Chapter 357: Building a Line of Defense

The depths of the dragon's lair were dimly lit, and even though they were lit by torches, they couldn't help but look eerie.

The beating light of the fire shone on the slimy dragon egg, indescribably weird.

Xiaoxue was bending down to examine the dragon eggs, her delicate fingers shining with green light, and it was not disgusting to touch the yellow slime.

Dafeng also ran in with Yang Hao, looked at the eggs on the ground and said, "I'll go, why are you so like a alien egg?!" ”

Yang Hao ignored him, walked to Xiaoxue's side and said, "What did you find?" ”

"I visually inspected about 150 to 200 eggs, examined 37, most of them were dead eggs, and only one was alive at the moment." Since Xiaoxue delved into natural witchcraft, she is no longer the little girl who was afraid of animal corpses.

"The proportion is quite normal, after all, it is the blood of a dragon, and it is really unreasonable to give birth to a bunch of them in a lifetime."

"Well, these dead eggs should be the first meal for the born baby dragon, the eggs are very thick, and the freshness is very good. I suggest we leave it as it is, keep the poisonous fire dragons here, and wait for them to hatch naturally, and we should be able to get 4~6 baby dragons by then. ”

"Okay, I'll send a few NPCs to guard here later, let's go down the mountain first, Lin Tian and they should have already arrived."

On the way down the mountain, Dafeng asked with a smile: "Brother Hao, do you want to raise a dragon?" ”

"No, I have Voliber Bell and Eugene now, both of them are big foodies, and I can't afford to raise another dragon, and I don't have that much spare time."

After all, the Poisonous Fire Dragon was not a real dragon, at best, it was only the level of the Bipedal Wyvern King, and the energy and resources required to cultivate it to adulthood were terrifyingly high.

Volibel has a good relationship with him, and the shackles of growth have been broken, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to the apprentice level, except that the name is not as good as the poisonous fire dragon.

"Brother Hao, you must give me a share, I want to be a dragon knight!" Gale's aggrieved eyes made Yang Hao extremely cold, so he had to shirk and say that he would hold a meeting to decide, and he would be given priority.

At the foot of the mountain, large areas of forest have long been cut down, and piles of timber are stacked in an orderly manner, and if the system had not brushed them off, the number would have doubled compared to now.

These trees were cut down by Yang Hao before the system announcement was issued, because it was still wild at that time, so the fallen wood would be refreshed in a few days.

In the wizarding world, players in the wild cannot build any production and living buildings, and can only collect and drill caves inefficiently.

For example, if the player finds an open-pit ore vein in the wild, he cannot build a special mine, but can only mine it by himself.

The base established by Datang and Tianpeng in the ancient Horseshoe Mountain is a special situation, the Giant's Cave at that time was systematically defined as a copy, and the surrounding area was defined as a temporary security zone.

"Brother Hao, it's all ready, it's time to order." Lin Tianzheng arranged for the people to unload the stones, and when he saw Yang Hao coming, he immediately reported.

Yang Hao nodded, applied to the system for the task of territorial construction, and divided the three peaks and a large area of land at the foot of the mountain into the territorial range.

"Ding, your application is eligible, approved, Epic Mission: Road to Nobility, open!

Note: You have chosen the small town difficulty, the first wave of beasts will arrive in three days, please be careful! ”

Territories are divided into three levels: village, town, and city levels, which are also subdivided into small, medium, and large.

The higher the level, the greater the scope of the territory, but this is not something that can be applied for.

First of all, only the leaders of the factions are eligible to apply; The NPC population will then determine the level of the province construction.

Yang Hao has more than 1,000 refugees and 500 NPC mercenaries (300 guards are not counted), and he only needs a 1,000 population to apply for the construction of a small town, which is more than enough.

When the mission is established, the area demarcated by Yang Hao will immediately become a temporary safe zone, and as long as he can hold it in the beast tide, this area will become a permanent safe zone.

The initial construction work had already been planned, and Yang Hao planned to enclose a square with a side length of one kilometer at the foot of the mountain and place the lord's hall in the center.

After this is completed, the actual area of the town is one square kilometer, which is definitely enough for more than a thousand civilians. The smaller the area, the less effort the wolf can defend.

Gale led three slave traders to drive away the goblin slaves, and began to dig the foundations of the city wall in full swing, all of them were strong and strong, and in terms of efficiency, one was comparable to three mercenaries.

The captain of the Homi Family Guard said that they were warriors and would not do such hard work.

Very good, very strong reason.

It just so happened that Yang Hao didn't want them to help, the planned city wall will be six meters high, three meters wide at the bottom, and two meters wide at the top, and the foundation will be dug at least two meters deep and three meters wide. Three days is estimated to be enough time to complete the foundation, so they will have no walls to defend against when facing the first wave of beasts.

Yang Hao told the captain of the escort army that since they were soldiers, they should be on the front line, and now let them go to the periphery to arrange the defense line, do whatever they want, and not be afraid of death.

The captain of the guard had nothing to say, and digging fortifications was also the duty of a warrior, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it for the sake of the lives of his brothers.

The main body of the outer defense line is composed of pointed wooden rows, which are 100 meters away from the construction site of the city wall.

The structure of the pointed log is very simple, just arrange the sharpened thinner logs in a row, lean on a thicker log, place another log on top, clamp the pointed wood, and repeat this three times.

In this way, the pointed wood leaning against the bottom of the log will form a triangle with the ground, which is very stable.

Yang Hao did not want to build a wall made of sharp wooden rows, but set aside a ten-meter vacancy every thirty meters or so, and arranged the heavy armored warriors of the guard army to defend against the impact of the beast tide at the vacancy, and arranged the spearmen of the mercenary group behind the sharp wooden row to defend against the beasts and monsters who dared to climb over the sharp wooden rows.

The pointed wooden row looks bluffing, but it is actually made of ordinary wood, and if it does not leave a gap, it will fall apart after being attacked by a powerful monster a few times.

But as long as there is a gap, it is the instinct of the beasts to seek advantage and avoid harm, and they will attack the warrior at the gap with all their might.

This can only deceive the first two brainless beasts, and the city wall must be half built before the third wave of beasts arrives!

Behind the pointed wooden rows, arrow towers will also be built for players to cast sorcery, as well as for the NPC's archers.

Because of the square area chosen by Yang Hao, the north side was completely blocked by the three peaks, and the east and west sides were also half blocked, so the main direction of the beast tide attack would be the south side of Yima Pingchuan.

Yang Hao placed most of his troops here, and various fortifications were also prioritized.
