Chapter 704: The battle is fierce

It is said that it is the main army, but if you think that this is the main force of the Baltic Empire, it is a big mistake, the real strength of the Baltic Empire on the battlefield is actually not the soldiers of philosophical flesh and blood, but those who do not feel fear, do not retreat, and do not need food and water.

Whether it is general, adaptability or combat effectiveness, it is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, and because of the use of assembly line technology, the cost of manufacturing a structure has become very low, compared to training a qualified soldier, preparing various equipment and logistics materials for soldiers is much cheaper.

Of course, these structures have no potential to continue to grow, and the level at which they can grow is fixed by the materials and processes used to create them.

Unless these constructs can awaken, have their own souls, have their own wisdom, have their true selves, and truly purify into constructs, these constructs are destined to be just mere consumables, and no one will feel heartache no matter how much they consume.

Soldiers are different, soldiers can accumulate experience through non-stop combat and training, constantly squeeze the potential in their bodies, break through the mental limits in different ways, and then become more powerful.

Even if a battle-hardened soldier is unable to cross the last step to become a legend, his combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and after death, such a soldier will be welcomed by the gods, as they will be able to continue to fight for the gods and fight the enemies of the gods after death.

It has already been emphasized that the purpose of the Baltic people coming to this land this time, if it is to achieve victory, to rule this land, to conquer the natives here, they have other more efficient and faster methods, than such a brutal use of war violence.

The fierce battle continues, and the orcs who have climbed the city wall have caused them a lot of trouble, compared to the Baltic who keep calm, maintain the lineup, and maintain a tacit understanding, these orcs are completely fighting with intuition, and the undisciplined way of fighting is difficult to predict, unpredictable, and difficult to dodge from another point of view.

What's even more uncomfortable is that these orcs can always start their rage when they are on the verge of death, even if it only lasts a few minutes, and the orcs with a large increase in speed, strength, and agility can still cause casualties to the Balts.

Because of the previous fight, these orcs have figured out how to break through the armor of the Baltics, and they always try to attack the lower body of the Baltics, fall to the ground as much as possible, and then put the weapon into the throat of the opponent to win the battle.

In addition, the joints of the armor that attacked the Baltics could also inflict casualties, because the orcs were holding the same weapon as them, which was a real sharp weapon that could cut through the armor and pierce their bodies.

However, even if the orcs were so desperate to carry out this battle and enjoy this battle, the situation on the city wall was still not much better, most of the corpses lying on the ground were orcs, and the Baltic were very few, because the wounded Baltic people left the battlefield and returned to the hospital in the rear to receive medical treatment.

And those gnolls, they can help in such a battle, there is very limited what they can help, even if five gnolls face a Baltic warrior, they have no way to win, they can only create a little space for the orcs to fight.

There was no way to do it, because the gnolls hadn't learned the wolf pack tactics Hogg had invented, and on the other hand, they couldn't take advantage of their speed and agility in a small place like the city walls, which led to their casualties being greater than the use of rampaging orcs.

It wasn't just the orcs and gnolls on the walls who were at a disadvantage, the lizardmen were no different, they were no longer able to support the Balts, and they were only one step away from a rout.

It's not that their bow and arrow skills are inferior to the Baltics, but the lizardmen who can survive with bow and arrow skills in this region of the Ural Mountains have excellent places and methods to survive in any case.

Even compared to the other two races known for their bows and arrows, the lizardmen are not inferior, but unfortunately, in such a battle, their arrows cannot cause damage to the Balts, which is really a very helpless thing.

The confrontation between the spellcasters continued, and they were trying to deal with the ballistas and the stone projectiles thrown by the giants in various ways.

It takes time for the flame to melt and explode and the acid to corrode, and judging from the speed at which the projectile flies, it is difficult to break it before it hits the ground.

Both sides invariably used lightning magic to shoot down these stone balls, and under the influence of this, the entire battlefield reverberated with a thunderous roar, and lightning streaked through the air, flashing in the retina.

On the outskirts of the battlefield, those who had observed the war through the body of the demon fell silent, marveling at the strength of the Baltic and the tenacity of the natives of the Ural Mountains, who were able to follow Atila across a battlefield and take a powerful warrior with a victory.

They tried to bring their troops into one of the two warring sides, trying to fight them as imaginary enemies, only to lament that no matter how hard they tried, it would be difficult for them to win.

At this moment, the huge explosion began to echo in everyone's ears, attracting everyone's attention, only to see those ogres and trolls who had come to the bottom of the city wall began to use their weapons to knock on the strong city wall, and the explosion just now was the sound of the wooden sticks in their hands colliding with the city wall.

Trolls and ogres only loved the walls on their feet, and they would still be able to climb over them if they tried to use the ladder, but Goliath knew that behind this wall there was a third, taller, more majestic, stronger wall.

The trolls and ogres are sandwiched between the two walls and become the target of the Baltic attacks as soon as they cross over, and will be killed by the fire in the first place.

Although the trolls and ogres are very worrying in terms of IQ, they have to be said to be used for fighting, these two races still have merit, the stench that permeates the attempt, more or less has brought a little negative impact to the Baltic people, and the other is only inferior to the power of the giants, so that they pose a certain threat to the city wall, if left unchecked, for a long time, the city wall will definitely be destroyed in their hands.

Unlike the previous battle, because the Orcs and Gnolls held the Baltics at bay on the walls, leaving them with no way to use their bed crossbows, the Trolls and Ogres were able to play to their strengths, participate in the battle, and show off their slightly inferior powers to the giants.

Now it is the Baltic who have become embarrassed, although the walls they have built are indeed very strong, but by the continuous attacks of ogres and trolls, the strong walls will become fragile, and it will only be a matter of time before they are breached.

If the first wall is a trap for lethality, which is meant to be given up in pursuit of higher lethality, then the second and third walls are used as blood foam workshops to drain the lives of the enemy and defend the camp.

The Baltics had to find a way to deal with these trolls and ogres, and they couldn't let them continue to attack the walls in such a comfortable way, some of them tried to attack by throwing rolling stones, but the effect was very limited, and it didn't have much effect on the big ones with rough skin.

As for the previous wood giants, there is no time and materials for them to make a second batch, the surrounding environment has been completely cleared, and the remaining wood still needs to be used to make arrows and repair equipment, and there is no room for too much waste.

In this situation, the commander of the Sixth Legion was hesitating, of course he still had the hole cards in his hand to deal with these ogres and trolls, but the previous defeat made him a lot more cautious.

He knew that this was his last chance, and if he didn't grasp such an opportunity, and if he couldn't complete the task given to him by the empire beautifully, his position as the commander of the Sixth Legion would be changed.

There is never anything to talk about within the empire, the rules set by Alice and Semiramis are there, and everyone must act around them, without the slightest transgression or violation.

He couldn't be sure if the ogres and trolls were also the plot of the hostile opponent, and as he had done before, he used them as traps to lure him into opening his hole cards.

In the end, he made up his mind and opened a hole card to deal with the ogres and trolls, believing that in such a daytime battle, in such a place close to the city walls, even if Golia wanted to play some tricks and tricks, she would not be able to do it.

On the top of the walls suddenly appeared a group of tall soldiers, taller than the Baltic hoplites, covered in sturdy armor, but holding in their hands the bolts that should have been used for bed crossbows.

No, such crossbow arrows were ordinary javelins in their hands, and they were used directly as regular weapons, and they made their way to the edge of the city wall, and then threw their javelins at the trolls and ogres with all their might.

These tall soldiers are all from a taller race like half-giants, their strength is stronger than ordinary soldiers, and their flexibility is better than that of giants, making them more suitable for fighting in such white-knuckle battles.

The Half-Giants are a relatively small race living in the northern part of Karelia, very similar to the Scandinavians in character, but culturally backward and primitive like the Giants.

Half-giants never grow crops, because the land in their area is too barren and the climate is too cold for crops to grow in that environment, so the food of the half-giants comes from fishing and hunting.

Just as dragons look down on wurms and elves look down on half-elves, giants also look down on half-giants, but because of their bloodline and strength, it is difficult for half-giants to resist the rule of giants.

Originally, there was no such race as half-giants in the Baltic Empire, but after opening up the trade routes with the barren lands in the north, the empire easily traded with those giants with wine, and exchanged these unpopular half-giants from their hands, allowing them to join the army and exchange their military exploits for the money they needed to live.

Now in the army of the Baltic Empire, there is a trend of diversification, there are arms to deal with various situations, and the cooperation between the arms can make the combat effectiveness of the army more powerful, and a very small number can exert strong combat effectiveness.

The half-giant soldiers began to attack, and even though they were still some distance from their crossbows in strength, the sharp javelins managed to break through the tough skin of the trolls and ogres, burying them deep in their flesh.

Because of the willingness of the angle, some of the javelins directly hit the necks of those ogres and trolls, bringing up a mist of blood and taking the lives of those monsters.

The demi-giant's attack caught the attention of the ogres and trolls, who began to abandon their attack on the walls and instead picked up the wooden stick in their hands and struck the demigiants above them like a gopher.

Some half-giants who couldn't dodge were swept directly under the city wall, and then those trolls and ogres lifted directly with their hands and smashed the city wall, under such a strange force, the armor on their bodies turned into iron bumps, and a large amount of blood flowed out of the cracks in the armor, which was mixed with white bone fragments.

There were casualties between the troll ogre and the half-giant, and they began to attack each other, but in general, the half-giants achieved a little more results, because after they attacked, they directly retreated, leaning against the city wall, and easily dodged the opponent's attack.

After the first wave of attacks, trolls and ogres began to consciously protect their necks and other vital points, and their strong vitality allowed them to maintain their ability to fight even if their bodies were full of javelins.
