Chapter Fifty-Seven: Planning Ahead
Theron looked around, and the Shadow Wolf as well.
This was the second orc he had ever seen so closely, and unlike Orima, although he was sensible and intelligent, he still couldn't avoid the impulse in the black orc's bones, even if he could restrain it. But this werewolf is different, he doesn't talk much, and at the same time he is very calm, like a poisonous snake in the shadows, you may not see him, but he keeps staring at you, and when he speaks, you are finished.
The shadow wolf knew that Theron was watching him, and the werewolf's strong instincts were sensitive to this kind of gaze, but he didn't care, in his opinion, if there was no accident, after the capture of the White Bear Tribe, this human would not live long, and the orcs did not have a tradition of treating captives preferentially.
Although it was chaotic, under the explanation of Shadow Wolf, his subordinates still quickly gathered their troops. Shadow Wolf's subordinates are all tough werewolves, and like Shadow Wolf, they are also werewolves with silver fur.
Thousands of powerful orcs lined up, and what they faced was the feeling of bloodthirsty killing, the roar of the green skin, the roar; The high-pitched screams of the gnolls, with a unique rhythm; And the werewolf who did not say a word, was silent and quiet.
This is the army of the orcs, although it is chaotic, but it is also the army that has devoured the entire north of the Purple Gold Empire, and the strong breath makes Theron's breath stagnate, but then there is longing, he looks at these orcs longingly, and he strongly wants to take them for himself.
The gates of Carlin City were opened, and the Shadow Wolf was the first to step out, riding on one wolf after another, followed by his werewolf men, each of whom rode on one wolf at a time.
Theron struggled to follow, and Shadow Wolf didn't give him more care, as if he didn't exist. At this time, the shadow wolf asked his subordinates to send him a white wolf, which, like the seat wolf, is also one of the mounts of the orcs, but the white wolf's size is only suitable for the short goblins and gnolls. The orcs don't have horses, and they don't like the docile animals like horses, so even if they are captured, they are all killed by the orcs for meat.
The white wolf's ferocious habits do not allow others to ride on them casually, and when they see Theron coming, they pounce fiercely. The orcs on one side laughed, not thinking of coming over to help.
Theron dodged the bite and pounce of the white wolf, and when he saw the shadow wolf leave with his troops without stopping, it seemed as if he was not there. With red eyes, he pulled out the dagger from his waist.
He does not allow others to look down on him, absolutely not.
"Whew......" Theron rolled under the white wolf, slashed at the white wolf's ribs, a huge wound, blood cracked, Theron got up with blood on his hands, and turned around to kill the white wolf.
But instead of pounced again, as he thought, the white wolf lowered his head and licked his wounds, then walked over with his tail hanging down, poked his head out and licked his blood-stained hands.
"He's yours, human." The werewolf who gave him the white wolf laughed, then turned over and rode a group of wolves and chased after the troops.
He somewhat understood, I'm afraid that every orc who can ride on a mount will have to go through this round, these mounts are not like docile war horses, they need to recognize their masters, and if the masters are not strong enough, they will directly kill them.
Theron came to his senses, put the dagger that had been licked clean by the white wolf back into his waist, and turned over and rode on the wolf's back. He looked down to see that the wound he had just cut was no longer bleeding at this time, Theron relieved himself and let out a loud shout, and the white wolf stepped forward and galloped towards the troops.
The orc's force stretched for 2 miles, and Theron rode on the white wolf's Theron, and quickly caught up, driving the white wolf to the shadow wolf's side.
The Shadow Wolf glanced over his head and didn't speak, then turned around and yelled, "Speed up." ”
…………………..
Bull Town.
The caravan of the Rose family was already loaded with goods and rushed back to the south, but Engels paid for a house in the town of Bull to use as the stronghold of the Rose family in the town of Bul, and Engels left with the caravan after leaving behind a few guards and two stewards.
But the noisy town of Bull did not quiet down because of the departure of the caravan, but became more noisy and noisy.
"Will, how many outcasts are there now?" Qin Feng stood beside the bed, looking out of the city, although the towering city walls blocked his view, he could still hear the noisy voices outside the city and countryside.
"Young master, I have counted, there are now more than 5,000 displaced people outside the city, most of them are men, and there are fewer women, children and the elderly," Will added worriedly after speaking: "There are still a lot of displaced people who continue to come, and the weather outside the city is getting colder and colder, many displaced people want to live in the city, and the soldiers patrolling last night caught a lot of displaced people sneaking into the city." ”
"Baron, you can't let the outcasts in," said Shirina at this time, "the sudden influx of outcasts will definitely make the law and order in the city extremely chaotic, and the limited housing in the city will not be able to house all the outcasts at all, and they will only cause a great commotion when they enter the city." ”
Amul on the side heard Shirina's voice and stole a glance at her.
"What do you say, Lowell?" Qin Feng asked again.
"Young master, Miss Shilina is right, there are not enough troops in the territory, and if there is really a commotion, it will be a big trouble." Rowell agrees with Shirina.
"In that case." Qin Feng thought of a solution: "Will, you go and find out all the men who have wives, daughters, and parents, and tell them that if they join the army, their relatives will be able to live in the city." As for the men who don't have families, you recruit some to come into the city and let them build houses in the city. ”
"Tell them that they can get the housing they have built, and that we just need to give them food. The rest of the man, Hank. He also instructed Hank: "You count them into the army and train them as reserves, it is easier to train in peacetime, but you must let them know the basic military regulations, and you can let them patrol outside the city in peacetime to supplement the lack of military strength." ”
"Yes, young master." Hank nodded
This is indeed a good way to do this, because the men who join the army will have a deeper affection for Bull Town because of their family ties. The men who build houses will not be lazy because of the rewards, as for the reserves outside the city, others may not know, but Lowell knows the advantages of doing so, once the reserves are formed, and the troops will be replenished in a short time if they have losses in the future.
"Amul... Amulle..."Qin Feng looked at Amul and shouted again, but Amul didn't seem to hear it, he shouted again.
"It's... Master. Qin Feng's voice brought Amulle back to his senses, and he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, young master..."
"If you're tired, get some rest." Qin Feng frowned, but when he saw Amule's dark circles and dark yellow face, he comforted.
"Yes, young master, thank you for your concern." Amüller bowed his head and replied.
"How much grain is left in the warehouse? How long can it last? Qin Feng returned to the point.
"If it's just the current number of displaced people, we can support it for two months, and if the number of displaced people is larger, we can only support it for more than one month, or less." "However, if we make the porridge thinner, the available food will last longer," Amul added. ”
Shirina frowned, she looked at Amüller, this was disgusting to her.
"Nope." Qin Feng waved his hand and refused without thinking about it, the porridge must not be thinner, otherwise in this weather, there will definitely be homeless people who will start to die.
"Lowell," Qin Feng was ready to speed up the implementation of the plan: "Speed up the training of the army, we have to advance the plan." "With the completion of the construction of the garrison fortress, the training time of the army has been shortened by 20%, but this time Qin Feng has trained all the Roman youth army into the Roman adult army and the Roman prime army, although the combat effectiveness of these two armies is stronger than the Roman youth army, but the training time is also a lot more, and the bonus of this garrison base has been canceled.
"Yes, young master, baron—" Everyone exited the study.
