That's very badass

Chapter 46 Setting Up an Outpost
The daylight gradually dissipated, and the night was coming. Slowly, as the last ray of sunlight dissipated, the night shrouded the forest.

Tonight's moon is a bit dim, maybe the dense forest obscures the moonlight, maybe it is so dim in the first place.

The rest of the team finally rushed over.

They took off their armor or leather armor, wore wet and thin clothes, and sat around the fires one by one, holding hot water in their hands to replenish water first.

Then the farmers brought out the steaming food one by one, and they began to eat.

In a room, the three of Roland sat together around a fire.

He didn't want to specialize, or eat some exquisite food alone, it's just that the content of their conversation is inconvenient for the soldiers to know.

After taking a sip of hot water, Roland exhaled contentedly, and said, "What do you think about the disappearance of the troll?"

Regarding this matter, Milon, who had only heard Roland's dictation, did not express any opinion. In his opinion, this matter still needs to be carefully investigated before the result can be known.

On the contrary, Andal said indifferently: "Whatever their damn trolls are, the important thing is that we have occupied this place now."

After taking a sip of ale, Andal continued, "They can fight if they want to fight. Aren't we here just to fight them? What's more, we are the defenders now, and we have the advantage in city defense. They want to Take it back? It depends on whether we agree or not."

Hearing Andal's disdainful words, Roland nodded in agreement.

Before we took the initiative to attack the trolls, we didn't have to be afraid of them. Now that we have occupied the city, we don't need to be afraid of them.

It's impossible for these trolls to hide in any corner, let us occupy the city first, and then attack us later, right?

This kind of thinking is too much to treat trolls as human beings, but although trolls are not human, they still have a certain amount of wisdom, as you can see from the cities they built.

Speaking of the city, Roland thought of the traps they arranged, which made him more sure that those trolls had left here from an unknown place to humans.

After all, this is a land that humans have never set foot on. It is very possible that they have some secret passage.

As for whether they ran away in fear, judging from their strongholds and cities, it is basically impossible, because they have at least thousands of people.

Most likely it was because of something that made them decide to leave here, but these are not important now.

Judging from the huge statues they made, because they gave up spending countless statues, it must be impossible to come back.

Because after this place belongs to human beings, if they want to take it back, they will inevitably pay a heavy price.

"That's a good point, except for this matter.

Also, I plan to occupy the two strongholds established by the trolls in the forest as our outposts.

Its only function is to defend against our compatriots. "

Speaking of this, Roland was a little frustrated, although it didn't take much effort to seize the land from the alien race.

Now it is necessary to use foreign strongholds to guard against human beings, which has to be said to be a kind of irony.

If people know that the trolls here have withdrawn, and they don't have enough strength to protect the whole territory, soon, 'exploitation territories' will be built everywhere around them, and all the achievements will be divided up.

Maybe, he will let himself and others die in the hands of trolls. '

These words made Mirlon a little confused, and immediately asked: "Then how can we prevent them from going deep into the Evernight Forest?"

Regarding this problem, Roland has no good solution: "We can only choose to occupy the two strongholds of the trolls, and then send soldiers to patrol the forest every day to stop them as much as possible."

According to the current strength of the troops, even if they were doubled, they would not be able to completely blockade the Evernight Forest. They could only block the forest to a limited extent.

But as long as someone knows that the troll has evacuated here, there will definitely be a steady stream of people coming to investigate. They will enter from places that we cannot block or loopholes until the news is confirmed.

At least, for now, here is still safe, but this time will not be very long, but it will not be short.

Time is running out and they must act now.

Soldiers must also be recruited every day, even if there is not enough equipment, but a wooden spear and a wooden shield are always available.

"You two, each chooses a stronghold, and now I can only allocate 50 soldiers and 200 civilians to each of you.

And there are not so many folk husbands now, but I will give you priority to fill them up within 4 days.

For the time being, you only need to patrol the vicinity of the stronghold and the blockade of the connected roads.

As for the peasants, let them do the farming first in the spring, and they can also help you with other affairs when they are free.

You must intensify the training of soldiers in normal times so that they can be promoted as soon as possible.

You can also let them build their own wooden shields and wooden spears to arm themselves, and serve as armed militias to assist you in defense, but all this must be established after spring plowing. "

Roland did some calculations, 40 new recruits per day, 280 new recruits a week, and then continued: "From next week onwards, I will add some new recruits to you every day, 20 each time.

I will directly assign you soldiers who can be directly promoted to Tier 2. As for the promotion to melee or ranged, you can decide for yourself.

As for the upper limit of soldiers, it is tentatively set at 200, and some should be left for farmers to cultivate here, and eventually form a gathering point. "

Roland originally wanted to directly allocate half of their Tier 2 infantry and archers, but considering that he was far away from this place, he decided to leave them alone and let them choose for themselves.

After all, they are stationed here and know exactly what kind of soldiers they need.

"Okay, my lord, we will hurry up the training, and the direction of promotion will be determined according to the needs."

Regarding Roland's arrangement, they thought it was very good.

"Sir, in order to better distinguish these two strongholds, at least there should be a name."

Facing Andal's request for a name, Roland thought for a long time but couldn't think of a name that satisfied him. As for letting them choose their own name, they were the same, unable to choose a name.

But Andal, the birdman, insisted on a name. Roland had no choice but to give him two directional names.

They are Yongye North Castle and Yongye South Castle.

The Eternal Night North Fort is in the north of the Eternal Night Forest, and is garrisoned by troops led by Milon

South Fort of Eternal Night is in the south of the Forest of Eternal Night, guarded by troops led by Andal.

Before they objected, Roland told them that this was the final decision and he would not accept rebuttals!
Mirlon had no idea about this, and Andal remembered the name he had chosen, and could only accept it.

That's how it was settled.
