"Proposal? What proposal?" Luo Ang failed to follow Zalanda's train of thought for a moment. His anger, instead of suppressing it, was rising.
Gavin, who was following Zalanda with a low eyebrow, became more and more angry as he looked at her, believing that this boy was pretending everything.
"I have already mentioned the reason for withdrawing from Fort Nott. The arrival of the gods last year caused the magic network to shake. The weather was disordered and abnormal. The autumn food harvest was poor. The winter was long and cold. It was almost worse than in the Northland and most of Tethyr. They are all suffering from food shortages, and the monster groups traveling in the mountains have been able to persist until now, which is their limit.
Now those who are besieging Fort Nott are only the surrounding small tribes. Once the large tribes in the mountains all emerge and form an army, we will not be able to withdraw no matter how much we want to! ” Zalanda again elaborated on her thoughts.
"Where to run? How to run?" Luo Ang did not object as strongly as yesterday.
This is thanks to the passage opened by the group of goblins just now. Now it is just a small tribe of goblin slaves led by the hobgoblins. They have made Nott Castle such a mess. If a large number of monsters pour out, the small castle of Nott Castle will be in such a mess. The castle will be flooded in minutes.
Zalanda was obviously prepared. He pulled out a simple Tessel map and pointed on it: "Dalauma, this is our best choice."
"Dalauma? So far away? Why not go to Hansenburg? It's at least half the distance away from Dalauma." Luo Ang's brows knitted into a knot.
"The reason I just said is that this year's monster riots are different from previous years. The small-scale robberies in previous years will be bypassed as long as they encounter hard bones, giving the lords from various places the opportunity to defeat them separately. Once they gather into an army, their courage will be If it grows bigger, it is likely to capture the city. Fort Hansen is said to withstand the siege of a thousand giant goblins. What if it becomes three thousand or five thousand? Only the walls of Dalauma can withstand the monster army." Zalanda took the trouble. explained.
Ost whispered behind Roang: "What Captain Zalanda said makes sense. The city of Darauma has high walls and many defenders. Although it is far away, the most important thing is safety. As long as we select a cavalry team, One person and two horses, changing horses without changing people, can arrive in less than three days."
Before Zalanda could speak, Gavin said in a strange tone: "Choose a cavalry group? One person and two horses? According to the captain of the guard, you just want to run away, and don't care about the life and death of the people in Fort Nott?"
Roang's eyes widened and he asked with disbelief: "Isn't it true? Or is Captain Zalanda planning to take all the people in his territory and flee to Darauma?"
"Isn't it?" Zalanda answered Luo Ang with a rhetorical question.
Luo Ang and Oster stared at each other for a while, their expressions extremely ugly.
To go to Darauma, it would take three days for one person and two people to ride. If you are dragging your family with you, you would not have to walk for ten days.
The longer they are exposed in the wild, the more dangerous they become.
Leaving his subjects behind and escaping on his own, this matter is easy to talk about or not. No matter how shameless Luo Ang is, he can't force the matter.
Zalanda was not surprised by the low limits exposed by these two men, and directly revealed his overall plan: "When we just launched the attack, I had already scouted and estimated the strength of the monsters besieging the city.
They look huge, but in fact, the main force is goblins. There are less than two hundred hobgoblins who are really the main force. As long as we find a way to defeat this hobgoblin, the remaining goblins will disperse in a rush and will fight for us. Allow two to three days for your retreat.
After leaving Fort Nott, we did not go straight to Dalauma, but walked eastward toward Mir Forest. In two days at most, we could reach Kami Village, and then transfer to Dalauma.
Doing this may seem like a long detour, but the elves in Mir Forest will help us block the monsters in the eastern mountains. We don't have to worry about being flanked, and we only need to focus on dealing with the monsters following us.
The most dangerous thing is the two-day journey from Fort Nott to Kami Village. "
After hearing Zalanda's plan, Roang and Ost looked much better. At least in their opinion, this plan was very feasible.
Oster quickly raised a new question, "Captain Zalanda just said that the premise of all this is to defeat the goblin army outside Fort Nott. What did Captain Zalanda do to do this?" a little?
With just that cavalry and fifty militiamen in your hands? It's not that I look down on those militiamen. If they rely on the city wall to deal with the goblin cannon fodder, they are quite competent. If they are released to fight in the field with enemies several times their size, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing and useless. "
Zalanda nodded repeatedly and said: "The analysis of the captain of the guard is very correct. It is really difficult to fight in the field with the equipment in the hands of the militiamen. Even if they win the final victory, they will be completely destroyed. But if we cooperate with the treasure house of Nott Castle With the equipment in hand, the situation will be greatly improved. After all, these goblins have just emerged from the marching mountains. Even the big goblins don't have a few decent weapons in their hands. The inferior weapons of those goblins can't even break through medium armor. "
"No, absolutely not." Luo Ang's voice was three points sharper and he said loudly, "The equipment in the treasure house has been accumulated by the Nott family for three generations. How can it be used casually? Especially for a group of people. militia!"
This time, even Ost could not speak for Roang. They were all preparing to retreat from Nott Castle. Roang was still guarding his treasure house and was reluctant to use it. Could it be that he was planning to move away together? Or should you leave it to the monster armies that are about to occupy this place, equip them with equipment, and hunt you down?
"I support my brother in this matter. After all, there is also a part of me in it." Gavin, who had been listening in, jumped out and said, "But, dear brother Luo Ang, have you ever considered how to Shipping this gear?
The amount of equipment inside is not a small amount, especially the heavy equipment. A carriage can only hold a few pieces. We can't leave it to those monsters. If we destroy it, what more will we do to our ancestors?
Sister Zalanda, she didn’t say that she would not return the money after she was separated. At most, she was on secondment. When she arrives at Darauma, she will return the original amount. At that time, she can not only protect our safety, but also transport as much equipment as possible. Rauma, at that time, whether it was selling or hoarding, it was still us who had the final say. Compared with these benefits, what is a little depreciation during this period? "
How could Zalanda not understand that Gai Wenming pretended to speak for Roang, but was actually helping him? He nodded quickly and agreed: "It is indeed just a loan. As long as we escort all the people in the territory to Darauma, we will transfer all the weapons and armor to the original number." Return it. When the time comes, all the people in the territory will remember the kindness of the Baron. One day, the monsters will be driven back to the mountains. I believe that many people in the territory will be grateful for this kindness and follow the Lord Baron back to Fort Nott to continue serving the Lord Baron. .”
Luo Ang just had the instinctive reaction of a miser, but he was not really stupid. He walked down the slope and said: "Since you have said so, it would be unkind if I don't allow it anymore, but I have a request."
"What's the request? Just say it, Lord Baron." A hint of joy flashed across Zalanda's face. The sooner she started working on Thong Luang, the sooner they would be able to take action, and she would be more confident - ——The certainty of safely leading the citizens of Fort Nott to retreat.
