Time passed slowly, and the dwellings that were sufficient for all the refugees had been completed, the entire valley had been occupied by dense wooden houses, the garrison camps had been built, and a large number of lords were now in full swing to build wooden walls. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lumberjacks use saws and axes to knock down huge trees, and when the branches are removed, a large number of middle-aged refugees rush up, armed with a variety of tools, skillfully cutting the tree into timber suitable for the city walls.

Then they were all neatly stacked, waiting for the arrival of the workers who carried the wood. Their enthusiasm was high, because the moat, rammed earth and wood wall, once completed, would completely enclose their gathering place, forming a small but strong protective ring.

The moat, which was not wide, had been almost dug up, and the excavated earth was used in the construction of the city walls, but it was not enough! The rammed earth walls also needed a lot of earth, so some refugees were sent to the Dust Plains, not far from the City of Angels, to collect high-quality clay that was more suitable for building walls.

Suddenly, a mercenary in leather armor and carrying a large sword arrived from outside the city, and when he came to the castle, he was stopped by the guards who were guarding the castle.

"The clay collection site has been attacked, and I want to report it to my lords!" The mercenary said as he panted with his hands on his knees.

After hearing the mercenary's words, the sentry guard gave way to the city gate and signaled that the mercenary could enter.

Since the garrison battalion was built and the first batch of seven militiamen were transformed into sentinels, Xiao Yi ordered that mercenaries and ordinary militiamen could enter the castle at will, and now that there were more than a hundred sentinels, even the militia team was lifted.

Sentinels, the core class of the Templar of Heroes, are equipped with brown iron-clad armor, iron-covered helmets, iron handguards and knee pads, and elaborate iron-encrusted boots. The weapons are a spear covered with iron except for the handshake part, and a huge shield inlaid with iron throughout the body!

By all accounts, these soldiers are elite armed to the teeth! Compared with the mercenaries in miscellaneous leather armor, I don't know how many times more regular! Although one-on-one soldiers who only know simple martial arts skills still can't defeat the mercenaries, if it is a confrontation with more than 20 people, the sentinels can crush twice as many mercenaries as themselves!

This is the nature of the Templar class: Master of Defense – Heavy armies are extremely defensive on the battlefield, and legend has it that they are extremely adept at drawing enemies to fight on the battlefield of their choice, and winning by resisting their opponents in a war of attrition and retaining their armies.

That's why, even the most basic Sentinels are heavily armed, even though in the version of Heroes of Might and Magic 7, creatures are divided into core and elite creatures.

But what is the core? The core refers to a large number of formed troops that can face the enemy head-on, and all tactics are carried out around this core! So if you don't like it, the core creatures are low-level troops, cannon fodder troops!

This is still a junior soldier, and when the Sentinel is upgraded and becomes a Legion Guard, they will be equipped with a combination of chain mail and plate armor to further strengthen their defense!

Of course, this is only their regular promotion route, and some sentinels will choose weapons that are more suitable for them to advance in the later stage, such as the Euphorbia who is good at using powerful halberds as weapons. There are also crusaders who use dragon slaying as an advanced assessment!

But no matter how they advance, they all use a common trait! That's all armed!

Today's castle has been completely taken over by the Sentinel Legion, and although there are only a hundred people, it is enough to fill this small castle. The mercenaries, who had been approved, went straight ahead, rather coveting the equipment on the soldiers.

Following the more elite guards, the mercenary came to Xiao Yi's office. Since he had an office, Xiao Yi has become an otaku, although there are not many things to deal with every day, but he still rarely goes out of the castle, at most he accompanies Little Lori and Barrett to drink tea and bask in the sun on the rooftop.

"My lord! The clay site is under attack! The guard pushed open the door and walked in with the mercenary.

Xiao Yi did not work at his desk, but stood in front of the window and looked into the distance. This office is the tallest building in the entire castle except for the arrow tower, and from here you can see the operation of the entire Angel City, so Xiao Yi likes to stand here and look out when he is fine.

"What happened?" Xiao Yi turned around and asked.

The guard nodded to the mercenary.

"My lord, the workers and guards of a clay pit have completely disappeared, and we have only found some blood!" After a long journey, they climbed to the very top of the castle, which made the mercenaries dry and out of breath.

Xiao Yi poured a glass of wine, it was still the stock seized from Jason's farm, he handed it to the mercenary and said, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

"Thank you, sir!" The mercenaries were flattered and took the wine, although Xiao Yi was usually very kind and tolerant to his subordinates, but these mercenaries would always feel that he was unattainable.

After taking a sip of wine, the mercenary wiped the wine stuck to his beard and said, "It's a mine near the mountains, because it's not big, so there are only thirteen workers working, and Don is in charge of safety." This morning, Regiment Commander Ratcliffe patrolled here and found that all the people had disappeared! Including Don't! ”

The mercenary exclaimed, "We only found some blood and traces of a fight there, but very little. Commander Ratcliffe judged that this time the battle was not fierce, and the enemy was likely to sneak up on them! ”

"But strangely, we didn't find any signs of the enemy's activities, so the regimental commander asked me to come back and report to the adults and ask for reinforcements."

Requesting support? Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does Regiment Leader Ratcliffe know who the enemy is?" ”

"Yes, my lord!" The mercenary affirmed: "The Wild Boar and Fish Scale Mercenary Group has been stationed here for two years, and no creature in the Dust Plains can do this except for the Gnolls!" ”

"Gnolls?" Xiao Yi thought about it, the jackals have been restless, and since the castle appeared, they have come here every once in a while to attack, which is why Xiao Yi hired mercenaries to help guard the people.

However, the strength of these gnolls was not strong, and the guards and mercenaries easily repelled them. After the garrison camp was completed, Xiao Yi also asked the guards to lead the guards to destroy the gnoll tribe closest to the City of Angels, a move that made the City of Heroes not attacked by the gnolls for a long time.

Is it revenge? Xiao Yi thought that he must know that later, the attitude of the Riverpaw Gnolls in the Western Wilderness towards the Brotherhood of Defia and Sentinel Ridge was very hostile, and there was no reason for the Angel City, which was the same human race with these two forces, to be treated differently.

"Sharif!" Xiao Yi shouted: "I want to go to the attacked mine to see it in person, and I will set off immediately!" ”
