Section 52: Calling for help

A large orc invasion is extremely fatal for a city without foreign assistance, although the orcs are not very good at siege technology, but they have enough patience, even if the walls are strong enough, either the defenders will be destroyed due to the lack of ammunition and food, or the orcs will be forced to retreat after eating everything that can be eaten within tens of miles of the city. Therefore, even if the orcs fail to attack the city and retreat, the surrounding area of the city will be dead silent, and it will not be able to recover for several years.

If this trouble is not solved quickly, not only will this year's trade income be greatly reduced, but other losses will be incalculable, but now the leaders of this city are at a loss, because now they have insufficient troops to fight back, and the temporarily conscripted soldiers can only guard the city wall, and if they really want to run out of the field, it is purely to send food to the orcs (orcs eat human flesh).

"Tishari, when will the team to Yatta be able to return?" In a quiet room, the two leaders of the Naismai powers spoke alone. Although in a formal setting, the chief speaker of the city council, the priest represented by Gigley Zenasha, and the mage Tessari? The mage faction represented by Ararini was always at odds, and the latter even declared that priests should not interfere in any political affairs, but in reality the two were close allies.

The private assertion that "Gigli needed Teresa's help when the city was attacked, and that the storm summoned by the mage played a crucial role in defeating the Orc tribe's attack, and that the two women had a grudging respect for each other, so they kept an armed truce between them in the Senate" was a sheer excuse.

The long-haired female mage Tsali said angrily: "It will take a week (ten days) at the earliest. Gigley, I said a long time ago that it's best to mix less between the gods, but if you don't listen, it's fine. If you hadn't sent out all of them, why would you have let a damn berserk baboon sneak into the city and make such a big mess."

The high-ranking priestess Gigley, who looked a little haggard, sighed and said, "Okay, Tsali, it's me who is wrong. But it's too late to say anything now, you know the current situation, after a long winter, we can't wait for the Kuks and them to come back, no way, Ararini, ask for foreign help."

"Asking for help, to whom? Do you mean Erastro's shameless and skinless one? No, I will never ask her for help" As soon as she talked about asking for help, Tessari suddenly became excited, and her voice was high-pitched and sharp, like a little ** who had been pinched on the ass on a crowded bus.

"That's enough, don't be willful, okay? The last time I helped the Mithril Hall, I was very dissatisfied with Erasdra, this time Tesari, admit your mistake to her, and only if you open your mouth, the reinforcements from Silvermoon City will come as quickly as possible. At this time, Gigli's expression became surprisingly solemn, and she stared coldly at the female mage who looked a little flustered, and soon her eyes softened again.

Tessari's face changed sharply for a while, and then he said a little twisted: "Okay, I'll just say it." But it's not that I'm willing to bow my head, I'm for the whole of Nesmail, and I can't guarantee that she will agree to send troops. ”

Soon, the female mage walked out of the magic communication room with a strange expression, and Gigli hurriedly greeted her and asked hopefully, "How is it, has the Lady of Radiance promised to send troops when the troops will be sent?"

"What? she didn't say yes?" Gigley's face changed for a moment, and she couldn't speak a little uncomfortably.

But Tesari still shook her head, and Gigli said angrily, "You damn woman, did Astrastra agree?" Teresa smiled at her friend, revealing a strange look, and then walked out without saying a word.

Gigli was almost angry, and she chased after her and shouted, "Don't go, even if you complain, you have to give me a letter first." ”

Nesmail's old wooden hotel, William is drinking afternoon tea with his family, due to the threat of orcs outside the city, coupled with the violent giant baboon rebellion two days ago, everyone in the city is in danger, and the guests in the hotel are correspondingly pitiful, so William's big and small family is also particularly eye-catching.

It is said that it is drinking afternoon tea, but it is actually the boredom of the family, sitting together in a daze to pass the time, Yasuna naughty blowing bubbles at the teacup, Phinea continues to fiddle with her thunder frost as if she never gets bored, and the two little ones are giggling and teasing the snow-white satin cat and cat worm, the poor little thing can't even take a nap, and can only grin and keep sending a solemn protest to the initiator of the "bad character". ,

The door of the hotel was pushed open from the outside, the weather in the north at this time was still a little cold, a cool air blew in along the door of the store, the sleepy guy leaning on the counter couldn't help but shiver, he shrank his head and wanted to continue to nap, but suddenly a spirit immediately jumped up, staring directly at the guests who walked in.

William knew all the people who came, and the first one was Eric Morgan, the captain of the "Sir Henry", and the two women behind him were the two men who had been so powerful that night against the furious baboon, and the two chiefs of Nesmail, Gigli Zenasha and Tessari. Ararini, I just don't know what these two people are doing here, I hope they didn't come for themselves.

As the so-called good spirits are not bad spirits, William's mind was spinning, but the three of them walked straight to the table where he was. Morgan, who was at the front, had a hint of inexplicable trepidation hidden on his slightly respectful face, but he hid it well, and it would have been difficult to detect it if it weren't for William's recent growing intuition, and there was a mysterious smile on Tessari's face, but Gigri at the back was full of helplessness and suspicion, she was always skeptical about Tessari's decision.

Coming closer, Tessari looked at a table of people with interest for a while, with a puzzled look on her face: "May I ask you, who is William? Who is Yasuna?" No one answered, William leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, Yasuna continued to blow bubbles, Phinea still continued to fiddle with her axe, the two little girls looked up, probably feeling that the other party was not as attractive as cats and cats, and the two little guys lowered their little heads and continued to play with the cats and cats that had left their anger.

In the cold field, Tessari, who ate a "cold cake", was a little embarrassed, and Morgan next to him hurriedly stepped forward to save the scene, and he smiled with a strong smile: "Hehe, Mr. William, these two are the leaders of Nesmail, Senator Ms. Tsari, and the chief spokesman, Mrs. Gigley."

After a long time, William opened his eyes and asked, "Captain Morgan, what are you doing with us, is it time for the 'Sir Henry' to set sail?"

Morgan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mr. William, this"

Tessari interjected, "Until the orcs retreat, all ships will be requisitioned, including the Sir Henry."

"Oh, then, Captain Morgan, when the Sir Henry is ready to set sail, just send someone to inform me, and if it's all right, please don't disturb our teatime. William's appearance looked extremely unbeaten, and the faces of at least two uninvited guests had changed.
