Chapter Seventy-Two: Prelude
At the front of the line, a strong tiger man was talking to a middle-aged man.
"Second brother, I heard that the lord here is a young minotaur, why does the eldest brother have to get along with the minotaur, it can't be that there is any treasure in this territory, right?" The tiger man asked curiously.
"It doesn't matter who he is, it has nothing to do with us." The middle-aged human said indifferently, "However, I guess he will be dead soon." ”
"You mean, the eldest brother is going to kill him?" The strong tiger man turned his head and said.
"Eight or nine are not far from ten, I passed by my eldest brother's room a few days ago, and I vaguely seemed to hear that my eldest brother was discussing things with someone, saying that he was killing some lord, I guess it should be this Minotaur." The middle-aged man said in a low voice.
"Second brother, this killing the lord is a serious crime, and he is also a bull-headed man, I am afraid that there will be big trouble if I kill him." The tiger man was a little worried.
"Big brother, he is a smart man, and he must have thought of a way out." The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "I just don't know what the big brother is planning this time." ”
"Yes, the eldest brother is really getting more and more incomprehensible."
The tiger man shook his head.
Neither of them noticed that while they were talking, a transparent bug was floating in the air.
There were thousands of Void Floaters summoned last time, and a few days ago, Baal had dispersed them around the territory, and as long as the Void Floater Mother was around, he could keep receiving feedback messages.
Moreover, the Void Float will also automatically distinguish various dangerous situations and issue alarms.
"Hehe, it looks like a guest is coming to the door." A cold glint flashed in Barr's eyes.
Although I don't know what kind of feud the eldest brother mentioned by the two people has with him, since the other party wants his life, then Barr naturally has to turn these people into corpses first.
......
The silence of the night was shattered by the sound of a loud trumpet.
"Emergency Assembler, what's wrong?"
Radin the boar man was awakened by the sound of a horn outside, an order for the village guards to assemble urgently, and only sounded when there was a combat operation, and although he was not a member of the guard, he also got up and got dressed at this time.
"Do you know what's going on?"
"I don't know."
By the time Latin came out, there were already a lot of villagers gathered outside, and everyone didn't understand what was going on for a while, and they were chattering and discussing.
Latin thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards the council chamber.
......
"Second child, wake up quickly."
"Emergency Assemble Order!"
In the barracks, the soldiers who were still asleep heard the sound of the trumpet, got up tightly, quickly put on their equipment, and assembled in the direction of the training ground.
"Team 1 assembled!"
"Team 2 is ready!"
"MN-5 tactical armored units on standby."
......
In the chamber, the crowd was discussing the current situation.
Barr cleared his throat and said, "There are about a thousand bandits who have come this time, most of them are around 40, and in addition, there are about 100 advanced professions, all of whom are in their early 50s, and there are two rare elites among them. ”
"What do you think?"
After hearing this, everyone's expressions were relieved.
"I think these bandits are hitting stones with eggs."
Lilith said lightly, "With our current strength, not to mention the defense of the city, even if it is a field battle outside, we can completely annihilate them in half an hour at most." ”
Hailan Village is no longer what it used to be.
Recently, the funds in the territory are very sufficient, and Baal has continuously recruited forty third-order elite secret mages, these are all elite-level advanced soldiers, plus other troops and a large number of guards, the strength is not weak.
In particular, there are also a large number of rare elites among the guards.
After the market was upgraded, Barr acquired a lot of weapons and equipment blueprints, and in this time, everyone has been upgraded to level 37, and the strength of the guards has also been greatly enhanced.
There are thousands of thieves, and there is nothing to worry about.
"What the captain said is right, these little thieves dare to beat our idea, I really don't know whether to live or die." The minotaur echoed.
"My lord, I think this is a little strange."
John frowned slightly, and said: "The orc empire is prestigious, even if these bandits don't know our strength, they don't know that this is the territory of the empire, where did they come from, and they dare to attack the territory of the empire." ”
"It's kind of weird."
"Is it because they have an enmity with us?"
The crowd also felt that there was some truth in John's words, but some did not understand the purpose of the group.
"Well, I also think that the purpose of these people is not pure." Barr nodded, "I heard them talk about it, it seems to be related to their leader, but it's a little strange that this person didn't show up in the group. ”
The situation is unclear now, and everyone is confused, but the most important thing at the moment is to defeat the attacking enemy.
"Lilith, you immediately arrange for men to set up the walls of the city. The most important place is the entrance of the village, now we don't have an energy shield, the defense of the gate is too weak, it is easy to be broken through by siege equipment, send more manpower. Barr commanded.
"In addition, the dock is the weak point of our defense, you arrange a team to ambush on the cliff to prevent them from sneaking up on the dock, the number of people is not too large, you can stick to our side to support." Barrien.
"Be careful to conceal and not let the enemy discover that we are prepared."
"Yes." Lilith replied.
"John." Barr continued, "You go and reassure the villagers outside, tell them not to panic, and stay home as usual." ”
After the discussion was over, each of them was ordered to leave.
......
Backyard.
Baal awakens the Black Ghost from its dormant state.
"What's the matter, boy, what's the trouble again?" The black ghost opened its scarlet eyes.
"It's not much of a problem."
Listening to Barr finish explaining the situation, the black ghost said indifferently: "Just a few little thieves, do you still need Uncle Ben to take action, those people under your command can be sent away casually." ”
Barr frowned
"It's no problem to deal with these bandits, but I feel like things shouldn't be that simple."
"Oh, isn't it easy?" The Black Ghost wondered.
"The situation is not yet clear, and it is difficult to say right now."
Baal took out a few magic crystals and handed them to the Black Ghost, "Well, be prepared. ”
Back in the council chamber, Barr continued to monitor the bandits' every move through the Void Float.
Now all the Void Floaters have gathered within a hundred kilometers of the territory, and the wind and grass in this area cannot escape his eyes.
The bandit team, led by the two leaders, quickly advanced in the direction of Hailan Village.
Although this gang of bandits does not have mounts, they are extremely fast, and it seems that someone in the team should have the group acceleration skill.
......
At five o'clock in the morning, it was still dark.
This team of thousands of bandits is already less than a kilometer away from Hailan Village.
In a depression not far from the east side of Hailan Village, a black-clothed and masked figure suddenly flashed, and the black-clothed man stared at the city wall not far away, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
At the same time as the man in black appeared, in mid-air not far away, a transparent insect floated over.
"Finally found you." Barr opened his eyes.
......
On the south side of the territory, next to Mermaid Bay.
The strong man of the tiger man took out a map from his backpack, looked at the places marked on the map, and said, "Second brother, the big brother should let us attack the dock in the west, can we do it now?" ”
"Be cautious, probe the situation first, don't fall into an ambush." The middle-aged man said.
The tiger man pouted, "Second brother, he was really too careful, their group only set off at night, and the news of the operation was also notified to everyone after departure, how could it be discovered in advance." ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and a thin human youth ran behind him.
"Two masters."
"You go to the front and take a look, be smart, don't let people find out." The middle-aged man pointed to the dockyard not far away.
"Yes."
The thin young man instantly entered a state of stealth, and his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
It didn't take long for the young man to return, "Second master, everything is normal ahead." ”
"Well, get ready to do it."
The bandits received the order and quickly moved into action.
The dozens of thieves in the back took out some large and small parts from their backpacks and put them on the open space in front of them, and after a while, the three strange-looking machines were successfully assembled.
Below is a square platform with iron wheels underneath and a throwing rod on top.
It looks like a small catapult.
"The little ones, all take out the momentum for me, the thing is done, go back to the big boss and get a reward!" The tiger man shouted, and the bandits behind him lit torches and roared forward.
Their mission this time is not to attack the territory, but to lure out the guards in the territory, and the bigger the momentum, the better.
Three or two small catapults also began to move forward under the impetus of several bandits.
