Then there were the more numerous orcs, now numbering six hundred and eighty-one, forming a six-company battle battalion, the main infantry force in the war.

Finally, there is the largest number of goblins, namely the three bear goblins, the big goblins and the ordinary goblins, because the ordinary goblins are all sent to be miscellaneous or craftsmen because of their physical fitness, and they are stuffed into the logistics department, and the smarter ones can be converted to formal service, as for the stupid ordinary goblins who can't be supported, when they need cannon fodder, they will be pushed out.

Then there are the big goblins and bear goblins, the bear goblins are fierce and brave, second only to the trolls in terms of individual strength, and they are the charging troops that follow the trolls in the war, and most of the simple protective gear is equipped on them.

Then there are the goblins, the goblins are second to the bear goblins in individual force and stronger than the gnolls, and they are naturally good at group combat like bee colonies and ant colonies, and belong to the hoplite troops.

There are thousands of ordinary goblins, and these goblins don't deserve much detail, because they eat less and work more, and all of them are characters who live and die quickly.

There are only eighty-two bear goblins, and there are two hundred and ninety-one goblins in the big goblins, and if you pick a few stronger ordinary goblins for each of them, you can make up a hundred integers for each of the four companies.

It is worth mentioning that the goblins in this world do not have the premise that they must rely on other races to reproduce, because this world has a mother goblin...... In the eyes of the goblins, almost all human women or elven women are very ugly, and their aesthetics are different.

Just as the meeting was coming to an end, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"Lord Castle! The dwarves are attacking us again! ”

Hearing the goblin's shouting, all the managers here had a war intent and anger on their faces.

Zhou Dong's spiritual energy swung out like ripples, and he instantly understood what was going on.

Kelder's affair was exposed almost a month ago, and I don't know how these dwarves found out that he was actually the owner of this place, so the original deal continued, and the dwarves directly sent troops to attack the Morning Star Castle.

However, Zhou Dong's subordinates managed the castle on the hill very strongly, although they attacked four times in a month, basically every seven days, but at most they only killed some of the patrols at the foot of the mountain, and then killed hundreds of people with catapults, and the dwarves also destroyed some of the outer buildings, but they could not help the other enemies hiding in the strong fortifications.

Zhou Dong went through these details carefully, but the reality was that only a few seconds had passed, and he had plenty of time to prepare.

Under his personal command, one order after another was issued, and although the transmission process was not very smooth, it barely had the flavor of some forbidden purpose, which was enough for these mostly stupid aliens to carry out these orders well.

Zhou Dong first had all the outside patrols and staff quickly shrink back to the castle, while at the same time getting a mobile company out of the mountain through a secret tunnel that had only been completed in recent days.

The first dwarven force to appear was not infantry, but a group of dwarven eagle knights with a number of about a dozen, these dwarves did not know how to tame a nest of flying eagles, and a dozen dwarves rode eagles, constantly circling at a height of several hundred meters from the castle.

Now they are just scouting, which is relatively good, because the first four battles have consumed most of the dwarves' gunpowder stocks, and the first two waves of attacks, these dwarf eagle knights, but directly drop gunpowder bombs in the air.

But now, although there are no black powder bombs, these dwarves still threw some fiery plastic bottles made of alchemy, which landed on the wooden buildings outside the mountain, and they were booming and burning.

It's just that we are not all stupid, at least the management class picked out by Zhou Dong is at least an ordinary person's IQ, for those places on fire, there are immediately those goblins who are classified as cannon fodder, and the goblin overseer behind waved his whip and let them rush over, and splashed it with his hands full of fine sand and water and wooden barrels, and quickly controlled the fire.

But this was only the first shot of the war, and the Dwarven Eagle Knight came to cause trouble, causing the rest of the troops to retreat a little slower, but when most of them were already halfway up the mountain, the dwarven army also came to the bottom of the mountain.

Zhou Dong stood fearlessly on the only wooden arrow tower that had not been thrown by the blazing plastic bottle, looking down at the dwarven army from above.

The dwarves numbered about six hundred, but seven of them were in sturdy armor, armed with heavy hammers and other weapons, accompanied by several priests and mages.

However, what made Zhou Dong's eyelids jump early was a full ten catapults, you must know that from the memories of his subordinates, he saw that it was only from four to six, but this time the dwarves seemed to be more prepared.

Because he has suffered the loss of our long-range attack, this is specially arranged by Zhou Dong, there are many arms with amazing arm strength under his hands that can be used, naturally there are many big crossbows, two or three orcs or goblins with a small mobile ballista, in a strong fortress, they are condescending blows, the maximum range can cover a full five hundred meters, but the accuracy cannot be forced at the longest distance.

But there are at least thirty or more mobile ballistae on Zhou Dong's side, when they gather together to fire a salvo, basically each round can take the lives of at least a few dwarves, after the arrows are wrapped in iron, the initial high rate of fire of the crossbow arrows plus the high impact force bonus, they can even easily penetrate the dwarves' medium armor and light armor protection in addition to heavy armor, and directly nail the dwarves to the ground!

It's just that after a round, the dwarves this time were also prepared, and they turned their hands over, and raised the large iron-clad wooden shield obliquely above their heads, which can better remove part of the impact of the crossbow bolt than the flat lift, and achieve the effect of higher defense.

Looking down from the sky, a large shield with a width of meters forms a sea of shields, which is also quite magnificent.

The second round of crossbow arrows also formed a small wave of arrows again, focusing on the most densely populated areas of the dwarves, but this time the arrows did not pin the dwarves to the ground as easily as expected, some of the arrows fell at an angle that happened to be greatly weakened by the angle of the shield's tilt, and some of them just happened to pass through the shield head-on, but this kinetic energy was attracted by the shield for most of the part, and the rest was only enough to pass an arrow through the shield, and it could not threaten the dwarves under the shield at all.
