Su Li could see through the Beastmen's conspiracy at a glance, and the cunning nomads who lived in this harsh land could naturally see it too.

The owners inside Linburg Farm had a heated argument and finally responded.

A man with a long scar over his left eye, holding a bow and arrow, shot an arrow onto the mountain path in front of the Beastmen, and shouted fiercely and forcefully: "We, the tenacious Badlands Rangers, don't negotiate with you bipedal sheep monsters! Get out of here, don't provoke us, our arrows are accurate enough to break every hair on your bodies."

Two-legged sheep?

Hearing this term, Su Li couldn't help but click his tongue, never expecting this world to have this term as well. However, the meaning of 'two-legged sheep' in this world is completely different from his previous life, yet it perfectly fits the image of the Beastmen.

The leader of the beast herd, a strong Great Bray-Shaman more than twice the size of a normal person, was instantly enraged by this insulting term from the humans. As the leader, he had to ensure his prestige in every action, whether it was planning surprise attacks on villages or leading raids on merchant caravans. He needed to deter enemies and also make his followers submit to his rule. If he couldn't maintain his prestige, he might die at the hands of ambitious subordinates with the slightest carelessness.

Therefore, he had to make the people in the farm pay the price for their offense with their lives, wash away their sins with blood, and finally weave their skins and fragments into the battle flag of his tribe to add to his glory.

He roared: "Charge in, slaughter all the humans, burn everything in the farm, and let the entire farm be reduced to ashes under our anger!"

The wandering beast herd immediately roared to the sky, holding battle axes and spears. Under the red moon and in the dark forest, these monsters roaring to the sky were truly the embodiment of human nightmares.

The monsters, with red eyes, launched a fierce offensive against Linburg Farm, which immediately retaliated, with arrows constantly shooting out from behind the watchtowers and arrow towers. These biting arrows struck the Ungors, immediately causing them to fall on their backs, the cold arrowheads easily piercing their crude leather armor.

But when these arrows hit the Gor, the effect was greatly reduced! These strong and huge beasts easily broke the arrows in front of their chests with one hand, constantly spewing hot air from their nostrils, and continued their charge.

Su Li then understood why the serfs in this world lived so bitterly, yet rarely rebelled against the rule of the knight lords.

Because the knight lords, even when faced with such terrifying monsters, would actually step up when needed. Without the protection of the knight lords, the serfs' pitchforks and arrows alone could not fight against such terrifying monsters, and they would only become food for the monsters.

The same was true of the farm on the mountain. Arrows could not completely delay the Beastmen's offensive, at most making some Ungors feel fear.

However, as the beast herd leader grabbed an Ungor who was fleeing from his side and tore him into two pieces, a large amount of dirty blood and organs splattered, and no one in the beast herd dared to retreat any further.

The dense mass of monsters rushed to the bottom of the fortress, constantly hacking at the thick stone wall with giant axes, spears, and cleavers, leaving traces behind.

And this stone wall was the farm owner's greatest confidence. Although the monsters were terrifying, their barbaric tribe did not have powerful siege equipment, and it was difficult to break through the farm's defenses for a while.

Cold arrows were constantly shot out from the farm, intending to repel these monsters with bows and arrows.

After observing for a moment, Knight Ohrstein crossed his arms and said indifferently: "If there are no accidents, it's only a matter of time before this farm fortress is breached."

"Ah?" Hilde, who was beside Su Li, exclaimed. From her perspective, the Beastmen were constantly suffering losses, how could Knight Ohrstein assert that the Badlands Rangers were about to fail?

She was very intelligent, but after all, she had not received systematic military education, nor had she experienced much war, so her understanding of war was still very superficial, and she could not see the battlefield situation at all.

Knight Ohrstein had accepted her as a disciple at Su Li's request, saying that he would teach her martial arts, strategy, politics, and military knowledge, on the condition that she must become a believer of the Goddess of the Blazing Sun.

Now was a good time for him to teach by example, so he explained: "A purely passive defense will inevitably lead to a situation where you are bound to lose after a long defense. If the farm owner does not dare to actively gather troops to form an advantage of more against less on the local battlefield, and defeat a part of the Beastmen through counterattacks to relieve the pressure on the battle line, then it is inevitable that the Beastmen's current fighting spirit will break through into the farm at some point."

There was no need to say more after that. The Badlands Rangers were just humans who had honed their combat skills in a harsh environment. Once they lost the cover of the thick stone walls, they could not stop the Beastmen's strong physique at all. Especially those terrifying three-meter-tall Gors, they could easily chop humans into pieces with their two-handed cleavers and giant axes, and flesh and blood organs would rain down on the battlefield.

Knight Ohrstein glanced at Hilde, who was greatly shocked, and asked with a serious expression on his proud face: "Then I will test your understanding and flexibility in battle again. In this case, what means will the Beastmen and the farm owner take to win?"

Hilde immediately showed her unparalleled talent. She only thought for a moment, and she could be flexible and grasp the battlefield opportunity. Her heroic face had bright eyes, and she said calmly: "From the perspective of the barbarians, they should mobilize the power of the farm's guards to create weak links. So if I were the cunning beast herd leader, I would order the herd to set fires in some directions, increase the momentum, and attract the guards' attention, so as to attack the east while striking the west, and launch a fierce attack in the direction where the guards are weak, and break into the farm in one fell swoop."

Almost accompanied by her voice, the firelight illuminated her heroic and bright eyes, and several elite knights exclaimed: "They're setting fires! They're really setting fires! The beast herd seems to be burning the farmland and woods on the west side, intending to burn down the defensive facilities on the west side of the farm, and the farm guards are obviously being attracted."

Everything was as Hilde had expected. A fire broke out on the west side of Linburg Farm, attracting the guards' reinforcements. Not long after they arrived on the front line, the terrifying howls of the Beastmen rang out under the east side of the city wall.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" A dozen terrifying and tall Gors rushed out of the shadows of the trees, running wildly on the mountain road, their huge hooves making a heavy thumping sound.

Several guards on Linburg quickly shot arrows, trying to block their offensive, but the arrows that hit them could not stop the offensive of such huge Gors at all. Several Gors climbed onto the stone wall in the horrified eyes of the guards. A terrifying Gor directly gouged out a guard's heart, stuffed it into his mouth, and scattered blood, human wails, and the roar of the beast herd. This farm was finally compiled into a purgatory under the blood moon.

The master of Linburg underestimated the number of monsters. The raid launched by a dozen Gors hiding in the shadows of the forest made the guards have no room to respond.

But there was nothing to regret. Even if the master of Linburg agreed to the beast herd's request and handed over 5 blood food, it would only delay this scene for a few days.

In this Border Princes region, which is far more dangerous than the Empire, this kind of darkness and despair permeates every piece of land.
