"Gnolls?"

Zhang Yang subconsciously thought like this, but then he felt that it was unlikely.

Although it has been 27 days since the last brief battle between the two sides, it is still not easy for the Gnolls to recover, considering that they lost 61 captain-level soldiers and 37 elite soldiers in the last battle.

Even if the Gnolls can solve the source of the demon spirits, but what about the source of the population?

The maximum recruitment limit of the village building order that cannot be publicized is 500 people, and the upper limit of the opponent's recruitment is 5000.

"Can you confirm the identity of the other party?"

"Returning to the village elder, no, the recruitment of the Abyss Ghost Clan is not very difficult, so it is impossible to determine which force they belong to, the only thing I can be sure of now is that these three little ghosts who just appeared, they are very cautious, they don't dare to get close to the village within five kilometers at all, if it weren't for my ghost eyes that happened to find their traces, it would be difficult for me to detect them. ”

"Even, when I tried to catch them, they immediately ran away without a trace. ”

The ghost priest didn't give too many clues, and Zhang Yang didn't blame it for being a more advanced ghost clan that couldn't catch the three village ghosts, after all, the most important role of the ghost priest was to accumulate yin qi and constantly restore the durability of the Wood Demon Tower, which did not belong to the battle sequence, otherwise if the ghost assassin was changed, the other party's imps would not want to get close to a radius of ten kilometers at all.

Of course, it's not bad now, at least there is no need to worry about the enemy peeping into the village through the ghost, and in a sense, this can be regarded as a wake-up call for the enemy to give himself.

"After the notice, the patrol team increased their vigilance, and used the third-level vision charm every ten minutes in places where there was no ghost eye watching. ”

"The construction of the castle continues. ”

"The quarrying team continues to mine the stone, well, led by me. ”

After a little thought, Zhang Yang gave the order, and he was only a little surprised now, without the slightest worry or panic.

He was even expecting an enemy to come to the door.

Since scaring off a hero-level flying monster half a month ago, Zhang Yang ordered the archer team led by Qin Yidao, Liu Dali, Sun Goudan and others to change their vigilance method, that is, to hide.

A total of 12 archer captains and 10 spearmen captains do nothing every day, hiding in the castle, ready to attack any flying monster that dares to approach the village.

Among them, the captain of the archers each carries 30 ordinary golden eagle armor-piercing arrows or wolf's tooth arrows, and there are also 5 golden eagle armor-piercing arrows that are strengthened by Zhang Yang with mana and demonic power, with a sharpness of +3 and evil characteristics.

Counting the captain-level archbows that have also been strengthened, their attack power can definitely be called terrifying.

And the 10 spearmen captains were also given special care, allowing each of them to carry ten imprisoned spears.

Their existence can cover a three-dimensional space with the castle as the center, a radius of 500 meters, and an altitude of 300 meters.

In this area, there are barracks, training grounds, dwellings, and granaries, all of which happen to be within the scope of protection.

Then, 500 meters away, to a kilometer away, there is basically the farmland of the village, where Zhang Yang arranged two daily patrol teams.

Each team consisted of five men and included one bow captain, two shield captains, and two spearmen captains.

In the event of an accident, they will move closer to the fort as soon as possible, and together with 17 other elite soldiers, they will cover the farmers and villagers into the fort, and then rely on the fort to fight.

This is the inner line of defense of the village, and finally the outer line of defense, that is, the five-kilometer patrol circle, consisting of the Storm Bear Quartet plus four archer captains and six shield captains.

They will carry two ghost eyes, a large number of Level 3 vision charms, and protective charms, and patrol in a five-kilometer area.

If five days ago, the strength of their patrol was a little weak, but after Zhang Yang strengthened all of their weapons, it would be braggatable to say that they could confront a hundred captain-level soldiers head-on, but if the enemy only had fifty captain-level soldiers, it would definitely be looking for death.

Because the equipment of the Storm Bear Quartet can be called the most luxurious in the village at present, and it is also carefully strengthened by Zhang Yang with the greatest strength, Duan Kuan's knife, Wang Mumu's shield, Song Da's hammer, and Zhou Datou's armor-piercing cone, all of which are high-quality.

Even if you encounter a hero like the Blackskin Mountain Monster again, it is not an exaggeration to say that they can kill them in an instant.

Even if there are many captain-level archers on the opposite side, they can form a shield array and rush forward in one go, or retreat smoothly under the cover of the shield array.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yang dared to leave the village with confidence and boldness, he felt that he might be able to deceive the enemy who was peeping in secret, if the enemy wanted to take the opportunity to quickly annihilate this patrol team.

As for the quarrying team led by Zhang Yang, the configuration was equally luxurious, Wu Yuan, plus six archer captains, eleven shield captains, two spearman captains, seven craftsmen, plus himself, a total of 28 people.

They are heading to a quarry eight kilometers away, which could also be a key target for the enemy.

"Hey, am I a little floating now? ”

Before leaving, Zhang Yang thought in his heart, quite strange.

But he still didn't hesitate, because he was sober.

First of all, the construction of the castle is at a critical juncture, and it can't be stopped, and there is no reason to stop because of the appearance of the three imps.

Secondly, during this time, Wu Yuan and the Storm Bear Quartet had already investigated clearly, within a radius of more than ten kilometers, there was no second stone mine, and they had to go to the quarry eight kilometers away, or that sentence, the construction of the castle must not be stopped.

Third, since the quarrying team must be dispatched every day, it is better to follow it in person than to publicize that he is hiding in the lair and worrying, he is not a weak chicken now, if he has so many hole cards, and the result is still surrounded by the enemy and killed, then even if he has been hiding in the castle, he can't change the final outcome.

And then there is the last and most important reason, that is, Zhang Yang does not want to be a pure strategist, commanding lord, during this time he went crazy to build a village, that is completely forced to helpless.

Now that he has the opportunity, why should he hide in the village, fighting, facing the battle of life and death, is the best way to grow.

You can't hide from it.

After a while, he will start the Hero Trial, if he doesn't seize the opportunity to hone himself now, then there will only be him and Wu Yuan, what should he do?
