In any case, whether Benjamin instructed or Marisa made her own initiative, the matter of money, food, and equipment was finally solved, and even the army source could be partially solved, and the best way was to use the resources accumulated by the druids to fight the druids.

"Are you telling the truth?" After the meeting was held three times, only Lan Xian'er and Higg were left, and Lan Xian'er asked Higg, "Benjamin would really do this?" ”

"Yes!" "And that's not all he's going to do!" The king is destined to be alone, and since Benjamin has chosen this dangerous profession, he should understand this, just like Maria, as the prince, also knows very well that kings have been lonely since ancient times! ”

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go on like this?" Lan Xian'er asked, "Is it worth it for us to help him like this?" ”

"Where is it not dangerous?" "To help him is to help ourselves!" Benjamin knows exactly what he needs and what we need, so he's not worried that we're not going to cooperate with him in doing so! Blue Fairy, you have a kind heart, but don't think that everyone is kind in heart! From the beginning to the end, it was a deal between Benjamin and me, and both of us thought it was a good deal, so it was done. What he needs is the throne and power, what we need is to expand his strength and get the ore you need, then the common goal is to be a druid! ”

"At that time, he comes out to pick peaches, and you can watch your gains be taken away by others?" Lan Xian'er asked.

Higg shook his head and said, "I don't know, like you said, I can't control Benjamin's thoughts if I do it according to my own heart, but I can be worthy of my heart!" ”

"You're so tired!" Lan Xian'er hugged Xige in her arms and said softly, "For my sake, you are willing to risk offending two kings!" Perhaps, you should talk to Benjamin about the conditions! ”

"You're so stupid!" Higg said, "How can I go when it comes to conditions? ”

"What, am I going?" Lan Xian'er was surprised.

"Don't forget, we still have Princess Maria!" Higg said, "If Benjamin succeeds in recovering the Druid's territory, what will happen to the current territory of the Forest Country?" Don't forget, it was only lent by Erathia to the Elven King. Benjamin can recover the territory of the druids, but since the old territory has been recovered, Erathia, whether it is Catherine or Arad, has the right to claim the existing territory of the forest country, of course Benjamin will not give up the territory governed by several generations of elf kings, then, he will definitely sit down to negotiate, talk if he can talk, and if he can't talk, he may turn his face, the most uncomfortable is Auguston, he will not sit still, the entire forest country will become a battlefield for major forces to compete! ”

"What do you want to say?" Lan Xian'er asked.

"I want to say that when the time comes, we will also be one of the forces!" Higg said.

"You want to grab land too?"

"I don't have the whole mind, but the tree wants to move and the wind doesn't stop, I don't rob it, and others don't believe it!" Higg laughed, "And Catherine and Benjamin will definitely try their best to win us over, and then the conditions will be up to us!" ”

"Still have to fight and kill!" Blue Fairy said, "Middle-earth will be too dangerous if it continues like this! Eh, when will the whole troubled world end! ”

"Brother Higg!" Jesse rushed in in a hurry, and when he saw the two hugging each other, his face turned red as soon as he brushed the ground, and he froze in place, looking down and not knowing what to say.

"What's wrong?" Higg let go of Blue Fairy and smiled, "Who bullied you?" ”

"I want to join the army!" Jesse looked up and said.

Lan Xian'er smiled: "Hehe, what's wrong, what's stimulating?" ”

"I heard from Marisa that she wants to recruit new recruits in Korqin City, and I want to go too!" Jesse said.

"Wouldn't it be nice for you to be with us?" Higg asked curiously, "What kind of soldier is a girl?" ”

Jesse said angrily, "What's wrong with the woman, isn't Marissa a woman?" What's wrong with the kid, didn't Thomas become a general at sixteen or seventeen? Didn't you start fighting the war yourself when you were a teenager? I'm eighteen years old this year, and I'm not a kid anymore! ”

"Tell me your reasons!" Higg asked, "Why join the army!" ”

Jesse said: "I have nothing to do in the whole army, even that weak butterfly cloud can transmit information, I can't do nothing, everyone looks down on me!" ”

"Lan Xian'er, how do you usually discipline children!" Higg laughed, "What are you used to him all about?" It's okay to shout and kill! ”

"This is the child you brought back, and it has nothing to do with me!" Lan Xian'er said, "Jesse, sister supports you, who said that women are inferior to men?" When the time comes, you will also be a general! ”

"I've got enough headaches here, and you're still making trouble for me!" "It's okay to be a soldier, but you can't go to war, it's too dangerous!" ”

"What's the point of that?" Jesse said, "Didn't you say it's dangerous everywhere?" How can a soldier not go to battle? Anyway, I'm already an adult, I'm just here to inform you, if you don't agree, I'm going too! ”

After Jesse finished speaking, he turned around and ran out, leaving behind Higg, whose expression froze, and Lan Xian'er, who was smiling on the side......

Higg handed over the raiding of the druid's warehouse to Marissa and Corintha as they were elves through and through, and their hatred of the druids and their affection for the elves and dwarves made the job easier to carry out and resonate with the lowest citizens of Korqin City.

What's more, the expeditionary force has only become famous until now, that is, His Majesty Benjamin, the Elven King, swore to destroy the druid forces for the sake of the suffering forest clan, so he sent the vanguard into the druids to realize the dream of recovering the forest country.

No one could have imagined how much Marisa, a beautiful female elf, hated the druids, and more than 300 druids in Korqin City, both men and women, were all dragged out into the streets by her, paraded through the streets, and let the elves and dwarves ravage them.

The druids are really hateful, not to mention the mountains of money and food in the warehouse, there are as many as 2,000 female elves who are locked up in the druid's mansion for enjoyment, and it is no wonder that Marissa hates them so much.

With the consent of Sigg and Blue Fairy, Marisa distributed half of the collected military rations and some gold coins to the citizens, even so, the remaining half of the food was enough for Higg's army to eat for more than three months, plus the existing military rations, at that time, it was harvest season again.

This kind of behavior of letting the citizens vent their hatred made the citizens feel more or less good about the expeditionary force, and Maria took the opportunity to recruit soldiers and dwarven craftsmen, at first there were not many participants, but I don't know what method Marisa used, three days later, it was actually recruited more than 2,000 battle dwarves, more than 1,000 elves, and more than 3,000 dwarf craftsmen and miners.

For the safety of the city defense of Korqin City, Hig can be said to have racked his brains, he must make corresponding defenses before the enemy encircles and suppress him, and leave a way back for himself.

The defense of Horqin City is not a passive defense, and while doing a good job in the defense of the city, the defense range will be expanded outward, so as to prevent the enemy from besieging Horqin City.

The first step was to renovate the city defense of Horqin City. Lan Xian'er personally drew a map of the city defense of Horqin City, and renovated the city wall, mainly to extend the city wall outward in the form of tentacles, with a total of more than 9,000 meters on three walls, every 120 meters, perpendicular to the existing city wall and then built a wall of 50 meters outward. The whole map of the city defense is like half a sunflower flower. At the junction of the existing wall and the extended wall, a 10-metre-high arrow tower was erected, which could arrange six archers to shoot arrows from three sides outside the city. According to this city defense map, any enemy attacking the city wall, whether attacking the existing city wall or extending the wall battlements, is attacked by archers or ballistas on three sides, although this also increases the attack surface for the enemy, but even if the wall battlements are lost or smashed, it will not affect the entire city defense system at all, which is equivalent to these eighty wall battlements, as the first city wall. At the same time, it increases the possibility of applying a variety of tactics in defensive warfare. The only drawback is that the project is huge and costs too much.

The second step is to put a part of the most elite troops, led by Corincha and Thomas, into the jungle outside the city, cruising within 30 kilometers of the city, camping in an irregular location, using the surrounding villages as supply points, and using the surrounding villages as supply points, and Horqin City as horns, so that the enemy can be discovered this morning, and the second is that these two sharp swords will always become a threat to the siege troops, restraining the enemy's strength and energy, and interacting with the defending army. Third, at an appropriate time, it can take the initiative to attack, rob the enemy's material and logistics, or disrupt the enemy's deployment.

The third step is to restore the baggage troops, Thomas captures a basically complete baggage army, along with the equipment, these baggage includes ballistas and catapults, as long as Marisa is trained and modified a little, he can go directly into battle. In addition, let the dwarves from the Silent Forest start to build repeater chariots, gradually replacing the existing ones, these repeater chariots will really use the mane of the real mythical beast, and the power is much more powerful than the first generation of repeater chariots in the fortress of Giskol.

The fourth step is to replenish the Phantom Shooter to 3,000 people, and the source of troops can be selected from the existing Elven Marksman, and the Elven Shooter will be replenished by captives and newly recruited recruits. Although the number of Phantom Shooters is small, their status cannot be replaced, and their effective range is comparable to that of ordinary ballistas, but they are more agile and mobile than ballistas, and their firing speed is not comparable to that of ordinary ballistas.

The fifth step is to set up a new unit, the patrol cavalry, that is, Marisa's more than 260 Pegasus, which is mainly responsible for reconnaissance missions around Horqin City and grasping the enemy's information at any time.

"The enemy will not be willing to lose!" Higg said, "The 1st and 3rd Druids will immediately reinforce the 2nd Army, and at the same time, the Druids may activate the national readiness mechanism and recruit soldiers from the Druid forces in various places to encircle and suppress us." But judging by the efficiency of the druid army, it will take at least two or three months to complete the build-up, and during this time we must not be careless, the enemy will definitely send small forces to harass us in order to test our hypocrisy! Mr. Lu Fasi, the city defense will be handed over to you, our hole cards must be left until the end! ”

"But, if this continues, we will still be passive!" Lu Fasi said, "Hold on to the city, even if you can defend it, it is only a small city, should we stay in Horqin City forever and let others attack it?" ”

"Hey, Mr. Lufasi, you're underestimating Benjamin!" Higg laughed, "You think he's only going to rely on me alone?" Marissa has already said that his mother has returned to the Druid Territory to do the work of the lower family forces, and we need to give her a little time. Just because we stick to it doesn't mean we don't attack! Now the druid's military defense system has not been weakened much because of the emptiness of troops, we can only wait here for the enemy to attack, mobilize the enemy to deploy, the enemy will show flaws, even if we are more difficult here, I believe that Benjamin will definitely see the fighter, he will not let go of the opportunity, enter in time, and together with Josephine, form the second expeditionary force camp in the territory of the druid, then, the situation will naturally open! ”

"Eh, let's talk about it, you'd better leave our fate to someone else!" "You don't even know when Benjamin sold you!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll be careful, when he plays is my opponent!"
