Zhenbei City, Lord's Castle.

Su Lun, who had just finished his special training, was soaking in the hot spring, and Anna and Angela were wearing a translucent tulle to help him scrub his body, surrounded by water vapor in the hot spring, and the white skin of the two maids was like beautiful jade looming under the tulle. If you stick to water, it is no different from a transparent one.

After soaking in the hot springs, Su Lun returned to the study in a fine linen robe and began to deal with government affairs, at this time there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.

It's already afternoon at this time, and it's time for the Consulate to get off work, and under normal circumstances, everyone will report the situation at this point in time, let alone want Su Lun to report, if someone comes at this time, then there is a chance that something big has happened.

"Come in!" said Suren as he put down his papers.

An attendant pushed the door out, and said eagerly, "Your Excellency, the beacon has reported that a large army is coming from the northeast." ”

Su Lun's face changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "How many people are there, and how far are they from the territory?"

"The specific news was reported to us by an adventurer, and after our patrol found out that he was being chased by the wolf cavalry, and then rescued him, they told us the news, and when they sent someone back to report, they also arranged for people to investigate, and I believe that more complete information will come back soon. ”

"What about the adventurer?" asked Suren.

"Wait in the chamber of the Lord's Palace. ”

"Bring him here!"

"Yes!"

After about a few minutes, Su Lun saw the adventurer in the study, this adventurer looked very embarrassed, with blood marks hanging on his face and arms, many torn armor, and several bandaged wounds on his body, and traces of blood oozing from it.

Su Lun looked at him for a moment and said to the attendant next to him, "Give him a stool." ”

"My lord, please save my companions, who are likely to be hunted by the orcs right now. The adventurer said eagerly.

"Don't worry, there's already a patrol to the rescue, if they're still alive? Will definitely save people. Now you talk about what you see. ”

"How many orcs are there? How far is it from here?"

Next, the adventurer carefully recounted what he knew. After hearing that the enemy is not only orcs, but also gnolls and trolls? Su Lun's face was a little solemn, and the number of troops was more than 30,000? It made Su Lun's brows furrow.

"Start the war mobilization immediately!" Su Lun said immediately after listening to the adventurer's information? "The army immediately went on alert? All leave was cancelled, and all soldiers, except for the sick and wounded, were returned. ”

"Inform Centaur City and let those people immediately move to Zhenbei City and Mirror Lake City? Centaur City is temporarily abandoned. ”

"Inform all citizens? There were also adventurers in the caravan, and the city north of the town was put under martial law, all the city gates were closed, and all the serfs and displaced people working outside the city were withdrawn to the city. ”

"Harvest the grain that is about to be harvested, and destroy everything that you can't harvest? Not a grain of grain can be left for the enemy!"

"Issue a war mobilization order, and the Consulate will immediately go back to work? Let them assist the security forces in maintaining law and order in the city, and let them organize a logistics team to be responsible for distributing food and supplies. ”

"Give orders to the vigilantes? All people do not have tokens issued by the town hall and the army, forbidden to go to the streets? Violators are immediately arrested and interrogated? Dare to take the opportunity to smash and rob? Those who take the opportunity to make trouble are allowed to be killed directly!"

A series of orders were issued, the city north of the town immediately entered a state of combat readiness, the market began to close, the taverns were closed, the outcasts and serfs outside the city also returned to the city, those goblins, kobolds, gnolls, orc slaves were all imprisoned, the rapid bell rang, everyone knew when they heard the bell, the war was coming.

The army started to act at the first time, and all the troops sent out to maintain the security of the territory and expel the bandit monsters were all recalled, and at the same time, Suren also temporarily recruited some soldiers from the centaurs and half-elves, which was the agreement they signed when they joined Zhenbei City before.

After arranging these things, Su Lun came to the Ordnance Bureau, after this period of busyness, after adopting the assembly line production method, the Ordnance Bureau produced a total of five hundred crossbow machines, and now all these crossbow machines need to be equipped with the army, in addition, all kinds of war materials in the north of the town have also begun to be moved out of the warehouse.

Bundles of arrows, weapons and armor, rolling wood, stone and oil, Hathaway and Chrissy who got the news also came to help, Karina and Grace have gone back to recruit people, Alex originally wanted to bring the Harpy from Eagle Castle as well, but Suren asked her to wait first, and it is not a good chess player to show all the hole cards at once.

The location of the Eagle Castle is very hidden, and the three thousand Harpy Banshees are also a wonder army, and if they are used well, they can directly turn the tide of the battle. He didn't want to be exposed right now.

Many of the caravans that came to trade chose to leave directly before the enemy came, of course, there were also some caravans who expressed their willingness to defend against foreign enemies together with Zhenbei City, and there were many adventurers in the city who also asked to join, for these people Su Lun sent people to carry out a simple reorganization of them, he did not expect these people to go to the battlefield, but just let them follow the security army to maintain order.

The next morning, the centaur came to Zhenbei City with a large number of supplies, the little mare Misheen came to the school with four hundred centaurs, after passing the news yesterday afternoon, Misheen asked the centaur to pack up at the first time, fortunately, the centaur belongs to the nomadic tribe, it is easy to evacuate, it only took one night to prepare everything, and the next day before dawn left the centaur city to go to the north of the town.

"Your Excellency Suren, I'm here. After seeing Suren, the little mare Misheen's eyes lit up, and she naturally stepped forward and gave him a hug. I have to say that the physical talent of the centaur is really good.

"You've just arrived, your equipment is ready, now I'll take you to get it. Looking at the enthusiastic little mare Suren said with a smile.

"This time you centaurs need to fight outside the city, as cavalry can not be trapped in the city, your task is to harass the enemy army, and cooperate with us during the battle, and someone will contact you when the specific action comes. Suren said as he walked.

"Understood. The little mare nodded.

Zhenbei City now has less than a thousand cavalry, all of them are centaurs, if the centaur cavalry has 5,000, no, 3,000 people, he will directly set up a camp outside the city, so that the camp and the city form a horn trend, no matter which side the next army attacks, Zhenbei City can easily deal with it.

Now there are less than a thousand people here, and if such a small cavalry can't withstand the camp, Su Lun will simply let them harass outside the city, and suddenly attack at a critical moment.

"It's your equipment. "Bringing people to a warehouse, Su Lun pointed to these weapons and armor in front of him, centaur weapons are generally self-prepared, they are good at centaur longbows, Su Lun here prepared for them to be inlaid with iron armor, chain mail, spears and spears, it should be to harass more needs to be mobility, so there is no heavy iron armor prepared.

Seeing a warehouse full of equipment, the little mare closed her mouth in surprise, and immediately arranged for someone to start distributing equipment after reacting.

After arranging the centaurs, Suren left directly, and soon a herald arrived in a hurry and handed the latest information to Suren.

Taking the leather tube, Su Lun took out the information inside, and quickly browsed it, the information on it was the information about the enemy transmitted back by the scouts, after investigation, the enemy's strength finally had a clear understanding, and the previous 30,000 people were different, this time the orcs, jackals, and trolls gathered a total of 40,000 troops.

Among them are trolls, wolf cavalry, air cavalry, high-level jackals, orcs, powerful, the scouts even found some rudimentary siege equipment, at this time this army is still sixty miles away from the north of the city, which can be reached by a charge of wolf cavalry.

The battle came faster than Suren had expected, and in the afternoon the first wolf cavalry appeared outside the city, running around the city, roaring and sometimes making deliberately ferocious gestures. This is a psychological tactic of theirs, and if they encounter a timid soldier, they are likely to be frightened and their limbs will weaken, but this time their calculation is wrong.

The vast majority of people in Zhenbei City are professional soldiers, and all the soldiers have experienced a lot of vicious battles, and the posture of these wolf cavalry is completely useless.

"Tell Misheen to take someone to clean up these barking dogs outside, it's too noisy!" said Suren with a blank face.

Soon the military order was issued, and the eight hundred centaur cavalry were quickly ready to go, and just when the wolf cavalry was demonstrating in groups, they were surprised that the city gate suddenly opened, and just when they thought that the enemy inside was preparing to surrender, a sound of horses' hooves like thunder suddenly sounded.

"It's not good, it's the cavalry, the whole team, the whole team!" After the wolf cavalry led by the leader heard the voice, he instantly shook his spirit, they knew very well that the duel between the cavalry, in the current state of the wolf cavalry scattered, it was a complete slaughter against those cavalry.

The centaur cavalry did not give the wolf cavalry a chance to organize the team at all, and as soon as the eight hundred centaur cavalry left the city, they rushed towards the wolf cavalry who were gathering, and the centaur who rode ** Tong immediately bent their bows and arrows after entering the firing range.

A wave of arrow rain directly shot a large number of wolf cavalry, the distance between the two sides was very short, only three rounds of shooting, the two sides began to fight each other, but at this time the lead centaur whistle, a stunned scene appeared, all the centaurs instantly turned their horses' heads, completed the turn in a state of extreme speed, and at the same time shot a wave of arrow rain again.
