"What should I do? When Luna of the Optimist faction heard that the orcs might be attacking, she panicked, and as a robber, she finally managed to live a stable life: "Even Linda can only fight two." ”

Elena's expression was also a little frustrated: "If they attack at night, I can still help." If it's daytime, I'm of no use at all. ”

"It's just speculation. Alice held the table with her hands in her eyes, and her eyes were encouraging: "Friends, don't be afraid. Don't forget, we are god-favored believers, and we will not be defeated by evil, I firmly believe. ”

With a squeak, Leah pushed the door in, her expression was a little tired, and she just heard Alice's words, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Alice is right, our Black Stone Collar was not defeated twenty years ago. This time, it will definitely stand tall. However, we must not hand over all the burdens to the gods, and we must also shoulder our responsibilities on our own shoulders. ”

"Listen to me first. Leah took a deep breath and looked around at everyone: "Geographically, the Hurek Forest is the outer edge of the Black Mist Forest, and the biggest threat is the Ivor Farm by the river. ”

"I heard my great-father tell me in detail about the war twenty years ago, when orcs lived in settlements, usually between thirty and sixty people, including orcs and orc children. In each settlement, there are about ten to twenty-five orc warriors in the prime of life, depending on the size of the settlement. Of course, don't ignore the female orcs, they are also trained in combat, and some female orcs are not even inferior to orc warriors in combat ability. ”

In other words, the only ones who really can't fight are the orc children. Three orc scouts were sent at the same time, indicating that the strength of this settlement was very strong, at least more than fifty people. ”

"What about the old orcs?" said Elena, biting her lip.

"There are no old orcs!" Leah's expression was bitter: "In the orc tradition, old orcs have no value other than consuming food. After losing their combat effectiveness, they will throw themselves into the arms of the gods they believe in. ”

"The gods that the orcs believe in?"

"Yes, they believe in an evil creature, and no one knows where it is hiding. Underground, in a cave or in a swamp, no one can tell, but it is said to be a terrifying, bloated, lumpy monster that likes to devour flesh and life. ”

"Oh my God, bloated lumps, disgusting. Luna stuck out her tongue.

"It's just rumors, who knows. Of the people present, the one who knew the most about orcs was none other than Liya: "Orcs like to fight in the jungle, like to hide in the shadows to launch surprise attacks, and trees, rocks, and bushes are the best cover. ”

"And the advantage of the Knights is to gather and charge. Leah's tone was a little painful: "The Blackstone Knights are just because the mountains and forests are too dense, just like a horse with its hooves cut off, and it can only rely on the knight's own combat ability. However, this is the greatest disadvantage of our human beings. ”

"What if they attack the farmstead?" Alice's expression was very nervous, the Blackstone Knights could still fight if they were here, and now if they attacked in a big way, it was simply unrealistic to rely entirely on Linda.

"Alice, don't be nervous just yet. Leah smiled: "This is thanks to our warrior Linda, killing three people today is definitely bad news for a small orc settlement." I don't think they're going to launch a massive attack anytime soon. ”

"Of course, it's not entirely certain. So, I made a decision to recruit some able-bodied men from among the peasants, form patrols, and set up lookout posts at the Eifor Farm. Wait for the newly bought farmers to arrive, and then appropriately replenish some manpower. ”

Then, Leah turned her head to Elena, "Elena, your dark vision is important. Because orcs live in the dim jungle all year round, their vision is particularly developed, and if they fight on the plains, they usually choose dusk. So...... I want you to be stationed at the Ivor lookout post. ”

"No problem, Leah!" Elena nodded heavily, "Leave it to me!"

"There's no need to fight, Elena!" Leah shook her head, "Your dark vision can detect the enemy earlier. Timely warning, and then the serfs were organized by the patrol to immediately flee to the castle. Rest assured, they won't be stupid enough to siege the city. ”

"Well, I see!"

"And you, Linda. On the way back, Leah began to plan countermeasures, and her thinking was very clear: "You are our biggest dependence, and it is a waste to stay in the castle." So, I want you to stay with Elena, and in case of emergency, protect Elena first and return to the castle. Don't choose to fight until you are forced to do so. ”

"Yes, understood!" Linda nodded, "I will do everything in my power to protect Elena!"

Then Leah's gaze fell on Luna, "Luna, I think you should go home once." Tell your father to be on guard during this time. If, I mean, if something happens, you and your family, as well as some of your cronies, can take refuge in Blackstone Fort. Our doors are always open to you. ”

Luna's eyes were hot, and she jumped up and gave Leah a hug, "Thank you, Leah." Even though we haven't known each other for long, I've always felt that you are a very nice person. ”

"You're a good boy too. Leah patted her on the back, "Your divine power is also important. Just sent a couple of wounded, hopefully you can heal them. ”

"Wrap it around me. Luna clenched her fists.

"Thank you. Once healed, go and prepare. Bring your family some Alice candy and Luna bread, and tell them not to go to Hurek Forest to get firewood just yet. ”

"Well! I remember. Luna nodded, "Lord Leah, I have a suggestion too. ”

Liya was a little curious: "Tell me?"

"I'm sorry for the fall of the Blackstone Knights. But in our camp, there are a dozen knights, all of whom are servants of our Heimworth retainers. It's just that...... Many of them did not have war horses, and most of them rode caravanserans. You know, we're poor......"

Leah muttered, "I see what you mean, Luna. The eight horses I just purchased can be given to you, as well as some standard armor and knight's swords in the armory. ”

Leah had always been a resolute and decisive lord, and she was not worried about increasing the robbers' power. On the contrary, they are the most combat-ready people in the Blackstone Collar.

In extraordinary times, what is needed is courage.

And with Luna's bond, Sir Weimar wouldn't do anything stupid.

"Thank you, Leah. Luna was touched by her full trust, "I will ask my father to set up a cavalry patrol that can be stationed near the Ivor Farm if you have your permission." ”

"That's great!" Leah nodded, "With a knight, it's more secure." ”

"Then it's settled. ”

"Good. Leah finally gained her confidence, "Luna, if your father wants to, we can have a meeting." Perhaps, there will be better advice. ”

"No problem!"

The only one on the scene who was not assigned a task was Alice, and her expression was a little depressed. In peacetime, her metal abilities can create periods, but if there is a war, then she can only stay in the castle.

It's a bit of a bad feeling.

"Finally, Alice. Liya finally set her eyes on Alice, and the tacit understanding between the sisters made her aware of the loss in Alice's heart, and her tone was gentle: "You are the most favored believer of the gods, and the dreams of the gods and the enlightenment of the gods are our biggest hole cards!"

"Your task is also the most important. A smile appeared on Leah's lips: "They need to be prepared for possible accidents at any time, and plans can change at any time. So, I need you to get enough sleep every day, or double as much. Don't forget, you and they can meet in your dreams and send messages at any time. ”

"Of course, if there is the inspiration of the gods, that is the greatest hope. ”

"Yes!" Luna's eyes lit up, "Alice, you're in charge of sleeping!"
