Warlord: King of All Clans

In two months, the Isenbol Legion did not gain much, but the results achieved were not low.

There are nearly five thousand orcs, and under their pressure, a food crisis has occurred.

Some of these small orc clans gathered together and prepared to fight to the death, but they were crushed by the main human army.

Some could not bear the hunger and finally migrated deeper into the Wolf-Driving Plain to compete with wild tribes or alien races in the wilderness for territory, and were eventually consumed bit by bit.

Or simply retreat back beyond the human defense line and live under the punishment of the superior tribe.

Although these achievements were not as significant as direct gains, they also helped to achieve the goals of the Grand Duke of the North from a strategic perspective.

The Grand Duke of the North expressed great satisfaction with this. After learning from the Legion Commander Arnold that this was all Leo's idea, he valued this young man even more.

The people of the North are all reckless men, and they are never short of brave generals. They can pull out a knight from anywhere and charge at a stronger enemy.

In the eyes of a brainless reckless man, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own is not a derogatory term. After all, there will always be casualties in a war, and a miserable victory is still a victory.

However, in the eyes of a qualified commander, killing the enemy is not the primary goal in war. How to widen the gap between the enemy and us and gain the upper hand is the top priority.

It is very rare to find someone like Leo who can see the commander's strategic intentions and implement them effectively before the commander has made it clear.

Unfortunately, Leo didn't know what the Northern Duke was thinking. He just didn't want to fight too hard, so he simply used the war knowledge from his previous life to force the stupid orc into a desperate situation.

It is a coincidence that it fits in with the strategy of the Grand Duke of the North.

After the Isenbor Legion suffered nearly a thousand casualties and killed nearly three thousand orcs in total, the remaining two thousand people received rotation orders.

It was swapped with the Frovald Legion and became the city defense force.

During the confrontation with the main orc army, there is no need for the main human army to guard the city walls all the time.

Responsible for daily patrols and guarding are the original 2,000 garrison troops of Frowald and the newly recruited Frowald Legion.

Although the former is well equipped, its combat effectiveness is the lowest. After all, as the Earl's main city, Frowald has not been attacked to the city wall in nearly a hundred years.

Almost all of Frowald's city defense forces are minor nobles who have accumulated experience and various people with connections who are drawing salaries without doing any work.

By the time the orcs broke through Varanger, many of the city defense soldiers who were paid to work for the city and whose fathers died for their sons found it difficult to even climb the stairs in their armor.

The Duke of the North saw through the situation at a glance, but did not interfere much. He only asked them to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the city walls and standing guard, just to show off to the main force of the orcs.

If the orcs really want to launch a large-scale attack on the city, of course they will have to withdraw and let the main army take over.

The purpose of rotating the Isenpol Corps to the city walls and performing defensive tasks is to familiarize them with the situation on the city walls of Frovald.

This is to prevent them from not being able to find the way to get up the city wall when they need to go up as substitutes at critical moments.

Compared with patrolling and clearing in the wild, city defense missions are undoubtedly more leisurely.

All you have to do every day is wear armor and patrol a fixed section of the city wall, which is as easy as being a security guard.

As for the enemy's movements, the eagle-eyed sentinels on the corner towers and the military mages are responsible for monitoring them.

The soldiers on the city wall only need to maintain order on the city wall, conserve their energy, and be ready to fight at any time.

But this doesn't mean it's boring, Leo can still see many new things.

The main orc army was blocking outside the city in order to attract the main human army and force them into a confrontation, rather than to wipe out the bulk clans responsible for providing food.

They don't just eat and sleep every day, they always make some noise.

On the third day after Leo walked up the city wall, he saw a large number of wooden components pushed out of the Orc camp. They were assembled into more than 20 large counterweight catapults, which then fired giant stones at the wall of Frovald.

A huge rock as big as a wheel, accompanied by a fierce wind, smashed towards the top of the city, making Leo tremble with fear.

An attack of this magnitude, let alone a low-level transcendent, even a high-level one would not be able to withstand it and could only dodge from a distance.

But when the giant stone flew dozens of meters outside the city wall, the entire wall suddenly glowed with blue light and runes emerged.

The air in front of the city wall seemed to be rising with heat waves, distorting people's vision.

The rapidly falling boulder was like hitting water, and its kinetic energy rapidly decayed.

By the time it was several meters outside the city wall, it had completely lost its kinetic energy, and finally fell straight down into the moat, splashing huge waves.

The Grand Duke of the North, who came to inspect, stood in front of the boulder with his guards, and watched it fall calmly before their eyes.

The human magic corps drew a large gravity magic circle on the wall of Frovald, as if wrapping the wall with a thick layer of water wall.

The attack power of the huge rock that smashed into this virtual "water wall" was neutralized.

But this does not mean that the human race is free of pressure. The gravity array that withstands the attack will consume a large amount of magic energy. Some arrays will even explode, requiring emergency repairs by the mages.

After the orcs' catapults stopped attacking, the humans' catapults began to show their power.

The counterweight catapults carefully crafted by these human craftsmen have far more accurate trajectory, longer range, and greater number than the shoddy catapults made by the Orcs.

The boulders they projected were not randomly cut stones, but spherical boulders polished by craftsmen.

The spherical boulder flew out from behind the city wall with a more graceful arc and fell into the orc trebuchet position.

Some of them created huge pits and sank deep into the soil.

Some of them rolled forward and plowed a trench dozens of meters long.

Some of the boulders directly hit the orcs' counterweight catapults, smashing the huge wooden supports into pieces.

The exploding wooden spikes scattered across the sky like crossbow arrows, making the orcs below howl in agony.

Soon, the orcs' catapults were completely destroyed.

But it is hard to say which side suffered the most. The human race consumed a large amount of magic energy and rolling stones, while the orcs lost a few cannon fodders and a batch of makeshift catapults and stones.

Within ten days or half a month, they will be able to make another batch of siege weapons to test.

In addition, there is also a duel between the two methods.

On the tenth day of Leo's defense of the city, he keenly felt that something was wrong. When he looked up, the sky had become extremely dark.

Dense dark clouds gathered in the sky above Frovald, and huge lightning flashed and exploded in the clouds.

Ten minutes later, hail began to fall from the sky.

The dense hail was only the size of ping-pong balls at first, but became fist-sized in just a few minutes.

The bricks and tiles of Frowald's houses were shattered, and people who had no shelter suffered heavy casualties.

But within a few minutes, the winds began to surge, forming a huge tornado in the city and then rising into the sky.

A huge tornado crashed into the clouds, tearing the dark clouds into pieces, and the hail and rain disappeared.

The wind and clouds were surging, the sky became clear, and the warm spring sun appeared again.

This magic showdown was equally thrilling and made people call it a miracle.

But apart from the two parties who took action, no one knows who is stronger and who is weaker.
