The next day, at sunrise, the orcs attacked again.

It was not much different from the previous morning, and after once again dropping thousands of corpses, he retreated.

The same is true in the afternoon.

Seeing that Malone was a little worried, John comforted: "Actually, this is good for us, not to mention the reduction of casualties among soldiers, in the past two days, we have added dozens of knights." ”

Marlon naturally knows this, and the experience given by killing orcs is much more than that of barbarians.

In addition, the lord's attribute is promoted from earl to marquis, and the experience bonus is forty percent, and the warriors gain more experience, and their strength naturally increases quickly.

Not only ordinary soldiers, but also those who have become knights, have a small increase in strength.

Even Malone himself, relying on the commission, the experience bar rushed out a little bit to the front.

But the many benefits did not relieve the worries in his heart.

Unlike John and others, as the helmsman of a force, he not only needs to consider the superficial interests, but also has to see the hidden connotation behind it and figure out the purpose of the orcs.

For several days on end, the orcs continued to attack like this......

Castle Lord's Mansion.

Several people sat around the conference table.

"The orcs are coming for reinforcements!" Wood smoked a cigarette, swallowed the mist, and frowned: "They have been dying in the past few days, losing at least tens of thousands of troops, but the number has not decreased at all. ”

Malone didn't expect Wood to smoke.

There are not many smokers in the kingdom, and after coming to this world for so many years, he can count them on two hands, and most of them are dwarves.

Tobacco has not been able to form an industry, and the people who smoke are basically self-produced and sold.

Just like Ma Long's grandfather, the tobacco he smoked was home-grown.

Several people were already in a bad mood, and they were even more irritable when they were smoked by this second-hand smoke.

Marlon looked at the others, all frowning, and didn't know if he was worried about the war with the orcs, or if he was simply smoked?

Or maybe both!

The unbearable Marlon opened his mouth and exhaled, and a stream of air erupted, and the smoke rolled back.

Wood noticed the change in smoke, and then noticed the impatience of everyone, quickly extinguished the cigarette stick, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't usually smoke, but I'm not upset now......"

"Understanding ......"

Seeing that he had extinguished the fireworks, the crowd was no longer entangled.

Wood threw a grateful look at Malone.

This is...... Thank you for reminding him that he didn't continue to offend people?

"The orcs are trying to drain our forces!" The City Lord of Philadelphia spoke, interrupting Ma Long's thoughts.

"Why?" Wood slammed the cigarette stick, and as for the table, "Why are they doing this?" You must know that they have consumed nearly 20,000 troops here, and if they attack with all their strength at the beginning, although the casualties are not small, I believe that there are not so many. ”

"Could it be that the other commander's mistake didn't come to mind?" Mammon asked.

Wood sneered, "Never pin your victory on the enemy's mistakes!" ”

"Maybe they want to capture us alive?" Marlon didn't want to say that there were wizards among the orcs, probably for himself. I put it another way.

As soon as the words came out, he seemed to have opened his mind, "If the other party attacks with all his strength, we will definitely break through when we see that we can't defend it." ”

Wood's eyes lit up, and he answered: "If the other party's purpose is really to catch us, then this is understandable......

"Wait......" Fei Lun interrupted, "What are the orcs doing with us?" ”

"We don't know about orcs, and likewise, they don't know about us. Think about it from another perspective, if it is possible to capture the commander of the opponent's tens of thousands of troops, do you think we will be tempted? "It was the Archbishop of Nottington who spoke out, and as soon as he spoke, he was to the point.

Several people glanced at each other and nodded, which was regarded as an endorsement of this statement.

Ma Long also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally turned his personal affairs into everyone's affairs.

Next, we can lead everyone to discuss in this direction in a bright and bright way.

"Ahem......" he coughed lightly and threw out the next question: "Why don't the orcs just surround us, and we must be sent to death like this?"

"We are now equivalent to a lonely city, with limited supplies, as long as we are fenced off and play with eggs sooner or later, why do they want to send them to death in batches.

"Even if we are afraid that we will fight to the death, under normal circumstances, we should not do this, in order to capture us commanders, they have died so many soldiers, it is obviously not worth it."

Several people looked at each other, and this was indeed a problem.

Just for a few human commanders, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded, is it really worth it?

The crowd's brows furrowed again.

"Whether it's worth it or not, it depends on the person. It's not worth it in our eyes, maybe the orc commanders think it's worth it, maybe they have too many soldiers to use up? Mammon grumbled.

"Wait......"

Marlon and Wood made a gesture at the same time, telling everyone to stop talking.

Mammon's complaining words just now made their minds shine.

The two of them looked at each other, both looking at Mammon, "Can you say that again?" ”

“……”

Mammon was helpless and a little expectant, the two seemed to have discovered something from their words?

He repeated what he had just said.

Although it is not word for word, the general meaning is the same.

"Yes!"

With a faster brain transfer speed, Malone finally figured it out before Wood.

"Orcs are all about consumption. While consuming us, they are consuming themselves. ”

Wood, who bowed his head in contemplation, suddenly raised his head, "That's right, think about why the other party is waging war against us?" The result is the answer! ”

"Why the war?" Nordington sorted out his thoughts and said: "We have no grudges with the orcs in the past, and we have no enmity in the near future, and they are at war with us for the natural resources of the land. ”

Ma Long also said: "There may be an overpopulation among the orcs, they are diverting internal contradictions, and at the same time consuming their own bloated population. ”

Fei Lun disagreed with the statements of several people: "These are just speculations, and there is no definite evidence to prove them. ”

"Even if it's a guess, it's a well-founded guess, and the current performance of the orcs gives us such a direction......"

Everyone thinks differently, and one reason doesn't convince everyone.

They have different sources and different ways of thinking, and the results they get are also very different.

At least Malone can convince himself to settle down for the time being.

Although he felt that the orcs were consuming themselves, they were also influenced by the wizards, and under the influence of various factors, the current favorable situation was formed.

But human beings can't relax, if they show obvious flaws, I believe that the other party will not give up the opportunity to get it.

Not much changed in the days that followed.

The orcs attacked every day, leaving hundreds and thousands of corpses behind.

They were not eager to capture Los Angeles, and they had the confidence to do so after seizing a large number of human nobles in the castle to the south.
