Chapter 614: The War Expands

Create an opportunity for the trolls by having the gnolls attack the dwarves with slingstones and luring the elves into attacking the gnolls.

The fact that something that I didn't expect could actually lead to the Scandinavian cavalry hidden in the forest was something that Famine didn't expect, or rather it was a surprise.

Everyone knows what these cavalry are hiding in the forest for, and they want to replicate the victory of the previous day, which made famine and plague feel extremely humiliating.

The two of them would never allow such a thing to happen, it would make them the laughing stock of the entire North, facing the same enemy in the same thing, and facing similar defeats.

In fact, after the hidden cavalry is exposed, their threat plummets, and they can completely let the caster unleash a [Swamp Spell] or [Greasy Spell] at the feet of those cavalry, and let the centaurs snipe these cavalry by name from a distance.

Instead of doing this, they let the centaurs, who were not good at melee combat, intercept them, and they certainly knew that by doing so, even if they intercepted the Scandinavian cavalry, the centaurs' ranks would suffer heavy losses.

However, they did it anyway, giving the centaurs a death order that they had to intercept, on the one hand, they didn't care about the life and death of the regular class of centaurs, and on the other hand, it was also a warning to the centaurs, warning them not to play cleverly under the table, to follow orders honestly, and to carry out orders seriously.

"Trolls and ogres are lost. ”

Famine said coldly, although these trolls and ogres are a little stupid and difficult to command, their combat effectiveness is still very considerable, and the Scandinavians have suffered a lot of losses in the past two days of fighting.

Even on the second day, the dwarves were targeted to operate bed crossbows to snipe ogres and trolls, but their counterattack before dying still killed more than 1,000 Scandinavians, and the battle damage ratio was actually not ugly.

"It doesn't matter, the elves have also suffered heavy losses, and without the support of the elves, we will be much better in the next few days of fighting. ”

Plague said on the side, in his opinion, it was undoubtedly a very good deal to use ogres and trolls to deal with those elves to suppress the opponent's long-range attack ability.

"What about the loss of the trolls?"

"There are no losses. ”

"You're going to keep the promise you gave them before?"

"Why not? The forests in our territory are all empty territories, and with these trolls, I don't need to worry about the damn druids and elves. ”

Famine said this, I can't help but grit my teeth, in the territory of the Attila Empire is widely distributed dense forests, especially in Karelia and Finland, almost half of the land is covered by forests.

It was inhabited by a large number of elves and druids, either the former rulers of the land who had fled into the forest after being defeated, or the righteous who were dissatisfied with Attila's policies and were not accustomed to their actions, and had come from other regions.

Although the Atila army also has races like centaurs and gnolls, which live in the forest, they can fight in the forest, but because there is no spellcaster, the gnolls and centaurs are not opponents of each other at all, and those forests are like giant mouths that devour life, and many people are sent to disappear into it.

Now with trolls it's different, they only lived in the Scandinavian forests, but that doesn't mean they can only live here, Karelian and Finnish environments, they can also survive.

With the promise and support of the Attila Empire, it is conceivable that a brutal war will break out in the forests of Finland and Karelia, and how the war will end is different, at least for a short time, Karelia and Finland, cities built on the plains, will be free from the attacks of the elves and druids.

As mentioned before, trolls and elves are mortal enemies, and the same is true for druids, and in the event of a troll, those elves and druids will first target their attacks.

"But those trolls are disloyal to the Empire, and the evil and chaos they hide in their bones will become a destabilizing factor, and when they reach a certain level of strength, they will most likely become a second orc. ”

"Orcs, it's been a long time since you've heard this name, the foolish people who dare to plot to overthrow Attila. ”

The name orc, not only in the Attila Empire, but also in the entire northland, is rarely mentioned, the original huge purge, so that the orcs completely disappeared from the north, only a few powerful tribes, from the northland, migrated out.

Since then, the orcs who were once called the same as the jackals and centaurs and can be hard steel berserkers in front of them have completely withdrawn from the historical stage of the Northlands, and even many Scandinavians who have just been born and raised have never heard rumors about orcs, let alone real orcs.

"Don't worry, Plague, I admit that we had some minor problems and mistakes in dealing with orcs, so I won't give trolls that chance. ”

"I don't make mistakes twice on the same issue, I don't fall twice in the same place, of course I know that the blood of the trolls is not willing to be lonely, and even now they only see our Attila Empire as an object to be traded. ”

"There is no faithfulness, no fear, no fear. ”

"But these will not be problems, and after this war is won, what we have is time to teach them what faithfulness is, what reverence is, what fear is, what should be done and what should not be done. ”

"Trolls won't give in. ”

"They have no choice, and if they win this war, the Northlands will be ruled by us, and even the splendor of the gods will disappear from the starry sky of the Northlands. ”

Plague nodded, now that the famine was assured, there was no need for him to worry too much, although the two of them were known for their wisdom among the four knights, but the real decision-maker was Famine.

By noon, the Attila Army's offensive had been curtailed by the fall of the trolls and ogres, but compared to yesterday, the losses of the gnolls were less, and they could attack more freely when the elves had suffered heavy losses.

For example, the gnoll slings, who had reorganized and regrouped, came to a distance of fifty meters from the city wall and threw stones at the Scandinavian troops.

At this distance, their attacks can cover all enemies around the walls, including the Scandinavians who are fighting, including those who are reloading, ready to aim at their next target.

The Scandinavians have the gnolls in front of them to contain and confront them, and their primary target is the dwarves, who, like the elves, play an extremely important role in this war.

However, unlike the elves, the number of dwarves is more scarce, and the equipment is more luxurious, and the gnolls have tried their best to attack those dwarves, but the stones cannot break the armor of the dwarves, and can only be used as a harassment and influence.

"Go, go collect those throwing axes and javelins, I need these, hurry. ”

The Jackal's command on the battlefield, Hogg's cronies grabbed one of the gnolls and roared loudly, he understood the limits of stone-throwing, there was no way to achieve anything, but on the battlefield there was something that could help them break the situation.

There are a large number of throwing axes and javelins on the battlefield, many of which are intact and can be used again, especially the ogres and trolls, which are stuck in these things.

Throwing stones cannot break through the dwarves' defenses, but the sharp and hard axes and javelins forged by the dwarves are completely different, and if they can hit the joints of the dwarves' armor, they can be extremely effective.

"I need support, I need an environment where I can output with peace of mind, and repeat my words to Gaum word for word, herald. ”

The dwarven commander tiptoed onto the herald's clothes and pulled him in front of him, spitting in the face of the hapless herald's ears.

The dwarves are annoyed by the gnolls, in addition to the gnolls, the trolls also turn the target of the attack to their bodies, their armor does have a strong physical defense ability, but it has little effect on the toxins of the trolls.

Where the dwarves were, on the walls where the bed crossbows were placed, a thick green fog was filling the city, and the violent blizzard could not dispel the green fog.

Many of the dwarves had fallen to the ground, their eyes wide open, their pupils dilated, and their skin an eerie green color, and their proud defenses had no effect in the face of the trolls' strange methods.

This is no longer something that the dwarves can solve, only the caster can deal with the caster, although it is said that asking the Scandinavians for help now will damage the dignity of the dwarves, but the dwarven commander cares more about the lives of his people than the dignity of the mere ones.

The herald quickly conveyed the dwarf's meaning to Gorm, who was standing on the city wall, looked at the dwarf who had stopped attacking, and then at the troll who was attacking in the distance, and sighed helplessly.

The current battle situation is actually not yet the time when the caster should make a move, but with the elves already suffering heavy losses, he can't lose even the dwarves with them.

More importantly, Gom needs to consider not only the problems on the battlefield, but also some strategic and political things that also affect his decision-making, the elves and dwarves have a lot of power in Scandinavia, to fight against Attila and to deal with Siegel, these two forces are extremely important to Gohm, he can't let the elves and dwarves suffer too much loss, even if such a decision will affect the entire battle.

"Let the caster unleash the magic against the poison on the dwarves, and take out the trolls. ”

Goam waved his hand and reluctantly instructed the herald.

"But, Lord Gorm, the caster of the spell hasn't done it yet. ”

"I understand. ”

"The elves are still recuperating, and they want to leave the trolls to them. ”

"I understand. ”

“……”

The herald looked at Gorm's grim face, opened his mouth, and finally did not continue, after all, he was just a herald, and this was already considered a transgression.

The herald reluctantly passed on Gohm's order, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, but it did not affect his movements, and in five minutes, he crossed the distance of half a city and came to the place where the spellcaster was stationed.

In order to prevent the opponent from directly decapitating the caster, this place is heavily protected, and the Treants and Giants are nearby, even if it is a dragon, in the face of such a large body, it will be killed in one round.

The herald crossed the barrier on three sides, and the herald couldn't help but shake his body with a clear and secret gaze, and after verifying and confirming his identity, the herald was allowed to come to the leader of the spellcaster.

Don't say that these spellcasters are cautious, and if they are unprepared, the assassins can easily take their lives, just like Qi'er can be unscathed when facing a group of spellcasters, and achieve the result of the annihilation of the opponent's army.

The leader of the spellcasters was a middle-aged woman, who quietly listened to the herald's orders, nodding her head from time to time.

"I see, Mistress Gorm. ”

The woman didn't say yes, she didn't say no, as the leader of the spellcasters, she had a very special position in this coalition, even if it was Gohm's order, as long as there was a reason to do it, she could refuse to carry it out.

Then, the two guards standing beside the woman stepped forward and made a gesture of please, indicating that the herald should leave the place.

When the herald was gone, the middle-aged woman got up from her chair and told the attendant to call the other spellcasters to gather here, and it was time for them to enter.

Two days ago, at the most critical moment, they used protective magic to resist Attila's attack, otherwise it would definitely not be just a section of the city wall that would be damaged, and the loss would not be a dozen giants.

However, due to the haste of the reason, these casters were more or less affected, and after two days of rest, they basically recovered to their best state.

"It's not time for us to enter yet, and the other party's spellcaster hasn't entered yet. ”

When the many casters came to this hall, some people couldn't wait to start questioning.

"Don't worry, Mistress Gorm already has her own considerations. ”

"On the other side, what should I do if the king is attacking?"

"Mistress Gorm has found a solution. ”

Whether it was or not, the woman said that she could not sit in the position of commander without the support of Gorm, and if necessary, she also needed to appease the other spellcasters to fulfill the orders given by Gorm.

Even now she has the right to say no to Gohm.
