Chapter 283: Typhon and Goliath
The two gaps that Takayama Fort took over, one was "Goliath", which they had fought side by side with the Tiger Spirit and was familiar with, and the other was called "Typhon".
The distance between them is not far, about 20 miles. A normal march takes several hours, but if you fly, you won't even need a quarter of an hour.
Before assigning the manpower, the lord stepped on both sides of the flying sword and made a field trip.
The terrain of Goliath was narrow, not suitable for heavy cavalry combat, and there was basically no room for the Skar to play last time. On the inside of the Typhon gap, there is a relatively flat open field, which is large enough to accommodate more than a dozen Earth Dragons advancing side by side.
In this case, it is not appropriate to engage in egalitarianism and eat a big pot of rice.
Richard left all the Sherpas and the Dragoons in the Typhon gap, plus half of the infantry, archers, and shamans, and put Dracula under his command.
In fact, in Dracula's current state of mind, it would be a joke to say that the lord is very relieved. But there is no way, who calls all the members of the entire Ripper Legion one counts as one, just this thing depends on having received a complete military education and command experience.
Insisting on choosing a general among the dwarves is really a last resort, and I can only secretly pray that there will be no moths.
He himself took the other half of his men to guard the Goliath gap.
Before leaving, Richard left the dragon crystal with Dracula, and in case the war was tight, he could let Thutmose fly to the Goliath gap to report the news. When the time comes, I don't dare to say anything else, at least Richard can fly over to support him as quickly as he can.
Dracula was dressed in a crisp black gown, her golden curls fluttering gently in the breeze under the brim, and her handsome face was as cold as ice.
He stood on the rampart of the city wall and caressed his chest deeply at the lord who was departing with Edgeworth. When he stood up, his indifference suddenly melted, and he showed an incomparably bright smile, rolled his hands into a horn and put it to his mouth, and shouted loudly:
"The trust of the king really makes his subordinates terrified!"
Richard stumbled and almost fell off his sword without standing firm.
............
Back at the Goliath Gap, preparations are in full swing.
To deal with sand spiders, the general city defense equipment is not very useful. Whether it is a catapult or a bed crossbow, in the face of the sheer number of seas, there is inevitably an embarrassment that cannot be used.
Learning from the lesson of the last time, Takayama Fort specially prepared many large wooden barrels and scattered them in the open space outside the wall.
The barrels are marked with a flame on the surface and marked with a large circle with a red pen, meaning that there should be no open flames around them.
Because it contains "Hellfire" - a special fire oil, it is very easy to use. Throw a fireball spell up, and the surrounding square inch will instantly turn into a sea of purgatory fire.
If such a crude tactic is used against people, as long as you don't run into a stupid egg, don't even think about catching a hair.
But it is conceivable that this arrangement will surely bury countless sand spiders.
Because by human standards, they're stupid eggs.
Richard also calculated the blood cost - ordinary fire oil could not be lit at all, and the usage was to put it in a pot and slowly boil it and then pour it on the enemy. And this kind of hellfire that can be ignited directly is expensive, and it is a literal burning of money.
If it weren't for the fact that a large amount of extra money had just been credited to his account, and he knew that the next might be a hard battle, he would definitely be reluctant to buy so much at once.
The glorious task of counting the barrel has been handed over to Nehru.
Ever since he knew how many gold coins each bucket represented, the kobold shaman had been restless. He knew full well that if he dared to mess up, that slammer would definitely not let it go lightly.
"It looks worse than last time. Vera leaned against the wall, looking into the distance.
The walls of the city were littered with gray stains that had dried up the sand spider's body fluids, and it looked disgusting.
But there's no need to clean it up – the closer the twilight forest gets to the border, the drier the air becomes, and if left unattended for a few days, it will turn into debris and peel off on its own.
Even during the day, there were already sand spiders rushing in from time to time outside the gap, and then they were taken away by the tiger spirit or centaur with an arrow from a distance.
And by the evening of the same day, although it was not yet the night of the full moon, the scale of the sand spiders that came in was already quite considerable.
It was like a warm-up exercise in advance, and the fighters' performance was quite satisfactory. Although there were a lot of recruits, no one had stage fright in the end, and the tactical arrangements were carried out very resolutely.
The only headache that is not surprising is the troll warriors.
When the battle on the city wall was in full swing, these big-bellied Arhats were collectively napping under the wall, snoring like thunder and shaking the mountains.
Coming to the new world for the first time made them inexplicably fresh, and they were so excited to have fun along the way that they were all tired.
As the reliable king of the trolls, Hum Ha II is responsible for commanding the troll warriors. Left in the Goliath gap is Ha.
The lord saw him jump up and stomp on the heads of his compatriots, but he couldn't completely wake up the trolls from their dreams, and the quality of sleep was envious of others. But by the time the sand spiders were fought off and the fire was started to cook, all the trolls woke up with the smell......
"Tonight is the night of the full moon, arrange for the brothers to take turns to rest for a while. Richard explained to the leaders as he ate.
What they ate for this meal was sand spider meat, in fact, everyone was a little insensitive to thanks, but since their own lord was taking the lead in eating, they had to stuff it into their mouths.
To be fair, if you don't know the source, this kind of meat looks and tastes okay, at least not unpalatable. It's just that they have all seen the appearance of the sand spider before their deaths, and they have psychological disorders.
Only the troll warriors were not disgusted at all, and they all smiled. I am used to eating bran throat vegetables, and I finally got the opportunity to fill the meat tube, so I don't have to let it go.
"It's been arranged, so please rest for a while, my lord. Hurt munched on his sandwich with a blank face.
This kind of eating method created by the lord of the mountain castle in order to play cards and save trouble, once it was launched, it was much more popular than sand spider meat.
"I'm fine if I don't sleep for a week. Richard took a sip of the sour cream on his fingers, patted Nehru on the shoulder uncharacteristically, and said with a kind face: "By the way, you go to sleep quickly, sleep more." ”
"I'm not sleepy either. The kobold shaman's heart was suddenly a little moved, as if a warm current slowly spread in his chest.
When this faint gentleman still takes the initiative to care about people, it really makes people can't help but sigh.
"Sleep, recuperate, and don't make a mistake when you light the bucket at night, or you'll ......," the lord chuckled sadly.
"I'll just cover your heavenly spirit. Gunther added quietly.
"I'll throw you off the walls and feed the spiders. Abu then added.
"I'll scatter your ashes. Ha continued.
Nehru shuddered suddenly, as if he saw the whole world showing malice towards him. The sun is shining, but the heart is cold.
