Chapter 17 The Storm is Coming
After feeling the stormy atmosphere on the island, Shi Jinshui couldn't continue to hold the relaxed attitude he had before, he immediately called Rowan over and asked him to gather all the young men among those slaves, distribute weapons and armor, and conduct emergency training. www.biquge.infoFortunately, these slaves have carried out some elementary military training in peacetime, and now as long as they temporarily strengthen their training, they can also have a certain combat power on the battlefield as long as they issue a heavy crossbow or repeater.
He also mobilized the refugees who had gathered at the port and told them to start building a wall near the port as he had ordered.
"Your lord, your wall is too short! With such a small city wall, how can you defend against the enemy? After seeing Shi Jinshui's city wall design on the side, Ao Bama couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
It's no wonder that Ao Bama is puzzled, because Shi Jinshui's wall is only less than a hundred meters wide, but the entire port just encloses it, and after extending dozens of meters outward on both sides, it forms a strange U-shape. How stupid does this enemy have to be to crash into such a small wall! That's why Ohama said that the walls couldn't defend against the enemy.
"Huh! This is just one part of my defenses, and when I have the other one in place, this section of the wall will become an impassable moat for the enemy! As Shi Jinshui spoke, he raised his head and looked at the sea in front of him.
Ohama followed his line of sight and saw several triremes of battleships, which were throwing boulders from their ships into the sea. Seeing this scene, Ao Bama couldn't help but be anxious, and he persuaded Shi Jinshui: "My lord, tell them to stop!" With so many stones thrown down, isn't it impossible for our warship to drive back? ”
Indeed, as Obama said, the sea in those places is not too deep, only a few meters or so, after these big stones are thrown into the sea, it is easy to be hit by those warships that come and go, and the current battleships are all wooden, but if you can't knock these big stones, it will definitely be the end of the ship's destruction and death!
"That's right, our warships can't be opened, so won't the enemy's warships be able to open at that time! And I'll leave a passage in the end, so our warships can come back along this safe passage at that time, and as for the enemy's ・・・・・, hehe... ”
"My lord! I see, the end of this passage is in front of the city wall we are building now, and your hand is really clever! When the time comes, if the enemy wants to capture our Crescent Island, he knows that it is a trap, and he will have to obediently drill into it! It seems to me that you have once again led us to a brilliant victory. ”
"Don't say it so loudly, if there are enemy spies among those refugees, it will be bad!" Shi Jinshui spoke, and secretly glanced at the group of refugees who were working, in his opinion, those few who had been shouting loudly that the barbarian king who killed the country was invincible or something, and the guys who were promoting pessimism in the crowd were probably spies sent by the enemy, so when Habak asked him if he wanted to help these refugees, he didn't directly agree. We haven't figured it out yet! He was really stupid to give these guys the food they had so hard to get, and he was extremely distrustful of these refugees, and after the city wall was built, he was going to take care of these guys, lest when the enemy really came, these guys would play tricks on themselves in the rear.
Because of the cement such a building weapon, so it only took a short week, the city wall was built most of the time, in Shi Jinshui's plan, the city wall was to be built to more than six meters high, and now it has been built to more than three meters high, he believes that as long as he is given another week, it can be completely completed.
"My lord, Marshal Habak is back!" On this day, when Shi Jinshui and Obama came to the construction site to inspect the progress, Obama suddenly pointed to the sea in the distance and said.
"Hmmm! I see it! Shi Jinshui frowned and replied, the reason why he had this expression was because in that fleet, in addition to his own warships, there were a few more warships that were obviously from other factions, and the speed at which Harbuck came back was too fast, it was only a week! How can this be investigated clearly!
At this time, the sea around Crescent Island has been covered with boulders, and these artificial reefs are the first line of defense of this small island, in order to prevent his own warships from being accidentally injured by these stones, so Shi Jinshui quickly sent a triremittive warship to meet Habak and them, and led them into the port from that safe channel.
"Habak, what's going on with these boats behind you? Didn't I tell you to go and inquire about it? How did you bring me such a bunch of guys? At the port, Shi Jinshui pointed to the big men who were getting off the boat.
It's really right to say that these guys are big shots, under the introduction of Habak, on top of the small three warships, there are actually seven faction leaders on board, and the rest are not the heirs of the faction but also the real power in the family, but these faction leaders are a bit miserable now, most of them have only one or two hundred people left, and some of them have only a few dozen guards left.
"Your Crown, Your Lord!" Before Habak could answer, Obama rushed to deliver Shi Jinshui's crown.
After hurriedly putting on the wooden crown that had faded a little, Shi Jinshui couldn't wait for Harbuck's answer, because the gang of big people had already walked towards him, so he could only squeeze out a smile on his face and greet him.
"Oops! What kind of wind is blowing today? And they have blown the House of Julius of Rome, Greece, Macedonia, Thrace, Gaul, Spain, and Scythia all together on my island! ”
"You are the owner of this Crescent Island, King Shi Jinshui! Speaking of which, we really want to thank your navy for your help this time! If it weren't for the help of your fleet, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to get rid of the country-killing pursuers! Seeing Shi Jinshui coming up, an old Greek man in a robe immediately stood up as a representative and had a conversation with Shi Jinshui, and his attitude was quite polite. If it was before, these bigwigs would never have bothered to talk to the leaders of such small factions in person, but who said that they have been reduced to this situation now! The total strength of the seven factions is not as much as in the hands of Shi Jinshui alone, and this attitude will not be able to be lowered!
"My lord, don't listen to their nonsense, how can I want to help them, as soon as they saw our fleet, they immediately became entangled, causing us to be targeted by the people who killed the country, if it weren't for the strength of our fleet, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back to see you." After hearing the words of the old Greek man, Habak was afraid that Shi Jinshui would misunderstand, so he hurriedly whispered in his ear.
"That's it! Say no more, I know you're not that retarded! After Shi Jinshui glanced at this mouthy guy, he turned his head to those big people and said with a smile: "Thank you for not needing, that killing country is now simply the public enemy of all factions, although our new Carthage is weak, but it is also righteous, seeing you in trouble, how can there be a reason not to rescue!" ”
"Haha! King Shi Jinshui is really a person who understands righteousness..."
After some hypocritical praise to each other, Shi Jinshui also recognized the lives of the respective leaders of these seven factions, among which the boss of the Roman Julius family was a guy named Simenis, the Greek one was a guy named Gelas, and then there were Macedonian Abate, Thracian Salo, Gaul Demir, Spain Xenophon, and Scythia Virgina.
It can be seen that many of these guys are not the original faction leaders, but new officials who have just taken office, as for where their predecessors have gone, it is self-evident to look at their current embarrassment. Among them, the Thracian faction is the most unlucky, when resisting the killing army, the three faction leaders were all killed on the battlefield in just one month, and the current faction leader Salo was originally just a side member of the family who was not taken seriously, but due to a large number of family members killed in battle, he had to be driven to the shelves and became the leader of this faction. Maybe it's because he saw so many family members die in battle, and the blow was too deep, this guy looks a little wilted, and the others had better talk to Shi Jinshui and introduce each other, but this guy has been keeping his head down and silent since he went to the island, and the answers with Shi Jinshui are all done by the captain of the personal guard around him.
Shi Jinshui had just finished introducing each other to this gang of bigwigs, and on the sea not far away, a fleet of seven warships suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision. On top of these warships, a blood-red battle flag with a miserable white skull painted on it was planted.
"Not good! It's the chasing soldiers who kill the country, King Shi Jinshui, get ready to fight! ”
After seeing this battle flag, the big names couldn't help but change their expressions, and among them, the Thracian faction leader Salo was even more frightened and hid behind the captain of his personal guard, trembling.
