Chapter 4 Zalanda's Plan

"Proposal? What proposal?" Luo Ang failed to follow Zalanda's train of thought for a moment. His anger, instead of suppressing it, was rising.

Gavin, who was following Zalanda with a low eyebrow, became more and more angry as he looked at her, believing that this boy was pretending everything.

"I have already mentioned the reasons for withdrawing from Fort Nott. The arrival of the gods last year caused the magic network to shake. The weather was chaotic and abnormal. The autumn food harvest was poor. The winter was long and cold. It was almost worse than the Northland and most areas of Tethyr. They are all suffering from food shortages, and the monster groups traveling in the mountains have been able to persist until now, which is their limit.

Now those who are besieging Fort Nott are only the surrounding small tribes. Once the large tribes in the mountains all emerge and form an army, we will not be able to withdraw no matter how much we want to! ” Zalanda again elaborated on her thoughts.

"Where to run? How to run?" Luo Ang did not object as strongly as yesterday.

This is thanks to the passage opened by the group of goblins just now. Now it is just a small tribe of goblin slaves led by the hobgoblins. They have made Nott Castle such a mess. If a large number of monsters pour out, the small castle of Nott Castle will be in such a mess. The castle will be flooded in minutes.

Zalanda was obviously prepared. He pulled out a simple Tessel map and pointed on it: "Dalauma, this is our best choice."

"Dalauma? So far away? Why not go to Hansenburg? It's at least half the distance away from Dalauma." Luo Ang's brows knitted into a knot.

"The reason I just said is that this year's monster riots are different from previous years. The small-scale robberies in previous years will be bypassed as long as they encounter hard bones, giving the lords from various places the opportunity to defeat them separately. Once they gather into an army, their courage will be If it grows bigger, it is likely to capture the city. Hansen Fort is said to withstand the siege of a thousand goblins. What if it becomes three thousand or five thousand? Only the walls of Dalauma can withstand the monster army." Zalanda took the trouble. explained.

Ost whispered behind Roang: "What Captain Zalanda said makes sense. The city of Darauma has high walls and many defenders. Although it is far away, the most important thing is safety. As long as we select a cavalry team, One person and two horses, changing horses without changing people, can arrive in less than three days. "

Before Zalanda could speak, Gavin said in a strange tone: "Choose a cavalry group? One person and two horses? According to the captain of the guard, you just want to run away, and don't care about the life and death of the people in Fort Nott?"

Roang's eyes widened and he asked with disbelief: "Isn't it true? Or is Captain Zalanda planning to take all the people in his territory and flee to Darauma?"

"Isn't it?" Zalanda answered Luo Ang with a rhetorical question.

Luo Ang and Oster stared at each other for a while, their expressions extremely ugly.

To go to Darauma, it would take three days for one person and two people to ride, and if you were dragging your family with you, you would not have to walk for ten days.

The longer they are exposed in the wild, the more dangerous they become.

Leaving his subjects behind and escaping on his own, this matter is easy to talk about or not. No matter how shameless Luo Ang is, he can't force the matter.

Zalanda was not surprised by the exposed limits of these two men, and directly revealed his overall plan: "When we just launched the attack, I had already scouted and estimated the strength of the monsters besieging the city.

They look huge, but in fact, the main force is goblins. There are less than two hundred hobgoblins who are really the main force. As long as we find a way to defeat this hobgoblin, the remaining goblins will disperse in a rush and will fight for us. Allow two to three days for your retreat.

After leaving Fort Nott, we did not go straight to Dalauma, but walked eastward toward Mir Forest. In two days at most, we could reach Kami Village, and then transfer to Dalauma.

Doing this may seem like a long detour, but the elves in Mir Forest will help us block the monster group in the eastern mountains. We don't have to worry about being flanked, and we only need to concentrate on dealing with the monsters following us.

The most dangerous thing is the two-day journey from Fort Nott to Kami Village. "

After hearing Zalanda's plan, Roang and Ost looked much better. At least in their opinion, this plan was very feasible.

Oster quickly raised a new question, "Captain Zalanda just said that the premise of all this is to defeat the goblin army outside Fort Nott. What did Captain Zalanda do to do this?" a little?

With just that cavalry and fifty militiamen in your hands? It's not that I look down on those militiamen. If they rely on the city wall to deal with the goblin cannon fodder, they are quite competent. If they are released to fight in the field with enemies several times their size, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing and useless. "

Zalanda nodded repeatedly and said: "The analysis of the captain of the guard is very correct. It is really difficult to fight in the field with the equipment in the hands of the militiamen. Even if they win the final victory, they will be completely destroyed. But if we cooperate with the treasure house of Nott Castle With the equipment in hand, the situation will be greatly improved. After all, these goblins have just emerged from the marching mountains. Even the big goblins don't have a few decent weapons in their hands. The inferior weapons of those goblins can't even break through medium armor. "

"No, absolutely not." Luo Ang's voice was three points sharper and he said loudly, "The equipment in the treasure house has been accumulated by the Nott family for three generations. How can it be used casually? Especially for a group of people. militia!"

This time, even Ost could not speak for Roang. They were all preparing to retreat from Nott Castle. Roang was still guarding his treasure house and was reluctant to use it. Could it be that he was planning to move away together? Or should you leave it to the monster armies that are about to occupy this place, equip them to hunt you down?

"I support my brother in this matter. After all, there is also a part of me in it." Gavin, who had been listening, jumped out and said, "But, dear Brother Luoang, have you ever thought about how to transport these equipment?

The equipment inside is not a small number, especially those heavy equipment. A carriage can only hold a few pieces. We can't leave them to those monsters. It would be even more unfair to our ancestors if we destroy them?

Sister Zalanda, you didn't say that you won't return them after you distribute them. At most, you will borrow them. When you arrive at Dalauma, you will return them in full. At that time, you can protect our safety and transport as many equipment as possible to Dalauma. At that time, whether it is sold or hoarded, we still have the final say. Compared with these benefits, what is the depreciation during this period?"

How could Zalanda not hear that Gavin was speaking for Luoang, but in fact Actually, he was helping himself, and nodded in agreement: "It is indeed just borrowing. As long as all the people are escorted to Dalaoma, all weapons and armor will be returned in full. At that time, all the people will remember the kindness of the Baron. One day, when the monsters are driven back to the mountains, I believe that many people will be grateful for this kindness and follow the Baron back to Notburg to continue to serve the Baron."

Roan just had an instinctive reaction of a miser, and he was not really stupid. He said, "Since you all said so, it would be inhumane if I don't allow it, but I have a request."

"What request? Baron, just say it." Zalanda's face flashed a trace of joy that could not be concealed. The sooner they can do Roan's work, the sooner they can act, and she will have more confidence - the confidence of safely retreating with the people of Notburg.

Thanks to all the old and new friends for their support. I didn't expect that after I stood you up for so long, you still showed me so much love. Thank you very much. I hope that this time I can have a better story to accompany you. If you have any comments, please feel free to give me some suggestions.
