Chapter 744: Refusal
Cheng Yang was originally staying in Yuanhu's garrison waiting for his army to arrive, but before he could sit down, he heard the news that the barbarians were raiding in the direction of the Suez Canal.
Cheng Yang's mood was not good in an instant, these barbarians were simply too non-stop, couldn't they fight step by step?
In desperation, Cheng Yang had no choice but to move, he had to go to intercept those barbarians in person. If the barbarians really let the Suez Canal occupy, they will be the ones who have a headache.
Cheng Yang rode Xiaobai, running in the direction of the Suez Canal, and on the other hand, he contacted the territory and asked Wu Jianzhou to organize a group of archers in order to intercept the barbarians who were coming.
The eastern part of the state of Egypt is small in size and has a narrower east-west span. It only took Cheng Yang more than ten minutes to stand on the bank of the Suez Canal.
This canal, which was famous in the world before the end of the world, has become different after the end of the world, the river is still the same river, and the width is only this wide, but the water of this river is not the same as before.
In the past, Cheng Yang also saw news about the changes in the Suez Canal on the forum.
The former Suez Canal, while perhaps crystal clear, was not a stinky ditch either. But now the Suez Canal is not even as good as a stinky ditch, because it has completely become a river of death.
The water in the entire river takes on a piercing dark yellow color and emits a foul smell. These are relatively normal, the key is that there are dense heads and dry bones floating on the surface of the river......
The locals have a more apt ear name for the current Suez Canal, the River of Yellow Springs, referred to as Yellow Springs.
This river not only smells disgusting and scary to look at, but more importantly, it has extremely corrosive properties, and its power is no weaker than the moat that Cheng Yang saw outside those orc cities in Levin Country at the beginning.
So far, the Egyptians have not found any kind of ship that can sail on the Yellow Springs River, which runs on the east and west sides of the Suez Canal. Completely dependent on two huge and sturdy stone bridges over the river.
In fact, the various powers of the Egyptian state had previously considered relying on the Suez Canal as a moat to resist the invasion of the barbarians. However, as several stories of barbarian battles popped up on the forum, the warlords of Egypt completely gave up their determination to resist, because even if the barbarians had just invaded a country, their armies still had fifth-order powerhouses in their ranks.
With the current strength of the Egyptian State, how could it be possible to resist the attack of a fifth-order powerhouse? The two are not at the same level at all.
Cheng Yang is looking at the river now, but he is very satisfied. Such a river can at least make it a lot less difficult to defend yourself.
Cheng Yang marked a teleportation gem, then returned to Luofeng City and brought over the only fortress builder in the territory. After some exploration, the construction drawings of the fortress were made.
Of course, only two forts have been built in this place, and their purpose is to prevent barbarians from rushing through the two giant stone bridges.
This defense is only partial, because no one dares to guarantee that the barbarians will have no means to cross this river of yellow springs. Once the barbarians do get through those places, it becomes a great trouble.
On the one hand, people were asked to prepare materials and block the two bridges first.
This would at least ensure that the barbarian cavalry that the other side was now rushing towards would not be able to cross the river.
He really didn't believe it anymore. Those ironclad beasts really have iron armor, which can resist the corrosion of the water of the Yellow Spring.
As long as the vanguard army of the barbarians is blocked, and the barbarians in the rear catch up, it will already be after tomorrow. At that time, Cheng Yang had already made all preparations, so naturally he didn't have to worry about the barbarian attack.
The fortress builder then returned to Luofeng City, and he needed to go back to get the drawings and bring the construction materials with him. Cheng Yang himself needed to occupy a station on the west side of the Suez Canal. Then an official road across the Suez Canal could be built, so that the fortress could be built here.
The occupation of the garrison was not complicated, after Cheng Yang met with a lord who was immediately adjacent to the Suez Canal. The other party was grateful to Dade for giving Cheng Yang his station. Immediately afterwards, an official road was built on the east side of this station, which was connected to the station occupied by Cheng Yang before.
Soon after, the fortress builder came over with two blueprints and a few storage rings, and then he got all the materials out of the storage rings and built two fortresses in the first place.
This is not those low-level fortresses before, their level has reached level eight, and their eight-zhang high city wall is enough to make any warrior daunting, even if it is the current Cheng Yang, he doesn't dare to say that he can easily jump to eight zhang high, not to mention that there are defenders on the city wall to block it.
After these two fortresses were completed, Cheng Yang was immediately relieved.
He first teleported the Demon Illusion to one, and then had the archers in the realm already prepared to teleport to the fortress. Although he could only teleport ten every ten minutes using teleportation gems, Cheng Yang was still prepared to teleport some people over first just in case.
The two fortresses were only four or five kilometers apart, and they could work together with each other. However, for safety, Cheng Yang still built two arrow towers and a magic tower in each fortress, and with such a deployment, Cheng Yang was a lot more relieved.
With the range of the arrow tower, it is quite capable of threatening the opposite side of the Suez Canal, which is an absolute nightmare for the barbarians.
After Cheng Yang arranged the things in these two fortresses, he began to search the area on the east side, firstly, he was to familiarize himself with the terrain in this area and prepare for the next fortifications, and secondly, he wanted to find out if there were any barbarian camps nearby.
The Barbarian Camp is a type of building that corresponds to the Orc Village, and is also used for teleportation. However, there is one thing that Cheng Yang needs to prove, that is, whether there can be teleportation between the barbarian camp and the orc village.
If it can be teleported, it will be a good thing for Luofeng City, Cheng Yang can completely bring a large number of Luofeng City's troops to Egypt in a relatively short period of time, and even if there is any abnormality at that time, Cheng Yang can also deal with it in time.
Of course, if you can't teleport, you'll have to walk on two feet. Now although a lot of war horses have been cultivated in Luofeng City, the cultivation speed of war horses cannot keep up with the speed of development in Luofeng City, especially the great expansion of the main army, which has made war horses completely scarce. Every time a war horse is slaughtered, several main army corps will rush to ask for it.
According to Cheng Yang's estimate, it is unlikely that the orc village and the barbarian camp can teleport to each other, after all, the two do not belong to the same race, do they? (To be continued.) )
