Empires Start with Lords

The orc leader suddenly realized.

It turned out that the Ross Territory had long guessed that the orcs would send people to test them, and built watchtowers before they attacked. It is specially aimed at the junior orcs with strong melee ability.

There are very few mid-level orcs in the vicinity, and even the leader of the hundred orcs is the best among the junior orcs.

"Retreat!"

The orc leader raised the big sword in his hand and roared wildly.

The roar echoed back from the scattered army. When the orcs in the last row heard it, they immediately turned around and ran towards the orc territory.

Ross showed a smile and ordered: "All archers, don't let an orc go! Open the door, all light knights charge!"

Knights are divided into light and heavy.

Because Ross had no money to buy light knights, he had to buy 30 sets of light equipment for those knights who were good at charging.

"Everyone, kill an army of orcs and reward them with five silver coins."

All the knights jumped up. The purchasing power of five silver coins in this world is equivalent to a month's wages for a commoner!

And the more you kill, the more you get.

When it's time to go to the city and spend time drinking and drinking, girls will never be short of money again!

When Ross said this, of course, it played a role in motivating and encouraging.

A hundred orcs were trampled over their bodies within ten minutes by the horses of archers and light knights.

Soon, the system prompted him to obtain 300 military exploits.

This time, it can be exchanged for three thousand gold coins.

Ross immediately exchanged hundreds of logs and asked farmers to continue strengthening the wooden village.

Immediately, hundreds of farmers began to work diligently.

In a few hours, Ross will be able to upgrade the wooden village to a mid-level fortification.

The reason for this rush is because Ross guessed that the orc tribe will know that there is no one left, and Ross has killed them all.

Thus, a more powerful official army was sent to attack the tribe of Rus.

However, an orc's combat power is equivalent to a dozen humans, and even a low-level orc needs two squire knights to fight.

A hundred orcs were wiped out by Ross so quickly, they would definitely send thousands of orcs to be ashamed.

The orcs around here are the enemies that Ross needs to solve the most in the near future.

Therefore, Ross had to prepare as early as possible. With his current strength, he was simply not capable of defeating the attack of thousands of orcs.

At this time, Ross checked his strength.

Thirteen hundred slaves (people from the slave market have been trained to be peasants and soldiers.)

In addition to this there were two hundred retinue knights, eight hundred ordinary knights, one hundred archers, six hundred peasants, and five hundred infantry.

Ross's first reaction was to increase the number of infantrymen, so that he could form a formation to fight the orc army with ingenuity without having to fight with them recklessly.

A heavy cavalry requires forty gold coins, which includes his equipment and horses.

A heavy infantry requires twenty gold coins, a medium infantry ten gold coins, an archer hardware coins, and ten infantry one gold coins.

After Ross purchased several hundred pieces of wood to upgrade the wooden village, he still had one thousand gold coins left.

Ross glanced at the three watchtowers, and the reinforced watchtower also instructed them to reinforce the deck above so that more archers could stand on it.

Ross decisively purchased a hundred archers and a thousand infantry.

Then the price of heavy infantry is 250 times that of ordinary infantry. One heavy infantry can buy more than 200 infantry. Ross felt a little distressed.

Decided to bypass the heavy infantry temporarily and bought the medium infantry with a slightly cheaper price.

Fifty medium infantry!

With the remaining four hundred gold coins, Ross showed a smile and clicked to buy four wooden throwing vehicles!

Then ordered all farmers to start building shields after completing the defense upgrade.

The size of the shield must cover the bulk of the throwing cart, preventing the throwing cart from being remotely attacked by the orcs.

After all this was done, the black orc army soon attacked the fortifications with a mighty force!

The leader is a man who looks different from other low-level orcs. It has penetrating fangs on its mouth, and the appearance of sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks is very ugly and terrifying.

Holding an iron rod, he ran straight ahead.

Quest: Kill a mid-level orc, reward 800 battle exploits and 2,000 gold coins.

Every time you kill a low-level orc, you can get ten points of combat credit.

Rose's eyes lit up, and the orcs a thousand meters away turned into golden coins in his eyes.

He never thought before that orcs are so valuable, and the battle points for killing a low-level orc are ten times as much as killing a goblin!

Then Ross announced the opening of the wall door, and rows of soldiers charged out.

Ross looked at them, the soldiers were not going to fight the orcs recklessly.

Because ten ordinary soldiers can kill an orc, Ross told their leading soldier in advance.

Not long ago, Ross made more than a dozen squire knights serve as the centurions of these soldiers.

Each squire knight is in charge of a hundred soldiers, teaching them simple formations, waiting for the orc army to be beaten at a loss, and taking this opportunity to surround them in one fell swoop.

"Fill the arrows!"

The orc army began to charge in a mighty manner, and Ross ordered them to start shooting arrows.

As expected by Ross, when the archers on the watchtower began to shoot arrows, the orcs seemed to be already equipped, and each taller orc interspersed in the army raised a huge shield in their hands.

With the advantage of being tall and strong, and the huge shield, each shield hand can shelter five or six orcs!

Some sharp arrows flew through the air at a 45-degree angle. Thousands of sharp arrows shot past in seconds. The soldiers looked at them, but these sharp arrows only killed less than twenty orcs!

In an instant, the army of orcs exploded.

"Kill! Burn down these human camps!"

The orcs roared, the charging figure did not show any signs of subtraction, even in a rain of arrows!

Soon, half of the tens of thousands of arrows were shot by the archers!

Ross shouted in time: "Stop shooting! Launch the throwing cart and load the flint!"

Dozens of peasants quickly pushed the huge throwing cart with four chubby reels out of the wall and lined up in a row.

The wall gate was pushed out by the Rosjean knights early on to build the stone wall. There are hundreds of stone blocks high in one person.

Ross asked them to wrap some clothes around the stone, and then set the clothes on fire to throw flint!

Just because Ross looked at it, buying burning gunpowder cost at least 5,000 gold coins, and it was a one-time use, so he paid attention.

"Launch!"

The knight Bayar roared, and then more than a dozen knights cut off the ropes tied to the rear of the throwing cart, and the front end was filled with heavy objects and fell instantly, quickly throwing the stones on the other side into the air dozens of meters high. In the midst of it, it blasted towards the center of the orc army without error!
