Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: To The Trenches at 4.7 against Warlords Conquest's 4.1. To The Trenches also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Warlords Conquest's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. To The Trenches sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Warlords Conquest sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
To The Trenches holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1.
