In order for the trolls to cultivate farmland, a large number of trees around Shadralo were cut down. The good visibility gave the griffin knights ample space for detection.
"The trolls are gathering troops, and news came from Kurdran that at least a thousand troops are heading in the direction of the Terminator Fortress." At the emergency meeting, General Odrun said impassionedly, "Now, today, we will Destroy the main force of trolls, and there will be no obstacles on the road to Shadralo."
Amidst the cheers, Carlos questioned.
"General, aren't we building a fortress just to force the trolls to charge into the city and exchange cold corpses for their blood? Moreover, the cavalry units are not fully in place yet. If we start a field battle with the trolls now, will the losses be too great? big."
"Well, Sir Carlos, you will be a benevolent lord in the future...even a king, but there is no war without bloodshed and sacrifice. If the trolls gather themselves and don't fight, do we still have to go into the mountains and forests to eliminate them? Terminator There are a full two thousand soldiers in the fortress, and we have an absolute numerical advantage." General Odrun's words were loud and clear.
General Odrun was right. After fighting the troll, Carlos also had a judgment in his mind. The combat effectiveness of ordinary trolls and ordinary human soldiers is about 1.1:1, and the combat effectiveness of elite troll soldiers and elite human soldiers is about 1.2:1. The knights of the Oakland Knights can basically defeat giants in one-on-one battles. A warrior among demons. After comprehensive calculation, the human side's combat effectiveness is indeed at an absolute advantage, not to mention that General Odrun also includes the Wildhammer dwarf troops. Being able to completely defeat the enemy in the main showdown is indeed stronger than the guerrilla warfare all over the mountains and plains.
"Your Majesty General, do you look down on our Wildhammer clan? Why didn't I hear about the deployment of our dwarf troops?" asked the dwarf commander, Beckham Iron Warhammer.
"My dear dwarf friends, as allies, the Wildhammer clan has given us a lot of help, such as hammers, felling axes, wood saws and nails needed to build the fortress. There are also valuable aerial reconnaissance. You have done your best. It is the duty of allies." After understanding the strength of the Wildhammer dwarves, General Odrun did not arrange the dwarf troops as if they were cannon fodder, but instead cared for them. After all, inflicting too much damage on the dwarves for a must-win battle may arouse the resentment of the Eagle Nest Mountain authorities, and the general felt that the gains outweighed the losses.
(In the era of hand-forged iron without stamping machines and pumping lathes, making iron nails was also one of the important judgments of whether a blacksmith apprentice could become a master. Contrary to what many viewers imagined, ancient blacksmiths did not spend most of their working time on Instead of making weapons and armor, they repaired broken iron tools, forged iron nails, and melted large iron ingots into various small pieces of rough embryos.
"Of course the Wildhammer dwarves are all excellent craftsmen, but we are also excellent warriors! Now that we have signed an alliance, the Wildhammer dwarves will not be afraid of fighting. General, please don't insult a true warrior." Beckham Steel Warhammer's boastful words were recognized by all the dwarves present.
Loud applause continued. All the people present were stingy with their words of praise.
You are so righteous, you are so righteous, I believe in fairy tales again. Carlos visualized this.
"Okay, since the commander is so eager to fight, how can we extinguish the fiery heart of a true warrior. Please select two hundred dwarf warriors to participate in this battle with us." General Odrun could not refuse. Free soldiers, but for reasons of good reason, the general asked the Wildhammer dwarves to send only two hundred.
"Kill the long-tusked monster and go back to Eagle's Nest Mountain for the winter!" Beckham Steel Warhammer raised his warhammer and roared.
(Kill Huang Xudong, the Colossus is both ground and air defense.
"Kill the long-toothed monster and show the glory of mankind!" The human nobles present also raised their arms and shouted.
(Kill Huang Xudong to death, the white ball flashes and charges.
"Kill the long-tusked monster and baptize Shadraro with blood!" Carlos shouted in response.
(Kill Huang Xudong to death, the poison will explode as fast as a tornado.
A plain area backed by a maple forest, the only way to the Terminator Fortress, this is the battlefield set by General Odrun.
As a qualified general, Odrun has his own rules for arranging troops. Although Carlos and he had differences in strategy, in terms of tactics, Odrun's command and command were both above 80.
"Herni, what do you think of the general's arrangement?" Carlos asked.
"It has no characteristics and no shortcomings. It gives people a feeling that there is no way to start. As an opponent, the general is really scary." Henny Mareb gave a high evaluation to General Odrun.
"According to the scout's report, the troll will arrive at the scheduled battlefield in ten minutes at most. Why do I feel uneasy?" Carlos was surrounded by only Herni Mareb. General Odrun handed over the important task of guarding the Terminator Fortress to Biglas Bertone, and Danas was naturally left behind by his father; Fang Brick stayed at the Terminator Fortress to continue to take charge of the magic defense work; the three Ravens Hod's employees were not obligated to participate in the battle; Todd was also left in the fortress by Carlos, and it was better for a butler not to go to the battlefield.
"Sir, if there are no accidents, this battle will end without you even drawing your weapon, so there is nothing to worry about." Heni Mareb consoled him.
Surprise, this is it! This is a magical world, how can there be no surprises. The trolls are not fools, how dare they challenge more than 2,000 coalition forces with a thousand people! Carlos finally discovered where his uneasiness came from, the big spider Shadra behind the Deadwood Troll!
"Send someone to the fortress immediately to ask Uncle Fang and Master Dandema to come over." Carlos conveyed the order to the guards, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and galloped towards the phalanx where General Odron was.
"General, we made a fatal mistake." Carlos had a premonition that time was running out, so he said straight to the point, "There is a god behind the troll, and Shadra, the poisonous lord, is likely to intervene in this war."
"Your Excellency Sir, although I am a warrior who can only wield swords, I also know that the incarnation of the gods cannot be far away from his altar. Are you saying that that big spider will crawl dozens of miles to come and eat us? Hey, you are insulting The gryphon knights of our dwarf brothers, how can the gryphon knights not see such a big target?" General Odrun said with a hint of ridicule.
"I mean we are not prepared for this. What if it does happen." Carlos asked calmly.
"Okay, I apologize for my inappropriate remarks just now. What you said makes sense. We don't know the troll's cards. Preparing for the worst is what a qualified commander should do." General Odrun thought. After a moment, "What do you think about us sending a troop to conduct a surprise attack on the trolls? A cavalry team of one hundred people can leave the battlefield with one charge. It will not scare away the trolls, but it can also test the depth."
"It's a good idea, but the trolls are not far away from us. Time is running out." Carlos reminded.
The general quickly arranged for his adjutant to lead a group of troops to leave the military formation, and the raiding force disappeared from Carlos' sight in the blink of an eye.
A few minutes later.
"General, the gryphon knight reported that the trolls stopped moving in the woods three miles away from us, and smoke was rising." The messenger reported.
"Where are our assault troops?" the general asked sullenly.
"I don't know." The messenger replied awkwardly.
"Command the entire army to retreat. Sergeant, leave a support force of 100 people under your command. You will also retreat in an hour." General Odrun gave the retreat order with a dark face.
