Chapter 175 Return and Valley Mobilization
"I'm almost certain that he chatted with me for a long time just to say that last thing."
"After all, no amount of rumors can cure the groom's headache."
In Changhu Town, Li Wei locked up the two horses and left them there without entrusting anyone to take care of them.
"Elves are all like this, especially elves who have lived for so long, but to be honest, elves like Orohir are still rare."
As Falodan spoke, bursts of white energy rose.
It's getting colder.
The wanderer and the lord ended their journey.
"Don't you want to stay here for a while?" Levi asked.
"My compatriots still need me, I have to go back."
"Then you're really busy."
Farodan couldn't help but turn around and said, "Even if I have twice as many things to do, I won't be as busy as you."
"Just look at the rumors that have been flying around in the past few years."
Levi was speechless for a moment.
As Falodan said, not long after sending him away, another person came over.
"You're finally back."
Bud looked at the construction site outside the town and said: "The road construction has reached a critical point. There are some things I can't make decisions on."
"What's up?"
"It's about the Misty Mountains."
After a while, the two sat in front of a warm stove. Bud made Levi a cup of tea as usual, then spread a map on the table, pointed to the line drawn by Levi and said:
"The project is progressing smoothly, and it has now been built near the Misty Mountains."
“But this mountain is the issue I’m talking about.”
Bud pointed to a point near the pass and said: "If you want to continue the road, you have to dig up the mountain. Of course, this is not difficult. After all, the residents can use the great cube magic you shared. "
"It's just a little unexpected."
"While following the route you drew, the road builder at the front accidentally dug a huge cave."
"Is there something wrong with the cave?"
"Yes, and it's big."
Bard said: "Because that place is called Orc Town, and there are too many goblins in it, which almost caused us casualties."
Levi said immediately: "Then I will kill them all or drive them away."
These goblins have occupied the area near the pass for a long time, and many pedestrians have suffered from them. Even if their front hall is blocked, it is only blocked, and they still live deep underground around there.
Goblins are good at digging in caves, and no one can guarantee that a "side hall" will not suddenly appear one day.
It just so happens that since it was brought up, let's take this opportunity to clean it up.
Levi looked at Bard, but Bard did not respond to what he said for a while.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just think it's not good."
Bud sat down and looked at Levi very seriously.
"Not so good?"
Levi didn't understand a bit.
"Are you pitying those goblins?"
"I told you a long time ago, Bud, your mercy should not be used in useless places..."
"No!"
Bard took the initiative to interrupt Levi's words, which was quite rare.
"I never felt sorry for those goblins or orcs, I just wanted to say-"
"You don't have to do this yourself. If all the troubles in a territory have to be solved by the lord, it will only make everyone look like a baby in a cradle."
"Oh?" Levi couldn't help but chuckle.
"so?"
"So the main reason I came here this time is to report on some of the territory's development results, and to seek your opinions or approval on certain actions."
"Do you still remember what we discussed before? You mentioned it every time during the first two meetings."
“…”
Listening to Bud's words, Levi was a little stuck for a moment.
There's nothing I can do, there's really been a lot going on recently, and my memory is all confused. What did you say at that time?
Seeing his lord in a daze, Bard was helpless. He reminded:
"You once said to strengthen border security and expand the military appropriately."
"Later, when discussing education issues, I said that we should also pay attention to sports."
"Yes."
The memory gradually came back to life, and Levi said: "I said this, I hope that residents can take up arms to protect themselves when facing danger, instead of just waiting for death to come."
So what does this guy understand?
"What's the result?" Levi asked.
Bader replied: "In accordance with these two instructions of yours, I gathered representatives from various communities and relevant practitioners to hold a meeting."
"The final result of the discussion is-"
"All the people are soldiers."
"For more than half a year, all healthy people, regardless of gender or profession, have been taught combat skills in their free time. Now it has begun to bear fruit."
"We can form an army at any time to attack the Orc Town and completely drive out the Goblins there."
"You don't have to do it yourself at all."
"Just a nod."
Bud said the thing for which he was seeking approval.
A certain string in Levi's mind finally clicked.
With the current production capacity of the territory, there is no shortage of weapons and equipment, and logistics is not a problem at all.
Plus, in the Battle of Five Armies a few years ago, almost all adult males took up arms and participated in the defense of the city. They already had some practical experience, and then they received subsequent training...
That is to say, in theory, all people who meet the standards in the territory can immediately put on armor and fight, and they all have some experience.
It's really a national army.
"How?"
Bard said again: "The new army needs to be tempered, and those goblins who are weaker than Orcs but fierce enough are just right."
"Well, when you think about it, it is indeed necessary."
Levi nodded.
He said: "I will go with you."
Bard's expression suddenly became serious: "We will do our best and will not let you down."
He said so.
Although the goblins in the Orc Town can be dealt with by himself, or even without taking action, just go over and take a walk, but for various considerations, Levi still chose to listen to Bard's opinion.
In the discussion in front of the fireplace, Levi was the commander-in-chief of the expedition to the Orc Town, and Bard was the deputy assistant.
After a while, Levi walked out of the mayor's office and scratched his head after listening to Bard setting the date and route of the attack in a daze.
Leading the army to the battle... me?
Levi still didn't react.
It was actually quite embarrassing to talk about this matter. Since he came to this world, he has fought many battles of all sizes over the years. He has defended cities, killed enemy generals, and destroyed armies alone.
But it seems that most of these things were done by himself.
This is the first time that he has led the army as a commander.
In the Battle of Five Armies, although humans, elves, and dwarves all tacitly agreed that Levi was one of the commanders and had the right to command and mobilize the army, he never used this power because -
It was unnecessary.
On the battlefield, Levi was the freest existence from beginning to end - neither commanded by others nor commanding anyone.
The former was because no one had the right to do so, and the latter was because he didn't want to do so.
The only exception was Oak, yes, that time when he made random flag signals on Azog's command platform.
In any case, what Bard said made sense.
This time, Levi decided to leave the matter to the people.
So, when everything was finalized, new news came out.
"The lord personally led the team to attack the goblins in the Orc Town?"
War will, restlessness, faith... some inexplicable emotions swept through the streets and alleys.
Then, they gathered together.
In a place that Levi didn't know, Bard quickly formulated a temporary decree to limit the total number of people going out.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
