Chapter 285: All the People Are Soldiers
There are quite a few people gathered on the city wall, both players and NPCs. These guys are now digging through the ground with hoes, and deep pits have been dug out. Gao Fei looked into the distance, and it seemed that this was the so-called moat.
Nowadays, the moat is dug in four directions, and then it is enough to open it one by one.
Gao Fei stared very carefully, and even measured it back and forth with his footsteps.
"A hundred paces laterally."
"It's about a hundred meters...... This can even match the width of a river, and it is indeed worthy of a moat. ”
Gao Fei couldn't help but sigh.
Of course, this alone is not enough.
Because the Lost City is known as the City of Commerce, it was all undefended until then. So now it's time to start building again...... The depth of the moat is also at least forty or fifty meters, and it is almost impossible to see at a glance. It is surrounded by a staircase, and NPCs drive the Earth Dragons and Rhinoceros to carry out the excavated dirt.
The soil will be sent to the city, and some materials will be added to it, and it will be specially burned into red bricks. Just as he was thinking about it, a large cart of red bricks had already been delivered. Gao Fei picked up a piece of it, which was quite hard, and its hardness was not even inferior to that of granite.
I saw that all these red bricks were sent to the bottom of the moat.
After pouring in a special mixture, it is laid out like a wall. This is to strengthen the moat, which would otherwise collapse easily. The moat of Shining Gold Town has been strengthened in this way......
First the bed of the moat, then the walls around it.
Most of these busy players are construction sub-class players who can not only gain experience, but also earn a lot of credits. Due to the large number of players involved, this siege was completed quite quickly. It would not be long before the entire bottom of the moat was completed.
Huge buckets of water were constantly being brought in by various magical beasts from the distant port, pouring all the water into the moat.
Gradually, the water began to rise.
However, if you want to elevate these people, it will take at least two or three days of uninterrupted time. Of course, this is not a big deal for the Lost City. Anyway, the Scourge still has at least eight or nine days to get here......
All the surrounding areas began to be covered with obstacles.
Of course, the walls are still the most important part.
The red bricks of the earth were quickly erected near the Lost City, but the walls were not too high, just waist-high. However, there were more than a dozen walls like this, and Gao Fei could guess the idea of the Lost City just by looking at it.
Because no matter how high the city wall is, it is not at all capable of resisting the Scourge Legion.
The Lost City is going to fight a head-on encounter.
Each of these walls is about ten meters apart, and each wall is a defense. Seeing these buildings, Gao Fei couldn't help nodding. I have to say that such a tactic is really good. If you just want to rely on tactics to deal with the entire Scourge Legion, then it's still too bad.
After all, there are too many Scourge legions.
It's not that easy to stop the Sea of Skulls' attack.
Even if you rely on the tactics of crowds, you can completely submerge this lost city alive. However, Gao Fei suddenly felt that it was not so simple, whenever he remembered the smile of the bearded warrior player in the tavern, he felt that there might be ghosts in it, and maybe there would be other hidden troops.
Gao Fei spun back and forth twice.
He didn't notice anything, and walked quickly towards the city. A large trench was dug behind each wall, and as you walked deeper into it, dozens of walls looked like a labyrinth.
In addition, a large number of rejected horses are being sent out of the city in an endless stream.
Gao Fei had a heart.
He followed the direction of the carriages and eventually reached a lumberyard. There are constantly all kinds of monsters carrying huge trees and slowly approaching the lumberyard, and there are tens of thousands of people busy here. Of course, most of them are players.
These players are not of a high level, and the Carpenter's secondary job is also quite low, so they can only do some simple carpentry.
After the roots and crown of the entire tree have been removed, it is simply processed and then crafted by some NPC carpenters. Gao Fei walked inside, and not far from the lumber yard, the catapults had been neatly stacked there, and at first glance, there were at least four or five hundred.
Almost every half hour, a catapult is made and sent to the arsenal for final processing. Seeing this scene, Gao Fei's eyelids couldn't help jumping.
At this rate, by the time the Scourge reaches the Lost City, there will be nearly a thousand catapults. With so many catapults under full attack, although they can cause a large area of damage, they will not cause much damage to the Scourge Legion.
"Hey, buddy." Gao Fei approached a player who was making a catapult. "There are a lot of catapults, but at this rate, by the time the Scourge arrives here, there will only be a thousand catapults at most. For the number of the Scourge Legion, it still doesn't play a big role. ”
"Hehe, if it's an ordinary thing, it's definitely not good, but our ammunition is not ordinary!" The carpenter player winked his eyes at Gao Fei. "The number of 1,000 catapults is completely sufficient, and the real lethality is in the ammunition."
Gao Fei couldn't help but nodded.
Following the direction of this player, Gao Fei immediately walked into the distance.
Sure enough, in a quarry, I saw everything I wanted to see.
"How many people are here?"
"Damn, there are at least 100,000!"
Gao Fei couldn't help but scolded fiercely.
Sure enough, the level of attention received was different, and Gao Fei could see a steady stream of convoys of round boulders being sent to the quarry. The boulders are first taken down by a convoy and then carved by a group of players.
It's a strange process.
The player carves the boulders into balls and passes them on to the next group of players. These players then use a chisel to hollow out the entire inside of the boulder. The hollowed-out boulders were passed on to the next group of players, and some black powder was poured into the hollow orbs. The hole is directly wrapped in mud, leaving no gaps.
"What are you doing here?" Gao Fei asked. In this series of processes, there was only one step of filling the black powder that he could not see clearly.
"Gunpowder!"
The player replied.
"It's full of gunpowder and phosphorus powder, and the export is sealed."
"If you hit it, it will explode. The power of the explosion is almost equivalent to a five-ring magic, isn't it enough to deal with those ordinary skeletons? ”
"Then there are oil drums. Once exploding, the oil will begin to attach frantically until the skeletons are completely incinerated into powder. ”
Kerosene?
Dynamite?
Gao Fei couldn't help but look over there.
These are ordinary fire oils, which are clearly high-purity fire oils that have been refined. Once burned, the temperature generated is at least 1,000 degrees Celsius, but it is enough to burn the skeleton into powder. Combined, the power of these two is equivalent to the magic of a seven-ring.
No wonder!
No wonder......
Gao Fei sighed again and again, no wonder the bearded player had considerable confidence in the defense of the Lost City, it turned out that there was such a thing.
Ran to the mine and took a look.
Gao Fei suddenly had a number in his heart. With so many players, you'll be able to create at least 100,000 boulder bombs per day. It's a pretty scary thing...... Gao Fei can even imagine such a picture-
When the Scourge Legion came down to the city.
A thousand catapults projected barrels of oil, which rained down on the skeletons. This is followed by boulder bombs, which explode in the center of the skeleton and then burn into ashes.
"Holy!"
Gao Fei couldn't help but scold.
You must know that before this, he had never taken the City of Scourge seriously. After all, this is just a commercial city, and it is completely undefended. In Gao Fei's mind, it must be a fairly easy way to attack the city.
But now it seems that it is not as simple as I imagined.
For the Lost City.
They have nothing but money. But money can make ghosts grind, whether it is a player or an NPC, under the call of gold coins, almost as much as they want, how much they want, in such a short period of time, the military strength is also crazy skyrocketing, even surpassing the Lost City.
According to Gao Fei's current point of view, the strength of this lost city should be among the one hundred and thirty-six fortresses in the "Plane", and it should be ranked at least in the absolute top ten.
Of course.
The movement of the Lost City has also attracted the attention of many cities.
As can be seen from the player's posts on the forums, the NPCs in these cities are now gathering in groups at the major fortresses. Invisibly, the strength of the NPC fortresses is growing rapidly. These outcasts were quickly mobilized......
Of course, under this situation, the Church of Light also began to act.
One of the most remarkable cathedrals in the Lost City is rapidly being built. In just five days, the thirty-meter-tall building became the tallest building in the entire Lost City, and almost at the same time as it was built, the melodious bells began to sound throughout the Lost City!
