Chapter 24: The Town of Saumur

Arriving on the outskirts of Saumur, Rofan saw trenches dug everywhere outside the town, various wooden fences, and the town's walls raised with various planks.

At this time, he finally understood why the town of Saumur survived, this kind of preparation is not something that ordinary towns can do. And that's just the outside of the town, there must be a much more fortified defense.

"Looks like there's a master in this town. Luo Fan sighed.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?", seeing that Luo Fan and his party were all fully armed, the guard asked cautiously. After all, now the whole Sada is in chaos, and who knows what their intentions are.

"Cousin, it's me. Luo Fan saved a person before and shouted excitedly after seeing the face of the guard.

"Big cousin, why are you here. The guard, apparently overjoyed, hurriedly opened the city gates.

Luo Fan was confused for a while, what is the situation, the large-scale confession scene? But Luo Fan put this strange thought behind him in an instant, whatever, just come in, who cares about so many details.

As soon as he entered the door, Luo Fan saw that the two of them who had reunited first hugged politely, and then began to shush each other. After talking for a long time, they talked about Luo Fan's rescue of them, so as to dispel the guards' wariness of them.

It was only at this time that Luo Fan finally succeeded in entering the small town of Saumur, in fact, if it was just some fleeing civilians, the guards would not hesitate to open the city gate, without so many complicated procedures.

But when he saw Luo Fan with hundreds of heavily armed soldiers, he would hesitate, after all, the idea of chaos in many times is not much different between soldiers and bandits.

After waiting for a while, a special person came to arrange a place for them to live, walking on the street, looking at the layout of the town, Luo Fan was even more convinced that there must be a person in the city who was extremely proficient in strategic layout.

"The interior and exterior of your town are very well laid out. Luo Fan couldn't help but say to the person who received him.

"Haha, for sure, this is from our General Cole, who is one of the most famous people in this area. The receptionist said with his eyebrows fluttering, his eyes full of admiration.

"A general, interesting. Hearing this, Luo Fan became interested.

Especially in the following understanding, Luo Fan heard that the other party was a very famous old general during the time of Satun I, and he had a strong sense of reverence for him, and he wanted to meet the famous General Cole more and more.

Of course, Luo Fan wanted to see him for another reason, which was to remind him that hundreds of thousands of zombies were coming to this area, and he had to be fully prepared for battle.

As soon as the expeditionary force was settled, Luo Fan couldn't wait to visit General Cole.

"I heard from my men that you are from the west, from the city-state of Grad?" asked tentatively, after a pleasant greeting, the old general holding a teacup in one hand.

"Yes, we are indeed from the city-state of Grad, and we are on a mission to the south on the orders of the queen, passing through the precious land, and there is a lot of trouble. Luo Fan casually made up a reason and said politely.

"Where, where, I see that you kid has the demeanor of my time, who doesn't know that now the south has been occupied by that group of devils, and you still dare to go, isn't this courage commendable or whatever. ”

Hearing that Rofan was going to the southern region, General Cole's squinted eyes flashed with a glint of appreciation.

In the ensuing conversation, Luo Fan became more and more respectful of the old general Cole.

Originally, in Luo Fan's opinion, an old general who was so famous and once held a high position would have some arrogance in his temperament, and he would be a little old-fashioned and stubborn conservative in his thinking.

But chatting and chatting, Luo Fan can feel more and more General Cole's amiability, especially when talking about the domestic pattern of today's Sada, the heroic feeling of General Cole who directs the country and scolds Fang Xuan, even Luo Fan is ashamed of himself.

After chatting for a long time, the two talked happily, and the old general Cole was also very satisfied with the young man. Although he is relatively young now and still looks at problems very shallowly, his temperament is necessary for a general.

"This is a good seedling, and in time, it will become a great thing. General Cole looked at Luo Fan, although he was not shocked on the surface, but in his heart he had already decided that Luo Fan's future achievements would never be worse than him.

It took a moment for Luo Fan to realize the purpose of his visit.

"Old General Cole, in fact, I am here today to discuss something with you. Luo Fan said solemnly.

"Something. Seeing that Luo Fan's face became serious, the old general Cole hurriedly asked.

"A few days ago, I saw a large number of zombies coming from the south, and I think there are at least hundreds of thousands. I conservatively estimate that the number of zombies arriving in Saumur Town will not be less than 20,000, so you should be prepared, General. ”

Luo Fan gave a full picture of what he had observed in the telescope before.

"Tens of thousands of zombies, that's a lot of money. Hearing the number of zombies, General Cole frowned slightly and said.

After that, General Cole hurriedly ended the conversation with Luo Fan and asked the butler to escort Luo Fan out of the General's Mansion.

Luo Fan knew that the old general Cole was in a hurry to deploy the town's defense arrangements, and hurriedly clenched his fists and left. As he left, Rofan told General Cole that he could call him at any time if he had anything, to which General Cole nodded repeatedly.

Leaving the General's Mansion and recalling the conversation he had just had with General Cole, Luo Fan had an endless aftertaste for a while, and felt that his pattern had suddenly risen a lot.

The next day, Luo Fan found that the whole town was mobilized, and the residents began to consciously strengthen their windows and doors with wooden planks, and the militia went out of the town in groups to dig deeper trenches.

Luo Fan and his party were arranged by General Cole to carry the wooden fence that blocked the zombies, everything went in an orderly manner, and soon the whole town was once again reinforced by three layers inside and three layers outside.

General Cole did not seem to be very satisfied with this, and sent the militia to cut down the trees in the vicinity, and asked the carpenters to make them into sticks, and then sharpened the tails to create a large number of wooden spears, and almost every soldier and civilians in the town had one in their hands.

On the fifth day, the zombie army swooped towards the town. However, the number of zombies coming at this time was not large, and there was no need for the militia to intervene, and the trench that surrounded the outermost part of the town successfully stopped them.

By the seventh day, the zombies had just filled the trench, but they were nailed to the spot by the second layer of wooden fences, and a fence with sharp nail posts could string more than a dozen zombies together like a string of rock sugar gourds.

By the eighth day, when the zombies broke through to the gate of the town, there would be only a few thousand left. At this time, the old general Cole calmly sent the militia to line up, holding spears in hand, and stabbed towards the zombies in unison. That picture is simply a one-sided slaughter.

Seeing this, Luo Fan was basically already confused, this wave of operations is really too showy, tens of thousands of zombies are like this, they will be killed if they say they will be killed.

"Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy. Luo Fan said with heartfelt emotion.
