Wood spoke, but Mammon thought she was having auditory hallucinations, was it really as she had hoped, these were just a few, elites? There's always a sense of unreality.

Unfortunately, Wood's next words shattered his illusions, "This is just the most ordinary orc infantry, and there are some other guys wearing full body armor, which are even more powerful, and there are cavalry among the orcs." ”

Now Mammon can understand the difficulties of Wood and the others, and it is indeed an unwise choice to fight such an enemy in the wild.

Humans can only rely on the advantage of the city wall to defend, and they know why they have prepared so many city defense crossbows.

With the thickness of the opponent's skin and flesh, the arrows shot by ordinary soldiers may not have much effect.

Mammon knew he had made a mistake, and as a member of the royal family, he was anxious to see that the kingdom had less and less land to control.

His face couldn't help but change for a while, he gritted his teeth in confusion, and apologized to a few people: "I'm sorry, I didn't understand the situation and lost my temper indiscriminately......"

Mammon apologizes, and several people are a little surprised. Wood, in particular, and others were a little at a loss.

The other party is a member of the royal family, with a noble status, and now that he apologizes to himself, he is a little uncomfortable, "It's nothing...... I also have ......"

Only Nordington, who knew Wood well enough, smiled slightly, as if he had expected it, and said nothing.

Mammon actually didn't want to apologize, whether it was from the status of the royal family or his position as a superintendent of the army, he shouldn't have apologized to Wood and the others, if there was no Marlon.

The kingdom is now in turmoil, and the royal family has also lost a lot of strength after the change of thrones in previous years, and now it urgently needs the support of the Blackstone Collar.

After Malone rose to power, the royal family had a comprehensive understanding of him, what kind of character he was, Mammon didn't say it clearly, but also knew a rough idea.

If he doesn't apologize, he is worried that it will make Ma Long have a bad image of the royal family, and such a loss is not comparable to his own face......

Once the contradiction is resolved, the rest of the business will be easy to handle.

It was getting late, and after having dinner with a few people in the City Lord's Mansion, Ma Long refused Fei Lun's retention and resolutely returned to the military camp arranged for him.

They say they are barracks, but they are actually just vacant houses.

The orcs plundered, and those who had the intention to flee and those who had the ability to run ran away, leaving a large number of vacant houses, which were rectified and rectified, and used as military camps.

"Lord Marquis, this is it." Under the guidance of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, Ma Long came to Dongcheng District.

In fact, there was no need for the guards to speak, Malone also understood that it was there, and he saw the Blackstone Collar soldiers patrolling the intersection.

"Thank you, go back. Thank you to the Lord of Ferenc for me! ”

"It's my pleasure to serve you!"

The guard bowed and slowly retreated, and after a dozen steps, he turned to leave.

"Your Excellency, your lordship, are back."

"Coming back, John, where are they?"

The patrol leader beckoned to one of his team members, "My lord, let him take you there." ”

"Okay!" Malone nodded in agreement.

Following the soldiers, Malone turned two streets, and the front suddenly became lively.

"Lord Lord......"

"Paladin-sama!"

The people along the way, when they saw Ma Long coming, they all stopped their movements and saluted and said hello.

The patrolman pointed to a courtyard in front of him and said, "This is it." "There were also two guards at the gate of the courtyard, and the patrols around were obviously denser.

Nodding, Marlon walked inside, and at the same time ordered: "You go back and get busy, thank you." ”

"My pleasure!"

……

"Malone, you're back."

"Let's go, say inside."

Entering the main building, it has been decorated as a conference room.

Marlon sat down on the chair, and everyone sat down one after another.

Looking around, Marlon asked directly: "How is it, how do you feel when you see an orc for the first time?" ”

As soon as Ma Long's question was raised, the room suddenly fell silent, and everyone couldn't help frowning, feeling deeply troubled.

In the end, it was John who spoke first, "Although I haven't seen the other party do it with my own eyes, but with its size, we have no army to match them except for the Knights. ”

Steck also said: "I secretly used a telescope to observe the number of orcs in that camp, and based on various data, it should be about fifteen thousand. ”

"Fifteen thousand? That is to say, after fighting for so long, the opponent lost 5,000 people. ”

"It's good to have five thousand people, and you don't want to see what the strength of the orcs is?"

"Wait......" Malone looked at Steck and said, "How many binoculars do we have?" ”

"Seven or eight!" Steck replied, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing!" Ma Long said casually: "Send two to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow." ”

Steck was surprised: "This thing was given to them, in case it ...... in the future"

Malone waved his hand and interrupted Steck's unfinished words, "There's no need to dwell on this at this time, let's not talk about whether we will really face up to other people one day, now if one is not careful, the human race will perish, this is the big thing, let the others go first." ”

Seeing that a few people were still unwilling, Ma Long explained: "You don't seem to have taken this war seriously, this is not a war with the barbarians. Fighting the barbarians, even if you lose, is at most a county land.

"This war with the orcs, if we lose, it will be the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, and the entire human society may not exist ......"

"Is it so serious?"

Several people listened to what Ma Long said, and they were a little incredulous, although Ma Long had always said it very seriously, but he had never said it.

"Don't believe it, today is the tip of the iceberg of the orcs, not too many, just 100,000 patrols, what can we humans resist?" Malone asked rhetorically.

Everyone stopped talking, and they all fell into deep thought, and the forces of several parties were simulated in their minds, and the final result was not optimistic.

"Isn't there a chance at all?" John asked.

"Yes, why not?" Malone also just wants to put pressure on everyone, but not to make them despair.

"As I said before, if the orcs had an army of 100,000, then we wouldn't have to fight, but obviously they don't have that many troops right now, maybe because of something, or maybe something else.

"Anyway, whatever it doesn't take them out with a big army, but this is our chance."

"But ......," Steck asked, somewhat uncertainly, "it seems ...... to pin your fate on the enemy."

He didn't finish his next words, but everyone understood the meaning, and couldn't help but look at Ma Long, hoping that he could have a better explanation.

Not disappointing everyone, Malone spoke: "So I arranged for Malf to relocate the refugees. The development speed of the Blackstone Territory is much faster than other places, not to mention anything else, just think about our knight cultivation ability, if there is enough population, we may still have a chance. ”
