Alien Knights

After dealing with the affairs of the mission, Todd non-stop in the soul space, began to gather the people of the Froststone tribe.

In the underground temple, Todd sat on the throne, Rachel stood on his left, Alfonso stood on his right, and the others stood in the center of the temple in awe, waiting for instructions.

Waving his hand to open a 3D projection in the sky above the temple, Todd pointed to the mountains of weapons and armor in the screen and said: "In three days, there will be a convoy carrying these equipments, starting from Fort Watch, heading north along the plank road of the Falling Star Mountains."

Looking at these well-made and superior equipment, the barbarian veteran Fried swallowed: "When our people face the Ulster army, we always lose more than we win. Speaking of the reasons for our failure, some people say we are cowardly, while others say we are stupid."

Fried looked at Todd, who was standing there, and said excitedly: "But what they don't know is that the clansmen grew up in deep mountains and dense forests. Our enemies are beasts of war and disasters. Death and misfortune are as common as eating and drinking. How can we be afraid of war and clumsy when we are struggling to survive in this environment? Our biggest disadvantage is that we don't have good weapons and armor!"

Casper, who used to belong to the army of the Holy Acropolis, murmured to himself suspiciously: "The convoy from the Fortress?"

When he saw clearly the coat of arms of the armor in the picture, he couldn't help but gasped: "These are all the equipment of the Holy Acropolis!"

Todd put his hand down, and the projection over the temple ended immediately. He said to everyone: "The convoy can only transport these weapons and armor out of Fort Watch, and we have to figure out how to transport them later. The mountain has been covered by heavy snow these days, and the road to the south of the camp is difficult and difficult. Do you have a way to transport these things back?"

The old shaman Minnie smiled and said to Todd: "Patriarch, it is because of this heavy snow that the originally difficult road can be unimpeded."

Todd asked strangely: "It's snowing heavily, but it's good for transportation. Why?"

Minnie explained: "After the heavy snowfall, the swamps that were originally difficult to pass through will freeze into permafrost, and the potholed mountains will be covered with snow to form soft paths. In addition, those big families in the barbarian camps will more or less raise a few dogs. As long as they make temporary sleds, they can travel on the ground."

It dawned on Todd that there are three fools with sledges in this different world.

After confirming that there was no problem with the equipment transportation, Todd began to inquire about the current situation of the camp.

The fast-talking Ackerman first reported on the development of the camp: "Counting the gladiators and barbarians, the number of people in the camp has exceeded 700. Thanks to the food and supplies brought in from the south, now every household has tents to live in, food to eat, and herbs for sick people. The construction in the camp, due to the cold weather and frozen land, only started construction on two buildings. One is the tribal longhouse for organizing meetings, and the other is your residence."

Todd was a little surprised: "Abode? Do you mean that small building?"

"That's right, Lord Rachel gave us the blueprints. We are currently laying the foundation and sorting out the wood. I heard that the cement and furniture will arrive in a few days. I believe it will be completed before the end of this year."

Todd glanced at the woman beside him, and Rachel pretended not to see his movements, with a calm expression on his face.

Casper was the second to report to work, and his speech followed his usual reticent character: "The gladiators are training and preparing for battle, but you are not in the camp, which makes them a little uneasy."

Ackerman added at this time: "Boss, I know that the gods are very busy, but it's best to come back when you are free. Although there is no shortage of food and supplies in the camp, the most discussed topic every day is when you will return."

Todd nodded, indicating that he understood, and turned his gaze to Fried and Minnie.

Fried bowed, and said loudly happily: "I have already told someone about Patriarch Boyle's deeds. Every day, people from faraway places come to Froststone Camp to join us. If it wasn't for the heavy snow, there would be even more people."

Minnie is obviously not that optimistic: "Patriarch, there is one thing you must know. The land we are on cannot grow crops, and hunting is not convenient. As the population gradually increases, food and supplies will become increasingly scarce. How to ensure people's living needs is an extremely important prerequisite."

Listening to the words of the two, Todd fell into deep thought. Food in the barbarian camp was indeed a big problem.

Although there are only 700 people at the moment, but next spring, when the snow melts and the earth returns to spring, more people will come to seek refuge in Boyle's name.

However, the food supply of the entire camp is only transported by cargo ships, which will certainly not be able to meet future needs. We must find a way to open up new sources of food.

Todd looked at Alfonso again, wanting to hear his report.

Unexpectedly, what the latter said shocked everyone present: "Ulster's army may launch a surprise attack on the camp."

Ackerman screamed: "Raid?!"

Todd stared into Alfonso's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me your reasons."

"Five days ago, 20 kilometers away from the camp to the north, scouts from the Kingdom of Ulster were spotted for the first time. Three days ago, a large number of scouts came to a distance of 5 kilometers. The successor guards fought with them and wiped out a total of 72 enemy troops. There were no casualties on our side. But just yesterday, two more groups of scouts appeared near the camp, so I guess Ulster is planning to attack the camp."

Ackerman shook his head and said: "I really don't understand that Conchierber, Ulster and Connaught are already in a state of war, and he still has the mind to attack us?!"

Todd somewhat understood the self-willed King of Ulster. There was no other reason. The series of events in the arena had completely hurt Conchierb's self-esteem. The other party's retaliation at all costs was naturally a matter of course.

Todd said to Alfonso: "Do you know the time when the opponent launched the attack?"

Alfonso shook his head and said, "It's impossible to predict."

The transportation of equipment, the uneasiness in the camp, the source of food, and the shadow of the raid, these four things are like four mountains, weighing on Todd's heart.

Seeing Todd's face, Rachel lowered her head and whispered in his ear and said with a smile: "Why don't you come to the north recently?"

Todd turned his head and looked at Rachel: "Could it be that something happened to you?"

Rachel shook her head, and what she said made Todd's teeth itch: "I'm fine, it's just your beautiful little lover who keeps saying the name 'Boyle' in her dreams."

"I'm not Boyle!"

"At night, blow out the candles, if you don't tell me, I don't tell you, who knows..."

Rachel blinked mischievously at Todd.
