Chapter 145: Foreseeable Disaster
"Half more?" Arthur nodded, this is better than he expected, don't underestimate this half of the number, at the critical moment can release more magic, compared with the same level of magicians, it can also have a stronger advantage.
The difference between a magician and a ** master is far less than that of an apprentice advanced mage, or an advanced magician of an advanced master, and the magic power will not change qualitatively, the only difference is nothing more than the amount of magic power, as well as the advancement of control.
Although Arthur's wizard seems to be the same, he still needs to cross the same threshold, and for a magician, having a more abundant reserve of mana is always a great benefit to crossing the threshold.
"Melissa, can't you really meddle in the affairs of the orcs? Even if it's just Morado? "His own matter is solved, but Arthur remembered the meeting just now, if there is more powerful combat power of the half-goblin, even if the orcs come in vain.
Melissa shook her head lightly and sighed secretly: "Arthur, you don't understand, the guardian represents the will of the main world, the assistant of the gods to balance the main world, even if I stay in Morado, as long as there is no problem with the wizard tower, I will not do it, this is the rule, if it changes, it will only cause more serious conflicts." ”
The half-goblin waved his hand, and finally put down Lilia who was hanging in the air, but fortunately, after Arthur came, the succubus was a lot quieter, anyway, it was no different for her whether it hung in the sky or not, it was nothing more than looking for an opportunity to target the old witch, and it became a habit to talk back.
"In this case, it seems that I can only make a move, and I don't know how much the little greenskin will survive this winter." Arthur left the pharmacy with Lilia, looked at the few snowflakes falling from the sky from time to time, and shook his head to calculate.
Goblins have one of the highest elimination rates in the forest, and their reproduction rate is also quite high, and a goblin that can only live for more than ten years is considered to be long-lived.
Although these goblins captured by Arthur are located at the edge of the forest, they don't have to worry about food or whether they will be hunted by humans, but after all, they are still too weak and have no civilization at all.
This, coupled with the fact that Arthur gave them the task of expelling those of their kind near the edge of the forest, made it inevitable that fighting would take place, and eventually lead to a gradual attrition of troops, which would not be enough to maintain the number of people on the border.
Frick Canon gave Arthur 10 gold coins every year, and every year Arthur had to replenish these little green skins in time to ensure the safety of the land in Morado's territory.
And Arthur himself understands that these little green skins are his important combat power, and he has no complaints about taking a little time out every year to contract more goblins.
Winter is the time when goblins die the most, there is no food supplement, the little green skin is hidden in the soil cave most of the time, at this time their appetite will become very small, often eat a piece of sweet potato can survive for half a month, in case there are goblins that are frozen to death and can't hold on, it will also become food for goblins in the same cave.
Wait until the spring flowers bloom before they reappear to start the new year.
Forcing the goblins to go out to fight, this is definitely a ** annoyance, I'm afraid that the non-combat losses brought by winter will be much more than Arthur expected, which makes Arthur have a headache, especially the enemy he will face, or the powerful orc giant wolf cavalry, the little green skin that lacks weapons and defensive positions, whether it can have the strength to fight, is a big problem.
"I haven't fought either, so I'll have to wait and see." Arthur now realized that he was really inexperienced, and there was no way to refer to the interstellar, empire, or Warcraft in front of him.
A soldier is not a banker, he can grow it when he plants it in the soil, and he does not have a magical barracks that can create a combat force on land, sea and air for him to arrange his troops.
The only people he can rely on are Morado's fellow adventurers and mercenaries, as well as the little greenskins he uses as a lawn puller.
"Uncle, you're here, I'm going to look for you."
After all, for the two of them, the arrival of the orcs not only means war, but also means that the land project that has just been reclaimed will be stopped, and it will affect whether the land that has been cleared next year can start farming, and whether it will continue to be abandoned for another year.
"Arthur, what are your plans?" The land belongs to Arthur, and Uncle Vinnock, although he is a partner, only contributes to receive some dry dividends.
In the real sense, the decision of the land is all done by Arthur, even if Arthur gives Uncle Vinock great trust, Arthur still needs to make decisions on such a major matter.
"What else, the project will definitely be stopped, and the hired ones will also be recalled by the lord for training and combat, fortunately, part of the land in the early stage has been cleared, and if it is reclaimed in the spring of next year, it should be in time." Arthur still has a certain hope in his heart, after all, he has tens of thousands of little green skins in his hands, no matter what, it is still possible to reduce the damage caused by the orcs to the town.
"Hey...... That's it, I'm going to get ready too, and Vic, by the way, Arthur, can you teach him some magic that he can fight, although the apprentice can't use any powerful spells, it's good to be able to help a little. Thinking of his children, Uncle Vinnock was also uneasy.
If I accidentally have any accidents in this battle, I am afraid that this family will be so sad and comfortable in the future.
"Uncle, don't worry, it'll be fine, and I'll say if the orcs will call."
Arthur saw his uncle's worry, remembered what Frick Cannon had said to him, pressed down the gloom hovering in his heart, and squeezed out a smile to comfort the young elders.
Watching Uncle Vinnock leave, Arthur closed the door, I'm afraid tonight will be a sleepless night for many people, the pace of war is coming in an instant, there is no time for people to prepare, every time humans and the orcs in the north start a war, it all starts like this.
No matter how strong the battle line in the north is, it is impossible to prevent tens of thousands of wolf cavalry from entering the human hinterland from the mountains and forests.
The war between the races is even more cruel, killing and looting, there is no restraint at all, if you don't want to die, you have to raise your weapons, no matter men, women and children, as long as you have the last breath, you can't bow your head in front of such a war.
"The war in the previous life looked too ridiculous, it was nothing more than the interests between people, and the contradictions between completely different races could not be compared at all, as for the demons and the main world." Thinking of this, Arthur couldn't help but shake his head, the damn Demon King selection would probably make the whole world even more chaotic.
