Sending another Swift Eagle out, Owen directed everyone to gallop in the direction of the smoke.
Lorne's team is different from Owen and others, who have one person and multiple horses.
He only has one horse.
If the horse power is not taken into account, it will only be a burden on the battlefield.
Therefore, Owen asked Lorne to follow with his team.
He, Baker and others moved forward at full speed and disappeared from Lorne's sight in a short while.
Owen and the others ran away, and Grant finally started to speak boldly without any scruples.
And it shakes the morale of the army as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Sir, that direction is Sir Stany's fortress.
What if we run over like this and plunge into the orcs?
Why don't we slow down and turn around and run away immediately if something unexpected happens."
If only Lorne's own team was present, he would certainly agree with Grant's opinion.
But there are still Owen and others in front of them.
If something happens, they should be the first to retreat.
In a different world, knights are more of a symbol of status and strength.
They do not have many dogmas and so-called chivalry constraints.
Even if Owen is stupid, he will not lead a dozen people to attack thousands of orc troops.
Even if he is a human cannon, he cannot challenge an entire army with his personal force.
Despite rejecting Grant's proposal to be passive and sabotage, Lorne was very interested in the information about Stany in his words.
As far as he knew, the Stany family was considered a famous family in the North.
Fast has a little information about their family in his memory.
Logically speaking, a powerful family like Stannie should not be miserable enough to send out a distress signal.
With a high status, the power of the guard will naturally not be as weak as the dead ghost Fast.
It was impossible for the large army of orcs to surround them silently.
After expressing the doubts in his heart, Grant was surprised to find that he was also very surprised.
He threw the question back to Lorne.
"Sir, you are right.
I have been to the Stanney family's fortress before.
At that time, although I didn't pay close attention to it, I saw more than a hundred soldiers alone, as well as the person who dealt with me.
Wearing full body armor, he must be a knight.
It's strange that they shouldn't be so stupid to be surrounded by orcs.
Could it be that something unexpected happened inside?"
Grant only knows how to do business, and he feels that there is no need for war on the grassland.
Lorne is the expert, otherwise why would he brazenly say that he was going to attack the orc settlement?
But in fact, Lorn is not as good as Grant.
Grant still has a skill.
Apart from being a meatball, Lorne is the character who opens his mouth.
Enjoyment is his greatest pursuit.
Everything he does is centered around having fun in the future.
There was no answer in Grant, and Lorne himself couldn't guess the reason.
He could only cover his head and continue to control the horse to trot forward.
Of course, just in case, Lorne also made Robert and others ready for battle.
All the hand crossbows were loaded, just in case Grant's crow's mouth told him something unexpected happened.
He might as well break up the enemy's formation with a flurry of arrows, and then be able to escape smoothly.
Lorne's preparation was just in case, he had no intention of actually using it.

But things are sometimes unpredictable, and many accidents have their causes.
This orc tribe was the loser in the competition for grassland pasture.
In order to recover some losses, they set their sights on humans.
Predating human populations for food storage has always been a habit of the border orcs, and they have been successful many times.
The sentry could not always find the orc tribe sneaking through the grassland.
Originally, the orc tribe named Warren thought it would succeed.
But something happened midway that made them realize that their actions might have been exposed.
The wolf cavalry sent out to pursue the human convoy had not returned, making the tribal leader suspicious.
Later, Lorne's bright beacon confirmed Chief Warren's suspicion.
He knew that the human army would arrive soon.
It has become very difficult to cross the border secretly.
Leader Warren, who has fought against humans, knows very well that even if they succeed as a tribe, even if they succeed, they will be annihilated by the pursuit and interception of humans.
So, it changed its plans.
It's too dangerous to go south, so just picking a few human sentries at random wouldn't be a waste of time.
Those sentries who lit beacon fires proved that they had discovered their whereabouts, and it would naturally be more difficult to catch them.
Therefore, Chief Warren placed his target on the quiet east side.
Stannie's fort was just to the east, and because of its location, there was no need to send out beacon signals in sequence.
Seeing the bright lights in the west, Stany and others took it for granted that the direction of the orcs' attack was from east to west.
I secretly rejoiced that I was lucky, but I didn't expect to be happy for two days.
The orcs were silently surrounded outside their fortress.
These guys took advantage of the night and completed the initial siege before dawn.
Normal orcs would generally ignore a tough nut like a fortress, but guys who were eager to make a profit and leave were specifically eyeing it.
Stannie was also unlucky.
If Lorn hadn't set the fire, he wouldn't have been surrounded and unable to get out.
Fortunately, the strength of the fortress is much higher than Grant estimated, and the defensive power of the fortress with the arrow tower stone wall is far superior to Lorne's sentry.
This kind of residence is exclusively for the upper-class nobles.
Its comfort level and protective power are not comparable to Lorne's kennel.
Four knights, plus more than 300 soldiers.
The role of this fortress is no longer just a warning.
Unfortunately, in front of more than 3,000 orcs on the opposite side, all they could do was to wait for help.
But how long can a fortress with hundreds of people last in front of more than 3,000 orcs?
I regret not digging a tunnel in a hidden location of the fortress like my own home.
How could Stanny have thought that he would be so unlucky that the green-skinned monster would set its sights on him instead of plundering those ignorant farmers?
Don’t they know that attacking their own fortress will cost them a certain amount of casualties?
Of course the leader of the Warren tribe understood this, but they were already short of food.
There were some casualties during the attack on the fortress, plus captured humans.
They are barely enough to survive the most difficult migration period.
Therefore, from the beginning, the orcs' offensive was quite fierce.
Stanny and his knights originally expected that they could hold on for more than three days, but under the desperate attack of the orcs.
Let alone three days, they might not be able to hold on for three hours.
Especially when he saw two huge armored monsters appearing in the orc army, Stanny knew that his fortress was about to fall
