News that Qin and the Whistle Adventure Group encountered Orcs in the wild reached the Adventurer's House. Boss Bottom saw the evidence with his own eyes and listened to the information from Captain Charlie and the plantation guards. He did not dare to be careless and immediately summoned his men.
backbone to discuss countermeasures together.
On the fifth floor of the hotel, in the room at the end of the corridor, Bottom, the red lion, stood in front of a large map. He pointed at a curved line on the map with the handle of his pipe and said: "This is the Krill River, and this is Lake Braun.
The plantation is close to the west bank of Lake Braun. From the plantation to the west, it only takes half a day to walk to Braun Town. The Whistle Adventure Group is to eliminate three Orc scouts and Orc tribes in the black forest about 90 kilometers south of the plantation.
With three scouts dead, the location of the plantation must have been exposed, and of course our town of Braun has also been exposed..."
"Boss, you haven't fought in many years. Do you want to try your luck as a commander again?" A lean, brown-skinned half-elf joked.
The half-elf who interrupted Bottom's speech was called Max, a fourth-level dark hunter and the most outstanding scout of the Adventurer's House.
Bottom glared at Max angrily, but he still smiled playfully, with an indifferent expression. Bottom laughed angrily, pointed at Max and asked, "Come on, tell me, where did I go wrong?"
"Head, the Whistle adventure group went out camping and bumped into three orcs. The two sides fought. Two young people in the adventure group died, and they came out of our training camp. The three orcs were wiped out by Charlie and the others. What happened
It's as simple as that. It's not like we haven't met half-orcs before. I think you're too sensitive... Alas, the Red Lion is getting old after all." Max shook his head and sighed, winking at the others.
There was a circle of people sitting around the long table in the center of the room. They were either old subordinates and old friends who followed Bottom; or they were second-generation elites trained by the Adventurer's House, and they were used to joking with Bottom.
He didn't listen to his lectures seriously. Even when Bottom called everyone together to talk about the orc invaders, everyone was still absent-minded.
Max, the scout captain, likes to make fun of people; Huck, the deputy captain, is giggling beside him; Norris, the farm steward, has been thinking about his new left leg prosthesis; Cole, the doctor, is expressionless, but he is actually in a daze; George, the deputy instructor of the training camp, is
Talking quietly to John; Sarah, the fat cook, rested her head on her hands and dozed.
There was only one person in the room who was listening intently to Bottom's analysis of the intelligence, and he was Wiltok, who was sitting next to Sarah.
Why did Wiltok appear at the meeting at the core level of the Adventurer's House?
Anyway, even if he followed him in, no one would chase him away. Bottom even gave him an extra seat with a smile and specially introduced everyone here to him.
Wiltok knows all these people. But he only learned today that the usually elusive Max is a fourth-level shadow hunter; Norris, the disabled steward of the farm, is a fourth-level shield guard; plus the fourth-level swordsman Boss Bottom and
Fourth-level physician Cole and all four types of spellcasters are here.
No wonder there are more than twenty professionals in the second generation of the Adventurer House, including 3 third-level professionals, 11 second-level professionals, and 14 first-level professionals.
In addition, there are 146 awakened people under the Adventurer House, but they are not qualified to participate in this meeting.
What surprised Vertok the most was that Sarah, the fat cook who was the best to him, turned out to be the strongest person in the Adventurer's House.
Bottom did not introduce Sarah's profession, but he pointed out that Sarah, like Gang Yan of the Taku tribe, did not have the title of a venerable, but had the strength of a venerable, and was even more powerful than ordinary fifth-level professionals.
These are just the direct forces of the Adventurer House. There are more than 400 adventurers in Braun Town. Among them, awakened people account for the majority, and there are also dozens of formal professionals.
There is a guard force of 100 people stationed at the plantation, with more than 20 awakened people and 3 professionals.
The core force of Braun Town is the Taku tribe and the Hemo tribe of the Earth Mother Temple. There are nearly two hundred adult Hemo female warriors, and the combat effectiveness of each of them is at least above the average of third-level professionals; 18 Taku
There are 9 adult males in this clan, equivalent to 9 top level four professionals, and Gang Yan, the leader of the clan, has the strength of a venerable.
Everyone was originally surprised by the news of the Orc invaders. After Boss Bottom took stock of the armed forces in Braun Town, no one took the Orc invaders seriously anymore.
Bottom's idea is actually similar to everyone else. The adventurers in Braun Town have also encountered the orcs of the Blackfire Tribe before. They may have gotten lost when they came to search for barbarian supplies and entered the alliance territory by mistake; or they may have escaped from the Blackfire Tribe.
The fact that Coolie Qin and the Whistle Adventure Group killed three orcs is not enough to indicate that the Braun Town stronghold is under serious threat.
However, Boss Bottom knows how to respect the wisdom of sages. With the attitude of being careful and never making a big mistake, he still feels that some necessary precautions should be taken. However, the core senior management of the Adventurer House have a casual attitude, which makes it even more frustrating.
A sense of worry and crisis arose in his heart.
"Mayen Mayor said, be careful that this group of orcs from the outside world have nothing to eat and attack Braun Town and the plantation, which has the most abundant food. Mayor Mayen is going to send people to send the excess food and livestock from the plantation to Braun Town.
The plantation only has enough food for the winter."
Max shook his head and said: "Head, Charlie and the others met three orcs, and Mine concluded that there was a tribe of orcs migrating to the vicinity of Lake Braun? I don't think this can be said for sure... Moreover, even if there are large groups of orcs,
Orc invaders, we have strong troops and fortifications here. If they want to rob winter supplies, they are also robbing the barbarian tribes."
Huck also echoed: "Yes, the orcs will rob the barbarians first. The barbarians have no oil and water, and then they will rob Myne's plantation. If Myne is really afraid, he should move all the half-elves and barbarian female slaves from the plantation. He
What do you mean by sending food here? I don’t think he has good intentions."
Bottom glared at Hack and chuckled: "You are indeed an idiot... Myne sent someone to tell me that if we really go to war with the orcs, the adventure group in Braun Town can leave. The wealth of our people
We are all in Braun Town, are we willing to leave? Hundreds of adventurers have escaped. Who will guard the city wall and use the arrow tower? The orcs originally had to weigh it, but if Braun Town is not so strong, you
Dare you say they won’t come to bite you?”
"We can't let the adventure group leave, and we must prevent them from mutiny. We blocked the city gate, and Mine sent food, so that the adventure group can hold on with peace of mind. If Mayor Mine abandons the plantation now, all the people there will be killed.
Bring it here, if the adventure group sees it, do you feel panic?"
"Who doesn't know what the plantation guards are? If the adventure group withdraws, their morale will be so bad! We can't expect the guards to guard the city wall, right? The mayor means that he is blocking the news.
We have sealed the city gates and not blocked the news to prevent trouble from happening. The adventure group is still in disarray and cannot be of much use. If the orcs really attack, the mayor will lead the guards and barbarian slave girls to retreat to the stronghold. Anyway, the plantation is in Braun Town.
Very close.”
Boss Bottom shook his head and sighed: "Oh, you said that everyone only has one head, so why are the heads different?" He pointed at Huck, then at Max, and laughed and cursed: "The mayor's
Your heads are full of ideas, your heads are full of straw bags."
There was a burst of laughter in the room, which woke up the fat cook Sarah. She stood up from her seat and muttered: "I'm going to the kitchen to cook. Will, what do you want to eat today?"
Wiltok shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about it yet, I just want to hear what Boss Bottom said about the war with the orcs."
"Then you stay here, I'll go to the kitchen first." Sarah nodded kindly, and threatened the others: "You are not allowed to bully my Will, otherwise you will all be hungry."
Before the discussion on the orc invaders was over, the fat cook was the first to leave the room. The doctor Cole had been thinking about the formula of the medicine. He seemed to have a new idea and was anxious to go back to do experiments. He also stood up and said: "
Old leader, I have something urgent to deal with. As for the orc problem, you can just take care of it and I support your decision."
"I also want to go back to the farm... Bottom, you make your own decision."
"That's right, what does the boss say, what should we do, why do we think so much?"
Everyone was noisy and wanted to go back to do their own things and left the room one after another. Bottom was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he had no choice but to shout from behind: "I want to use the things in the warehouse!"
No one bothered to talk to the hotel owner, meaning he was left to make his own decisions.
Bottom recalled that he summoned his subordinates in the Rock Giant Legion and reported the military situation. He did not say that he would disband, so no one dared to leave without permission. The Legion emphasized discipline, but everyone retired early and went to be adventurers. The lifestyle habits in the Legion gradually
It faded away. When even the adventurers stopped working, the few remaining old friends each had their own life preferences and became free and undisciplined.
However, one thing remains unchanged: everyone's trust in Bottom, and as time goes by, this trust becomes stronger.
Over the years, the Adventurer's House has accumulated a very considerable amount of shared wealth, all of which is stored in a secret warehouse. This time, Bottom wanted to use the contents of the warehouse and issue a bounty mission to the adventure group, so he called everyone over to discuss it.
, but these guys didn't even ask, letting him figure it out on his own.
Bottom didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. He had been under pressure alone for these years, and this time the situation was a bit tricky. He hoped from the bottom of his heart that the orc invasion was a false alarm, but if nothing happened
, the Adventurer's House spent a lot of money, and he felt that his heart would not be able to bear it.
At this time, Bottom hoped that someone would jump out and sing against him, and then everyone would vote, but in the end, no one could make him worry.
The hotel owner turned around to close the door and found that Wiltok was still in the room, admiring the map alone.
"Will, aren't you leaving?"
Wiltok turned around, his amber eyes shining brightly, and suddenly nodded to Boss Bottom and said, "That's great."
Bottom asked in confusion: "What's so good?"
"You have a really good relationship," Wiltok explained.
Bottom's tangled mood suddenly felt as comfortable as if it had been ironed. He laughed and said: "They are all a bunch of lazy people. Even John was led astray by them. You must not imitate them."
Wiltok did not comment and only said: "I want to follow you these two days... I am interested in orcs and fighting."
Bottom's eyes lit up and he nodded in surprise: "Of course, no problem."
Vertok is extraordinarily handsome and has a pure mind that makes people like him. The experienced and experienced Red Lion Batom knows that he has a unique charm that can infect the half-elves around him. And Vertok
The longer we stay together, the more profound the subtle influence will be. Even a fourth-level professional like Bottom is unwilling to fight against Wiltok's charm. Because, all of this happens naturally, like warmth.
The sunshine, the gentle breeze, the sweet smell, the cool and clean water are all things that half-elves naturally like, so how can they resist?
Wiltok is a natural leader. Even if he is immature now, he can still unite people's hearts. As long as he has capable subordinates to assist him, he can completely support a force.
The problem is that Wiltok's origins are mysterious and it is unknown how many conspiracies are involved. Bottom currently does not dare to entrust the future of the Adventurer's House to him, but this does not affect Bottom's good impression of him.
, so that I have the urge to train him well.
One day later, news of the orc invaders spread in the Adventurer's House. Although this caused commotion among various adventurer groups, Boss Bottom took a series of effective measures.
He ordered three orc corpses to be hung by the city gate of Braun Town, openly for adventurers to see. However, he did not restrict the adventure group from leaving Braun Town, but the farms in the town began to strictly restrict food.
Sales. The adventure group can only purchase rations for two days at a time, and cannot purchase them again until the third day.
Now is the coldest season of the year. It snows heavily for several days at a time. The roads are covered with thick snow. It is even more difficult to obtain food in the wild. The smallest adventure group in Braun Town has more than 20 people, and it lasts for two days.
Given the time, they couldn't go far at all. The nearest supply point behind Braun Town is Jinsha Village, which is more than 600 kilometers away. The adventure group usually has to walk for ten days to reach Jinsha Village. Now it is snowing again, and the adventure group does not waste their energy.
A rapid march will take at least eight or nine days. If you encounter wild beasts and monsters along the way, adventurers who are seriously exhausted will really be doomed.
If you leave, you will definitely not be able to leave.
Before the adventurers had time to connect, Lord Gangyan, the leader of the Taku tribe, appeared in public. After looking at the corpse of the orc, he said lightly that the life sacrifice of the Earth Mother Temple this year would not be cancelled. A group of she-wolf-like Hemo girls
The warrior comes to the inn, selects partners he likes among the adventurers, and sends them invitations to participate in the Life Festival.
Immediately afterwards, more than a hundred awakened people under the Adventurer's House put on sophisticated weapons and equipment and began patrolling the city wall. Max, the secret hunter, led his scouts to the shores of Lake Braun to detect information about the orcs in the outer lands.
On the third day, Max's scouts reported for the first time and found no signs of orc activity. However, truckloads of food supplies from the plantation were transported to Braun Town.
The adventurers felt relieved when they saw that Braun Town was well-defended and had abundant supplies. Boss Bottom used his power as the branch president of the Adventure Union to issue a large number of adventure missions to the adventure group.
These missions are mainly divided into two categories. For an adventure group that accepts a security mission outside the city, two people are responsible for a guard post, and the defense is changed once every two days. The security period is two months. In addition to gold coins and meritorious deeds, the adventure reward for each security post can also be a set of
Weapons and equipment, plus an awakening potion. And Boss Bottom paid first this time. As long as the adventurer accepts the alert mission, he can immediately go to Dr. Cole, use the awakening potion, and receive a set of weapons and equipment.
The second type of mission is the city wall guard mission, which has lower risks and much lower rewards. In addition to normal money and merit, Bottom also rewards the adventure group with two battle bows and ten throwing spears.
The Adventurer's House flexed its muscles, showed off its wealth, and offered both kindness and power. In addition, the hotel clerks were adding fuel to the fire, and it quickly stabilized people's hearts.
Orcs in Outland have become a hot topic in the hotel. After various discussions and analyses, adventurers now generally believe that the possibility of orcs attacking the stronghold of Braun Town is very small. It is not certain whether there are large groups of orcs near Lake Braun.
