Denying Lorne and Doug's suggestions, Ed analyzed their current situation to the two.
"The number of our cavalry is too small, and we lack knights.
The orcs are obviously well-prepared.
In this case, rushing out will only lead to faster death."
Seeing Lorne's face dim and Doug's face pale, Ed said again He added, “However, relying on the defense of the sentry, we have no chance of survival.
The information about the entry of the orcs had been sent out by Sir Fast a few days ago, and according to usual practice, the vanguard should have set off long ago.
According to my estimation, they won't be too far from our location.
And coupled with yesterday's distress signal and our beacon command, they will definitely look for traces of the orcs in our direction.
Therefore, we do not need to rely on sentries to defeat the orcs.
It only takes two days, two days at most.
The Marquis's advance troops will arrive, and by then, we will be saved."
That makes sense.
Lorne pulled out the map Owen gave him and spread it in front of Ed and said, "Where is our position?"
Ed obviously did not expect that Lorne would have a detailed map of the border.
This thing was worthless in Lorne's eyes.
But the circles marked on it are definitely military secret level maps.
To put it bluntly, if this thing falls into the hands of an orc, it will be much easier to sneak into the country secretly.
Of course, the premise is that those guys can read maps.
Ed only understood the map in Lorne's hand after fighting on the grassland for a period of time.
Pointing to one of the small dots, he said: "This is our sentry."
He looked at the direction pointed by Ed, and then recalled the marching position of the army that Owen had told him.
Lorne was not a professional, so he could only continue to ask Ed: "The army is probably located here.
How long would it take for them to arrive if they discover our distress signal?"
Unexpectedly, Lorne knew the location of the army so well, and Ed felt that Lorne should not be underestimated.
He gestured at the distance on the map and replied: "It's not that far.
If we go all out, it will definitely not take more than two days.
At the latest, we will see them before dark tomorrow."
Ed's words should be considered good news.
The time now is probably midnight and early morning.
Normally, the orcs would not choose to attack at this time.
Although the dark night can cover their attack, it will also cause unnecessary losses to the attacking side.
Calculated this way, they only need to persist for one day.
With tall walls, strong gates, and more than two hundred soldiers on his side.
This is not a difficult task Lorne carefully analyzed the strengths of both the enemy and ourselves, and finally decided to agree to Ed's plan to stick to it.
"Knight Keith, you are an experienced knight.
I trust your judgment.
Please tell me how I should help you."
The loss of Doug's sentry means that Lorne will also die, so this time he can't help but cheat.
Trying to help Ed with the defense of the entire outpost is the right way to go.
Ed has already seen Lorne's soldiers.
Although they are few in number, it is undeniable that their strong will is daunting.
The orcs came to the city, and Ed couldn't find even a little bit of fear in them.
It seemed as if the soldiers gathered behind Lorn were all emotionless killing machines.
With such a group of warriors who were not afraid of life and death joining them.
Ed can prepare one more reserved plan.

"Sir Fast, the orcs should not attack for the time being.
I need your soldiers to get enough rest.
When dawn tomorrow, there will probably be a fierce battle.
By then, I hope your soldiers can form a line of defense.
If the gate is breached by orcs, can your soldiers hold them off for a while?"
If the gate is really breached by the orcs, it will prove that they are helpless.
Ed made this arrangement hoping to rely on the tenacious will of Lorne's soldiers to buy them the final time to escape.
In this regard, the soldiers of the Gerald family were obviously not as good as Lorne.
Giving the task to Lorne's soldiers can buy more time.
Lorne heard what Ed meant by asking his soldiers to take the rear.
Of course, the soldiers who stayed behind would not have a chance of survival.
But Lorne didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage, because his soldiers were in charge of the rear, which meant that they did not need to participate in the battle to defend the orcs.
As long as things don't go bad and the orcs break through the gate and hold on until the arrival of the Marquis' army, his losses will be minimal.
Agreeing with Ed's plan, Lorne asked the ordinary soldiers to rest.
Only Robert and the scammer were left with him.
If he really wanted to retreat and escape, having their two strongest bodyguards would also improve Lorne's survival rate.
The preliminary plan has been finalized, and in an environment full of orcs, Lorne has no intention of going back to sleep.
Looking at the densely packed figures in the distance, he began to wonder why these guys were chasing him and how they followed him silently, not showing up until they completed the encirclement.
He carefully recalled all the battles with the orcs, and the words Owen said when he fought with the red wolf cavalry came back into his mind.
Coupled with the orcs' desperate attacks on the scammers, Lorne discovered that everything seemed to be related to the scammers.
Could it be that the former cheater was a very important figure in the orc tribe, and the orc army in front of him went to great lengths to surround him just to recover the cheater?
I really hope that the scammer can give him the answer personally, but not only does this guy have a confused memory, the key is that he can't even speak human words.
Unless Lorne throws it out as an experiment to see if the orcs will retreat because he handed over the trap.
There is no doubt that when the last resort comes.
Lorne can really do this kind of thing But now, he is still ready to resist first.
"Sir Fast, I suggest you take a rest first.
Otherwise, I'm worried that if there is an accident tomorrow, your physical strength will not be able to keep up."
After Ed finished arranging the defense work, he came to Lorne's side again.
Doug returned to normal after believing that he would not be dismembered by the orcs, and judging from the military map that Lorne was able to obtain, he felt that it might be safer to follow Lorne.
"Yes, Lorne.
Ed is right.
If an accident happens tomorrow, we must act together.
Maybe my behavior just now was a bit embarrassing, but you have to believe me, we are friends.
I will not leave you alone "Thrown away."
He said this, but in his heart Doug prayed that Lorne would not leave him and run away alone.
Important people always receive special treatment.
If someone came to save Lorne, he hoped that Lorne would be able to help him
