Chapter 196 The Ogre is Reckless
These untouchables don't know that Durant, as a ruler, knows very well why a country can still exist in the border prince's territory. It is because the Empire and Bretonnia think that this place has no value and they will not gain any benefits by occupying it.

It would be better to keep these wild guys to protect them from the threats from the badlands or the seaside. Even if they can't hold on, they can still provide some buffer.

But now, no matter how unacceptable Durant is, he must overcome the crisis. He has heard of the name of this group of ogres a long time ago, but he is not just here to eat and do nothing, having withstood countless orc attacks.

Although the cowards were afraid, they were even more afraid of the group of ogres behind them.

Those who walked slowly or were afraid to move forward were turned into a pool of meat paste under the heavy hammers of these hundreds of ogre bull warriors.

They charged forward with the crude weapons in their hands, but these short guys didn't seem to pose much of a threat.

"Shoot! Shoot these guys to death for me!" Durant also took out a longbow.

The crossbowmen and archers on the city wall began to shoot at the group of miscellaneous soldiers.

Arrows fell like raindrops, and the cowards began to fall down in large numbers before they even got close to the city wall.

Soon the ground was covered with a thick layer of corpses.

The ogres had no regrets about the loss of their vassal army. If they died, they could just capture more. It would be enough as long as they could use up all the bows and arrows of the humans in the city.

Although the ogres rely on their strong bodies, they are also large in size. Facing crossbowmen with sufficient armor-piercing capabilities, even the ogres cannot resist for a long time.

Although Skarragh is not very smart, it does not mean that he is not good at fighting.

Seeing that the crossbow arrows on the city wall began to become sparse, Skarrag also gave the order to charge.

The cowards did play their role. There were not many bows and arrows in Akendorf, and the few cannons did not fire from beginning to end. Durant knew that the precious shells must be saved for the most important time.

The collective charge of the ogres made the earth seem to tremble, and the defenders on the city wall couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

"Hurry up and load the crossbows! None of you want to become food, right? Cannonballs! Load the cannonballs and shoot at the biggest guy!"

Durant kept walking on the city wall, inspiring the soldiers. He was able to take root and grow here, which showed that he had enough leadership and military qualities.

The bull warriors approached, and it was unknown which soldier nervously pulled the trigger of the crossbow first, and then everyone started shooting at the ogre.

The ogres walking in the front were soon riddled with arrows. If they were humans, they would have been dead long ago, but the ogres relied on their terrifying physical fitness to continue moving forward.

But this is not a game. The units in the game can receive various buffs from lords. As long as the soldiers are not dead and their health is low, it doesn't matter. They can still output damage. However, this is not the case in reality. Ogres also have an upper limit on the damage they can withstand.

During the second wave of shooting, the first ogre warrior fell, followed by the third, the fourth, and so on. By the time the ogres approached the city wall, more than a dozen ogres had fallen.

"For the Big Eater!" Skarragh roared. As long as the battle entered the close combat stage, it would be the Ogre's home court.

He chopped at the gate of Akendorf with an iron hook in one hand and a machete in the other. Immediately, wood chips flew everywhere. The gate that seemed solid in the past could not hold out for long under the destruction of these ogres.

Some ogres also grabbed stones or any handy objects on the ground and began to throw them at the human defenders on the city wall.

No matter which soldier was hit, he would be sent flying backwards. Bourne and Ferrer, who were still watching the battle from a distance, said to each other.

"If this group of ogres were equipped with appropriate equipment like the Ogryns, their role on the battlefield would be even greater than we imagined." Looking at this group of ogres, Ferrel was reminded of the Ogryn guard who used to be with the political commissar of his former regiment.

Loyal, strong and fearless, he saved the political commissar several times. Everyone wants to have an Ogryn guard, but the fighting style of this group of ogres in front of him is even crazier than that of the Ogryn.

"Hey, Brother Ferrell, the person on the other side is also a human being. Is it really appropriate for me to do this?"

"Bourne, why do you feel guilty? How many of these bandits, smugglers and fugitives who stay here are innocent? You already knew this before you came here. Countless caravans and adventurers disappear here every year. If we were not strong enough, we would have been eaten by them in Manzig without leaving a bone."

Ferrer didn't care.

"Gunner! Fire at the ogre that's tearing down the city gate! Quickly!"

Durant yelled.

With a "bang", the three cannons on the city wall directly hit the two bull warriors. The huge penetrating power blew a big hole in the belly of one ogre, and the other ogre's head was blown off.

The headless ogre began to bleed from the neck, splattering everywhere, but this instead aroused the ferocity of the ogres.

After Skarragh chopped with all his strength, the city fell.

The ogres followed the remaining kobolds in.

But this does not mean the battle is over.

There are still several thousand human defenders in the city, each of them holding a spear. As spearmen, they formed a square formation to block the attack of the ogres.

It cannot be said that the counterattack of these spearmen has no effect. After all, they are all soldiers who have fought against the orcs. If they are counted as soldier levels, they should at least have a silver bar or a level close to the silver bar.

When the depth was sufficient, they were able to block the ogres near the city gate. However, except for Skarragg, the attribute of mass did not have an obvious value in the entire game, but it actually affected the effect of a certain unit breaking through the formation. The larger the size, the more obvious the effect.

Skarrag rushed directly into the phalanx of spearmen, his two hands replaced by weapons waving wildly, taking away several human soldiers each time.

Humans were dying in battle, ogres were also dying in battle, and the cowards who rushed into the city began to step on the ogres' feet to assist their masters in charging.

"Brother Ferrell, it's time for us to go. We can't just watch these ogres kill everyone, nor can we let them suffer too many losses."

"Hahaha, good! Let's go pick up what's available! Soldiers! Battle formation! Advance! If there's resistance, just shoot them, but don't kill innocent people!"

Five hundred Terran soldiers began to advance.

But when they arrived at the gate of Akendorf, the battle was unexpectedly at a stalemate.

The ogres' physical strength began to decline, and their efficiency in killing or breaking the formation also began to decrease. The humans relied on their numbers to resist desperately. If the enemy was replaced by other humans, they might have surrendered long ago, but who made the opponent an ogre? Being eaten? It would be better to die in battle.
