Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 103 Pre-War Meeting
Sean was taken aback when he saw the small print next to the bookmark.

What if Brody Mill is leading an army to attack River Beach?
Xiao En is very clear about the defense force of River Beach Town. There are only [-] newly recruited militiamen, and the weapons and armor are not very complete. The strongest Anduin only has the Black Iron Step.

It is simply wishful thinking to use this force to fight against the formed army of Shuisong Town!
As for the Flame Cross mercenary regiment stationed in River Beach Town, first, they are not professional mercenary regiments, and their performance on the battlefield is definitely not as strong as the mercenary regiment.

After all, the mercenary regiment relies on war for food.

Second, what Sean signed with them was a garrison agreement rather than a mercenary agreement that could order them to participate in the war.

Sean would definitely have to pay more gold coins to let the Flaming Cross Mercenaries enter the battlefield, but now he didn't have many gold coins on hand.

And before Brody Mill commanded the army to attack River Beach Town, he would definitely take the unstable factor of the Flaming Cross Mercenary Group into account.

So no matter how you think about it, you have no chance of winning.

What should I do next?
……

Sean paced back and forth in the bedroom irritably, thinking about solutions to the problem.

However, Sean also understands that he must remain calm and rational at this time, the more anxious he is, the more he will affect his thinking.

So Xiao En used magic to summon the water elements of the world to condense into water flows, and washed his face with these water flows, forcing himself to calm down.

After calming down, Sean sat at the desk and began to use pen and paper to calculate the next step.

Time passed by like that.

……

Half an hour later, Sean walked out of the bedroom, called Henry, the housekeeper who was just about to rest, and informed the followers to return to the study for a meeting to discuss how to deal with the invasion of River Beach Town.

Soon, Butler Henry, Luo Dian, Wen De Sole and other followers returned to the study.

Sean showed them the secret information from Sophia, and everyone's faces became serious.

Butler Henry said regretfully:
"Master, you asked me to collect information about Shuisong Town before, but I have been busy buying supplies to return to Hetan Town, so I didn't take this matter to heart.

I didn't expect such a big thing to happen now, it's all my fault! "

"It's not your fault." Sean waved his hand. "I was also at fault. I had a conflict with Brody Mill at the dinner last time, but I didn't pay much attention to it."

Sean recounts how Jessica lured Brody into being hostile to him at the dinner party.

After speaking, Sean concluded:
"It boils down to the fact that Jessica Rivers deliberately provoked Brody's hostility towards me.

Therefore, all of this may be a conspiracy of the River Family, and Brody Mill may have reached a deal with the River Family, which is why he attacked River Beach Town. "

"You're right!" the butler Henry nodded. "Could it be that the Earl of the River wants to marry his daughter to Brody, and River Beach Town is the dowry?"

Sean touched his chin and said noncommittally:

"Maybe! But no matter what kind of agreement the two families reach, we should think carefully about how to face this invasion.

Henry, how many troops do you think Shuipong Town can organize? "

Butler Henry thought for a while and said:
"According to what I know about Shuisong Town, there are less than 4000 people in Shuisong Town. There are no professional soldiers. They are all militiamen. When there is no war, they farm for a living. When there is a war, they are called into the army and become soldiers.

I estimate that there are only about 100 of these militiamen. Plus the mercenaries and ordinary farmers recruited, the number should not exceed 200 at most! "

Hearing what the butler Henry said, Sean was slightly relieved: "200 people? It doesn't seem like much."

After all, when I was in school in my previous life, one class could accommodate 100 students, and 200 students were just two classes, which was not too much.

Seeing Xiao En's expression, the housekeeper, Henry, immediately warned: "My lord, you can't underestimate them!

The strongest man in Shuisong Town is named Zu De, and he is a silver-ranked fighter.Zude alone can defeat 50 soldiers. To put it bluntly, he alone can occupy our River Beach Town! "

"I didn't underestimate them. Even without this silver-ranked powerhouse, we are no match for Shuisong Town." Xiao En said with a wry smile, "Henry, apart from the cost of buying shops and producing goods this time, we probably How many gold coins are left?"

"Let me do the math, it costs about 50 gold coins to buy ale, and 10 gold coins to buy flowers." Henry began to calculate silently.

In the end, Henry replied: We only have about 500 gold coins left. "

"That's how it is." Sean immediately made a decision: "Wendsor, tomorrow let Henry help you buy 500 gold armor and horses and return to River Beach Town, and pack up the valuable things in the territory.

After the troops from Shuisong Town arrive, you will all withdraw from Hetan Town and come to Yoen City to ensure that you have as much strength as possible. "

There is no way out of fighting the army of Shuisong Town, and the only way Sean can think of is to run away.

"My lord, what about your safety?" Wen De Sole asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I will always take Rem by my side. Rem, you will be responsible for following me to protect my safety from now on, and you don't need to worry about other things, understand?" Sean said to Voidwalker Barr.

"Understood!" Voidwalker Baal replied.

Sean nodded and looked at the others: "Luodian, Ram, your work is still the same as yesterday;
Monica, tomorrow you will go to Shuipong Town on horseback, and then pretend to sneak in. Once Shuipong Town sends troops, you must notify Hetan Town as soon as possible, and then notify me, understand? "

"No problem!" The silver attendant Monica also replied.

In fact, it is better to go to Water Pine Town to spy on intelligence and find a follower who can sneak, such as a one-cost follower [Werewolf Lurker], but Sean has no extra money to buy card packs, so he can only make do with it.

Next, Sean told everyone the details of some specific actions.

After the meeting, Sean went back to his bedroom to meditate. No matter what happened, two hours of meditation a day was a must.

But because of his unsteady mind, Sean's meditation was very ineffective, and he was interrupted several times due to distraction, greatly reducing the effect.

In the end, Xiao En simply stopped meditating and began to think about the invasion of Water Pine Town.

This was indeed the biggest crisis Sean encountered after he came to this world. If Brody occupied River Beach Town, it would be very difficult to take it back.

What should I do to break the situation?
