"But............... Although the war in the north is already in a state of confrontation, I can't guarantee that the orcs won't be upset about our internal troop movements, although only some troops will be replaced, but I can't guarantee that the orc tribes that go south will stay in their tents quietly during this period, enjoying the inferior food sold to them by our internal smugglers at high prices. And besides, at present, to make Nottingham a gate to block the orc troops, even if the number of warriors needed is added to the recent expansion of the number of half-orc foreign legions to 1000 people, at least 500 engineers, 2000 hand-to-hand combatants, 1500 longbowmen, and about 800 cavalry troops are needed. ”

“……………… Those hateful orcs, one day Lao Tzu will make them the ground rats of Nottingham, mining for me every day. Sun Lin had also considered Bobby's question, but in the end, his intuition told him that if he continued to fight the orcs, he would never have a better day, so instead of doing so, it was better to give it a go and bet that the orcs would not attack Nottingham for more food before the cold season in the desert was over.

Although in June last year, Sun Lin and Bobby teamed up to defeat an orc army, but because the food sold by those smugglers was not only in one tribe, Sun Lin found that the original few orc tribes in the desert that were relatively close to the "God Blessed" canyon had begun to move south, and in early September, Sun Lin launched the third Nottingham City Defense Battle. However, due to the fact that the number of chainmail cavalry in Sun Lin's hands had reached 400 at this time (this guy all relied on the windfall profits earned from trade to feed his army, and even for this reason, Sun Lin also increased the original trade price by as much as 3 times, but fortunately, the nobles of the Lanster Empire were stupid and had a lot of money, although there was no gold and silver issued on the New Delhi Peninsula. There are three kinds of copper coins, but fortunately, they have real money, and they also have the purple shirt wood that Sun Lin urgently needs, and this is one of the reasons why Sun Lin suddenly has so many longbowmen and is eager to enter the Lancester Empire), plus 200 commercial horse cavalry militia mobilized from the city of London, and 200 Hobira Rangers as auxiliaries, a total of 800 cavalry under the command of Bobby, using the advantage of cavalry to confront orc troops on the wasteland, Sun Lin commanded more than a dozen medium and heavy trebuchets to cover Bobby.

Perhaps in terms of horse breed and personal combat ability, the commercial horse cavalry and chain armored cavalry in Sun Lin's hands are not as good as the orc wolf cavalry and the wind marauder, but the light cavalry cannot defeat the heavy cavalry in the charge after all, and in terms of equipment, Sun Lin's army can be said to be completely abused by the orc cavalry troops, first of all, the orc cavalry is not equipped with cavalry guns, they are only equipped with some riding spears and battle axes sharpened with stones and giant beast bones, and the orcs who are born to love foot combat are not very good at honing their riding skills. Therefore, even if the Wind Marauders were to be replaced by heavy cavalry, they would at best be the same as the Norse-exclusive tomahawk heavy cavalry, and even in hand-to-hand combat on horses, they would not be able to compare with these Viking warriors with round shields and battle axes; Needless to say, in terms of armor, even the 200 commercial horseback militia were equipped with heavy alchemy, and the horses sitting down were covered with a layer of chain armor skin, no matter how strong the wolves ridden by the orcs, they might not be able to knock these horses away in the process of collision. So when 820 cavalry (including 20 general guards) charged the rushing orc cavalry in a cone formation under the leadership of Bobby, the huge beast cavalry torrent was torn in half in just 3 minutes, and in the ensuing battle, the beast cavalry troops were played around under the superb horsemanship of 200 Hobira rangers, and were finally divided and eliminated by 600 heavy cavalry, and those orc infantry troops had the heart to go to the rescue, However, under the long-range fire of more than 20 medium-sized torsion trebuchets and 10 heavy torsion trebuchets, they were repeatedly pushed back within the tool range of the torsion trebuchet, not to mention the later battles between heavy cavalry and light infantry, and the orc troops broke up after a few charges.

But this great victory did not make Sun Lin happy, because when the cavalry troops canceled the pursuit, the first thing they told Sun Lin when they returned to Nottingham City was: "Your Majesty, from the range pursued by the Hobila Rangers, they found that at least 5 or more small and medium-sized tribes of orcs have been stationed on the edge of the wasteland. "But fortunately, because the orcs also have internal struggles, so the orc tribes that migrated this time are the tribes that sold inferior food by those smuggling merchants last time, which means that the secrets of New Delhi are only known by these tribes on the edge of the wasteland, and the rest of the orc tribes in the deep desert do not know the secrets of the New Delhi Peninsula, and due to the migration of the orc tribes, a large number of half-orcs poured into the Nottingham area, and under the abduction of Sun Lin, they became the most hard-working miners in the Nottingham area. There are also half-orc Foreign Legion members who are best at handling trivial tasks as cannon fodder, but these benefits are overshadowed by the number of more than 100,000 orcs near the edge of the wasteland.

Sun Lin also used some smugglers here, hoping to let them transfer these orcs in various ways, but in the end it was useless, because if these smugglers used inferior food to squeeze all the valuable things on these orcs, it would be absolutely feasible, but to make these merchants become diplomats, this is impossible at all, although the cost of smuggling inferior food from orcs can be equal to the materials consumed by orcs in war, and even more profits, But it's impossible to keep a time bomb lying next to Sun Lin's pillow.

"Alas............ If you were to do the math, Nottingham and London would have a maximum of 500 longbowmen, 450 hoplites, 300 hookers, and 300 commercial horseback militiamen.................. Speaking of which, didn't the Sardinian islands also have an army? Can you mobilize some from there? ”

"It's not impossible, the Sardinian islands are rich in fishing, salt and purple wood, and the population has grown to nearly 2,000 people, and according to the funds of the national treasury, we can still get some longbowmen from there, but this is still not enough."

“…………… Wait a minute! Bobby, what do you think would happen if we had our allies come and help us? ”

"Allies............ Do you mean.........."

"Almost, it seems necessary to expand the Naga Foreign Legion..............."
