Chapter 80: Preparing for War
Who is the Mother of Isis? Langdon's mother, and a good mother.
She never disliked him because of his "mongrel" status, she loved him more than all three of his sisters since he was a child, she sent more guards around him than all three of his sisters combined, she was always able to grant him all his wishes, and even when he did all kinds of things out of the ordinary, she would finish him perfectly and not hesitate to start a war.
All of this shows that the Isis mistress is indeed a good mother to Langdon, and even a little too good.
These are all from those memories, of course, they can't be faked, and Langdon has never doubted its authenticity, and because of this, although Langdon has also wondered why such a good mother would only give him a few "rotten people" and throw him into this kind of ghost place, but it is just a punishment made by a mother who is too disappointed in her son who is not successful, and never thinks about anything more, so he has never thought that he is actually just a pawn in his mother's hand.
However, I didn't think it was that important, at least for now, because Langdon had never wanted to borrow the power of the Isis Mistress, whether it was military or intelligence, and since the Isis Mistress would throw him here in this near-banishment method, it was clear that he was left to fend for himself.
If he were to be the previous one, when he couldn't hold on, he would probably sneak back cheekily and find the "good mother" in his impression, hoping that she would be able to take back her life and keep him by his side.
And the current Langdon would never do this, not only because he didn't know that well with the "mother-sama", but also because his self-esteem didn't allow him to do such a shameful thing.
Therefore, Langdon was destined not to know in advance that there was an army of 500 men coming.
However, that doesn't mean he's defenseless.
While digging the waterway, Langdon deliberately made a big circle and dug a moat around the town of Yuanwang.
The width of the diversion channel is less than 5 meters, and the depth is only 2 meters, which is the size of a canal, but the moat is 10 meters wide and 5 meters deep, which is of course to protect Yuanwang Town.
For this reason, Langdon also temporarily stopped the manufacture of windmills, gathered a large amount of wood, and made three large suspension bridges, the principle of this thing is not much more complicated than the windmill, the only trouble is the rope for the noose, first of all, it must be long enough, and tough enough, for this reason, Langdon specially sent someone to run to the stalagmite area, and collected a large amount of black wood back.
The black wood is very tough, especially the bark, which is much tougher than the inner core, and it is the bark of the black wood that Langdon wants, which is very suitable for the rope used to make the noose.
It was a lot of trouble, and Langdon tried to get Nolan to do it, and he was able to twist the rope, but it was obviously not long enough, and Nolan couldn't do it when it came to connecting the rope.
Not only should the connection be tight enough that it will never loosen, but the joint should be small enough not to affect the whole rope, if it is in another world, it can be done directly with a machine, and in this world, all this needs to be done by hand.
So, the only one who can do this is Langdon.
"Avina, stop your experiments and come and help. Langdon pushed open the door of the alchemy studio and walked in, and there were only three people who could come and go at will, Langdon Avina and Hogg, and by the way, Lilith's eldest sister.
"Hey, my lordship, are you ...... What are you?" Avina asked curiously, as she watched Langdon walk in with a large bundle of black rumbling things.
"You'll understand when I'm done, now come and help, do you have Bogu acid there? and Qinghe powder and Kalamin resin?" Langdon didn't go to the workbench, moved a small stool and sat down in the corner, swinging the pile of black bark that had been processed in front of him, talking to Avina as he got busy.
"These materials ......" Avina was even more surprised, in fact, such a surprise had already occurred twice, once when Langdon was very familiar with Corona ginger, and the other time, Langdon pulled her to refine the kind of alchemical creation that could put the spirit sucker into a coma for a long time, and this time it was even more surprising because it ......
"I know these materials are only available in the overworld, so that's why I asked you. Langdon said.
"Yes, yes, but I don't have much. Avina said with a steady.
"It doesn't take too much, 30 grams of sheet resin is enough, and the other two only need 20 grams each. "Langdon is already working.
"These have. Avina replied.
"Okay, you go and prepare the ingredients now, I say, you do, take 5 grams of flake resin first, heat and melt ......"
The alchemy studio quickly became busy.
On the other side, after finishing the waterway, the workers rested for two days and followed suit, some of them were pulled to cut down logs and make the deck of the drawbridge, while the rest continued to dig the waterway.
The previous waterway can only be counted as the first phase of the water conservancy project in the Yamas area, and the next one is the second and third phases......
The large number of fields, and the spread out of dozens of fields, required a complete water circulation system, which can only be achieved by dozens of waterways and dozens of windmills, although each waterway is not that long, but the project is not simple at all.
On the other hand, the excavation progress of the mine has not been left behind, and there are enough production tools, so, under the orders of Langdon, the blacksmith shop began to turn to the production of weapons.
First of all, the lizardman spearman's spear, of course, not all, black wood is not suitable for spear point, but it is suitable for making spear body, much better than many metals, and the lizardman spearman has adapted to the grip of this material, so until the next most suitable material is found, Langdon is not ready to change the grip, so the blacksmith only builds the spear point.
There are also bows and arrows, the walls of Yuanwang Town are not high, but they are definitely not low, and people can walk on them, which is why Langdon intends to dig a moat, and these two together create a good environment for bows and arrows.
Langdon is not in dire need of a group of soldiers who can handle it now, so no matter how loyal Cazvito and his men are, they will first forcibly train a group of lizardmen spearmen.
Now it's different, those soldiers who have just been collected and converted are not loyal enough, and Langdon will not let them change classes immediately, but let them continue their original profession first, until their loyalty is enough.
Therefore, at present, Langdon has a full 100 lizardmen soldiers under him, and after his selection, these 100 lizardmen are all archers.
Langdon really didn't know the information, but he had been preparing it all along.
Because Langdon knows very well that no matter what he wants to do, survival is always the most important thing.
