Chapter 246 All ran away

"It's just some Orcs, they don't need reinforcements."

Gandalf and Balin frowned when they heard this.

"It's just... there are tens of thousands of Orcs, and there must be trolls and various beasts. I know you are strong, Levi. If it's just you, you can kill one back and forth from the army, but this is defense. You have to defend this territory, but you are not those stone giants as big as mountains, and you can't stop them all at the same time."

"While you are doing something, there must be other places that you can't take care of."

"Of course I understand."

Levi smiled and said, "Faloddan, can you tell me how many rangers are around here?"

"Your own... forget it."

Faloddan gave up on the one in front of him. He stopped preaching in his offline head and said, "From the Windy Hills to the South Hill, and then from the South Hill to the River Corner, we can probably gather more than a thousand rangers in three days."

"By the way, since our hidden gathering place is not far from here, my people can also come to support us, but you know our situation, hundreds of people are the limit."

The vagrants are already scarce, and most of them are scattered throughout Eriador. Maybe you can encounter vagrants anywhere in this wilderness, but it is obviously unlikely to encounter many vagrants at once, which is even less likely than Levi staying in the territory to do his work.

"There is also the roadside fort. Judging from the training situation in recent years, excluding the rangers who are out for internship, there are about 3,000 ready-made troops that can be mobilized."

"Three thousand soldiers plus more than a thousand rangers."

Gandalf summarized for him.

"Enough, these people are enough to deal with the gathered Orcs, as long as we can deal with the Ringwraiths and their unknown means."

"Ha, don't forget there is a dwarf here, my axe will work for you, oh but I don't think I brought it, can you find me one?" Balin looked at Levi.

"Of course, there will be, whatever axe you want, we can have it."

After agreeing with Balin, Levi looked at Farodan again.

"Is that all?"

"These are all we can gather here in a short time."

After that, the meeting hall fell into silence.

"What's wrong?" Gandalf was the first to break the quiet atmosphere.

Isn't that enough?

More than 4,000 elites, make the wall higher, and get some iron golems inside. As long as the Ringwraiths can be dealt with, the army of Moria will never be able to attack.

Similar things have been staged in the Battle of Five Armies, when the difference in the number of people on both sides was much greater than it is now.

And Farodan just said that these are all that can be gathered in a short time. As the war progresses and the news spreads, the number of people on his side will only increase.

The reinforcements from our side kept coming, but Oak's number was decreasing.

"Not enough."

Levi suddenly spoke.

Of course, we can defend the city, but...

"I want to see the limits of the territories."

Levi stood up and said, "I'll go to other territories."

"Other territories, which one do you mean?"

"All."

On that day, hundreds of people in the construction team stopped all other work and accelerated the construction of the city wall.

Since it was built by the river, the workload required to build the city wall was much smaller, and the river could serve as a natural barrier.

Under the expedited work of the construction team, the base of the city wall was built in just one morning, and it was considered to have a prototype. The next thing to do was to raise it higher and higher.

Just keep building up and increasing the height. As for the structure, stability or adhesion, there is no need to consider it at all.

As long as it is still in the territory, it will be built to the maximum no matter how it is built.

"He's gone."

Outside the castle, the three people were a little at a loss.

Bahrain turned around and asked the other two for advice.

"Then what should we do?"

"We should knock on his head to let him know that the lord should not leave before the war."

Gandalf narrowed his eyes.

Faloddan patted the shoulder of the old man who was sometimes in a bad mood and comforted him: "He is like that, don't be angry with him."

"Although he doesn't seem reliable at ordinary times, he will definitely come back at the critical moment."

"Or do you think he is a person who will joke about the lives of his people?"

"Of course not."

Gandalf shook his head.

"From what I have seen, there is no one in the world who cares more about the lives of his people than him, even the elves living outside the world."

"Then believe him."

With that, Faroddan rode on his horse.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Roadside Castle to organize and mobilize."

After Levi left, this task was naturally handed over to Faroddan, even though he did not join Roadside Castle in name.

But in fact, Roadside Castle did not have a corresponding position, or it had not been established yet, so usually whoever was suitable would be given the job.

At present, the most suitable person to do this is Faluodan. In terms of age and combat experience, he may not be the best among the nomads, but in terms of understanding of Levi's territory and Levi himself in this area, he is definitely better than most people.

This is indeed the case. When Faluodan came to the roadside fort and explained all the situations clearly, most of the nomad instructors and people who were stationed there for training recommended him as the leader of this operation.

As for the reserve commanders set up for safety, there are so many that they have to be numbered.

Everyone is a soldier, but everyone can be a commander when necessary - although this has not been fully realized yet, due to the implementation of relevant policies, many territories have already shown this trend.

At the gate of the riverside castle, Gandalf and Balin looked at each other.

After Levi, Farodan also left quickly. Now there are only two people who are least familiar with the territory.

"Are you leaving too?"

Balin looked up and asked.

"Leave? Where can I go?"

"I can't leave."

Gandalf sighed.

"Levi and Farodan, who has a record of killing Ringwraiths, have left. Now there are some unexpected situations that only I can deal with. I have to stay here to guard for them."

"Okay, then I'll follow you."

Balin nodded.

"Follow me."

Gandalf pushed open the gate of the riverside castle and said, "According to Levi's instructions, the armory is on the left. You can take this opportunity to find a handy weapon."

Clang.

When the door of the armory opened, Balin's eyes lit up.

"Elves, dwarves, humans...even orcs, all kinds of weapons made by all races are here."

"It's great. If I could have such an armory, I could sit here and admire them all day long."

"This is it."

He picked up a dwarven steel battle axe.

"I like this."

"It's big, hard, heavy and sharp. No orc's head can withstand it."
