ogres and trolls have a low hit rate, and you can't ask these stupid guys to use any intricate tricks in throwing javelins, as long as they can throw javelins into a general range, it's enough to satisfy the generals.

The attacks of ogres and trolls suppressed the attacks of the Atila, and the originally dense rain of arrows was now sparse, and there was no apparent power, and even if it was hit, it would not cause much damage.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the bear goblins began to run forward with the ladder, which they placed at the edge of the swamp and used the ladder as a bridge to advance.

The cunning bear goblins are always opportunistic, and this kind of opportunism is not necessarily a good thing on the battlefield, if it is an orc, they must be relentless and roar into the swamp, and carve a path with their corpses alive.

Seeing that the battle was going as smoothly as expected, the Baltic Empire's generals once again sent out the Clay Golem, which can not only turn fossils into mud, but also turn muddy swamps into dirt.

The Clay Golem was followed by orcs who had already shown the generals their determination in the previous few days of battle, proving that they were enough soldiers.

Generals like these orcs promised that the reward for victory in this war would be an opportunity, a chance to join the empire as a tribe.

They will be able to escape the cruelty of the ice field, they will not let the old man drift away in the cold winter for a little food, and they will not be afraid to open their eyes in the morning, and the child in their arms has become a cold corpse.

Compared to those who live in the Ural Mountains, decades of life in the Northland ice fields have smoothed out the water chestnuts of these orcs, and the slogan of not being free and preferring to die is no longer mentioned.

Freedom is really less important than survival

Next to the orcs, there are groups of lizardmen in leather armor, holding iron rods on the left and right, and shields in their right hands.

These are the lizardfolk from Schleswig who have not yet fully joined the empire and still live a relatively primitive tribal life, but with the development of Schleswig by the Empire, there is no room for them to live in that swamp.

There are only three paths in front of them: fight to the end, join the empire, or leave their homeland and find another habitat.

Both the former and the latter have no way to see the future, and after seeing the strength of the Baltic Empire, they do not feel that they can continue to survive in the Northlands, so they can only join the Empire.

The empire still lacks the population to exploit the vast land, but it is not as rich as before, and if you want orcs and lizardmen to join the empire on a large scale, you need to show enough value first.

And the simplest and most effective way to embody value is to participate in the war and put your own mark on the banner of victory.

Normally, such frontal battlefields are not suitable for Lizardmen, only in places such as rainforests and swamps are their home turf, and Lizardmen are more suitable as scouts than frontal warriors.

Next to the orcs and lizardmen, there is another phalanx, the brown-haired bearmen, relatives of the white bears, who originally lived in the Ural Mountains.

Normally, bears prefer to live alone, and are kinder than other races living in the Ural Mountains, and usually do not actively attack other intelligent beings unless they invade their territory.

Without the abundance of hair on the outside, these bears would look like big, muscular men with intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans.

This made them the best-selling slaves within the empire, as they were enough to operate seemingly complex machines in factories and create wealth for the factory owners.

The current legion of the bears is made up of slaves, eager to be freed from their slave status, willing to trade their lives and victories for status improvement on the battlefield.

Unlike the mercenaries who are on the battlefield, the orcs, lizardmen, and bears all have a reason to win, and they need to use that victory to change their future.

They are willing to do this, because in the country of the Baltic Empire, as long as you work hard, as long as you fight, you can see the hope ahead of the road, which is already the best thing in the world.

Before they could step into battle, the bear goblins were already in a rout, and they were not even close to the battlefield before they were crushed by the javelins from the city walls, and even their greed for treasure was dispelled by the fear of death and the desire for life.

The rout of the bear goblins was later than Alice expected, and she shook her head helplessly as she looked at the bear goblins who had not lost much, but had lost their armor and fled in embarrassment.

In her heart, the bear goblin race has been removed from the free people sequence of the empire, and there may be better special individuals in the bear goblins, but most of the bear goblins can only be used as slaves, and they are still the kind of consumables-like slaves who are thrown into the mines.

Or it is also a good choice to study the caster, such as those necromantic and enchanted magic always need fresh living creatures, and things like the Flesh Golem need powerful flesh and blood as materials, and those that touch the soul will be the last residue of complete use.

The Empire doesn't need such greedy, cunning, cowardly, lazy, but worthless creatures, and if the Empire accepts these bear goblins as free people, it is conceivable that for a long time, the police will have to spend a lot of energy on catching these law-breaking criminals.

When the bear goblins approached, they were attacked by the centaurs, not only because they did not complete their mission and turned to flee, but also because their escape would impact the army behind them and bring chaos.

When the last bear goblin was shot on the battlefield, less than five minutes had passed, and the rest of the mercenaries did not have the slightest objection to such a thing.

The Baltic Empire is indeed very generous, yes, but this generosity is not so easy to enjoy, the Baltic Empire can endure the failure of the mission with all its might, but it cannot bear the greed for life and death of the bear goblin to escape.

Orcs, bears, and lizardmen silently marched towards the battlefield, and before the battle began, they would not waste their energy and perform useless movements.

Ogres and trolls have begun to retreat at the sound of the horns, and they continue to stay on the battlefield, which is no longer useful, and has achieved the purpose of the Empire after it is determined that they can successfully accept orders in a fighting state.

The three legions began to attack the city in three directions, not simply to disperse the forces of the defenders, but also to compete between the three sides.

Whether or not this war is good or not is one thing, whether it can be better than others is another aspect, and in the face of the future of the race, everything else seems to be worth mentioning.
