That's very badass

Chapter 76 New stronghold
"Sir, do you think this is a cover-up trick by the trolls? They have already joined forces with the orcs."

"It's almost impossible. Look at the ground under your feet, Vasili. It's a good habit for scouts to question everything, but you have to learn to judge based on the situation."

Roland once suspected that all of this was a cover-up by the trolls, but considering the special circumstances here, it is impossible and will not be possible for the trolls to settle in this land that is about to be deserted.

As for collusion, it wouldn't have been possible 300 years ago, and it's even less likely now; they wouldn't be allied with a race that was going extinct.

I'm afraid that the orcs are already in chaos. They must be starting a chaotic war to compete for the few lands that humans have developed.But before long, under the threat of survival, they will unite under one banner and launch a desperate charge towards the North Wind Fortress.

This kind of orc at the time of life and death, is afraid that it will explode with unparalleled power, and the North Wind Fortress, which is like a moat, is afraid that the orcs will fill a road with corpses and go over the North Wind Fortress.

Thinking of these things, Roland couldn't help but feel a little worried. This matter must be reported to the kingdom immediately, so that they can be more vigilant, and at the same time send more troops to the North Wind Fortress.

However, he did not have any identity to send letters to the king. If he was a pioneering lord, even if they were sent to the king, these letters would be ignored by him.

Because no one knows whether these pioneering lords are still there in the near future, or they may have been wiped out by alien races. Dealing with these is obviously a waste of time in the eyes of the king.

Roland does not regret his attitude towards Whinette. Although now is not a time for internal conflict, he has conspired first, so why can't people respond verbally?

'If I go to talk to him now, Viscount Whitnet will definitely think that I have some deeper conspiracy. '

Considering that such a situation would indeed occur due to the urinary nature of these nobles, Roland gave up the idea of ​​peace talks.It seems that the only way to cope with all changes is to remain unchanged. We must show our strength as soon as possible to let him use the enemy's weapon and give up the idea of ​​using force against him.

It is estimated that it takes 10 days to go from the territory to the North Wind Fortress. If you want to come here, the estimated time is about the same.There should be no other orcs around here, they should all gather there.

Considering the possible chaos of the orcs and the scale of desertification of the orc prairie, Roland still planned to go to investigate, but it was inconvenient to lead other infantry, because they couldn't run away from the orcs.

Only by fully understanding the situation of the orcs can he judge the timing of the orcs' attack, but he must be well defensive on this side of the passage.

Roland was not very worried that the orcs would find this place, because the huge number of orcs could not be fully deployed due to the size of the hole, which cut off their greatest advantage.

In most cases, Roland is not worried that the orcs can break through here, not to mention that they can use thick smoke to defend; and dig a big hole in the ground, set traps in it, and use a suspension bridge to defend.

In short, there are many methods. Even if they don't use them, the orcs who can't take advantage of their numbers will eventually be blocked by the corpses of their own people.

The difficulty of breaking through here is probably even higher than the difficulty of attacking Beifeng Fortress.If they want to keep using troops against the orc prairie, they have to occupy the two openings of the passage.

Because the cave on the orc side is occupied by orcs, they will face the same dilemma.Just wanting to defend that side is not an easy task.

All they can rely on is the advantage of the city wall.

In the end, Roland still planned to establish a solid defense first, and then build a fortress here. When the situation is unfavorable, they can also calmly withdraw and rely on the geographical advantage to defend.

Although this may take up a large number of their combatable soldiers, Calradia, as a stable training ground, can still rely on recruits to maintain law and order and patrol the city walls.

It is also considered useful.

An idea came to Roland's mind, that is to burn the food of the orcs, but now is not a good opportunity to burn the food of the orcs, not to mention that he does not have the strength.

Presumably, the orcs, who were short of food, would be strictly guarded, not to guard against humans, but to guard against other starving aliens and hungry warriors of the same race.

Even if the orc's granary is burned down now, it will only speed up the madness of the orc. He still needs a lot of time to accumulate strength.

But when the orcs have already started to attack the Northwind Fortress, then all these worries will not exist. You can't expect the already crazy orcs to become even more crazy, because that is meaningless.

Even crazy and hungry orcs will become more vulnerable.

It's just that all of this is only in the imagination, and there may not be a chance to do so at that time.

"All the cavalrymen come with me, and the others go back to the passage with me to collect materials on the spot and prepare to build a stronghold.

Vasili temporarily takes the position of commander of the stronghold, and if he does well, he will become a full-time member. If he fails to do well, he will be replaced naturally. "

"Yes, my lord, promise to complete the task."

Thinking that he has become a stronghold commander, Vasily felt very excited. Even Andal, who is the adult's companion, is now just a stronghold commander.

He has finally become a commander himself, and he was promoted again today after being promoted just yesterday. It seems that he completed the previous investigation mission very well, which made the adults very satisfied.

Otherwise, this kind of thing might not necessarily fall on me, so I immediately made up my mind to complete the adult's task well.

The plan could never keep up with the changes. Vasili was appointed as the scout captain just before he was appointed, but he was replaced by the commander later; but fortunately, this is a promotion and will not leave any bad influence.

Although this place itself is a quarry, the stones needed to build a fort are still far from enough, and they themselves lack manpower.

Roland finally decided to build a temporary wooden fortress according to the previous method, and then arrange to build a stone wall after the kobold slaves arrived.

In order to increase the strike area, Roland planned to build a two-layer city wall, with one layer higher than the other. The first layer was only 5 meters long, making it easier to observe when the enemy would launch an attack and attack enemies hiding in the cave entrance.

The second floor is 8 meters, which can cooperate with the first floor to attack the orcs protruding from the hole. At the same time, the overall height of the first floor is raised to 5 meters, which is convenient for the second floor to attack and regain the first floor after the first floor is lost. layer.

Behind the second floor is a slope, which is also for faster support and recovery, and at the same time can carry out long-range strikes on enemies without cover.

As for the third floor, if it is higher, the price will be too high, so I will not consider it for now.

When Roland told Vasili all these requirements, he also asked him to consult Governor Fox if he had any questions, because the Governor was very knowledgeable about engineering.
