After receiving Sardis' letter from the courier, Kane was also a little curious about what happened, which made the earl send the letter to the Hill Fort.
Moreover, from the chat between the messenger and the soldier just now, Kane also learned the fact that the other party's territory was indeed attacked by orcs.
It seems that, as Kane guessed, the orcs first attacked two territories, dragged down the two nobles, and then came to Kane.
Holding the letter, Kane walked towards the city tower, not forgetting to tell Charles on the way to speed up the repair of the city gate, no one knows when the orc army will attack again.
Opening the door of the bedroom, Kane first glanced at the Moonfall Wolf beside him. Two giant silver-white wolves were lying in the wolf den and sound asleep.
Taking out the letter opener, Kane cut open the envelope, took out the letter and read it.
[Good day, Kane Gerrard, Lord Riggett.]
[I am hereby writing to tell you two things.]
[First, I learned from the orc officer I captured yesterday that the mountain fortress you guarded is extremely critical in this orc attack and needs to be defended more. They will use this as a base to open up the southern front.]
[I should have led the army yesterday to support the Shanjiao Fort, but the opponent was too strong and blocked our army for a day and a night. I am very pleased that you can safely guard the Shanjiao Fort.]
[After this battle, our army's strength has been greatly reduced, please forgive me, I can't send troops to guard the mountain fort with you.]
[Secondly, I just learned today that His Majesty has won another great victory in the battle on the front line, and has captured the orc border city Medras. Your Majesty hopes that we will guard the southern border and take down the Orc Empire. I'm afraid it will be just around the corner. up.]
[Pickering Jarrell, Earl of Sardis, your comrade in arms.]
Kane closed the letter and stored it together with the previous Viscount Muchat's letter.
Sure enough, as he had speculated in the morning, the orcs wanted to attack their own side with the weakest defense line first, and use it as a front-line fortress.
Then, I'm afraid it won't be long before they will attack again, and I have to speed up the repair of the city gate.
Kane noticed that Earl Sardis also explained in the letter the situation on the front line in the north.
What puzzled him was that, in his impression, the current king of the Kingdom of Dylan, Andena Weiss, was a mediocre person, no matter in terms of extraordinary talent or in battle command, he None stand out.
Moreover, the previous battles against the Orc Empire all ended with reconciliation between the two parties, and Andena didn't take any advantage.
It should be said that if it weren't for the fact that there are more high-level transcendents among human beings than orcs, perhaps it will be the human side that loses.
Why did it happen that this time, news of multiple victories appeared one after another. '
Kane also knew that this was a good thing. The sooner Andena could get rid of the opponent, it would be a good thing for the kingdom and their lords.
Not only will the territory of the kingdom be expanded, but the lords such as himself will also be rewarded and rewarded, and Kane himself will be able to leave this hilltop castle and go back to live the life of a baron with peace of mind.
Kane sensed something was wrong, and he understood that Andena himself would never be able to defeat the orcs twice in a row so quickly.
There must be a strange force secretly helping him, helping him formulate plans, help him simulate the attack route, and even help him direct the army's actions.
And this situation, the ministers around King Andena, and even the nobles should be aware of it.
Unwilling to think about it, Kane decided to give priority to protecting the hill fort before considering the follow-up matters.
He took the extended map back and put it together with the letter.
Turning around and looking at the sleeping Moonfall Wolf at both ends again, he left the bedroom and was going to visit Sitz's ward.
In the ward, Catherine was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at Sitz who was in a coma.
Suddenly, there was a sound from the door, which made her look quickly. Seeing that it was Kane coming in, she focused her attention on Sitz again.
Kane walked in softly, and did not see Marcus. Also, the other party may have taken the cavalry to fetch water or do something.
He walked to Sitz's hospital bed, looked at the immature face of the other person, and it was hard to associate it with the crazy werewolf last night.
Kane asked, "Aren't you awake yet?"
Catherine replied: "Yes, my lord, it has been like this since I fell asleep last night."
"Have you been fed liquid food?"
Catherine nodded, and took out the bowl on the side for Kane to watch. It was full of liquid food, and it was obvious that Sitz didn't eat it.
Catherine said with some concern: "He hasn't eaten for two days, my lord, when do you think he will wake up?"
Kane thought about it: "Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, I don't know, but according to my speculation, the time to wake up should be related to one's own constitution, the better the constitution, the earlier the time to wake up."
"Keep an eye on it, maybe it won't necessarily wake up after a while." Kane comforted.
Catherine nodded silently.
Seeing that Sitz hadn't woken up, Kane planned to leave and go to the atrium below to tell Richard.
When leaving, Kane did not forget to ask: "The war is not over yet, you still need to pay attention to the drills of the soldiers."
"I see, my lord," Catherine replied.
Gently closing the door of the room again, Kane went downstairs, and all the servants he met on the way stopped to salute him.
He came to the atrium and easily found Richard who was still directing the construction of the stone gate.
Seeing Kane coming, Richard was a little puzzled, because at this moment, Kane should be simulating the battle situation in the bedroom, or practicing knight training, and there is absolutely no possibility of him coming down.
Could it be because of that earlier letter, Richard thought.
First, he asked, "My lord, what happened again?"
Kane said solemnly: "The war is not over yet, and the orcs may attack again. You must repair it in the next few days."
Realizing the situation, Richard of the troops also became serious, and he even issued a military order in front of Kane.
"My lord, I guarantee that this gate will be fully repaired before this afternoon."
Kane was very satisfied with the attitude of the other party, and said with a smile: "Very good, if you can do it, I will ask Catherine to teach you the practice method."
Richard didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly. You must know that those in the army are very eager to obtain extraordinary training methods. However, Catherine's requirements are more demanding, and he has not yet satisfied them.
She set three requirements, and if one of them is met, she can learn the extraordinary cultivation method from her.
First, after more than five years, many veterans have satisfied this requirement. Unfortunately, their talents are too low, and the highest rank among them is only about to reach the apprenticeship. I am afraid that the high rank of apprentices will be his end
Second, there is a position in the military, which Charles is considered to be semi-compliant. He is still in the internship stage and has not really been promoted to a full-time job. This is why he has been so active recently, because he seems to have been promoted by Catherine to Official Adjutant.
Thirdly, there are those who have made great achievements in the war, which is currently not met by anyone.
Richard said excitedly: "Yes, my lord, I promise to do it."
Kane smiled and said nothing, and looked at the forest outside the city. The seemingly calm surface was actually full of dangers.
