Warlord: King of All Clans

Compared to the constant fighting and risking his life, Leo actually prefers this leisurely job of defending the city.

Of course, the ideal situation would be to rely on one's own advantages to drag the enemy down without a fight.

In a racial war of this level, he was just an insignificant little character who could be hit by a crossbow or targeted by an extraordinary strong man at any time.

It would be best if the beastmen couldn't hold on any longer and retreated on their own initiative, and then let him go home to farm!

Moreover, this kind of large city is indestructible and is monitored by the human magic corps, so it cannot be taken down by surprise attack.

It took the orcs more than an hour or two to prepare siege equipment in the legion camp, form up for the attack, and approach the city walls of Frovald.

The guards on the city wall had enough time to react.

Leo only needs to eat, sleep and work shifts according to orders. The psychological pressure is much less than when he is out on a clearing mission, which is more in line with his mental outlook as a corporate slave.

Unfortunately, things went against one's wishes. One month after being transferred to the city wall, a dull and powerful horn sound was heard from the Orc Legion camp.

The entire orc army camp seemed to come alive, with countless orc troops pouring out. Counterweight catapults and stone crossbows were pushed to the front of the formation, and after being fixed, they began to throw stones at Frovald.

At first Leo thought it was just like the previous one, a consumable attack on the city.

But with the emergence of a large number of siege towers, ladders, battering rams, wooden chariots, and more orc troops, Leo realized that the orcs were planning to attack the city.

The bell in the corner tower on the city wall was rung early, and a surge of people rushed onto the wall. The officers shouted loudly and began to enter combat status.

The city wall beneath my feet shook slightly, and a dull humming sound was heard. Then a heat wave rose in the air above the city wall, and the gravity array was activated.

It takes time to open and close the city wall's gravity array, and once it is opened, it is impossible to judge enemy and friendly attacks.

The stone bullets fired by the counterweight catapults in the city will also be affected by gravity and their trajectories will change, so they cannot fire against the orc catapults outside the city.

But the light stone crossbows and ballistas on the city walls were not affected. Their projection angles were lower and their trajectories were below the gravity array.

However, these small city defense weapons have a lower range and cannot attack the counterweight catapults in the distance. They can only wait quietly for the siege troops to approach.

It has to be said that the military technology of the Orlantis Empire is far more advanced than Leo imagined.

Not to mention those extraordinary things, even the conventional war equipment is almost at the peak of the cold weapon era.

The crossbows and light stone crossbows on the city walls were standardized military products with a large number of copper and iron parts and complex structures. Their technological level was an era higher than that of the second-hand crossbows obtained by Uliyan and the crude stone crossbows made by Hewan.

Leo was drooling at the sight and wanted to dismantle a few of them to study.

But these things were all made by master craftsmen from the Earl's and the Duke's Palaces. Ordinary local craftsmen might not be able to imitate them even with the blueprints.

Compared with the Earl and the Grand Duke of the North, the current economic strength and industrial base of Hewan are still those of a small town in the backward mountainous area, and it cannot afford the manufacturing and maintenance costs of these high-end weapons.

After watching the orcs' catapults smashing the city for a while, Leo prepared to leave the city wall and give the battle position to the main army.

Under the command of the officers, Frowald's regular city defense forces and the Isenpol Legion were driven off the city walls and replaced by senior soldiers from Count Gustav's Legion and Count Beboos's Legion.

Compared to the Isenbol Legion, where half of the soldiers were leather-armored conscripts, the Earl's main legion had regular armored soldiers at the lowest level. Even the Imperial Longbowmen and Imperial Crossbowmen had a heavy chain mail shirt and an iron helmet.

Those armored knights and knight squires dismounted, and they were also heavy-armored elites with strong combat capabilities. Therefore, there were also a considerable number of heavy-armored elite infantry and extraordinary officers in the Earl's main army.

Coupled with the twelve-meter-high city wall, no one thought that Frovald would be undefendable.

Just as Leo reached the steps of the city wall, a voice came from behind him: "Leo Mundo, you stay."

Leo looked back and saw that it was the Grand Duke of the North in person.

There was a large group of people around him, all of them important figures wearing luxurious plate armor.

Of the three earl armies that came to support, only Count Forelof led Count Beowulf and Count Beboos in the east to personally lead their troops.

The Earldom of Gustav is located south of Fřelov, separated from the southern border by the Fabados Mountains and the Dom River. It is currently in a tense standoff with its southern neighbors.

His earl's legion had the smallest number of men, only three thousand, which was the minimum requirement for the northern earl's legion to be called up.

But as compensation, he also dispatched two high-ranking Grand Knight Commanders as the chief and deputy legion commanders to provide the Grand Duke of the North with extraordinary combat power.

Extraordinary Knights have a system title. Extraordinary Knights who are promoted to the middle level are called Knight Commander, and those who are promoted to the higher level are called Grand Knight Commander.

But this is a very formal title, and in the folks it is generally just called the Extraordinary Knight.

Only those extraordinary knights who truly hold the title of Grand Master of a Knightly Order will be respectfully addressed as Knight Commander or Grand Knight Commander.

In addition, there are extraordinary swordsmen, mid-level swordsmen, and high-level great swordsmen.

Extraordinary magician, intermediate magician, and high-level magician.

There are not many high-end combat forces in the North. Apart from those reclusive figures, there is only one saint known to the world, the great wizard Runadolf who is in charge of the holy city of Ancestor.

Therefore, high-level extraordinary people from level seven to level nine are already high-end existences among the extraordinary levels in the mortal world, and are worthy of being treated as guests of honor by all the major earls.

In fact, there are only three high-level extraordinary people who can be named in the entire Earldom of Fruilov, and the strongest high-level Grand Knight has been killed under the siege of the orcs.

Currently, the strongest fighting force in Frovald is the Grand Duke of the North, the High-ranking Grand Knight Commander, the ninth-level peak swordsman, and Mitchell Odalov, who is respected as the Sword Saint of the North.

Count Beowulf behind him is also a living legend, an eighth-level high-level swordsman.

The other Count Beboos was only at the level of a mid-level wizard.

Inheriting the position of head of a noble family requires more than just one's extraordinary strength; brains, connections, and influence are also important.

Moreover, after becoming the head of a large family, one will be burdened with a lot of mundane affairs, and it is rare to be able to continue to move forward rapidly on the path to transcendence.

During this period of time, Leo had seen the appearance of these important figures to some extent, so after meeting the Grand Duke of the North, he saluted to the other legion commanders and deputy commanders one by one.

The two northern earls and four or five great knights all looked at the young man in front of them with curiosity.

It was as if he wanted to see something from him, to understand why the respected Grand Duke of the North could call out his name.

He obediently followed the Grand Duke of the North to the observation deck on the city tower above the city gate. At this time, the large army of the orcs had already assembled and formed a military formation and marched towards Frovald.

The siege officially began.
