Chapter 82. Fortify your defenses
The militia did not stay long, but after lunch, they were ready to leave. In fact, they should go to the reclamation town as soon as possible, but according to the attack on Hawke, Captain Chel still led the troops to stay and wait for some time, after all, no one knows if those orcs will continue to come back to retaliate, which is dangerous.
But according to Hawke himself, it was nothing, especially for those orcs, who were not so strong in front of his combat power. The bloodlust that comes from Alduin's blood, which still persists in his blood, can be easily taken out even against a team of ten if Hawke wants to.
"Thank you very much for your hospitality."
Cair stood at the front of the line, but behind him was not only his lieutenant Correso, but also two little ones, John and Pete, neatly dressed in leather armor and holding their own weapons with considerable spirit. However, Chel still turned his head to look at the two of them, smiled slightly, looked at Hawke and nodded, "After all, we are from Minerstown, if you are attacked, you can come to us." ”
This was not polite, even when he came, Lord Rose had warned him to help Hawke if he could. At that time, Chell didn't understand why he wanted to help Hawke more, and now he has understood, although it was suddenly said by Lord Ross when he went out on the expedition, I am afraid that he also knew some information at that time.
And as the King of Anger began to rebel against the Purple Tulip Principality, a large number of battles and even wars would occur, and now that the Purple Tulip Principality was still in the time of the alternation of thrones, it was very likely that those rebels would take advantage of this time to generate some quite huge frenzy.
"If I can't stop it, I'll call for help."
With a smile on his lips, Hawke nodded to Captain Cell, and then looked at John and Pete, his two few friends and the brothers he was going to train a little in the army. Walking forward gently, Hawk and the two of them hugged fiercely, before nodding and saying, "John, Pete, you two be careful." ”
"Equally."
The two of them also nodded, with a certain firmness in their eyes, they were able to become the team leader, and the relationship with Hawke was actually inseparable, especially with the prestige of Hawke before, they were even able to fully control their own team. However, the two of them still glanced behind them without leaving a trace, and with a certain disgust, they lowered their heads and whispered to Hawke: "Be careful of that guy Edward, he still hates you quite a lot!" ”
"Him?" Hawke subconsciously looked over, but found that in the crowd, a pair of eyes with anger and resentment were flashing there, but after a closer look, he found that a teenager turned his head directly, slightly lowered and did not dare to meet Hawke's gaze, the corner of his mouth brought an indifferent smile, just looked at John and Pete and smiled: "That's not a big deal." ”
Even if Edward's father is the treasurer of Minertown, what threat can he pose to Hawke now? Even for Hawke, the little financial officer is no longer concerned, this is the confidence that comes from the bloodline, and it is also the strength brought by his increased strength.
However, Hawk still patted the shoulders of the two of them to show his encouragement, but looking at the teenagers who were looking at him, the corners of his mouth were also slightly smiling, especially looking at the pillars of these miner towns in the future, Hawke was also satisfied in his heart. Because except for a few of these teenagers, the eyes that looked at him were full of that kind of admiration and worship.
Without saying much, the entire militia team followed the beckoning of Chel and walked in unison towards the distant reclamation town, but they were still cautious, especially the adult militia who protected the teenagers, and began to look at the surrounding environment vigilantly.
Although they are militias, they are still combat troops. In this chaotic little story, they have also cultivated their unique fighting style. At least in the face of the enemy, they will not be as busy as civilians, but will rely on the formation of peacetime training to directly cut down those enemies who dare to appear in a pool of blood.
"It's confusing, as usual, the patrol from Reclamation Town should be here."
Wharton frowned slightly, looking at the horizon not far away, bypassing the layers of hills and forests, Wharton's face was a little bad, he just turned his head to look at Hawke, sighed and said: "I really don't understand, we couldn't see the patrol when we were attacked by the enemy, and there is still no half of a figure." ”
It was indeed a puzzling thing, at least the employees around them were already talking, looking at the remaining traces of the battle around them, with some anger and sorrow on their faces. If it weren't for Hawke, they would have died, because it had been almost more than two hours since then, and those half-hour and hourly patrols had not yet arrived!
"Something doesn't seem right."
Those Nord robbers also looked at the side with a little interest, holding their weapons to each other, showing some kind of strange smile, especially looking at the two-story building, they all raised their eyebrows at each other, secretly happy. But they all knew what they were thinking, even Hawke could know it clearly, but he just smiled and shook his head.
Although these Nord bandits are not strong in combat, they are much weaker than those creatures such as dragons, giants, and even undead. However, the level of this group of Nord bandits changes with the level of the protagonist, and the weapons in their hands are also quite deadly!
"I think we should be careful defensively, preferably to put the fence up."
The leader of the Nord bandits turned his head to look at the broken wall, couldn't help touching his chin full of stubble, nodded slightly and said to Hawke next to him: "And we also need to strengthen and increase the height, otherwise this so-called wall is just some kind of joke." ”
The surrounding Nord bandits also nodded, although the seven of them did not have much combat power, and now they were much weaker than the ice wolves crawling at Hawk's feet, but it did not hinder their minds as humans, especially in the construction of military buildings, they also had their own unique opinions. At least in the game, these bandits don't just build wooden watchtowers, they can even build simple wooden camps!
"Well, build a farm, let's wait."
Touching his chin slightly, Hawke turned his head to look at the two-story building of his Uncle Jax, and still sighed slightly, he was a little shy in his pocket, let alone building a wooden building, even if it was a bit troublesome to strengthen the wall. Although this is a reclamation town for timber production, and the mountains are full of forests, it is better to have at least workers to cut it, otherwise it is really blind to both eyes.
After a slight pause, Hawke looked at the employees around him who were looking at him, and he also pinched his waist, and thought about it helplessly, but he still waved at the employees not far away, and said loudly: "Let's build the wall, and then think about something else!" ”
The surrounding employees immediately nodded and began to act according to their respective assignments, but there were only a dozen men and five or six ladies, and in the face of the orcs destroying the simple wall, the construction was still quite slow, and Hawke also sighed, looked at the distance in a somewhat complicated way, shook his head slightly, and beckoned the Nord bandits to come over to help.
The walls surround the two-story building, which is basically made of two finger-wide stones, which are not of much value thanks to the stone and forest resources of the town, so Uncle Jax has built a slightly better farm.
And it is precisely because of Uncle Yax's ruthless spending that this two-story building has far better defense capabilities than other farms. At least after the transformation of the employees, even if it is broken through the fence, there is a layer of reinforcement and modification. In particular, the thickness of the wood in the room on the first floor has been reinforced a lot by a large number of planks and logs.
"Hurry up, we'd better get it all up before it gets dark in the afternoon."
Watching the employees clean up the scattered fence, Hawke dragged off the two layers of armor on his body, leaving only the linen clothes on his body, and used his absolute strength to help the employees build, while shouting loudly and encouragingly: "After the construction is completed, our safety will be fully guaranteed!" ”
Generally speaking, when life is in danger, all the employees are moving stones and wood quickly, not only repairing the fence, but even re-building the stone where the previous floor was not properly reinforced, and then nailing it with wood on the outside.
Before it got dark, almost all the walls had been repaired, and the employees were still tired, but there was a certain relief on their faces. Especially looking at the seven Nord bandits and Hawke who were standing in front, they all exhaled a long breath, at least they thought that there was no need to worry about it at night, there would be enemies attacking the farm.
"Wharton, the merchant you're talking about will come tomorrow?"
Frowning slightly, Hawke stood at the top of the second floor, staring at the extreme distance, the sun slowly descended, turned his head slightly to look at Wharton next to him, and asked softly: "But, why has there been no patrol for so long?" ”
They were mending the fence and reinforcing the farm building, but they also found that from noon to the end of the evening, the usual patrol team did not see a single one. It's something impossible, because the patrols are the protectors of the surrounding area, and the guarantors of the roads!
ps:This is the first shift.,Hehe.,There's a second shift around half past nine and half past eleven.,Quack,I'm trying to code the word ~~~ (To be continued.) )
