Chapter 157: Iron Armor
Next. The temporary camp was officially completed.
All the forces settled down according to Marven's arrangement.
More adventurers, on the other hand, are entrenched outside the camp, ready to pick up some sweetness after the battle begins.
It's noon.
Outside the camp, all the soldiers who were about to participate in this war were assembled.
Yes, no matter what your previous identity was, once you participated in the glorious battle to pioneer the wilderness, your identity is that of a soldier.
You have to obey your lord's orders.
No matter what you think in your heart, at least the superficial work still has to be done.
All of them gathered outside the camp according to their respective forces.
Marven rode his horse and came slowly from the northernmost side.
He wears a sword at his waist, a sword left over from his grandfather's pioneering days.
Now, it's back in his hands.
With the exception of a few, they have no loyalty to Marven.
No matter what Marven says, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to motivate them to fight for themselves.
So he simply drew his saber and symbolically collided with the raised weapons of the soldiers in the front row, then turned his horse's head and returned to their front.
In the next second, he raised his saber and roared loudly:
"Honor!"
"Wealth!"
"Pioneer!"
His voice was loud and resounded in everyone's ears, like thunder!
That's because. He used a sorcery scroll.
Except for those wizards, everyone was in a state of shock. Their gaze was finally completely focused on Marven, and finally on the tip of the sword.
Marven looked at this qiē with satisfaction. His gaze swept over everyone:
"Warriors."
"Our ancestors have explored the wilderness countless times, and carved out one pure land after another in the monster-ridden Fanan."
"And now we will follow their glory and march into the wilderness."
"I, Baron Marven, will once again lead you to open up the wilderness based on the Savage Exploration Order issued by the Southern Wizards Alliance."
"Today's battle is just the beginning. The wealth and resources available to us. Far more than you think. ”
"We are unstoppable."
"All monsters will be slaughtered by us. In five or ten years, the land will be extremely prosperous. And we'll be rewarded for helping the league break new ground. ”
"Titles, fiefdoms, money, beautiful women...... A qiē is at your fingertips. ”
"Now, please join me in drawing your weapons!"
In the last sentence, Marven yelled almost hoarsely.
Bang dang!
The chaotic but loud sound of gold and iron rang out immediately!
All drew their weapons.
They looked at Marven silently, no matter what purpose they had in mind to participate in this battle.
But now that they are on the battlefield, then they have only one purpose. That's to hit the enemy!
After all, their enemy is a terrifying ogre!
A squad of human soldiers may not be an opponent of an ogre.
At such a time, if you still want to play with your thoughts, it is tantamount to looking for death by yourself.
Marven held his sword high. Towards that high mountain, slash down!
Sou!
There was a slashing sound in the air.
"Let's go!"
The army moved slowly.
……
On the ogre mountain, a large but flexible figure is frantically busy.
They were building fortifications.
Ogres aren't just wild monsters. Some ogres are quite intelligent, and they are able to speak the lingua franca.
About the Wild Frontier Order. They've heard about it, too.
Coupled with the warning of the old man in black, they had been prepared for a long time.
An entire ogre horde. There are forty-five ogres in total, and each one of them is in the prime of life.
They migrated down from the Screaming Mountains to survive; And the reason why they didn't sneak attack the White River Valley was because the monsters on the screaming mountain range were all restrained by the power of order.
This was the imprisonment set by the god Lance back then.
It is only when outsiders take the initiative to invade that this force of order is lifted.
All ogres are excited!
They have long wanted to go down the mountain and taste the taste of humanity. It's just that I haven't had a chance.
After all, the meat of the jackal is too sour to eat.
And now, Marven issued a wild development order to attack them, which means that there is no longer a shackle tied to them.
They can rush into human territory and occupy their own territory.
It's something every ogre dreams of.
In fact, if it hadn't been for their leader's stern thus, most of the ogres would have rushed down and smashed these weak humans into meatloaf with weapons.
They have long been unable to suppress the bloodthirsty ** in their hearts.
They didn't understand why the leader insisted on sticking to the mountain, wouldn't it be better to just kill him?
These humans simply can't be the match for the mighty ogre!
You know, every ogre is born with a racial specialty - innate divine power!
This means that their initial strength will not fall below 20 points!
This is a very scary number.
Coupled with their super ability to recover, and their equally strong physique, except for their poor agility, ogres are almost the most perfect warriors.
And humans?
In the eyes of ogres, humans are just one type of food, and the taste is not bad.
It's just that in this ogre tribe, the chief's order is higher than one qiē. They know his great power, so they don't offend him lightly.
Since the chief said that he would hold on to the mountain, let him hold on.
Anyway, the leader also promised that sooner or later. Will lead them down the mountain and into human territory. He who preys on his favorite prey.
……
Two miles west of Ogre Mountain.
At Marven's suggestion. The army stopped advancing.
At this distance, the two sides can already see each other.
And with the dashing speed of an adult ogre, it can rush into the human camp in three minutes, so it is still necessary to keep a certain distance.
I saw that at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside, a tight fortification had been erected.
This is not in the ogre style.
Marven frowned slightly.
If you force the mountain, I am afraid that the battle situation will be very tragic. The ogres occupied the high ground, and there were many rocks around them. With their terrifying arm, they could smash these rocks out at least a quarter of a mile away!
If you forcibly climb the mountain, I'm afraid you haven't killed the ogre yet. will be stoned to death!
"It's not good to go on like this."
Marven saw the frightened eyes of everyone behind him. They are all **mortals, once they are hit by that stone, they will definitely die.
"Somehow has to be found to get these monsters out of the mountains."
Marven swung his sword and immediately gave the first order.
Soon, under the protection of a patrol in Riverbeach City, six trebuchets slowly began to move forward.
The rest of the troops, too, dispersed, kept their distance, and slowly rushed towards the side of the mountain.
Since the ogres won't come down. Until then, they don't have to worry about the ogre's charge.
Marven's strategy is simple, that is, no matter what, he has to drive the ogre down from the mountain!
Forcing them to fight their own side on flat ground. This is the only way to achieve victory.
And the six trebuchets sent by Medirri became his key to victory.
The normal throw distance of an ordinary trebuchet is about one-sixth of a mile to one-fifth of a mile.
But these six trebuchets provided by Medirli. It's no ordinary commodity.
They were all solidified in magic, and their range was more than doubled.
Each trebuchet is operated by four soldiers. The other person acts as a commander.
The logistics team was responsible for transporting a truckload of rocks, which were smeared with pine resin and hot oil.
Even if it's a tentative attack. Marven also wants to test the hole cards of the ogre tribe as much as possible.
Finally, under the cover of everyone, the army came to the bottom of the Ogre Mountain for about half a mile.
The six trebuchets kept a certain distance, and the soldiers nervously adjusted their angles and began to aim.
And the ogre on the hill was clearly a little uneasy.
Some ogres were furious and threw stones at the mountain.
They have a lot of strength, but they are still a little short of hitting the human side.
Under Marven's orders, everyone was ready. Once the ogre is enraged and rushes down the mountain, he will have to fight according to the battle policy set by Marven before.
Only then will they be able to take the mountain at minimal cost.
"Lord Marven, the trebuchet is ready!"
The commander shouted.
Marven's saber pointed at the "fortress" that the ogre had built on the mountainside, and ordered: "Smash me!" ”
In the next second, a bouncing sound sounded, and more than a dozen gravels suddenly left the human position, and with the blessing of magic, each stone flew high!
Not only that, but because the stones were smeared with pine resin and hot oil, each stone turned into a burning stone under the high-speed friction!
Thundered!
Stones slammed into the ogre's fortress in a scattered manner, and for a moment, there was a slight disorder on the mountainside.
"Go on!"
Marven said fiercely.
Soon, the next round of projection was ready.
Everyone looked at this qiē nervously.
After three rounds, the mountainside had turned into a sea of fire, and the ogres were furious.
The flames didn't hurt them, but they angered them.
They roared angrily, grinning at the bottom of the mountain, eager to kill them immediately!
However, what made Marven feel wrong was that he was so provocative, and these ogres still hadn't been killed!
"Who the hell is their leader?"
Marven searched hard for clues. However, the ogres all looked similar, and he didn't see anyone calling the shots.
"My lord? Do you want to continue? The trebuchet's commander asked.
Before Marven could answer, suddenly, among the ogres halfway up the mountain, a guy with light black skin suddenly rushed out!
He roared angrily, and jumped straight down the mountainside!
Rumble!
After a loud bang, a trebuchet was smashed alive by his massive body!
And he himself was unharmed.
Everyone was terrified.
The corners of Marven's mouth twitched slightly--[Iron Armor]?
Legendary Ogre!?
