Before seeing that video, many people really didn't take the dragon too seriously, and even suspected that it was just a slightly larger lizard, which scared the new head of the Arias family.

Women's guts are always small, and it's easy to make a big fuss.

But after watching the video, as long as the eyes are not blind, they can realize how powerful the black dragon in the swamp is, but because of this, the representatives of the major families are more and more hesitant.

Defeating that terrifying monster would obviously cost a lot of money, both in terms of manpower, and since the dragon didn't appear in their territory, most people didn't want to pay for the disaster of the Arias family.

It's no wonder why someone advised Yin Leia not to disturb the monster in the swamp.

Of course, David's words also make sense, and the nobles in the West are not unaware that since the black dragon with the ability to fly can threaten the Arias family, it can also threaten them.

But there are some things that everyone knows, but it is inconvenient to say.

- Before the dragon harmed Blackstone or the Pobo family's woodlands, it must have destroyed the greenfields.

In other words, even if David's worries were to become a reality, with the Arias family at the forefront, it would buy enough time for the other families to complete the build-up of troops.

Compared to recruiting a large army in advance and placing it in the territory of the Arias family, this method is undoubtedly more economical, and it will not cause the territory to be empty because too many elites are withdrawn.

Therefore, except for the Bartoli family, the hardcore allies of the Arias family, who have always expressed their support, the remaining family representatives are still not very enthusiastic about sending troops to slay dragons.

They didn't object to it anymore, because it didn't have a good reputation, and it didn't give David, the future Lord of the West, face.

So most of the people also echoed David's words, which once made Miss Rabbit full of joy, thinking that reinforcements could be expected.

However, after that, these people began to look for all kinds of reasons, such as postponing the date of the army's assembly, giving birth to a wife, breaking out of the epidemic, or the presence of robbers nearby, and the need to suppress the bandits first, etc., and then they quarreled over the position of commander-in-chief, and fell into the same kind of tug-of-war as before.

In the blink of an eye, another month and a half passed, and as a result, except for Ferdinand who arrived in the green field with a team of three hundred people, Yin Leia did not see the shadow of half of the reinforcements.

The head of the Arias family stood on the city wall every day, looking forward to it, but the expectation was disappointed again and again, and finally a bad news came.

"What did you just say, say it again?!" The girl suspected that something was wrong with her ears.

"This coalition will be commanded by Huls, the second son of the Marquis of Courlen." The messenger repeated the message he had heard.

"Why, why Huls? What about Lord David, hasn't he always supported sending troops? When Miss Rabbit blurted out this sentence, she actually knew the answer.

As the next successor of the Figuerola family, even if he himself is willing to participate in this dragon slaying battle, it is almost impossible for the Figuerola family to allow him to risk his life.

The commander of the coalition forces needs a weighty person to be the commander-in-chief, who must be from the Figuerola family, and preferably of pure blood, so that he can command the troops of other families.

In this way, there is really no one more suitable than Hulse.

The problem is that Hulse is likely behind the murder of Yin Leia's father, and he himself has an inexplicable connection to the dragon in the swamp.

Such a person becomes the commander of the coalition forces, and I am afraid that there will be no need to fight this battle at all.

The girl's first reaction after getting the news was to rush to Rock Snow City immediately and beg David to change the commander, but when her mind calmed down again, she knew that even if she rushed over, it would hardly have any impact on the result.

Most of her suspicions about Huls at this stage were only speculation, and there was not enough evidence at hand to prove that Huls was indeed related to the black dragon.

Moreover, the commander of the coalition forces was elected by all major families, and it was not changed by David. Even if it can be replaced, I don't know how long it will take for the next commander to be elected.

Yin Leia can also see now that the other families clearly plan to drag on the dragon slaying indefinitely, and they don't know how long they want to delay, but there is not much time left for the Arias family.

Winter was approaching, and the dragon could leave the swamp at any moment because of lack of food.

The girl could only gather her vassals again and discuss countermeasures with Ferdinand, the family of the Bathory family, and this time Li Yu was also present.

Miss Rabbit looked around the hall and asked her guardian knight, "Alfred, how many of us do we have on hand now?" ”

"During this time, I have been expanding the army according to your request, stepping up the recruitment and training of soldiers, and now the Arias family has a total of three hundred and twenty-six warriors, but most of them are newcomers, and after removing the necessary guards of the castle, there are about two hundred and sixty people who can be mobilized."

The old knight paused, and then continued, "As for the militia, since it is now past the time of the farming, if all of them are mobilized, the number should exceed fifteen hundred." ”

Later, several knights of the Arias family who had fiefs also got up one after another and introduced the situation on their side, and their troops together could probably make up another 2,000 people, of course, most of them were also militiamen.

Coupled with the 1,000 lizardmen of the Shuangxiu Sect, and the 300 people brought by Ferdinand, together, the number of people is already approaching the 5,000 mark.

And this is almost the limit of the number of troops that Yin Leiya can mobilize, which still sounds quite bluffing, but there are no outsiders in Teacup Castle, and everyone knows how this number was obtained.

Soon, because of his meritorious work in finding the dragon, Juan, who had just been named a knight recently, opened his mouth and sprayed cold water on everyone first, "It should be difficult for a militia with only simple training to come in handy when dealing with that dragon." ”

Since Jude was nominally dead, Juan was now the only one left to fight the dragon and survive, and his words were convincing.

"The dragon's sense of oppression is very strong, ordinary people don't have the courage to face it, it's not a secret, I was terrified when I saw it for the first time, and even the hand holding the sword was trembling." Juan recalls the nightmare from before, and still looks like he has more than one season.

"If the militia is engaged in battle, it is estimated that it will not take long for them to collapse according to their psychological capacity, and once the militia begins to flee on a large scale, it will cause other people's psychology to be shaken, and the consequences will be unimaginable."
