The necromancer's successful escape made James blame himself, as it meant that the future St. George Empire would face not only the northern orcs, but perhaps the constant attacks of the undead army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

You know, a necromancer is not scary, what is scary is that he has enough time and materials to make an army.

The winter grasslands are deserted, and the necromancer drills into the snowy world, and it is extremely difficult to find him as if he is looking for a needle in a haystack, and the number of orcs and humans who die every winter is innumerable, in addition to the large number of corpses concentrated on the border between the two places, there are also many corpses frozen under the soil in the grassland.

Gandalf and James were worried about this right now, humans and orcs were fighting to the death, and the necromancer would definitely not let go of this great opportunity.

"Marlowe, now that the battle of the cold winter has become uncontrollable, I will go back to the royal city to see Your Majesty later, and the material convoy will leave for and return tomorrow, and you should also take your people to Famerdos City. Gandalf suggested.

Marlowe knew that Gandalf would definitely go to the royal city immediately, but Marlowe himself could not leave yet: "I want the old man and children to leave here first, and I and the young warriors of the tribe will stay behind to help defend the cuckoo village." ”

"It's not our final line of defense, you don't have to do that," James said. ”

Marlowe sat down across from the two and said, "I know that the Cuckoo Village belongs to the first line of defense in Victor Province, just to intercept the steppe tribes at the beginning of the Cold Winter War, so that they can consume more food and physical strength. But Murray Whitehoof and they haven't come back yet, and I'll have to wait here for him to bring someone back. ”

Gandalf said, "But do you know when he'll come back?"

Murray didn't know when he left with a date to return, he just said that he was looking for as many tribes as he could unite, but he didn't know how many or where to find them.

Gandalf and James tried to persuade Marlowe, but the latter only shook his head insistently, unwilling to give up his people.

"Alas......" Gandalf smoked helplessly, knowing that Marlowe would never heed advice. "Marlowe, do you still insist on staying here and waiting for them when the first line of defense is lost? Although you are the brother of His Royal Highness the Prince, His Majesty will not change the battle plan for this reason. ”

"I know, if it's time to hold on, I'll find another way. ”

If the troops of the St. George's Empire began to retreat to the second line of defense, then the Warcry tribe would certainly not be able to continue to hold on to the cuckoo village, without supplies and personnel, what should be done at that time......

Marlowe, who was full of sorrow, suddenly remembered the black blade, and said in his heart: "Please give me a few days, if there is no news of Murray and them in a few days, I will let most of the people go to Farmedos." ”

In the end, the matter was decided, Gandalf opened the portal and went directly back to Dorus City, James accompanied Marlowe to stay in Cuckoo Village, and the original departure plan of the material convoy for tomorrow was postponed by five days.

The newly arrived cuckoo village defense chief has taken over the work from James, so James and his party have become more relaxed, and they can basically walk around the village every day, helping to train ordinary soldiers in the village by the way.

James hoped that these soldiers would be able to deal not only with the orcs, but also with the undead who might appear, after all, there had been no undead in the St. George's Empire for many years, and these ordinary soldiers were probably about to forget how to fight the undead.

Marlowe also moved to the tribe's temporary settlement with Rejay and the others, hoping to have more contact with these people and deepen their understanding of each other.

The morning before the convoy was ready to leave, Ray suddenly pushed open the door to Marlowe's room, and there was a prairie falcon standing on his arm, and Marlowe recognized the falcon with black feathers on its forehead as the one Murray had taken with them.

"Chief, my father they have sent news back. ”

When Marlowe heard this, he immediately stepped forward and took off the small piece of animal skin tied to the eagle's leg, and unfolded the animal skin, only to see that there were dense orc characters written on it. These orc characters are composed of various patterns and symbols, and the chiefs and shamans of the tribe are generally able to understand the meaning of these words. Of course, this was not difficult for Marlowe, who had to learn not only the languages of the tribes but also the languages of the tribes, as well as the orc script used for his mother's and father's correspondence.

After a quick look at the contents on the hide, Marlowe breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chief, what did my father say in the letter?"

"Why, don't you understand?" asked Marlowe, surprised. In his opinion, as the son of a chieftain and not stupid, it is impossible for Ray to not understand the above content.

Lei Jie smiled innocently and replied, "I'm stupid and can't learn these things." ”

Marlowe wouldn't believe him, and according to this guy's character of pretending to be crazy and stupid, he must not be willing to learn orc writing from the tribal shaman......

"Call them to Mecca first, I have something to say. ”

The minotaur immediately squeezed out the door to find someone, and after a while, Raj returned with Mecca and the others.

Rejay, Mecca, Rajim, Rumba, and Donnier were all present, and Marlowe tore off a piece of fresh meat and fed it to the falcon, then handed the hide to Mecca for the others to circulate.

Mecca, like Rejay, was not a serious learner, so he passed the hides directly to Rajim. Rajim didn't look at it and handed it to Rumba, who glanced at it and passed it directly to Donil, who was the only one of the five who read the letter carefully, and then returned the hide to Marlowe without saying a word.

"You ......" Marlowe was a little speechless about the performance of the four people he brought. "Okay, let's talk about it......"

"This is the news that Murray sent back, they have successfully persuaded three minotaur tribes, an orc tribe and a troll tribe to join us, the total number of people is close to three thousand, but because the other tribes have blocked the route into Victor Province, they can't come for the time being......"

Lei Jie hurriedly said, "Chief, let me bring someone over to pick them up!"

Except for Lei Jie, the other four didn't say anything, just quietly waited for Marlowe's next step.

"I'm not done yet, your father is now leading people westward, preparing to leave the steppe from the west, and then go southwest to find the exiled tribes to join him, which means that he will not come back to us this winter. ”

Most of the southwestern part of the continent is desert and next door, and when the orcs first came to this continent, they fought with the natives of the steppes, the minotaurs and the highland trolls. Some of the tribes that did not want to submit to orc rule fled to the southwest, and these tribes were collectively known as exiled tribes by the orcs.
