Chapter 213 Earth Chapter 212 Air Power

To be precise, it was not an irreversible all-out war, but a conflict between a prince of Oran and a certain duke, which eventually turned into an open war, which started on the outskirts of the royal capital.

Both sides suffered dozens of casualties before being suppressed by the royal city's police officers. Now both sides are peacefully under house arrest in the manor outside the city.

A very fierce debate broke out around the two people's disposal plan. The court and other institutions should have made a ruling on the same day, but after two or three days of delay, there was no result.

This matter can have many meanings. From the perspective of Tang Zhao, it means that the king's personal binding force has declined, and he has no restrictions on powerful subjects and princes.

There is someone behind the prince, and there is a complete force behind the duke. No one on either side is easy to mess with. It is just a "small friction" now, but it will not be certain when the king really has a problem.

[According to the worst-case scenario, if a full-scale civil war breaks out in Oran, how serious will the civil war be?]

Andrea, the human merchant supported by Tang Zhao, came to report the news. As a merchant, she must be well-informed, and after being taught many lessons by various people, her vision and overall view are still acceptable.

"The main body of the Border Guards only obeys the king's orders and cannot be mobilized. The commander of the Forbidden Forces is Mr. Lucas. He is upright and impartial. Before the matter is settled, unless someone really goes too far, he will not intervene.

, so the scale of the whole incident should not be too big.”

Andrea carefully tried to share her views, but there was nothing wrong with it, except that she would inevitably have a little stage fright after meeting Tang Zhao.

The official troops of various provinces and cities cannot be mobilized in large numbers. Each medium and large noble has his own private army, ranging from a few hundred to nearly ten thousand people. These people are a force that cannot be ignored, and the dispute is estimated to be

Happened to these people.

[Understand, be restrained during this period, don't attract attention, don't do risky places and investments, and save manpower as soon as you encounter problems.]

After a few simple instructions, Andrea left Tang Zhao's office area. The next person to come up was the experienced dwarf "Living Ancestor" Bourne.

【How is the city defense situation?】

"Needless to say, bombarding the city wall with sixth-level magic from the front may be useless. The underground tunnels connecting various strongholds and the necessary traps in the outside forest have been basically prepared. If the number of enemies is less than 5,000, they will not cause any harm to the city itself.

Regardless of the threat, the amount of food stockpiled is acceptable, and the mushroom cultivation plan is very successful and can last for more than half a year in extreme cases, but it is not without problems."

Bourne pointed to several points on the map, where red circles had been drawn.

"Our rangers and falcons have discovered many traces of goblin tribes at the junction of the north and the mountains. They are migrating south. In addition, the elves have sent news that the same situation exists on the northern border of their great forest.

.At the same time, there are traces of the regular army of the hobgoblins. It seems that the flags coming this time are mainly from the Blood Fist, accompanied by several medium-sized clans waving flags to cheer."

[Didn’t they just end the war against us a few months ago, and now they still have the energy to fight again?]

"That's not what I mean. I think this is obviously a suspicious soldier. Let's misjudge the situation. In fact, the main force of the hobgoblins is rushing to other places, maybe Oran, or somewhere in the north or west. By the way, I

A certain dwarf merchant I know is doing business in Clemons in the west of the continent, and he got something very interesting, which is a bill issued by a monster merchant."

Clemons is a commercial city in the west of the continent, famous for its developed alchemy, commerce and openness.

In other words, as long as you are willing to pay for it, there is nothing you can't get here.

On the list are the cubs of horse vultures and griffons, as well as several pairs of adult individuals, especially those that can be bred directly. One side has a very typical human name, while the other side says "Warcry Clan"

This is a very distinctive hobgoblin/orc name.

Obviously this is the name of the hobgoblin, otherwise Bourne would not have mentioned it.

A sign of danger - the hobgoblins may be preparing to challenge the Oran people's position in the sky, through training in air power.

The horse vulture is not a creature with little fighting power like bats. Most human countries choose to tame the horse vulture to fight, which is enough to illustrate its combat power and superiority. It is not particularly unruly and unruly like many creatures, and it also has good combat capabilities.

ability, as one of the best choices for military mounts.

It is true that the Oran people's thousands of high-quality horse vultures cannot be imitated by other races, but Tang Zhao also had every reason to worry about air raids caused by flying creatures such as horse vultures.

Putting aside everything else, if the other party gritted his teeth and gathered hundreds of vultures, and let the vultures hang with the infiltration team and throw them into the city, then Tang Zhao would have no choice but to engage in street fighting with the opponent.

The losses in the battle were very high, and they couldn't afford it, not to mention that the other side kept throwing soldiers in.

Burnt mentioned this to ask him to pay attention to the issue of air defense, which is also the only missing part of the current city defense system.

As for medieval/Renaissance-level anti-aircraft equipment, there is either not much, or absolutely none.

The dwarves have already realized this in the golden age. Some blacksmiths have developed a special type of ballista arrow. After being fired, the arrow will explode into a net, wrapping the enemy, and there is also something similar to a harpoon launcher.

, can immobilize enemies in the air and drag them down.

In fact, these equipments are only a drop in the bucket and can only deal with some low-altitude enemies. What the dwarves really rely on are still those aerial mounts and their rune technology.

For the current Tang Zhao, they don't have even the equipment that is just a drop in the bucket. The time cost of making those precision instruments is very high and requires the cooperation of many dwarf craftsmen. The kobolds and elves who are temporarily hired to make up the work can only help. They are now short of a lot of equipment.

, we can no longer recruit people to do such luxurious work.

[Can the side of Dragon Blood Pass provide necessary help? 】

"I think the sea-based lord will definitely agree, but the really strong dwarf fortresses are built directly inside the mountains or underground, with only a small entrance and exit. In fact, they don't worry much about air targets, so their weapon reserves don't

How many will there be? Be mentally prepared."

In fact, Tang Zhao also knew the shortcomings, and had long ago asked the goblins to secretly collect young vultures and tame them centrally in Karak Solma, but the speed was very slow. It took more than ten years for a vulture to grow from birth to adulthood.

It takes longer than the kobolds, and it is still far away from forming combat effectiveness.

"For this matter, I think our friends in the human world can help. The vulture is a strategic material for ordinary people and is absolutely not allowed to be bought and sold, but it is not necessarily the case for the royal family."
