Lord Harland.

Chapter 282 The Ogre's Special Tactics
The ogre tribe that attacked the camp this time was relatively small, less than 30 people in total.The scope of their activities is not far from the swamp where Savio is hiding.It's just that the necromancer is good at hiding traces, so the ogre didn't notice it.

Today Dunlekin used the Holy Light Token and made a lot of noise, and was immediately discovered by the ogre tribe.

Every human professional is the best food for ogres.Seeing that humans entered the territory, the ogre tribe immediately searched and arrested them.

Ogres have an extraordinary sense of smell, and can clearly smell the scent of prey from several kilometers away.They live in the jungle and are good at tracking their prey. Although everyone left the scene, they were still found by ogres in the camp in the middle of the night.

The ogre tribe that attacked the camp did not have a double-headed ogre mage, and the elders of the tribe were also ordinary-minded, reckless and irritable. After discovering the human camp, they rashly chose to sneak attack, but found that they kicked down the iron plate.The strength of the enemy far exceeds that of the ogre tribe. Once the advantage of sneak attack is lost, the situation of the ogre will immediately become very bad.

Li Cha saw that the ogre's defeat was certain, so he didn't continue to consume mana. In the territory of the legendary ogre, he had to keep a killer weapon at all times.

At any moment, he must leave enough magic power ready to release the star bomb.

Although Li Cha and Sophia did not make any further moves, relying on the powerful forces in the camp, they still easily eliminated all the ogres that had sneaked into the camp.

After the battle, everyone quickly peeled off the ogre's skin, collected it and stored it in the bottle of starlight.Then dug out the magic core in the ogre's body.The ogre's brain can be used to refine potions of deep meditation, and it is also a valuable magic material.

The Church of Dawn has the potion formula for deep meditation, as well as excellent pharmacists, and the brain of the ogre was naturally handed over to Dun Lekin.

Ogre skins can be used to refine enchanted armor, which is a precious resource that Harland's territory urgently needs, and was acquired by Richard.

The value of ogre demon cores is also very high, and everyone has shared some.

Among the three forces, the officers and soldiers of the Wild Lion Legion are the weakest, and they play the least role in the battle. Naturally, they suffer a little when sharing the spoils, and can only share the least benefits.The territory of Harland and the Church of Dawn were allocated the most valuable treasures.

Annihilating an ogre tribe, everyone dared not delay, packed their bags overnight, washed their bodies and continued to walk back.

The ogre social structure is very primitive, and the transmission of messages between tribes is relatively slow.

It took about three or four days before the nearby ogre tribes noticed the anomaly and discovered that a tribe had been wiped out by the enemy.Seeing an intruder coming to the territory, the two-headed ogre mage didn't dare to neglect, and immediately sent the news to the legendary ogre Grasso.

Sensing that outsiders had entered his territory, Gresso immediately ordered all the ogres to mobilize, and searched all the nearby plants and trees.

Soon the necromancer's hidden relics were discovered by the ogres.

When the news reached the ears of the legendary ogre, Li Cha and the others had already returned to the Fortress of Flame, and the team had disbanded.

Because Bernie and the others brought back the stomach pouch of the glutton, the head of the Wild Lion Legion immediately asked for credit for them.

Normally, Bernie and the others can get at least five great merits in this operation, but the credits need to be distributed by forty officers. Although Bernie is the commander, he can get [-]% at most, and the great merits can be replaced with one and a half.

Bernie has accumulated combat achievements for more than ten years. In addition to exchanging breathing methods, ordinary training resources mostly rely on Harland's territorial subsidies. The enchanted armor, weapons, bows and arrows on his body, the second-order iron wildebeest under his crotch, and the usual Tenghui potions all come from Harland.

There is no need to spend meritorious deeds to exchange for foreign objects. After more than ten years of accumulation, Bernie has accumulated seven major meritorious deeds.His second son, Gavin, and his third son, Thorn, served in the Grizzlies successively, accumulating five medium meritorious service.

The feats achieved by the Bernie family are not far from being knighted.

Before the goddess's birthday last year, Li Cha dealt with Bernie's eldest son Twain.Father William promised that after the next orc invasion, he would use his military exploits to help Bernie become a knight.

This time, Bernie won a half-dozen credits, and Richard decided to talk to William to help Bernie get the title in advance.

Having been conferred two earldoms successively, the meritorious service under the name of Richard has been exhausted, but the meritorious service under the name of Sophia and Wendy still has some.

Richard is going to ask Sophia to make a great contribution to help Bernie become a hereditary baron and ease the relationship between the two parties.

After coordinating the interests of the Harland family, Richard sent someone to talk to his third uncle Bernie.Then, through the relationship of his father, William, he found the Marquis Allen, the speaker of the noble council, and conducted a knighthood canonization ceremony to complete the demarcation of the territory.

The territory of the newly promoted military nobles is basically in the northern border, and the opportunity to obtain the southern fiefdom is very rare.If the time for third uncle Bernie to be ennobled is advanced, Richard still has a way to help him place the fief in the middle of the Grand Duchy of Stanik.

But now the division of territories can only be obtained from the four northern provinces.After all, Uncle Bernie is King Roger's vassal, and the fiefdom can only be chosen from the royal family's territory.

Last year, King Roger conferred several barons in the province of Grotta, which now borders the territory of Harland. According to Richard, he hoped that the third uncle would place the territory here.

After thinking about it for a long time, Bernie still agreed with Richard's idea, and now the northern territory of Gerda Province has been sealed off.

The newly promoted nobles of the Grant Kingdom can only divide their territories in the two provinces of Grotta and Gascoigne.Relatively speaking, the province of Gascoigne does not have any powerful nobles. Although there are flame legions stationed there, they are easily invaded by orcs.

The territory is in the northern part of the Gascoigne province, so it is difficult to develop.

Although the province of Grotta was also invaded by orcs, the fiefdom could be placed next to Harland's territory.With the care of the powerful Harland Territory Army, the Territory is relatively safer.

Third Uncle Bernie's territory is in the south of the Grotta River Eastern County, about three kilometers away from the border ferry that Richard passed through when he entered the Duke of Jonathan.

Although the area of ​​this territory is only [-] square kilometers, there are more than [-] square kilometers of valley flats, and the earl of Harland is in the north. Unless the orcs can penetrate the eastern county of Grotta River, otherwise it will be very difficult safety.

In the entire province of Grotta, it is also a very high-quality territory. If it weren't for the sudden increase in the influence of the Harland family, Bernie would not have been able to obtain this territory.

After the third uncle Bernie became a hereditary baron, he appointed his second son Gavin as the heir. Li Cha and William pooled together and supported the third uncle with [-] gold coins as early development funds.

Gavin, Bernie's second son, also resigned from the Earl of Harland, bought [-] serfs, and returned to the territory to run his own family business.

Li Cha and others successfully killed the necromancer, after completing the task.The legendary ogre Grasso sets out to investigate the cause of the demise of the ogre tribe.

Gresso has lived in the Eagle Mountains for hundreds of years, and has dealt with humans for a very long time.

Compared to ordinary ogres, Gresor is brutal and experienced.He even used magic means to control some high-ranking human officials and act as spies for him.

Soon Gresso figured out the whole story through various channels.

Discovering that Richard and the others entered the source of the Kaia River through Songtao Castle, killed the Necromancer, and exterminated an ogre tribe along the way, Gresso frowned immediately.

Since the Duke of Brenner defeated the orcs and seized the three northern provinces more than 100 years ago, the territory of the Kingdom of Grant has extended more than 200 kilometers to the north.Duke Edward built Villa Castle in the north, and has since become the rival of the legendary ogre.

The first Duke Edward was a powerful legendary warrior. He organized his troops several times and went deep into the Eagle Mountains to hunt and kill Gresso.In order to avoid the original Duke Edward, Gresso once moved the territory to the northeast.

After the first Duke Edward died of illness, the legendary ogre moved its residence to its homeland.Over the years, with the decline of the Duke of Edward, it is even necessary to provide Gresso with several thousand people every year.

But humans have expanded their sphere of influence to the depths of the Eagle Mountain Range, and Villa Castle is only about a hundred kilometers away from Gresso's lair.

It turns out that Villa Castle is already a thorn in the side of the legendary ogre, a thorn in the flesh.Every moment, Gresso wanted to tear down the castle.

But Villa Castle is very strong, and it is at the forefront of the north. It is the northern gateway of the Duke of Edward, and there is a legion of soldiers stationed all year round.Even the army of orcs can only besieged and unable to conquer.

Although the ogre tribe controlled by Gresso is not weak, after all, it does not have a large population. Once they attack Villa Castle and suffer heavy losses, they may not be able to maintain their detached position.Regardless of whether it is an orc or a human, as long as the winner is determined in this area, they will definitely free up their hands to attack the ogre tribe and take Gresso's head.

The only thing Gresso can rely on now, apart from two or three thousand ogres, is the forest protection of [-] to [-] square kilometers in the west of the Eagle Mountain Range.

With the protection of vast forests, it is almost impossible for humans to mobilize large armies into the mountains.

Without the protection of the dense forest, the strength of the Jonathan family alone could dispatch an army of [-] to [-] to uproot the ogres in the Eagle Mountain Range.At that time, Gresso will become a polished commander, and he may not be able to save his life.

Although ogre magicians have mastered some bloodline spells, their spellcasting ability is far inferior to that of legendary magicians like Irina, and the level of magic in the ogre tribe is not as good as that of humans and elves, and there are not many powerful magic creations.

Once defeated, Gresso did not master many escape spells.

With the strengthening of Grant Kingdom's national strength, it has been expanding towards the Eagle Mountain Range in recent years.With the establishment of the Earldoms of Harland and Martins, the territory expanded to the north by about [-] square kilometers.

Especially the Earl of Martins squeezed the living space of the ogre tribe.

Songtao Castle is about 160 kilometers away from Gresso's lair.

Once the Earl of Martins develops and has a population of 70 million, it will be able to provide supplies for the army. At that time, the Grant Kingdom will be able to send troops from the east and west sides, and the legendary ogre may not be able to stop it.

Although Richard and others wiped out an ogre tribe, it was just a small matter for Gresso.But the existence of the Earl of Martins is a heart problem for Gresso.

It is not an easy task to eliminate the Earl of Martins.The orcs broke through Songtao Castle twice, looted countless people, killed two Earls of Martins, and did not occupy this area.

With the support of King Roger, even if it is very difficult, this territory is still held by the army.

Now there is still a Redeemer Legion stationed in Songtao Castle, Martins Castle and other places, plus the private army of the Martins family, the total strength is about 5000 people.

"It's not a good way to form a large army and attack the Earl of Martins. The human kingdom will send troops to reinforce it, fight a decisive battle with the main force of the human legion, and consume its own strength. Doing so is tantamount to hitting an egg with a stone."

Gresso thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to let the ogre tribe move eastward, capture the population of the Earl of Martins, and squeeze the living space of the Earl of Martins.

If you run a territory and lose money for many years, even the Roger Kingdom may not be able to withstand it.

Gresso's strategy was very effective. Six or seven ogre tribes moved eastward and began to move around Martins Castle and Songtao Castle, preying on lonely humans.

In just ten days, the Earl of Martins lost hundreds of people.

Adult ogres are all mid-level professionals, because of their special racial talents, they are very good at fighting alone.

Once the ogres are dispersed, the Counties of Martins are full of loopholes.

The population density is too low, the communication conditions are poor, and the development of nearby territories is not mature, making it very difficult for the Earl of Martins to form a crusade army.

Encountering a large-scale human army, the ogre became wiser and would never fight head-on, but retreated into the depths of the forest.

The ogre's strategy is an alien version of guerrilla tactics.

This new tactic immediately made the Earl of Martins very uncomfortable.

The continuous bloodletting by the ogre made it difficult for the Martins family to bear it. Even Nolan's King Roger was helpless in a short time.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to mobilize elite forces to form a team of ogre-hunting professionals. At the very least, more than 100 middle-level professionals are needed, and four to five hundred low-level professionals can gain the upper hand. The ogres drive away.

The combination of the nobles in the northern border of the Grant Kingdom can be transferred to form this team.It's just that the ogres can't threaten their territory, so the nobles are naturally unwilling to make a move.

There is a legend behind the ogre, and in small-scale battles, legendary professionals are almost a crushing force.

Unless Duke Jonathan is transferred, the legendary ogre can be contained.But Duke Jonathan is already the Grand Duke of Stanik, and it is impossible to come here to fight for the interests of the Martins family.

Without powerful legendary professionals in the lineup, if you want to win the battle, how many elite people will die?
Even Li Cha is unwilling to provoke the legendary ogre without lucrative benefits, let alone most of the nobles who don't have a big picture.

King Roger's royal family, despite their strength, was unwilling to pay for the Martins family. After all, this territory belonged to the Martins family.The Grant family has no reason to pay for the Martins family.
