Chapter 80: Final Preparations

The last day before the date of the war. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Another wall has been erected outside the south gate, which works with the main wall to form a convex structure that can be perfectly covered by firepower. The flag of the Noxian vanguard captured during the previous battle of Sunhunter Town was cut with three striking knife marks and hung above the city gate.

Ignition ditches have been dug in the open space outside the outer walls and the main walls. Five or six feet deep, about ten yards wide, it was filled with dry wood and shrubs, and the dried wood was excellent fuel. Wooden barrels hang on the high wall directly above the ditch, and the oil from the barrel can be poured into the ditch at any time with a pull of the rope.

On the plain in front of the city wall, a dummy army formation was set up, which was nailed there by the archers as a target for practice, and with a "release arrow" order, the arrows were overwhelming, and the body of the straw dummy was immediately filled with arrows.

When Reginad inspected the city walls, he also used magic to levitate the dummies, floating endlessly, and the scarecrows moved like real military formations, turning them into moving targets.

As a result, they soon became "hedgehogs".

The archers of Sun Hunter are truly skilled.

Zelos trained with the soldiers every day, and it is said that he was cheered and thrown high by the soldiers when he won yesterday's sword fighting competition.

He was finally no longer the cowardly commander who was ridiculed by the soldiers, and he was no longer the guy who had to eat alone in the corner every day at noon, and no one wanted to be with him.

Every time he appeared on the training ground, there were soldiers who greeted him warmly.

Now his job is to rehearse the retreat, which is very important, and he must ensure that the loss of personnel in the event of the loss of the newly built faΓ§ade is minimized. The outer wall is nothing but a delaying effect, and the loss is a doomed and necessary strategy.

The soldiers quickly rushed down the battlements, through the planks on the ignition ditch between the walls, and climbed the ropes hanging from the main walls, where the archers had to provide cover and avoid injuring their own men.

Their speed is increasing with each drill.

The overall situation has improved again and again, so the problem of details has become more and more prominent.

"But who is responsible for pouring the oil and lighting the fire? Once the outer walls are breached, our soldiers are likely to mix with the Noxian army. At that time, it was not easy to give this order to ignite. Over lunch, Zelos posed his question to Reginald.

"It's best to have archers, but there may not be enough people on the main walls for the firepower of the outer walls. We need to arrange for a special torch bearer, and you need to find a calm and bold officer to command and give orders, and no matter who is left behind, no matter who is left behind. As long as the horn sounds, pour oil and light the fire, there can be no delay for a moment. ”

An officer said that there were serious problems with the toilets on the city walls, that they were in disrepair and unhygienic, and most importantly that the number of manure pits was grossly insufficient.

"Our soldiers can't stand the rush to fight!"

So Reginard urgently summoned two teams to clean up and expand.

Several soldiers fought due to the competition and friction between the clans, and Reginald and Li Qing hurried to the scene, trying to calm their emotions, and it took a lot of effort to make them understand that their opponent should be a Noxian.

A soldier applied to leave the team temporarily and go to the city to have a tryst with a good girl, Reginard sharply refused his request, the other party was soft and hard, and the white-robed mage had already been impatient by a basket of troubles, and yelled at him directly: "If you don't go back to training, you will dig a dung pit for me!" ”

There are more and more such questions, and the list goes on and on. Reginard felt like he was about to break down. These troubles almost overwhelmed him.

"Why should I get involved in such troubles!" Reginad roared like this more than once, and then there was silence, and after a while he resumed his planning.

In the afternoon, Li Qing went to the training ground, practiced with the soldiers, and asked each team to select elite soldiers in groups of five to fight against him, and then the guys were beaten by him, and fell to the ground moaning.

Later, a team of the most inconspicuous-looking soldiers used four people to contain Li Qing, leaving the thin little man to sneak attack from the rear, and suddenly rode on Li Qing's neck and knocked him to the ground.

Li Qing rubbed his sore shoulders, praised the team, and said to the team present: "No matter how good a martial artist is, he can't take care of his back, I need you to remember this, no matter whether you have friends in the army or not, even if you don't find one now, you must make sure that someone takes care of your back when you start a war." ”

He moved his neck, his muscles rattling. "Now, the next group!"

Reginard crossed his arms and watched Li Qing's actual combat training from a distance, seeing this, he smiled with satisfaction, and then returned to the city wall, ready to debug the giant crossbow and catapult on the top of the wall.

"This range is too short, and the power of the giant crossbow is obviously not enough! The renovation must be completed before it gets dark! How many stone bullets can you make? ”

Endless problems, solved one and new ones will pop up, and more than one.

The occasional leisure time is only enough time for him to go back to the office for a cup of coffee, but it is also a very comfortable time for him to relax.

Irelia would always prepare it for him, and to be honest, the craft of making coffee had never even been heard of before Reginald arrived.

Later in the evening, when the troublesome business was finally settled, Reginad called for an order to be sent to Zeroth.

When the young city guard appeared before him, Reginard hesitated, but spoke anyway:

"I decided to send someone to Demacia for help." He looked at Zeroth, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I think you're the best fit, Zeroth. ”

"But ......"

"Nothing, I know you want to prove yourself on the walls, but it's just as great a task, and if you remain so isolated, the city of Presidium will be destroyed. I will select the best cavalry to accompany you, and the Equilibrium Ninja Akali will escort you to the secluded places where the ships are hidden by the sea. It's a dangerous trip, but even if Noxus lays a net, you'll have to fight your way out and bring the news of your call for help to Demacia. ”

There was a twinkle in Zeroth's eyes, and finally, he nodded. "Okay."

Reginard took out a cloth bag, spread it out, and showed him its contents. "This is Valoran's map, and this ring was given to me by King Gavin III, and with it, the kingdom of Demacia will fulfill its promise."

"Also, I have a personal matter that I would like to ask you for." He took out a brown paper envelope from a drawer and placed it in a package, which looked freshly written, and the wax seal had not yet dried. "This letter, after arriving in the kingdom of Demacia, asked His Majesty Gavin to send someone to Piltover, and give it to the explorer Ezreal."

Reginad looked at Zelos and nodded heavily. "Please."
