Chapter 71: Shrek Warriors

The ogre lord raised his hand to signal the poet not to be excited, and fixed his gaze on the whirlwind, until the magical creation hovered in front of him, and then asked in a low voice: "Feng'er, show Shrek the news you brought. "
The magical whirlwind seemed to be wise, following Shrek's instructions to accelerate the hovering and flying, and the wind eyes released the words that had been stored before the Soul Essence, and repeated it word by word.
Shrek and Casio heard clearly, and the moment they looked at each other showed joy.
"King, it's time to launch an offensive!" Casio could not wait to say.
Shrek waved his hand, dispelling the magical whirlwind, turning over and riding on the fierce bear nicknamed "Baron", holding the gold helmet decorated with griffin feathers with both hands, solemnly wearing it on his head, shaking the reins Ride down the hillside.
Casio watched Shrek rush down the hill in an armored giant bear and lifted a huge bronze horn to fight hard. The high-pitched horn shocked the jungle, revealing a sense of killing. The Ogre Warriors stationed on the of the hill heard the sound of the charge and quickly assembled, following King Shrek towards the Valley of Algongan. The combative nature of the ogres, which had been suppressed for many days, was finally released at this moment, and the wild roar over the horn, echoing over the jungle.
At the same time that Casio sounded the horn, the sentinel in Povatan village was also alert and quickly sounded the alarm. Magni and Kandy, who were dealing with government affairs at the village office, were taken aback by the sudden policeman. The brothers and sisters looked at each other and jumped up to the village whistle tower.
"What's the matter!" Magni wind generally ascended the sentry tower and questioned the sentry who sounded the alarm.
"Enemies! Ogres, large groups of ogres!" The young sentry was speechless because of extreme tension.
Magni grabbed the telescope and saw a large group of heavily-armed ogres rushing from the northern forest like a tide. The ogres led by them wore shiny scale armor, with a spike on their shoulders. The giant warhammer, wearing a war helmet decorated with golden feathers, riding a giant bear covered with steel armor, just a glance at a distance gives a strong sense of oppression.
"It's Shrek and his team of Ogre Warriors!" Magni dropped his telescope and was both angry and puzzling. "The Ogre in the Deep Forest Valley has always been in the same waters as our Algongan Jingjing. Why did he come suddenly? Attack our village!"
Conti remained as calm as possible, speculating: "This may be related to the withered monster that appeared in the North not long ago. The ogres in the deep forest valley may have been bought by the conquering sect and become an accomplice of the cult."
"It's very possible!" Magni nodded, his face dignified, "I'll call the tribes to organize defense, Condy, you immediately cast a letter to your parents, tell them the crisis in their home, and then find a safe place Take cover and take care of yourself!"
Magni hurried down the tower without waiting for her sister to answer. Kandy didn’t want to hide as a deserter at this time when it was related to the survival of the tribe, but his brother was right to say that with this force left behind in the village, I’m afraid he couldn’t stop the sudden attack of the ogres army. The letter asked parents for help.
Kandy took out the charcoal pen that he carried with him, and replaced it with a handkerchief without letter paper. He hurriedly wrote the news of the attack of the Ogre Legion, cast a magic trick to summon a raven, and tied the handkerchief to the raven leg. It delivered the letter to his father as soon as possible.
Watching the raven spread its wings and flew away, Kandy's heart also hung in the air. He hurried down the sentry tower, and Kandy saw the hordes of tribes gathering towards the city gate, all holding bows and swords. Most of the elite warriors in the tribe were taken away by Victor and Matoka, but there were only more than three hundred militiamen left in the village of Povatan. Fortunately, the Assa people have always upheld the spirit of martial arts. The women and children of the clan have received more or less military training. The elderly are mostly retired militias. Although they are less flexible than young people, they have more experience in dealing with enemy attacks.
Kandy whistled, calling the animal companion Minnie, riding a fearful claw dragon briskly, following the flow of people to gather in front of the gate.
Magni was patrolling the defensive facilities, and did not find his sister mixed in the crowd. His mind was all on the army of ogres that was quickly approaching outside the wall. When the fierce gangsters entered the range, Magni immediately ordered the launch of the crossbow gun.
The ballistas placed along the city walls are arranged in a row, and the large crossbow arrows are like sharp spears, which are fired by a powerful crossbow machine. With a piercing blast of wind blowing, the ogres rushing to the front fell down a row, bad luck was pierced by the chest, and the screams were dead.
Shrek waved his mace to swing an oncoming crossbow, and raised his hand to signal his subordinate to temporarily buffer back, and returned to the range of the city's ballista. Squinting and observing the ballistas lined up on the opposite side of the city, and after thinking about it, issued two orders in succession.
The "Ogre Warrior Regiment" Shrek has worked hard to create is not a group of reckless men who can only charge. This unit has a perfect mix of arms, including the "Ogre Siege Team" dedicated to siege. "Ogre Ballista" specializing in providing long-range firepower.
The first to be ordered to the forefront of the battlefield were fifty ogre crossbow gunners. These Shrek's carefully selected tribes have far better agility and distance than ordinary ogre, and their strength is certainly not weak. The size of the giant crossbow on the shoulder is not inferior to the ballista on the opposite wall.
Such a huge crossbow, even with the brute force of the ogres, can't pull the bow string with both arms. Fortunately, every giant crossbow made by a gnome craftsman is equipped with a device similar to the stirrup, and the ogren crossbowmen will use the giant crossbow Stand on the ground, skillfully step on the crossbow stirrup with the right foot, hold the crossbow arm with both hands, and pull up the bowstring with the help of the waist, and finally install the javelin-like crossbow, neatly completing the preparations before the firing.
"emission!"
Shrek ordered that fifty giant crossbows fire at the same time. Most of the crossbows penetrated deeply into the city wall 300 yards away. The wood chips around the arrows splashed into a large hole. The defenders at the wall were also hit and fell down on their backs.
After completing the first round of firing, the ogre ballistas uniformly lowered the ballistas, slammed the strings, reloaded the crossbows, and corrected the firing angle based on the error of the first round of crossbows.
The crossbows launched in the second round were significantly improved. Several of them crossed the city head, and the Asa militia stationed on the city wall was only wiped by the crossbows and then splattered with blood. The huge wound was shocking. . A city ballista that was erected on the wall was directly hit by the crossbows flying under the city. The ballista burst on the spot, and the surrounding crossbowmen were also injured by the splashed metal and wood fragments.
Magni's complexion almost froze, and he gestured to the tribe to take away the wounded soldiers and ask the druids to cast a cure, then ordered the city ballistic artillery to launch a counterattack.
The range of the ballistas on both sides of the attack and defense is similar, but the ballistas on the side of the city are semi-fixed on the wall and are not easy to move, and the corresponding ones are more vulnerable to snipers; in contrast, the ogren are more flexible. Immediately after completing the launch, dragged the ballista to retract to the back of the shield wall. The crossbow shot from the opposite side was blocked by the tower shields in a row, making it difficult to cause effective damage.
Shrek is very satisfied with the performance of his ballista. He didn't expect the ballistas to kill as many Asa people. The main purpose was to cause psychological deterrence to the enemy defending the city and to contain the city's ballistic artillery, to cover the "ogres siege team" and move forward.
The Shrek Warrior’s exclusive siege unit consists of the 30 strongest ogres, arranged in three columns. Twenty ogres hold huge tower shields, ten are in groups, and the remaining ten The head ogres live between the two columns of shield bearers and work together to carry a siege hammer made of a whole log. In order to enhance the destructive power of the siege hammer, the front end of the log is also connected to the giant forged steel Sheep head.
The center of the ogres shouted a uniform horn, carrying the siege hammer and striding forward, advancing across the battlefield to the gate. The ogres living on the left and right sides move forward diagonally with their shields moving forward. Two sets of shield walls form a "human" shaped barrier on top of the siege in the center, and together form a mobile tunnel.
As the ogre siege team quickly approached the gate, the Asa warriors defending the city hurriedly throwing javelins, opening bows and arrows, trying to stop them. However, the arrows and javelins were blocked by heavy tower shields, which could not kill the siegemen under close protection, or even prevent them from slowing down.
Magni frowned slightly at the sight, turned around and issued three orders in succession: all the stock of flaming glue was taken for the fortification; he called on the tribe to prepare a large amount of fat and burned it into a vat and transported it to the city; called the staying wave The green druids of Watan village assembled at the gate.
The gate of Povatan Village is made of wood, and if it is hit by a sledgehammer with a heavy mallet, it will be broken on the spot if it cannot be supported for a few times. Fortunately, Magni remembered that there were some spell scrolls in the material warehouse dedicated to strengthening the city defense. They were immediately ordered to take them to the green wild druids and ordered them to work together to strengthen the city gate.
These scrolls are 6 rings of natural magic "Vajra wood" hand-transcribed by Victor Kalinin, which can temporarily make the wood hard as steel. The Druids who stayed in the village of Pohuatan were all disciples of Victor Kalinin. They were generally young, and their cast levels were not high. They hadn’t learned the "Vajra" yet. Fortunately, they released this spell with the help of a reel. It's not difficult.
The ferocious ogres are only separated by one door, and the young green wild druids dare not delay, overcome the fear and unfold the magic scroll in their hands, focusing on the prayers praising the natural origin. The magic in the scroll was successfully guided and turned into a stream of golden light towards the city gate.
At the same time, the ogre siege team was approaching the gate with arrow rain. Ten strong ogres shouted their trumpets to push the log together, and the iron hammer of the sheep's head hit the city gate!
With a loud bang, a large area collapsed at the impact, and dense spider web-shaped cracks appeared around it.
