Warlord: King of All Clans

Leo saw the entire animation of the troll's defeat.

After establishing contact with Ai'er, Leo has been keeping an eye on the movements of the troll army.

However, the insight provided by El remotely needs to be maintained through teleportation spells. With Leo's current magic power, he can only last for one minute.

But Leo quickly optimized the communication method. He asked Al to record the battle in Gravel Castle by recording video and then transmit it to his mind.

The live broadcast becomes a recorded broadcast, so there is no need to maintain mental transmission all the time.

After being influenced by modern science and technology, many changes in thinking have become extremely simple.

After finding a new way to play for El, helping her gain new followers, and promising to sell her a batch of food at a "low price", El became more willing to help.

It’s just that El’s power is restricted to the atrium. Once out of the seal of the atrium, except for the elf turret, he has almost no means to interfere with reality.

At present, she can only serve as a signal base station and communication tool, or help to play tricks like before.

The battle at Gravel Fort was extremely brutal. Nearly one hundred Hewan heavy infantrymen were killed or wounded, a large number of crossbows and catapults were destroyed, and the ammunition for defending the city was severely depleted.

The entire city wall was almost completely destroyed, with 70% of the bricks on the surface collapsed, revealing a large area of ​​rammed earth and stone slabs.

The crossbows and catapults on the city walls were targeted first by the troll warriors and were destroyed as soon as they reached the city walls.

The troll warriors are inherently stronger than humans, and with their arm length and height advantages, they make it difficult for human infantry to withstand their powerful hacking attacks.

Fortunately, the trolls' weapons were outdated and they could not move freely on the city walls. After the hunting spears and hand axes penetrated the iron armor, the damage caused was reduced by at least half, and most of it was blunt damage.

Except for the smashed head part, most of the injured human warriors could be rescued.

Moreover, although the most powerful troll headhunters have terrifying long-range killing power, the number of short spears they carry is limited, with an average of less than four per person.

Like the human race's arrows and ammunition, troll javelins are also consumables, and it is obvious that their logistical support is weaker.

From the trolls' perspective, this battle could be described as a one-sided massacre.

After artillery fire, bombardment by catapults and crossbows, and continuous shooting by wild hunters, the trolls lost nearly two thousand warriors before they could reach the city wall.

Then during the siege, there were the ogres' pendulums, the soldiers' rolling stones, and finally the huge explosion caused by the kobold demolitionists, which took the lives of nearly a thousand trolls.

The total number of trolls that actually climbed onto the city wall was less than three hundred.

The total number of trolls that finally escaped was less than two thousand, and countless of them were injured.

The powerful Taz, despite being covered in arrows, fled into the gravel hills with the rest of his tribesmen.

Wood did not order a pursuit. These trolls were individually powerful, and a rash pursuit would only increase their own casualties and would not gain any advantage.

Taz underestimated the defensive capabilities of Stonecrush Fort, but Leo also underestimated the offensive capabilities of the troll army.

He didn't believe that the troll army without even a ladder could attack the carefully built stone fortress walls of the river bend, but in the end they actually did.

If it weren't for the power of gunpowder that made the remaining trolls dare not climb the city wall, even with the Wind Knights and Armored Ogres in charge, the two thousand trolls would have caused heavy casualties to the defenders of Stonebreaker Castle, and might even have broken through the defense line, entered the city, and entered the street fighting stage.

Or if the troll army was not so reckless and prepared some siege equipment, even if it was just building a few ladders or making some thick wooden tower shields to block the rain of arrows, perhaps the outcome would have changed.

It turns out that for many things, only after experiencing them can we make a more accurate judgment.

Leo sighed as he watched Taz lead the remnants of the troll army into the gravel hills.

These trolls have strong survivability in the wild, and their individual combat power crushes humans, making them a real trouble.

To the southeast of the gravel hills is the planned United Knights Territory. Manpower and materials are ready, waiting to be developed in the spring.

But these knights were weak in military strength. Let alone more than a thousand trolls, a sudden attack by more than a hundred trolls could cause heavy damage to a village.

Leo must find a way to drive them away or eliminate them as soon as possible.

After the battle, Wood ordered his troops to clean up the battlefield quickly to prevent the trolls from launching a sneak attack at night, although the probability of this happening was low.

The sturdy double gates were opened, and the young and strong laborers of Stonebreak Castle lined up and walked out of the city to start clearing out the troll corpses and picking up arrows and boulders.

Prior to this, Gravel Castle had conducted two joint exercises and encountered several tentative attacks from alien tribes. Although the laborers did not participate in the battles, they were very skilled in cleaning up the mess.

But this time, facing the piles of troll corpses, the young and strong laborers were so frightened that they didn't even dare to move forward.

The tall and burly troll corpse required the combined efforts of two strong humans to drag it, and its huge fangs could easily pierce their coarse cloth boots.

Those trolls who were still alive needed regular soldiers to carefully finish them off with spears, otherwise the young and strong laborers with low combat power could be killed with one hand.

Nairn followed behind Wood, baring his teeth again and again, trying to bite Wood's leg armor.

Wood said helplessly: "Why did you bite me? I didn't offend you."

"Woof woof woof! Give me back my city wall! I spent a year building this city wall!"

"This is battle damage, not caused by me."

"You ordered it!" Nairn's eyes were filled with tears. "I don't care, you pay to fix it!"

"Okay!" Wood agreed readily.

The construction of Nain's city wall was a civil engineering project, and they needed Olivia's signature to allocate funds.

He was building the city wall, which was a military facility, and he asked Leo to sign for funding, so in his opinion there was no difference.

But it was different for Nain. Expenses of dozens or hundreds of gold were wiped out, and the accounts suddenly looked much better. He could continue to receive praise from the mistress this quarter.

Maybe at the end of the year, he could even surpass the Rambo Rabbit from Hekou Town!

Hearing the conversation between the two, Mage Morse was very confused and asked quietly: "Knight Wood, isn't this your little pet?"

"Well...just take it as it is."

Nain, who had sharp ears, immediately became angry, but at this time a labor team leader came up to report. Nain could only listen to his report patiently and arrange the work of his subordinates before turning around and barking at Master Morse.

After shouting twice, Nain suddenly realized that this was a powerful human wizard who could burn it to ashes with a fireball.

He quickly tucked his tail in and hid behind Wood, only then did he let out a cry of relief when a dog's head popped out from under his crotch.

So what if he's a human mage? My best friend is a wind knight!
