Chapter 355: The army of the Barbarian Kingdom

Chapter 349 – Barbarian Kingdom’s Army

The screen shifted to the North City, the war was over, just as the Grand Shaman had predicted, the Horde Alliance had unsurprisingly lost.

There are many reasons for this, for example, the barbarian warriors are said to be warriors, but in fact have not received any military training, they are a bunch of strong and not afraid of death hunters, fighting alone or in small teams can still take advantage of some, two armies at war, the number of people will only make them fall into the confusion and blindness, most of the people in the beginning do not know where the enemy is, and what the enemy looks like, not to mention to deal with the cooperation.

Because of this knowledge, the Great Shaman chose to send out all of the tribe’s strength in one breath, because once the battle started, any command and plan would be useless.

The great shaman racked his brains before letting the barbarian old man with new recruits to the north side of the city to pull the troops, but more can not be implemented, because there is no command, no channel to convey the order, not to mention the soldiers to carry out the order, overly complex command will only create chaos, so a wave can not win, they will lose, and not even the opportunity to turn the tide.

What’s worse, because of the barbarians’ stubbornness, coupled with the shaman’s various brainless additions, allowing the barbarians to tolerate huge casualties, which is an advantage, but also a disaster, because it is either to win miserably or suffer huge casualties due to the deadly battle, there is no other possibilities, even the great shaman can’t pull the barbarian warriors who have blood on their heads back.

Not only did a large number of barbarian warriors die in this battle, but they also lost a lot of food and supplies, because the Great Shaman tipped them off, and the witch on the flying broom easily burned most of the provisions, which the Great Shaman had prepared to convince the others.

Under these circumstances, the short-lived tribal alliance was undoubtedly in a desperate situation, so the Great Shaman took the opportunity to offer to take the remaining men to join the powerful barbarian tribe nearby, the Bison Tribe.

The other shamans who sensed the Grand Shaman’s intention were silent, no one wanted to join a strange tribe, but they were equally aware that the tribe was already on the border of life and death, one wrong step and the tribe would perish.

After some discussion, most of the tribes decided to follow the big shaman to join the bison tribe, and some tribes chose to continue south, the two sides parted ways peacefully.

On the way to the Bison Tribe, the Great Shaman’s heart has mixed feelings, although he knows that this battle is not his fault, but there is always a sense of guilt, I just hope that his decision this time is not wrong.

In fact, the great shaman heart very understand, the wild ox tribe must have problems, but it is always a barbarian tribe, it is better than joining the north city that just still fights and kills.

As for continuing south, not to mention how much benefit can be gained by losing so many warriors, the barbarian kingdom alone is a threat that is not inferior to the imperial border army.

Yes, in the Great Shaman’s heart, the barbarian kingdom is also a threat, not that they abandon the tradition to form a kingdom, in fact, if possible, the Great Shaman would like to turn the tribal alliance into a more powerful kingdom, but because of the premonition.

As one of the few remaining Grand Shamans of the Northland Barbarians, the Grand Shaman had a premonition of foreboding long before the arrival of the Snowstorm.

At first, because of the premonition that the danger came from the north, the Great Shaman thought that it was the next cold snap that would come down the northern mountains and cause disaster to the survival of all living things.

But after crossing the river, he was surprised to find that the direction of the threat had been deflected, and that the unsettling was moving south.

This aroused the alarm of the great shaman, hence the scene of the formation of the tribal alliance to attack the northern city, because he wanted to avoid the threat, and by capturing the northern city, the tribal alliance would be able to gain enough harvest to return to their original territory for the winter.

Unfortunately, the Great Shaman underestimated the strength of North City, and by the time he realized something was wrong, he was already powerless.

Of course, Owen would not reject the tribal alliance joining the Bison Tribe, but this also brought a new problem.

As a sub-city, the Bison Tribe’s population limit was only 10,000, while there were already thousands of people, plus more than 10,000 Northland barbarians, it was obvious that the population exceeded the limit, and could not be converted at all.

However, the solution was also very simple, directly upgrading the town center could be done, anyway, the Authority Space was about to complete its evolution, and the demand for progress values was drastically reduced, Owen had the spare capacity to run down the territory. In fact, the town center can only be upgraded to the fifth level, but there is nothing that cannot be solved by the progress value, if there is, then the progress value is not enough, so Owen hardened the town center to the sixth level, the population ceiling reached one million, with ten sub-city quotas, each with a population ceiling of 50,000 people, adding up to one and a half million people, not to mention in the Northland, even in the empire is also the top of the traditional aristocracy.

Unfortunately, the population is not that easy to increase, especially if there is no external supplement, after absorbing the stragglers caused by the barbarians’ southward movement, the population of the territory has only increased by a small amount, and there is still a long way to go before it reaches 200,000 people.

Maya will arrange for this, Owen’s main focus now is to collect corpses.

Although he only guessed that the undead demigods sealed in the north would break the seal, Owen would not gamble on it, not to mention that the accumulation of a large number of corpses was a hazard in itself, and the space of authority in the evolutionary stage also needed these corpses, so it was rare for him to make a move.

Not only the tens of thousands of corpses in the north city, Owen also collected a large number of corpses in the north land silently through the flying broom and other means, without realizing how much trouble his behavior brought to some people.

But even if he knew, Owen wouldn’t care.

“Have you already searched for the Barbarian Kingdom’s army?” Owen, who hurriedly arrived, wiped off the snowflakes on his body and said to Maya.

“Well, it’s been tracked for a while, but because the other side has flying units, all there are only remote images taken by the One-Eyed Giant Eagle.” Maya tapped on the projection and zoomed in on the focus that needed attention.

“Initial estimation, the number of Barbarian Kingdom’s army is between 170,000 to 190,000 people, because there are a large number of manpower scattered out to plunder, it is not possible to do a more accurate estimation, now it is probed that 90,000 to 100,000 of them are the main soldiers, equipped with heavy armor and iron weaponry, and the rest are the auxiliary soldiers.”

Through the enlarged image, Owen was able to see that the barbarian kingdom’s warriors were much stronger and tougher, the main body was the barbarian warriors equipped with heavy armor and huge blades, although it was just iron sheets nailed to thick leather and the weapons were more like cast iron, but the killing power was increased not by a little bit, if all of the barbarian warriors who attacked the north city before were equipped with this kind of equipment, the loss would have been more than doubled.

Moreover, these barbarian warriors are real soldiers, not only have they received training, they also know how to cooperate and march, the threat they pose is far from being comparable to tribal warriors.

In addition, Owen also saw other races in the barbarian army, such as the very rare frost giants and dragons.

In this world, there are dragons, naturally there are giants, but they are rare in the empire, and have been oohed and aahed by the adventurers.

Frost giants are known as the shame of giants, not only are they shorter and weaker than other giants, but mainly because they are too cunning and do not have the simplicity of giants.

But this does not affect the strength of the frost giants, because the frost giants living in the cold zone are born with the ability to manipulate ice, and can attack from afar and can fight in close combat, coupled with the ice system’s ability to control the field, said that the giants, rather than the oversized ice mage.

Dragons are not inferior, half-human, half-dragon dragons not only have a good magic resistance scale armor, there are sharp claws and teeth and wings, in addition to the lack of dragon horns, resulting in the head looks like a lizard, said that the small size of the dragon can be.

Most of the dragons don’t have the ability to cast spells, but they have weak melee ability, plus they can fly, so they are very difficult to deal with.

Although from the color point of view, these dragons belonged to the weakest white dragon lineage, acting as flying soldiers was enough, at least against, Owen did not dare to easily send out flying broom witches, even the one-eyed giant eagle in charge of surveillance, also on the basis of the other party was not familiar with.
