Preparation for the fifth quarter

"Are you going to go to war with those greens?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"That's our business," replied the Great Elder. "We have fought with Greenskin countless times."

"But this time...there are too many..." Mimilu suddenly screamed. She looked back at Ash Rufate, and her tail shook faster.

"But it's not about outsiders' business." The Great Elder replied. "We can deal with Green Skin with our own strength."

"I am not an outsider... It should be said that according to the law of St. Gene, I am the lord of this land and the lord of this place. This area belongs to me. I am Count Ashurufat and the lord of the Danden Mountains. I have obtained this fief from Princess Irina." Ashurufat replied.

"But this is our land." A half beast suddenly shouted. "Not human."

"That's your thoughts. Great Elder, if you lose, this place will immediately become a green land."

"You are a knight." The Great Elder replied. "I can see that human knights are very strong, but you only have one."

"Ashu Rufate...is not...an ordinary people..." Mimilu tried hard to explain.

"Great Elder, you said you had fought with Greenskin. When did that happen? Are you ready for war?" Ashurufat asked. "I can't see any fortifications of war, nor any army. How many soldiers do you have? There are at least a thousand Greenskins, not even the Sgugge they were tamed. They also brought some wolves."

"The last green-skinned invasion was already before I was born." A half-beast in the crowd said. Although he did not look as old as the Great Elder, he definitely did not look like a young man anymore.

An uneasy atmosphere spread among the crowd, and everyone whispered to each other, saying something in their own language.

Then, one participant stood up and spoke, many people responded, while others remained silent.

"What are they talking about? Carrie." This time, Ashu Rufate asked Carrie on his own initiative.

"I'll provide instant translation." His brain suddenly felt a cold tremor, as if a foreign object suddenly penetrated into his brain. This feeling was very uncomfortable, but in an instant, he could understand what the beasts said.

"This is a rare opportunity. The Mother of Earth must have sent him to help us. He is a human knight, and he must be very good at fighting against the greenskins. And we have not had a war for too long. No one remembers how to fight."

"He is a human being, and he will not care about our lives. He will command randomly and let us fight to the green skin to death. Then turn this place into a human territory."

"This place cannot be a territory for humans. Humans cannot cross the Black Hills."

"But didn't this human come here?"

It was really an expected debate. Ashu Rufate thought in his heart. He gave instructions in his heart, and the sense of foreign objects in his mind disappeared, and the language of the beast immediately turned into a strange pronunciation that he couldn't understand.

Suddenly he remembered an accident. These half beasts and cat men actually wanted him to command the war?

This is a completely unexpected challenge.

"Master, have you learned the way to use troops from Thomas?" Carrie asked.

"I know, but Thomas has many things that I can't understand. There are too many things. For example, what to fear war, what to do before a surprise attack, what to do with a frontal battle, etc. I don't have the confidence to command the army now."

"Ashrufate... is definitely... a good person! He will... help us!" Mimilu suddenly jumped up and said loudly in human language. "He could have... left. But he didn't... leave!"

After saying that, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Ash Rufat. Mimilu had obviously washed somewhere just now, and the mud marks and stains on her body had been washed away. Now she looked very much like a teenage little human girl, cute and innocent, with her little tiger teeth exposed - if it weren't for the cat's ears and tail.

"Count Ashurufat, you are the noble of St. Gene?" Finally, the Great Elder finally spoke. "I remember the last time I heard the news outside, St. Gene's general was Thomas. Do you know?"

"He retired for more than ten years, just returned to serve as the general again." Ashu Rufate couldn't help but admire Thomas. Even these half beasts had heard of him. "I am his deputy general, and I can also be considered his disciple."

"He is my friend. In my youth, I traveled in the world of humanity. I encountered a lot of hostility and bad treatment, received a lot of help, and met many friends. Thomas was one of them. I served as his scout, the scout, fighting with the greenskin." After hearing the introduction of Ashu Rufate, the Great Elder seemed to have made up his mind immediately. "Human warfare is better than us, and very smart, with many strategies and plans that we do not have. You are a knight, can you help us? Can we command our warriors to fight?"

"Carrie, if I fight alone, how many green goblins can I deal with?" Ashu Rufate asked in his mind.

"The result of the calculation of bioenergy data comparison and derivation... the risk level reaches 99.9% of the maximum limit. Because there is no specific combat, more detailed calculations cannot be performed. But I firmly recommend that you must not fight with so many green skins independently. The number of green skins is too large, and any low-level risk will become unacceptable due to the increase in quantity."

This is indeed a normal answer. Even a warrior who fights one hundred like the Holy Grail Knight, if you are not lucky, you will be defeated by a shell. Although in actual combat, the chance of a cavalry being hit by a shell is really not high.

"Great Elder, do you know where those goblins come from?" Ashu Rufat asked the Great Elder.

"In the north of our land, over the Black Hills, there is a continuous mountain range. There are abundant minerals, the land of the dwarves, and the battlefield where they compete fiercely with the Green Skin. Whenever the Green Skin is defeated by the Dwarves, the collapsed troops may cross the Black Hills and arrive here."

"How many soldiers are there in the Semu clan."

"We are different from humans. We don't have special soldiers. If you have to say soldiers, there are a total of 200 soldiers in our tribe who can fight."

"Are there any other tribes?"

"There are two more, but they are smaller than ours."

"So what about your weapons? What kind of weapons do you use? Do you have armor?"

"Get our weapons."

A half beast brought something and placed it in front of Ashu Rufate. Ashu Rufate recognized one of them as a gambler. Although there are such weapons in the human world, no one seems to be able to use gamblers on the battlefield. You should know that the range of gamblers is too short and the lethality is not enough.

In addition to the quiver, there is also a short bow that matches the body of a half beast. The bowstring should be made of some kind of bark. Whether it is a quiver or a bow, the arrow is not metal, but a black wood. Ashu Rufate tried it casually and found that this wood seemed very hard, but it should not penetrate the metal armor.

There is also a claw cover that looks like a melee weapon. It is obviously tailor-made for the half-beast clan. The front part of the claw cover is a sharp blade of about the length of a dagger, and it is also made of black wood.

"Do you don't have armor?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"Armor will hinder our movements and slow us down, so we don't use armor. But we also have shields."

"I remember you said that you have fought with the Greenskins many times and have won. Then you should have a lot of metal spoils, and the Greenskins should have a lot of metal weapons." Ash Rufate felt a little confused.

"The Mother of the Earth does not allow us to use metal. This is a blasphemy against it. So when we get metal, we will buried it in the wet soil and let them slowly rust away naturally."

Mother of the Earth? Perhaps the god they believe in. Looking at these simple weapons, Ashrufate did not think that half-beasts using these primitive equipment could defeat Green Skin. Have they really fought with Green Skin countless times and won? Or were the number of Green Skins in the past too small?

"The Mother of the Earth will help us." The Great Elder explained. He noticed Ashrufate's doubts.

"The Mother of the Earth is the embodiment of this forest. It will protect us Semu. It creates the black hills and separates us from the enemy. It protects this land and brings us food and water. When an enemy invades, we will awaken it and it will destroy our enemies."

"Then why are you hesitating? Hurry up and awaken the Mother of Earth. This way there is no need to fight." It sounds like the Mother of Earth seems to be a specific existence.

"The Mother of the Earth needs time to wake up, six days or even longer to wake up. But if the Green Skin destroys its altar before it wakes up, the Mother of the Earth may not be able to wake up. So before it wakes up and helps us, we must block the Green Skin from the outside with our own strength." The Great Elder replied.

"We... don't have time... the greenskin has arrived at the valley... If... we don't fight immediately... they... will soon arrive at the oak..." Mimilu said loudly.

"Okay, let's get ready for the battle immediately. Mimilu, let's put the big mistake you made aside. Ashurufat, are you willing to accept our commission?" said the Great Elder.

"Okay, I accept it. No matter what, the first step is to summon soldiers immediately and inform other tribes immediately to concentrate all their powers."

Ashrufate picked up the claw cover for half beasts and folded it slightly hard. This black wood is much better than expected, and it is actually quite sturdy.

The Great Elder said a few words, and the beasts immediately left the venue and ran outward.

"If you can, the assembly must be completed before dark. Night is a great time for us to deal with Green Skin." Ashu Rufate looked at the gambler and short bow beside him. These weapons may not be able to fight head-on, but it should be appropriate to use it for harassment at night. If a successful night attack can be launched, more than half of Green Skin can be eliminated.

"No, night attacks are useless." said the Great Elder. "Green Skins carry Sguge, and their sense of smell is very sensitive. Once we get close, the Green Skin will immediately release Sguge to attack us. In the past, our warriors launched overnight attacks more than once, but they were all seen through by Sguge, and many warriors were killed by Sguge."

"Has this been the case?" Ashu Rufate thought absent-mindedly. The words of the Great Elder suddenly made him think of a good idea.
