After three months, the Maine Alliance has gained a lot. Everyone's smile has not faded away, but among the smiles, everyone can't help but have a hint of worry in their expressions.
As the lords of the Northland Province, whether it is Baron Pape, Baron Valmy, Baron Graton, or the other two newly promoted barons, they have clearly felt that the atmosphere in the entire Northland Province is completely wrong.
In the past, the attacks of orcs usually lasted only one or two months, or at most three months.
But now the attack of the orcs has lasted for four full months, and there is no sign of subsidence, and the situation is even getting worse.
Under the current situation, if it continues, a full-scale war is not impossible.
Once a full-scale war breaks out, the results can be imagined.
Under the night, the stars are dotted.
The familiar system prompt sounded.
Daily intelligence has been updated.
[1; A hundred miles to the west of you, there will be a group of crazy spider beasts. The poison they possess is enough to poison a group of pig beasts. Even second-level magic beasts will be affected]
[2: In the western part of the Autumn Leaf Territory, Lord Raymond accidentally discovered a small copper mine within the territory, and successfully defeated the Green Goblin and occupied the small copper mine...]
[3; Three days later, a group of second-level kobolds will invade an open territory in the north of where you are]
[4: In the north of Eagle Ridge, the extreme cold coming from the Northland Glacier is about to spread, and the temperature will drop sharply. ]
[5;...]
[8; Three hundred miles away from your location, a group of tiger-headed people are attacking a territory to open up. In five hours, that territory will be unable to resist and will be broken through by the tiger-headed people]
[9: Five hundred miles to the west. ]
Lines of text appeared. Looking at this information, Thor couldn't help but feel solemn.
Compared to a few months ago, the number of orcs is obviously larger and their strength is stronger. At the beginning, most of them were only first-level orc tribes, and second-level ones are not uncommon. However, the daily intelligence in recent days , there are almost no first-level orc tribes, and most of them are second-level orc tribes.
And the pace of destruction in the Northern Territory is still accelerating.
"It's time to leave!"
After muttering to himself, Thor immediately made up his mind.
After three months of clearing up, the harvest has been great enough.
If you continue, you can still gain more.
But the risks have also begun to increase.
Although there is daily information.
But just in case.
The next day.
The sun shines.
Thor then summoned the five lords of the Maine League.
In the tent.
Five people gathered.
Yesterday, a second-level kobold tribe was wiped out again, which undoubtedly allowed them to gain a lot again.
But compared to usual, everyone's smiles were much less.
The turbulent current situation made them feel a little uneasy.
So much so that the harvest is not as exciting as before.
"Everyone, it's time for us to finish!"
Thor looked at the crowd and spoke in a deep voice.
"Indeed, it's time for us to leave. More than fifty pioneer territories have been destroyed in the north. Last month, three baronies were even destroyed. I'm afraid war is not far away."
Baron Pape took a deep breath, then nodded and spoke.
Several people looked at each other and then nodded in unison.
No one objected.
Even though the harvest during the crackdown continues to increase.
But in such a turbulent situation, several people knew that it was best not to continue this purge.
"Then it's decided!"
"In three days, we are ready to return!"
Thor watched a few people nod their heads, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. The money was so impressive, and he was really afraid that these people wouldn't be able to hold back.
Fortunately, the five of them are not that kind of people.
This is undoubtedly the best result.
Soon, the Maine League began to put itself together at a rapid pace.
Three days later, the group returned toward the Maine River Valley.
This was when the Confederacy of Maine withdrew from the northern areas.
The whole north was undoubtedly in chaos again.
A large number of orcs continued to attack.
Even the defense lines in the northern region began to falter.
Reinforcements did arrive from the kingdom.
But on the orc tribe, as time goes by, there are more and more people.
Although there are no fifth-level orc tribes yet, there are already many fourth-level orc tribes.
The Earth Dragon Knights alone encountered more than five fourth-level orc tribes, and the Eagle Knights' defense line also encountered two fourth-level orc tribes.
Even though the fourth-level orcs were generally weaker than the sky knights, they could not withstand the overwhelming number.
Human sky knights often need to face two or even three fourth-level orcs.
Not to mention the number below level four.
There are already more orcs than humans.
Even if their strength is somewhat inferior to those of the same level, their numbers are enough to make up for any gap.
If the northern border was not located, the Tulip Kingdom had established a long pass defense line, which would have been breached by now.
"Duke Karenina, how long will it take for the second batch of support from the kingdom!"
"If this continues, we won't be able to stop it!"
Marquis Lehman's face was pale, his breath was rising and falling, and there was a huge scar on his chest that was almost horizontal.
It was brought by a fourth-level orc.
As a peak earth knight, even if he was facing a fourth-level ordinary orc instead of a sky knight, he still couldn't handle it.
The only thing we are looking forward to now is the second batch of support from the Kingdom.
Generally facing the orc attack.
The kingdom will take on four stages.
The first stage is to be blocked by the stationed Dragon Knights and the Flying Eagle Knights. The second stage is for the kingdom to dispatch direct forces and the power of at least one duke. The third stage is for the kingdom to dispatch the three major dukes. As well as most of the kingdom's court forces, the fourth stage is the mobilization of the entire kingdom.
At this moment, the first batch of support in the second phase has arrived, but the situation is still not stable, and the second batch of support has been applied for.
"One month!"
"It will take another month!"
"Marquis Lehman, you know that the Kingdom War is about to break out. Most of the Kingdom's forces have been mobilized to prepare for the Kingdom War. It will take some time."
Duke Karenina also frowned.
His breath also vibrated.
At this moment, he was almost facing three fourth-order orcs by himself, and the pressure on him was extremely huge.
Even if he didn't have a sacred object, he might not be able to hold on at this moment.
The luster of the holy objects seems to have lost a bit.
"One month, Your Majesty Duke, us!"
Marquis Lehman had a hint of bitterness on his face and did not continue.
And Duke Karenina did not speak.
Based on the current situation, if the orc tribe continues to increase.
Let alone a month, even half a month they can't stop it.
Silence, deathly silence.
No one spoke.
The next moment, when the orcs in front of them rose into the sky again, the knights of the Tulip Kingdom had to rush forward one after another on the pass.
The battle broke out again.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"Boom!"
Magic crystal cannons bloomed with terrifying energy.
A large area of orcs in the distance was covered by the sea of thunder, and many orcs were directly annihilated.
The bright red blood soaked the entire ground and gradually turned into a stream. The stream spread and quietly flowed into the ground.
It's just that no one noticed this at this moment.
The human race is resisting with difficulty.
The orcs were attacking like crazy.
Constantly impacting the human defense line.
Time passes slowly.
Ten days passed quickly.
The situation does not seem to be as bad as imagined, and the orc tribe did not add new tribes.
This made everyone in the Earth Dragon Knights and the Flying Eagle Knights breathe a sigh of relief. Although the losses were still increasing every day, they were at least blocked.
In just over half a month, the second batch of support from the Kingdom will arrive.
Without the fifth-level orcs joining in, the turmoil and impact this time would be enough to calm down.
Of course, these have nothing to do with the people of the Maine League.
This high-end existence is not something they can participate in.
Ten days passed.
The group returned to the Maine River Valley.
Compared to when we left, the entire Maine Valley has undoubtedly changed minimally.
Due to its proximity to the Northland Glacier, it has only suffered two attacks from the orc tribes in the past four months, both of which were only first-level attacks and did not cause any impact on the Maine River Valley.
Under this situation, the entire Maine Valley is still prosperous.
Even due to the large-scale construction of the six lords, the entire Maine Valley was in full swing.
Compared to the northern region, it almost looks like two completely different worlds.
Looking at this peaceful environment, the five lords couldn't help but smile.
Then the six groups separated.
They returned to their own territories respectively.
Thor also returned to the Eagle Territory with his own troops.
Compared to when he left, the Eagles have undoubtedly changed again.
Almost all the farmland around the entire Eagle Territory was reclaimed. Within four months, golden rice ears filled the entire field. It can be expected that this will be another bumper harvest.
In addition, around the entire Eagle Territory, a high-rise wall was built following Thor's arrangement. The wall made of bluestones was as high as three or four meters, giving the Eagle Territory the appearance of a small town. appearance.
Fortunately, a large number of goblins joined us.
Otherwise, we don't know how long it will take to complete this construction and how much manpower is required.
As for the purpose of doing this, of course it is to prevent subsequent turmoil and even a possible orc war.
There won't be any big problems in the Northland Province. Not only the Tulip Kingdom will not allow it, but other kingdoms will not allow it. However, if the turmoil deepens, it is likely to break out, and he has to take precautions.
Although the castle is a kind of defensive building, it is better to add a city wall.
In fact, this is not only true for the Eagle Territory, but also for the newly built town in the north.
He even directed his men to dig the moat.
With these three layers of protection, he felt more at ease.
In the castle.
"Sir, at present, 80% of the construction planned by your Excellency has been completed. In the end, only the moat of the small town in the north and the moat of the Eagle Territory are left. It will take about a month."
"In addition, some of the supplies you brought back cannot be sold. Lajos suggested that you take them to Loren City to try."
Pelos respectfully reported to Thor the information related to the entire Eagle Territory in the past few months.
Thor listened carefully.
In the four months since he left, Peros has undoubtedly managed the entire Eagle Territory in order.
Their abilities are no less than those of the affairs officers.
Thor couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction.
"good!"
"This time, you did a good job!"
"Anna, go get the items from the second cabinet in the third row of my locker!"
Thor spoke.
"yes!"
Ana nodded and left quickly.
A wooden box was quickly brought in.
When the wooden box is opened.
Peros couldn't help but breathe a little heavier.
It was a sacred tree fruit.
"I give this to you as your reward this time. Practice well. Strength is the most important thing."
Thor spoke.
"Yes, sir!"
Perlos spoke quickly with excitement.
"Get down!"
Thor waved his hand.
Perros then bowed and retreated.
"Anna, if you practice hard these days, you won't be very stable next time."
Pelos retreated, and Thor spoke softly to Anna.
"Okay, Master!"
Ana smiled and nodded obediently.
After Thor warned him, he began to fall into deep thought.
It can be expected that the Northland Province will continue to be turbulent, and he must also consider the subsequent matters related to the entire territory.
Just how to deal with it is not that easy.
His strength is too weak.
There is not even an earth knight, so it is obviously impossible to have any role in this kind of turmoil.
"Sir Neil, you should be back soon!"
"Hopefully soon!"
Thor sighed, and now he could only look forward to some Neal Morton.
That person is the Sky Knight. If that person is there, the entire territory will have a high chance of surviving the upcoming turmoil.
Otherwise, relying solely on his current strength, once there is a large-scale turmoil in the Northland Province, he will have no choice but to abandon his territory.
There is no way the strength gap is too big.
