Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 108 I have never fought such a tough battle in my life
She calculated in her mind that there were more than 300 active soldiers in Gaoya Castle, including werewolf cavalry, Fed warriors, and orc barbarians. They were all powerful races and their combat effectiveness was unquestionable. Apart from their small number, they had no other shortcomings.

But even if all the young and strong men in Gaoya Fort who could join the battle were mobilized, they could only gather about a thousand men at most.

This huge gap in numbers would put them at a disadvantage even in a city defense battle, not to mention that there was a giant dragon on the other side to back them up.

Miriel didn't know where the lord got the confidence from. He actually had the nerve to say such arrogant words as "There are only 4,000 people on the other side" and acted as if he was sure of winning.

"You've disturbed the morale of the army before the battle even begins. If you weren't a woman, I would have given you ten lashes long ago."

The lord stood up and slapped the table with an unsightly look on his face.

He thought Miriel had some brilliant ideas, but his arrival dampened morale and persuaded people to retreat.

"Is it so difficult for you to admit that you are no match for your opponent?" Miriel was inexplicably angry when he saw Levi, who was unaware of his mistake. "Do you know what a ten-to-one difference in numbers means? Do you know what a giant dragon means?"

Miriel became more and more excited. He slapped the conference table hard, stood up, and roared: "You haven't even seen a dragon! I tell you, the size of a dragon is enough to cover the sky. It's like the end of the world, and people can't even think of resisting. A breath of dragon can melt hundreds of your most elite soldiers alive!"

"I once witnessed a giant dragon being controlled by someone to participate in a war. It took only half a day to completely defeat a group of 4,000 soldiers!"

"What you are doing is sending your soldiers to their deaths!"

After shouting out all the words in her heart at once, Miriel felt much better.

She said so much just because she hoped that the lord would not hold on to unrealistic ideas. Retreating to Bailiu City was the best option at the moment.

She did not have the virtue of compassion for the world like the saints of the Holy See, but she simply did not want to watch this group of people who she could still get along with die in vain and make meaningless sacrifices.

"Half a day? One sunset is enough for me!"

Zat, who had been keeping silent and trying to keep a serious face, suddenly laughed out loud, and the solemn lord's hall also erupted with laughter loud enough to overturn the dome.

Apart from Miriel, only Orak didn't understand the joke. But in order to fit in with this young group, this old orc who was over fifty years old also touched his head and smiled foolishly.

Miriel had a look of despair on his face. His big white chest was beating with anger, and he cursed these hopeless stubborn people in his heart.

Only the old men in Gaoya Castle knew that the lord was not lying. There were nearly 4,000 people in the Wilderness Alliance, but the lord only led a guard of 50 people and a few hundred people to defend the city.

In just half an hour, this group of wilderness coalition forces fled, leaving behind thousands of corpses, and suffered the bitter fruit of defeat alone.

So Miriel's words actually boosted their self-confidence.

Four thousand people? It's not like they haven't fought before.

As for the dragon? How many armies can a dragon command?
"This temporary military meeting is over! So what if it's a giant dragon? Anyone who dares to provoke High Cliff Castle will be beaten!" The lord brought the meeting to an end.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

"Yes!"

The leaders of the Burning Legion in Highcliff Castle stood up suddenly, saluted with one hand, and their military boots on both sides made a crisp "click" sound when they touched each other.

This scared the sulking Miriel. She didn't expect that in the face of such a situation, these warriors of High Cliff Castle would still have such terrifying morale.

Orlak followed the young people's actions and felt that the dormant blood in his body was gradually awakening. He grinned and revealed two fangs.

"Dragon, I've never fought such a tough battle in my life!"

When Orlak was young, he was nicknamed "Storm Roar", which meant that he was as powerful and belligerent as a storm, and his temper was naturally as explosive as a storm. In order to find an enemy of equal strength, he even went to the Arctic Icefield alone to find a snow bear, just to wrestle with it.

As it grows older and has more responsibilities, it has to control its temper and gradually become mature and stable.

But this does not mean that its violent temper and bellicosity disappear, on the contrary, after becoming restrained, they begin to accumulate, and when the right opportunity is reached, they will burst out like an ocean wave, unstoppable.

"Tina, go write a letter to your Mil and ask him to rush to High Cliff Castle." Levi gave the order. Although he felt a little heavy in his heart, he was more excited.

In the past, I just played house with a bunch of wilderness bumpkins. This is the first time I’m fighting a tough guy. If I can defeat this dragon, both my reputation and money will increase significantly.

After all, it is rumored that dragons possess treasures that are rich enough to rival a country.

"No problem." Beristina nodded and smiled gracefully.

She didn't learn anything from Levi except to trust him. This lord would never do anything without confidence!

No one is a fool. The basis for stubbornness is nothing but strength.

The leaders of the Burning Legion walked away, hugging each other's shoulders, talking and laughing. Miriel looked at their backs and didn't quite understand.

It would be fine if they could maintain their morale in the face of a powerful enemy like a dragon, but why is there no sense of tension at all when the war is about to begin?

"It's good enough that they can maintain their morale in the face of this situation, but why are you not nervous at all?" Miriel murmured.

These words happened to be heard by the Lord.

"You don't understand this, right? An infantry corps of more than 4,000 people, even if it's a regular army, obviously can't be much faster, let alone a group of ragtag troops in the wilderness." The Lord explained, "Adding some miscellaneous things to the delay, it's more than a day's journey from here to the Fengyong Tribe, and conservatively estimated that it will take four or five days for the enemy to arrive."

"If you're nervous now, then what's the point of fighting?"

Thousands of people in Gaoya Fort began to work and prepare for the coming war.

Levi left Orak alone, he had something to ask the old orc.

"Orak, do you have any way to deal with the dragon?" Levi asked directly.

This old orc is a dragon vein orc, and he also knows three kinds of witchcraft. Levi came over with the idea that there might be a chance of getting something for nothing.

"Ah I?"

Orlak was stunned for a moment, then he laughed bitterly and said, "My lord, I have the blood of a dragon, but to put it nicely, it's dragon vein, and to put it bluntly, it's a dragon blood bastard."

"What can I do against a pure dragon?"

"Sorry, I took it for granted." Levi was not too disappointed and waved his hand to let the old orc leave.

However, Levi always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something. He thought hard for a while, but was dumbfounded when he remembered it.

"Wait, where's that old guy Sam? I just saw him."
