Warlord: King of All Clans

After a year of purchasing and replacing equipment, Count Fonteyne had one thousand cuirassiers and two thousand cuirassiers.

Although these cuirassiers and cuirassiers are not as good as the armored knights and heavy armored elites, they have higher defense than the previous second-level iron armored regular soldiers and can be regarded as level 2.5 soldiers.

The military in the North is still based mainly on feudal conscription, and the earl's main army is also composed of various small lords of square flags and corner flags, and there is no money to support most of the standing army.

Count Gustav's mansion maintains three thousand heavy armored soldiers, which makes the family, which was not well-off to begin with, even worse off, and they can only choose to support the war by fighting.

However, he did not take his heavy armored troops to the western prairie to be walked around like dogs by the prairie people. Instead, he set his sights on the Earldom of River Bay in the north.

The Earldom of Riverbend, which controls Isenbol, is separated from the Earldom of Gustav by only a mountain, and the main force of Riverbend has just moved eastward on an expedition to Clemens and cannot return in time for support.

At this time, Count Fonteyne did not have the map of the newly divided Northern Earldom by the Grand Duke of the North. On his military map, the Earldom of River Bay only had a small branch city, Isembor.

This branch city, which originally belonged to the Forelov family, prospered unprecedentedly under the rule of the Count of River Bay.

Moreover, the Earl of Riverbank had just captured Arbroath not long ago, and he had to send troops to garrison there while continuing to advance eastward. It was impossible for Isembo to leave many regular troops behind.

A main force of the Earl, all of whom were covered in armor and more than half of them were in heavy armor, approached Isenpol. Without attacking the city, they could make a fortune just by extorting and looting the place.

On Leo's side, in order to prevent a rebellion in the newly captured city of Arbroath, in addition to letting Basarov lead 500 musketeers to garrison Arbroath to assist Rigolav in ruling, he also left behind Six's Boar Knights and the newly formed Troll Grenadiers.

They cooperated with the patrol cavalry led by Romon to suppress the opposition forces in the jurisdiction of Abros.

These two types of troops are the River Bend Legion's field special forces. They are not very useful in siege warfare, so they did not continue the expedition.

Poor Six was abandoned in Arbroath by the ruthless Leo. He had to watch his friends set sail for the expedition while he could only continue raising pigs.

The territory of Arbroath borders that of Isonpore, and the topography and landforms are similar. The north bank is covered with large tracts of farmland and pastures, while the south bank is the mountains of the Barker Range.

Isenbol is better. There is some flat land at the foot of the mountains in the southeastern territory, which can be developed into many knight territories.

When we reached the territory of Arbroath, the mountains rose directly to the surface of the Anzeno River, and there were very few legitimate knights.

After all, the Boar Knight Xix is ​​an alien, and leading alien troops to run around in human areas is more likely to cause conflicts, so he was sent to the south bank to cooperate with the Gnoll Sniffer who entered the area to subdue the aliens and search for minerals.

There are also a large number of alien tribes and wild beast nests lurking in the mountains of Buck Mountains.

Due to the suppression of the wild folk settlements and imperial towns, these small settlements found it difficult to grow and their populations were all below two hundred.

Six led his three hundred boar riders, three hundred troll grenadiers, and the ogre firearms troops conquered all the way from upstream to conquer these mountain natives.

With Hewan's advanced weapons and regular tactics, as well as an absolute advantage in military strength, fighting these small alien races is like a modern army attacking a primitive tribe.

Xikes grew up in the Riverbend House, and he didn't have the idea that "those who are not of my race must have different hearts". He conquered the disobedient small tribes and recruited the obedient ones. The legion in his hands grew larger and larger, and soon exceeded three thousand.

Whether it is the previous werewolf army, troll army, or the current kobold army, the war mode of the alien army is still the same.

It's like a snowball, if you win it gets bigger, but if you lose it becomes a pile of loose sand.

The only difference is that the core forces of Xix's Gnoll Legion have higher cohesion, stronger logistical supply capabilities, and the enemies they face are weaker.

As a fat kobold, Krog also brought his own ogre heavy armored troops and followed Xix to the Buck Mountains.

They were originally ogres from the Borok Mountains, and they migrated through the mountains all the way to the northern border. Now they are heading south to see if there are any of their own kind who can be recruited here.

Fifteen - now eighteen ogres, still too weak for the current Riverbend.

After Kroger met the food demand, it also began to seek to expand its own population.

After he expressed his wish, Six gave an order and the ogre army quickly met his request.

Hundreds of Gnoll sniffers searched all over the mountains and communicated with the local Gnoll natives. They soon found several ogre nests in the mountains.

These ogres come in different species, some have one head, some have two heads, some live solitary, and some live in groups.

The small population has only one solitary ogre, while the large population is even as large as Kroger's group, with seventeen or eighteen ogres.

There are also some ogres who become offerings to the settlements of kobolds or gnolls. If there are external enemies, they eat the external enemies, and if there are no external enemies, they eat the offerings.

But there was no doubt that these wild ogres, who had no food to eat every day, were no match for Kroger.

Even the strongest ogre leader is not as strong as the shortest and thinnest heavy armored ogre infantryman.

Kroger was holding a bronze cannon barrel with a fused handle and edges, and wearing hundreds of pounds of bronze armor. He looked down at his unfamiliar fellow tribesmen and immediately made them surrender.

The Buck Mountains where they were located had several mountain trails leading to the Earldom of Gustav.

Six's army collided with Count Fonteyne's attacking force on one of the mountain passes.

An extraordinary scout of the Gustav Legion was lying on a rock hundreds of meters high, holding a monocular telescope and looking at the enemy troops in the valley below.

Leading the way was a large group of armored war pigs, with small dog-headed men riding on them carrying single-barreled shotguns.

Behind them was a large group of ogres, at least thirty or forty of them, and behind them was a group of trolls and kobolds.

The winding canyon had no end in sight, so this extraordinary scout could only see the vanguard of the alien army.

The extraordinary scout was secretly surprised, "How could such a powerful alien force appear in the Buck Mountains?"

Although the Earldom of Gustav is located in the North, it is relatively distant from the entire North. The people of the Earldom identify more with the culture of the South and call the Northerners north of the Buck Mountains "Yankees".

The Count Gustav family also prefers to attack the rich areas in the south rather than focusing on the barren land in the north.

However, this generation of Earl MacDonald was extremely powerful. He joined forces with the border earls in the south and defeated Earl Gustav many times. In the past two years, he even penetrated deep into Gustav's territory and besieged the earl's main city for a year.

Count Fonteyne Gustave, who was completely hurt, could only look to the north, hoping to recover some blood here.

These legion scouts were not familiar with the situation in the Buck Mountains, and were extremely shocked when they suddenly saw such a large alien army.

"This is a major military intelligence. We must report back immediately."
