Chapter 298: Preparing for War

It is true that the northern tribes have never been a unified region, but this time the refugees fled, not because of the civil war, but because of the attack of the beasts.

It's not the first time Jun Qianqian has heard this name, but she can't imagine that what she thought only existed in mythological stories actually exists.

Could it be that things that look as exaggerated as nonsense record real things that happened?

This world is really a bit of a fantasy......

Jun Qianqian took a second to sort out the three views, and then listened to Bo Cheng's introduction of information.

The battle between the people of the north and the beast is not something to be surprised about, they have been fighting this beast for generations, and they have never stopped.

It's just that the attack of the beasts has never been on such a large scale this year, otherwise they would no longer be able to live in the north.

But after thinking about it, since Bo Cheng remembered, he vaguely felt that the casualties caused by the battle with the beasts were expanding every year, their population was decreasing, and the number of beasts was increasing.

It's autumn now, and the beasts have always come out after winter, but this year not only is the time abnormal, but the scale of the beast tide is also terrifying.

The black and overwhelming monsters that could not be seen were all open with scarlet glowing eyes, and they seemed to be more numerous than the stars in the sky and the sand in the river.

"In other words, the enemy we have to face, in addition to the cavalry in the north, there is also the beast tide?"

Jun Qianqian's face is loveless.

"What the hell is going on with that beast?"

Roze asked.

They know too little information, especially this kind of monster that only appears in mythological stories.

In the inheritance of the sacrificial platform, the beast has appeared in two places, one is the mural of the underground palace, and the other is the prophecy book of the river valley tribe.

It's just that these accounts describe the battle between the human race and the beast in a legendary tone.

You can't blame Jun Qianqian for taking these records as myths.

In those descriptions, the beast was described as a dark beast with fangs, and from the mural, it looked a little like a wild boar, but from Bocheng's description, it felt like it looked more like a shrimp.

It's just that the overwhelming giant eating human skin shrimp is terrifying enough.

This kind of thing really can't be called a beast, it's a real monster.

"What do you say? The wound of the beast can heal quickly after being injured, and if the beast is cut in half, it can even split into more individuals? ”

Such a powerful monster, how did the people of the north fight this guy in the past?

The boss is open, this is!

"In previous years, there were not so many beasts, and the leader would lead people to lead them to the lake, and when the lake froze, they would freeze inside, and in the spring they would melt with the ice."

Bo Cheng replied.

"Melt with the ice?"

The existence of such a thing as a beast seems to be constantly challenging Jun Qianqian's common sense.

But when I hear it this way, it feels like these monsters don't have any intelligence.

"If the beasts had multiplied quickly and were as cunning as wolves, it is estimated that the northern tribesmen would have been wiped out long ago."

Luo Ze didn't know whether to sigh or rejoice.

"The numbers and the ability to reproduce are enough to cause headaches."

Jun Qianqian took note of these messages, she had to rush to the Bluegrass-River Valley defense line as soon as possible, and the rest of the strongholds would soon receive battle reports, this news was very important.

"Remind Ana that when he and the basket support Harrom City, they must annihilate all the enemies from the north and do their best to reduce their own casualties."

Roze commanded.

"At the same time, we will give up part of the autumn harvest, and we will not dispose of the grain that can survive the winter in the fields, and allocate manpower to make weapons and ammunition."

The southern country's reserves of grain are enough to last one or two winters, and the most important thing now is to prepare for the battle with the beast tide.

"If the support from Ana's side doesn't go well, retreat immediately, send a message back, and the southern side will support on the road."

Luo Ze's order caused the combat units of the entire southern country to shrink, and the people on this side of the field territory immediately drove the sheep closer to Zihua, and the next troops stationed here were troops, and civilians evacuated in advance.

"Let Ana, bring some new weapons with them."

Jun Qianqian added.

"Yes, you can bring some with you when you get to the Bluegrass-River Valley Line."

Nanguo's new weapon has just been researched this year, and it is a mechanical crossbow that has been tested but has not yet had time to be implemented, this thing is a cold weapon, and it is completely prepared for the defense of the city.

The mechanical crossbow is an upgraded version of the repeater, and it is the proud work of Daze's independent research.

A mechanical crossbow fires more arrows than a repeater, and can shoot fifty bolts in a single load, which must be very useful for shooting cavalry.

And the biggest reason why crossbow arrows are not used for gun/powder at this time is also because of crossbow arrows, which can be recycled!

As long as you deliberately look for it when cleaning the battlefield, the recovery rate of crossbow arrows can reach more than 70%, and there is no way to pick up the cannon/bullet when you shoot it, and the use of crossbow arrows is more advantageous at this juncture when you need to reserve weapons.

"I'll bring some from the past."

Jun Qianqian nodded.

There are not many such mechanical crossbows now, but the Bluegrass-River Valley defense line has always been the most important defensive pass in the southern country, and the weapon reserves are already very rich, and the few mechanical crossbows let Ana take more than half of them, and she can take a small half of them.

Even before the battle reached the doorstep, notices were posted on the streets and alleys of the southern country, and the people knew that they were now in a period of war, and in addition to hoarding supplies, the labor force that could work had to join the preparations for war.

Schools were closed, hospitals began to train health workers with initial care skills, and underground shelters opened their doors to gradually place household items in their own zones.

"When it comes to a critical moment, should we abandon the city and flee?"

Gadot looked at the rows of car frames parked at the city gate, and his heart was actually uneasy.

"The city of Purple Flower is very strong, if this line of defense can't stop it, it's useless to escape."

But Jun Qianqian still prepared their plan to escape to the direction of the underground palace, and she had not yet informed everyone what her plans were.

"We'll try to keep the enemy out of the borders, but if things really aren't good, the dungeon may be our last hope."

Jun Qianqian tried her best to find time to interpret the map on the colorful clothes, she didn't have time to explore the places marked on the map in person, but the map marked the location of the underground palace, and it seemed that there was something amazing.

If it does get to the point where the defense line collapses, that's their last hope.
