Warlord: King of All Clans

The ogre leader Kroger had already been agitated by the smell of blood on the battlefield. Upon hearing Ivan's order, he hurriedly led his people to the front line.

Next to them was the River Bay Heavy Infantry Regiment, composed entirely of regular armored infantry, with many squad leaders wearing plate chest armor and steel shoulders.

Both Urian and Leo attached great importance to the armor rate of the lord's army, and after becoming prosperous, they no longer looked down on the hard leather armor of the conscripted soldiers.

Gladstone, Adonis, and Tariq Lordships all donated a large number of regular armor to River Bay. Together with the batch purchased by River Bay itself, it was enough to equip all the River Bay Lordship's troops with iron armor.

Even the archers and giant shield crossbowmen have heavy chain mail and iron helmets as protective gear, which is enough to compete with the long-range projectile troops of the Empire's regular legion.

After all, in the war-torn northern border, if the saved money is not converted into military power, it will only become war reparations.

Some powerful infantry soldiers have been upgraded to the level of heavy-armored elite soldiers. Their armor weighs more than 100 kilograms, but they can move like regular soldiers during battle.

The human heavy infantry of the River Bay followed the heavy-armored ogres in small teams as auxiliary combat force, but kept a certain distance.

After all, when an ogre goes crazy, he will swing his iron-inlaid club weighing more than a hundred pounds at will, regardless of whether it is an enemy or a friend.

Kroger roared, calmed down the tribesmen who were about to go berserk, and then leaned over to see the situation outside the city.

In fact, they are not easily driven crazy by blood and killing. The main reason that causes ogres to go crazy is that they feel a serious threat to their lives.

Krog had acted very relaxed in the last battle at Stonecrush Fort, but this time, the dense coverage of artillery and explosives at River Bend made the ogres tremble with fear.

The survival instinct of the wild aliens made all the ogres anxious.

Given Kroger's size, it was obviously difficult for him to stick his head out to see what was happening below the city. Before he even lowered his head, his round belly hit the parapet.

The one-foot-thick wall could not withstand his impact and collapsed outward, leaving a two-meter-wide gap.

Several troll warriors who were climbing upwards below were immediately knocked down by the falling bricks and stones, but the other trolls also saw the opportunity and climbed towards the gap.

What greeted them was Kruger's huge belly.

But now, there is a heavy bronze pot on his belly. This bronze pot alone weighs two hundred kilograms, and the thickest part in the center is nearly two centimeters.

Several spears thrown by the troll headhunters hit Kroger's belly, making a sound like the sound of a muffled bell.

The spear hit the copper pot and broke into pieces. Kroger's belly swayed, but he was unaware of it.

In the past, the powerful troll javelins were enough to penetrate his thick skin and the twenty centimeters of fat layer in his belly and penetrate deep into his internal organs.

Even if they can't inflict serious damage on him, the concentrated shots from three or five troll javelins can at least damage his fighting power.

But now, because of his obstructed vision, Kroger could not see the attack from below and barely noticed the troll's attack.

He bent down hard and finally saw the troll clinging to the city wall.

"So many! So many!"

Seeing the dense swarms of troll ants approaching, Kroger became a little panicked. He quickly stretched out the wooden stick in his hand and swept it across the city wall.

The two trolls that had just approached were hit on the head by the heavy iron hoops on the wooden sticks and fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Seeing that he couldn't reach the troll below, Krog simply lay on the ground, stretched out one hand, hung the wooden stick under the city wall, and swung it back and forth.

The two-meter-long wooden stick, coupled with his strong arms, rolled back and forth on the city wall like a pendulum clock, sweeping down the trolls that were clinging to the wall.

Even the javelins that were nailed into the wall were cleared away.

A peaceful war turned into a tower defense game in front of Kroger!

His nine tribesmen followed suit, breaking through the parapets and lying on the ground paddling in the water, acting as a new type of weapon to defend the city.

Lying on the ground, swinging the wooden stick back and forth, sweeping away all the approaching trolls, feeling the "𠳐𠳐" sound coming from their bodies - this was the sound of spears and axes hitting the bronze armor. Some ogres began to feel that fighting with the Rivermen was indeed much easier than hunting.

The bronze armor of the ogre was Strong's idea. Hewan didn't have any extra copper, nor was he so fanciful as to fit the ogre with armor weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Due to the conservatism and prejudice of the human race, most people still view ogres as a threat and are wary of them.

But the copper that the kobolds kept for themselves was actually more abundant than that of the River Bend people. Their craftsman system was very weak, and apart from casting copper cannons, they hardly knew how to do anything else with the copper.

Moreover, the cannon-making technology of the kobolds was too crude. After Strong got the "Centurion" made by the River Bend craftsmen, he looked down on the primitive muskets made by the kobold craftsmen.

Part of the copper allocated to him was sent to the Riverbend Forge to cast copper cannons, and part was thrown by him to the kobold craftsmen to cast ten sets of simple but heavy bronze armor for the ogres.

Kroger liked Strong's gift very much and immediately said that he was a loyal fat kobold tribe and a member of the kobold tribe.

Always loyal to the Kobold King Fisa, and willing to obey Strong's leadership.

Of course, we cannot favor one over the other and forget our old employer when we have a new one.

When Krog joined the Kobold Tribe, he also joined Ivan's Riverbend Infantry Regiment.

Poor Strong paid thousands of pounds of copper and a month's work by dozens of kobold craftsmen, only to get more than a dozen honorary-titled kobolds.

This time, when supporting Gravel Fort, Ivan also brought the Armored Ogre in order to reduce the casualties of his own men.

He has become very familiar with the ogres, has a basic understanding of their temperament, and knows many techniques to use them.

The ten heavily-armored ogre infantrymen, occupying the terrain advantage on the top of the city wall, were no match for the trolls.

After the front troops were cleared out by the ogres, the troll siege fighters had to avoid them and attack the weakly defended areas.

The 500-meter-long city wall could not accommodate too many troll warriors. Some leaders began to lead their tribesmen to climb the stone walls on both sides, trying to climb up the cliff and attack the city wall from above.

But the defense system of the Gravel Fort had already taken this into consideration. Holes were dug on the cliffs on both sides, and wooden stakes were inserted to build a passable plank road.

A large number of wild hunters stood on a plank road higher than the city wall and shot arrows down.

There were also some veteran militiamen from Gravel Fort, who were frantically throwing boulders that they had stored for a long time.

The trolls below were packed so densely together that there was almost no need to aim; as long as a projectile fell, it would cause casualties.

But the trolls were too numerous and fearless.

Cannons, catapults, and crossbows that were capable of causing large-scale casualties fell into blind spots and became ineffective as the trolls approached the city walls.

Soon, after suffering heavy casualties, the trolls finally squeezed onto the city wall.
