After leaving some guards to protect the workers, Xiao Yi hurried back to the City of Heroes with a few guards. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, Edie, who had just received Xiao Yi's order, was very hesitant, and his thoughts were the same as Sharif's, and he did not approve of the expansion of the army. The ratio of soldiers to civilians is already very out of balance, and now the army is still expanding, and the ratio of soldiers is doubling!

The tempered caravan guys were further away than Sharif thought, and the soldiers consumed far more supplies than ordinary lords. If it weren't for finding a small vein of iron ore in the mountains not far from the City of Heroes, there would be no iron weapons in the City of Heroes right now!

Like soldier training, training sentinels requires not only the population, but also other resources! The benefits of a heavily armed soldier are obvious, but not everyone knows about the materials behind each soldier!

This is also Xiao Yi's system, as long as the population is invested in the barracks, and the iron ingots, leather and wood are invested in the blacksmith shop, the trained sentinels are already fully armed, and there is no need for craftsmen to build them separately, otherwise Xiao Yi will not be so easy to expand the army!

"Your Excellency!" Seeing Xiao Yi returning to the City of Heroes from Jane's car, Edie hurriedly greeted him.

Before Edie could speak, Xiao Yi said, "I know the current difficulty, but we are going to war with the gnolls!" So let's get a living space for ourselves first! ”

patting Edie on the shoulder, Xiao Yi did not stop, and hurriedly walked into the castle on the muddy road.

He now needs someone who can help him manage the entire City of Heroes, because of this war, Xiao Yi plans to go out himself, instead of being a mascot in the castle!

Although Edie has been honed for a while and has shown good talent, he is still too young and his experience is still lacking in general. His expertise is more in the statistics and distribution of goods than in administration.

So, Xiao Yi found Barrett, the mage's servant, this balding old man!

Of course, it's not that Barrett's ability surpasses Edie's, but Barrett's cautious personality and his age and experience give him a wealth of insight that Edie doesn't have!

"My lord? Is there anything wrong with you? Barrett, who was tutoring Lori in her homework, asked suspiciously when she saw Xiao Yi, who was covered in mud and had a magic book and a staff hanging from his waist.

was about to touch little Lori's head, but after being disgusted and dodging it, Xiao Yi smiled and took out a handful of wildflowers and handed them to Little Lori and said, "Alice, let my brother talk to Barrett." ”

"Got it! Uncle Xiao Yi! Sticking out her tongue at Xiao Yi, little Lori giggled and ran away.

In the past, Xiao Yi always had ulterior motives and asked little Lori to call herself brother, but the cunning little guy only called uncle every time, which made Xiao Yi scream angrily, and scared her to say: If you catch you, you will be beaten to pieces!

But this time Xiao Yi was in no mood to joke, he said to the old man in the Mediterranean seriously: "Mr. Barrett, the City of Angels is going to war!" ”

"What! Orcs? The old man asked in horror.

"Uh, Gnoll......"

After hearing Xiao Yi's answer, Barrett showed a crying and laughing expression, the creature of the jackals, saying that it was a war with them, really looked down on them, and generally Stormwind City's attack on the gnolls was to describe this kind of war as extermination.

"This time is different, the Western Wastelands are vast and sparsely populated, and the advantages of the gnolls are far from comparable to their relatives in the Elwyn Forest!" Xiao Yi saw that the old man didn't take it seriously, and said solemnly: "I plan to go out in person!" Create a living space for the City of Angels! ”

"Personally?" The old man also became serious, and he persuaded, "It's not long before the chief of the guard leads the troops?" You are the hope of the entire City of Angels, and it's better not to risk it! ”

Xiao Yi shook his head, his gaze was firm, he must personally lead the army this time, because he knew that the City of Heroes would not only face a group of gnolls, but all the gnoll tribes in the entire Western Wilderness!

There is no other snobbery to help contain it, and completely facing a whole clan, to be honest, there is still some pressure, so Xiao Yi plans to strike first after asking Barrett to help deal with some things!

Sweep the surrounding gnolls first, no matter if they have any revenge plots, no matter what other things, first clear the surrounding threats, lest the lair be raided by the enemy when they attack outside.

It's not without precedent, take Sentinel Ridge for example, when they were halfway through the construction of the fort, they were besieged by the Riverpaw Gnolls! At this time, they were fighting the Brotherhood of Defia, and their hasty retreat made the already weak army even weaker.

Xiao Yi didn't want to encounter such a situation, so early the next morning, the army that had been assembled had been assembled. was taken away by Xiao Yi with nine guards, ninety sentinels, and all the mercenaries!

The entire city is only defended by ten sentinels and one squire, oh! There were also a hundred recruits, and it was only a week later that the 21 newly trained guards joined the city defense.

However, fortunately, Xiao Yi did not plan to go deep into the Dust Plains, and this time he only operated near the City of Angels, the main purpose was to ensure that the workers would not be harassed by these guys when they were working.

At the same time, it is also necessary to clear the beast threat between the Death Farmland and the City of Angels, although the City of Heroes has also opened up some farmland, but it will be some time before it is received. Therefore, the food needed by the City of Heroes during this period was transported from the land of death, and I don't know where he got the food.

Less than an hour after the slow march, a mercenary came back and reported: "My lord, there is a camp of gnolls in front, they are only about a hundred in number, and they are the strongest tribe known so far!" ”

Heavily armed sentinels are not suitable for reconnaissance, and it seems a bit too luxurious to use guards to investigate, so Xiao Yi brought all the mercenaries, and they are very familiar with the vicinity of the City of Heroes.

"Sharif! Once you've entered the predetermined battlefield, fight head-on! After getting the news, Xiao Yi said decisively.

He hadn't thought about how to pursue the enemy, the City of Angels lacked mobility at the moment, and it was impossible for the Sentinels to succeed in a sneak attack during the day, so it was better to take advantage of the Templars' strong defense and attract these gnolls to fight head-on!

Sharif nodded, and he issued the order in a loud voice: "Prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

The order was quickly issued, and the sentry guards, who were not very numerous, quickly changed their formation, formed five rows, and raised their large shields and held their spears over their shoulders so that they could be quickly lowered when the enemy charged. The guards were spread on both sides of the phalanx, defending against enemy attacks, although this tactic was a bit difficult for the gnolls.
