Chapter Seventy-One: There Must Be a Way
"Your Majesty......!" the baron nodded vigorously;
Judging by his resolute look, he must have understood his own thoughts—Eddie thought.
"Then, after this battle has passed, you should express your will to the city of Steelwood and show your allegiance to the Ernemi family;
Since I am the only one left in the royal family, I ......"
Add's expression softened slightly,
"He can't give any other orders other than to make a move against me, can he give other orders that will cause substantial damage to the royal family, right?"
Eddie's open-mindedness softened the baron's mood considerably, and he wiped his sweat and tidied up a little;
The situation remains dire.
"The next thing to solve is the problem of Warcraft and the army of Black Mud Town. Eddie's expression was still quite calm, "Obviously, the current problem cannot be solved by communication. ”
Black Mud Town and Maple Town have a feud, and it is unlikely that they will live in peace because of a few words, let alone the Demon Beast side.
"Then you'll have to beat them head-on. Add said lightly, "How many cores are left?"
“...... It's only about enough to withstand half the size of the beast tide last time. Fang Dun replied, "Although I can collect some from the city, I ......"
"No need to collect, Fang Dun, I saw your attack that day, and your biggest problem is that you can't effectively gather those beasts. Eddie calmly analyzed the situation,
"Due to the speed and dispersion of the Darkcloud Pony, the attacks of the magic array can easily miss, and even in the mission, there are usually only one or two in the killing range;
If it were possible to concentrate its offensive lines together, it would be much easier to deal with them. ”
"Your Majesty, Kaede Town has limited financial resources and cannot build a fortification as strong as the city wall...... "The baron explained in a low voice, "The earth wall can only delay the attack of the Dark Cloud Pony to a certain extent, and even if you build more of it, it will not be of great use......"
"Yes, so we shouldn't use the Dirt Wall to defend against the Darkcloud Pony's attacks. Add nodded, "We should use the other way." Tomorrow, you'll need to provide me with some wood—about arm's width of wood—and some stout twine—and I'll teach you how to solve this on the spot. ”
"Yes......" The Baron nodded a little confusedly, what kind of method could withstand the surprise attack of the Darkcloud Pony?
"Well, the next thing to do is to resist the attack of the Black Mud Army, the blue wolf will obviously choose the time when the beast tide is at its most powerful to attack, and we must be prepared on both sides. ”
"He could only attack from the south side of the town in order to take the castle as quickly as possible. Baron Fang Dun grimaced, "But obviously...... The soldiers below could not stop him, even if the whole army was committed. ”
"I've seen that your main weapons are swords and spears, and there are fewer people who use bows and arrows. "This has something to do with the limited lethality and low hit rate of bows and arrows in combat." ”
"Your Majesty's words are extremely ...... Generally speaking, the bows and arrows of the soldiers could not penetrate the frontal armor of the enemy soldiers, and the accuracy was quite limited, and it was said that only the powerful nobles and their subordinates would have a large archery team......"
Training archers was a costly job for the minor nobles - Eddie knew that, and unless he spent a lot of time training, those few men would be of little use in battle.
"Yes, bows and arrows must be combined in a piece to have a deterrent effect, and there is really no need for the strength of this town. Add continued, "But you can use some new weapons. ”
"New weapons?" ...... you mean?" Fang Dun frowned: Your Majesty doesn't look like he's wearing any weapons?
"Again, I will deliver that weapon to you tomorrow, and before I can do so, I will need you to provide you with some materials: two bows and arrows, some arrows, some good quality wood, a bundle of string, and some of the necessary tools of a carpenter. ”
Carpenter...... Fang Dun was even more puzzled, did Your Majesty still learn carpentry?
How could a lord of a nation learn that kind of craft?
"Alright, I'm tired today, is there a problem arranging two rooms for me and my retinue in the castle?"
"I didn't ...... No problem. Fang Dun nodded.
"Then let's talk about it tomorrow - the tools I want, get them to the room as soon as possible!, and besides, in front of outsiders, remember not to reveal my identity!" Eddie finally emphasized;
"Yes...... Someone ——! come," Baron Fang Dun finally let go of his voice, "Arrange two rooms for the distinguished guests of the Ryler family!"
The squire then arrived, respectfully motioning for Add to follow him;
Nightstar was most confused at this moment—she couldn't think of what Eddie had said to the Baron to make Baron Fang Dun so respectful;
Orange Wind is not clear, but it is slightly better, after all, Eddie gives her the impression that "anything can be done";
Gray wrists naturally know it.
In addition to the quarters of the guards and attendants, there are also some houses dedicated to entertaining distinguished guests;
The four of them were sent to two adjoining rooms - Orange Wind was in the same room as Nightstar, and Add could call them over a little louder;
It didn't take long for the chef to deliver a hearty lunch—roasted beef and a delicious mushroom soup, plus fluffy and sweet tortillas, which were much more delicious than the brown bread I'd been eating, and Eddie's strength had regained a bit.
After dinner, one of the squires brought what Eddie needed: two standard wooden bows for soldiers, and a pot of arrows;
ten sturdy square sticks the thickness of an arm, a bundle of string, and a set of carpenter's tools: axes, hammers, chisels, planers, saws, rulers, and fountains;
Gray Wrist looked stunned on the side - what does the young master want these things for?
Add had grown up watching him grow up, and Grey Fist knew that the court had never taught him anything about carpentry!
Surely this kind of thing is not taught in the court...... Editho smiled;
In fact, even before the crossing, Eddie rarely saw these woodworking equipment, let alone actually operate them.
Now it is clear that an explanation needs to be given to the gray wrist -
Of course, this is not difficult.
"Last night, the god of the sun gave me a magical drawing...... "Add lowered his voice and smiled with a bit of mystery in his smile, "this device...... It can help us break the current impasse. ”
"The young master has such an adventure...... "Gray wrist's eyes widened;
"That's right, the way the instrument was made is as clear and firm in my mind as the pattern carved on the table with a dinner knife......" Eddie said, picking up the saw—
He suddenly had the slightest idea of changing the name of the "Laplace" system to the "Apollo" system;
After all, this sun god is so easy to use......
