Chapter 214: Digging a trench
Hua Qiu took the newly recruited 50 mercenaries and rushed out of the one-man wide West City Gate.
Hua Qiu looked at the centaurs in the distance as he walked, and seeing that they hadn't moved at all, he was a little relieved, and began to command the mercenaries to dig up at the city gate, while he continued to advance.
After 500 meters, the Centaurs still did not move.
Hua Qiu turned his head and asked Xiao Yueyue, "Xiao Yueyue, do you know why the Centaur Clan didn't come to attack?" ”
Xiao Yueyue said: "Brother, we are a little far away, and we can't observe it yet. ”
"Shall we come closer, then?" Hua Qiu said.
"Brother, you just wait for me here, they can't see me, it's safer for me to go." Xiao Yueyue thought about it, but decided to go and find out the news by herself.
Hua Qiu nodded in agreement and waited for Xiao Yueyue in place.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yueyue had already come to the front of the Centaur army, and Hua Qiu was taken aback: "More than 400 meters away, just a blink of an eye?" That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”
Hua Qiugang muttered, Xiao Yueyue has returned.
"Brother, the task they received was actually to surround the main city of Martin, and I don't see that they will attack more." Xiao Yueyue said.
"Then you mean you can dig casually?" Hua Qiu asked.
"Well, it's okay for now." Xiao Yueyue said with a smile.
Hua Qiu turned around and walked towards the city gate, thinking that being okay for the time being doesn't mean that he will be okay all the time, and said to Xiao Yueyue: "Xiao Yueyue, if it's not like this, you are fast, go and inquire about their information every hour, okay?" ”
"Brother is worried that they will suddenly attack?" Xiao Yueyue asked.
"Yes, there are mainly people from our Sword Alliance, and if you drop the level, it will be worth the loss." Hua Qiu said.
"Well, listen to my brother." Xiao Yueyue said with a smile.
Hua Qiu returned to the West City Gate and told everyone about the situation, and the noble man forgot to ask him: "Hua Qiu, how do we dig?" ”
"The Centaur is about 2.5 meters tall, so our trench must be at least taller than that, right? Otherwise, if they fall, won't they be able to climb up? Anyway, it's a purpose, the depth must not be less than 3 meters, the width, how can it be one and a half meters, right? As for the direction, it's just whatever you want, just use your imagination. ”
The noble man forgot a lot and said, "Okay, then we will go." ”
At this moment, the Ice Plain Myth came to the West City Gate with his friends.
The Ice Plains Myth immediately ran in front of Hua Qiu, and said proudly: "Great God, Great God, we have found a lot of good things!" Look! ”
With that, he began to take things out of his backpack.
spears, shovels, arrows, pickaxes, shovels, ropes...... A mess of things.
Hua Qiu's eyes lit up when he saw the shovel, and he hurriedly asked, "Bingyuan, where did you get this shovel?" Dig this up with half the effort! ”
"Hehe, great god, this shovel is not something that ordinary people can buy! I had encountered it when I was on a mission before, and as soon as I thought that digging a trench would definitely come in handy this time, I went to see it, and it turned out that I could still buy it. Ha ha! The Ice Plain Myth hurriedly invited the merit.
Hua Qiu smiled: "Good job!" How many shovels are there? ”
"I've bought all of the more than 200." The Icefield Myth says.
Hua Qiu stretched out his thumb and gave a thumbs up to the myth of the ice field, turned his head and said to the nobleman: "Agui, I see that there are still shovels, then you can distribute these tools yourself, I'll go first." Keep an eye on the Centaurs for their movements, and retreat as soon as they move. ”
"Good!"
Hua Qiu was a little uneasy, so he left Xiao Yueyue behind and came to the guild building with the shadow of the wind.
After releasing the information on the recruitment of 1,000 mercenaries, they hurried back to dig a trench with the others.
The old and young masters of the Sword Alliance and the recruited mercenaries were in full swing outside the West City Gate.
The dragon was brushing the task in the guild building, and suddenly found a task with a very high pay, and after a closer look, it turned out to be someone to dig a trench, and he couldn't help but say: "There are people in the game who post tasks to do coolies, and the bounty is so high, what kind of fool must this publisher be!" ”
muttered, for fear of being preempted by others, so he hurriedly took over the task, bought ten hoes and went to the task location.
He came out along the crack in the door of the West City Gate, and when he saw thousands of players working hard, he couldn't help but be startled, and said in his heart: ", there are no warriors under money!" ”
"New here?"
Hearing the sound of the dragon on the mount, he looked at the noble man and nodded.
"You go there and excavate, the depth is 3 meters, the width is 1.5 meters, and the direction is up to you." The noble man forgot a lot and pointed to a place, and after explaining a word, he stopped looking at him.
He rode the dragon with a sigh, and when he was about to leave, he saw the sword alliance badge on the nobleman's chest, and said in surprise: "Brother, are you from the Sword Alliance?" ”
The noble man nodded obliviously, and it was not strange for the mercenary with such a surprised expression.
"I said who would spend a lot of money to hire someone to do coolies, it turned out to be the Sword Alliance! Ha ha! The dragon laughed.
The noble man was so forgetful that he couldn't help but wonder when he heard the words: "Brother, why do you say that?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Hey, I'm going to work! The dragon hurriedly waved his hand and ran away.
This whole noble person forgets things inexplicably.
More than three hours passed, and with the joint efforts of more than 1,000 people, the trench had begun to take shape.
Looking from the city wall, you can see that the surface of the ground is full of potholes, with serpentine shapes, squares, triangles, and even barrels!
I don't know who dug the barrel, it is about ten meters in diameter, and it looks like a bottomless pit on the city wall.
Around the round hole are wooden sticks, which are connected by ropes and make a full circle around the round hole. The rope tightened and relaxed, as if a creature were breathing.
Hua Qiu, who had been digging for three hours, decided to take a look at the "progress of the project" and inspected the vicinity of this barrel, and couldn't help but be curious.
When I walked to the edge of the cave and looked down, I saw the Ice Myth and his friends.
Hua Qiu smiled, looking like he knew it was them, and shouted downward: "Ice Field, what if you dig so deep if the Centaur detour?" ”
The Ice Plain Myth looked up and saw that it was Hua Qiu, and did not answer immediately, but hurriedly stopped the little friends beside him: "Okay, okay, don't dig, this is more than ten meters deep, almost!" It's time to take the next step! ”
Hua Qiu felt strange, so he climbed down the rope and asked, "Ice Field, where did all the soil you dug go?" Also, what are you digging so deep? ”
The Ice Plain Myth smiled smugly and said, "Great God, you'll know in a moment." ”
"You're still selling it to me!" Hua Qiu lightly hammered the Ice Field Myth and said with a smile.
