Chapter 4: Zalanda's Plan
"Proposal? What proposal? Roon couldn't keep up with Zalanda's train of thought for a while, and his anger not only did not suppress it, but it surged up.
For Gavin, who was following Zalanda with low eyebrows, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and he decided that everything was this kid in disguise.
"Withdraw from Fort Nott, the reason I have already said, last year the gods descended, causing the magic net to shake, the weather was abnormal, the autumn grain harvest failed, the winter was long and cold, it was almost compared to the Upper Northland, most of the area of Tether was in a food shortage, and the monster communities in the mountains were marching, and it was their limit to be able to hold on until now.
Now the siege of Fort Notte is only the surrounding small tribes, once the large groups in the deep mountains all pour out and gather into an army, we can't withdraw if we want to! Zalanda once again elaborated on her thoughts.
"Where are you going? How to run? "Rohan didn't veto this time as hard as he did yesterday.
This is thanks to the passage opened by the group of goblins just now, and now it is just a small tribe of goblins led by goblin slaves, who have made such a mess of Nott Castle that when a large number of monsters pour out, the short Nott Castle of the small castle will be flooded in minutes.
Zaranda was clearly prepared, pulled out a simple Tassel map, and said a little on it, "Dalauma, this is our best choice. ”
"Dalauma? So far? Why not go to Hansenberg? At least half the way through Dalauma. Roon's brow was twisted into a pimple.
"The reason I just said, this year's monster riots, different from previous years, the small-scale raids of previous years, as long as they hit the hard bones, they will be bypassed, giving the lords of various places a chance to break them respectively, once they are assembled into an army, they will become bolder, and they are likely to attack the city, Hansenburg claims to withstand the siege of a thousand big goblins, what if it becomes three thousand, five thousand? Only Dalauma's walls can resist the monster army. Zalanda took the trouble to explain.
Oster whispered behind Roon: "What Captain Zalanda said is very reasonable, the city of Dalauma has high walls and many defenders, although it is far away, it is important to be safe, as long as we select a cavalry, one person and two horses, and change horses without changing people, it will not take three days to arrive." ”
Without waiting for Zalanda to speak, Gavin first said in a strange manner: "Select a cavalry? One man and two horses? Listen to the commander of the guard, do you just run away by yourself, regardless of whether these people in Fort Nott live or die? ”
Roon's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Isn't it?" Or is Captain Zalanda ready to flee to Darauma with all his people? ”
"Isn't it?" Zalanda replied to Roon with a rhetorical question.
Roon and Oster stared at each other for a while, and their faces were extremely ugly.
To go to Dalauma, one person and two riders will have to run for three days, and if you drag your family with you, you will not be allowed to walk for ten days.
The longer they are exposed in the wild, the more dangerous they become.
Leaving his own people behind and running away by himself is a good thing to say, even if Roon is shameless, he can't pull this matter hard.
Zalanda was not surprised by the lower limit exposed by these two, and directly revealed his overall plan: "When I first attacked, I had already scouted and estimated the strength of the besieging monsters.
They seem to be huge, in fact, the main force is still the goblins, the real main force of the goblins, less than two hundred, as long as we find a way to defeat this goblin, the remaining goblins will scatter in a hurry, will buy us two to three days to retreat.
Out of Fort Notte, we don't go straight to Darauma, but east, in the direction of Mill Forest, and in two days at most we will reach the village of Kami, and then turn to Darauma.
It may seem like a long way to do this, but the elves of the Mill Forest will help us keep the monsters in the eastern mountains at bay, so we don't have to worry about being flanked, we just need to concentrate on dealing with the monsters that follow us.
The most dangerous part was the two-day journey from Notteburg to the village of Kami. ”
After listening to Zalanda's plan, Roon and Ostar's faces looked significantly better, at least in their opinion, this plan is very feasible.
Ostar quickly raised a new question, "Captain Zalanda just said that the premise of all this is to defeat this goblin army outside Nott Castle, what can Captain Zalanda do this?"
With only that cavalry and fifty militiamen in your hands? It's not that I look down on those militiamen, if I rely on the city wall to deal with those goblins and cannon fodder, they are quite competent, and if I let them out to fight with an enemy several times my size, I am afraid that it will be of great use. ”
Zalanda nodded again and again: "The chief of the guard is very right, with the equipment in the hands of the militia alone, if you want to fight in the field, it is indeed difficult for a strong man, even if you achieve the final victory, it will be completely lost, but if it is combined with the equipment in the treasure house of Nott Castle, the situation will be greatly improved, after all, these goblins have just poured out of the marching mountain range, and even those goblins don't have a few decent weapons in their hands, and the inferior weapons of those goblins can't even break the middle armor." ”
"No, absolutely not." Roon's voice narrowed by three points, and he said in a loud voice, "The equipment in the treasure vault, but the Noether family has spent three generations accumulating, how can it be used casually?" Especially to a group of militiamen! ”
This time, even Ostar couldn't help Roon speak, they were all ready to retreat from Notteburg, and Rohan was still guarding his treasure trove and was reluctant to use it, was he going to move away together? Or is it left to the monster army that is about to take over here, let them equip themselves and hunt them down?
"In this matter, I support my brother, after all, there is also a part of me." Gavin, who had been an observer, jumped out at this time and said, "But, dear Brother Roon, have you ever thought about how to transport this equipment out?"
The equipment inside is not a small amount, especially those reloaded, a carriage can not hold a few pieces, and we can't leave those monsters, destroy even more sorry for our ancestors?
Sister Zalanda, she didn't say that she would not pay it back, at most she was seconded, and when she arrived in Dalauma, she would return the original amount, and when the time came, it would not only protect our safety, but also transport as much equipment as possible to Lauma, whether it was sold or hoarded, it was still up to us to have the final say, compared to these benefits, what was a little depreciation during this period? ”
How could Zalanda not hear it, Gai Wen spoke for Roon, in fact, he was helping himself, and hurriedly nodded and agreed: "It is indeed just a loan, as long as you escort all the lords to Dalauma, you will return all the weapons and armor, the original number, and when the time comes, all the lords will remember the kindness of Lord Baron, one day, the monsters will be driven back to the mountain, I believe that many people will be grateful for this kindness, follow Lord Baron back to Fort Notte, and continue to serve Lord Baron." ”
Luo Ang was completely Scrooge's instinctive reaction just now, and he was not really stupid, so he went down the slope and said: "Since you all said so, I don't allow it anymore, it's impersonal, but I have a request." ”
"What requirements? The Baron said. Zalanda's face flashed with a hint of joy that could not be concealed, the sooner she did the work of Trongron, the sooner they could act, and the more sure she was of retreating with the people of Fort Notte.
