Chapter 109 Reinforcements Arrive
"Lord Baron, a large number of troops are approaching outside the territory, and their intentions are unknown!"
"Lord Baron, we have received a lot of messages from nobles, they tell us to surrender unconditionally, otherwise they will send troops to destroy us, what should we do?"
“......”
One bad news after another kept coming into Zhou Tian's ears, even if he didn't take those nobles into his eyes originally, but now when he was really targeted by them, Zhou Tian still inevitably felt the pressure.
In any case, those orc nobles still have some strength, not counting the external forces, Zhou Tian himself admits that only based on the strength of his territory, it is estimated that even any old noble lord cannot fight. And now that so many nobles have declared war with them, a large number of lords have directly sent their own troops, and under that circumstances, as long as Zhou Tian is a little careless, it is estimated that those orcs will be defeated.
A month's time, Zhou Tian has to hold on for at least a month to wait for the support of the elves. Although this task is not difficult in Zhou Tian's opinion, he is not afraid of 10,000, not to mention what kind of changes will be brought about after the appearance of the elf clan. At least at this time, in the face of the threat of those orcs, Zhou Tian must come up with his own methods, otherwise if the other party continues to attack like this, Zhou Tian doesn't know if his territory can hold on.
The situation is not good, but Zhou Tian's attitude is still strong, after all, he knows what those nobles have in mind, and he doesn't think that if he is soft, he will let him go.
"Reply to those nobles, if you want to fight, you want to fight, and ask me to surrender...... No way!"
"Yes. ”
"As for those armies, it is estimated that they are the private soldiers of the nearby lords, since they have already launched an operation, then what else is there to say, we will directly face the battle. ”
"......"
"Are you afraid?" Zhou Tian also understood the situation of his territory, so he also knew that the orcs under his command were a little afraid at this moment. In the face of this situation, the orcs under his command could retreat, but Zhou Tian had no room to retreat, and in the end, he could only boost morale at that time and said: "Although our situation is indeed not good, but those nobles may not be able to defeat us 100%, don't look at them strong now, just wait for me to launch a counterattack, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer at that time!"
"Let's go and mobilize everyone to fight!" Although Zhou Tian's words didn't have much effect, but since Zhou Tian had made up his mind to face the battle, those orcs who were his subordinates didn't have much to say, even if they didn't necessarily agree with Zhou Tian's decision in their hearts, but in the end, those orcs present still chose to cooperate.
Looking at those subordinates who lacked confidence, Zhou Tian couldn't help but feel a headache, his own strength was not advantageous compared to those orc nobles. In this case, if the orcs under Zhou Tian still have no intention of fighting, then there is no need to fight this battle, and Zhou Tian directly admits defeat.
And some of Zhou Tian's plans could not be clearly stated, and in that case, he must have felt a little distressed.
However, although Zhou Tian couldn't think of any good solution for a while, in terms of morale, it was nothing more than to increase the chances of his side winning, as long as Zhou Tian could make his orcs think that they could win, then the problems that Zhou Tian was worried about now would not be a matter at all.
And the way to really make them better than the orc empire Zhou Tian has not thought of, but he has no shortage of means to increase his own confidence. Seeing that the orcs under his command were a little lacking in confidence because the enemy they were facing was too strong, Zhou Tian's eyes rolled a few times, and he quickly came up with a solution at that time.
"You release the news to me again, the Red Dragon Prince is in my territory, if they attack our territory, they will hurt the Red Dragon Prince, and let them think about the consequences!" Zhou Tian didn't know that releasing the identity of Zhengtailong might cause some serious consequences, but now that the Orc Empire has achieved this, Zhou Tian doesn't mind lifting the table, and he will not let the Orc Empire feel easy.
Not to mention the rest, as soon as Zhou Tian's words were released, the morale of the orcs under his command was immediately boosted.
Zheng Tailong's identity is not a secret, but it is definitely not known to everyone. After all, the character and particularity of the dragon clan are very famous, even if they know the identity of Zhengtailong, they may not have trouble if they spread this matter with a big grin. Therefore, even if Zhou Tian had never given a gag order, and the last appearance of the Red Dragon King had indirectly explained the identity of Zhengtailong, but when most of Zhou Tianyuan's orcs already knew this information, the newly added lords under Zhou Tian still didn't know anything about it.
At that time, when he suddenly knew that Zhou Tian still had such a hole card in his hand, although he was not full of confidence that they could win, the orcs under Zhou Tian were not too pessimistic.
Since the Red Dragon Prince is so familiar with Zhou Tian, although he has a strange temper (he hides in his room every day to play games), his identity is absolutely impossible to fake. In this way, if Zhou Tian and the Red Dragon Prince are so familiar, then when Zhou Tian's territory encounters danger in the future, will the Red Dragon Prince help him at that time?
Although Zheng Tailong's own strength is still very weak, it is not that he has not done the act of calling parents before. And according to the identity of the Red Dragon Prince, once he chooses to call his parents, then when the Red Dragon King comes, all the forces that want to deal with Zhou Tian are estimated to have to pay a heavy price.
Just thinking about it, the orcs under Zhou Tian at that time had no shortage of confidence in the next battle. It's a big deal to call the red dragon, according to Zhou Tian's 'background', those orcs who don't know much about his situation, now listen to his words, but they are not too afraid of the threat of those nobles.
As a result, according to Zhou Tian's order, his orcs released the news of the Red Dragon Prince, but on the other hand, they also began to prepare for war according to their strength.
Although the deterrent power of the dragon clan is not small, it is not easy to scare those nobles away based on just one rumor. After all, the bounty issued by the upper echelons of the Orc Empire is full of temptation, and at the moment, even if he knows that there is a great risk against Zhou Tian, he still will not lack a role in the fire.
Therefore, after Zhou Tian asked his orcs to release the news of the Red Dragon Prince, the effect must have played a role. At least when those orcs heard the news in that regard, they no longer dared to attack their territory with impunity. However, while those nobles were hesitating whether to continue, the armies on the border of Zhou Tian's territory still had no intention of withdrawing.
The news released by Zhou Tian is easy to confirm, after all, although the news spread by Zhou Tian is said to be confidential, it is not difficult to find out if it is really to be checked. In addition, the content of the bounty itself is also a proof, and it is not difficult for those nobles to confirm the correctness of the news after hearing the relevant news at that time.
But even so, what about knowing that the Red Dragon Prince is real?
First of all, even if the dragon mentioned above is really the Red Dragon Prince, it does not mean that they will attack Zhou Tian's territory, and the Red Dragon Prince will come out to fight. Secondly, even if they really fought with the Red Dragon Prince, as long as they promised not to do anything to the other party, and then captured the Red Dragon Prince alive and escorted him to the imperial capital, even if this move had a big trouble, it would also be borne by the Beamon family.
And the opportunity to be able to raise the title is not very rare, and those nobles who missed this time do not know if they will be able to encounter such an opportunity again in their lifetime. The loss of strength can be slowly compensated, but an opportunity like the one now, for those orcs at that time, is something they don't want to miss.
As a result, because of that desire for the promotion of the title, a group of orc nobles still chose to persist in the end, knowing that Zhou Tian would be difficult to 'gnaw'. Although there was some hesitation to attack Zhou Tian's territory, almost no orc nobles had thought about retreating at that time.
In the face of that situation, Zhou Tian ordered his orcs to actively prepare for battle, but on the other hand, he tried to find a way to maintain that balance. Because for Zhou Tian at that time, whether those orc nobles withdrew or not was actually not as important as it seemed.
If those orc nobles withdrew, it would be good news for Zhou Tian, without the threat of those orcs, Zhou Tian would be able to settle down and develop his territory. Next, as long as he improves his strength, the current predicament he is facing will not happen again.
I believe that the stalemate situation at that time was difficult to break, and those orc nobles with scruples would not have been able to have such a high bounty unless they were guaranteed by the emperor, and none of them would dare to be the first birds. But who of those orc nobles in the imperial capital would dare to make such a guarantee? In this way, without an accident, according to the choice of those nobles near Zhou Tian, it is unlikely that they will attack Zhou Tian's territory.
And those noble lords would not be able to move under normal circumstances, and it was even more unlikely that Zhou Tian would take action. After all, Zhou Tian's current situation is there, just the threat of those orcs is enough to make him feel a headache, and it is good news that the other party does not attack him, in that situation, Zhou Tian will take the initiative to provoke those orc nobles when his brain is broken.
In this way, based on the situation at that time, in fact, there should be no problem for Sunday to hold on for a month. After all, the time of one month is not long or short, and it may be that those nobles have not yet discussed a result, and a month has already passed. And when he was confident that he could ask the elves to help, Zhou Tian was not too worried about the difficulties he encountered this time.
In fact, Zhou Tian's thoughts at that time were indeed not wrong. After all, no one could have expected Zhou Tian to have those actions, and if he didn't know his actions, Zhou Tian would not have encountered the attack of the Orc Empire immediately.
And according to the situation at that time, no one expected that Zhou Tian would actually contact the Elven Empire, even if the Orc Empire had never given up suppressing him, it was impossible to guard against his 'treason' at that time. In this way, even if those orcs still planned to continue to suppress Zhou Tian, it was impossible for them to move quickly for a while.
In this way, when those orcs were discussing how to deal with Zhou Tian at that time, time flew by. A month has passed, and perhaps the orcs have not yet come up with a result.
And according to the situation at that time, Zhou Tian had already held on to it in January, even if its territory was temporarily fine, the reinforcements from the Elven Empire still rushed over as promised.
Just like Zhou Tian thought, without the existence of the crystal ball factor, maybe the Elven Empire might not be able to make up its mind to protect him so quickly. But now that they know about the existence of the crystal ball, unless they are willing to suffer greater losses in the future, it is impossible for them to refuse Zhou Tian's refuge at present.
So everything was as Zhou Tian thought, when the elf who cooperated with him arrived at the 'imperial capital' of the elf empire with a crystal ball, he quickly spread the news to the ears of the elven empress. Then, in less than a week, the Elven Empire discussed the results at that time.
Although helping Zhou Tian may lead to serious consequences, it is even possible to go to war with the Orc Empire directly for this. But no matter what, no one can ignore the importance of Zhou Tian, in order to clash with the Orc Empire in the future, so as not to face the threat of the Dragon Clan at the same time, even if there is a real war now, they will definitely not allow the Orc Empire to occupy such a big advantage because of Zhou Tian.
As a result, even if it was a major event related to the possibility of war between the two countries, the Elven Empire discussed the result in a very short time. Then, according to Zhou Tian's needs, the Elven Empire sent out the power they supported at that time.
According to the information collected by the elves, it is not necessary to send too many troops to support Zhou Tian, although the orcs under Zhou Tian may not be reliable, but no matter what, there are still hundreds of thousands of retired soldiers under his command. In addition, the Orc Empire did not really send troops to attack Zhou Tian, in that case, if the Elf Empire sent a large army to support Zhou Tian, then it is estimated that not only will it not play a big role, but it will cause adverse consequences.
Speaking of which, what Zhou Tian needs to face at the moment is just a group of nearby noble lords, although it is not difficult to deal with Zhou Tian with their strength. But if it is compared with the Elven Empire, then the strength of the group of nobles who can stabilize Zhou Tian is not enough.
Therefore, the current dilemma of a crisis for Zhou Tian is just a trivial matter for the Elven Empire. Now what they need to think about is not how to help Zhou Tian break the siege, but to avoid the orc empire as much as possible to get a reason to start a war if they achieve their goal.
