Warlord: King of All Clans

After watching the battle at Gravel Castle, Leo felt relieved. Although the process was a bit dangerous, it was basically in line with his judgment.

The troll warrior who wanted to capture Stonebreaker Fort by surprise attack and establish an eternal foundation once again experienced the power of the human race at the cost of losing half of his young and strong men.

In fact, his tactics were not bad. He used two vassal groups as bait to lure the human main force into the wilderness, preventing them from turning back to provide support.

Then he launched a surprise attack on Gravel Fort, personally leading the charge and reaching the top of the city in one go.

If it were a traditional human checkpoint in the Northern Territory, he might have captured it in one fell swoop.

With Gravel Fort as a base and defending the city, even if a reorganized army of Northern Earls came, it would not be possible to retake Gravel Fort.

But he underestimated the defense of Gravel Fort, which was the bridgehead for River Bay facing the wild aliens, and its defensive material reserves ranked first among the four towns in River Bay.

Behind it, there are gravel roads and Linhai Avenue that provide convenient transportation, which can transport troops from Linhai Town and Hewan Town within a day.

Although the legion led by Leo was trapped in the Gravel Hills, a lot of troops had been mobilized to garrison in Gravel Fort before the war.

More than half of the extraordinary combat forces in the river bend are also waiting for the call to battle in the Gravel Fort.

If the troll army did not attack the Riverbend, then Leo would have no way to deal with them, and he would never fight the trolls in the wild.

It would take at least another year or two for the Riverbend's military to be reorganized before any attempt would be made to eliminate this threat.

While paying attention to the battle situation in Gravel Fort, Leo was not idle either. While there was no threat around, he quickly ordered the soldiers of the legion to take off their armor and repair the walls of the ancient city ruins.

More than half of the one thousand River Bay lords under his command were skilled laborers and could be considered half engineers. Under the leadership of their respective officers, they quickly transformed the abandoned city walls into reliable defense facilities.

Led by them, the remaining soldiers of the Petukhov Corps, Isenkulov Corps and Hobert Corps followed to repair the city walls.

Unfortunately, these city walls are severely weathered, the foundations are damaged, and large areas of collapse are everywhere.

If you want to repair it to a satisfactory level, the manpower and material resources consumed will be worse than tearing it down and rebuilding it.

The Legion did not carry much construction equipment and was unable to carry out large projects.

Leo could only ask the soldiers to reinforce it with stones and logs, which made it at least much stronger than ordinary legion camps.

While Leo was repairing the city wall, Taz was treating his wounds in the makeshift camp.

His body was covered with horrible holes, and his skin and flesh were turned upside down and shrunken like a fish's mouth.

A member of the royal guard was using a skinning knife to pry the arrow out of his back.

There was a pile of arrows at his feet, at least twenty of them, including a javelin head, which was a crossbow arrow shot from a crossbow.

After being stabbed by so many arrows, any ordinary troll would have bled to death long ago, but Taz was still alive and kicking, and he led his people to escape for twenty miles before stopping.

He wore a rusty mail vest and a cloak made of wolf fur, which had the same defensive power as a knight's plate armor.

Most of the barbarians' heavy arrows would at most make a hole when they hit it, leaving a small cut in his skin that wouldn't even allow the arrowhead to penetrate.

But he was tall and strong, and the mail vest and wolfskin cloak he had modified after seizing the weapons could not cover his entire body. The remaining exposed parts, such as his arms and thighs, were almost riddled with arrows.

Fortunately, due to the strong body of the intermediate extraordinary being, the heavy armor-piercing arrows could only penetrate ten centimeters deep, which was only a minor injury for the troll warrior.

However, too much bleeding made the strong troll warrior very weak.

"Humans, damn it! Wait until spring to take revenge!"

"Let's go back first!"

Standing on the top of the city wall, Leo said to Knight Arnold and Knight Solovy beside him, "Get ready for battle. The troll army is about to withdraw."

Knight Solovi asked, "How many trolls are coming back?"

Leo replied: "Less than two thousand, most of them are injured."

"That's no problem." Knight Solovi felt relieved and went to arrange the battle matters.

Seeing Knight Solovie leave, Arnold hesitated to speak, and finally followed him.

Leo showed amazing military talent in the north, but it was far less powerful than in Isenbol.

In the north, he was just taking steady steps and acting maturely, but when he returned home, he was like a prophet and his judgment of the war situation was amazing.

Not only can he steal the city with common people, but he can also change homes with tactics, and he can also accurately count the number of enemies to the single digit and predict where they will appear.

Arnold went back and asked someone to count the number of his legionaries three times and found that it was exactly the same as the record on the Rio sandbox.

Several corner flag officers secretly hid more than a dozen military prostitutes, and several corner flag officers brought their own lovers and maids. If it weren't for Leo's records, Arnold probably wouldn't have known about the existence of these people until the end of the war.

Arnold secretly swore that he would never become an enemy of River Bay!

When Taz led his people back to the nest, they looked up and found that the nest had quietly changed hands and the top of the city was filled with human soldiers.

The gaps caused by the collapse were blocked by log camp walls, and the outside was full of spikes.

Several arrow towers were also built on the city walls, filled with human archers.

The human main force, having somehow gotten rid of their vanguard bait, quietly crossed the gravel hills and captured their own lair!

There are more enemies here than in Stonebreak!

Poor ambitious troll warrior, he failed to capture the new city and his old nest was also occupied.

Looking at his tribesmen who were exhausted and whose morale was extremely low, Taz did not dare to launch another siege and could only leave in hatred.

His troll army, made up of a dozen small clans, had only been together for a short time and had not yet truly bonded together.

If these men were allowed to attack the city again, they might riot on the spot and change the chieftain.

Looking at the remaining troll troops bypassing the ruins of the ancient city and fleeing towards the north, Leo watched them leave without pursuing them.

The stomachs of the two thousand trolls are very hungry. The prey in this area cannot satisfy them by hunting alone. These trolls can only flee into the wilderness and split into small clans to find food or fight among themselves.

I don’t know when we can get together again.

Taz led his core followers, a team of 300 people, and migrated northward until they reached the vicinity of Ilanrado, where they came into contact with the orc tribe there.

The trolls have been vassals of the orcs for seven hundred years, living together with the orcs and maintaining close ties. The trolls have gone to orc villages to trade without encountering much hostility.

When Taz arrived at the orc tribe and saw that they were not very strong, he prepared to extort some food and supplies to take back.

Just then, he received a piece of news.

The orc chieftain further north is recruiting wilderness warriors, not only providing them with food but also armor!

Iron armor! If he had two hundred sets of iron armor, he wouldn't have fallen to this point.

Taz quickly asked for details and got a very bizarre piece of information.

The human earl of Frovald is forming an alien army!
