Darkness of night enveloped the town, and the townspeople had already dreamed of it, except for the faint glimmer of fire in the sentry of the city walls.

"Knock knock knock ......" Suddenly a sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the city, getting closer and closer, the sentry in the sentry was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, and quickly shook his dozing companion awake, picked up his weapon and looked at it vigilantly and shouted: "Who is it?" ”

"I'm Lord Hank's guard, hurry up and open the door, I have something important to see the young master." On horseback were the guards Hank had sent out. After trading with the iron merchants, Qin Feng had already obtained two batches of 100 war horses during this time, all of which were excellent war horses of the barbarians, and Qin Feng equipped the guards who went out to investigate with war horses at the first time.

"It's your own people, hurry up and open the door, hurry up and open the door." The sentry shouted.

"Coaxing ....." The huge gate was opened by the guards, and the guards spurred their horses into the city, and the heavy sound of horses' hooves woke up many townspeople who were restless and not very asleep.

…………..

"Young Master, Young Master!" Qin Feng, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the housekeeper, and seeing the housekeeper's anxious look, Qin Feng rubbed his eyes and asked, "Is there something urgent?" "The butler has always been measured, and if there is no big event, he will never bother him at this time.

"Young master, it's Hank who has something urgent to tell you." The housekeeper said while directing the maid to dress and wash Qin Feng.

"No need to wash, you all go down, butler, you go and call Rowell to the Baron's Mansion for me." Qin Feng's heart suddenly, Hank was in a hurry to hurry to the Baron's Mansion late at night, it was definitely his subordinates who found out something, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked the maid to dress himself.

"Yes, young master." The housekeeper hurriedly retreated, and Qin Feng hurriedly walked downstairs and walked into the conference hall after the maid served and got dressed.

Hank was waiting in the living room at this time, looking anxious, when he saw Qin Feng coming, he quickly stood up and said, "Young Master......."

Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "Wait until Luo Wei comes, you rest first, and I'll ask the maid to bring you some clothes." At this time, Hank was wearing a thin shirt, and it seemed that he had also come from the bed, and the weather had turned cold at this time, so Qin Feng hurriedly asked the maid to go down and get the clothes.

…………………………

Qin Feng's heart was in turmoil at this time, and he thought of it when he saw Hank's anxious look, although he had made a lot of arrangements before, but when he really faced this day, he still felt a little out of hand.

It's not just a game, just move the mouse and press the keyboard. This is the real, bloody reality, and if one is not handled properly, not many of the more than a thousand people in the entire town of Bull will escape.

"Young master..."After a while, Lowell and the butler pushed the door in, and Rowell was still wearing a shirt, and it seemed that he hurried over without even wearing clothes.

Qin Feng asked the maid to go down and get another piece of clothing and let the two of them put it on.

"Sit down first," Qin Feng let out a sigh, leaving his messy thoughts behind, "Hank, let's talk, what happened?" ”

"Yes, young master," Hank opened the map in his hand and spread it on the table, and said while gesturing: "In order to have a deeper understanding of the situation of the orcs, my guards extended outward to explore a part of Fort York, and found that the orc troops were obviously assembled, and I later explored the surrounding area, and found that the only human city that was not occupied by the orcs was our Bull Town, I think the target of the orcs is probably us." ”

Hank's words were very vague, and even to a large extent he guessed by himself, but Qin Feng didn't think that Hank's conjecture was incorrect. After that group of businessmen came here more than a month ago, Qin Feng already knew that he couldn't hide here for long at all.

The scouts of the orcs are not weak, otherwise they would not have been able to capture the "Cold Iron Fortress" in an instant when the empire was unprepared, you must know that although the empire has not been in war for a long time, the empire is also built by force. In order to guard against the orcs in the north, the empire had already built a cold iron fortress at the time of the founding of the country, and there has been no problem for more than 100 years.

"How many people, are they greenskins?" Qin Feng asked.

"There are not many of them, about 2,000 people, but I don't know if it's greenskins, there are quite a few wolf cavalry patrolling near Fort York, and we don't dare to get too close," Hank sighed.

Orcs are just a general term for these creatures, including the strongest greenskins, cunning goblins, ferocious gnolls, and sparsely numerous werewolves, and there is a big difference in combat effectiveness between the various races.

"Hmm... Tell the guards to go on and investigate, be sure to find out the number and variety of orcs, and come back and let me know when you have any problems. Qin Feng pointed to the map: "Especially the situation between Fort York and Bull Town, you give me more care." ”

"Yes, young master."

"Alright, you go down first.

"Yes—" Hank got up and walked away quickly.

"Lowell, how's the army doing?" Qin Feng glanced at Luo Wei, who had been silent, and asked.

"There's still a week before they can complete recruit training, but there are still some problems when they go to the battlefield, they still haven't seen blood in recruits."

The barracks had already been renovated, but it would take a month to train the soldiers, and during that time Lowell had been in the barracks, and he knew the situation in the barracks best.

"This time we are just defending the city, and there is not so much time for us now, the recruits will become veterans after a few battles and see blood." Qin Feng frowned, and asked secretly in his heart, "System, how many gold coins do I have now?" ”

"Host, you now have a total of 500 gold,"

During this period, Qin Feng traded with the iron merchant twice, exchanging 1,000 catties of iron ore for 250 gold coins and a large number of animal skins, animal tendons and war horses.

"Train two teams of conscripts first."

"Levy: (The puppet can also throw a spear at the enemy.) Training costs 100 gold, (training time is a quarter of a round.) ）

Ranged Kill: 29 Range: 80 Rate of Fire: 7

Ammo: 7 Melee Attack: 5 Weapon Damage: 24

Armor: 7 Melee Defense: 37 Base Morale: 22

Charge bonus: 3

Maintenance Cost: 60 Gold (Half a Year)

Skill: Fatigue Resistance, conceals in the bushes. ”

Although the levies are rubbish, they are very good for defending the city, and the javelin is more lethal than ordinary bow and arrow ointment, and there are not as many technical requirements. What's more, the training of the levies does not take much time, unlike the Roman Youth Army, which can be seen from the name.

During this period of time, there have been a lot of displaced people, among whom there are more strong laborers, who have been repairing the city wall and mining before, but now that the repair of the city wall can be stopped, then the saved strong labor can be conscripted as a conscription.

After Hank left, Qin Feng and Lowell discussed in the room for an entire night, until the sunlight shone through the window into the room.

"Young master, you go and rest first, you haven't slept all night." Seeing Qin Feng's tired appearance, Luo Wei said worriedly.

"It's okay," Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "You go get busy first, I'll be quiet by myself." ”

"Yes, young master."

After Luo Wei left, Qin Feng sat on the chair, stretched his waist widely, rubbed his eyes and continued to look at the map on the table. This map is left by Hank, and the drawing is very rough, but it can be used.

"Host, the system has a strategic map inside." At this point, the system said suddenly.

"Why didn't you say it earlier, I watched it all night, and my eyes were almost over." Qin Feng was speechless.

Open the strategy map, just like in the game, but in much more detail than the map in the game, but in many places it is shrouded in black fog.

"What's going on with all this fog?" Qin Feng tried to take a look, but the result was still the same, pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

"This is the fog of war, you can only permanently unravel it when you occupy or conquer this place, of course, you can also use the scout to probe the host, and the fog will temporarily disperse wherever the scout goes."

Qin Feng looked and found that apart from Bull Town, the only thing he could see was Fort York, and it seemed that Hank's men were still staring at it.
