Chapter 435 Ogre Warlord(1/3)
A few minutes later, when they saw more than two hundred fat men several meters tall in the distance, walking towards the dwarf fortress, Donna and Elegy realized that they were some ogres.
Elegy was immediately surprised and looked at Maldis who was sitting on the horse next to him: "How did you find them?"
They obviously came back together, so why did she discover these ogres after not seeing each other for so many minutes?
Martis didn't say much, and just pointed to the sky, where several carrion vultures were circling.
After seeing this scene, Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. These things are commonly used by Khalida's scouts. Why does Martis also have them?
He remembered that ordinary death knights could only summon ghouls at most. Those with some spare money might choose to buy a few gargoyles, but it seemed that he had never heard of anyone who could control carrion vultures.
He could only sigh secretly once again, Maltis was indeed no ordinary death knight.
Well, after the battle with the nearby greenskins is over, our own strength is almost enough, and we can just go and deal with the ghost dragon Black.
I just don’t know how much things about Malthus can be remembered by the part of my consciousness that has been divided.
After nodding to her, Levi blessed himself with the mutated dragon wing technique, and then flew towards the leading ogre.
Ogres always judge their strength based on their size and appearance. The bigger and more ferocious they are, the stronger they look, which may help in the subsequent negotiations.
As the distance continued to get closer, he soon found a guy who was significantly stronger than ordinary ogres in terms of height and waist.
The opponent was so big and round, he looked like a small giant. With every move he made, the whole body trembled.
In the eyes of humans, this may not be beautiful, but in the eyes of the ogre, he will undoubtedly be very majestic, especially now that he is riding on the giant woolly rhinoceros, it looks even more impressive.
But when he noticed the other person's gaze, Levi felt that he seemed to be superfluous, because the guy actually looked at his wings and drooled.
Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Levi waved his hand to cancel the magic, indicating that it was a fake, and then he took out the giant meat from the space ring with his backhand.
After receiving the reminder from General Poisonous Scorpion, he, Elegy, Donna and others have been deliberately collecting through various channels in the past few days, and now they have accumulated a lot.
Then he saw the big guy in the lead, and his eyes were filled with tears in an instant. His saliva was like a waterfall, flowing straight down, and his chest was soaked in the blink of an eye.
Li Wei couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, the information about General Poisonous Scorpion was indeed reliable.
He didn't waste any time, picked the smallest piece and threw it over: "Come on, big guys, inspect the goods first, and then decide whether you are willing to accept my employment?"
Not caring whether it was poisonous or not, the ogre swallowed it into his belly in a few mouthfuls, and then he smashed it in his mouth, as if he wanted to savor it.
But he soon discovered that this little meat not only failed to satisfy his craving, but actually made him hungrier.
"Skinny guy, bring all the meat over here. The ogre warlord Brout Big Mouth and the foodies under my command will all help you fight!"
Although the other party's tone was not very friendly, Levi didn't take it seriously. Skinny pole is a very typical word for ogres. It does not contain any derogatory connotations and is simply used to refer to other races other than ogres.
.
After all, whether they are greenskins or dwarves, they are all skinny compared to them.
He just waved his hand behind him, and immediately asked some Silver Light Guards to transport a large amount of meat with the dirge that had been prepared in advance.
Of course, the giant meat was specially prepared for the leader Brault, and the rest were just ordinary meat.
But despite this, the ogres were very satisfied. They didn't care about anything else and started lighting a fire, boiling water, setting up pots, and preparing to cook in the open space outside the fortress. The whole process was completed in one go.
Among the things that ogres are best at and like most, eating is ranked first, and other things like robbing or fighting are second.
Levi also used the Dragon Breath spell to light a fire for the ogres, which was a little show of his power.
This trick was still very useful. In addition, meat was constantly being delivered nearby. The short-tongued Brault soon stopped using the word "skinny" to describe him, and started asking him for his name.
, this is a very good start.
While the ogres were busy, Levi also used giant meat as bait and successfully signed an employment treaty with Brault that was very beneficial to him at a low price.
He will pay a lot of meat and some gold coins as reward, and will provide them with a certain amount of food every day.
Brout needs to lead his men to fight for Li Wei until Li Wei allows him to leave or the casualty rate of his troops exceeds 90%.
But the ogres probably don't care. They are all the way in a foreign country, helping humans, dwarves, elves and other races to fight. Essentially, it's just for food. As long as there is food, everything else is not that important.
They were negotiating employment contracts here, and the ogres on the other side were preparing to cook. During the whole process, ogres kept taking advantage of the opportunity to steal food.
And every time, Brault could almost catch the opponent with great accuracy. Then without saying a word, he would rather give up the negotiation with Levi temporarily and grab a big wooden stick from his waist, rush up and hit the opponent hard.
His head made a series of "bang bang" muffled sounds.
Seeing this scene, the dwarves who rushed after hearing the news were all speechless.
They still don't know the specific combat power of these ogres, but their ability to withstand beatings is definitely very good, otherwise they would have been beaten to death by their boss.
It's just that ogres are not smart in the first place. If they are beaten on the head like this every day, they are probably not far from being fools, right?
However, Li Wei knew that the other party had restrained himself, because Brault claimed to be a typical ogre tyrant, and his current level was 12/7.
According to Li Wei's understanding, the opponent should be a violent warrior with high attack and high defense, but his attack speed is relatively slow. If he really uses his full strength, his younger brother may not be able to withstand it.
In addition to nearly two hundred level 3-4 ogre bull warriors, Brout's men also had more than thirty level 5 lead-sprayers and eight crushers riding giant rhinos.
Although the number is not large, once this kind of sixth-level troops, which weighs tens of thousands of kilograms, launches a charge, I am afraid that the walls of ordinary villages and towns will be directly knocked down by a wave.
Li Wei was very satisfied with this. His troops have tended to be perfect in other places, but they have always been relatively weak in two aspects, one is war equipment, and the other is shock cavalry.
Now thanks to the generosity of the dwarves and the addition of Brout, both aspects have been made up for.
At the same time, these two aspects are also areas where the high elves are relatively weak.
Their only siege equipment is the Eagle Claw Ballista, and the top ground cavalry is the Dragon Prince Cavalry. But if they go head-to-head with the Crusher, they are just looking for death.
Of course, in addition to the excellent resistant infantry, many powerful shooters headed by Avalon, and a large number of mages and priests, the high elves' most powerful thing is actually their air force.
The number of dragons may not be particularly large, but the Ice Phoenix, Flame Phoenix, Arcane Phoenix, and a large number of Griffin Knights and Heavenly Lion Knights are all quite powerful.
Not to mention the larger number of Sky Slayers and Giant Eagles, as well as the almost strongest level 6 flying cavalry in the main world - Tal Gaiwo Griffin Knight.
The high elves' ground cavalry can only be said to be useful, but they cannot be said to be particularly strong. The real cavalry power of Lilith's Bator Kingdom is based on knights.
Moreover, the armors worn by the Dragon Prince Cavalry are all forged in volcanoes and have strong fire resistance. What they are really good at is actually fighting enemies with fire attacks such as demons.
It's just that the ogres also have several obvious weaknesses. They don't have any air force at all. The only long-range unit seems to be lead sprayers. However, if this thing wants to deal with the air force, it is just a fantasy. This can be regarded as a gain and a loss.
While arranging food for the ogres to have a feast, Levi inquired about information from the other party.
The other party has been wandering deep in the Badlands, so he should be relatively familiar with the current trends of the green skins, right?
As expected, Brault did not disappoint him: "The green-skinned bald guys have all gathered together, and they are moving together in thousands and tens of thousands at every turn. Those trolls, giants and other idiots are also joining the army. I don't know how to do it."
I couldn’t find a suitable opportunity to start my business.”
Levi almost couldn't stand it. Greenskins are indeed bald, but aren't you ogres?
And saying that giants are stupid is just like how smart you ogres are.
It is said that the smartest ogre in the world is the legendary hero - the Golden Tooth Tyrant - Gresu, but the outside world evaluates him as almost as good as a human being
This evaluation is not particularly good. Humans have never been known for their intelligence. Not to mention, they are incomparable to elves.
The main reason why humans have their current status in the main world is because they have no obvious shortcomings.
Their strength is not as good as greenskins, their intelligence is not as good as elves, their skills are not as good as dwarves, and their reproduction is not as good as goblins or ratmen.
But on the other hand, their intelligence is much higher than that of greenskins, their reproduction speed is much faster than that of elves and dwarves, and their average combat power is even worse than that of goblins.
Coupled with his diligence and studiousness, he is often willing to put up a brave face when facing a real enemy. In order to survive, he can temporarily abandon the hatred of the past and join forces with his former enemies. He especially likes to stick together and so on.
The most important thing is that their lifespan is neither short nor long. They often spend decades cultivating a certain degree of piety and contributing a lot of faith to God. Even if they are not killed by the enemy, they will still be killed because of it.
He aged and died, then turned into a soul and became the guards of the gods in the Kingdom of God.
This is very comfortable for the human gods, so their overall strength and growth rate are much stronger than those of other races.
The greenskins have less than 10 gods in total, and the dwarves have more than 10, but humans have three-digit gods, and the powerful divine power alone is more than the total number of dwarf gods.
If they had not split into many different camps for various reasons, but had united together, there would be no room for other races to speak in this world.
The reason why the elves and gods are so strong is because of their accumulation over the past countless years, but people with insight, such as Lilith and the Storm God-Marselan, have gone to the humans to open vests.
While thinking wildly, Levi collected more information from Brault.
After a few days, the greenskins gradually changed their combat strategy.
After they capture a place, they often do not destroy it, but occupy it on the spot, and even give priority to strengthening the defense facilities. It is obvious that they intend to completely turn it into the territory of the greenskins.
Although most of the areas abandoned by the dwarves are small villages, the environment is still much better than the greenskins' original badlands.
After the initial chaos, the small groups of greenskins wandering in the wild basically formed a group. Almost any low-level village would have thousands of defenders, and towns would have even more.
At the same time, there are wolf cavalry on the ground and harpies and rocs in the sky as scouts. Once there is an enemy situation, reinforcements will arrive soon.
The reason why Brault knew so well was because he liked eating giant meat the most, so he once tried to sneak attack a few lone giants.
Then he was besieged by overwhelming greenskins, otherwise his original number of troops would be several times greater than now.
In most ogre armies, there will be some nubras similar to goblins, both as cannon fodder and as backup food.
But after that battle, although Brault's main force escaped, all of them were dead, so they were really starving now.
After hearing this, Levi couldn't help but frown a little.
The greenskins are accustomed to plundering and destroying after victory. They originally made a living by hunting in the Badlands.
At the same time, they don't pay special attention to patrols or scouts. They prefer to swarm in and get the job done.
