Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 107 Military Meeting
After the misunderstanding, the werewolf cavalry began to patrol around the hill in an area of ​​nearly thirty miles, ensuring that they could discover the enemy's traces as soon as possible.

The Fed archers of the Second Legion, armed with bows and arrows, tripled the sentries on the hill. Not even a mouse could escape their sharp eyes.

The residents of Gaoya Castle had no idea what was going on, but they were keenly aware that something was wrong and hurriedly returned to their cabins with their children in their arms. Through the windows, they could see pairs of nervous eyes inside.

The hill was home to the River Claw Tribe, the Fed Tribe, and the Evil Fang Tribe.

As for the trolls, monsters, goblins, and kobold slaves, they were all placed downwind at the foot of the hill.

Compared to the panic on the hill, the slaves of High Cliff Castle who had not received any news were still repeating their previous work.

The trolls pulled cartloads of clay for building earthen blast furnaces from a clay field not far away to the blacksmith shop by the rushing river.

From the blacksmith shop came the sound of metal colliding continuously.

The roof was specially built to be four blades and five meters high. The blacksmith shop was extremely spacious, fully capable of allowing these three-blade-high trolls to display their fists and feet.

Their arms were as thick as old wood, and every time they swung their hammers, sparks flew. Their efficiency was much higher than that of Fed's apprentice.

It can be said that the fact that Highcliff Castle can produce weapons in such large quantities is largely due to this group of hammer-wielding trolls.

It has been more than half a month since the entire tribe arrived at Highcliff Castle, and these trolls have completely adapted to life here.

You only need to work hard every day to get plenty of food.

Now that no one is forcing them, they will come to forge iron on their own initiative, for fear that Highcliff Castle will drive them away. Every troll feels secretly delighted as if they have picked up a great bargain.

The castrated goblin slaves who survived still tried their best to open up enough fields before the winter planting season.

As for the ogres, except for Old Neil and the dozens of ogres who were guarding the goblins, the others were all sent to the Fed tribe to mine and contribute to the military industry of High Cliff Castle.

At this time, a pre-war military meeting was being held in the lord's hall. All the leaders of Highcliff Castle were present, and Miriel and Orlak participated as special guests.

Joss recounted everything that happened in the Fengsong tribe.

At that time, he was escorting supplies with his soldiers and preparing to return to Highcliff Castle. Unexpectedly, he met several werewolf scouts after just a few steps.

After the Fed soldiers shot him down, they were about to catch him and ask him what he was doing, but unexpectedly, a coalition force of at least two thousand people appeared behind him.

Jos, whose face turned pale with fear, didn't think twice and started to flee with his soldiers, leaving behind the supplies.

This coalition force that appeared out of nowhere was obviously not going to let them go, and sent out a squad of 20 Werewolf cavalry to pursue them.

Later, by chance, they encountered a tribe of orcs heading south. With the help of the orcs, they dealt with the pursuing cavalry and extracted a large amount of intelligence through torture.

This also ensured that Gaoyabao would not be completely blind when facing the enemy.

The lord was shocked when he first heard that this team was the dragon army.

He naturally remembered that a giant dragon had come to the wilderness and became a neighbor of Highcliff Castle.

The dragon is a powerful magical creature that has been taken seriously since ancient times.

Although they no longer have impressive magic, their dragon breath that can melt steel, their scales as hard as iron, and their wings that can soar into the sky allow these creatures to still be at the top of the food chain.

It is no exaggeration to say that one dragon can defeat a thousand troops. Moreover, a dragon is a creature with a terrifying appeal. Even if it does nothing, there will be a large number of goblins, kobolds or lizardmen rushing to become its followers.

And in the wilderness full of foreign races, they are obviously more like fish in water.

As far as Levi could remember, a giant dragon could easily raise a ragtag army of tens of thousands of followers just by relying on its reputation.

For example, in the dark swamp in the west, a black dragon known as the "Queen of Thorns" occupies this place, and she has nearly 50,000 to 60,000 followers under her.

Even the big country of San Jose is troubled and can only allow it to dominate on the edge of its territory.

Even if all the people in Gaoyabao were counted, they would not be even a fraction of the enemy's. If the enemy really reached this scale, he could ask Debe for help.

After all, this location is not far from Derby. The Kingdom of Derby will definitely not sit idly by and watch a giant dragon grow and become the next "Queen of Thorns".

Nipping it in the bud is definitely the most cost-effective approach.

Fortunately, Joss had interrogated the lord for this information in advance, which made the lord, who was almost frightened, feel relieved.

Compared with the Queen of Thorns' dragon army, this legion is just like a fledgling, with only about 4,000 people, half of whom are weaklings such as goblins and ogres.

"With only a little over 4,000 people, you dare to call yourself the Dragon Army?"

The lord, who was almost frightened to the point of writing to Florina for help, was full of confidence again, "Very good, I ignored it, but now it has come to me on its own."

"Then fight! Let them know that the things in Highcliff Castle are not so easy to take."

When Levi learned that the dragon had migrated and become a neighbor of Highcliff Castle, in order to avoid conflict, he deliberately avoided this area no matter what he did.

I didn't expect that someone would come to me on their own initiative.

Whether it is to resolve this thorn in the side or for some other reason, this war is inevitable.

However, the lord's motto is to despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically.

"In addition, we must consider the possibility of the opponent's dragon joining the battlefield!" Levi knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention.

To the lord, the enemy is just a famous group. In essence, they are no different from the wilderness bandits who robbed the iron ore some time ago. They are all ragtag troops with poor equipment.

In the past, he was able to lead Gaoya Castle to defeat the strong with the weak, not to mention that Gaoya Castle has now become several levels stronger.

The only thing that the lord is afraid of is the giant dragon. To be honest, he is not sure if he can withstand a dragon's breath.

"I don't think we need to worry too much about this issue." Miriel expressed her opinion.

"Oh?"

Levi was delighted by Miriel's confident look. Could it be that Miriel had a way to deal with this dragon?

"Because I don't think Highcliff Castle has the ability to deal with a giant dragon." Miriel said the second half of the sentence sincerely: "Lord Li, let's retreat back to White Flow City! It's not shameful. We still have the capital left, and we can come back sooner or later."

All the people in Highcliff Castle added up to no more than 4,000 people. Miriel didn't know why the lord would use such an arrogant word as "only" to describe this giant dragon army.
