Ron let Golden Head patrol the territory. As before, no abnormalities were found, which made him a little disappointed.
Others are looking forward to no attacks, but he hopes that knight will come sooner.
Just try [Duel Arena] and at the same time use the other person's life to improve his own strength.
Ron couldn't even imagine how much Qi Force a Gold Rank 7 knight would provide for him.
But if the other party doesn't come, there is nothing he can do even if he wants to fight.
Not being able to resolve this hidden danger and not being able to improve his strength made Ron very distressed.
Ron was strolling alone on the beach. Looking at the scenery of the clear sky after the snow and the bright sunshine, he couldn't help but stretch.
Thinking of being idle every day recently, he felt that both his body and mind had become idle. He hadn't even practiced swordsmanship for several days.
Suddenly he felt that he couldn't be so lax anymore. Otherwise, without enough strength, he couldn't protect himself and his family.
Then in the days to come, it will be like this weather. Looking at a peaceful and beautiful scene, in fact, it is just the calm before the real cold winter begins.
When the real cold night falls, if there is no preparation, it will be the end.
He remembered that Bette once told him that the offshore here will be covered with thick ice during the cold winter.
Ron calculated that if the offshore can freeze, then the temperature here must be at least minus twenty or thirty degrees.
In this kind of weather, if the enemy comes to attack again and destroys the ship, then it will really be over.
"No, it seems that we need to think of some ways. We can't just wait like this."
While thinking of ways, Ron walked around the beach again.
At this time, Christie came over.
"Ron!" Calling his name, Christie walked forward and happily put her arms around Ron's arm: "What are you thinking? I called you several times and you didn't hear me!"
"What's wrong? What happened?" Ron asked.
"Nothing happened! It's breakfast time. I'm here to take my dear husband back!" Christie replied with a smile.
When Ron heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "What did you say?"
Christie was a bit confused by Ron's question and said weakly: "I said it's breakfast time."
"Not this sentence. The next one!"
"Invite my dear husband to have breakfast?" Christie said weakly again.
Ron immediately understood: "That's right. It's invite. If he doesn't come, I can invite him! Haha! Christie, you are really a genius!"
Christie was confused by Ron's incomprehensible words: "What are you talking about?"
Ron smiled: "Christie, we have been here for several days."
"According to common sense, when we just landed, there was nothing. At this time, it should be the most suitable time to launch an attack. But we haven't even seen a single person. Why is this?"
"This is simple!" Christie smiled: "If he is really instigated by others, then it always takes time for message transmission."
"From the time he knows we are here, even if he uses birds to send messages, plus various delays, it will take at least several days. And he hasn't appeared until now. It just proves that the person who instigated him must be in the inland far away from here. Even in the imperial center."
"Correct answer!" Ron gently tapped Christie's nose: "Let's go! Let's eat!"
When Christie saw that Ron only said half of what he wanted to say and then stopped, she immediately refused.
"You suddenly asked me these things but didn't say what you were going to do. If you don't tell me, I can't eat."
"Don't worry! Let's eat first. You will know what I am going to do later."
Saying that, Ron took Christie back to the ship for breakfast.
After the meal, Ron called Thorin and asked him to buy some tools at the fortress fifty miles away today.
And he explained that there was no need to buy too many. Just buy a few saws casually.
By the way, he asked if there were any idle people there who were willing to come to work in the territory. With food and accommodation provided and silver coins given.
After hearing this, Thorin was confused.
"Lord Ron, we still have quite a few saws here. There is no need to buy them! If it's just to ask for help, it's not now! In this cold winter, there is no way to work. Inviting them here is just providing free food and accommodation!"
Ron couldn't explain to him what he was going to do, so he could only say: "Just do as I say. By the way, if there are really people who come to apply, you can choose carefully. Choose the cheapest one."
"However, not too many! Just choose three or five."
"The most important thing is to spread this news so that everyone knows that the territory of the Moore family is recruiting people."
"Ah!" Thorin was confused.
"What are you 'ah'ing about!" Ron was very helpless: "Since it's still early, set off quickly. You don't need to rush back. Take one or two days to choose people and then come back."
"If you like, I know there is a tavern there. You can also have a few drinks. It's on me! By the way, do you have any money on you?"
"No!"
Ron asked Christie to take a few gold coins and give them to Thorin. He reminded him again not to be in a hurry and to prioritize safety above all else.
Although Thorin didn't understand what Ron wanted to do, he would be happy with a business trip at public expense.
So, he picked up his luggage and set off happily.
Although Thorin had never been to the border fortress, there was only one road here. As long as he kept walking along this road, he wouldn't go wrong.
Because it was a business trip at public expense, Thorin was very happy along the way.
But what he didn't expect was that this walk took almost ten hours. He walked from day to night. The cold and hunger made him almost unable to breathe.
And because it gets dark early in winter, the endless darkness made him even more afraid.
After walking in the dark for three or four hours, he finally saw a little fire and a huge black shadow above the fire.
This is Disa Fortress, a giant wall-like building built between two mountains of Mount Gordo.
It is more than 80 meters high, more than 40 meters long. The widest part at the bottom is 14 meters, and the top is also 6 meters wide. It is a behemoth.
And there are sixteen such behemoth fortresses in the human kingdom. Seven are in the Gust Empire and ten are in the Republic of Diado.
It is these solid fortresses that are firmly stuck on the only way for orcs to reach the human kingdom, guarding the safety of human lives.
Disa Fortress is the most marginal one. There are nearly 3,000 permanent soldiers. Coupled with the families of soldiers and some mercenaries, the permanent population here is nearly 9,000.
Also because of the huge population, the barracks under the city wall has gradually developed into a small town.
Compared with small towns in the inland, it can't be said to be more prosperous, but basically nothing is lacking.
Thorin, who was hungry and cold, immediately found a tavern as soon as he arrived at the small town. He ordered several steaks and rum.
After eating the food and drinking the wine, he felt alive again.
At this time, a soldier sitting at the same table saw a strange face and took the initiative to greet Thorin.
"Hi, uncle! Where are you from? I haven't seen you before!"
Thorin is in his fifties. Because he often works, his face is full of wrinkles and looks older than his actual age.
It's okay for others to call him uncle.
But when Thorin saw that it was a person who looked older than him and called him uncle, he was not happy.
"Brother, how old are you? Call me uncle?"
When the man heard this, he smiled and said: "Oh! I'm sorry, brother. My name is Peckert. I am already thirty this year! Because I saw that brother is dressed like an outsider, I made a mistake. I'm really sorry. I don't know which camp brother is transferred from!"
When Thorin heard this, he was greatly shocked: Thirty years old? Looking like this at thirty?
Thinking of this, Thorin looked around. Only then did he find that almost everyone sitting here had weather-beaten faces like him.
Could it be that everyone sitting here is actually young people?
