Population, is it a treasure?

If such a point of view is known by others, it will definitely be laughable, in this main plane, in the eyes of many people, the most worthless thing is actually the population.

It's not surprising that they have such an opinion, but there are races like the Fish Man and the Jackal People in this world, as long as they can be given enough resources to allow them to reproduce, and solve everything with human tactics, it is not a sentence that just stays on paper.

The Fish-Man almost succeeded, and if Alice hadn't been the straw that broke the camel's back at the critical moment in that battle, there would have been nothing to do with the Baltic Empire now.

It is foreseeable that after the Fish-Man Empire completes the unification of the Baltic Sea, their presence will appear on the land around the Baltic Sea, and quickly erode and plunder all the resources they can see.

Of course, Alice would not agree with such a point of view, her eyes were never on this main plane, and the endless void was where she really wanted to go to battle.

The difference in views between the two sides is the difference in vision, just as the frog at the bottom of the well will only think that the little scenery above his head is the whole blue sky, and the well he stays in is the whole world.

Too many people don't know what to do?

In the future, going out will inevitably clash with other forces, and no matter how many people there are, they will be exhausted in such continuous conflicts, because the races with a large number of children must be very poor in their individual strength, and in the war, they need to use numbers to offset the difference in strength between the two sides.

Moreover, the enemies in the void, those forces that can survive in the void, which one's age is not calculated in thousands of years, their soldiers will only exceed Alice's imagination, just like the thousand-year war that is happening within the scope of the World Tree now, Alice's little strength can't even intervene.

That is the end of the opinion on the population, and we now turn our attention to the war that is taking place in the mountains of Norway in western Scandinavia.

It was already the second day, and the army of Atila had begun to rest early, and yesterday's imminent victory flew like this, making everyone hold back their anger.

They attributed the Mammoth's fall yesterday to a conspiracy of the Scandinavians, believing that a legendary spellcaster was hiding in the castle to kill the mammoth at a critical moment.

However, the conspiracy was discovered by several knights of the Attila army, and the mammoth was no longer in a problem with the help of the spellcaster and the healer, and as long as he rested for a while, he could rejoin the war.

As for what the Gnolls did yesterday, from retreat to rout, the leader of the Gnolls, Hawke, had already pleaded guilty to Atila, and after suffering the punishment and issuing a military order that the castle must be conquered today, the Gnoll's guilt was temporarily revealed.

Famine and plague were not seen, the jackal lowered his head, the fire contained in his pupils, it was clear that yesterday's rout was due to the mistake of the mammoth, it was clear that yesterday they had successfully climbed the city wall after paying a great price, ready to win this war, but now they were reaping punishment, not comfort.

Hogg took a few deep breaths of cold air and suppressed the anger floating in his heart, he was the most sensible and far-sighted of the gnolls, and he was also the most loyal to Attila, but now that he was treated like this, he couldn't help but feel angry and cold.

He turned his head and looked at the distant wall, fearing that if he continued, he would be felt by famine and pestilence, which would cause something unnecessary and make the situation worse for the gnolls.

Although it is said that such a siege battle is only capable of the gnoll troops in the Attila army, such a combat mission as climbing the city wall, but there is no element of punishment and warning in it.

After the end of the war in Upland, when they were trapped by the flood, the story of what happened among the gnolls spread and reached the ears of the two knights.

This is an unavoidable thing, among the tens of thousands of gnolls, there will inevitably be those who are loyal to Attila, and there must be those who have been bought by knights, who think that everything they have done is to save their own race, so that the race can live a better life, and firmly believe that Attila's victory after victory can make the gnoll race finally stand on the top of the mountain.

It's love, it's ignorance, it's stupidity

However, the gnolls should rejoice that the current Attila Empire is no longer the previous Attila Empire, and their power has become very important at this time, and they cannot be abandoned and cleaned up at will like the orcs.

As for the centaurs on the other side, I have to say that the previous rebellion with the giants made all the centaurs have no hope for the Attila Empire, and their plots have been passed into the ears of famine and plague, otherwise yesterday's battlefield, even if they can only carry out long-range attacks, shoot arrows and throw javelins or something, they will let the centaurs go to the battlefield.

Noisy shouts of killing came from the battlefield, countless black dots were surrounding the ladders, charging towards the city wall in the distance, although Hogg didn't see it, but he could still feel that the morale of the gnolls was unusually low today.

On the other hand, their enemies, the Scandinavians, were enthusiastically shouting the sacrifices to the gods, and smashing the things in their hands with all their might, and they didn't need to aim, because the gnolls all over the mountains could get hits even with their eyes closed.

For one night, the ground was covered in ice, and there was still blood on it, which added a lot of difficulty to the marching gnolls, who would fall to the ground and be trampled by the gnolls behind them.

However, they soon found a way to deal with it, and some gnolls walked to the front of the group, shields in one hand in front of them, and weapons in the other hand to break through the smooth ice of the ground, smashing and shattering.

After paying for the corpses, the gnolls approached the wall they had climbed yesterday, and there were still uncleaned corpses and traces of blood frozen on the wall.

"Don't come up to those guys, Valkyrie's eyes are on me and wait. ”

"Death is not scary, imagine the Valhalla Palace flowing with honey and milk. ”

The words of sacrifice echoed in their ears, and the Scandinavians were so angry that they even leaned out of the city walls in order to achieve better results.

Thankfully, they need to face a demoralized gnolls today, otherwise they would be targets for such actions, and the gnolls can directly hit them with a stone-throwing from the bottom up.

"That's not good. ”

"It's rubbish. ”

With the ability of famine and plague, they could see clearly what was happening at the front of the battlefield even from a great distance, and they were very dissatisfied with the performance of the gnolls.

They didn't care at all that Hogg, the leader of the gnolls, was by their side, and they could hear their words clearly, and they didn't give each other any face at all.

Hogg the Jackal did receive a special status promised by Attila himself, because the wolf pack tactics he invented could be used in actual combat to compensate for the shortcomings of Attila's army in many aspects.

However, because of the disparity in individual strength, famine and plague still habitually treated him with an attitude of superiority, just as they had promised Uplanan before.

Hogg turned his back to the two knights, his face kept changing, the claws hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists, his chest rose and fell violently, and there was a raging anger hidden in it, he wanted to turn his head and scold the two, who did not join the fight, only knew how to squander the lives of the jackals.

However, the Gnoll's strength was not enough to deal with a situation that angered the two knights, which was not in the interest of the Gnoll, nor was it in Hogg's own interest.

"Hogg, hurry up your people, hasn't yesterday's punishment brought you to your senses?"

Famine said coldly, he led the lesson given to the gnolls yesterday, he let the gnolls suffer from hunger for a night, and this morning in order to ensure their combat effectiveness, he gave them some food.

The hunger that erodes the brain, as long as you feel it once, it will make people fearful, and you will never want to experience it a second time, it is a feeling that can definitely torture a normal person to go crazy.

"Yes, I see. ”

Hogg suppressed his feelings, word by word squeezing between his teeth, he raised his feet and quickly left here, he was afraid that if he didn't leave, he couldn't help but explode.

He kept his head down, trying not to let others see his face, which was as black as a dark cloud, and like a volcano about to erupt, brewing a terrible catastrophe.

Hogg's order soon reached the gnolls on the front line, and despite the reluctance, the gnolls picked themselves up and frantically climbed the ladder and rushed towards the top of the wall.

These ladders were made from the strongest ironwood heart in the forest, and were outwardly reinforced with magic, which could not be destroyed by the slashing of ordinary weapons, otherwise the Scandinavians would not have used such a complicated method to deal with it, and could simply cut it with a throwing axe.

The frenzy did not cool down as the battle progressed, and on the top of the city walls, women and children appeared, as if performing a sacred ritual, overcoming their fears, holding the rolling stones, and throwing them at the enemy below.

The structure of the ladder determines that these spherical rolling stones can roll straight to the ground from above, inflicting a series of damage on the gnoll, and crushing a path made of bone and flesh.

"Hold off, Chief Hogg. ”

"If this continues, the casualties are too great. ”

A gnolloll observed the battle and turned to Hogg as he proposed.

He is a veteran soldier who has experienced many battles, and has his own unique understanding of battlefield warfare, such a situation should not be launched a tough attack, the enemy is in a state of high morale, and our army is in a state of low morale.

The best way to do this is to give the team a rest, re-boost morale, and allow a day or two for the enemy's blood to cool down before continuing the attack.

Even if an attack is won in such a situation, the price to pay will be extremely high, both for the army of Attila and for the gnolls.

Hogg didn't answer his men's questions, if he could, of course he wanted to take a break, he was not one of those selfish tyrants who could sacrifice the interests of the race for his own interests, and no one would feel more angry and sad than he was watching his people being consumed on such a battlefield for no reason.

However, it was not only these gnolls warriors in front of him that he needed to consider, but also the gnolls in the entire north that belonged to the Attila Empire.

Their previous behavior had already caused the dissatisfaction of the Attila Empire, and even if there was a lot of complaint and anger in their hearts, they could only choose to endure in order to give birth to them, which was a very helpless thing.

The so-called wolf pack tactics he invented can be very effective in regular combat, and can give the enemy an effective blow in a variety of areas, but if the target is famine and plague, even a strong man like Attila.

Such tactics will not have any effect at all, and when the number cannot be transformed into an advantage, and when it cannot be crushed, the so-called number of people will only become the result of the enemy.

And, as a sensible leader, he understands the predatory view of the Gnoll race, who does not farm, does not graze, and usually relies on plundering and hunting to survive, if he breaks away from the empire, famine alone can make the entire race of Gnoll people starve to death on the grassland.

"Don't say these unrealistic things, just go ahead. ”

Hogg sighed and gave the order to continue the attack, even if it was superficial, it needed to be carefully pondered, and now all he could do was to pray to the gods, so that this war could go smoothly, so that they could win smoothly, and only then could their casualties be reduced.

However, it is estimated that even Hogg himself did not realize that he used the word unrealistic in the answer to his subordinates, which can be seen as his inner wavering of the Attila Empire.

It is foreseeable that when the knights continue to maintain such an arrogant attitude, the gnolls and the empire will gradually drift apart, and the fanatical gnolls below will slowly cool down with the cruel war and the actions of the empire, coupled with the news of turmoil from their hometowns and the influence of the tribe's high-level leaders.

What followed, from the initial lack of effort, to further refusal to fight, and finally evolved into the division of the Gnoll and the Empire...... Such a conflict, in the final analysis, is that the empire can no longer satisfy the appetites of the increasingly powerful gnolls.

They have proven their worth with their force, but the Empire still maintains its previous attitude, with no real changes...... The gnolls still can't forget the land they titular of, occupied by ghosts, Upland!
