Chapter Eighty-Seven: Shirina's Suggestion
In the town of Boer, the sun was shining, although both on the streets and on the city walls, there were soldiers standing guard and patrolling. But the townsfolk did not feel the sense of war at all, and they rejoiced in building their homes, and the barbarians and humans went to the tavern to drink and listen to the tavern. The human hugged the barbarian's thigh, and the barbarian hugged the door frame, muttering drunk words with a drunken face.
For those who have just fled, this is paradise, a paradise without war, without strife. For the barbarians, it's a place with warm and clean houses, delicious food, tangy rum, and warm human friends, haha, and of course, the most important thing is rum.
Swarig stood on the city wall, looking at everything inside the city with his hands behind his back, a little worried and a little relieved. He feared that the barbarians would forget that they were members of the White Bear tribe, and only that they were members of the Rhineres. And the good news is that their people are living happily, they don't have to worry about where the food will be tomorrow, and they don't have to worry about the enemy cutting them to death in their beds one day.
"Huh...," he sighed, not knowing if he was right or wrong to bring his people here.
The cold wind stirred his cloak, the beating cloak rattled, and the sun shone on his body with a hint of warmth. Whether it is the White Bear Tribe or the Rheinreth family, it is what he, the big leader, should do if the clansmen can get better, since it has been realized now, why does the White Bear Tribe exist?
He turned slightly dejectedly to inspect the city walls, Will lacked the men available, and as the former chieftain, he was of course responsible for defending the town of Bull.
In the Baron's Palace, in the council hall, Will and the butler and Shirina were sitting at the table. A map lay flat on the table, and they pointed to it and whispered to each other.
"Will, at the place at the foot of the mountain, where the young master advised, have you arranged someone?" The butler asked Will, pointing to a marked mountain pass on the map by the wall. As the chief steward of the Rheinryth family, he has the obligation and responsibility to guard the family after the head of the family leaves. And Will was too young for him to need to be reminded from time to time.
"After the young master just left, the manpower has been arranged, they light a fire day and night, and the soldiers can clearly see them on the city wall, and they don't find anything unusual." Will replied that although he was in charge of the defense of Boer Town after Qin Feng left, he couldn't help but listen to the housekeeper's words.
"Huh......?" The butler nodded, but still frowned, looking down at the map in front of him, not knowing why he always had a sense of foreboding in his heart, but he couldn't find out what it was. Although Will, although young, has his own way of defending, and although he is immature, he is not wrong. But the premonition in his heart has not dissipated for a long time, "Maybe it's old and likes to think cranky." That's all he can think.
"What about here?" Shirina, who had not spoken, suddenly reached out and pointed to a place with her rounded fingers.
"Where is this?" Will was a little strange, it was a human village outside the city walls, he remembered, and said. "It's just an abandoned village, miss, and it's uninhabited now." Will looked at Shirina and said, he had always thought that Shirina would be the young master's wife, so he was not at all unhappy with Shirina's interjection.
There were many villages outside the town of Boer, and those were where the peasants of the city lived during the farming period, where they would cultivate food and raise livestock. When there was a war or when winter came, they would return to the city, sell their surplus food and livestock, and live in the city.
"Are there any soldiers there?" Shirina asked.
"Nope." Will said strangely: "It's just an abandoned village, there is no need to send people to guard it, and it is impossible for orcs to hide there." And even if there were orcs inside, the soldiers standing on the walls would be able to see that something was wrong. ”
"Yes, the same as you said." Shirina stood up and drew a circle around the village with her finger. "But if we send soldiers there, then our field of vision will expand a few hundred meters, and the orc's every move will be detected more quickly."
"Miss, the soldiers on the city wall can see that far." Will said he didn't want to follow Shirina's advice because he felt it was worth the cost. The towering city walls widened the soldiers' field of vision, and Will didn't pay attention to the distance of a few hundred meters.
"Yes, you can see it." Shirina said, "But what about the snow, can you see that far when it's snowing?" He was a little angry, Qin Feng's estrangement from him, his distrust of her, and Uncle Sirigon's dissatisfaction with her decision put her in the middle. But she still considers Bull to be her second home, and she wants to help Will protect Bull, but .......
"Will, just do what Miss Shirina says, and make arrangements." The butler suddenly said to Will. The uneasiness in his heart made him decide to do what Shirina said, not because he believed him, but because he felt that Shirina's words would add a layer of insurance outside of Bull Town.
"Yes...."Why did the housekeeper agree? Will was helpless, but he couldn't help but listen to the butler's words, so he could only nod his head, leave the conference room, and go to arrange.
Shirina gave the butler a grateful look, but the butler only nodded to her and got up to leave.
The butler knew a little bit about what had happened to Shirina and Sirigon, so he was angry that Siricorn had abandoned it with the help of the Rheinryth family. Although Shirina is honestly a victim, he still can't help but take his anger on her.
Shirina's eyes darkened, she lowered her head and pursed her lips, a trace of grievance blocked in her heart.
Shirina was left alone in the empty conference room, she raised her head, bit her lip, and forcibly swallowed the grievances in her heart. Stood up, brushed his wrinkled clothes, and left the conference room. It's just a grievance, the news of his parents' departure has hit him hard enough, and this grievance is nothing.
Will opened the gates of the city as Sirina had told him, and sent a detachment of soldiers out of the town of Bull to camp in an abandoned village not far away. But even so, he only sent 20 soldiers, and he didn't agree with this matter in his heart, although he was ordered by the steward, he was still very resistant in his heart, so he only sent 20 people.
The 20 soldiers trudged through the snow, and a moment later a plume of green smoke rose from the abandoned village, followed by a flash of fire.
And this situation was discovered by the werewolf scout, who was buried in a snowdrift and showed only a pair of eyes.
