In this way, under the watchful eyes of a group of caravans, the most powerful man in the alliance led his subordinates to the border of Stormland.
From the rear, more than a dozen spies on war horses soon followed.
Nalant paid no attention to the spies behind him.
About an hour later, Narante arrived at the border area.
However, at this time, Lilia reported that these goblins were less than three miles away from them.
"Everyone stop and prepare for battle immediately!"
Since he could not go deep into the jungle, Narant could only fight encounters on the border.
This time, the spearmen are still in the middle, with the Wild Wolf Knights and the Storm Knights on both sides.
As for the trebuchets and ballistas, they were placed in an open space surrounded by haystacks at the rear.
This is also the fortification that Nalant deployed in the past.
In addition, there are many arrow towers made of bricks on this border.
Even these arrow towers were before the pikemen.
At this moment, the arrow towers were already filled with long archers.
Each arrow tower can accommodate ten people.
With the protection of this arrow tower, the safety of longbowmen can be guaranteed even in the battlefield.
Because the arrow tower is closed from the inside.
"Sir, they are coming!"
When Nalant's subordinates completed their arrangements, Shirley Little Loli immediately gave a warning.
Immediately, there was a sparse swaying at the edge of the woods ahead.
With the shaking, short green-skinned goblins emerged one after another.
The height of these goblins is almost the same as that of dwarves.
However, they do not have the burly stature of dwarves.
Instead, he looked like he had been starved for two years, and his whole body was skin and bones.
"Ook! Ook!"
When the goblin saw Nalant and others, he immediately shouted Oko Oko.
The shouts of these tens of thousands of goblins were as chaotic and annoying as the buzzing of bees.
Wow!
Wow!
At this moment, there was a louder sound of swaying branches and leaves from the edge of the forest.
Immediately, tall figures appeared one after another.
"Ah, sir, those big guys are so ugly!"
"Yeah, why do they only have one eye?"
"It's actually a one-eyed troll!"
When these big men appeared, all of Nalant's subordinates were shocked.
In particular, it was the first time for Shirley and the other girls to see such incredible creatures.
But Nalant immediately recognized that it was the one-eyed troll.
The one-eyed troll looks like a human, but is extremely tall, standing four to five meters tall.
Moreover, his whole body was bloated and round, just like the lost butcher in the novel of his previous life.
What's more important is that they only have one eye on their heads.
But this eye alone takes up half of the face.
At this moment, these one-eyed trolls all have weapons in their hands, including huge wooden stakes and maces.
And there is a goblin standing on the shoulders of these one-eyed trolls to command.
Suddenly, Nalant saw more than ten trolls, which were very different.
What these trolls are holding are not weapons, but two large baskets.
But what was contained in the basket was stone bullets that were polished and rounded.
And these trolls even have slingshot-like projectors on their backs.
"This is actually the most original version of a self-propelled gun!"
To be honest, it was the first time for Narant to see such an incredible scene.
"Ook! Ook!"
At this time, both goblins and trolls came out of the forest.
The number of people is as reported by Swift Eagle, there are tens of thousands of goblins and hundreds of one-eyed trolls.
Soon the tallest troll walked out of the group of goblins, and standing on the shoulders of the troll was a goblin wearing a silk dress.
This goblin led dozens of little goblins towards the open space between the two sides.
Upon seeing this, Nalant understood what the other party meant, waved to Da Shitou and others, and then led ten wild wolves to the field.
The two sides were more than fifty meters apart when the goblin spoke.
"Despicable humans, we come with anger this time, you must pay the price for the despicable acts you have committed!"
Before Nalant could speak, the goblin sitting on the one-eyed troll spoke first.
"What despicable behavior? Now you goblins have invaded my territory for no reason!"
When Nalant heard this, his brows immediately wrinkled.
"Hmph, you cunning human race, you used a honey trap to kill our great Ork leader last month, don't you dare to admit it?"
"Also, later on you sent troops to plunder two of our small villages and slaughtered all our people. Don't you dare to admit it?"
The goblin continued to question arrogantly.
"I used a honey trap to kill your big leader and plundered two of your villages. I'm afraid you made a mistake!"
"During this month, my subordinates have not left the Storm Territory!"
"Hmph, shameless humans, we already have enough evidence to show that you did these things!"
"And I am standing up to talk to you now not to listen to your sophistry, but to ask you shameless humans if you want to live."
Obviously, this goblin had already concluded that Nalant had attacked them.
So, I don’t believe Narant’s excuse at all.
"What if you want to live, what if you don't want to live?"
Nalant frowned, knowing that these guys were determined to believe that he was the murderer.
So he didn't explain any more.
"If you want to live, you need to pay us goblins enough ransom to buy your lives."
"For example, 200,000 gold coins, 5,000 carts of grain, 8,000 cattle and sheep, and 500 carts of iron ore!"
"If you can meet our conditions, then we Goblins will spare you this time!"
"But if you refuse to pay the ransom, then we goblins will destroy your territory, plunder your castle, and make all of you slaves!"
The goblin leader sat on the one-eyed troll's shoulder and spoke sternly.
"Haha!" Nalant was immediately amused.
Two hundred thousand gold coins, 5,000 carts of grain, and 8,000 cattle and sheep, it would be difficult for even a count to come up with it.
But the other party was so open-mouthed that he was really convinced.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "How about it, human nobles, have you thought about it?"
"I've already thought about it!" Nalant nodded, "Then just come here and I will make sure you never come back!"
"Also, let me reiterate, your big leader and those two camps were not attacked by me!"
"If you are smart enough, evacuate immediately and I will pretend it never happened."
"But if you really want to attack, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Hmph, shameless human race, you still dare to lie at this time. Since you have rejected the goodwill of me, the new Ork leader, then prepare to face the wrath of the Goblin!"
After saying that, the goblin leader directly ordered the one-eyed troll to turn around and leave.
Nalant also returned to the front with his subordinates.
"Sir, why are these green goblins attacking us?"
When Shirley saw her master returning, she immediately asked out of curiosity.
"Someone is framing us. They attacked the goblin village, and then framed us as the leader of the storm." Nalant replied lightly.
"Ah, it's so abominable. Sir, who could it be?"
When Shirley heard this, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"There is a high probability that it is the orcs, followed by the Bach Empire or the Duke of Kent!"
Narant actually already had three framed suspects in his mind.
Of course, among the three framed targets, the most likely ones are the orcs.
The reason is very simple. The other party used a honey trap when they just mentioned killing their leader.
Another way of saying this is that the Goblin leader was deceived and then assassinated.
In this way, the only person who can confuse a tribe leader is probably the Fox tribe woman.
After all, it was the Fox tribe woman who took the wise approach that day.
As for the Bach Empire and the Duke of Kent, although they are also suspected, it is not that simple for them to rely on the beauty trap.
Because the aesthetics of goblins and humans are very different, even if you send a human being who thinks she is a beautiful woman, the goblins may not like her.
The only pity is that these goblins are very difficult to get along with, so there is no chance for Nalant to ask for details.
Otherwise he can work out a more precise answer.
Of course, none of this matters now.
As long as we defeat this goblin army, everything will be clear.
…
"Ah, today's enemy turns out to be Goblin!"
"Yes, don't Goblins rarely come out of the Death Swamp? Why are they attacking the Storm Territory this time?"
"Yes, look at those trolls, they are as powerful as the tauren!"
"I don't know if Baron Nalant can win this time. You see, although these goblins are small, their strength is not low, and they also have many weapons!"
"I'll take a look first. If something goes wrong, everyone should return immediately and report to the caravan!"
More than a mile behind Nalant, more than a dozen spies sent by the caravan were already whispering among themselves.
I originally thought that it was orcs who invaded Nalant's territory this time, but I didn't expect that it was a rare goblin.
And these goblins were obviously out in force, and there were even hundreds of trolls. This was definitely a force that could not be ignored.
Woohoo!
At this moment, a horn sound came from ahead.
It turns out that the goblins have already started attacking.
Thousands of goblins and more than five hundred one-eyed trolls began to slowly approach Nalant's team.
There are seventy or eighty trebuchets deployed in the rear.
Buzz buzz!
With a muffled sound, the projectiles on these trebuchets were shot out violently, and then fell towards Nalant.
"Be careful to avoid!"
"Attack the team from a distance, fight back, and attack the enemy trebuchet first!"
Upon seeing this, Nalant immediately shouted to remind his subordinates, and then issued orders to the attacking team in the distance.
Buzz buzz!
The next moment, there was a buzzing sound from Nalant's side.
Whoosh whoosh!
With the buzzing sound, seventy stone bullets from Nalant's side also fell towards the back of the goblin team.
Bang bang bang!
Due to the lack of real accuracy, the first round of trebuchet shooting from both sides was actually a little off.
However, this is also normal, because in such a backward world, weapons such as trebuchets need to be corrected visually when firing.
And next, it's time for long-range weapons like trebuchets to show their power.
"Oak, isn't this Stormlord just a baron? Why does he have so many trebuchets!"
After the Goblin camp was attacked, several prisoners were captured.
And it was from the mouths of these prisoners that they tortured out the origin of the attack.
And also learned the basic information about the attacker.
A human border baron and minor noble.
It is said that he is the illegitimate son of a great nobleman of a certain empire.
Because he was ostracized by the nobleman's wife, he was eventually assigned to this border.
However, even though he was assigned to the border, the great noble also compensated him and allocated a lot of protection force to him.
For example, the Warcraft Cavalry and the Elite Knights!
In addition, the great noble gave the illegitimate son a lot of wealth.
I heard that there were millions of gold coins, tens of thousands of cows, sheep and other livestock, and thousands of cartloads of other grain and other crops were also delivered at one time to ensure that the illegitimate child could live comfortably enough.
As for why this illegitimate son who was obviously very nourished wanted to attack their goblins.
That's because in order to show off his abilities, this illegitimate son is planning to use their goblins as a stepping stone to become famous in the Holy Alliance.
It's just that this noble bastard doesn't know.
It would be a big mistake for him to seek fame from his great Okgoblin tribe.
He would make these human beings pay a price, such as plundering all the wealth given to him by his noble father.
However, at this moment, no goblin could answer the goblin leader's words.
Because many goblins have no idea who the other human race is.
Bang bang bang!
While the Goblin leader was confused, the opponent's second round of trebuchet shots had already been knocked down.
With the banging sound, three trebuchets were immediately smashed!
The goblin leader grinned at this.
"Shoot the enemy's trebuchet for me immediately!"
He angrily issued orders to his subordinates.
"Ook! But great leader, we can't even see where the enemy's trebuchet is!"
A Goblin captain in charge of the trebuchet made a bitter sound after hearing this.
"Asshole, although you can't see the enemy's trebuchet, won't you hit it in the general direction?"
"Didn't you just see where the stone bullets were shot from?"
The big goblin leader scolded him.
"yes!"
The Goblin captain immediately lowered his head, quickly walked towards the trebuchet team, and issued the order again.
In this way, the trebuchets of both sides turned into shooting at each other, and they no longer paid attention to the enemies in the field.
While the threat of trebuchets was eliminated, Nalant still had thirty crossbows.
"Sir, we have reached the range!"
When the goblin in front approached within 400 meters, Vivian immediately warned.
"Then let's get started, remember to target those one-eyed trolls first!"
