Chapter 157: Nonsense

"Master, with your experience, how many giant wolf cavalry can we defend against?" Frick humbly asks for advice, after all, the last time he fought against an orc invasion was in his father's time.

At that time, there were no more than 30 wolves in Morado, and at most they plundered on the periphery, and after tentatively attacking the city a few times, they chose to abandon this south-gnawing bone.

"Hmm...... It's not a problem, if there are only these in front of him, the old man can slaughter them all. "Although it was only one order higher, Ashuk was not talking big.

But this can only be said, Ashuk is really going to jump off the city wall, and those giant wolves who are keen on the strong are estimated to have called the police in advance and ran away with the orcs.

Even if they don't find out that Ashuk is strong, once they fight and suffer, these wolf riders will immediately change their tactics, take advantage of their faster speed, and fight guerrilla warfare with Ashuk, unless Ashuk can have the same level and run on the snow to catch up with the wolf rider's mount, otherwise without the support of the city wall, there is no way to take these 'weak' opponents.

"Only a hundred...... Frick muttered in his heart, the number of troops going south this time is amazing, according to the information from his grandfather, there are more than 80 squadrons composed of 100 wolf riders alone, and there are not a few brigades of 500 wolf riders and more than 1,000 cavalry.

At present, although the raiders who come to the remote areas are small troops, but with the passage of time, the large troops will inevitably slowly move south, and against Morado, without the army-level thousand cavalry, a brigade of 500 cavalry alone is enough to destroy this town.

The big fist is the truth, the fist demon's fist is big enough, so he has credibility to speak, even if Arthur can make the fist demon lick his feet, but if he really wants to say 500, it's no problem, it is estimated that no one will believe himself.

"I thought that the level of preparation in this world should be good, but I didn't expect the difference caused by Gao Wu to be too great." In this magical world, high force is combat effectiveness, and obviously some gadgets have little effect in the face of high force.

A truly elite warrior must have a professional-level level, and at worst a senior apprentice, otherwise in the collision of this high-martial world, it is simply like a fallen leaf floating in a river, and there is a risk of being overturned at any time.

How much is 100 wolves to ride? Of course, there are a lot of them, but with the nearly 3-meter-high city wall of Morado, it can't prevent the wolf cavalry who has no bows and arrows and only machetes as weapons? Arthur felt that this was a little too pessimistic.

In the ancient times of the world that Arthur knew, in terms of combat effectiveness, these wolf weapons were almost at the level of heavy cavalry, and Morado was Morado, a fortress composed of a group of peasants and a few combat-ready soldiers.

Don't look at the small number of people, the defense is poor, but the heavy cavalry wants to capture the fortress is not simple at all, let alone a hundred cavalry, even if thousands of cavalry are under the defense of the fortress, it is like a tiger facing a turtle, and there is nowhere to put its mouth.

At present, the defense of the city walls relied only on the guns of homesteaders and tenant farmers, and there was not the slightest material that Arthur remembered for the defense of the city.

"I think if you have some hot water, you should be able to stop these orcs from attacking." Arthur looked at it, couldn't wait for a few people to react, and reminded him on the side.

"Hot water? Do you want to bathe the orcs? It's not that no one hears Arthur's words, but just because they hear them doesn't mean they understand.

Frick Canon is also smart, but he is limited by the knowledge of this world, and his eyes reveal doubts, and he turns his gaze to Ashuk on the side, obviously wanting to hear the opinion of the old-timers.

"Hot water! That's right, why did I forget about hot water, hurry up and arrange for someone to boil water, the more the better, and rely on this hot water to repel the orcs. Ashuk suddenly had a look of sudden realization, pointed to a few people beside him, and immediately issued an order.

It's just a little hot water, even if it's not wasted, it's just a little firewood, and Morado doesn't dare to say anything else, there is no shortage of wood at all.

Thanks to Arthur, a hundred acres of woodland were cut down, most of which could only be piled up in the snow, but the rest was transported to the town before the war to serve as a reserve against the cold winter.

A large number of tenant farmers and livestock were mobilized, and the speed of carrying was far greater than that of Arthur's hundred or so hired men who had to dig ditches and mop trees.

The most time-consuming and physical work of cutting down the trees had already been done by the bears, and the pre-stacking and sorting had been done by hired workers, and the tenant farmers who carried the wood had only to carry the precious timber back and forth to the town before the orcs arrived.

Flick knew that it was useless for him to stand on the head of the city, so he turned around and took his guards and went to the Lord's Mansion again, not because he was afraid of fighting, but because there were special magic communication items in the Lord's Palace, which could receive the latest news from the front line and orders from the kingdom.

Not to mention Arthur, most people in the Lord's Mansion have never seen it, but it represents the lord's right to rule, and a symbol of communication with the kingdom, a bit like an official seal, with which it means that the kingdom recognizes your right to rule over this place.

Although it is very mysterious, Arthur still heard some general information from the half-goblins, and the principle is actually very simple, nothing more than using a special frequency of magic fluctuations to resonate in a large range.

The transmitted information is a bit like the Morse code, long or short, there are various combinations, ordinary people can't understand what it means even if they see it, and interpretation is also a skill that must be mastered by the lord's inheritance.

So even Frick Canon himself has the strength of a full-time professional Steelknight, and most of the time he has to stay in the rear instead of risking standing on the wall.

Only at the last moment when the Lord's Mansion was besieged did it really come to the point when he needed to play.

"Demon King, what's the use of that hot water?" The people in the city were suddenly reduced by a third because they wanted to boil water, and finally vacated the place between Arthur and Aschuk.

“…… Don't you know, then why are you so excited? Arthur was dumbfounded when he heard this, he thought that Aschak understood what he meant, and he was just talking nonsense.

"Hehe, isn't that what you said Lord Demon King, it's so small that I naturally have to cooperate with you." If it weren't for the fact that there was someone next to him, Ashuk couldn't wait to put on a flattering appearance at this time.

"Hey, another poor kid who has been played badly." Arthur looked at this fist demon and shook his head helplessly, what kind of evil did the half-goblin create, so he was a domineering fist demon, and he was stunned to be trained to become the chief manager of the palace.

Of course, hot water is useful, and it is very useful, and the role of hot water in this winter is not only to take a bath to keep warm, but also to freeze people to death!
