章 223: The Hill Attack Begins

Preparatory work took almost an hour. During that period, Xiao Lin did not forget to instruct each class to send some people to guard the main roads down the hill. It was to ensure that the enemy in the fortress would not be allowed to slip away that easily.

He was still worried in spite of that and coordinated once more with the various class monitors to gather students with relatively high Basic Archery skills. The task for them was very arduous—they were responsible for ensuring that no flying beast left the sky above the hill.

There were a few people who voiced out on how Xiao Lin seemed to be preparing for a huge war, but Xiao Lin merely replied, "Aren't you puzzled? All signs indicate that the orc army is coming, but the landfall itself was a sudden attack. How could the orc army know and respond so quickly when we were surrounded by water?"

"We didn't manage to kill all the fleeing merfolk. They must have informed the orcs."
