The crisis was lifted, but the next wave of crisis came, and the ominous monster, like a black tide, crashed into the dark fortress, a giant wolf close to one meter high, a miniature version of the mammoth boar with fangs as fast as eighty centimeters, a fox with a foul smell, a rabbit with red eyes, and the docile and not docile, all rushed to the dark fortress like a madman at this moment.

Wang Mubi has fallen into a coma because of overconsumption, Merlin has also collapsed to the point that he can't do it, although Li Shanhe didn't say it on the surface, more than ten one-handed weight-bearing sprints and jumps to receive pull-ups, his physical exertion is also very amazing. Even if everyone is mentally prepared, they still feel terrible when they really see the beast tide at this time, and Ai Lian knows that now, he really has to rely on himself.

"Don't panic, Ryan, help keep order!"

"Roger. Ryan's convoy scattered in all directions, sorting out the state of the army, and by the way, he took a hand.

"Pol, take the hoplites on top!"

"Roger, brethren!"

"Klin, specialize in shooting wild boars, wild boars have the most destructive power to the city wall!"

"Receive... Roger!"

Orders were issued from Ai Lian in an orderly manner, and the more complicated the situation, the more Ai Lian felt that the composition in his mind became clearer, and the pieces of information, as if they had passed through the intelligence database, were displayed.

The place actually guarded is about three hundred meters, and the intelligence is correct. Keep an eye out for small beasts such as rabbits and foxes, small ones that can jump into walls when stepping on large ones. Wild boars are culled in the core, wild boars crash into the fortress, and there are even gravel. Wolves can't jump on the walls, but their teeth and claws can easily scratch the guards. It seems that there are bears and tigers in the rear......

Ai Lian collected and analyzed intelligence one by one, and the situation on the front gradually stabilized.

The efforts of these days are not in vain, although there are people who have been injured because they are not paying attention, but there are still no deaths, and everyone's emotions are still high, but this state obviously cannot be maintained for too long.

Elien ordered the hoplites to withdraw from the battle while the second squad came up to replace the first squad.

As soon as the order came out, everyone complained, especially militants like Pol, who felt that they were not yet happy, but still obeyed the order.

At the time of the replacement, Ai Lian accurately saw that there were indeed people who were starting to be poor, at least today, and the three core phalanxes had to be familiar with this kind of battle.

At this moment, the black tide in the distance finally broke off, and Ai Lian knew that this wave was over, encouraging everyone to cheer, and at the same time began to calculate silently in his heart.

From the first wave to the present, about twenty minutes, two meters wide, almost 10,000 meters long, 20,000 square meters of animal tide?

Even if there are enough tramplings and killings, there are 20,000 beasts per square meter, and this wave is too terrifying.

Elan said to the people on the side,

"Let's go and see if Master Mubi is awake, and say that I have something to say. ”

After a while, the herald arrived with Wang Mubi and Merlin.

Although Wang Mubi was tired and fainted, because of his quick recovery, he had already woken up at this moment, and when he heard the words of the herald, he hurriedly rushed over.

"What's the situation now?" asked about the battle situation as soon as Wang Mubi arrived.

"It's ok, but the problem below is extremely serious. Eren sighed.

"Tell me about it. Merlin answered.

"There are 20,000, I estimate, 20,000, but it's definitely more than that, because there are so many small ones. Eren said his calculations.

“...... You worry about the resilience of the soldiers. Wang Mubi said.

"Yes, I don't think the fighting spirit can last so long. Eren frowned, thinking about a solution.

"yes, it definitely won't last long, so we need to rotate and take the lead, Elian, me and Merlin, will always be here, with us all the time, their psychological pressure will be a little better, but you have to take good control of the rotation time, this determines our final duration. Wang Mubi reminded.

"Well, I will, but I'm worried that it's going to be late today. Eren continued.

"Well, once it gets dark, we can't fight here at all, there's too much night blindness. Luoxue Town is located in the north, and there are no particularly large rivers around, so there are not many fish, and there is no large-scale animal breeding, so there is no way to engage in animal liver, and there is almost no solution to night blindness.

"Adjust to two teams of city defense, one team to rest, one team to provide vision, and one team to resist. Merlin suggested.

"It's not the problem, it's not just the problem, I'm worried that there are casualties. "Ai Lian has also thought about it, but in this way, it is too dangerous, and if the person with the torch does not stand forward, the guards will not be able to see under the city wall, and it will be easy to be caught if they step forward. This is a paradoxical question.

"Isn't it okay to stick it directly on the city wall?" Wang Mubi asked a question that was rather uncommonable.

Merlin and Ellen looked at each other and said,

"It will be extinguished, and once it is extinguished, ignition will be extremely dangerous, which must be avoided. ”

Wang Mubi sneered, this was something he didn't expect, but Wang Mubi immediately thought of it, adding a protective cover, but think about it carefully, the wild boar can even arch through the iron door, not to mention the lampshade.

"After that, I got up at night and went to bed during the day. Wang Mubi suddenly fell asleep.

"No, I can't. Merlin objected directly.

"Why? I get up at night and give them the light, and besides, we need to arrange for the night, so I guess I'm the best person. Wang Mubi said.

"What about the daytime decisions? Merlin vehemently disagreed.

"You guys take care of it, and then wake me up if there's something particularly important. ”

"And what about those things?" Wang Qiangbi understood, and Merlin was talking about gunpowder.

"I'll put Erin Ella in charge of this, they're reliable enough, and Collistor will help them, so there's no need to worry. Wang Mubi said.

"But......" Merlin was about to say more, and Wang Mobi interrupted,

"Okay, that's it, this is the best way to reduce casualties, otherwise, once the casualties are too high at night, it will affect morale, and it will lead to the reluctance of soldiers to shift at night, and finally the morale will decline, a vicious circle. Wang Mubi made a conclusion and no longer gave room for rebuttal, Merlin had no choice but to say,

"Then I..."

"No!" Wang interrupted again,

"You are the person I trust the most, you can control the situation, if there is any accident during the day, you need Merlin to solve it, so you and I must stagger it. ”

"......" Merlin kept his head down and did not speak.

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel, although I also think that it would be better for adults to lead during the day, but it is true that the attribute of holy light is more suitable for night. Elian said as neutrally as possible.

"Hmm. Merlin said unwillingly.

"Okay, that's how things are decided, Ailian, you go and continue to command, take advantage of the early time, rotate a few more times, and boil out their resilience. ”

"Then my lord is going to rest now, ready for the night battle?" Elian suggested.

"No, I have to give these soldiers a little confidence first, after all, there are too many monsters. Wang Mubi took Merlin and went to the warehouse.

In the warehouse, Ella Erin counts the gunpowder. When I saw Wang Mubi, I hurriedly said,

"Master, why are you awake?"

"Go and rest!"

Wang Mubi smiled and said,

"Elian was looking for me just now, and I'm just coming to you when I'm done. ”

Wang Mubi looked at the wooden barrels lined up, which were filled with gunpowder, some divided into large piles, some divided into small piles.

There are still quite a lot of materials from Ore Town, and in the end more than four carts of gunpowder were made, but, after seeing the number of today's terrifying beast tide, Wang Mubi also had palpitations, and gradually understood that kind of despair, according to Merlin's intelligence, it took about half a day for those monsters to gather, considering the previous situation, those monsters are gathering more and more slowly, and in the future, the number will also decrease, but even so, it is still difficult, a very simple truth, even if it is 20,000 pigs, stand still and let you kill 300 people at the same time, you have to kill them all, you have to kill at least six pigs per person, but the problem is, these monsters, After being strengthened, it is far more tricky than a pig, and it has a strong aggressiveness, and it may take a lot of effort to kill one, so it seems that there is no way to clean up more than 20,000 beasts on the first day, and in fact, so far, the real cause of death of those beasts, except for the wave of holy light and Merlin's ice cubes in Wang Mubi's pen, what really caused the monster's death is actually from their own trampling.

"Erin Ella, we need to think about how to kill these monsters. Wang Mubi was worried.

"With gunpowder, didn't the master decide?" Ella wondered.

"Now it seems that we don't have enough gunpowder. Wang Mubi analyzed,

"On the first day, it took half a day to assemble, and the actual number of beasts should be far more than 20,000, and the assembly time should be extended on the second day, but I estimate that the assembly will be completed at noon tomorrow, and then rush again, maybe a little less, but it is estimated that there will be at least 20,000 monsters, then on the fourth day, the scope of the assembly will inevitably expand again, at this time, the assembly time must be far beyond now, at that time, it may be our respite. In other words, from now on, by the fourth day when the monsters are assembled, we will face more than 40,000 beasts, or even more than 50,000. This number is too terrifying, no wonder it takes three thousand heavily armed warriors to garrison the fortress, this number is really too exaggerated. ”

Merlin also said,

"Not only that, if we destroy the beast slowly, the beast's battle line will also be expanded horizontally, now thanks to the fact that we have killed a lot of vanguards, plus the morale of the fighters is still quite high, so the actual battle line is more than two hundred meters, but as time goes by, the battle line will only get wider and wider, if we can't keep up with the killing in the end, even this battle line may break through three hundred meters. ”

"Once we have broken through 300 meters, we are seriously understaffed. We have a core combat force of only 70 people, plus the soldiers who have been arranged to cooperate, there are only 100 people, two meters per person, which is already very difficult, if we continue, I am afraid that something will happen. Wang Mu said.

In other words, gunpowder is now used. Erin understood.

"Yes, Erin, you go and arrange, use the trebuchet to start attacking the middle of the beast tide. Ella, you go to Li Xiaoer and arrange manpower to find sulfur ore and nitrate ore here. After doing this, you go to help Ailian, and the gunpowder will be handed over to your sisters, try to save it, and try to launch it into the middle of the beast tide, so that it will be convenient for them to go crazy and have civil strife. Merlin, I went to rest and woke me up at night when I changed shifts. "After Wang Mubi finished explaining, he could finally continue to sleep, the consumption of playing holy light before was too intense, and Wang Mubi was also doing things strongly.

"Well, you go and rest. Merlin nodded, although his own consumption was also very strong, but the main thing he consumed was the magic power of the demon source. As the witch's ultimate weapon, the recovery speed of the magic source is also extremely amazing, so now, although I can't amplify the move in a short period of time, my state is still good.

Irene was puzzled when she heard Wang Mubi's words,

"What shift?"

"I'll be in charge of the night battles in the future, and Merlin and they will be in charge of the day. Wang Mubi said simply.

"What? how can this be!" Irene was momentarily reluctant.

"There's nothing to do, it's just decided, the holy light on my side is more suitable for the night environment, otherwise, the night consumption will be too great, and it will be easy to shake the army's heart. Wang Mubi did not give the two maids a chance to refute.

"But what about the master's meal?" Ella asked another question.

"Well, I really didn't think about it, so let's divide the people in the cooking class into two groups, and transfer a few more to help, and be in charge of the night's food. I almost forgot about it, but Wang Mubi was glad that Ella had asked herself.

"That's not the point, the point is that the master is not who will preside over the overall situation?" Erin's focus is different from Ella's.

"You, Ailian, Merlin, Li Shanhe. That's definitely enough. Wang Mubi said.

"No, Li Shanhe went to the evening shift. Merlin said at this point.

"Well, no, I think it's better for Li Shanhe to work in the day shift, because you are inexperienced. ”

"But you're too short of people over there, you're almost alone. Merlin didn't want to take the risk.

"One person is enough, my holy light is not as effective as the few of you combined, and when it comes to the use of gunpowder and other things, you are better than me?" Wang Mubi was not polite at all, but the Holy Light was indeed far more effective than other things, and the effect was greater at this time.

"Well, needless to say, no matter what, with the Holy Light, I am the best choice at this time. ”

After finishing the arrangement, Wang Mubi returned to his room and could finally sleep well.

......

At the wall of the dark fortress, Collistor was building a catapult, and everyone was sweeping the monsters, watching Cleistol's movements, not knowing what this wooden machine was for.

After a while, Collistor finished building, carefully examined it, adjusted the arc again, clapped his hands, and motioned to Erin, and it was done.

Erin instructed a few people to carry a large wooden ball with a long lead hanging from it.

At the beginning, Wang Bamboo Pen felt that it was better to use iron balls, but it was still that problem, the raw materials were not enough, and under the development of black technology, Wang Bamboo Pen found that with the combination of Collistol and Zhang Mazi and Merlin, you can use arc skates to carry out precise processing, which is very powerful, for example, car beads, now, it can already be done, and the most exaggerated thing is not this, because Zhang Mazi's talent, when cutting wood, the knife is not worn, combined with Merlin's talent, this is really invincible, Merlin can change the shape of the knife at will, a lot of incredible knives, for Merlin, just waved his hand and made it.

And Zhang Mazi does not wear out the knife, resulting in a lot of impossible knife transportation, will be stuck knife transportation route, in Zhang Mazi's hands, there is no flaw, what is even more exaggerated is that Merlin can also change the shape of the blade in the middle of the knife movement.

Coupled with Collistoll's precise machining, this combination is invincible.

But now it is still in the car beads, the big round ball in front of me is the result, Wang Mubi can guarantee that this big round ball is now the roundest ball in the world, can be used as a round ball. But Wang Mubi is sleeping at this moment, and he can't see this scene anymore.

Collistol and the others adjusted the angle, lit the wooden ball, and immediately released the trebuchet.

With a "bang", the wooden ball flew high and threw itself into the middle of the beast tide.

When others were wondering if there was something wrong with the ball,

"Bang !!" shook the mountain, and everyone standing on the dark fortress was almost unstable, and the sleeping Wang Mubi was also awakened, but Wang Mubi, who reacted immediately, covered the pillow and fell asleep, well, isn't it just a gunpowder explosion, Wang Mubi is glad that he doesn't have to face their questions above, it's still good to think about it.

The dark fortress is still like this, and the beast tide is even more terrifying, the huge air wave will blow up the black tide into a blank, and then the black blood splashes around, dyeing this blank again, the beasts within a range of hundreds of meters are in pain and wailing, in the wooden ball, according to the requirements of Wang Mubi, mixed with a large number of rusty iron beads, at this time exploded, the rusty iron beads rode the air waves, easily into the body of the monster, the monster group fell into chaos, the pain made them attack indiscriminately according to instinct, for a while, the middle of the entire monster group, were paralyzed.

"Okay!" After seeing such an effect, Li Yu cheered loudly.

Collistol, Li Xiaoer, these people, Wang Mubi protected quite well, Li Yu didn't know what they did, but at this time, seeing the results of gunpowder, he couldn't help cheering loudly, and the soldiers couldn't help but be confident when they saw such a scene, and they worked harder to resist the monster's siege.

Ai Lian was also shocked by this exaggerated effect, but in fact, this level is a matter of course, because it is the first experiment, in fact, Wang Mubi has not been very sure about how much to use, so in the end they wrapped a bomb the size of an iron pot, this weight is indeed suitable to surprise everyone.
