“Children, yesterday you ate and drank your fill. Today is the moment you must fight!”

Ogre Boulder gazed at the emerald-green, mirror-like waters of Green Lake and the hilltop beside it that had lost its peak. He raised his newly forged iron long staff and slammed it into the ground, instantly scattering a piece of the original rock.

Boulder was very satisfied with the iron staff in his hand. The handle of the iron staff was refined according to the size of Boulder's palm, and a layer of animal skin was wrapped around it to make it easier for Boulder to exert force without slipping. Above the handle, it became thicker and stronger. The 1.7-meter-long staff body was even as thick as Boulder's arm at the top. The entire iron staff weighed more than two hundred pounds. Just a casual smash could cause great damage, bringing Boulder's natural brute force to the extreme, which also fit his advanced profession as a strongman.

“As long as you can break through the village of those green skins ahead, all the food in the village will be yours!! After you break through this village, you can also have your own refined iron weapons like me!!!”

“Charge!!!”

“Woo-oh!!!”

Fifteen ogres swung their arms, waving the ironwood clubs in their hands, and roared excitedly, heading towards the village in front that was surrounded by logs. Their messy footsteps smashed on the ground, bringing up a cloud of dust and causing the ground to tremble slightly, which showed how powerful these thick-waisted, strong, and tall ogres were.

Under the temptation of food and iron weapons, Boulder's pre-war speech completely plunged the ogres under his command into fanaticism. Ogres didn't need much from the outside world. As long as the hunting resources in their occupied territory were abundant, they could hunt easily, and almost no other predators could compete with them. In order to adapt to the unpredictable environment of nature, ogres also accumulated fat to avoid the dilemma of not being able to obtain prey in a short time, and they didn't make strenuous movements to consume energy. This created their lazy character and self-sufficient mentality.

Only food and weapons could move the ogres' lazy minds and give them a little motivation.

“They’re here!! Prepare for battle!!”

The arrival of the ogres was fast, but the Green Field Tribe, which had begun to pay attention to the surrounding environment, reacted just as quickly. When the tall figures of the ogres appeared on the horizon, the goblin warrior on the watchtower spotted them and rang the alarm bell for the enemy's invasion.

Flower Snake, who had climbed onto the wall, began to shout loudly, while his eyes swept across the uneven goblin heads on the wall to check their condition. The situation was better than he had imagined. Although the goblin warriors had uneasy and fearful expressions on their faces, at least Flower Snake hadn't seen any signs of them wanting to escape. He just didn't know how long the tribesmen could last when the ogres rushed up later.

“Thump! Thump thump!”

The muffled footsteps gradually approached. When viewed from a distance, the ogres only seemed a bit too strong, but when they approached within two hundred yards of the village, their bodies, which were half a head taller than the hobgoblins, with round bellies and thighs thicker than the goblins' waists, gave the hobgoblins a considerable shock. In the past, most of the ogres they saw were lone, elderly ogres. Even these thin ogres were not something the hobgoblins dared to provoke, because adult ogres had at least level 7 warrior strength, comparable to the leaders of a small goblin settlement.

“Javelins, throw!!!”

The training of many days had an effect at this moment. As javelins made of ironwood shot out from the hands of the goblin tribesmen, they fell like a rain of arrows toward the path the ogres came from, with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air. Long-term training had greatly increased the arm strength of the goblin warriors, and their overall strength had also increased a lot, so the accuracy of throwing javelins had also improved a lot.

Big Mountain nervously watched the javelins climb into the sky and then slowly fall, landing straight into the ogres' advancing ranks.

“Ha~~~”

The ogres were not alarmed either. The ironwood clubs in their hands, as thick as the hobgoblins' bodies, turned into a gray-brown wall of clubs. The sharp spearheads smashed hard on the wall of clubs, and were casually thrown away by the ogres. Only 2-3 ogres were scratched by the javelins, and a few streaks of dark red blood flowed out.

“Javelins, throw!!!”

Flower Snake didn't pay too much attention to how much damage the javelins did. Instead, he seized the time to have the tribesmen throw a few more rounds of javelins while the opponents hadn't approached the outer perimeter of the village. If he could take the opportunity to kill two ogres, that would be a very profitable thing.

Another two rounds of javelins only caused some superficial wounds to the 15 ogres charging in the front. However, the thick-skinned and rough-fleshed ogres completely ignored these injuries. The pace of their charge didn't hesitate at all, and they rushed to the outside of Green Lake Village's fence. The thick wooden clubs slammed down like heavy hammers, causing the entire village fence to tremble.

“Make way!! Make way!!”

The females in Green Lake Village were not idle either. While the males were fighting the enemy, the females, led by Philip and Tea Flower, carried buckets of boiling water that had just been boiled to the east wall, and then used ropes to send them to the wall.

“Splash!!!”

“Ah!!!!”

The ogres, who hadn't suffered much damage from the javelins, screamed when they were drenched by a few buckets of boiling water, and ran away jumping and stomping their feet while covering their bodies and faces in a rage. The injury of their tribesmen did not bring the slightest shake to the ogres' fighting will, but instead aroused their stronger killing intent. The wooden clubs in their hands swung even more forcefully and heavily. The goblin warriors on the wall, facing the crumbling wall, did not escape. Instead, they raised spears and stabbed at the ogres under the wall, not stopping until they had stabbed the target in front of them to the ground.

“All of you, get out of the way!!”

Ogre Boulder, who had arrived late, shouted loudly, and then the dark iron staff in his hand fell from the sky. With a loud “Bang!!”, the logs as thick as hobgoblins' waists made a painful creaking sound, but in the end, they still stood firm.

“You dare!!!”

Flower Snake was also extremely angry. He jumped directly from the wall, and a long and a short weapon stabbed towards Boulder's head. Boulder flicked his iron staff backhand, and an iron curtain greeted Flower Snake's stab. With a crisp clang, the long sword and the iron staff fought, turning into a drawn bow and then returning to its original shape. Flower Snake was knocked back after several rolls in the air. Then, he grabbed the top of the wall with one hand and hung on the wall like this. At this time, Boulder smashed down with another club. This time, the wall of Green Lake Village could no longer withstand the opponent's swing, and it broke into two pieces with a roar, tearing open a gap more than 3 meters wide.

“A'Xiao, stop the leader on the opposite side with me!!”

Flower Snake turned his head and shouted in the direction of A'Xiao. He dodged the impact of a wooden club, borrowed strength from the wall under his feet, and shot towards Boulder again.

“…Ah, here it comes!!”

A'Xiao's hands holding the studded club appeared pale, which was because he was too nervous. At this time, he looked back at the direction of his home. He finally made up his mind, crossed the wall, jumped to the outside of the village, and ran towards the location of Flower Snake and the ogre leader.

The ogres were crowding in along the gap opened by the leader, fighting with the goblin tribesmen who jumped down from the wall. A tragic fight broke out.

Flower Snake had only one thought in mind: he must not let this powerful ogre break into their village. Otherwise, with the opponent's combat power and weapon power, the entire village would probably be overturned by him. Desperately, Flower Snake used his most powerful footwork, and one person split into three phantoms, interspersed and broke into Boulder in front of him. His long sword blocked the heavy iron club's swing, and he used the force to strike the opponent's non-vital parts with a dagger.

Until A'Xiao rushed over, and the studded club blocked Boulder's heavy blow head-on, finally giving Flower Snake a chance to breathe. He retreated from the front of the opponent and took a deep breath of fresh air.
