As soon as he arrived in Nolan City, Wayne immediately found craftsmen and worked with Reynolds to develop cement. Cement has been around since ancient Rome, when they had to build drainage ditches, but there were no stones. After groping, cement was found, but it was not popularized.

Now Wayne has a plan in mind, he wants to transform the city of Nolan. Now the walls of Nolan City are flat, and although they have a certain height, they are very backward.

He is now going to study the prismatic castles of the European Firearms Age. The original flat city wall was replaced with a city wall with triangular protrusions. The walls that originally looked boxy from above were transformed into a circle full of thorns.

Keep in mind that each wall is 1.5 kilometers long and 5 meters high. Now Wayne plans to rebuild a new wall, which will not be as tall as the original wall, but it must be longer than the original wall. There are also protruding parts, which are even more unimaginable.

Now Wayne wants to mobilize the city of Nolan, and even recruit some citizens of Ossi to the west and Menan to the south, which are in stable condition.

As long as Nolan holds on, Ossi, Menan, and Longi can hold on. The passage to these cities was only available to Nolan, unless the elves could fly over the mountains of the uninhabited and reckless lands.

To the north, the city of Heran can be abandoned, after all, it is sparsely populated and has a rudimentary city defense system. Every time Stuyard went south, the city of Herland fled to Nolan except for those who had something to do with the elves. If you can't do it, you will flee south.

So Nolan is a top priority.

That's the big deal.

Wayne called Simpson, the steward, Evans, the city lord, Balder, the temporary commander of the army, and Beson, the battalion commander.

This was the first time Wayne had called almost all of the important people, with the exception of Heath and Obans, of course.

The people present watched the battle and knew that Wayne had something big to announce.

Wayne didn't speak, and opened a 2*2 meter map directly on the table surrounded by everyone.

They were all shocked, because this was the city of Nolan. But it doesn't seem to be, the boxy city of Nolan is surrounded by a barbed circle.

Evans pointed to the map and asked incredulously, "Don't tell me this is the wall?" ”

Wayne nodded with a smirk.

Evans immediately said angrily, "You young master who doesn't know the cost of firewood and rice, do you know how much it costs." This would hollow out Nolan's finances for ten years. And how many years will it take to build, and then the long-eared monkeys will come. ”

Long-eared monkey is a derogatory term for elves.

Even Hinderson, the butler who usually protects Wayne, frowned tightly and didn't say a word.

It was Besson and Balder, who had stoned the cannonballs, and looked at the new walls with great interest. I feel that this city wall is a city wall, and I don't know what it was before.

Wayne made a quiet gesture and spoke.

"Evans, don't worry, I haven't spoken yet. ”

Evans eased his anger.

Wayne said.

"I first invented something called cement, which works with bricks to speed up the project a lot. And I'm going to recruit all the citizens of Nolan. ”

Evans now feels like either Wayne is crazy or he is crazy. Would love to have a seizure.

But Balder spoke.

"I think Master Wayne might be right. ”

Evans clenched his scalp with both hands, and now felt like he was surrounded by crazy people, or if he was crazy.

But Simpson was apparently more composed, listening carefully to Balder's words.

Wayne motioned for Bald to continue.

Balde pointed to a bump.

"This kind of protruding castle allows you to place more artillery. And the two adjacent ones can form a fire cross. The city walls, which could have only placed one hundred and twenty artillery pieces, can now hold at least two hundred. Of course, even if there are not so many artillery, the effect of replacing it with bows and arrows is much better than the original city wall..."

Balde gestured with his hands and explained.

Evans, who was already distressed, also raised his head and listened carefully. He, a layman who was a layman of war, heard such a detailed explanation and knew that this wall was of great significance.

At the end, Bessen did not forget to add, "And the area of the city wall increases, and the more troops need to siege the city." If he felt that if he concentrated his forces to attack one place, then the number of people would be very dense. When the time comes, let these long-eared monkeys let them know what a bomb is. ”

In fact, the power of this bomb is much smaller than that of the previous life. However, since there is a black powder name, Wayne also came out by the way.

Wayne was very satisfied to look at his two proud generals, and it seemed that they had not been in vain to fight every day. Although the money was spent, the effect also came out.

Evans sighed as he listened.

Still said helplessly, "I also want to build this new city wall, but no matter how magical the cement you say." It takes time for people to become proficient in the first place. Secondly, we have to buy bricks from other places, and it takes time to ship them over. Based on Ann's previous experience, there were only four months left for Stuyard to go south. Is it too late? Can you take this risk? If Stuyard comes and doesn't build it, then it will be a barrier for the elves. ”

This sentence is like a stone pressing on everyone's hearts, this city wall is built, then Nolan is impregnable. If it is not built, it is to put a shackle on yourself, which greatly reduces your chances of winning.

They all frowned, this feeling was very bad. It's not a good choice to give up and insist.

Wayne pointed to the map hanging on the wall, not tall enough. He drew the iron sword on the table and pointed at Nolan's north.

"Support Heran City. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and it was a good idea. But the good mood didn't last long, and then I ran into a thorny problem?

The battlefield can be handed over to Beson and Balder, but they can't control the overall situation. For logistics and scheduling in Heran City, it is necessary to send a person who can speak and compete. Evans had to cooperate with Reynolds to preside over the construction of the city walls, and the butler Hinderson was too old to bear it.

It can only be Wayne, but he's a lord. Can you go to a city that can be abandoned at any time?

Butler Hinderson didn't want that to happen.

"Master Wayne, let me go. Don't look at me old, but I've fought with Earl Nils. At that time, Lord Nils entrusted me with logistics and other things, and you must know that there were dozens of cities at that time, and I was still able to deal with it. Although it is a little older now, it is just a Helan city. I'm not taking it seriously yet. ”

After speaking, Hinderson raised his head slightly. I am quite proud of the deeds of that year.

But Evans and others do not have such self-confidence. They could tell that Hinderson was protecting Wayne and didn't want him to put himself at risk.

Wayne put the sword back in its scabbard and said to Hinderson.

"Butler Hinderson, I'm even willing to call you Grandpa Hinderson. You are the person I trust and dearest the most, and that's why I can't let you go. I need you to help me oversee the workshop and prevent spies from entering. I have to go to Heran City. ”

Hinderson's heart trembled slightly, tears rolling in his eyes, and it was difficult to show it because there were other people present.

"Young master, you can be so considerate of me. Of course I'm happy, but young master, you have to know that you are a lord, if there are three longs and two shorts, everything is empty talk. ”

Wayne laughed instead.

"Steward Hinderson, when you followed my father Nils around on the battlefield in the early years, my father was not safe. Besides, I was sure to escape. We brought the artillery over and blew it all up as we retreated. Even some grain and grass and equipment were burned. We can withdraw it. Moreover, if I go to supervise the war, it will not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also strengthen the confidence of the people in victory. ”
