Warlord: King of All Clans

The orc warriors following Tanval came to their senses and pounced on Taz, but he easily killed them.

Orc warriors on guard nearby, unable to resist, were also stabbed to death by Taz's guards.

Kicking the head of the orc warlord Tanval off the city wall, Taz ordered his guards: "Immediately gather warriors and seize the Earl's Mansion!"

The trolls around him were caught off guard and frightened by Taz's violent actions. Hearing the order, they were even more confused.

A guard hesitated and said, "Lord Herman has treated us well. Why should we attack him?"

"Kill Tanval, and the king will be the strongest warrior under Lord Herman. Won't all the resources be given to you first?"

Taz glared at him fiercely, "How can a dignified troll live under a human earl for long? I've long been disgusted with that guy. Let's take the Earl's Mansion, seize all the dragon blood and dragon meat, eat and drink our fill, and advance together. The rise of the troll kingdom is just around the corner!"

Taz's guards had always followed his lead. Hearing this, they no longer hesitated, picked up their weapons, and called out to their friends, gathering their troops.

A thousand troll warriors quickly gathered, and nearly a thousand orcs on rotation, unaware that their leader was dead, were coerced by the trolls and foolishly rushed towards the Earl's Mansion.

Herman had always been wary of the alien legions, and in the past, he had always stationed them north of the Frowald city walls, only conscripting them when there was a war.

But after years of getting along and fighting together, he had become much more relaxed.

Especially now, with the relationship between the Riverlands and the orcs warming up, the Earldom of Freiroff, sandwiched in the middle, also benefited.

The hostile emotions between humans and aliens have further eased, and the northern city gate has not been closed for three months.

Tanval and Taz's troops began to participate in city defense this month, taking turns with the human legions to be responsible for Frowald's daily defense.

Taz's unprovoked rebellion, chosen at the most relaxed moment, caught the entire Frowald off guard, allowing him to lead his troops across the main city and into the Freiroff Earl's Mansion.

The guards of the Earl's Mansion were the most elite troops in the entire earldom, all heavy armored elites. Seeing the trolls rushing in, they closed the Earl's Mansion gate as soon as possible, attempting to defend it.

Then, the next second, the five-meter-high outer wall of the Earl's Mansion was easily climbed over by the trolls, and steel headhunting spears rained down.

Whether it was plate armor, lamellar armor, or scale armor, it could not stop the throwing of short spears by the troll headhunters.

Earl Herman didn't have time to put on his armor and had just arrived at the gate with his guards when he was hit by a wave of spear rain.

A mid-level extraordinary guard raised the steel shield in his hand and stood in front of Herman, blocking the javelins.

Three headhunting spears hit his steel shield, two spear shafts shattered, and debris splashed, and a steel armor-piercing spear pierced the heavy steel shield.

The slightly deformed spear tip barely stopped on the extraordinary guard's cheek.

This was the extraordinary shield guard that Herman had specially used to defend against firearms. The steel plate shield in his hand weighed hundreds of pounds. He didn't expect to use it on the troll headhunters first.

The headhunting spears of ordinary troll headhunters were already the same as smoothbore guns, and the short spears thrown by extraordinary trolls like Taz were even more powerful than smoothbore guns.

Seeing his headhunting spear being blocked by the opponent, Taz knew that ranged throwing could not kill the opponent, so he drew two battle axes and strode forward, "Herman, come out and die!"

Herman was so angry that his eyes were red, "Taz, what are you doing? What good will rebellion do you?"

"Good? The benefit is that I don't have to listen to you talk about rules and morality. Your nonsense can only fool stupid orcs!"

Herman watched as the Earl's Mansion gate was opened, and teams of orc warriors rushed in, and couldn't help but ask, "Where's Tanval? What did you do to him?"

Over the years, Taz and Tanval had followed Herman to fight on all sides, and they knew each other well.

Compared to Taz's untamed nature and lack of rules, Tanval was much more upright, knowing that Herman treated them sincerely.

Therefore, Tanval fought to the death in every battle and usually obeyed orders, more loyal than the human flag officer.

It was for this reason that Herman had always resisted public opinion and vigorously supported the alien legions. With Tanval, an orc warrior general about to advance to the high level, sitting in command, he had never thought that the alien legions would suddenly rebel.

While they were talking, a large group of crossbowmen emerged from the Earl's Mansion, mixed with some musketeers, and guards in the distance galloped away, running to call for reinforcements.

Taz immediately realized that the other party was stalling for time, so he raised the battle axe in his hand, "Go!"

Hundreds of trolls had already climbed over the outer wall and squeezed in. Hearing this, they roared past Taz and pounced on the Earl's Mansion guards.

"Fire!"

Dense crossbow bolts and musket bullets flew towards the trolls.

The orc warriors at the gate hesitated, not knowing which side to help, but as the crossbow bolts and bullets from the opposite side shot mercilessly, they also roared and launched an attack.

The heavy crossbows in the hands of the Earl's guards were heavy foot-drawn crossbows that only heavy armored elites could pull open, equipped with expensive enchanted pointed steel arrows that could penetrate knight plate armor.

But after hitting the iron plates on the alien warriors, the arrowheads could only penetrate three inches into the flesh, and could not directly kill the trolls.

The iron armor of the orcs and trolls was specially customized by Herman for them. Although the quality was crude, it was thick and had stronger defensive power than knight plate armor.

Herman still underestimated the vitality of the aliens. Humans would basically lose their combat power if they were shot three inches deep by armor-piercing crossbow arrows.

But the trolls and orcs, as long as their hearts and brains were not injured, could continue to charge forward with five or six steel arrows.

Only the heavy muskets purchased from the Riverlands at great expense could penetrate the iron plates and dig a bloody hole in the alien warriors.

In a hurry, the Earl's Mansion guards only gathered a few hundred people, completely unable to resist Taz's troops.

Seeing that the defense line was about to be lost, an extraordinary knight came out and said to Herman, "Lord Earl, retreat, I'll hold them back."

This extraordinary knight was a vassal who had opposed Herman's recruitment of aliens from beginning to end, and had repeatedly opposed the Earl.

If it weren't for his deep family background and powerful personal strength, Herman would have stripped him of his territory long ago.

At this time, the extraordinary knight stood up, and Herman felt ashamed and angry, "Mind your own business..."

The Northern Knight was unwilling to argue with Herman any further, and waved his hand, "Take Lord Earl away first."

And he himself, with the remaining knights and guards, stood in front of Taz.

Herman's extraordinary shield guards dragged the struggling Herman and fled into the depths of the Earl's Mansion.

The outnumbered extraordinary knights were slaughtered after only holding Taz back for five minutes.

Taz's slender arm, carrying the last extraordinary knight, as if an adult was carrying a half-sized child, twisted his neck and looked into the depths of the Earl's Mansion, "Chase!"
