After the orcs killed several cavalrymen, they gradually reacted to the human cavalry, and they seemed not as powerful as they imagined?

And... it seems that there are not many people, there are only a dozen people!

Once the orc reacted, the human cavalry immediately suffered a great loss!

The following scene suddenly turned around. More and more orcs stopped their escape, turned around, and lined up to fight back towards the human cavalry.

At this time, the prairie warrior who led the team immediately responded: Run!

If you don’t run away, all these dozen people will have to explain it here!

The scene reversed and turned into more than one hundred orcs, chasing more than ten cavalrymen's butts and beating.

Fortunately, the orcs they encountered were not wolf cavalry, but some walking orc warriors. Otherwise, this team of patrol cavalry would not be able to come back!

The cavalry fled all the way, shook off the pursuers behind and rushed back to the northwest fortress.

This is probably all that happened.

...

Chen Daolin sat there, quietly listening to the narrative, without saying a word, as if he was in deep thought.

After a while, he nodded: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, go down and wash first... Those who died in battle this time will be given pensions according to the rules of the army."

Several cavalry retreated, Chen Daolin immediately walked to the table, took out a terrain map, and took a closer look.

I soon found the place where these cavalrymen encountered orcs in the narrative.

This is a fortress on the north main road, located along the northernmost line, and is about fifteen miles away from the city defenses in the northwest. This distance is already very close!

According to normal circumstances, orcs would never have the courage to come here and enter the defense zone of the Northwest Fortress.

But this time the incident was a bit strange!

With such heavy snow, there are more than a hundred orc warriors.

The orc warriors were dispatched, with more than one hundred people, and they should be a small team of temptations.

In this weather, so many orc warriors were dispatched to their own defense zone. What were the orcs doing?!

After a while, Montoya had returned, and Martin and others returned to the commander's mansion.

Montoya had assigned the city defense matters and came back to tell Chen Daolin that there were no signs of invasion of the orc army at present. At least there were no traces of orcs north of the city gate.

In other words, those more than one hundred orcs did not chase them all the way here.

But this news did not make Chen Daolin's frown frown at all!

"Martin, what do you think?"

Chen Daolin was the first to turn his attention to Martin.

Among his own men, Martin, the only one who has real military combat experience in the Roland Empire.

This one-armed knight was a cavalry officer of the serious Storm Legion. He guarded the border in the eastern fortress of the empire in his early years. He had dealt with orcs a lot. In terms of his understanding of orcs, he was also the most familiar with them.

Martin thought about it, and his face was a little serious: "According to normal, orcs should not go south in this weather... Every winter, orcs will stop robbing, and usually take place in autumn. In this weather... orcs hide in their nests, trying to get less movement, less spending, and more food. Orcs are dispatched on a large scale. And it is a team of more than one hundred orc warriors... I judge that this should be a patrol team, and... I think that generally speaking, orcs will never only send out such a team. They should have sent several teams at the same time, and this team happened to be encountered by our people."

This judgment is definitely not good news!

Chen Daolin's eyes were a little gloomy, and he nodded. He looked at Montoya again.

Montoya thought for a while: "The most urgent thing is that we need to find out the movements in the north. But... I personally think that it is not appropriate to send a small patrol team anymore, to send it out... I am afraid that our reality will be exposed instead."

Chen Daolin touched his nose, and he suddenly spoke, "I have a question: If everyone here, you are orcs, you come here and suddenly find that all the fortresses and fortresses you see are empty... What would you think?"

This question immediately hits the most worrying part of everyone!

Martin wanted to speak but stopped, but Montoya didn't care so much, and said directly: "The orcs won't think too much... When they see the fortress empty, they either take it or destroy it. However... this will definitely arouse their suspicion. Moreover, they will likely take further actions to further explore our reality."

"Yes." Chen Daolin smiled bitterly and said, "The problem is... our reality and reality cannot withstand snooping!"

Can't stand snooping!

This is everyone’s biggest weakness!

After all, our own strength is still too weak!

Although dozens of fortresses were "auctioned", it took time to mobilize their own guards, and many chambers of commerce also thought that it was already winter anyway, and after winter, it would not be too late to send people before spring.

So, to this day, less than 40% of the people actually mobilized the guards.

Even these 400 horses have not yet truly settled in the fortress in the north according to the dispatch of each family.

Is the reason? It happens to be snowing!!

With such heavy snow, no one would want to go to the north by himself and settle in those cold fortresses, drink snow water and eat dry food?

We have to wait for spring to start, the weather is warmer, the trade routes are restored, and we will move in again. At that time, the supply line will also keep up to officially move in.

So, so far, almost all the fortresses north of the Northwest Fortress are empty!!

However, the people mobilized by various chambers of commerce gathered more than 3,000 people, all of which were stationed around the southern town of the main gateway of the Northwest Fortress.

It can be imagined that if these orc patrols were found to be empty in the north...

One is empty, two are spaces, three are five, seven are eight...

After discovering so many things, orcs will inevitably figure it out even if their minds are simple!

By that time...

"Everyone, it's not the time to hide your weaknesses. Let's express your opinions." Chen Daolin's face seemed very calm: "If you work together, you might have more ideas."

As he said that, Chen Daolin looked at Baron Pierre and his son sitting in the corner.

Baron Pierre has been restored to his post, and even his title has been restored. The official documents of the imperial capital have been sent back. All the original charges have been cancelled, and the Baron's title has not changed at all.

Baron Pierre thought for a while and said slowly: "I think... the orcs may not be called. After all, it's winter now, and it's snowing so much again..."

"But now they have appeared." Montoya frowned.

"There are only one hundred orcs." Baron Pierre's son, Polomil, hesitated for a moment: "Maybe. It's just a group of orc robbers who ran out to rob and try their luck..."

"We can't put things on luck." Montoya shook his head: "When a hundred people appear, there may be a thousand people, ten thousand people... Moreover, after listening to the descriptions of those patrol cavalry, these orcs are not like those scattered robbers, and their combat effectiveness is still very good. The reaction to the battle is also quite basic! They don't look like wild robbers."

"I agree with Lord Montoya's judgment." Martin immediately said: "I participated in the training of the cavalry team. Although the young men are a little tender, they are not pussy. They can defeat them. They are definitely not wild robbers. Moreover, the team leaders are all backbones."

Chen Daolin waved his hand: "Prepare the worst plan first."

He was the boss, and he set the tone in one sentence. After hearing Chen Daolin's words, Baron Pierre thought seriously and said slowly: "If you want to make the worst plan... then I think that if these orcs are road-exploring teams sent by regular troops, then we will be in danger! The fact now is that the fortresses in the north are empty. We cannot turn out to fill those fortresses out of thin air. Even if the guards of the caravans in the south of the city are sent out to settle in the fortress, it will be too late. Besides, the number is insufficient. So... Once the orcs go south, with our current strength, they cannot resist it! My opinion is... either we retreat and give up the northwest fortress! This place is not what we should have to stay. When we go back to Lord Darling's territory, it is equivalent to hiding into the defense zone of the Nulin Province. At that time... this is a headache for General Panin."

Speaking of this, Pierre glanced at Chen Daolin, but found that the big boss's face had not changed. It seemed that when he was talking about retreating, Chen Daolin did not agree.

The old baron sighed in his heart and continued, "If you don't choose to evacuate, you can only... ask for help!"

"Who should I ask for help?"

It was Martin who spoke.

"The Tulip House, or Panin, can do whatever it is. I think neither side would want to see the Northwest Fortress broken by orcs." Baron Pierre's words were very firm.

After hearing this, Chen Daolin smiled bitterly in his heart.

He knew very well that Baron Pierre was saying a mature and stern suggestion, and could not be said to be wrong...but...

The Tulips really don't want to see the Northwest Fortress be broken by orcs?

Chen Daolin wanted to make a big question mark on this!

Judging from Du Weiwei's series of actions, she really doesn't care about the life or death of the Northwest Fortress!

Otherwise, how could she do such a ridiculous move, withdraw the entire Northwest Division, throw it out of the Northwest Fortress, and stuff it to herself?

As for Panin...

Chen Daolin frowned even more.

While on the way, he had talked to Fiona and tested the woman. The woman seemed to be very despised by Panin and thought that Panin would not take over the Northwest Fortress.

Although this female manager of the Tulips family may not have high IQ, he will never know less.

Even she said this... Then, Chen Daolin speculated that the Tulips family and Panin had reached some kind of agreement or agreement.

This is obvious by not sending troops north to take over the northwest fortress since Panin!

Logically speaking, when the Tulips' army evacuated, the one who should take over the Northwest Fortress was Panin, the Northwest Military Chief!

But he still kept his troops?!

Relying on him? It’s probably unreliable!

As for evacuation... Chen Daolin has not considered it.

But...Nulin Province is no longer the Nulin Province in the past!

The two Thunder Whip divisions were already here, and after Panin arrived, the local garrison troops were rectified and military affairs were rectified. The Nulin Province had been completely taken over by the Central Committee of the Empire.

At this time, I withdrew from the territory of Rova City... It was equivalent to throwing into Panin's arms and still wanting to continue to develop?

Uncontrolled?

It's unlikely to think about it.
To be continued...
