Warlord: King of All Clans

After the Blood Moon incident, the entire northeastern region of the North was swept by the Blood Slave Army, and all the villages and towns south of Olenik were destroyed.

The nearby Earldoms of Beowulf, Grant, and even Odalov to the south were all attacked to varying degrees.

If Strong had not led his troops to Tiamat in time, the blood slave army would have swept across the entire territory by now.

But the Blood Slave Army is not a regular army and is seriously lacking in organization. It only relies on human wave tactics and a single attack.

After failing to capture Tiamas for a long time, they immediately showed signs of fatigue.

However, high-level warriors who could reverse the situation, such as Fabuti, Blood Moon Sect Master, etc., are all nowhere to be seen.

This gave Strong room to operate with confidence. Under his command, several large legions took turns to fight, successively destroying the nearby Blood Slave Legion camps, and pushed the battle line to the other side of the Anzeno River, and began to attack the main legion of the Kurolov family.

Fabuti and Locke were not in the army, the Kurolov family lost its chief commander, and the legion commanders under them were originally passive in avoiding fighting. As the fighting went on, they found themselves driven together.

After successfully trapping the enemy's main force in Peshnik, Strong immediately mobilized his entire army and decisively launched a battle.

An army of nearly 30,000 surrounded the ruins of Peshnik.

The First and Second Legions of Hewan gradually replenished their troops during this year, and each legion expanded to 10,000 people.

Except for half of the fully armed River Bay soldiers, the rest were River Bay recruits who had completed training.

These recruits were equipped with relatively simple equipment, with no armor protection, only regular military uniforms and a rifle.

But in terms of long-range concentrated fire, the lethality of the Riverbend recruits is exactly the same as that of the veterans.

The power of firearms began to increase exponentially as the number of soldiers increased.

No northern legion could remain organized under the concentrated fire of tens of thousands of riflemen.

The only difference is that the slower the defeat, the greater the casualties.

In contrast, Grant's and Gunther's legions had both been reduced to four or five thousand men, and they could not even recruit a full-strength legion.

The rest of their troops continued to defend their homeland, and even if they launched a battle, they could only recruit new soldiers to replace the losses.

But after the blood slave army swept through the territory, there were no new soldiers to recruit.

Behind the army formation, Grant and Knight Gunther looked at the troops at the river bend, glanced at each other, and both showed helplessness.

Both of them couldn't understand why the number of musketeers in Hewan increased as the battle went on, and it seemed as if the soldiers and ammunition were free.

How did the Earldom of Riverbend, which only had four branch cities, support so many soldiers, produce so many firearms, and finally provide so many ammunition supplies?

The Arquebus Corps of the Kurolov family on the opposite side is the second most powerful firearms unit in the North after the River Bay Musket Corps. After a year of fighting, it has now become a firewood stick.

A countship with a population of one million could not afford the continuous consumption of ammunition by six thousand musketeers all year round.

Unlike the Allied troops who had already formed their battle array and were ready for battle, the Musketeer Corps in Hewan were still digging trenches and setting up chevaux de frise.

Their tactics were simple and crude. Whether attacking or defending, they would tirelessly build fortifications before the battle to provide defense for themselves.

But the Allied troops could not do this. The soldiers were wearing heavy armor, which took time to put on and take off. Moreover, they had to do hard labor on the battlefield and had no physical strength to fight.

The soldiers in Hewan only need to rest for ten minutes after digging trenches for a whole day before they can go back into battle!

Behind the Legion camp, the Engineer Corps at Riverbend was hard at work building the track.

At the end of the track, five steam tanks were placed on huge carts, and hundreds of orc laborers were pulling the reins hard, preparing to deploy them to the front line.

There are no suitable roads for steam tanks to travel in Isharov Territory. There are very few stone-based hardened roads here, and most of them are mud roads.

However, Fraser's steam tanks, both in terms of steam drive and structural strength, could not support long-distance travel, so they could only be slowly transported to the front line using wooden tracks.

After finally sending the steam tanks to the front battlefield, a large group of behemoth units emerged from the ruins of the main city opposite.

A large group of goblins, surrounded by more than a dozen woolly rhinos and mammoths, rushed out of the ruins shouting and waving wooden clubs and slings.

The trapped Kurolov Corps could not afford to maintain these behemoth units and began to plan to slaughter them.

The tundra goblins, who regarded the behemoths as their tribe and protector, certainly disagreed, so they would rather come out and attack actively than watch them being cooked.

On the Allied side, the steam tanks had just been deployed, and a large group of kobolds crowded on them, waving huge wrenches and short-barreled muskets in their hands.

There is only one goblin named Virgil in the river bend. He has always lived in seclusion and most of the kobolds have never seen a goblin.

There are no kobolds in the northern snowfields.

The two sides collided and were stunned for a moment. The Kobolds were the first to shout, "You are Kobolds?"

The Tundra Goblin also shouted from a distance, "What kind of goblins are you?"

At this time, Strong also discovered the situation here and drove the mammoth war elephants over directly.

Seeing this, Godwin and Roman hurried to follow, fearing that Strong would be killed by the opponent's high-level strong men.

Strong came to the center of the battlefield surrounded by the crowd. Looking at the various clan flags of the opposite goblin tribe, he dismounted, strode forward, opened his arms and shouted: "I am the son of the great goblin chief Apollo Mammoth, Strong Mammoth, the bull-headed goblin!"

A large group of goblins were stunned, and after a while they whispered, "It's the Minotaur! The son of Apollo! The goblin god of war!"

Apart from their craftsmanship and animal taming skills, the individual strength of the goblins is almost the same as that of the kobolds. Even after being promoted to extraordinary level, they cannot defeat ordinary tauren warriors.

The bull-headed goblin Strong is a well-known strong man among the goblin clans on the snowfields!

Seeing Strong appear, the small goblin chiefs looked at each other and threw down their weapons. "Minotaur! The new big chief! We surrender!"

More than ten giant beasts and thousands of goblins were defeated by Strong without bloodshed.

The general of the Kurolov Corps, who was hiding in the ruins and observing secretly, preparing to attack the Allied forces behind the goblin behemoth troops, put down the telescope in his hand with a pale face.

The goblin clan's desertion in the middle of the battle dealt a devastating blow to their morale. Immediately, many orc troops deserted the army overnight, fled into the wilderness, or simply surrendered to Strong.

By the time the good news reached River Bend, winter had already arrived and the land in the north was covered with a crust of frost.

Leo held the good news in his hand and marveled at it.

Strong besieged Peshnik and killed six thousand of his men in three days, forcing the rest to surrender.

The Allied forces then swept north and successfully recaptured the Isharov Territory which had been occupied by the Kurolov family.

The Kurolov family's legions have been fighting for years, the old soldiers have suffered heavy losses, and the new recruits are all forcibly conscripted and are passive and afraid of fighting.

As winter came, supplies began to run short and morale continued to decline.

Strong not only pushed the front line to the homeland of Count Kurolov, but also took the opportunity to conquer the goblin beast taming clan and craftsman clan, as well as the Peshnik rebel army.

This army of thousands of people has been resisting the rule of the Kurolov family since the fall of the Isharov family.

After the uprising, they were attacked by Kurolov's main army and driven into the mountains. They were not able to leave the mountain until Strong captured Peshnik.
