After a short rest, Alfred's face returned to blood.

Alfred said respectfully to Meng Chen: "Lord Lord, my subordinates have eased up!" ”

Meng Chen nodded and said, "That's good!" Let's return to the City of Hope at once! ”

"Yes! Your Lord! ”

At this time, Meng Chen and Alfred's location was located in the downstream area of the small river on the east side of the City of Hope.

Walking north along the banks of the small river, after more than half an hour, Meng Chen and Alfred finally returned to the City of Hope safely.

"Whew~!"

Back in the city hall, Meng Chen took a long breath, and the tense heartstrings were completely relaxed.

Lying on the bench, Meng Chen secretly said in his heart: "The lair of the earth dragon has at least one giant earth dragon, as well as hundreds of ordinary earth dragons. Ambushing near the Earth Dragon's lair is a self-defeating road. Passively defending the core city is a chronic suicide. Can you only set up an ambush on the way? ”

Summoning Alfred to the town hall, Meng Chen asked, "It's not a long-term solution to keep expelling the earth dragons, and the number of earth dragons will increase. If you bring twenty three-bow bed crossbows and set up an ambush on the way of the earth dragons, can you leave all the invading earth dragons behind? ”

Alfred thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "The invading earth dragons are different from the earth dragons encountered today, they are very vigilant and alert. Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible to kill them all. ”

"That's going to be a bit tricky!" Meng Chen sighed.

After pondering for a moment, Meng Chen's heart moved, and he ordered: "Alfred, you immediately mobilize soldiers and bed crossbows to build a defensive line in front of the inner city wall (under construction) in the south. ”

"Yes! Your Lord! Alfred responded.

When Alfred was building a defensive line, Meng Chen came to the front of the defensive line and laid traps one after another.

Due to the abundance of gold coins at present, the trap arranged by Meng Chen was not a wooden thorn trap, but an iron drill trap.

In fact, the iron drill trap is very similar to the wooden spike trap, the difference is that the pit of the iron drill trap is slightly larger, and the wooden thorn inside is replaced by iron tongs.

Each Iron Trap, which covers an area of four meters, costs 2 gold coins and 1 metal (gray) and takes half an hour to build.

"For the time being, we can only make these preparations and wait for the next Earth Dragon Invasion!" Meng Chen muttered.

The day after the giant Earth Dragon was discovered, six yellow spots of light appeared on the southern edge of the map.

These six yellow points of light are slowly moving northward at this moment, and it is expected that in less than half an hour, they will enter the warning range of the City of Hope.

Alfred asked Meng Chen for instructions, "Lord Lord, what should we do?" ”

Meng Chen was silent for a moment and said, "Let them enter the warning range, you go to the inner city wall defense line to guard and prevent these six earth dragons from attacking the core city!" ”

Alfred said with a shocked expression, "My lord, it's too dangerous to do this! ”

Meng Chen said in a deep voice: "I want to take advantage of this opportunity to find out the reason for the Earth Dragon's invasion to the north. ”

Alfred nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes!" Your Lord! ”

In fact, Meng Chen also knew that it was a very risky move to let the six-headed earth dragon enter the warning range.

Once the defense line does not stop the six earth dragons and let the earth dragons rush into the core city and wreak havoc, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

After Alfred left, Meng Chen stared at the map and monitored the movements of the six yellow light spots.

Twenty minutes later, six yellow dots of light entered the alert range.

Thirty minutes later, the six yellow points of light were still moving forward, and beads of sweat appeared on Meng Chen's forehead.

Fifty minutes later, six yellow dots of light entered the city limits, 2 kilometers from the town hall and 1.8 kilometers from the inner city wall.

Meng Chen swallowed his saliva, and said with apprehension in his heart: "It's still moving forward, could it be that these six earth dragons are coming to the City of Hope?" It shouldn't be! ”

An hour later, the six yellow points of light were less than 1 kilometer away from the inner wall defense.

At this moment, the beads of sweat on Meng Chen's forehead slipped down drop by drop, and his heartstrings were already tense to the limit.

Just when Meng Chen was almost desperate and ready to meet the onslaught of the six-headed earth dragon, the six yellow points of light suddenly changed direction and slowly moved towards the northeast.

"Changed direction!"

Meng Chen's spirits perked up, staring at the direction of movement of the six yellow points of light, and then ...... Pale face!

Following the current direction of movement of the six yellow dots, the final target location appears to point to the plantation in the City of Hope.

At this time, a total of two hundred farmers were working in the twenty plantations in the City of Hope, which was why Meng Chen's face turned pale.

Meng Chen quickly rushed out of the city hall and gave an order to all the citizens around the City of Hope to assemble urgently.

Subsequently, Meng Chen ordered Alfred to immediately bring ten three-bow bed crossbows and go to the east of the core city to set up a defensive line.

For a while, the farmers, coachmen, and lumberjacks around the City of Hope gathered at the city hall one after another.

After receiving Meng Chen's order, Alfred immediately led 30 elite swordsmen, 30 elite archers, and ten three-bow bed crossbows to the east of the core city.

Back at the city hall, Meng Chen scolded, "Damn! The grain from the first plantation is less than a month away from being harvested, so why did the Earth Dragon choose to invade at this time? Could it be that Dilong, who doesn't like meat, likes to be a vegetarian? ”

When Meng Chen looked at the map again, he found that the movement of the six yellow light points was not a straight line but a curve.

These six yellow points of light, separated by less than 500 meters, brushed past the core city and plantations, and came to the small river east of the City of Hope.

"Holy! Are these six earth dragons teasing me? Meng Chen scolded again.

Although he was scolding on the surface, the tight string in Meng Chen's heart was slightly relaxed.

After all, Meng Chen didn't want to cause the destruction of twenty plantations that were about to harvest because of a single temptation.

When the six yellow points of light reached the river, they did not continue to move, but stayed on the riverbank for a long time.

"That area seems to be a sandy area, what are these six earth dragons doing there?" Meng Chen decided to take a look for himself.

Leaving the city hall, Meng Chen walked towards the east of the core city.

At this moment, Alfred is urgently arranging the defensive line.

Meng Chen said to Alfred: "Alfred! Instead of heading to the plantation, the dragon turned to the east on the banks of the creek. Come with me to the banks of the river, and I want to see with my own eyes what these earth dragons are up to! ”

Alfred looked stunned for a moment, and responded, "Yes!" Your Lord! ”

Due to the proximity of the Xiaohe River to the core city, Meng Chen did not bring other soldiers, only him and Alfred.

A quarter of an hour later, Meng Chen and Alfred quietly came to the location of the six-headed earth dragon.
