"But if we don't bring the militia, we can only scrape together five hundred people, and even if we add those annoying lizardmen, there are less than fifteen hundred, how can such a small number of people deal with that black dragon?" Someone questioned.

"I need to warn you," the old knight said again, "even if we do recruit an army of five thousand men, and we don't have that much equipment to arm them, or are you going to let those militiamen fight the dragon with wooden spears and shields?" ”

After Ilea took over Greenfield, the Arias family's financial situation improved, and not long ago, they purchased a batch of weapons and armor from the Golden Fleece Chamber of Commerce.

Now these weapons and armor have been sent to Green Field one after another, but they are barely enough for the newly recruited fighters, and as for the militia, Miss Rabbit really can't take care of it.

In fact, even if the Arias family is a professional soldier, the level of weapons and equipment in the western realm is only at the level of the middle and lower reaches.

However, the opponent they had to face this time was covered with almost invulnerable scales, which also made everyone in the hall a little worried.

After a while, someone said, "Let's continue to ask the Figuerola family for help, that black dragon's strength is too strong, it is difficult to defeat it with the strength of the Arias family alone!" ”

The man's proposal was met with the approval of many people, but the girl shook her head and said, "Our only reinforcements are Sir Ferdinand and the three hundred men he brought. ”

Her words caused an uproar in the hall.

"How is this possible?!" A knight said, "Didn't you say before that the families in the Western Realm had agreed to form a coalition to crusade against the black dragon, and I heard that the commander of the coalition was just elected three days ago, and it was the second son of the Marquis, Huls. ”

"There will be no more reinforcements." Ilea repeated the previous sentence, "Have you forgotten what happened when the lizardmen surrounded Teacup Keep?" ”

When everyone heard this, their faces became ugly.

Of course, they will not forget that just four months ago, a large number of lizardmen suddenly appeared in the swamp, and those hateful robbers burned and looted everywhere in the green fields, like locusts, and many of them lost so much that they had not fully recovered until now.

Moreover, the lizardmen later ran under the teacup castle, but the Arias family's pleas for help to the nobles in the west were not answered at all except for the Bathory family.

"But this time is different," some people still don't want to die, "this coalition is organized by the Figuerola family, those big families can not care about our life or death, but they must obey the orders of the Figuerola family." ”

"If Marquis Cullen is still in the West, maybe it is." The female lord said, "But it's a pity that he's been away from Rock Snow City for a while, and no one knows where he is now or when he's going to return."

"And there isn't just one voice within the Figuerola family. Lord David did support the sending of troops, but the commander who was chosen this time was Huls, and he was not the main battle faction. ”

"But since Lord Hulse has taken over the position of commander, even if it is only for the honor of being a nobleman, he shouldn't run away, right?"

"Indeed......" the girl's voice paused.

The truth about Ruth's death involves many forces, and even has something to do with the royal family, although Ilea wants to avenge her father, she also knows the danger, so she only told Li Yu one person from beginning to end.

She didn't plan to make the matter public until she had absolute evidence, but it would be difficult for her to explain to anyone why she was convinced that reinforcements from the Figuerola family would not come.

Ilea was still looking for an excuse, and Pablo on the side was already shouting, "Where did so many mothers-in-law come from, Miss Ilea is the head of the Arias family, she makes a judgment according to the situation, as long as we are her vassals, we just need to resolutely carry out her orders, she doesn't need to explain to us." ”

Pablo belonged to the old man who had served the Arias family for many years, and he was in charge of the security of the castle until the castle changed hands, and there was no one in the whole green field who had not dealt with him, so his words still carried a lot of weight.

Although many people still have doubts in their hearts, no one asks any more questions after hearing him say this.

And Miss Rabbit on the other side also used the time Pablo bought for her to find a suitable excuse.

"I have offended Miss Angela of the Emanuel family before, and the Emanuel family has been delaying sending troops this time in order to get revenge on me.

"And I've heard that Theodosius, the head of the House of Emanuel, has a good relationship with Lord Huls, and that he is likely to use this personal relationship to get in the way. I'm not saying reinforcements won't come, but we need to be prepared for a chance that we might be alone. ”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened and felt a heavy pressure.

It took a long time before someone spoke again, and said with a look of embarrassment, "It's not that we don't want to fight hard, it's just that we don't have enough manpower, and we don't have the weapons that can break through the scales on that Dragon Mountain!" ”

His words spoke to the hearts of many people in the house, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way to take the dragon, the Arias family would not need to ask for help from the outside world.

During this time, Ilea ran around for help, and was also seen by everyone.

It's just that the end result is brutal.

Except for the Aryas family's die-hard allies, the Bathory family, not a single soldier appeared in the green field.

In fact, even if Ilea didn't say it, many people began to be suspicious of the air reinforcements who had not arrived for a long time, but no one wanted to face such a reality.

Because that would be almost the death sentence of the Arias family.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the hall, "Yes." ”

Li Yu, who had not spoken before, finally spoke, "I have a weapon on hand that is enough to hurt or even kill that black dragon." ”

"Really?!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their faces showed joy.

Although most of the people present were followers of the Silver Moon Goddess, unlike the believers in Pixia in other places, they all knew the power of Shuangxiu Sect and Li Yu.

Especially after the Silver Moon Church took great pains to organize that medical skill competition, Li Yu's name was known to everyone from the nobles to the commoners near the green field.

If there is still someone who can stand up to solve the problem now, it is probably only Li Yu and Saturday behind him.

Before she knew it, Ilea wasn't the only one who thought so.

It's just that this time the opponent is too strong, and even Miss Rabbit is not as confident in Li Yu as before.

And unlike the others, Ilea, who is the Lord of the Greens, already knew about the existence of the Sea King Halberd in advance, and the girl also admitted that this giant crossbow was very strong, and it is said that Li Yu also built four in one go.

However, this kind of giant crossbow was originally used by the Wettin family for naval warfare and attacking enemy warships, and if it was used to hunt dragons that moved more quickly and could fly, Miss Rabbit did not know how useful they would be.
