Chapter 143: Inevitability

"Everyone, be quiet!" Looking at the crowd of excited people, Canon's heart was also quite moved, but he was no different from the low-level commoners and low-level nobles.

As the lord of Morado and the grandson of the important northern general Lao Canon, he knows better the danger of this snow disaster, and in previous years, the orc movements were only those small tribes, and occasionally one or two large tribes joined the southern invasion, and the scale was already not small.

But this year's snow disaster came too violently, too early, and he received a magic message from his grandfather, and the news he got had to make him vigilant.

The five orc tribes have begun to move, which may indicate a very large-scale southern invasion disaster, although the orcs have not succeeded in breaking through the defense line for more than ten years, but this also means that the orcs may have accumulated an objective number during the battle within the orcs.

Seeing Canon press his hands, everyone gradually calmed down, since the lord summoned them over, he must have made a decision, what they can do now is to cooperate to prevent any orc rangers from crossing the defense line and harassing their homeland.

Large-scale southern invasions often happen very suddenly, just like this case, it only takes two or three days from the snow to the discovery of abnormal movements, even if it takes some time for the orcs to assemble in tandem.

But when those wolf riders who can travel hundreds of miles a day move, it will be enough to reach the Morado region located in the rear of the Half Winter Kingdom in half a month.

"I have sent people to prepare to recruit adventurers, and at the same time contacted several mercenaries, I hope that everyone will also hurry up and notify their families in the vicinity to add strength to protect the town." Canon no longer talks about money at this time, and the gold coins that the family has saved over the years are prepared for this kind of moment.

However, the temporary signs are limited in time after all, and even if they want to find their relatives who have ventured outside, it will not be easy, after all, at this time, the lords of the entire Bandong Kingdom have already received the news, and every place is recruiting combat forces to form a defense line against the orcs.

"But...... Due to special reasons this year, I am afraid that those mercenaries will not accept Morado's employment, and I invite you to come in the hope that they can form a temporary military force as soon as possible, and they will not be able to fill this vacancy. Canon said and looked at Arthur, helplessly.

Although Winterfrost has withdrawn his minions, and he no longer covets the lands that belong to Arthur on the surface, he has actually done a lot of actions behind his back.

For example, some mercenary groups in the surrounding area have already received warnings, so that Morado has no troops to use at this critical moment.

Of course, this is not in line with the rules, neither Winterfrost nor the Ford family wants to be charged with murdering their compatriots, just to make Arthur feel the pressure internally, and by offering a lot of money, Arthur will take the initiative to give up which 'useless' mountain land to achieve his goal.

Of course, the Canon family will not compromise, because this has already involved the issue of territory ownership, and Arthur will not, knowing that this land is not so ordinary as he seems, and if he really wants to give up his own winter frost for the sake of immediate interests, he is not so easy to speak.

"Don't worry, the lord is here, it doesn't matter if those mercenaries come or not, the ancestors didn't come like this back then, as long as Lao Tzu still has a sword in his hand, he will definitely be killed." Even if the sword is rusty, it doesn't matter, as long as the blood is still flowing, Morado will fight to the end.

Arthur looked around and sighed that he was really a disaster, but for now, the goblins that he had worked so hard to recruit before might really come in handy, although he didn't know how much combat power he could have, but it was good to be cannon fodder and make these people around him sacrifice a few less.

"Damn, if I knew that I wouldn't have let the big bear take away the red robe, I would have left the Ice Storm Bear at the level of a demon guide by my side, and the orc army would have to find it if I saw it, right?" Arthur regrets this mentally, but it has come to this point, but it is too late to regret it.

The half-elf is strong, but Arthur knows very well that he will never participate in the war of the creatures of the Overworld, even if this war involves himself, he will not be dispatched until his life is threatened.

As the ultimate power, the guardian also has its own balance between races, and the half-goblins can do it, so can the guardians of the orc tribe also do it?

No matter what profession it is, whether it is a legendary mage or a holy warrior, these guys who have mastered the laws will launch a surge, if not destroy the world, but also turn the river and the sea.

There is no need to do more, as long as the two major mage gathering places in the north are nailed, I am afraid that the human race will really have no advantage in keeping a large territory.

The Winter Frost and Snow and Fog Capital are both very important, and they are also important parts of the Halfwinter Kingdom, which has been an important link for the northern humans to resist the orc defense line, and the orcs cannot be broken not because of insufficient combat effectiveness, but because of the lack of overwhelming high-end strength.

The original threat of the half-elves was only a threat in the final analysis, because both sides knew that the existence of Winter Frost was an important balance between the two races, humans and orcs, and no one was allowed to interfere in breaking the balance between them.

"Goblin ** is good, it will definitely be able to withstand it, and besides, the orcs may not be able to beat Morado." Arthur didn't plan to stay out of it, but he also wanted to keep the worst case scenario out of the way.

But once in the history he had seen there, he had not told him that once all the northern orcs were dispatched, I was afraid that in the end it would not only be Morado and the Kingdom of Half Winter that would be threatened.

Even the Glorious Kingdom and a few neighboring nations in the middle of the country could not escape the surging tide of beasts, and it was inevitable that there would be a full-scale war, not for land or rights, but simply because of a snow, a snow that forced the orcs to consume their own population and rob the human population of food.

The crowd dispersed, enthusiastically preparing to go home to sharpen their swords and guns and prepare for a bloody battle, Arthur's aqueduct construction was estimated to be delayed, and the hired men in the woodlands would be called up to train for war.

On the way back, Uncle Vinnock planned to discuss the future arrangements with Arthur, but it didn't happen, and Arthur was arrested by Lord Frick before leaving. Canon stayed, apparently with more important matters to discuss.

It's still the familiar study, Arthur has been here many times, and unlike the vastness of the hall, the study is more suitable for talking about some intimate content.

Eric stood guard at the door, in case anyone approached to disturb the two of them, Arthur shook his robes and sat down habitually on the bench opposite Frick, with a slight smile on his face, as if waiting for the lord to tell him the reason for looking for him.

Arthur was very calm, he thought that Frick was mostly coming to him because of his teacher, and the combat effectiveness shown by the half-goblins, if he was willing to contribute, would definitely make this battle more certain, but Arthur was wrong, and he was very wrong!
