Chapter 49: Variables

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Jingbei Army fought to the death with the ogres, and the battlefield erupted from time to time with the light of fighting spirit, and it was the knights of the Jingbei Army who had a fierce collision with the ogre warriors.

With the second and third legions entering the battle one after another, even though the ogre side once again supported nearly a thousand ogre warriors, they were still completely suppressed.

Although the casualties of the soldiers on the human side were greater, the Jingbei Army was resilient enough, and with victory in sight, the morale of the soldiers on the human side was quite high.

Wei Lu, who led the cavalry of the Jingbei Army, also began to be eager to try at this time, in Wei Lu's opinion, the battle was almost over, and if he didn't attack at this time, he might not even be able to get the last bit of military merit if he was a little late.

As long as Marquis Wade agrees to Wei Lu's request at this time, then the cavalry of the Jingbei Army will charge like thunder under the leadership of Wei Lu, giving the ogre the final blow and ending the battle completely.

However, Marquis Wade never paid attention to Wei Lu's request to attack, and Wei Lu could only hold back the urge to charge if he wanted to attack.

Marquis Wade controlled the situation on the battlefield from afar, although the proportion of ogre warriors in this ogre tribe was somewhat abnormal, but the overall situation was still under control.

However, he was a little uneasy about the disappearance in his heart, and Lin Xuan's words echoed in his mind when he set out for the expedition.

Beasts basically have a desire to survive and know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and ogres are also intelligent creatures, so why would they do such a thing as sending them to death.

Because there were always some worries in his heart, the Marquis of Wade held Weilu down, and the five thousand cavalry were used as an important reserve force.

……

The tent of the ogre's camp is adorned with all sorts of bony ornaments, from beasts such as bears and wolves to large herbivores such as bison argali, and even human heads with helmets.

At this time, there were dozens of strong ogres sitting densely in the tent, looking at the iron armor on their bodies and the weapons with metallic luster in their hands, I am afraid that they are all strong people above the ogre warriors.

The ogres sitting here didn't seem to be surprised by the situation on the battlefield at all, and they all looked up respectfully.

On the upper seat of the camp stood four stronger-looking ogres, and if the strength of the ogre warriors needed to be carefully observed to see what distinguished them from ordinary ogres,

The four ogres standing on the top of the hall will be focused on as long as they appear in the eyes of the scouts of the Jingbei Army, they are three meters tall and can be said to be extremely conspicuous in a group of more than two meters of ogres.

The full-body metal armor is even more rare among the ogres, and it is almost certain that they are all chieftain-level ogres corresponding to the great knights of the human race, and each of them should be the leader of a large ogre tribe, and at this time, there were four of them in the big tent at the same time.

However, compared to the respectful ogre warriors below, the four ogre chieftains looked a little anxious.

"Lord Priest, the warriors are almost overwhelmed, won't we attack yet?"

"Big brother, if you wait any longer, our warriors will really be defeated."

"What a bunch of rubbish."

There was obviously only one ogre sitting on the big chair on the high platform, but two voices came out strangely.

If you look closely, the thin-looking ogre has two heads on its neck, and it is obvious that these two heads have different consciousnesses to have a conversation.

He wasn't huge, he wasn't even a little skinny compared to an ogre, he was about the same as a normal human, and his skin wasn't a rough and disgusting light green, but smooth with a hint of blue.

"It's a pity that the cavalry never rushed up."

Obviously, the previous show of weakness was to attract more Jingbei troops, and if so many ogre warriors and four ogre chieftains were released at the beginning, Marquis Wade would realize that something was wrong even if he was an idiot.

If the Jingbei army retreats to the fortress and holds the city, with the siege ability of the ogre, it will be difficult to help the castle garrisoned by the Jingbei army for a while.

There are hundreds of ogre tribes in the whole wilderness, large and small, and thousands of ogres are combined into a tribe, usually with a large knight-level ogre chief,

A tribe of one or two hundred ogres may not even have an ogre warrior.

Originally, no matter whether it was a big tribe or a small tribe, they basically lived their own lives, and there was no one who listened to whom, and even there were occasional conflicts between large tribes.

Fortunately, the ogre has been in this state of scattered sand,

Otherwise, if the more than 100,000 ogres in the wilderness are unified, it will definitely be enough for the nobles of the Northland to drink a pot.

But now the situation has changed, and in the ancient belief of ogres, the two-headed ogre priest, the surrogate of the ancestral god in the material world, has appeared.

The two-headed ogre, who was born with extraordinary intelligence, hid under the protection of a large tribe for several years, during which time he also used his special appearance to subdue several large ogre tribes.

In his opinion, humans are the greatest enemy of ogres, and the Jingbei Army is the first enemy he wants to defeat.

The two-headed ogre priest got up from his chair after making up his mind.

"Attack, warriors, crush the humans on the other side and reclaim our land!"

That's right, the territory of the Lords of the Northland was also the scope of ogre activities in the first place.

It's just that the nomadic ogres don't actually have the concept of territory, and this concept is a new creation of the two-headed priests.

But they understood the attack on the humans.

After the ogre two-headed priests launched the order to attack, they all shouted and walked out of the camp and no longer hid.

Four ogre chiefs protected the ogre two-headed priests, and launched a wave of attacks with more than fifty ogre warriors and all the remaining ogre warriors and kobolds.

With such a big movement on the ogre's side, naturally it could not escape the observation of the Jingbei Army.
