Chapter 287: Solid as a Rock

At night, Renault seemed to have had a long dream...

He dreamed that he had become the governor of the Northern Territory with a large number of troops, commanding an army of hundreds of thousands. Then the empire was in danger, and he was ordered to rescue... His army suffered heavy casualties. In the flames of the war, he vaguely saw a man whose clothes were stained red with blood. The cloaked blond general…

"Hoo ho ho!" Renault suddenly stood up, cold sweat could not stop flowing, his eyes were full of fear and surprise.

"Sir?" the guard poked his head in and said quietly.

"Stay back! I'm fine!" Renault waved his hand, with some helplessness and thought in his eyes.

"Yes!" The guard cupped his fists and saluted, preparing to exit.

"Wait! What time is it now?" Renault rubbed his head.

"My lord, there are still two hours before sunrise. How about you sleep a little longer?" the guard said, looking at the tired Renault.

"No, let me go take a look! By the way, those damn orcs didn't do anything in the middle of the night, right?" Renault rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"That's not true! But they are again cutting down trees overnight to build siege equipment! There is probably a big move today!" Apophis Breo walked in and looked at Renault.

"I just went on an inspection tour. The situation is not bad. Our people can hold on. We just have to wait and see when these orcs can be driven back!" Apophis Breo sighed helplessly. Neither side could do anything. When facing each other, the competition of perseverance is very important.

"Is there enough food in the fortress?" Renault asked, remembering nothing at all.

"Food for a year and a half is not a problem! The problem is water! There is only one well in the city! The water output is limited!" Apophis Breo said to Renault.

"It's okay! Just tell everyone to save a little water!" Renault smiled heartily. What's the problem? That’s not a problem, okay! At worst, everyone can wash less for a while, or eat more dry food and less watery food! It is enough to keep enough drinking water, but as for the quality of life? If the broken city is going to die, why should we care about the quality of life!

"General Renault, you said that the Grand Guild will not send reinforcements..." Apophis Breo said worriedly. Isn't the reason why the orcs are not attacking in a large scale now because the orcs haven't figured out the situation of Lulong Fortress yet? After all, the previous paragraph Time doesn’t have this thing yet! On the other hand, they still have a sense of awe for the city-states next to the rushing river. After all, a certain dragon knight almost lost the forbidden spell to the Bolger army!

"I hope the Grand Guild will listen to my suggestion..." Renault sighed helplessly. If there were reinforcements, he hoped that they would not be sent by Archduke Nyx, but by His Highness Roland. After all, Roland brought not only powerful heavy infantry but also dragon cavalry generals and sixth-level heroes!

"Counting the time... His Highness should be back soon!" Reno thought about Roland's agreement with them, and calculated the time and Roland should be back soon.

"Yes! If His Highness comes back, these rotten fish and shrimps dare to show off their power in front of us?" Apophis Breo looked at the orc camp in the distance. The messy camp was spread out in the jungle, as if he knew Renault unfolded it unscrupulously as if there were not enough troops in his hands.

"Damn it! If I had a knighthood in my hands! Oh! Dragon God! I will definitely go out and send them to you!" The veins on Renault's head were beating wildly. The death-seeking behavior of these orcs deeply provoked him, so he said If there really was an army of knights, most of the orcs below would definitely be killed or injured!

"Give up! You didn't!" Apophis Breo patted Renault's shoulder to break his illusion ruthlessly.

"Oh! Thank you!" Renault gritted his teeth and thanked Apophis Breo.

In the early morning light, the Lulong Fortress under the rule of the Kingdom of Lagrand is as solid as a rock. It is like the eternal perseverance on this land. The purple-black city wall adds a bit of color difference. It is the blood of the orcs, just like another. A world-class orc still suffered a bloody blow under this fortress!

…

Graton Plains, Deno Village!

"God! Is this place so dilapidated?" Roland's eyes widened. Is this more than dilapidated? This place is almost in ruins!

Roland's eyes twitched as he looked at this village, which Lance defined as dilapidated and decadent. The walls of the village... forget it, let's call them mounds...

"Can this guard against orcs?" Roland turned to look at his generals, the thirst for knowledge in his eyes even Sauron could see.

"Um~ You should probably be able to guard against wild beasts!" Kaslo lowered his eyebrows, saying this even felt like it was against his will!

"Omsk calls the door!" Roland shook his head.

"Ahem! This is His Royal Highness Roland, the king of Lagrand Kingdom! We hope to stay here for one night. Our king swears in the name of the king that he will pay the reward and not disturb everyone's lives!" Ormsk mustered up fighting spirit. said loudly.

"Oh my God! That army is here again?"

"what should we do?"

"Quick... find the village elder!"

The two crooked militiamen guarding the "city" had already been frightened into fighting. With the more than 400 people under Roland's command, they could push this place effortlessly.

"Um... welcome to you, the king! I, the mayor of Denuo Village, Jin Dan, am honored to do so! What can I do for you? Your Highness!" Jin Dan bent down, took off his hat, put a flower on his arm and faced Roland. A gift.

"I can't speak of service! Let's borrow a place to sleep for one night and leave tomorrow! Do you have any objections?" Roland said casually while sitting on the horse and playing with the dragon-slaying sword.

"Of course... of course! Of course not! Please!" Looking at the heavily armored tin cans outside, the Jindan Village Chief quickly wiped the cold sweat from his head. I wonder if I have any opinions? The kingdom that flew this flag must be extremely powerful. Jin Dan looked at the Laglang dragon flag and sighed, these fully armed soldiers are expensive! Even if the entire village only has five heavy infantry, this is the most powerful military force in the village and the only full-time unit! The most important thing is that these soldiers were formed with the reward paid by the noble man named Lance last time!

"There's something wrong with this village! The area is too weird!" Roland said quietly to Kaslo as he walked on the road.

"Looking at what they call the city wall, this must have been a small town before! The current city wall should be what was left after the city wall weathered!" Ajax looked around, and there were traces of time everywhere here.

"It would be great if there are people living in this poor place in the North!" Ormsk shook his head at Roland. It was a blessing to have a village here when the orcs were attacking everywhere.

"Huh! Heavy infantry?" Kaslow suddenly saw a group of heavy infantry walking on the ground and was surprised.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Can this poor place support heavy infantry?" Ajax also clicked her tongue in amazement.

"The style of this armor looks a bit like a dwarf's?" Ormsk rubbed his chin.

"I'm even more curious about where their armor comes from!" Roland's eyes narrowed. It was obvious that this poor place did not have the ability to produce it by itself.

"Ah? Haha~ I made everyone laugh. This is the only professional soldier we have here..." Jin Dan quickly laughed.

"Let me ask you something, where did these armors come from?" Roland asked seriously. He would not mistake the standard dwarf-style armor! Although it is not as good as the armor under his command, it is already the best thing for scattered forces!

"This..." Jin Dan broke into a cold sweat. He couldn't help but cursed the traveling merchants in his heart. Is there something wrong with these armors? No wonder I missed a few silver coins from myself!

"But it doesn't matter, this armor is not ours!" Ormsk said as if he could see the village chief's fear.

"Oh~ they were brought by a group of traveling merchants. These traveling merchants have grown up and wandered around every corner of Middle-earth, making money by reselling materials!" Jin Dan took a deep breath and said without hesitation.
