Chapter 178: Chapter 178: The Crazy North Trolls

In the Darkness, some creatures that looked enormous were rapidly heading this way.

At the same time, the human and Beastman alliance also launched an attack on those creatures taller than two and a half meters. In the darkness, brutal combat erupted instantly, escalating to an intense level.

"Enemy attack, it’s an enemy attack." Suddenly, shouts rang out, and one alarm bell after another clanged.

On the Northern Plateau, soldiers stationed here got up, looking far toward the very front of the battlefield.

"What are you doing?" A soldier was held back by his comrade and turned around, angry.

"What are you going to do, you’re no longer just a regular soldier, are you still going to charge forward? For us here, the loss of each one is less one of us," his comrade looked at him somewhat annoyed.

"We are soldiers, aren’t we cowards if we don’t charge forward when it’s time to fight?"

"The commander had already ordered us not to charge forward rashly. Things are different now; we don’t need to risk our lives yet. Besides, with our frail bodies, what can we do if we go? It’s better to command well."

That was true, they hadn’t chosen their Profession yet, hadn’t started Cultivating.

Although they had always been searching for the Profession Tower, whether due to bad luck or something else, they had not found it.

As a result, they were merely ordinary people, but those soldiers at the front lines, be they human or Beastman, the weakest among them wasn’t worse than them, not to mention the regular army made up of Black Iron Level.

Although the bronze level troops had not yet formed on a large scale, the buildings for the troops were already there.

The human Cavalry waiting in the rear were of the bronze level, ready to move at any moment.

At that time, Li Mingshu stepped forward, and the others saluted him.

"What are all of you doing? We arrived with over two thousand people, and now fewer than seven hundred remains. Although it’s commendable that you all want to join the fight, I understand, but you also need to consider the situation."

"We have created more types of troops now, with stronger strengths. We need to unleash our real capability, which is Commanding. Of course, the training you provide them regularly contributes significantly to that."

True, these soldiers had also trained the manufactured troops.

Since these troops were manufactured, they were easier to train. However, the Beastman troops gave them headaches—being undisciplined and scattered, making them harder to train.

This was why they had recently shifted their development focus onto human troops.

After training, the troops could display at least twice their original combat power. Unfortunately, they lacked Heroic Units, which could have made their strength even greater.

In the Darkness, they could hardly see anything, occasionally hearing ghastly screams.

The various defensive measures they had made earlier were now proving crucial.

"Are these Trolls mad?" It was clearly noticeable that the Trolls were suffering greater losses, but they persisted in their attacks. Seeing this continue, their own defensive fortifications might not hold much longer.

"They must have run out of food, otherwise, they wouldn’t act like this."

Wang Peng pointed toward a corner, saying, "Those Trolls, they really eat anything, even their own kind."

Everyone looked over and, after careful observation, realized just how insane those Trolls were. The enemies they killed became their food, as did their deceased kin.

No matter who died, their food problems were solved. That was the real reason behind their madness.

Similarly, this was what made the Trolls so horrifying.

Once the Trolls were injured, they could recover at an incredibly fast rate, their wounds not bleeding excessively. Even though they were not manufactured troops, they were still very troublesome.

To kill a Troll, their heads had to be smashed or they had to be cut in half.

The battle lasted all night until daylight, and nobody had any rest.

Looking at the crumbling walls, everyone’s faces were grim. Because these three-layered walls were their last line of defense. The first layer of the wall was about to be destroyed now.

"Last night, we suffered a loss of twenty thousand in military strength, and the losses of the Trolls are currently uncountable."

"Alright, I understand, if this continues, it will really be difficult to hold them off."

Over such a long time, their total military strength was also only about two hundred thousand. There was no helping it, although everyone had been building up their strength, they were also continually depleting it.

Especially after entering winter, they dared not rashly increase their forces, otherwise, there wasn’t enough food.

Yet, without sufficient numbers, they were no match for their opponent.

"Report, we’ve investigated clearly, the Trolls gathered in the forest have exceeded three hundred thousand and are still increasing. It is expected that in ten more days, it will exceed half a million."

Ten days, perhaps not even that long, Li Mingshu thought, lowering his head. Data was just data, but the reality was that with the arrival of winter, the Trolls without food would keep gathering, increasing exponentially.

"Don’t worry, commander, we will definitely hold off those Trolls. We are currently in a defensive state, and without more than five times our forces, they won’t win."

Li Mingshu rolled his eyes, was fighting calculated this way.

"What about our city defense weapons, how many do we have, is it enough? Besides, are the Trolls really incapable of long-range attacks? We have no advantage when the time comes." After all, such low walls indeed had hardly any advantage.

Those Trolls were tall, whittling wood into sharp spears and throwing them, their range no worse than their bows and arrows.

Moreover, the impact of these objects could easily cause great damage to their walls.

If they kept fighting this way, it wouldn’t be long before it became a frontal engagement. Notably, the stronger Trolls hadn’t made their move yet and once they did, the consequences were imaginable.

"Report, the Trolls are attacking again, this time with over fifty thousand in strength."

Just as everyone was pondering, suddenly the front line’s military information forced them to stop. Standing high on the Observation Tower, watching the endless Trolls surging forward.

This time was different from before; some Trolls carried huge wooden rams, others held Wooden Spears, showing more planning than previously.

It was unclear if it was because it was daytime or if higher-level Trolls were now directing them. In any case, this battle was not going to be easy. "Send the orders, follow the previous drills, and hold them off for me." In this urgent situation, Li Mingshu could only issue such an order.
