Allen, Mirune, and Harvey have settled in the Jackals' camp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

During the day, they go out to explore the terrain of Al Sarah, observe the surrounding ecology, and at night organize it to draw detailed maps and make plans.

Of course, Alan also helps the gnolls with the hunt, but those are just chips to make the gnolls work, and more time, he lets the gnolls go to the wood, and then mine the silver mines buried in the nearby mines.

He slyly pointed out to Silvermane that the main culprits that threatened them to hunt and had to retreat into the valley to the south like they were now were the bears that occupied a large area of land and were extremely arrogant and domineering, and it was because of them that the echinoderm jackals could only be trapped in the bottom of this barren valley and could not hunt for any food, and if it was the wider and open land to the north, there was no need to worry about prey at all.

This is simply to say that Silvermane's heart is in the heart, they were first here, but they were driven down by the bear monsters.

At that time, the thorny jackal had just suffered consecutive defeats, and his morale was declining, and when he saw the appearance of a large number of bear monsters, he did not dare to fight, and took the initiative to retreat into the valley under the threat of the other party.

But it also knew that if it only attacked by the echinoderm jackals, there was no chance of winning at all, the bear monsters had been entrenched here for a long time, not only in large numbers, but also relying on the terrain of the mountains to build a fortress, it was not a random fence stake like the jackals, but made Alan surprised to see it.

This is not to say that the fortress was magnificent, but its tone itself was made of the most pine and black needle wood in the land, far less than the castle with a dug moat and heavy stone slabs, at best similar to the old bandit camp.

However, this kind of thing needs to be compared sideways, and compared to the gnolls who can only build fences to hold caves, the fortress of the bear monster must be more than a star and a half higher. They are very well designed, but I don't know if they really understand the principles, or if they feel that building this way will give them an advantage. Attacking the Bear Monster's fortress is not easy, and the invaders can only follow a narrow path that is encircled from the beginning to the end, and they need to go through at least 4 lines of defense to reach the top of the fortress. There was no cover, no place to hide, but they were all exposed to the range of the towers.

Fortifications like this are usually difficult to capture with manpower, especially since the echinoderm gnolls are still on the outnumbered side, so when Silvermane told Allen about his scruples, the latter took out a blueprint of the ballista design that had been prepared long ago.

Regardless of whether the Gnoll can read the blueprint, Alan doesn't intend to teach the other party how to make a ballista, he only intends to leave the heavy, most basic things to Silvermane and his men, and he himself will take care of the core parts and assembly.

He told Silvermane that with this thing, they could easily break into the bear monsters' impregnable fortresses, and that his demon *** made the bears flee.

This is not a white note from Allen, nor is it that his self-confidence is inflated, because no matter how powerful the bear monster is, it is still far inferior to the trolls of this era, since Alan can lead the Night Elves to defeat the army of trolls, then there is naturally no need to worry too much about facing the bear monster that is far inferior to the latter in terms of quality and quantity.

Silvermane was skeptical of Allen's words, but it remembered the skill that the other party had shown for days, and it decided to take a gamble, just as it had made when the army was defeated.

It summoned its proud assistant to lame, and asked it to distribute Alan's needs-

As I said before, the jackals are a race that does not produce anything, and to use a more vivid metaphor, it is the gangsters who used to be the tigers, usually idle, and their only job is to watch the field for others, help the rich landlords and squires bully those flat-headed people, let him fight, and when there are many people, he shows off his power than anyone else, but if he really wants to meet someone who knows eighteen kinds of martial arts, he will immediately coward, and it is more uncomfortable to ask them to do a job than to kill their heads.

The gnoll people are in such a state of mind, in order to make them work, the silver mane is under the advice of lameness, and it is used to coerce and induce.

First of all, a foreman was set up, but anyone who dared to be lazy and not work would not be asked, and he would be whipped if he went up directly.

At the beginning, the effect was not bad, even if the skin of the echinoderm jackal was very hard, but it was not so pleasant to put on a leather whip, and the brute soldiers selected by the silver-mane did not know any mercy, and as soon as the whip went down, the skin immediately opened, and the jackals who smoked rolled all over the ground.

But the result is that the jackals dare not be lazy openly, but the output does not increase but decreases, which provokes the silver mane to be furious, it turns out that the subjective initiative of the jackals is very poor, although they are afraid of the whip, they dare not lie down to nap or rest openly, but when mining, it takes a few seconds before the next shovel, and it is still soft and weak, which can have a high output There are really ghosts.

This reminded Alan of the diligence of the Night Elves, who were too lazy.

He suggested to Silvermane that he set a daily target, and that those who could exceed it should be rewarded with food.

This policy was also good at the beginning, and Alan also took advantage of this to breathe a sigh of relief, but within two days, these gnolls were like deflated balls, they wanted to bounce, and they wanted to bounce high, but helplessly, their bodies were not strong. Once the time has dried up, the mind will be scattered, the body will seem to be hollowed out, and the boredom and resistance will become more and more serious.

In the face of this group of stubborn guys, Alan and Silvermane had to sacrifice the last killer weapon -

It's better to set a standard, but this time it's the minimum standard, but if the output doesn't exceed the target, it's good, then you won't have anything to eat all day.

It is said that people are forced out, and the same is true of gnoll people.

After two days of starvation, the productivity of the jackals increased by several notches, and as a result, the basic materials for the construction of the prototype of the ballista were gradually prepared. The principle of the ballista is actually similar to that of the bow and arrow, but because the arrows fired are large and made of metal, the bowstring needs to be made of spring steel and wound with a winch, which cannot be pulled by human labor.

Eren didn't want to teach his apprentices to starve to death of his master, and no one could be sure if these gnolls would one day sell them for the same food, so Alan lied to Silvermane about the core build, claiming that it required arcane power, and put a few tricks to scare the gnolls, and then dragged the ballista back to his lodgings for Harvey and Milune to assemble it for him.

However, he was somewhat worried, for the winch and steel wire of the ballista were not produced by the unskilled gnolls. Even Alan himself, using plastic energy magic to decompose and reconstruct matter took him a lot of energy and time.

It was about the fifth day after arriving at the Gnoll camp, and the first ballista that Allen and the others assembled was released.
