Chapter 61 For Gold Coins

What is time to come is still here.

But why can't you come later? Even if it's one year or six months later?

Roger patted his forehead and felt very depressed.

Since the war more than ten years ago, the orcs in the dark swamp have been a thorn hanging in the heart of the Storm Kingdom. Those guys with green skin like goblins once shocked the entire Storm Kingdom with their ferocity and cruelty, which made the nobles in the Kingdom frightened and trembled.

If the king at that time hadn't had the rapid reaction and personally led the elite troops from the kingdom to the front line to defeat the orcs in the early stages of the war, I still don't know what kind of chaos the orcs would have caused.

Everyone knows that the orcs will never give up after suffering the last loss. Don’t look at the dark swamp that has not been in the past ten years, who can say that this is not the orcs who are silently accumulating their strength to prepare for the next larger invasion?

After all, that's what Storm Kingdom did, and the Kingdom has been preparing for the next war.

Although there are rumors in the kingdom that the last orc invasion caused such great trouble and damage to the kingdom, causing turmoil everywhere in the kingdom was that the orcs launched the invasion war was too sudden, and the kingdom was not prepared at all. If there was another time, the kingdom's army would defeat and suppress the orcs as they had done to deal with the werewolf, until they forced the orcs to migrate, and flee the kingdom's territory far away with hatred and fear of humanity.

In fact, all discerning people know that the above statements are just words of the royal family and nobles in order to calm people's hearts. If there is a next orc war, it is hard to say what the outcome will be.

If the Storm Kingdom was really so confident in suppressing the orcs in the dark swamp, why would it be specially set up a major border military province in Taimo?

The royal family had a large number of feudal territory in the province of Taimo, allowing a large number of emerging military aristocrats to emerge, which would inevitably damage the interests of the old nobles in the kingdom. The noble parliament did not stop this or the strength of the stop was not strong. What was the reason?

Isn’t it because whether it is the royal family, the parliament, the king or the local lord, they are all full of vigilance against the orcs, and everyone is cautious about the next invasion war of the orcs?

In addition to the role of the emerging military aristocracy enfeoffed in the province of Tymo, the role of those newly enfeoffed military aristocrats to curb the noble parliament and prevent their excessive power, the role of the real purpose is to prevent the Second Invasion of Orcs and to serve as a war buffer for the Twilight Forest, the real core territory of the Storm Kingdom.

As a child who grew up in a military aristocratic family in the province of Tymo, even though Roger was not favored by Baron Vernon because of his illegitimate relationship, he knew everything he should know and what he should know after years of being influenced by him.

There is no doubt about the power of orcs.

Unlike goblins with the same skin color, orcs are strong and strong in size. Perhaps because of the difficult living environment, they are all powerful, with muscles as hard as rocks. In addition, their bodies are similar to humans. Orcs often have the upper hand when fighting against humans.

Roger remembers that Baron Vernon once said that his greatest honor when fighting orcs was that the orcs were civilized. Like the werewolves, the orcs had either used stone weapons, and even had many thick wooden sticks.

In addition to the simple weapons, the orcs have almost no protective gear. If the animal skins around their waists can also be considered protective gear.

However, such orcs can be killed with the fully armed regular army of the Kingdom, making human soldiers wearing iron swords and armor often pay a higher battle loss ratio than orcs to repel them. The strength of the orcs can be seen.

As the saying goes, one's mistake will lead to wisdom. In the last war, the orcs suffered a loss of poor equipment. Will they fall in the same pit this time?

This is exactly what all the ruling classes of the Storm Kingdom are worried about, because they say that the orcs are barbaric races, and in fact, they have discovered that the intelligence of this race is actually not low in war.

Perhaps the average intelligence level of orcs is lower than that of humans, but the difference between the two sides is not big, and the leader among orcs is smarter than many humans.

People cannot fall twice in a pit. Aren’t orcs also humans?

Roger looked at the orc camp in the photo. The orcs that were traveling there were indeed those who had bare shirtless and had only a piece of animal skin around his waist as Baron Vernon described to him, but more were sergeants wearing iron armor and holding iron weapons like the regular human army.

If the orcs were still in the era of stone tools when the last invasion war was launched, then today, the orcs have entered the Iron Age and they have armed a huge army equipped with iron weapons.

In other words, the greatest advantage of Storm Kingdom in winning the last Orc Invasion War has disappeared.

For this reason, Roger had to worry: Once the orcs launched the second invasion battle, can the Tymo Province stop them, and even will the Storm Kingdom win the war?

Worrying about war is not that Roger has nothing to do when he is full. It is clearly the matter that the king and the parliament should take care of, but that Roger understands a truth - how can he finish the eggs when the nest is destroyed?

If the orcs cannot be stopped in the Taimo Province, how could the Red Ridge Mountain, which is the border with the Taimo Province, not be affected?

If the Storm Kingdom cannot win this war, do you think the orcs will let Roger go and the Red Ridge Collar?

The orcs don't care whether Roger is the same as the Storm Kingdom. They will only see that Roger is a human, and the Red Ridge is a territory established by humans. They must break and destroy the human territory. After looting all the property and killing all living things in the territory, they set a fire to burn the Red Ridge to ashes, just like the orcs did in other human territories.

It is precisely because of understanding this truth that Roger is worried because he cannot stay out of things like this.

Finally, I occupied a place, built a territory, and gradually gathered the hearts of the people. I thought I could develop quietly, and happily counted the increased power of faith every day, lying down and waiting for the upgrade, and sleeping to improve my strength. As a result, before the good days began, the shadow of war brought by the orcs enveloped my head, making Roger so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

Damn orcs, you green-skinned monsters, you have been waiting for more than ten years and a year or two, why can't you wait for another year or two? Let me get the territory on the right track and you can't come out again? I can't wait to jump out so impatiently, is it a time to reincarnate or something?

He whispered a fierce complaint in his heart, and Roger said to Gregory: "Go back and tell Gazluvi that I will collect as much as I have in daily necessities, especially food, money is not a problem."

"I'm afraid this won't work."

He thought Gregory would agree, but who knew that the goblins were rich and did not do business. Roger was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Gregory meaningfully: "If Gazrove doesn't agree, I will increase the price by 20% to do business with you. You won't disappoint me, right? For the sake of gold coins!"

Gregory had a light in his eyes: "Yes, for the gold coins."
