Chapter 112: The Fruits of Titus
After some simple trimming. The sentries and peasants, who had been replenished with some food and water, under the command of Vasily, once again threw themselves into the construction of the farmhouse with full morale.
And Tagio?
Before the guards and farmers could resume their work, he shifted his position and headed towards the site where the watchtower was built.
Well, this watchtower is not a priority in the overall renovation plan. However, just because it's not a priority doesn't mean that Tagao can ignore the construction of the tower and let it go unchecked.
In any case, this watchtower is also one of the security guarantees of this new camp, and it cannot be dealt with casually.
It is precisely because of this consideration that when Tagio instructed Elena to prepare fruit and drinking water, he deliberately instructed Elena to prepare two portions separately.
One of the larger ones was for the larger farmhouses, while the smaller ones were for the watchtowers.
As the saying goes, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, and you can't be thick with one over the other, right?
After taking a moment to stretch the entire camp from south to north, Tageo moved from the construction site of the farmhouse to the construction area of the watchtower. As Tagao walked near the construction area of the watchtower.
At first glance, Tagio was like Vasily and the others at the farmhouse, and Titus and several of the guards assigned to him were also taking the magic spring water and fruit prepared by Yelena.
As for why Tagio knew so clearly.
Naturally, because of the magic spring water, which is full of special effects, everyone has a miniature seven-colored rainbow on top of their heads. With this hint that is too conspicuous to be noticeable, Tagao will certainly not be mistaken.
As Tagao walked over, Tetus was clutching a fruit and nibbling on it.
Tagio raised his hand and greeted Tetus, perhaps not expecting Tagio to come over at this time. Quite a little caught off guard, Tetus threw the half-eaten fruit directly in his hand, and then quickly raised his head and saluted at Tagio.
"Eh, I salute my lord, I didn't expect you to come at this time."
To be honest, Tagio didn't expect Tetus's reaction to be so exaggerated after noticing his appearance.
So after hearing Titus' slightly nervous explanation, Tagao nodded at Titus, and then said in a rather flat tone:
"Okay, take it easy. It's not a formal occasion now, so there's no need to be so strict. ”
With that, Tagao reached out again and patted Tetus on the shoulder twice.
Hearing Tagio say this, coupled with Tagio's action of patting his shoulder, Tetus, who had been tensing his body, was a little relaxed.
After smiling a little embarrassedly at Tagorio, Tetus spoke again:
"Thank you, my lord, for the water and fruits."
"It's nothing, well, by the way, how is the situation with this watchtower?"
Hearing Tagao mention the state of the watchtower, Tetus pointed in a direction and spoke:
"It's all there from yesterday until now, you just have to look at it and see it."
Tagao looked in the direction Titus had pointed out, and then he saw a pit that was noticeably larger than the one on the other side of the farmhouse.
Aside from the obviously treated pit, all that remained was a few materials stacked together. Well, that is to say, the construction progress of the entire guard tower has basically not made much progress since last night.
Well, this situation will occur, and it can't be said that Tetus is passive and slacking off, or anything like that.
After all, according to Tagao's arrangement, the vast majority of the manpower currently concentrated in this temporary camp is concentrated in the construction area of the farmhouse. With the vast majority of the staff assigned to the farmhouse, there will naturally not be much progress on the watchtower side.
For this kind of situation, which can be said to be caused by himself, Tagio naturally knows it. At the moment, he could only express his attitude towards the construction progress of the watchtower in as relaxed a tone as possible.
That is to give priority to all kinds of preparations, and after the completion of the farmhouse, both Vasily and the newly recruited farmers from the newly built farmhouse will gather here to participate in the construction of the watchtower.
With these new forces on board, Tagao was confident that the construction of the tower would be completed smoothly.
Well, in fact, the real results of Titus's work are not reflected in the construction of the watchtower. The results of his work are reflected in another aspect.
Centered on the tower's pit, Titus and his assignees dug a shallow arc-shaped ditch. The excavated earth was piled up on the side of the shallow gully, forming a plausible-looking breastwork.
On the outside of the shallow ditch, the grass and shrubs that interfere with the view were cleaned up. Without the cover of the grass and shrubs, the gnolls would not have tried to reach the edge of the camp quietly.
The work that Titus did seemed like he was not doing his job properly, but it was not.
Even though Tagao had already decided to build the farmhouse first, he still let Titus stay here with a few people just to prepare for the watchtower.
From the beginning to the present, whether it is Tageo himself or his army, they have all fought back and forth with the gnolls several times. After making it clear that these long-haired guys belong to the hostile forces that have been completely eliminated, it is natural for Tagao to guard against them. He didn't want his side to be quietly approached by a group of gnolls while he was busy building a lot of construction.
Because of this thought, Tagio arranged for Tetus to bring people over. Acting as a guard guard against the jackals is their main job, and preparing for the construction of the watchtower can be a matter that can be put on the back burner.
So in terms of the results of this work, Tetus is actually doing quite well. This one apparently understood Tag'ao's true intentions in putting him in this position.
Tag'o stood on the edge of the shallow ditch that had just been dug up in the half-circle, chatting with Titus for a few more words, taking a closer look at his plans for the defense of the trumpet camp.
To be honest, no matter what era or background in the world, as long as you still stay on the ground and mention the word defense. Basically, it is inseparable from things like building walls and digging trenches.
This is basically the case with Tetus' defense plan. With this watchtower as the center, a wall was built in the northern part of the camp and a trench was dug. Prepare all kinds of necessary vigilance and reconnaissance equipment.
Of course, all of these defenses were prepared in the farmhouse and watchtower, both of which were built in the lair. It will not begin until this temporary camp has been officially transformed into a careful stronghold.
The reason why we have to wait until that time is naturally because the entire camp will be supported by some stronghold characteristics before the construction work is carried out.
With help that is not easy to describe in words, it is much easier to build those time-consuming and laborious defenses.
