Working Prophet.

Chapter 177
"But if we don't bring the militia, we can only gather 500 people. Even with those annoying lizardmen, there are only less than 500 people. How can we deal with the black dragon with such a small number of people?" someone questioned.

"I need to remind you one thing," the old knight said again, "Even if we really recruited an army of 5000 people, we don't have that much equipment to arm them. Still, you plan to let those militiamen follow with wooden spears and wooden shields?" That dragon is desperate?"

After Ilea took over the green field, the financial situation of the Arias family improved. Not long ago, they purchased a batch of weapons and protective gear from the Golden Fleece Chamber of Commerce for the first time.

Now these weapons and protective gear have been sent to the green field one after another, but they are barely enough for the newly recruited soldiers. As for the militia, Miss Rabbit really can't care.

In fact, even if the Arias family is a professional soldier, the level of weapons and equipment in the western region is only at the middle and lower levels.

However, the opponent they were going to face this time was covered with almost invulnerable scales, which also made everyone in the hall frown.

After a while, someone said, "Let's continue to seek help from the Figueirola family. That black dragon is too powerful. It is difficult to defeat it with the strength of the Arias family alone!"

The man's proposal was approved by many people, but the girl shook her head and said, "Our only reinforcements are Sir Ferdinand and the 300 people he brought."

Her words caused an uproar in the hall.

"How is this possible?!" A knight said, "Didn't you say that all the families in the western region have agreed to form a coalition to fight against the black dragon, and I heard that the commander of the coalition was just elected three days ago, the Marquis second son Hels."

"There will be no more reinforcements." Ilea repeated the previous sentence, "Have you forgotten what happened when the lizardmen surrounded Teacup Castle?"

When everyone heard this, their expressions became ugly.

Of course, they will not forget that just four months ago, a large number of lizardmen suddenly appeared in the swamp. Those vicious robbers burned, killed and looted in the green fields like locusts. Many people suffered heavy losses in their fiefs. Until now Haven't fully recovered yet.

Moreover, those lizardmen later ran to the Teacup Castle. However, no one except the Bathory family responded to the call for help from the Arias family to the nobles in the western region.

"But it's different this time." Some people still don't want to give up. "This time the coalition forces are organized by the Figueirola family. Those big families don't care about our lives, but they must obey the orders of the Figuerola family." .”

"If the Marquis of Cullen is still in the western region, maybe it is true." The female lord said, "But unfortunately, he has been away from Yanxue City for a while, and no one knows where he is now and when he will return.

"And there is not only one voice within the Figuerola family. Lord David does support sending troops, but the commander elected this time is Hells, and he is not the main combat faction."

"But since Lord Hells has taken over the position of commander in chief, even if it's just for the honor of being a nobleman, shouldn't he run away?"

"Indeed..." The girl's voice paused.

The truth about Ruth's death involved many forces, even the royal family. Although Ilea wanted to avenge her father, she also knew the danger, so she only told Li Yu from the beginning to the end.

She didn't intend to make this matter public until she obtained absolute evidence, but it would be difficult for her to explain to others why she firmly believed that the reinforcements from the Figuerola family would not come.

Ilea is still looking for an excuse, but Pablo on the side has already yelled, "Where are there so many mothers-in-law? Miss Ilea is the head of the Arias family. She makes judgments based on the situation. We, as her fief I just need to resolutely carry out her order, and she doesn't need to explain it to us."

Pablo is an old man who has served the Arias family for many years, and he was responsible for the security of Teacup Castle until the change of owner. There is no one in the whole green field who has not dealt with him, so his Still a good portion.

Although many people still have doubts in their hearts, no one asked any more questions after hearing what he said.

On the other side, Miss Rabbit also used the time Pablo bought for her to find a fairly suitable excuse.

"I offended Miss Angela of the Emmanuel family before, and the Emmanuel family has been delaying sending troops this time in order to retaliate against me.

"And I heard that Theodossi, the Patriarch of the Emmanuel family, has a good relationship with Lord Hells. He is likely to use this personal relationship to make things difficult. I'm not saying that reinforcements will definitely not come, but we have to do well May be prepared to fight alone."

Everyone's heart tightened when they heard the words, and they felt heavy pressure.

It took a long time before someone spoke again, with a distressed expression on his face, "It's not that we don't want to work hard, it's just that we don't have enough manpower, and we don't have weapons that can break through the scales on the Dragon Mountain!"

His words spoke out the aspirations of many people in the house. If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing to do with the dragon, the Arias family would not need to ask for help from the outside world.

During this period of time, Ilea ran around asking for help and was also seen by everyone.

It's just that the end result was brutal.

Except for the Bathory family, the hard-core allies of the Arias family, no soldiers appeared in the green field.

In fact, even if Ilea didn't say anything, many people began to have doubts about the air reinforcements that had not arrived, but no one wanted to face this reality.

Because that was almost a death sentence for the Arias family.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the hall, "Yes."

Li Yu, who had been silent before, finally said, "I have weapons that can injure or even kill that black dragon."

"Really?!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their faces showed joy.

Although most of the people present were believers of the Goddess of Silver Moon, they were different from those who believed in Pithia in other places. They all knew the power of Shuangxiu Sect and Li Yu.

Especially after the Yinyue Church took great pains to organize the medical competition, Li Yu's name was known to everyone in the vicinity of the green field, from nobles to commoners.

If there is still anyone who can stand up and solve the problem right now, it is probably only Li Yu and Saturday behind him.

Before I knew it, Ilea was not the only one who thought this way.

It's just that this time the opponent is too strong, and even Miss Rabbit doesn't have as much confidence in Li Yu as before.

And unlike others, Ilea, who is the lord of the green field, already knew the existence of the Sea King's Halberd in advance, and the girl also admitted that this kind of crossbow was very strong. It is said that Li Yu built four of them in one go.

But this kind of giant crossbow was originally used by the Wei Ting family for naval battles to attack enemy warships. If it was used to hunt dragons that moved faster and could fly, Miss Rabbit didn't know how useful they would be.
