After handling the mission's affairs, Todd went to the soul space without stopping and began to summon the people of the Froststone Tribe.
In the underground temple, Todd sat on the throne, Rachel stood on his left, Alfonso stood on his right, and the others stood in awe in the center of the temple, waiting for instructions.
Waving his hand to open a 3D projection over the temple, Todd pointed to the mountains of weapons and armor in the screen and said: "Three days later, there will be a convoy carrying this equipment, setting off from the Watch Castle and walking along the plank road of the Falling Star Mountains.
north."
Looking at these well-made and high-quality equipment, the old barbarian warrior Fried swallowed: "When our people face the Ulster army, they always lose more than they win. Speaking of the reasons for our failure, some people say that we
We are timid, and some people say we are stupid.”
Fried looked at Todd in the seat and said excitedly: "But what they don't know is that our tribe grew up in deep mountains and dense forests. Our enemies are war beasts and disasters. Death and misfortune are like eating and drinking."
Water is commonplace, so how can we, who are struggling to survive in this environment, be afraid of battle and clumsy? Our biggest disadvantage is that we do not have excellent weapons and armor!"
Casper, who once belonged to the Holy Acropolis Army, whispered to himself suspiciously: "A convoy starting from the Watch Fortress?"
When he saw clearly the coat of arms of the armor in the picture, he couldn't help but gasped: "These are the equipment of the Holy Guard City!"
Todd put down his hand, and the projection over the temple ended immediately. He said to everyone: "The most the convoy can do is transport these weapons and armors out of the Watch Fortress. We have to find a way to transport them ourselves. It's been snowing heavily these days.
Mountains, plus the difficulty of traveling south from the camp, do you have any way to transport these things back?"
The old shaman Minnie smiled and said to Todd: "Chief, it's because of the heavy snow that the originally difficult and dangerous road can be smoothed out."
Todd asked strangely: "The heavy snow is conducive to transportation. Why is this?"
Minnie explained: "After the heavy snow, the swamps that were originally difficult to pass will freeze into permafrost, and the bumpy mountains will be covered with snow and become soft paths. In addition, there are more and more big families in the barbarian camp.
Most people will keep a few dogs, and as long as they make a sled at short notice, they can travel smoothly on the land."
Todd suddenly realized that there were three sledding fools in this different world.
After confirming that there were no problems with the equipment transportation, Todd began to ask about the current situation of the camp.
The quick-talking Ackerman first reported on the development of the camp: "Including gladiators and barbarians, the number of people in the camp has exceeded 700. Thanks to the food and supplies shipped from the south, every household now has
Everyone has tents to live in, food to eat, and herbs for those who are sick. Due to the cold weather and frozen ground, construction in the camp only started on two buildings. One is the tribal longhouse used to organize meetings, and the other is
One is your residence, boss."
Todd was a little surprised: "Residence? You mean that small building?"
"Yes, the drawings were given to us by Lord Rachel. We are currently laying the foundation and arranging the wood. I heard that the cement and furniture will be shipped in a few days. I believe it will be completed before the end of this year."
Todd glanced at the woman next to him, Rachel pretended not to notice his actions, her face still had a calm expression.
Casper's second report was in keeping with his usually taciturn character: "The gladiators are training and preparing for battle, but you are not in the camp, which makes them a little uneasy."
Ackerman added at this time: "Boss, I know that the gods are very busy, but it is best if you come back more often when you are free. Although there is no shortage of food and supplies in the camp, people discuss the most important things every day.
The topic is when will you return."
Todd nodded, indicating that he understood, and then turned his attention to Freed and Minnie.
Fried bowed and said loudly happily: "I have spread the story of Chief Boyle to others. Every day, people from far away places come to Froststone Camp to join us. If it weren't for
Because of the heavy snow, there will be even more people."
Minnie was obviously not that optimistic: "Patriarch, there is one thing you must know. The land we are on cannot grow crops, and hunting is not convenient. As the population gradually increases, food and supplies will become increasingly scarce.
, how to ensure people’s living needs is an extremely important prerequisite.”
Todd listened to the words of these two people and fell into deep thought. Food in the barbarian camp was indeed a big problem.
Although there are only 700 people at the moment, when next spring comes, the snow melts and the earth returns to spring, more people will surely come to seek refuge in Boyle's name.
However, the food supply for the entire camp relies solely on cargo ship transportation, which will definitely not be able to meet future needs. We must find ways to open up new sources of food.
Todd looked at Alfonso again, wanting to hear his report.
Unexpectedly, the latter said something that shocked everyone present: "The Ulster army may launch a surprise attack on the camp."
Ackerman exclaimed: "A raid?!"
Todd stared into Alfonso's eyes and said solemnly: "Tell me your basis."
"Five days ago, scouts from the Kingdom of Ulster were discovered for the first time twenty kilometers away from the camp in the north. Three days ago, a large number of scouts came to a place five kilometers away. The Successor Guards fought with them and wiped them out.
There are a total of seventy-two enemy troops, and we have no casualties. But just yesterday, two groups of scouts appeared near the camp, so I guess Ulster is planning to attack the camp."
Ackerman shook his head and said: "I really don't understand that Conchieber. Ulster and Connaught are already in a state of imminent war. He actually has the intention to attack us?!"
Todd somewhat understands the willful King of Ulster, for no other reason than the series of events that occurred in the arena, which completely hurt Conchieber's self-esteem. It is natural for the other party to seek revenge at all costs.
.
Todd said to Alfonso: "Do you know roughly when the other party will launch the attack?"
Alfonso shook his head and said: "There is no way to predict this."
The transportation of equipment, the unrest in the camp, the source of food, and the shadow of the raid, these four things are like four mountains, weighing on Todd's heart.
Catching a glimpse of Todd's face, Rachel lowered her head and whispered in his ear with a smile: "How about you come to the north recently?"
Todd turned his head and looked at Rachel: "Is it possible that you have something going on there?"
Rachel shook her head, and what she said made Todd's teeth itch: "I have nothing to do. I am just your beautiful little lover. She keeps chanting the name 'Boyle' in her dreams."
"I'm not Boyle!"
"At night, if you blow out the candles, if you don't tell me, and if I don't tell you, who will know..."
