Chapter 68: Strengthening the City Defenses
"What? There are robbers, how many are there, damn it, what are the specifics. Chi Nan's originally happy mood disappeared all of a sudden. At this time, the others were also silent.
The worker, who was being watched by everyone, took a step back in fear, and then said cautiously: "Yes, that's right, after someone discovered the robber before, Lord Muka asked me to inform you. I also only knew that there were robbers, I don't know the specifics. Master Muka has already sent someone to investigate, and should get the news soon. ”
Chi Nan frowned, suddenly turned his head to one leg and said, "Home, you take them, bring our new weapons, just come and test the performance of the weapons this time." ”
After finishing speaking, Chi Nan turned his head: "You come with me, let's go to the fortress and have a look." "The so-called fortress is nothing more than a wall that has not yet been completed. The workers hurriedly bowed and carefully led the way.
Without thinking about it, he said to the others, "Follow me, bring your weapons, and let's go." "This is the back of the castle, the weapons are all in front of the castle, as long as you take a few more steps, you will soon be able to keep up with Chi Nan's footsteps.
Each person carries two, this strange shape is really weird. Walking on the road, many people are pointing fingers, and now they don't know that the robbers are coming.
The town was not very far from the fortress, but in less than twenty minutes, the group came to the bottom of the city walls.
The city wall is just like what Kanan said, just a skeleton made of wood, and then stones are placed in it. No binder was used in the middle, but the crevices of the stone were filled with soil.
From a distance, it looks like an earthen wall. The stones here are not specially processed, and they are available in all shapes. If it weren't for the complexity of the surrounding wooden frames, I'm afraid the wall would have fallen on its own. At this time, there are still many workers around who are busy, but every worker looks very worried.
"My lord, why are you here in person, we can take care of the affairs here. ”
Seeing Lao Muka trotting over, Chi Nan quickly stepped forward: "Can I not come, such a big thing, I don't feel at ease if I don't come over to see it in person." Besides, we don't have much combat power in our territory right now. ”
Chi Nan was still a little uncomfortable with Lao Muka's etiquette, and they didn't listen to him many times. If they are forced to obey, they will be scared to death, and if there are too many times, Chi Nan can only let it go.
This kind of class concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this world, and it is impossible to change it by virtue of its own strength. At most, it can only make these people closer to themselves, and that's it.
As he walked forward, Chi Nan asked, "What the hell is going on, where are those robbers coming from?" ”
Lao Muka didn't think about it and said, "I have already sent someone to investigate, and there are indeed many robbers. The leader is the Black Skull Bandits, which was defeated and driven away by the Devil Bandits last time, and it seems that this time it is going to fight back. The Black Skull bandits have entangled many people this time, and they don't know where they are, but they seem to be menacing. ”
"However, if you want to enter our Red Sand Ridge, so many people can only enter from the front, and there are only two entrances in other directions, which is not suitable for so many people to enter, let alone the Death Forest behind. ”
Chi Nan nodded, there are indeed three entrances on this side of Hongsha Ridge, which he summed up.
One of them, the path he took when he came, could only be used by very few people. The other one is similar, even more difficult to walk. These two intersections are very easy to block.
The last one is the middle road, although this road is not very easy to walk, and there are many turns, but this road is relatively spacious after all, and it is also the most commonly used in Hongshaling.
As for the Forest of Death behind, there is no difference between entering it and looking for death, it is better to walk on a small path. Even if it is a robber, he will never dare to take a detour. It is because the road here is not easy to walk, so Hongshaling has not developed for so many years. There are no specialties here, but it is close to the Death Forest, who wants to build roads for this place.
"How many robbers there are. Chi Nan looked up and looked ahead.
Lao Mka immediately said: "The exact number of these workers will not be counted, but according to the description they said, there are at least a hundred of these bandits, and there may be two or three hundred. ”
"Why are there so many, the demon bandit group was only twenty people at the beginning. Chi Nan was surprised.
Lao Muka said naturally: "The demon bandit group takes the elite route, and there is also a formal knight commander, so the number is small. Even if the Black Skull Bandits were defeated once, they must have numbered quite a bit. Moreover, this time there may be many peripheral bandits and small bandit groups to join. ”
Old Muka hesitated for a moment, and then said: "For the sake of a territory, these bandit groups may unite with each other, and now the Black Skull bandit group only thinks that they can defeat them, so there are so few people." If we don't hurt them this time, there will be more robbers in the future, and we will probably be even less of their opponents. ”
Even so, Lao Mka had to rely on the walls here to defend itself.
"Don't worry, we have a new weapon, and we're sure they'll die as much as they want. This time, they will never dare to come to our attention again. By the way, how about the strength of this wall. ”
Old Muka frowned, and then said: "My lord, the city wall has only been built for a few days, although the simplest method is used, it is only one layer, which is far worse than the three layers you said. Moreover, the walls are not very strong. ”
The original plan of Chinan, but to build three layers of walls on top of each other, now there is only one floor, and the middle gate is still empty, and there is nothing. The second layer of the city wall, which has only just been dug and has not yet begun to be built, has not yet begun to be built.
"One layer, that's not bad, let's strengthen this layer first. Chi Nan stepped forward and waved his hand to scatter a handful of seeds. The light flickered, and the seeds suddenly sprouted and grew, and countless grass roots appeared, which were the improved tripping horse grass. Under the control of Chinan, the grass roots firmly fixed the soil and stones, and suddenly the city wall became very hard.
On the surface, there is also a layer of green leaves, after all, these tripping horses are meant to grow for a long time. I stepped forward and tried it, although the strength of this city wall is not as good as the regular city wall, but it is not much worse.
