Chapter 317: The Camp Update

After dealing with the affairs of the mission, Todd began to gather the people of the Froststone Tribe in the soul space non-stop.

In the underground temple, Todd sat on the throne, Rachel stood to his left, Alfonso stood to his right, and the others stood in awe in the center of the temple, waiting for instructions.

Waving his hand to open a 3D projection over the temple, Todd pointed to the mountains of weapons and armor piled up in the picture and said, "In three days, there will be a convoy carrying this equipment from the Watch Fort and along the boardwalk of the Falling Star Mountains to the north. ”

Looking at these well-built and excellent equipment, the barbarian veteran warrior Fried swallowed: "Our people always lose more and win less when facing the Ulster army. When it comes to the reasons for failure, some people say that we are cowardly, while others say that we are stupid. ”

Fried looked at Todd in the upper seat, and said with an excited face: "But what they don't know is that our people have grown up in the deep mountains and dense forests, our enemies are war beasts and disasters, and death and bad luck are as commonplace as eating and drinking.

Casper, who had once belonged to the Acropolis army, whispered to himself suspiciously, "The convoy from Fort Watch?"

When he saw the coat of arms of the armor in the picture clearly, he couldn't help but gasp: "These are all the equipment of the Holy Acropolis!"

Todd lowered his hand, and the projection over the temple ended, and he said to the crowd, "At most, the convoy can only transport these weapons and armor out of the Watch Fortress, and we will have to figure out the rest of the transportation. With the snow covering the mountains these days, and the difficult journey south of the camp, do you have a way to transport these things back?"

The old shaman said to Todd with a smile: "Patriarch, it is really because of this heavy snow that the originally difficult road can be unimpeded. ”

Todd asked curiously, "It's snowing heavily, but it's good for transportation, why is that?"

Minnie explains: "After heavy snowfall, the impassable swamps freeze into frozen ground, and the potholed mountain terrain is covered with snow and becomes soft paths. In addition, those big families in the barbarian camp will more or less raise a few dogs, and as long as they make a sleigh temporarily, they can travel freely on the earth. ”

Todd suddenly dared to love that there are also three fools in this different world.

After making sure there were no problems with the transportation of equipment, Todd began to inquire about the current situation of the camp.

Ackerman, who was quick to talk, first reported on the development of the camp: "Counting the gladiators and barbarians, the number of people in the camp has exceeded seven hundred, and thanks to the food and supplies brought from the south, every family now has tents to live in, food to eat, and herbs for those who are sick. Only two buildings were started in the camp due to the cold weather and frozen ground. One is the Chief's House for organizing meetings, and the other is the Boss's residence. ”

Todd was a little surprised: "Residence? refers to that small building?"

"That's right, the drawings were given to us by Mistress Richel, and we are currently laying the foundation and finishing the timber, and I have heard that the cement and furniture will arrive in a few days, and I believe that they will be completed by the end of this year. ”

Todd glanced at the woman beside him, and Raicher pretended not to see his movements, still with a breezy expression on his face.

Casper's second report, which continued his usual reticent character: "The gladiators were training and preparing for battle, but you weren't in the camp, and it made them a little uneasy. ”

Ackerman added, "Boss, I know the gods are very busy, but it's best to come back when you have time." While there is no shortage of food and supplies at the camp, the most talked about topic every day is when you return. ”

Todd nodded, signaling that he understood, and then turned his gaze back to Fried and Minnie.

Fried bowed and said happily, "I have found someone to spread the story of the Boyle patriarch. Every day, people from far away come to Froststone Camp to join us, and if it weren't for the heavy snowfall, there would have been even more. ”

Minnie was obviously not so optimistic: "Patriarch, one thing you must know is that the land we are on cannot be used to grow crops, and it is not convenient to hunt. With the gradual increase of the population, the shortage of food and materials will become more and more scarce, how to ensure people's living needs is an extremely important premise. ”

Todd listened to the words of the two and fell into deep thought, the food in the barbarian camp was indeed a big problem.

Although there are only 700 people at the moment, at the beginning of spring next year, when the snow melts and the earth rejuvenates, there will surely be more people who will come to take refuge in the name of Boyle.

However, the food supply of the entire camp is only transported by cargo ships, which will definitely not meet the future demand, and we have to find a way to open up and increase new food sources.

Todd looked at Alfonso again, wanting to hear his report.

Unexpectedly, the latter said a sentence that frightened everyone present: "Ulster's army may launch a surprise attack on the camp." ”

Ackerman exclaimed, "Raid?!"

Todd stared into Alfonso's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Tell me your basis." ”

"Five days ago, twenty kilometers from the camp to the north, the scouts of the Ulster Kingdom were discovered for the first time, and three days ago, a large number of scouts came to a place five kilometers away, and the successor guards fought with them, and the total number of enemy troops was seventy-two, and there were no casualties on our side. But just yesterday, two more groups of scouts were in the vicinity of the camp, so I guess Ulster was planning to do something about it. ”

Ackerman shook his head and said, "I really don't understand that Concierber, Ulster and Connaught are already in a state of close fighting, and he still has the heart to attack us?!"

Todd has a little understanding of this stubborn and self-serving Ulster king, for no other reason, a series of events in the gladiatorial arena have completely hurt Concierber's self-esteem, and it is natural for the other party to retaliate at all costs.

Todd said to Alfonso: "Do you know when the other party will attack?"

Alfonso shook his head and said, "It's impossible to know. ”

The transportation of equipment, the restlessness of the camp, the source of food, and the shadow of the raid, these four things were like four mountains, pressing on Todd's heart.

Catching a glimpse of Todd's face, Rachel lowered her head and whispered a smile in his ear, "Or, you've been to the North recently?"

Todd turned his head and looked at Richel, "Could it be that you have something going on there?"

Rachel shook her head, and what she said tickled Todd's teeth: "It's all wrong with me, it's just that beautiful little lover of yours who keeps saying the name 'boyle' in her dreams. ”

"I'm not Boyle!"

"At night, blow out the candles, if you don't say it, I don't say it, who knows......"

Rachel winked mischievously at Todd.
