Chapter 542: Orc Pterodactyl Scout
Seeing the businesswoman lift the curtain and walk out of the main tent, Charles rubbed her temples a little tiredly.
The construction of the territory is simply complicated, what materials, what labor, defensive forces, monster harassment, all aspects must be considered.
In fact, the most headache for Charles was not the group of orcs in the Horn Mountain Range of the Storm Mountain Range, he could use a lot of strength to fight against the orcs, but the glass palace in the depths of the swamp in the far sea made him unable to sleep.
The glass palace is undoubtedly a relic left by the ancient elven civilization, but this ruin is not like other ruins that have completely slumbered, and the power has been wiped out by the years, Charles has personally felt that the power of the glass palace is still very strong, the illusion is terrifying, and there are many powerful monsters inside.
Charles still hasn't figured out why monsters like 'Death Screamers' and 'Corpse Hounds' exist in the Elven Ruins, but until he masters the Five Rings Divine Technique [True Knowledge], he won't be able to break into the Glass Palace again.
"Bell, bell, bell......"
The sound of banging echoed through the valley.
For three days in a row, construction was going on inside and outside the Hexagram Fortress, and a total of more than 2,000 slaves were scattered around the fortress, either building walls or carrying stones, everyone was busy sweating profusely, but there was no trace of fatigue or complaints.
The pass of the valley road has been framed, the gray stone wall is more than ten meters high, and the wall bricks are all boulders carried back by the hill giants and polished by dwarven craftsmen. Charles stood on the newly built pass, holding on to the wall, sticking his head out to look at the doorway in the ground, his face full of satisfaction.
The Hexagram Fortress is surrounded by steep peaks on all sides. There was only one entrance, and the orcs chose to build a fortress here to protect the veins. I have to say that I have a unique vision, but now it's all cheaper for the 'Rock Collar' Alliance.
There is such a pass that guards the only valley road, not to mention that one man should be the one who can't open it, in fact, it is not much worse.
Of course, it's no problem to defend against purely physical attacks, if the orcs send out high-level wizards and shamans above the hero rank, and throw a legendary spell or something at the pass. Charles could only pinch his nose and admit it.
And if it is a spell below the legend of the Nine Rings, the pass can't be stopped, and the worst thing is that Charr can still be as a 'guardian'. Make a deal with the two little goddesses, hand over a batch of believers to them, and let the goddess help.
"My lord, there is still a gate that has not been cast. It is smelted using ordinary iron ore. Or with other special materials? β
"I'll leave this to the Foundry Battalion to plan. Whatever materials are used, report to the Parliament. β
The dwarven engineer who was in charge of planning the construction of the pass asked respectfully as he stood next to Charr.
This is the younger brother of the dwarven twins, Lurick, a few days ago, after the 'Rock Leader' Alliance issued a talent convening order, the brothers Lurica and Lurick took the initiative to find the manager of the alliance and identify themselves.
The elder brother Rurica is an expert blacksmith, and the younger brother Ruric is a very rare construction engineer, and the dwarven brothers have proved their abilities with practical actions in the past few days, and Charles did not hesitate to crown the two as the first batch of glorious residents of the 'Rock Collar'. In the future, you will be able to get a beautiful small mansion in the upper area around the lord's mansion.
At first glance, this edict looks like a pie on paper. But the actual effect is obvious, and the dwarven brothers who have lost their homes are enveloped by this decree and do their best to serve the 'Rock Collar'.
The second place Charles visited was the foundry camp run by his brother Rurika.
The militia removed batches of arrows from here. Iron objects used in the construction of the fort at present, such as gates, locks, hinges, and shackles, are all produced in the foundry. In the forging area, many Guild players wander around, waiting for Lurica to finish crafting these weapons and find Dwarven NPCs to repair their equipment for free.
Rurica has the expert 'Blacksmith' rank, and even purple equipment can be repaired perfectly.
Seeing the Charr coming, the humans and dwarves who had changed from slaves to militia all stopped and bowed their heads, but the players of the alliance were not so polite, and greeted each other with a smile: "Our lord has come to inspect again." β
In the past few days, Charles has been walking back and forth, and almost all players inside and outside the fortress recognize him, from being restrained and uneasy at the beginning, to now greeting him with a smile, which shows that he is still recognized as the great lord of the 'Rock Domain'.
All the core members who participated in the construction of the territory knew that more than ninety percent of the construction funds came from the great lords of the 'Rock Domain'.
In addition, the official forum of the 'Rock Leader' alliance in the real online world has recently opened a new 'Nordasil' section, Charles is the super moderator of the forum, and Leah, the team logistics director, is the moderator of the 'Nordasil' small section, which contains some dungeon strategies and deputy training skills, which have benefited many alliance players a lot.
Standing in the foundry area, looking at the dwarven blacksmith Rurika surrounded by the crowd, Charles couldn't help but nod.
The dwarven blacksmith seemed to be in another world, and the crowd around him had nothing to do with him, and there were several blacksmith assistants standing next to him, so he didn't have to worry about running out of manpower.
Charles looked at it for a while, and was about to turn around and walk away, when a large shadow suddenly cast on the ground, as if there was some huge creature in the sky.
Soon some of the Allies pointed to the sky and screamed, and Charles looked up to see a group of pterosaurs flying in the clouds, and on the back of each pterosaur stood a strong orc in black armor, these orcs were tightening the leather reins of the pterosaur's head, and were looking down at the six-pointed star fortress on the ground.
"Pterodactyl scouts of orcs?" Charles's face was gloomy and roughly counted, the number of this pterosaur scout team was more than hundred!
It's definitely a flying reconnaissance group sent by the Orc Court!
"Buzz"
Flying around the fortress, a scout captain riding the Pterodactyl Lord, suddenly raised his javelin and took the lead in ordering the Pterodactyl Lord to swoop down.
Realizing that something was wrong, Charles immediately shouted, "Air strike! Take out your crossbows and fight back! β
"Air raidsβ"
The other members of the Guild shouted as well, and the voices of the Foundry Camp followed, followed by players and militia members from another camp waving and shouting, and soon the entire fortress began to shout warning shouts.
The orc winged dragoons swooped down to a low altitude, only about twenty or thirty meters from the ground, and began to throw javelins, swishing and swishing, and the javelins rained down in an instant, and this orc scout team also used enchanted javelins extravagantly, some of which were either blazing or covered with frost.
With the warning, the militia hid in the obstacles, and the Guild players with bows and crossbows stood in a crowded position, asking their fellow warriors to help raise their shields to block the javelins, while returning fire with arrows and crossbows.
However, the intention of the orc winged dragoons did not seem to be to kill, and the flame javelins were mainly aimed at the cloth tents, and soon the living quarters of the players and militia were scorched with smoke, and the fire spread rapidly.
"Let's goβ" The orc captain glanced coldly at the fortress and ordered the winged dragoons to take off into the air.
Players and militiamen begin to participate in the firefighting, and in the end, the fortress does not suffer major losses, but the shadow of the orc air raid lingers in everyone's minds. Whether it is a player or an aborigine, there is a haze hidden between the eyebrows.
How to stop the harassment of orc pterodacters?
Charles knew that this was probably just the beginning, and since the Orc Court had sent such a flying scout team, there must be many targeted arrangements in the future. (To be continued.) )
