Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 47 Troll
"Finally here! If you don't come soon, I'll be rusty!"

Levi waved his hand and asked the two jackals to return to the team.

Hogg was still investigating the movements of the coalition forces ahead, so he did not come back.

Fortunately, Levi has taught this scout team, which currently consists of only three people, and has basically found out all the important intelligence about the enemy.

This coalition force had more than 600 people, mostly goblins and ogres, with trolls mixed in.

Levi was surprised to hear that there was a troll.

This creature is more than three blades tall when it grows up, and some tribal chiefs can even reach four blades, making it a true behemoth.

A troll tribe has only thirty or forty people at most. Apart from the female trolls and cubs, there are only about ten young and strong people who can really serve as combat forces.

If there were hundreds of trolls, Levi might have been afraid, but the werewolf scouts paid special attention to the existence of this powerful race and found out that there were only about ten trolls.

He can handle a dozen of them by himself.

A desolate and low horn sounded from the simple sentry tower on the hill, and the army of Gaoya Castle began to gather in an orderly manner.

Swords were drawn, armor was put on, and there was a loud sound of heavy footsteps on the open ground of High Cliff Castle, and then it returned to silence.

Except for the orcs who were still on duty on the watchtower, fifty-one orc barbarians were neatly lined up in a small square.

A silent, murderous atmosphere shrouded the sky above Gaoya Castle, and the warm morning light seemed to carry a hint of chilliness.

Zat, wearing a huge and exaggerated bull-horned helmet, stood in the front with a solemn expression, and behind him were the murderous orc barbarians.

"Boss, a total of forty-nine Burning Legion warriors are here!"

Thanks to Levi's mandatory requirements, Zat's arithmetic improved rapidly.

"My lord, all the Fed warriors are here." Jos touched his chest and saluted. Behind him were the Fed warriors who pursed their lips and carried longbows.

The gap between novices and veterans was clearly revealed at this moment. The orcs were all excited and eager to try.

Some Fed warriors with slightly immature faces looked panicked and rubbed their hands nervously. It was obvious that they had never experienced a real war.

Levi was putting on three layers of heavy armor with the help of two Fed warriors. The innermost layer was a layer of chain mail, followed by a layer of plate chain mail produced by the system store, which was made of small iron pieces connected in series, and then a large plate armor on the outer layer.

A layer of cotton cloth is added between the three to prevent them from colliding with each other and increase the cushioning force.

Completely armed to the teeth.

The three layers of armor weighed more than two hundred pounds, enough to bend a slow horse, but it had no effect on Levi at all, and his legs were still flexible and agile.

Among the fifty-one orcs, only ten barbarians including Zat were wearing iron armor, and the rest of the orcs were only wearing worn-out leather armor.

It’s not that Levi doesn’t want them all to wear armor. The gold he obtained from clearing out the wilderness tribes during this period is only enough to buy equipment for ten orcs.

As for those bronze artifacts, because there were no caravans passing through Gaoya Castle and because of the incident with the Wilderness Alliance, they had been delayed and had not yet been sold.

The system store's prices for recycling weapons and equipment are reasonable, but the prices for these antiques are very low.

After all, antiques are only valuable to the right person, and in the system's evaluation, they are just scrap metal.

"Levi, do you have any plans?" Beristina's face was tense. She was also affected by the solemn atmosphere and was worried about the upcoming battle.

"The plan? Let the warriors fire a few rounds of arrows first, kill a few dozen of them, then throw a round of spears, then start charging, chopping down a hundred or two hundred, and the rest will naturally collapse, and then we'll finish it off!"

Levi shook himself and adjusted the position of the armor so that it fit his body better.

"Ah?" Beristina wanted to see through the helmet to see if it was still Levi inside the armor.

Anyone who is not a military idiot would not engage in direct combat in the face of such a huge disparity in numbers. "What else?"

Levi took the giant sword carried by two Fed warriors and walked towards the two teams step by step.

The huge sword, which was taller than himself and as wide as a palm, was carried on his shoulder with ease.

This was a giant sword made of fine steel that he had specially bought from the system store. It weighed more than a hundred pounds, and the blade alone was two blades long and as wide as a palm. It could not be an exaggeration to say that it was as big as a door panel.

"According to intelligence, there are more than 600 enemies, which is five times our number. Do you think it's a lot?"

Levi's voice came through the cross helmet.

Jos didn't quite understand what Levi did. It was not what a commander would do to fully inform the soldiers of the number of enemies.

This huge difference in numbers will undoubtedly affect morale, and the common practice is to carefully reduce the number of enemies so that the soldiers can accept it, or simply not tell the soldiers.

Compared to the Fed warriors who were mostly panicked after hearing the specific number of people, the orc barbarians all laughed.

"Not much, we still think it's not enough!"

"That's right, not too many at all! If each of us kills five people, we can kill them all. Generally, this group of makeshift teams will collapse on their own after killing two or three hundred of them."

"That is to say, if each of us kills two enemies, we will win the war."

"Can't you even handle two enemies?!"

"A bunch of wilderness rats. I have to kill at least twenty of them!"

Facing Levi's slightly sarcastic tone, Zat was the first to roar angrily.

"I can kill ten too!"

A group of orc barbarians raised their weapons and roared angrily.

They are proud and arrogant, and extremely confident in their own martial arts. If they can't even deal with two enemies, they might as well return to the tribe to graze as soon as possible.

This scene stunned both Jose and Christina Bai.

No? Is that how arithmetic works?
But I somehow felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

The Fed warrior, who was originally a little uneasy, was also inspired by the confidence of the orcs. He went from whispering in agreement at the beginning to shouting loudly with the orcs later.

"Military morale is available."

Levi smiled and said to Beristina, pointing his sword in front of High Cliff Castle: "Let's go!"

The wilderness is not flat grassland everywhere, there are still slopes in some places.

You'd be a fool if you didn't take advantage of these terrains. Using high ground to attack low ground is a very important advantage for the defender.

"Line up right here!"

The team from Gaoyabao came to a hillside. Levi placed the orc barbarians in the front, and the Fed warriors with bows in the back row.

To be honest, Levi didn't even want to bring the Fed warriors over. After all, most of these soldiers were still greenhorns and could not compare with the experienced orcs.

There will inevitably be casualties when fighting occurs.

If one of them died, he would be heartbroken for a long time, but after considering for a long time, he finally brought them here.
