Chapter 91 third chapter
"This sentence doesn't seem to be very good!"
Despite Ghisien's comments, most of the orcs fell to the ground.The way they fell to the ground one after another made this place look like a huge battlefield, but unlike the battlefield, none of the fallen orcs had wounds on their bodies.During this period, all the people who had fallen on the steps got up.Among them, an old man with beautiful white hair like a wild wolf's mane and a white beard stood up, pointed at Kigored and said, "Then, is that really a fake?"
True or false?Is there anything else that is fake?Carl smiled openly and nodded: "Yes, that is really fake. I am Carl Hetant."
"Ah, Ben, I am the mayor of Carnadin, Caleros Antigol."
"Nice to meet you, Mayor."
The mayor was relieved to see all of us calm, and shook Carl's hand.After Carl shook hands with the mayor of Antigol, he said, "Although I really want to talk to the mayor, I have to deal with those orcs first."
"Ah, yes, please."
Karl immediately turned to Alfred and spoke to him in a low voice.That voice was immediately amplified to become Gigored's voice, resounding through the sky.
"Get out of this city right now! Never come back again! I want to occupy this city! Anyone who approaches the dragon's residence, no matter if he runs on two or four legs, I will kill him!"
Only then did I realize that the legend of King Lutanio is not exclusive to humans.Even one or two crazy ones will come out among the orcs, and those orcs may be called heroes after a long time.
But no matter what, it was a long time later. The reality on the spot now is that a half-orc with some brain problems raised a heavy sword and ran out yelling.
The half-orc was much taller than the others, almost human-like, with a black helmet on his head.Its cry resounded throughout the plain.
"Zhizhi! This is such a big scam!! You are not a dragon! Zhizhi!"
This is no joke.Although the voice was very thin, we on the city wall could hear it clearly.The straight-line distance from where the orc stood to the city wall was about one or two hundred cubits, so this orc was definitely a monster.Then the crazy orc's shoulders began to swell like they were going to burst.
"Oh my God!"
Ai Saihande's exclamation came.Then the half-orc threw the broadsword at Kigored with all his strength.No matter what kind of hero, even if I put my OPG on Ryan Burke in Lutanio's eight stars and ask him to throw it, it is unlikely to hit the dragon flying so high.Regardless of the height, just the sense of oppression brought by the dragon's huge majesty makes people dare not do this.But the half-orc with the black helmet actually did it!The blade of the broadsword gleamed against a background of black fields.
Swish——!
Like a flash of light, the broadsword flew straight through Kigored's body.Of course Kiegored wasn't doing much at all.The big knife sliced through the air, made a loud noise and then fell to the ground.when!
After a while, Gigored, who was floating in the air, disappeared without a trace.The illusion that no one believed would have gone away.The half-orcs who fell on the ground got up slowly but fiercely.There was a burst of cheers and thunder, so loud that people felt that there was an earthquake in the wilderness.Although it was far away to hear what they were shouting, it was certain that all the orcs were very happy.The cry of "cheep, cheep! cheep!" can also be discerned.Karl turned to look down with a bitter face, and Avned also showed a displeased expression.Amidst the loud cheers, the half-orc wearing a black helmet roared loudly to the sky: "Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!"
"These guys must be overjoyed."
Geraint said this with pure joy.It looked as if the orc was in a good mood, and his mood got better too.So Shan Sen glared at Gerent, the corners of his mouth began to tremble.But the moment the half-orc in the black helmet yelled again, Shan Sen opened his mouth wide in surprise.We also all forgot about the debunking of Avnedd's magic.Although the cry of the half-orc in the black helmet was much lower, it could still be heard clearly.
"Cheep! O Valentha! And friend of the orcs, holy Hendrik! These two are protecting me. Cheep! These dirty deceptions! Don't do it again! Squeak! Come down with the truth! The gun is the real knife, let's fight with blood! Squeak!"
"Don't tell me what I just heard, you heard it too. I'm enough for a mentally abnormal person." "It seems to be. Actually, I'm also wondering if I'm crazy." While Shan Sen was talking to me about these nonsensical words, Karl ran forward desperately, as if he was about to commit suicide by jumping off the city wall.Karl stretched his entire upper body out of the city wall, looking at the orcs.Then he drew back as fast as he had run forward, and said, "Avned! Can you amplify my voice to them?" "No. I've run out of this magic." "Damn! What shall we do then? If they are to be called here . . . At this time Wen Chai stood up.He said to Carl in a low voice, "Huh? Ah, yes. Those orcs mentioned Hendrick's name..." Wen Chai ignored Carl's words and said, "Then I'll pass on the message for you. What do you want to ask them?" "Huh? Ah, do you want to help me send a message? Then can you ask me what they mean by the friend of the half-orcs, Saint Hendrick?" Wen Chai immediately jumped up lightly and stood on the battlement.Wen Chai took a deep breath and raised his arms to show that he had no intention of attacking.The mayor of Antigol said to Carl with a displeased expression, "Look, Mr. Hetante. I thought I was the person in charge here." Ah.Not so long ago, when Kiegored was around, he acted as if he had given Karl all the responsibility.I gave the mayor a displeased look, but Carl just said calmly and rationally: "Ah, I'm sorry, Mayor of Antigol. Please allow me to only ask this question, please rest assured. I am not trying to interfere with other The soldiers or the chain of command of the city. That soldier is my partner, but I ask him to ask the orcs a question..." "But you are a guest of our city, isn't it natural to act according to the master's instructions? Besides, the city is currently at war..." The mayor of Antigol said with a firm face.But Wen Chai seemed to ignore him at all. He took a deep breath, and began to yell, "Hey! Goblin!" I felt my whole head vibrate.The mayor of Antigol originally wanted to say something, but now he could only groan with his mouth wide open. "Woo... woo..." "Oh, my ears!" Ai Saihande screamed, quickly blocked his ears and retreated.Athelhand's ears seemed to be very sensitive.The others also made painful expressions and stepped back.The mayor, his entourage, and Captain Ross all wrinkled their faces and retreated to both sides, because standing on the city wall, there was no way to retreat behind.I saw Karl running back with his hands over his ears, still smiling. After Wen Chai yelled so loudly, the noise of the orcs below gradually subsided. The half-orc with the black helmet looked up and shouted, "Squeak, human who stinks! What do you want to say?" Although the voice was very weak when it reached here, it was still very clear.Shan Sen said with a mocking expression: "It's ridiculous that someone wants to talk to someone who is 1,200 cubits away. What's even more ridiculous is that this thing actually came true." Although Shan Sen muttered to himself, I thought it was a good subject for poetry.Under the dark blue morning sky, in the vast wilderness of the eastern woodlands, Wenchai shouted from the battlements.The mayor of Antigol shook his head, as if he wanted to say something more, but Wenchai started to shout again: "Orc, what does Saint Hendrick mean?" "You guys, Zhizhi, are you qualified to mention his name casually?" "What I like to say is my business! Answer it quickly! You said..." At this moment, the mayor of Antigol probably became impatient with his lack of opportunity to speak, grabbed Wen Chai's waist and pulled him down.Wen Chai staggered and managed to get down safely, but an angry look began to appear on his face, and he rudely shook the mayor's hand away.The mayor also began to tense up and put on a defensive posture, and the entourage quickly surrounded the mayor.Although Wen Chai was about to hold the hilt of the sword, he put it down again and said viciously, "What are you doing?" The mayor made a dumbfounding expression again.Alas, mayor, you must have looked into Wen Chai's eyes.The mayor unconsciously lowered his head and stepped back.He coughed a few times and said to Karl: "This, Mr. Hetante!" "Yes. Mayor, what is the matter?" "If you have a conscience, you shouldn't feel that these words can continue to be said. Once the guy with the loud voice speaks out, everyone in this city will hear those words!" "Huh? Ah, what do you mean by that?" "This is true! The legend of King Lutanio and Hendrick is the most important foundation of our country! There is no room for half-orcs to intervene in this legend. Do you know? When you talk like this, you don't know what will happen in the end The rumors spread." Karl looked at the Mayor of Antigol in a daze for a while, as if seeing some kind of rare human being.But he immediately said with a determined expression: "Are you saying that you want to protect the legend of those two from being disturbed by doubts and unpleasant thoughts?" "Isn't it natural? This country is at war now. At this moment when all the people of the country must fight against the enemy, the legend of King Lutanio and Hendrick is the cornerstone of our morale and centripetal force. Some people in our country disrespect and disrespect Do you love King Lutanio and Hendrick? But if you do it now, the orcs will spread the word that Hendrick is their friend. Although these words are absurd, maybe they will Said that Hendrick had a private agreement with them or something like that." "If that's true, what are you going to do?" "What? Don't laugh your ass off!" "I'm not asking if you think it's funny. If Hendrick is really a good friend of the orc, what are you going to do? Mayor, you should also know that there are very few credible records about Hendrick. I venture to say that I've heard the most about Hendrick out of anyone present. During the course of our travels, I've heard a lot about him. Even that I can't believe what they say .But, if what they say is true, what are you going to do?" "There is no need to know this fact!" "what?" "There are two kinds of facts. One is necessary to know, and the other is not necessary to know. Knowing is harmful! You should know that you can't just teach children about poison!" The people next to them all closed their lips tightly, looking at the two of them, and the faint noise of orcs could be heard in the distance.What are the other people looking at Carl and the Mayor of Antigol thinking?What I saw in my eyes was the opposition between two different types of people.One is not clinging to past history and national concepts, but only cares about the truth.Karl cared less about the country of Byzos, where many people lived, than about the cold facts that satisfied him.The other kind of people hold on to everything in the past even if they lie.Although I don't know if the mayor of Antigol loves this Baizos, he seems to think it's okay to deny the facts for the sake of this love. Who is right? But Karl said calmly at once: "I see what you mean. I have gone too far. I beg your forgiveness, Mayor of Antigol." The mayor of Antigol nodded immediately.Just after the verbal battle, he seemed a little nervous and even started to knead his shoulders.He coughed a few times, stood up and said: "Since you have come to this city, as the owner of this place, I will definitely do my best to ensure your safety during your stay here. There is no need for you to stay In this dangerous place, please go to the city hall to rest." "Those goblins are after us. We are also responsible." "Please don't worry. Please believe in the strength of the city walls and guards of Carnadin. Since we are friends and compatriots, we should help you in your difficulties." "...Understood. Thank you, Mayor." When Karl said this, the others had no other opinions.Gerent said that he wanted to see the orcs here for a while, so we left him on the city wall, and I followed the mayor of Antigol with the others and went down the city wall.Oh, I really look forward to the city hall's breakfast and a cup of tea after dinner. I never knew that seeing the king and being awarded a medal directly could have such a big effect.Hmm, is it really that amazing?In fact, according to Esaihand's words, the respect for Xiuqi Nidfa should be developed after a long-term relationship. Anyway, now we're treated to a hot breakfast and sipping tea in the mayor's office.There was nothing special about that office, the atmosphere was like the office of an ordinary civil servant.The mayor of Antigol, who was sitting at the dining table, looked at us with an expression of infinite emotion.He asked me questions that were hard for me to answer. "Nidfa, how did you feel when you met His Majesty?" How should I answer?My memory of the medal presentation ceremony is the solemn hall, which is the place that makes people who go in feel sad as hell, and the officials read long and gorgeous texts, making people want to doze off... Of course when you get the medal very happy.Because I was thinking at the time: It's finally over! "Ah, seeing your blunt expression, I probably don't want to express my emotion at that time casually!" When he said that, it seemed as if even my tongue was complimenting me.Hahaha!Ai Saihande looked at me as if to say: Weren't you dozing off at that time?But I still had the cheek to ignore him.Giseon smiled slightly when he saw me like this. Carl took a sip of his coffee (yes, coffee! There's that sort of thing in this city too. Drinking coffee is probably the mayor of Antigol's hobby, and he was very happy to see Carl drinking it. If I like that Blame the food or drink, I'll probably be happy to meet someone I like too.), then put down the cup and say, "Mayor, I don't know about you, but this coffee is delicious. In the city, no matter how much coffee you have, you can’t taste its aroma deeply.” I guess Carl's words seem to have an overtone, which means that the city has been surrounded by murderous half-orcs, but you are still drinking coffee leisurely here, mayor.But the Mayor of Antigol seemed not familiar with this way of speaking, and he said very courteously: "Ah, please don't be troubled, Mr. Hetante. (Karl's shoulders drooped slightly.) Everyone was beaten by those vicious people. The orcs are chasing after you, I think everyone should be very tired physically and mentally. Please forget your fatigue in my city and restore your physical and mental vitality. I will do my best to support you so that you can prepare for the next stage of more fulfilling travel.” "Thank you very much, Mayor." Esaihand sat on the high chair and kept shaking his feet, almost losing his dignity, "But mayor, can we stay here?" Hearing such a direct question from Isaihande, the mayor of Antigol suddenly panicked.Alfred quickly said: "Ah, Athelhand is worried that the mayor wasted precious time for us. Aren't there soldiers waiting outside for the mayor's command?" The Mayor of Antigol began to smile again.He stroked his white beard and said, "Don't worry. Orcs can't fly, so what can they do with such a strong city wall?" Ghisien crossed his arms and seemed lost in thought.He closed his eyes and said, "I think of the story of King Lutanio and the coast of Roclos." "what?" The mayor of Antigol looked at Ghisien in panic again.Since Ghisien folded his arms across his chest, he was not hindered by the Duan Ya sword, so he had ample time to say these words.His eyes were still closed. "I'm talking about the story about King Lutanio who was hostile to three hundred half-orcs on the coast of Roclos. It was a desolate seaside, and there was no city wall at all. At that time, King Lutanio did not rely on a strong city wall, but It's Hendrick, and Hendrick's strong friendship with me." The mayor of Antigol said with a vigilant expression, "Ah, of course it is, Ghisien. Besides those, we have solid walls, don't we?" Gishon gave a deflated smile.I suddenly had an idea, if it is said that Ghisien is Ghisien Byzos, the brother of His Majesty today, I don't know what will happen.But why didn't Ghisien say it?Since Githion himself refused to speak, the others were also reluctant to speak about it.Speaking of which, just saying that we have received the title of Honorary Knight from His Majesty the King is enough to make Captain Creblin's heart paralyzed. What if it is said that Ghisien is a prince?Well, things can get tricky. In the end, Shan Sen still couldn't help asking: "Mr. Mayor, can we not worry about this city at all?" "Huh? Ah, yes, Mr. Fishford." I almost burst out laughing.He actually called the prince by his first name, Gishien, but he called Shanson Fisher, the little captain of the guard in our hometown, who was dazzled by girls in the waterwheel mill outside the city, Lord Fisher?I sneak a peek at Githion, who has a mysterious smile on his face.Shan Sen also seemed to find it ridiculous, but he held back and said, "After expressing my gratitude for such a kind hospitality, I want to leave right away. Because there is still a lot to do on our journey." Shan Sen said it without hesitation.Although Karl frowned, it was already too late.The mayor of Antigol simply nodded. "Ah, is that so? Well. Everyone's urgent travel shouldn't be hindered because of me. Lord Hetante, if you have any supplies or other things you need during your journey, please tell me. As long as it is within my ability , I will definitely prepare for you.” Carl sighed and said, "No. That's not what I need. Our journey is actually not that urgent, Brother Fisher. What I want to say is, how can we leave the city in trouble because of us? , just run away like this?" "Didn't the mayor say that? We don't have to worry about the city..." "Brother Fisher." Although Shan Sen closed his mouth, he still had an expression of disapproval.The mayor of Antigol immediately smiled sincerely. "That's right, that's right. Lord Fisherman's words are correct, Lord Hortante. You don't need to worry about Carnadine. No, because those half-orcs may hinder your journey, so let us handle it for you." OK." God.These words are really grateful.He wants those guys to stop chasing us?You have no idea how difficult those orcs are, my lord.well! Carl paid attention to the mayor of Antigol and expressed his gratitude. "We are grateful, but we cannot do this anymore. We must take responsibility for those orcs." "Ah, where. Please leave it to us, don't worry, hahaha." The mayor of Antigol smiled like this, and Carl could only show an embarrassed smile.The mayor is really weird.If there were 300 orcs outside the city, they would be so anxious that everyone would come to help. We volunteered to help but he refused.Does he want to look bold in the eyes of others?Shan Sen licked his lips and said, "Since the mayor has already said so, shall we accept his kindness, Karl?" Carl glared at Shan Sen, but Shan Sen deliberately didn't look at him, and just looked up at the ceiling leisurely.Carl seemed to want to talk to the mayor about it, but at this moment, someone knocked on the office door. "What's up?" After a while, a soldier ran in, saluted the mayor and watched us for a while.The mayor of Antigol immediately nodded, curtsied us, and ran outside. As soon as the mayor of Antigol went out, Karl stared straight at Shan Sen.Shan Sen avoided that look for a while, then shrugged his shoulders and said: "The mayor seems very confident. Probably he wants to repeat the legend of King Lutanio. The name of this future story is: Mayor of Antigol A bloody battle with three hundred and a half orcs in the city of Carnadin." "So? Are you really planning to hand over the city to them and run away by yourself?" "Didn't the mayor persuade us to do the same?" "I don't care what the mayor of Antigol thinks. What I care about is the citizens of this city. The orcs outside are clearly following us. We can't let the citizens experience unpleasant things because of this." "I know what you're talking about. But even if we say we're going to walk out with our hands up, the orcs won't back away." Carl stared blankly at Shan Sen, while Shan Sen calmly continued to explain his opinion. "Since those guys have formed such a large organization, they won't disband until they get something. We are just used as an excuse for them. I think they are more likely to get winter food. If their goal is true It's us, won't it take too much trouble to surround the city? Why don't we go out of the city and ambush at a suitable place to carry out a surprise attack." Shan Sen's sharp insight surprised us all.Karl nodded and said, "Well, that's quite right, Brother Fisher. It's probably because the orcs chasing us got together with this large group of orcs. Some of these orcs must have been here for winter food. Ready to loot." "Yes. So no matter whether we leave the city or not, the orcs will definitely attack the city. They told us to go out... probably because they think we will cause trouble for them in the city?" "trouble?" Shan Sen took a look at me and Wen Chai, and said jokingly: "The reputation of the monster candlemaker and the eyeball monster should have already spread among the orcs." Should this be something to be proud of?Carl smiled wryly and said, "I never said I was going to the orcs. I was not innocent enough to believe their letters, so I ran over there and said to them: 'Since we have come out, please don't attack this place. City.' Although their plans may not be the same as what you said, at least it can be seen that after gathering so many accomplices, it would be a pity for them to disband without grabbing a vote. of." "That's fine! We don't have to shoulder the responsibility desperately on our own shoulders. That's the city's own problem. But hasn't the mayor already rejected our help? Carl said it several times and the result is the same." "If it is necessary to help, no matter what he says, we will help! Just like to help a child, no matter how bad the medicine is, we must force him to drink it." Shan Sen closed his mouth, and once again showed He Tante's masculine expression of injustice and dissatisfaction.Hetante men devote themselves to protecting their city.In any case, it seems that it is better for me to make a dissatisfied expression.But Karl showed a regretful look, and said, "It would be nice if Kigored wasn't discovered to be an illusion." Alfred immediately said in a timid voice: "I'm sorry! It's all because of my lack of ability." "No, you don't have to apologize for such a thing. That orc with the black helmet is a monster. Who knew there could be such a brave orc?" Then the office door opened, and Gerente, Nelia, and Renee appeared.Geraint flushed and seemed very excited.As soon as he came in, he started saying, "Wow, that's amazing." "what?" "Those guys seem to be trying to make battering rams." "A battering ram?" Gerent sat down on the sofa and began to gesticulate: "Yes. The orcs are carrying huge trees from the other side of the wilderness. There are no trees around here. Probably they are in the Sifiapan Ridge. They were already divided into two groups, and then the front group attacked the city, and the rear troops cut down trees and brought them in. It was a large tree trunk about four or five cubits in diameter, and they also used two small trunks in a cross shape. Bind them under the trunks, and make the axles. Oh, the wheels are made of round shields stacked together, with a hole in the middle. They are so formidable, they make you shudder." Gerente spoke excitedly, making one feel that this event was simply miraculous and surprising.Carl put his hands on his forehead and moaned: "Oh, God, Brother Fisher, I should really pay respects to you. What you said is right. They seem to have made up their minds to come here." "Huh? What do you mean?" When Gerent asked this question, Karl told him that the orcs just used us as an excuse, and the actual purpose was to plunder the city.Gerente nodded immediately. "Yes. It seems to be true. Captain Creblin and Anand said the same thing." "yes?" "Yes. The troops in the rear have trolleys, loads of food and so on, and even several flags. Captain Kreblin told me in a frightened tone that the troops in the front only took weapons in order to move quickly. I just killed them, and the rest of them just arrived with food and other supplies. If those guys came after making up their minds to fight for a long time, it can be said that their purpose is unlikely to be us. " "That's right. Um. How many is the army behind them?" "Yes. I don't have much confidence in the calculations, but it should be about the same as the troops that came first." Carl's face turned yellow when he heard that.Shan Sen said with a gloomy expression: "I probably know what the soldier who came to the mayor said just now." Karl expresses his mood simply in one sentence. "Damn..."
The atmosphere in Kanadin City was tense and chaotic as if it had provoked a beehive.Although it was already bright, the sun turned into a round ball that could not make people feel warm because of the dense clouds.Even the wind that brushes against your skin makes you feel uneasy.Some children don't know why they are crying, but they still cry until their throats are about to burst.The native soldiers and the strong men ran here and there in a hurry, each shouting as they ran.In any case, it was a very noisy scene.But only one person seems to be happy.Gerent touched his nose and said, "Oh, the citizens seem to be very disturbed." "Aren't you disturbed? Is it because you are an outsider?" Hearing Ghisien's question, Gerent shrugged. "Everything is done according to Deferi's will. I will stay here because I don't feel at all that Deferi wants me to leave." "what?" Our group stopped in a hurry and looked at Gerente.Shan Sen looked at him with a surprised expression. "Hey, do you mean you want to stay?" "Yes. I have thought about several reasons why I should leave. It is urgent to escort Renee. And the walls of this city are safe. Even if I stay, I can help you in the war against the orcs." What's the job? Although I stood on the wall and calmly thought about these reasons, I just don't want to go. And I know exactly when I felt this way. Hahahaha." "This is Deferi's will." "Yes! Because I acted according to De Feli's will, I have no anxiety at all." Should I also become a follower of De Feli?They don't seem to be upset under any circumstances.Carl nodded. "I just want to say one thing." We all looked at Carl.Carl breathed evenly and said, "I don't know what you think, but we are all free travelers and will not interfere with each other. You should also remember that Miss Xie Renier wanted to leave herself. Just like this, we No one in this group has the right to force another to do something. Of course there are several people who have been entrusted by the Temple of the Great Storm to take up this responsibility to act, but I want to forget this responsibility for a while. Anyway, this During this trip, I often failed to understand the task that was given to me by others." Ghisien folded his hands on his chest, touched his chin and said, "You said you couldn't understand your mission? Are you talking about making Yis?" "Yes. It is the same in this city. Although it is my duty to run towards the Brown Mountains now, I do not wish to stand by and watch the dangers of this city." "Uncle Carl is so handsome! If we just run away, no one can say anything. Because even the mayor of this city told us to go. Are you not married yet? How come you are not married yet?" We all burst out laughing at Nelia's strange question.Carl said with an embarrassed expression: "Probably because the women's vision is correct. Ah, I want to talk about another thing now. Our responsibility is also very important. The waking moments of Klad Meso It's approaching. I don't know about you, but you don't really need that many people going to the Brown Mountains." "Do you mean we should act in batches?" Hearing Ghisien's question, Carl nodded. "Yes. Of course, this must be approved by everyone, but if everyone really agrees, then I think we should be divided into two groups. One group will stay and help the city, and the other group will take Renee to the Brown Mountains." "That opinion doesn't sound like a bad idea." Esaihand immediately spat into the palm of his hand, and grasped the handle of the ax vigorously. "I'll stay here! There are six hundred orc heads now. I'll pick them out and chop them off." Carl smiled slightly.But after a while, that smile turned into a look of embarrassment. Everyone, starting with Isaihand, said they wanted to stay here.Let's hear everyone's reasons. "Didn't I already say it? This is De Feli's will. If you have any reason for me to resist God's will, just tell me." "Oh, how can there be such a reason?" "Although my magic is not powerful enough, I want to stay and help hoe Athelhand. Ah, that, of course I'm not a very good magician, I don't think I can help much in the war..." "No. Who would say Mr. Alvned is a bad magician? Kigored's appearance just now was terribly frightening." "The Duan Ya Sword is not a weapon, but a work of art...Shut up! It's a weapon. What! You're not a weapon, what are you?...I'm sorry. Ah, huh! Anyway, where there are enemies, the weapon should be there The place." "Yes. Of course." "My task is to protect the plenipotentiary of the Hetante territory. I want to stay by Karl's side." "Brother Fisher, this..." "Huh? Shan Sen, why is your mission the same as mine?" "...Brother Niederfa." "I have to take care of my future son." "what?" I made an expression that I was about to pass out, while Carl looked at Nelia and me in turn, not knowing whether to laugh or laugh.Then he showed a desperate expression, turned his head to look at Wen Chai who hadn't answered, and immediately cast his eyes elsewhere.Wen Chai quietly drew out the sword and held it in his hand, reflecting the sunlight.Carl looked at Renee depressedly, and Renee immediately showed rabbit-like eyes and said, "Do you want me to go alone? I don't even know the way!" "I didn't say that, Miss Renee." Carl threw up his hands and we all laughed.Githion nodded with a smile and said, "Because we are all free travelers, we cannot interfere with each other. What are you going to do, Karl?" Carl said with a desperate expression: "Let's discuss how to solve the six hundred orcs as quickly as possible." The name of our battle plan is: "Plan to Destroy 600 Orcs in the Shortest Time." Although there is no creativity, no one will mention it after the name is decided, so you can ignore it. Let's take a look at the members who execute the plan.Carl Hetant, who claims to be a scholar and is known as "using the name of a scholar to tell people's truth with poison", became the commander-in-chief of the plan. "Why am I a mean talker, brother Nieder?" "Didn't you tell me before that people who are really mean talkers pretend to be not poisonous talkers when they say mean things? "I have nothing to say." The members who carry out the plan are: ogres who will be mistaken for humans in many places, warriors who are tortured by magic swords, but can't abandon them because the swords are too good, obey the will of gods, and laugh even when they go to the gallows The priest who almost went to the gallows but was lucky enough to be released by the Jeppen spy, the dwarf who wields an ax so sharp that he can use it to shave all the time, plus the girl who wants to marry a widower with a oil bottle, and also…… "Xiu Qi, please don't mention things like top magicians." "A magician who will get a title he doesn't want." "……Screw you." "Then what am I, Xiuqi?" "A port girl protected by all with love and dedication." "Hehehe." "We have such a colorful cast, Carl. What the hell are you going to do? Cool judgment is needed now more than ever, and that's why I'm telling you, this colorful list may sound good, but I don't see how it's possible for these people to take out six hundred orcs." 卡尔一面微笑一面说：“你越说越夸张了。” “现在我的语气怎么样根本不重要。” “那么我们先解决重要的问题，我们要先找到作战指挥所。但这座城里哪里有这种地方？” “好像还没有设置。啊。克雷布林队长在那里。” 我们望向杉森所指的地方，看到在廊台的另一边和士兵们正在说些什么话的克雷布林队长。他发现了我们之后，做出了惊讶的表情。连忙跑了过来。 “将卡纳丁安全与繁荣的未来这些莫大的责任重重压在身上的战士罗斯·克雷布林正在慌忙地跑向卡纳丁城墙上方聚集的这些多彩多姿的计划成员……” “够了！”我一面摸着被杉森捶了一下的头顶，一面看着克雷布林队长跑过来。克雷布林队长歪着头说：“您为什么待在这里，贺坦特大人？” “叫我卡尔就行了。现在战况如何？” 克雷布林队长整张脸皱了起来，望向城外。 “就跟您所看到的一样。那些家伙第一次的进犯，虽然为弓箭手所击退，但那些家伙的数目好像没怎么减少。” 我望向底下的荒野。蕾妮在旁边喘着气。 "My God." 荒野上到处是半兽人的尸体。虽然尸体数目不是非常多，但由于是散落在什么也没有的荒野上，看了就让人觉得不舒服。其余的半兽人在弓箭射程之外组成了方阵，坐在那里等待命令。依据杰伦特的说法，半兽人的数目膨胀到两倍，当中也偶尔能看到受风招展的旗帜。旗帜上画了些什么图案看不太清楚，但映入眼帘的是令人不舒服的红色。后面还可以看到杰伦特说的攻城锤，正对着城门的方向，是用粗大的原木整根做成的，大到让人无法相信是半兽人搬来的东西。杉森看到这光景，点了点头说：“攻城锤还没来过城边。因为地上看不到轮子的痕迹。” “是的。不久之前的突击只算是跟我们打个招呼而已。它们大部分都把盾牌顶在头上冲了过来，似乎只是想让我们精神疲乏。”吉西恩点点头，说：“或是让我们浪费箭枝。” "That's right." “有准备石头或是滚烫的油吗？” 克雷布林队长失神地望着吉西恩一阵子，然后擦了擦额头说：“不，没那些东西。” “咦？但是那里……” 吉西恩手指之处，是城墙下面跟廊台接触的地方设责的投石孔。 Ok.仔细一看，这座城的外廓真的很有规模。不但有廊台，连投石孔都准备好了。克雷布林队长顺着吉西恩手指的方向看过去，歪着头说：“咦？那里怎么了？” “那里不是有投石孔吗？那你们怎么没准备石头呢？” 克雷布林队长一听，脸都红了。 “那是投石孔吗？我以为是让雨水流出去的洞。”喔，天啊。雨水流出去的洞？需要这么大吗？吉西恩一副受不了的表情，克雷布林队长立刻愧疚地说：“这个，这里本来是跟战争无关的城市。老实说，我平常根本完全忘记了我身处的职位。我们警备队员要处理的只有酒鬼打架、商人在市场争位子，不然就是要阻止最危险的冲突，也就是夫妇吵架，不是用来阻挡进攻城池的半兽人的。” 吉西恩浮现了带有同情的微笑说。 “是吗？但你们还是秩序井然，弓箭手的配置也很了不起。” “是这样啊？如果阿南德来了，我们就会装出一副很厉害的模样。现在阿南德那家伙的经验成了我们很大的助力。我们当中只有他经历过战争，大概他是惟一的军事专家。” 卡尔点了点头，说：“这其是幸运。那个，我们也想帮助各位。我们虽称不上是军事专家，但是在旅行过程中经历过很多事。而且那些半兽人是跟着我们过来的，我们当然会感到有责任。” 卡尔一说完，克雷布林就露出雀跃的表情。 “啊，您真的要帮助我们吗？” “清晨的时候，你不是这样对我们要求的吗？” “啊。我对那时的无理再次谢罪……” “不。没关系的。已经过去的事就别提了，来研究击退半兽人的方法吧。你有什么计划？你说没有准备石头，我想箭枝剩下的也不多。” 克雷布林队长当场露出了凄惨的表情。
用一句话来讲，他们连一样东西都没准备好。一元化的指挥体系、部队间的有机联系、甚至连补给计划都不具备。弓箭手不知道该何时换班，没有弓箭的警备队员不知该在哪里集结、都要准备什么东西，甚至每个人都回自己的家吃饭。Carl sighed.虽然透过阿南德的部置，守住了半兽人的奇袭，但也就是这样而已。 “这太夸张了。市长到底在哪里？” “如果我知道那就好了。” “……我懂了。那就这么办吧，克雷布林队长。让我充当你的临时顾问吧？” "Great." 卡尔立刻开始慌忙地下达命令。由于下得太快，我成了他的临时记录员，在纸上写下一整排需要用到的东西名称。没有弓箭的警备队员依照卡尔的命令拼命地来来去去，从警备队建筑物中搬来了锅子、粮食袋跟其他开伙用具。罗斯·克雷布林队长传话给城中的妇女，一阵子之后，卡纳丁最勇敢的中年妇人们就聚了过来，开始让料理发出香味。卡尔闻到那味道，露出了高兴的笑容。 “战略据点是在城墙附近。这座城外的地形极度平坦，警备队的武器薄弱，绝对不可能出城战斗。所以我们在城里设置防寨好了。” 依照卡尔的指示，警备队员在城门里面设置了瓮城，又称作防寨。嗯，我们贺坦特城里也有这种东西。贺坦特城的防寨是在城门外，用石头跟木头构筑而成，卡纳丁的瓮城则是用干草车、水桶、家具等物做成的，实在不怎么样。但是万一半兽人攻进城来，许多半兽人一定会被瓮城另一边警备队员的长枪刺中。卡尔要那些不会射箭的警备队员拿着长枪，在瓮城后面布阵。在建筑瓮城期间，我将车推来、用力踢那些水桶，又将家具抛上去堆着。卡纳丁的警备队员间开始流传西部来的怪物修奇·尼德法的传闻。Uh.也许几十年之后，这里会出现“在我们城池犹如风中残烛般危险的时候，乘着西风而来的怪物蜡烛匠修奇·尼德法”的传闻吧。 卡尔选了几名最优秀的弓箭手，让他们站在城塔的射击孔后面。 我们就别提罗斯·克雷布林队长指着射击孔，说那是没用的小窗户这件事吧。 “最重要的是各位不可以慌。就算半兽人跑来，也没必要射箭。要射的对象如下：第一，喊得最大声的家伙，第二，拿着旗帜的家伙。 那些半兽人最重要。不用射看起来最害怕的家伙。所以除了刚才提到的半兽人之外，其他的来或不来都没必要射。 " 有一个弓箭手问道：“我可不可以问一下，为什么要射那些家伙？” “因为那些半兽人左右了全体的士气。” "understood." “你们不要等候指示，只要那些半兽人进了射程，就按照自己的意思射它们。” 精选过的射手上了城塔，总数有五十多个。约一百个警备队员则是躲在城内的防寨后待机。 人员配置结束之后，我们一行就跟克雷布林队长、阿南德上了城门上头的城楼。卡尔望着城楼另一边的半兽人说：“这是一百五十对六百。在攻城战来说，一比四这个比率已经很理想了。” “很理想吗？！” “城应具备三种要素。你还记得贺滋里所说理想城池的要素吗？” “啊……在垂直面必须要高，在水平面必须要窄，还有自给自足。” “没错。这座城垂直高度有五十肘。很够了。外面的路也窄得没话说。” “等一下！外面的荒野这么大，你怎么说很窄？” “那些家伙没有梯子。就算有梯子，它们要爬上来也是相当困难的。所以它们只会涌向城门攻击。” "Ah, yes." “而且这座城自给自足，所以光是城墙就可以抵三个人的分。这里的土兵有一百五十人。你算算看？” “没错。所以你是说现在双方势均力敌？” “所以我说是理想的比率。但是卡纳丁这边更有胜算。因为人跟半兽人都会累，但城墙是不会的。” “可是箭怎么办？现在开始拼命做吗？” “那个是有点麻烦。帮我把等一下说的话写下来，啊，要写得让人容易懂。” 城楼里面准备了桌椅。我坐在椅子上，一准备好要写字，卡尔就开始滔滔不绝地说：“'我对坏掉的牙齿跟发臭的鼻孔表达敬意。我带着爱与友情建议你们，如果你们攻击这座城，你们连一只都回不了你们肮脏的洞窟。'你为什么不写？” 我好不容易才停止笑声。 “真的要这样写吗？嘻，嘻嘻嘻。” “当然。'但是不幸地，我们不知道该怎么利用半兽人的皮跟肉，也不想制造让苍蝇高兴的半兽人尸堆。你们活着的时候发臭，但死了之后更是臭气熏天。所以不要攻击这里白白送死。那让人很不愉快。收到这封信就快给我滚。你们的好友。'” “你想要故意把半兽人气得翻白眼吗？” “我平常都在怀疑这么小的眼睛怎么翻白眼。” 我将卡尔说的话适当地润饰了一下，变成更夸张的内容。吉西恩看到我写的东西爆笑了出来，艾赛韩德则是恳请我多写几张类似的东西。这真是为名文，我真想把它贴在自己家的客厅墙上。罗斯·克雷布林队长露出了啼笑皆非的表情，看着卡尔。 “卡尔，您打算故意惹半兽人生气吗？” “我认为在它们消耗我们的箭枝之前，我们应该要先消耗它们的人员。” “您是希望那些家伙看了气得七窍生烟，直接冲过来攻击吗？这种想法不是太天真了？” “我比队长更了解半兽人。让我为这件事负责吧。”克雷布林队长默默地望着卡尔，但是卡尔很有自信地接受了他的视线。最后克雷布林队长点了点头。 “呵……好吧。” 写完信之后，卡尔将信绑在箭上，将脚跨在城楼的栏杆上，对着太阳似的高高举起他的弓。call out! 划过天际的箭一下子就看不见了。艾赛韩德手按额头，望天嘀咕道：“你是要射太阳啊。那东西真的飞得到那边吗？” “已经飞到了，矮人同志。” 回答的是温柴。温柴的眼力到底有多好呢？在空旷的沙漠中长大，眼力还这么好。我眼睛虽然也不算差，但是还是看不到卡尔射出的箭。可是温柴却望着远处说：“可惜的是没射中半兽人。掉到地上了。半兽人正往那边接近。” “好，事情成了。克雷布林队长！请你向士兵下达戒备的命今。在下达全体射击的信号之前，要他们先别射。” “知道了。葛伦！” 葛伦一等兵听取了队长的命令，开始在廊台的四处东奔西跑，将命令传达下去。城楼两边的城墙上，士兵都取出了箭搭在弓弦上，然后将弓放下，注视着城墙外面的动静。每个人都是一副紧张的表情。 旁边传来了吞口水的声音，我回头一看，原来是亚夫奈德紧握着拳头，一脸紧张。他手上有一个很奇怪的东西。那东西就像是小的玩具铲子。到底亚夫奈德的袋子里还有些什么稀奇古怪的小东西？ 一时之间城墙上的人跟半兽人两边都维持着寂静。一阵子之后，高喊的吵杂声传来。还是那只带着黑色头盔的半兽人声音。 “这些该死的人类家伙！全体突击！” 罗斯·克雷布林队长露出了啼笑皆非的表情，卡尔微笑着轻声说道：“啊，客人们来了。”
"Don't tell me what I just heard, you heard it too. I'm enough for a mentally abnormal person." "It seems to be. Actually, I'm also wondering if I'm crazy." While Shan Sen was talking to me about these nonsensical words, Karl ran forward desperately, as if he was about to commit suicide by jumping off the city wall.Karl stretched his entire upper body out of the city wall, looking at the orcs.Then he drew back as fast as he had run forward, and said, "Avned! Can you amplify my voice to them?" "No. I've run out of this magic." "Damn! What shall we do then? If they are to be called here . . . At this time Wen Chai stood up.He said to Carl in a low voice, "Huh? Ah, yes. Those orcs mentioned Hendrick's name..." Wen Chai ignored Carl's words and said, "Then I'll pass on the message for you. What do you want to ask them?" "Huh? Ah, do you want to help me send a message? Then can you ask me what they mean by the friend of the half-orcs, Saint Hendrick?" Wen Chai immediately jumped up lightly and stood on the battlement.Wen Chai took a deep breath and raised his arms to show that he had no intention of attacking.The mayor of Antigol said to Carl with a displeased expression, "Look, Mr. Hetante. I thought I was the person in charge here." Ah.Not so long ago, when Kiegored was around, he acted as if he had given Karl all the responsibility.I gave the mayor a displeased look, but Carl just said calmly and rationally: "Ah, I'm sorry, Mayor of Antigol. Please allow me to only ask this question, please rest assured. I am not trying to interfere with other The soldiers or the chain of command of the city. That soldier is my partner, but I ask him to ask the orcs a question..." "But you are a guest of our city, isn't it natural to act according to the master's instructions? Besides, the city is currently at war..." The mayor of Antigol said with a firm face.But Wen Chai seemed to ignore him at all. He took a deep breath, and began to yell, "Hey! Goblin!" I felt my whole head vibrate.The mayor of Antigol originally wanted to say something, but now he could only groan with his mouth wide open. "Woo... woo..." "Oh, my ears!" Ai Saihande screamed, quickly blocked his ears and retreated.Athelhand's ears seemed to be very sensitive.The others also made painful expressions and stepped back.The mayor, his entourage, and Captain Ross all wrinkled their faces and retreated to both sides, because standing on the city wall, there was no way to retreat behind.I saw Karl running back with his hands over his ears, still smiling. After Wen Chai yelled so loudly, the noise of the orcs below gradually subsided. The half-orc with the black helmet looked up and shouted, "Squeak, human who stinks! What do you want to say?" Although the voice was very weak when it reached here, it was still very clear.Shan Sen said with a mocking expression: "It's ridiculous that someone wants to talk to someone who is 1,200 cubits away. What's even more ridiculous is that this thing actually came true." Although Shan Sen muttered to himself, I thought it was a good subject for poetry.Under the dark blue morning sky, in the vast wilderness of the eastern woodlands, Wenchai shouted from the battlements.The mayor of Antigol shook his head, as if he wanted to say something more, but Wenchai started to shout again: "Orc, what does Saint Hendrick mean?" "You guys, Zhizhi, are you qualified to mention his name casually?" "What I like to say is my business! Answer it quickly! You said..." At this moment, the mayor of Antigol probably became impatient with his lack of opportunity to speak, grabbed Wen Chai's waist and pulled him down.Wen Chai staggered and managed to get down safely, but an angry look began to appear on his face, and he rudely shook the mayor's hand away.The mayor also began to tense up and put on a defensive posture, and the entourage quickly surrounded the mayor.Although Wen Chai was about to hold the hilt of the sword, he put it down again and said viciously, "What are you doing?" The mayor made a dumbfounding expression again.Alas, mayor, you must have looked into Wen Chai's eyes.The mayor unconsciously lowered his head and stepped back.He coughed a few times and said to Karl: "This, Mr. Hetante!" "Yes. Mayor, what is the matter?" "If you have a conscience, you shouldn't feel that these words can continue to be said. Once the guy with the loud voice speaks out, everyone in this city will hear those words!" "Huh? Ah, what do you mean by that?" "This is true! The legend of King Lutanio and Hendrick is the most important foundation of our country! There is no room for half-orcs to intervene in this legend. Do you know? When you talk like this, you don't know what will happen in the end The rumors spread." Karl looked at the Mayor of Antigol in a daze for a while, as if seeing some kind of rare human being.But he immediately said with a determined expression: "Are you saying that you want to protect the legend of those two from being disturbed by doubts and unpleasant thoughts?" "Isn't it natural? This country is at war now. At this moment when all the people of the country must fight against the enemy, the legend of King Lutanio and Hendrick is the cornerstone of our morale and centripetal force. Some people in our country disrespect and disrespect Do you love King Lutanio and Hendrick? But if you do it now, the orcs will spread the word that Hendrick is their friend. Although these words are absurd, maybe they will Said that Hendrick had a private agreement with them or something like that." "If that's true, what are you going to do?" "What? Don't laugh your ass off!" "I'm not asking if you think it's funny. If Hendrick is really a good friend of the orc, what are you going to do? Mayor, you should also know that there are very few credible records about Hendrick. I venture to say that I've heard the most about Hendrick out of anyone present. During the course of our travels, I've heard a lot about him. Even that I can't believe what they say .But, if what they say is true, what are you going to do?" "There is no need to know this fact!" "what?" "There are two kinds of facts. One is necessary to know, and the other is not necessary to know. Knowing is harmful! You should know that you can't just teach children about poison!" The people next to them all closed their lips tightly, looking at the two of them, and the faint noise of orcs could be heard in the distance.What are the other people looking at Carl and the Mayor of Antigol thinking?What I saw in my eyes was the opposition between two different types of people.One is not clinging to past history and national concepts, but only cares about the truth.Karl cared less about the country of Byzos, where many people lived, than about the cold facts that satisfied him.The other kind of people hold on to everything in the past even if they lie.Although I don't know if the mayor of Antigol loves this Baizos, he seems to think it's okay to deny the facts for the sake of this love. Who is right? But Karl said calmly at once: "I see what you mean. I have gone too far. I beg your forgiveness, Mayor of Antigol." The mayor of Antigol nodded immediately.Just after the verbal battle, he seemed a little nervous and even started to knead his shoulders.He coughed a few times, stood up and said: "Since you have come to this city, as the owner of this place, I will definitely do my best to ensure your safety during your stay here. There is no need for you to stay In this dangerous place, please go to the city hall to rest." "Those goblins are after us. We are also responsible." "Please don't worry. Please believe in the strength of the city walls and guards of Carnadin. Since we are friends and compatriots, we should help you in your difficulties." "...Understood. Thank you, Mayor." When Karl said this, the others had no other opinions.Gerent said that he wanted to see the orcs here for a while, so we left him on the city wall, and I followed the mayor of Antigol with the others and went down the city wall.Oh, I really look forward to the city hall's breakfast and a cup of tea after dinner. I never knew that seeing the king and being awarded a medal directly could have such a big effect.Hmm, is it really that amazing?In fact, according to Esaihand's words, the respect for Xiuqi Nidfa should be developed after a long-term relationship. Anyway, now we're treated to a hot breakfast and sipping tea in the mayor's office.There was nothing special about that office, the atmosphere was like the office of an ordinary civil servant.The mayor of Antigol, who was sitting at the dining table, looked at us with an expression of infinite emotion.He asked me questions that were hard for me to answer. "Nidfa, how did you feel when you met His Majesty?" How should I answer?My memory of the medal presentation ceremony is the solemn hall, which is the place that makes people who go in feel sad as hell, and the officials read long and gorgeous texts, making people want to doze off... Of course when you get the medal very happy.Because I was thinking at the time: It's finally over! "Ah, seeing your blunt expression, I probably don't want to express my emotion at that time casually!" When he said that, it seemed as if even my tongue was complimenting me.Hahaha!Ai Saihande looked at me as if to say: Weren't you dozing off at that time?But I still had the cheek to ignore him.Giseon smiled slightly when he saw me like this. Carl took a sip of his coffee (yes, coffee! There's that sort of thing in this city too. Drinking coffee is probably the mayor of Antigol's hobby, and he was very happy to see Carl drinking it. If I like that Blame the food or drink, I'll probably be happy to meet someone I like too.), then put down the cup and say, "Mayor, I don't know about you, but this coffee is delicious. In the city, no matter how much coffee you have, you can’t taste its aroma deeply.” I guess Carl's words seem to have an overtone, which means that the city has been surrounded by murderous half-orcs, but you are still drinking coffee leisurely here, mayor.But the Mayor of Antigol seemed not familiar with this way of speaking, and he said very courteously: "Ah, please don't be troubled, Mr. Hetante. (Karl's shoulders drooped slightly.) Everyone was beaten by those vicious people. The orcs are chasing after you, I think everyone should be very tired physically and mentally. Please forget your fatigue in my city and restore your physical and mental vitality. I will do my best to support you so that you can prepare for the next stage of more fulfilling travel.” "Thank you very much, Mayor." Esaihand sat on the high chair and kept shaking his feet, almost losing his dignity, "But mayor, can we stay here?" Hearing such a direct question from Isaihande, the mayor of Antigol suddenly panicked.Alfred quickly said: "Ah, Athelhand is worried that the mayor wasted precious time for us. Aren't there soldiers waiting outside for the mayor's command?" The Mayor of Antigol began to smile again.He stroked his white beard and said, "Don't worry. Orcs can't fly, so what can they do with such a strong city wall?" Ghisien crossed his arms and seemed lost in thought.He closed his eyes and said, "I think of the story of King Lutanio and the coast of Roclos." "what?" The mayor of Antigol looked at Ghisien in panic again.Since Ghisien folded his arms across his chest, he was not hindered by the Duan Ya sword, so he had ample time to say these words.His eyes were still closed. "I'm talking about the story about King Lutanio who was hostile to three hundred half-orcs on the coast of Roclos. It was a desolate seaside, and there was no city wall at all. At that time, King Lutanio did not rely on a strong city wall, but It's Hendrick, and Hendrick's strong friendship with me." The mayor of Antigol said with a vigilant expression, "Ah, of course it is, Ghisien. Besides those, we have solid walls, don't we?" Gishon gave a deflated smile.I suddenly had an idea, if it is said that Ghisien is Ghisien Byzos, the brother of His Majesty today, I don't know what will happen.But why didn't Ghisien say it?Since Githion himself refused to speak, the others were also reluctant to speak about it.Speaking of which, just saying that we have received the title of Honorary Knight from His Majesty the King is enough to make Captain Creblin's heart paralyzed. What if it is said that Ghisien is a prince?Well, things can get tricky. In the end, Shan Sen still couldn't help asking: "Mr. Mayor, can we not worry about this city at all?" "Huh? Ah, yes, Mr. Fishford." I almost burst out laughing.He actually called the prince by his first name, Gishien, but he called Shanson Fisher, the little captain of the guard in our hometown, who was dazzled by girls in the waterwheel mill outside the city, Lord Fisher?I sneak a peek at Githion, who has a mysterious smile on his face.Shan Sen also seemed to find it ridiculous, but he held back and said, "After expressing my gratitude for such a kind hospitality, I want to leave right away. Because there is still a lot to do on our journey." Shan Sen said it without hesitation.Although Karl frowned, it was already too late.The mayor of Antigol simply nodded. "Ah, is that so? Well. Everyone's urgent travel shouldn't be hindered because of me. Lord Hetante, if you have any supplies or other things you need during your journey, please tell me. As long as it is within my ability , I will definitely prepare for you.” Carl sighed and said, "No. That's not what I need. Our journey is actually not that urgent, Brother Fisher. What I want to say is, how can we leave the city in trouble because of us? , just run away like this?" "Didn't the mayor say that? We don't have to worry about the city..." "Brother Fisher." Although Shan Sen closed his mouth, he still had an expression of disapproval.The mayor of Antigol immediately smiled sincerely. "That's right, that's right. Lord Fisherman's words are correct, Lord Hortante. You don't need to worry about Carnadine. No, because those half-orcs may hinder your journey, so let us handle it for you." OK." God.These words are really grateful.He wants those guys to stop chasing us?You have no idea how difficult those orcs are, my lord.well! Carl paid attention to the mayor of Antigol and expressed his gratitude. "We are grateful, but we cannot do this anymore. We must take responsibility for those orcs." "Ah, where. Please leave it to us, don't worry, hahaha." The mayor of Antigol smiled like this, and Carl could only show an embarrassed smile.The mayor is really weird.If there were 300 orcs outside the city, they would be so anxious that everyone would come to help. We volunteered to help but he refused.Does he want to look bold in the eyes of others?Shan Sen licked his lips and said, "Since the mayor has already said so, shall we accept his kindness, Karl?" Carl glared at Shan Sen, but Shan Sen deliberately didn't look at him, and just looked up at the ceiling leisurely.Carl seemed to want to talk to the mayor about it, but at this moment, someone knocked on the office door. "What's up?" After a while, a soldier ran in, saluted the mayor and watched us for a while.The mayor of Antigol immediately nodded, curtsied us, and ran outside. As soon as the mayor of Antigol went out, Karl stared straight at Shan Sen.Shan Sen avoided that look for a while, then shrugged his shoulders and said: "The mayor seems very confident. Probably he wants to repeat the legend of King Lutanio. The name of this future story is: Mayor of Antigol A bloody battle with three hundred and a half orcs in the city of Carnadin." "So? Are you really planning to hand over the city to them and run away by yourself?" "Didn't the mayor persuade us to do the same?" "I don't care what the mayor of Antigol thinks. What I care about is the citizens of this city. The orcs outside are clearly following us. We can't let the citizens experience unpleasant things because of this." "I know what you're talking about. But even if we say we're going to walk out with our hands up, the orcs won't back away." Carl stared blankly at Shan Sen, while Shan Sen calmly continued to explain his opinion. "Since those guys have formed such a large organization, they won't disband until they get something. We are just used as an excuse for them. I think they are more likely to get winter food. If their goal is true It's us, won't it take too much trouble to surround the city? Why don't we go out of the city and ambush at a suitable place to carry out a surprise attack." Shan Sen's sharp insight surprised us all.Karl nodded and said, "Well, that's quite right, Brother Fisher. It's probably because the orcs chasing us got together with this large group of orcs. Some of these orcs must have been here for winter food. Ready to loot." "Yes. So no matter whether we leave the city or not, the orcs will definitely attack the city. They told us to go out... probably because they think we will cause trouble for them in the city?" "trouble?" Shan Sen took a look at me and Wen Chai, and said jokingly: "The reputation of the monster candlemaker and the eyeball monster should have already spread among the orcs." Should this be something to be proud of?Carl smiled wryly and said, "I never said I was going to the orcs. I was not innocent enough to believe their letters, so I ran over there and said to them: 'Since we have come out, please don't attack this place. City.' Although their plans may not be the same as what you said, at least it can be seen that after gathering so many accomplices, it would be a pity for them to disband without grabbing a vote. of." "That's fine! We don't have to shoulder the responsibility desperately on our own shoulders. That's the city's own problem. But hasn't the mayor already rejected our help? Carl said it several times and the result is the same." "If it is necessary to help, no matter what he says, we will help! Just like to help a child, no matter how bad the medicine is, we must force him to drink it." Shan Sen closed his mouth, and once again showed He Tante's masculine expression of injustice and dissatisfaction.Hetante men devote themselves to protecting their city.In any case, it seems that it is better for me to make a dissatisfied expression.But Karl showed a regretful look, and said, "It would be nice if Kigored wasn't discovered to be an illusion." Alfred immediately said in a timid voice: "I'm sorry! It's all because of my lack of ability." "No, you don't have to apologize for such a thing. That orc with the black helmet is a monster. Who knew there could be such a brave orc?" Then the office door opened, and Gerente, Nelia, and Renee appeared.Geraint flushed and seemed very excited.As soon as he came in, he started saying, "Wow, that's amazing." "what?" "Those guys seem to be trying to make battering rams." "A battering ram?" Gerent sat down on the sofa and began to gesticulate: "Yes. The orcs are carrying huge trees from the other side of the wilderness. There are no trees around here. Probably they are in the Sifiapan Ridge. They were already divided into two groups, and then the front group attacked the city, and the rear troops cut down trees and brought them in. It was a large tree trunk about four or five cubits in diameter, and they also used two small trunks in a cross shape. Bind them under the trunks, and make the axles. Oh, the wheels are made of round shields stacked together, with a hole in the middle. They are so formidable, they make you shudder." Gerente spoke excitedly, making one feel that this event was simply miraculous and surprising.Carl put his hands on his forehead and moaned: "Oh, God, Brother Fisher, I should really pay respects to you. What you said is right. They seem to have made up their minds to come here." "Huh? What do you mean?" When Gerent asked this question, Karl told him that the orcs just used us as an excuse, and the actual purpose was to plunder the city.Gerente nodded immediately. "Yes. It seems to be true. Captain Creblin and Anand said the same thing." "yes?" "Yes. The troops in the rear have trolleys, loads of food and so on, and even several flags. Captain Kreblin told me in a frightened tone that the troops in the front only took weapons in order to move quickly. I just killed them, and the rest of them just arrived with food and other supplies. If those guys came after making up their minds to fight for a long time, it can be said that their purpose is unlikely to be us. " "That's right. Um. How many is the army behind them?" "Yes. I don't have much confidence in the calculations, but it should be about the same as the troops that came first." Carl's face turned yellow when he heard that.Shan Sen said with a gloomy expression: "I probably know what the soldier who came to the mayor said just now." Karl expresses his mood simply in one sentence. "Damn..."
The atmosphere in Kanadin City was tense and chaotic as if it had provoked a beehive.Although it was already bright, the sun turned into a round ball that could not make people feel warm because of the dense clouds.Even the wind that brushes against your skin makes you feel uneasy.Some children don't know why they are crying, but they still cry until their throats are about to burst.The native soldiers and the strong men ran here and there in a hurry, each shouting as they ran.In any case, it was a very noisy scene.But only one person seems to be happy.Gerent touched his nose and said, "Oh, the citizens seem to be very disturbed." "Aren't you disturbed? Is it because you are an outsider?" Hearing Ghisien's question, Gerent shrugged. "Everything is done according to Deferi's will. I will stay here because I don't feel at all that Deferi wants me to leave." "what?" Our group stopped in a hurry and looked at Gerente.Shan Sen looked at him with a surprised expression. "Hey, do you mean you want to stay?" "Yes. I have thought about several reasons why I should leave. It is urgent to escort Renee. And the walls of this city are safe. Even if I stay, I can help you in the war against the orcs." What's the job? Although I stood on the wall and calmly thought about these reasons, I just don't want to go. And I know exactly when I felt this way. Hahahaha." "This is Deferi's will." "Yes! Because I acted according to De Feli's will, I have no anxiety at all." Should I also become a follower of De Feli?They don't seem to be upset under any circumstances.Carl nodded. "I just want to say one thing." We all looked at Carl.Carl breathed evenly and said, "I don't know what you think, but we are all free travelers and will not interfere with each other. You should also remember that Miss Xie Renier wanted to leave herself. Just like this, we No one in this group has the right to force another to do something. Of course there are several people who have been entrusted by the Temple of the Great Storm to take up this responsibility to act, but I want to forget this responsibility for a while. Anyway, this During this trip, I often failed to understand the task that was given to me by others." Ghisien folded his hands on his chest, touched his chin and said, "You said you couldn't understand your mission? Are you talking about making Yis?" "Yes. It is the same in this city. Although it is my duty to run towards the Brown Mountains now, I do not wish to stand by and watch the dangers of this city." "Uncle Carl is so handsome! If we just run away, no one can say anything. Because even the mayor of this city told us to go. Are you not married yet? How come you are not married yet?" We all burst out laughing at Nelia's strange question.Carl said with an embarrassed expression: "Probably because the women's vision is correct. Ah, I want to talk about another thing now. Our responsibility is also very important. The waking moments of Klad Meso It's approaching. I don't know about you, but you don't really need that many people going to the Brown Mountains." "Do you mean we should act in batches?" Hearing Ghisien's question, Carl nodded. "Yes. Of course, this must be approved by everyone, but if everyone really agrees, then I think we should be divided into two groups. One group will stay and help the city, and the other group will take Renee to the Brown Mountains." "That opinion doesn't sound like a bad idea." Esaihand immediately spat into the palm of his hand, and grasped the handle of the ax vigorously. "I'll stay here! There are six hundred orc heads now. I'll pick them out and chop them off." Carl smiled slightly.But after a while, that smile turned into a look of embarrassment. Everyone, starting with Isaihand, said they wanted to stay here.Let's hear everyone's reasons. "Didn't I already say it? This is De Feli's will. If you have any reason for me to resist God's will, just tell me." "Oh, how can there be such a reason?" "Although my magic is not powerful enough, I want to stay and help hoe Athelhand. Ah, that, of course I'm not a very good magician, I don't think I can help much in the war..." "No. Who would say Mr. Alvned is a bad magician? Kigored's appearance just now was terribly frightening." "The Duan Ya Sword is not a weapon, but a work of art...Shut up! It's a weapon. What! You're not a weapon, what are you?...I'm sorry. Ah, huh! Anyway, where there are enemies, the weapon should be there The place." "Yes. Of course." "My task is to protect the plenipotentiary of the Hetante territory. I want to stay by Karl's side." "Brother Fisher, this..." "Huh? Shan Sen, why is your mission the same as mine?" "...Brother Niederfa." "I have to take care of my future son." "what?" I made an expression that I was about to pass out, while Carl looked at Nelia and me in turn, not knowing whether to laugh or laugh.Then he showed a desperate expression, turned his head to look at Wen Chai who hadn't answered, and immediately cast his eyes elsewhere.Wen Chai quietly drew out the sword and held it in his hand, reflecting the sunlight.Carl looked at Renee depressedly, and Renee immediately showed rabbit-like eyes and said, "Do you want me to go alone? I don't even know the way!" "I didn't say that, Miss Renee." Carl threw up his hands and we all laughed.Githion nodded with a smile and said, "Because we are all free travelers, we cannot interfere with each other. What are you going to do, Karl?" Carl said with a desperate expression: "Let's discuss how to solve the six hundred orcs as quickly as possible." The name of our battle plan is: "Plan to Destroy 600 Orcs in the Shortest Time." Although there is no creativity, no one will mention it after the name is decided, so you can ignore it. Let's take a look at the members who execute the plan.Carl Hetant, who claims to be a scholar and is known as "using the name of a scholar to tell people's truth with poison", became the commander-in-chief of the plan. "Why am I a mean talker, brother Nieder?" "Didn't you tell me before that people who are really mean talkers pretend to be not poisonous talkers when they say mean things? "I have nothing to say." The members who carry out the plan are: ogres who will be mistaken for humans in many places, warriors who are tortured by magic swords, but can't abandon them because the swords are too good, obey the will of gods, and laugh even when they go to the gallows The priest who almost went to the gallows but was lucky enough to be released by the Jeppen spy, the dwarf who wields an ax so sharp that he can use it to shave all the time, plus the girl who wants to marry a widower with a oil bottle, and also…… "Xiu Qi, please don't mention things like top magicians." "A magician who will get a title he doesn't want." "……Screw you." "Then what am I, Xiuqi?" "A port girl protected by all with love and dedication." "Hehehe." "We have such a colorful cast, Carl. What the hell are you going to do? Cool judgment is needed now more than ever, and that's why I'm telling you, this colorful list may sound good, but I don't see how it's possible for these people to take out six hundred orcs." 卡尔一面微笑一面说：“你越说越夸张了。” “现在我的语气怎么样根本不重要。” “那么我们先解决重要的问题，我们要先找到作战指挥所。但这座城里哪里有这种地方？” “好像还没有设置。啊。克雷布林队长在那里。” 我们望向杉森所指的地方，看到在廊台的另一边和士兵们正在说些什么话的克雷布林队长。他发现了我们之后，做出了惊讶的表情。连忙跑了过来。 “将卡纳丁安全与繁荣的未来这些莫大的责任重重压在身上的战士罗斯·克雷布林正在慌忙地跑向卡纳丁城墙上方聚集的这些多彩多姿的计划成员……” “够了！”我一面摸着被杉森捶了一下的头顶，一面看着克雷布林队长跑过来。克雷布林队长歪着头说：“您为什么待在这里，贺坦特大人？” “叫我卡尔就行了。现在战况如何？” 克雷布林队长整张脸皱了起来，望向城外。 “就跟您所看到的一样。那些家伙第一次的进犯，虽然为弓箭手所击退，但那些家伙的数目好像没怎么减少。” 我望向底下的荒野。蕾妮在旁边喘着气。 "My God." 荒野上到处是半兽人的尸体。虽然尸体数目不是非常多，但由于是散落在什么也没有的荒野上，看了就让人觉得不舒服。其余的半兽人在弓箭射程之外组成了方阵，坐在那里等待命令。依据杰伦特的说法，半兽人的数目膨胀到两倍，当中也偶尔能看到受风招展的旗帜。旗帜上画了些什么图案看不太清楚，但映入眼帘的是令人不舒服的红色。后面还可以看到杰伦特说的攻城锤，正对着城门的方向，是用粗大的原木整根做成的，大到让人无法相信是半兽人搬来的东西。杉森看到这光景，点了点头说：“攻城锤还没来过城边。因为地上看不到轮子的痕迹。” “是的。不久之前的突击只算是跟我们打个招呼而已。它们大部分都把盾牌顶在头上冲了过来，似乎只是想让我们精神疲乏。”吉西恩点点头，说：“或是让我们浪费箭枝。” "That's right." “有准备石头或是滚烫的油吗？” 克雷布林队长失神地望着吉西恩一阵子，然后擦了擦额头说：“不，没那些东西。” “咦？但是那里……” 吉西恩手指之处，是城墙下面跟廊台接触的地方设责的投石孔。 Ok.仔细一看，这座城的外廓真的很有规模。不但有廊台，连投石孔都准备好了。克雷布林队长顺着吉西恩手指的方向看过去，歪着头说：“咦？那里怎么了？” “那里不是有投石孔吗？那你们怎么没准备石头呢？” 克雷布林队长一听，脸都红了。 “那是投石孔吗？我以为是让雨水流出去的洞。”喔，天啊。雨水流出去的洞？需要这么大吗？吉西恩一副受不了的表情，克雷布林队长立刻愧疚地说：“这个，这里本来是跟战争无关的城市。老实说，我平常根本完全忘记了我身处的职位。我们警备队员要处理的只有酒鬼打架、商人在市场争位子，不然就是要阻止最危险的冲突，也就是夫妇吵架，不是用来阻挡进攻城池的半兽人的。” 吉西恩浮现了带有同情的微笑说。 “是吗？但你们还是秩序井然，弓箭手的配置也很了不起。” “是这样啊？如果阿南德来了，我们就会装出一副很厉害的模样。现在阿南德那家伙的经验成了我们很大的助力。我们当中只有他经历过战争，大概他是惟一的军事专家。” 卡尔点了点头，说：“这其是幸运。那个，我们也想帮助各位。我们虽称不上是军事专家，但是在旅行过程中经历过很多事。而且那些半兽人是跟着我们过来的，我们当然会感到有责任。” 卡尔一说完，克雷布林就露出雀跃的表情。 “啊，您真的要帮助我们吗？” “清晨的时候，你不是这样对我们要求的吗？” “啊。我对那时的无理再次谢罪……” “不。没关系的。已经过去的事就别提了，来研究击退半兽人的方法吧。你有什么计划？你说没有准备石头，我想箭枝剩下的也不多。” 克雷布林队长当场露出了凄惨的表情。
用一句话来讲，他们连一样东西都没准备好。一元化的指挥体系、部队间的有机联系、甚至连补给计划都不具备。弓箭手不知道该何时换班，没有弓箭的警备队员不知该在哪里集结、都要准备什么东西，甚至每个人都回自己的家吃饭。Carl sighed.虽然透过阿南德的部置，守住了半兽人的奇袭，但也就是这样而已。 “这太夸张了。市长到底在哪里？” “如果我知道那就好了。” “……我懂了。那就这么办吧，克雷布林队长。让我充当你的临时顾问吧？” "Great." 卡尔立刻开始慌忙地下达命令。由于下得太快，我成了他的临时记录员，在纸上写下一整排需要用到的东西名称。没有弓箭的警备队员依照卡尔的命令拼命地来来去去，从警备队建筑物中搬来了锅子、粮食袋跟其他开伙用具。罗斯·克雷布林队长传话给城中的妇女，一阵子之后，卡纳丁最勇敢的中年妇人们就聚了过来，开始让料理发出香味。卡尔闻到那味道，露出了高兴的笑容。 “战略据点是在城墙附近。这座城外的地形极度平坦，警备队的武器薄弱，绝对不可能出城战斗。所以我们在城里设置防寨好了。” 依照卡尔的指示，警备队员在城门里面设置了瓮城，又称作防寨。嗯，我们贺坦特城里也有这种东西。贺坦特城的防寨是在城门外，用石头跟木头构筑而成，卡纳丁的瓮城则是用干草车、水桶、家具等物做成的，实在不怎么样。但是万一半兽人攻进城来，许多半兽人一定会被瓮城另一边警备队员的长枪刺中。卡尔要那些不会射箭的警备队员拿着长枪，在瓮城后面布阵。在建筑瓮城期间，我将车推来、用力踢那些水桶，又将家具抛上去堆着。卡纳丁的警备队员间开始流传西部来的怪物修奇·尼德法的传闻。Uh.也许几十年之后，这里会出现“在我们城池犹如风中残烛般危险的时候，乘着西风而来的怪物蜡烛匠修奇·尼德法”的传闻吧。 卡尔选了几名最优秀的弓箭手，让他们站在城塔的射击孔后面。 我们就别提罗斯·克雷布林队长指着射击孔，说那是没用的小窗户这件事吧。 “最重要的是各位不可以慌。就算半兽人跑来，也没必要射箭。要射的对象如下：第一，喊得最大声的家伙，第二，拿着旗帜的家伙。 那些半兽人最重要。不用射看起来最害怕的家伙。所以除了刚才提到的半兽人之外，其他的来或不来都没必要射。 " 有一个弓箭手问道：“我可不可以问一下，为什么要射那些家伙？” “因为那些半兽人左右了全体的士气。” "understood." “你们不要等候指示，只要那些半兽人进了射程，就按照自己的意思射它们。” 精选过的射手上了城塔，总数有五十多个。约一百个警备队员则是躲在城内的防寨后待机。 人员配置结束之后，我们一行就跟克雷布林队长、阿南德上了城门上头的城楼。卡尔望着城楼另一边的半兽人说：“这是一百五十对六百。在攻城战来说，一比四这个比率已经很理想了。” “很理想吗？！” “城应具备三种要素。你还记得贺滋里所说理想城池的要素吗？” “啊……在垂直面必须要高，在水平面必须要窄，还有自给自足。” “没错。这座城垂直高度有五十肘。很够了。外面的路也窄得没话说。” “等一下！外面的荒野这么大，你怎么说很窄？” “那些家伙没有梯子。就算有梯子，它们要爬上来也是相当困难的。所以它们只会涌向城门攻击。” "Ah, yes." “而且这座城自给自足，所以光是城墙就可以抵三个人的分。这里的土兵有一百五十人。你算算看？” “没错。所以你是说现在双方势均力敌？” “所以我说是理想的比率。但是卡纳丁这边更有胜算。因为人跟半兽人都会累，但城墙是不会的。” “可是箭怎么办？现在开始拼命做吗？” “那个是有点麻烦。帮我把等一下说的话写下来，啊，要写得让人容易懂。” 城楼里面准备了桌椅。我坐在椅子上，一准备好要写字，卡尔就开始滔滔不绝地说：“'我对坏掉的牙齿跟发臭的鼻孔表达敬意。我带着爱与友情建议你们，如果你们攻击这座城，你们连一只都回不了你们肮脏的洞窟。'你为什么不写？” 我好不容易才停止笑声。 “真的要这样写吗？嘻，嘻嘻嘻。” “当然。'但是不幸地，我们不知道该怎么利用半兽人的皮跟肉，也不想制造让苍蝇高兴的半兽人尸堆。你们活着的时候发臭，但死了之后更是臭气熏天。所以不要攻击这里白白送死。那让人很不愉快。收到这封信就快给我滚。你们的好友。'” “你想要故意把半兽人气得翻白眼吗？” “我平常都在怀疑这么小的眼睛怎么翻白眼。” 我将卡尔说的话适当地润饰了一下，变成更夸张的内容。吉西恩看到我写的东西爆笑了出来，艾赛韩德则是恳请我多写几张类似的东西。这真是为名文，我真想把它贴在自己家的客厅墙上。罗斯·克雷布林队长露出了啼笑皆非的表情，看着卡尔。 “卡尔，您打算故意惹半兽人生气吗？” “我认为在它们消耗我们的箭枝之前，我们应该要先消耗它们的人员。” “您是希望那些家伙看了气得七窍生烟，直接冲过来攻击吗？这种想法不是太天真了？” “我比队长更了解半兽人。让我为这件事负责吧。”克雷布林队长默默地望着卡尔，但是卡尔很有自信地接受了他的视线。最后克雷布林队长点了点头。 “呵……好吧。” 写完信之后，卡尔将信绑在箭上，将脚跨在城楼的栏杆上，对着太阳似的高高举起他的弓。call out! 划过天际的箭一下子就看不见了。艾赛韩德手按额头，望天嘀咕道：“你是要射太阳啊。那东西真的飞得到那边吗？” “已经飞到了，矮人同志。” 回答的是温柴。温柴的眼力到底有多好呢？在空旷的沙漠中长大，眼力还这么好。我眼睛虽然也不算差，但是还是看不到卡尔射出的箭。可是温柴却望着远处说：“可惜的是没射中半兽人。掉到地上了。半兽人正往那边接近。” “好，事情成了。克雷布林队长！请你向士兵下达戒备的命今。在下达全体射击的信号之前，要他们先别射。” “知道了。葛伦！” 葛伦一等兵听取了队长的命令，开始在廊台的四处东奔西跑，将命令传达下去。城楼两边的城墙上，士兵都取出了箭搭在弓弦上，然后将弓放下，注视着城墙外面的动静。每个人都是一副紧张的表情。 旁边传来了吞口水的声音，我回头一看，原来是亚夫奈德紧握着拳头，一脸紧张。他手上有一个很奇怪的东西。那东西就像是小的玩具铲子。到底亚夫奈德的袋子里还有些什么稀奇古怪的小东西？ 一时之间城墙上的人跟半兽人两边都维持着寂静。一阵子之后，高喊的吵杂声传来。还是那只带着黑色头盔的半兽人声音。 “这些该死的人类家伙！全体突击！” 罗斯·克雷布林队长露出了啼笑皆非的表情，卡尔微笑着轻声说道：“啊，客人们来了。”
