"Lord Rutz, the kobolds have spotted a human army marching towards us twenty miles away."

In the ogre camp, an ogre warrior is reporting the movements of the coalition forces to the leader Rutz,

In fact, even in the era of cold weapons, the distance between the armies of the two sides is almost close to the face.

However, after all, the ogre tribe does not have any professional reconnaissance troops, only very primitive reconnaissance methods, and it is normal to find out so late, at least at this distance, there is still time to raise vigilance and prepare for battle.

The coalition side had already detected the movement of the ogre tribe, and Richard had already locked the location of the ogre tribe from the beginning.

"How many human beings are there?"

"There are two or three thousand."

It's hard to hide the number of troops on the plains from the other side's detection, and even less professional scouts like kobolds have estimated the number of coalition forces.

"Only two or three thousand? Are they tired of living? ”

Luz felt a little unbelievable after hearing this, in his common sense, an ogre warrior can fight at least ten human soldiers,

A medium-sized tribe like him, with thousands of kobold vassals, had to have at least half a legion of men to dare to attack them,

There are only two or three thousand people, and no matter how you look at it, it feels like they are here to die.

"Gather the troops, we won't wait here, get ready to fight!"

After learning that the coalition forces numbered only two or three thousand, Luz decided to take the initiative and destroy this human army that dared to provoke him.

"Lord Chief, will there be deception, these humans are the most treacherous."

One of the ogre warriors under Ruz was skeptical.

"Regardless of whether he cheats or not, there are no people hidden on this plain, just with these two or three thousand human beings, our warriors are still afraid."

"Unless, there are dozens of knights in this human army."

Lutz smiled when he said this, if there were dozens of knights in an army of two or three thousand humans, then they could still get here?

"Get ready to attack!"

"Yes!"

When Lutz confirmed the order, the ogre warriors under him did not dare to question it any more, and the entire ogre tribe and kobold vassals began to move.

……

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

The movements of the ogre tribe were clearly observed by Richard through the griffin,

With the issuance of Richard's order, the whole team changed from a marching formation to a combat formation.

According to the previous arrangement, the armies of several nobles were distributed on the two wings, and the army of the system under Richard was placed in the arrow position in the center.

There is no point in putting the armies of several nobles at the front, as they tend to collapse first when facing ogres.

Although Richard's current system army will not be affected by the collapse of friendly forces,

But the other aristocratic coalition forces are also a supplement to the combat power, at least it is no problem to fight a tailwind battle, and there is no need to use it as cannon fodder consumption.

Soon after the coalition army was reorganized, the kobold vanguard came into the sight of the coalition army, and these kobolds were densely packed together.

Ordinary people may still be a little stunned when they see it, but the nobles and soldiers in these territories next to the wilderness have more or less contact with the kobolds, and they know the quality of the kobolds.

In the face of this dense kobold, the entire coalition army has almost no fluctuations, and the real threat is still to come.

Finally, the kobold approached a distance of two or three miles from the coalition forces and stopped,

The tall and ugly ogre appeared in everyone's sight.

It's no different from the two ogres that were exterminated before,

Ruz's tribal warriors already had a basic formation, in addition to Ruz himself and two other ogre warriors, there were nearly dozens of elite ogre warriors wearing iron armor.

Although this iron armor is crudely made, some of the interfaces look even ridiculous, if this kind of craftsmanship appears in Richard's ordnance factory, Richard will immediately have to pull the armor craftsman out and cut it.

But when it appears in the ogre, it is an improvement from scratch, in the past, only the ogre warriors who were equal to the knights of a tribe had the opportunity to put on half of the iron armor, and now this medium-sized tribe can have dozens of iron armors.

Although the quality of these iron armors is poor, the ogre has great strength and can bear greater weight, and these armors are much thicker than the iron armor of ordinary humans.

Although the appearance is a little ugly, the protection is not bad at all.

If there were no reinforcements led by Richard, Luz and these dozens of armored ogre warriors would probably be able to crush the coalition army.

After all, a big man with a height of more than two meters, and an iron armor nearly half a finger thick, a battlefield bulldozer that appears on the battlefield of cold weapons,

When they appear on the battlefield in groups, if there is no strong person to restrain them, they are simply a nightmare existence in front of ordinary soldiers.

After these ogre warriors appeared, the lords of each family showed surprise and even some fear.

Only Richard and Ron's faces are normal, Richard is confident in the crusaders under him, not to mention Ron, creatures several times more terrifying than this have been the battlefield, this armored ogre can only be regarded as a small scene.

"Lord Rutz, the humans have stopped ahead."

The ogres did not attack directly, and stopped a mile away to observe.

"Let the kobold go up and test it."

"Yes"

Anyway, the life of the kobold is not worth much in Lutz's eyes, grab a handful of this thing in the wilderness, and just send it to see if you can test the depth of the human on the other side.

Soon, a small half of the kobold group rushed towards the coalition army.

These little things, which are no more than one meter two or three in height, have a courage that is incomprehensible to Richard,

Armed with sticks and polished stones, they dared to charge at the well-armed and well-formed coalition forces.

If you don't understand it, Richard still quickly gave the order to fight.

"Archer prepare!"

"One hundred steps, eighty steps, fifty steps"

"Put!"

A rain of arrows flew out from the coalition side, and a terrible howl suddenly erupted from the kobold camp,

Although the lethality of arrows against ogres is not enough, the effect of dealing with kobolds is simply not too good, and nearly a hundred kobolds are lying on the ground in a round of arrow rain.

But kobolds are indeed a species with the courage to be fascinated, and two rounds of arrows in a row did not stop the kobold from charging at all.

Soon the kobold had rushed to the front of the coalition formation,

It's just that before and after coming to the coalition front, the kobold faced a more embarrassing situation,

The pikemen in the front row of the human coalition stabbed the kobold to death like a rag, and the kobold's weapons couldn't even reach the humans in front of him.

Luckily, a few kobolds drilled through the spear formation, and before they could attack, they were cut down to the ground by the sword and shield men who had been preparing for a long time.

The kobolds suffered massive losses and did little damage to the coalition forces.

Soon, there was a strange whimper from the ogre array, and the kobolds who had not yet rushed into the coalition army began to retreat.

Although Luz does not spare the lives of kobolds, he also does not want kobolds to consume them so meaninglessly, and such a completely meaningless death is not the use of cannon fodder.
