241 Encounter

Autumn Leaf Castle.

"What does this Stone Tower City mean? Thirteen cities sent messages asking for help overnight? ”

The most ridiculous thing is that even the city of Saganis has sent a message asking for help.

It's stupid, isn't it?

The defense of Saganis City, unless there is another dragon attack, it is impossible to take it down!

Eugene was also very helpless, it turned out that he was just holding the idea of having something to do, so he sent a message to Stone Tower City asking for help. Originally, he only wanted to knock on the subsidy fee, but he didn't expect that Bartlet really sent a message asking for help to the command of the Far Eastern Army.

"It seems that our Governor feels too much pressure and wants to pull us as substitutes!" Ios could see at a glance what Bartlet's was up to.

But Harold used an upright conspiracy, and he couldn't find fault anywhere.

As the governor of the Far East, he naturally had reason to ask for help from the Far Eastern Army, not to mention that he also had letters of help from the lords of various cities and the heads of their families.

"What now?"

It is absolutely impossible to disperse the Far Eastern Army to defend in various cities as requested by Shita City.

Regardless of whether the strategy of dividing troops and defending will be effective, such a long march alone is enough to collapse the Far Eastern Army.

This is not the peaceful time of the past, they must be highly nervous when they are attacked by beasts at any time, coupled with such an intense march, Morey is really worried about what will happen.

"Since we can't divide our troops, we have to take the initiative!"

Shita City is shirking its responsibilities, so the Far Eastern Army can only take the initiative to attack and break up the large group of beasts.

Field?

Thinking that the military formation assembled by the Far Eastern Army would encounter all kinds of fierce beasts rushing from all directions, Morey couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

However, thinking of the simple and kind people in Red Leaf City who silently supported his territory, his expression gradually became firm.

Although the high walls of Red Leaf City are not the attack of the beast tide for the time being, once the real beast tide swallows all the cities around Red Leaf City, then Red Leaf City will face the collective attack of the beast herd.

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists and slammed the table.

"It's done!"

......

"Repeating crossbows, 100 bodies."

"10,000 crossbow arrows of various colors."

"500 pieces of hammer-forged plate armor."

"200 hand-cranked winders."

“......”

Gode is counting the shipments from the Murray Park.

Even today, when the beast tide is raging, the flights of Momiji City-Muli Park, which is a busy flight transportation route, have not stopped running for a day.

Fortunately, with the help of this flight route, the Murry Park was able to defend against the onslaught of the beasts (passing beasts) with the help of the Red Leaf City City Guards, and Red Leaf City also continuously obtained the latest weapons and equipment from the Murry Park.

For example, the repeating crossbow and the matching crossbow arrows sent over this time are classic weapons that have only recently been imitated in the park.

It's just that driven by the steam engine, these weapons, which could only be slowly hammered by hand in the past, can be made in batches.

There are already twenty-five steam engines in the Murry Park, and with only half of the output, the equipment support for Red Leaf City and the Far Eastern Army has been completed, and the remaining steam engines are still pushing forward the research progress of those hot sand goblins project without stopping.

Because of the beasts to be dealt with this time, the park specially sent armor-piercing arrows to deal with beasts with thick skin and armor, incendiary arrows to deal with large and small beast groups, and strong acid arrows to deal with some special creatures.

Except for the special pottery arrows used for the strong acid arrows, which need to be carefully preserved, the rest of the magic arrows are all tied up in a pile and placed in the warehouse.

The hand-cranked winder minimizes the amount of effort required by the warrior to wind the string, allowing them to fire more arrows.

In fact, this kind of winding device is used by both humans and animals, which can be pushed by manpower or wounded by animal power, which is more useful in city defense.

It is equivalent to freeing the hands of fighters, they only need to aim.

Even when the war is at its most anxious, you can mobilize women and children to go up to the city wall and fight to the death.

The repeating crossbow combined with the winder already had the rudiments of a musket, which greatly lowered the threshold of war, which was also one of the reasons why Morey had the confidence to defend against the tide of beasts.

......

Tress only waited outside Momiji Castle for a day before he found out that Morey had left Momiji Castle with his army.

Based on the speed and route of Morey's army, he judged that in just half a day, the first wave of beasts pulled by his subordinates would encounter the army of Momiji City.

"Hehe, wait for you to die!"

Seeing that the biggest target of this trip was about to lose his life, Tress couldn't help laughing.

As for the 1,000-strong city guards, Tress' eyesight was simply the same as nothing.

If all of them were saber guards, they would be a little jealous, but these city guards, hehe, then forget it!

At noon, the city guards, who had been marching for half a day, began to cook in pots, and Morey also took this opportunity to explain the plan of this march in detail to everyone.

"Johnson, tell us about our plans!"

"Yes, sir!"

"First of all, our mission this time is to maximize the elimination of the large groups of beasts in the beast tide, grasp the big and let go of the small, and concentrate the troops."

"Except for a brigade of 1,000 people left behind as a left-behind team to guard the Far Eastern Army camp, the rest of the Far Eastern Army will assemble at full speed to our department!"

"And in this first battle, our target is this herd of beasts gathered in the valley."

Johnson took his command whip and lit a sign representing the valley in the northwest direction of Momiji Castle.

"There are more than 100,000 beasts of all kinds here, and because there is a water source and shelter from the wind, it has become a gathering point for fierce beasts."

"If we hold the mouth of the valley, we can bury all these beasts here."

Everyone nodded when they heard this, dealing with those beasts without wisdom, as long as they set up an ambush at the commanding heights, it was no easier than opening a net to fish.

"My lord, Elder Olsen is here!"

The crowd who was discussing in the big tent suddenly stopped.

"It's just in time, please!"

Morey's face was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that he had only notified the Yagesha Town side for half a day, and the elder had already arrived.

He had expected the elder to arrive when the army was assembled in the valley.

"Lord Morey!"

Olsen lifted the curtain and made his way to the tent, followed by the former Ranger Commander, now Captain of the Guards of the Town of Argesha, Gillim.

"Elder has worked hard!"

Morey enthusiastically stepped forward and shook Olsen's hand.

This risky attack, Morey withstood a lot of pressure, if he could obtain the [Ancestral Spirit Staff], which could be used in a real way, then he could greatly reduce the damage when encountering the beasts, and even let them kill each other.

It's just the energy of this Ancestral Spirit Staff......

Seeing Morey involuntarily look at his waist, Olsen naturally knew what Morey was worried about.

"My lord, don't worry, after the last batch of Dongwei people were executed, this staff has been stored, and there is no problem at all if you use it two or three more times." Olsen took advantage of the opportunity to bow and bow, and stepped forward and whispered to Morey.

"That's good, that's good!"

Morey was overjoyed when he heard this, and pulled Olsen to press him into a chair.

Everyone had also seen the [Ancestral Spirit Staff] method, so they naturally knew what Morey had invited this half-elf elder here for.

Therefore, he was also very polite to Olsen, and the atmosphere in the whole tent was happy, until a city guard soldier suddenly broke into the tent.

"Report! A large herd of beasts has been spotted ahead, charging towards us! ”
