Heroes of the Invincible Knight

"Kill! Give me some energy, don't be careless, and drive these bastards away."

An officer of the Jingbei Army chopped off a kobold trying to climb up the wooden wall with a sword, and loudly reminded the soldiers of the Jingbei Army around him.

"Don't worry boss, even if ten of these bastards rush up, I can cut them down by myself."

"Bullshit, if you put ten kobolds in that section, I'll screw your head off."

"puff!"

While speaking, another kobold climbed up the wooden wall, and before he could cross the crenel, his head was cut off with a sword by the commander of the Jingbei army with sharp eyesight and quick hands.

These kobolds are not strong in combat, but they are flexible. They can climb the wall without any tools. However, it is difficult for them to cause any substantial damage to the defenders when they climb the wooden wall. They can only serve as a harassment effect. The real threat remains the ogres in the mix.

"Captain! There are ogres approaching our section!"

A soldier found an ogre mixed with kobolds trying to climb the wooden wall, and reported to the officer loudly, his tone was no longer as relaxed as when he faced the kobolds just now.

"Leigi is ready! Don't let him climb up!"

The captain of the Jingbei Army also became nervous in an instant. Although he is also a quasi-knight, if the ogre is allowed to climb up, he has no confidence in being able to withstand it.

Two strong soldiers quickly brought up a thick wood with spikes on its surface.

"put!"

The two soldiers responded by throwing the log from the top of the wall, and the next moment there was an ogre's roar from below the wall, and the roar was interrupted with a muffled "bang".

The pole just hit the ogre's head, even though the ogre's rough skin and thick flesh couldn't hold the hundreds of catties of falling objects, it lost its vitality when it landed.

Fortunately, Marquis Wade followed some of Lint's suggestions and made some arrangements in Herburg. He prepared a lot of materials for defending the city, such as wood and stone, and enough food for a period of time.

Now these Jingbei troops are guarding the hard stronghold outside Hell Fort. This army stronghold is all made of iron and wood, and it is very strong. The defenders stationed in the stronghold echo Fort Hell. Interrupted several waves of ogre attacks.

However, today's situation seems to have changed a bit. When the soldiers cheered for easily killing an ogre,

The sharp-eyed soldiers found more ogres approaching, and today it seemed that it was not as simple as a tentative attack.

"Team, captain, look over there!"

Looking in the direction of the soldier's finger, a phalanx of hundreds of ogre in heavy armor, surrounded by a large number of kobolds, began to approach this wooden wall.

What is even more shocking is that a dozen or so ogres are pushing a huge battering ram and approaching with the square team.

"Fake, fake."

The captain was obviously also frightened by the formation of the ogre. In his impression, the ogre did not have the ability to build siege equipment.

What's the matter with this guy who is one size bigger than ordinary battering rams?

"Ready to fight!"

In fact, he didn't need to shout. The soldiers who had just relaxed had already prepared their weapons. They were all veterans of the Jingbei Army, and their basic fighting qualities were not bad.

"boom!"

Pushing the battering ram, the ogre slammed into this section of the wooden wall, causing the entire village to vibrate visibly.

No matter how well built a fortress is, it is still made of wood, and it is still not as good as a castle built with hard stones.

If this battering ram is allowed to hit, it is estimated that this section will be directly opened in a short time.

The defenders on the city naturally understood this truth, but what was embarrassing was that they were unable to cause effective damage to the ogres pushing the battering ram.

These heavy-armored ogres did not get close to the wooden village, and it was difficult to throw objects such as raging wood so accurately to cause damage to them. Bows and arrows were even more ridiculous in front of them in heavy armor.

"Why are you standing there, pouring oil?"

"But……"

"boom!"

There was another impact, and the wooden wall shook more violently than before.

"But what, go!"

The caller was a governor. When he found out that the wooden wall was dangerous, he had brought people over to support him.

The defenders of the city usually prepare some kerosene, but this village is made of wood after all. Although it has been treated for fire prevention, it is still easy to set yourself on fire with kerosene here.

But this kind of crisis time can't take care of so much, let's go through this level first.

"fall!"

"Wow..."

Most of the kerosene was poured directly on the battering ram, and the torch was dropped a little, and the whole battering ram ignited like a torch.

Several ogres around were also scattered by the flames.

Fortunately, the fire did not ignite the wooden village in the end, and the ogres who had lost their battering rams began to recede gradually, finally surviving the catastrophe.

At this time, Marquis Wade and several senior officers of the Jingbei Army were standing on the high tower of Fort Hull to observe the whole battle. Seeing that it was an ogre who was finally repelled, Marquis Wade turned around and ordered

"Let the outer military strongholds be withdrawn."

"However, Lord Marquis, without the surrounding villages, Herburg would be completely isolated."

"If you can't hold it, it's better to withdraw the army first to preserve your strength."

"According to the predetermined plan, withdraw now."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Marquis Wade didn't want to give up the outer fortresses either, but after the ogre built the siege equipment, those outer fortresses obviously couldn't hold it back, so it's better to withdraw as soon as possible to replenish the troops and stick to Hull Castle for help.

...

"Withdraw, withdraw, move faster!"

An officer of the Jingbei Army was shouting at the gate of the city, commanding the Jingbei Army to return to Fort Hull,

"close the door!"

As the last soldier passed through the city gate, the head of the banner stationed in the camp outside the city also turned his head and rushed back to the city gate.

"boom!"

Just after he entered the city gate, the heavy iron gate was closed heavily,

A group of kobolds who were chasing after them stood stiffly under the city and were shot and killed, and finally retreated gradually.

Although the kobolds suffered heavy casualties, the ogre's strategic goal was achieved. After more than ten days of siege, the ogre army finally took down all the camps outside Helburg.

Helberg has completely become an isolated city.

At this moment, Marquis Wade was standing on the wall of Fort Hull watching all this, without any expression on his face,

However, anyone with military common sense can realize that the real crisis of Herburg is coming soon.

Originally, the Jingbei Army's fortified stronghold on the outskirts of Helburg was fairly strong, but the ogres were only besieged for the first two days, and drove the kobolds to attack tentatively with their lives.

It did not pose any real threat to these villages. Although the Jingbei Army was newly defeated, it was a well-trained elite army after all. The enemy army was a monster like ogre kobolds, so there was no chance of surrendering.

The Jingbei army guarding the fortified stronghold can calmly repel such weak creatures as kobolds.

But within a few days of the good times, the ogre, who has never had the ability to siege cities, actually brought out siege equipment of acceptable quality. These things can't deal with the sturdy Helburg, but they can easily deal with the wooden villages outside the city. .

...

ogre camp,

Grugesh is sitting in a huge gold-rimmed tent. The decoration inside the tent is becoming more and more exquisite, from the carpet to the decorations.

If it weren't for the group of ogres with hideous appearances in the tent, just looking at the decoration, I'm afraid it's some noble's banquet hall.

"Lord Grugesh, the humans have abandoned the outer camps and retreated to the castle."

"Um"

Grugesh responded at the same time. After the voices merged together, a simple "um" sounded very creepy, but fortunately, there was no one who was not creepy.

"Wrap up first, don't let anyone out of the city, wait a few days to make some siege equipment."

"yes"

"How many of the surrounding human castles have been unplugged now?"

"Master Gru, our four major tribes are still surrounding Castle Hell, and we can only rely on those small tribes to fight. Those human castles are quite strong, and not many have been breached now."

This time, only Gru was the one questioning, and it was difficult for the ogre chiefs to separate them for a conversation.

The four major tribes are now Grugesh's basic base, plus some small and medium-sized tribes absorbed by the power of the great victory this time,

Now that Grugesh can command at will, the strength is about 20,000 ogre warriors, nearly a hundred ogre warriors, and four ogre chiefs.

There are still a large number of small and medium-sized tribes wandering outside. They did not directly accept Grugesh's orders, but only obeyed the call to invade the Northland.

Based on the mentality of waste utilization, Gruges asked them to attack the castles of human lords, attack the territories of various families, cut off roads and connections, and try to prevent the lords from uniting.

"Let's give them some siege equipment after a while."

"Also, let the subordinates catch the human craftsmen and must take good care of them. As long as they are willing to build weapons and equipment for us,

Food and drink must be provided, and those who have family members must ensure the safety of their family members and not kill indiscriminately. "

"Yes, Lord Gersh."

"Anything else?"

"Master Gru, it seems that several tribes in the northeast direction have been wiped out by humans."

"what happened?"

"It should be that some human lords have united."

An ogre chief got incomplete information from nowhere. After all, the distance was too far, and the tribe that was wiped out was not a direct descendant.

The information is quite vague, and there is only a general idea. I only know that some human lords over there probably formed a coalition army and wiped out a few small tribes that they couldn't name themselves. They didn't even know the true strength of the coalition army.

Grugesh tapped the table in front of him,

"This sign must be extinguished. Send a thousand-man team over there, and recruit a few small tribes. Be sure to eliminate them."

"Yes, my lord."

Although the information was unknown, Grugesh's response was quite decisive. Li Cha, who was far away in Benderland, didn't know that he was actually targeted by the big boss of the ogre...
