Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Good Idea for Repairing the Walls

I don't know how long it took for Naxi to wake up from his coma. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a somewhat dim surroundings and the low eaves. The flickering candlelight and the still burning fire gave the walls a twisted shadow.

When he realized that this was the location of the Temporary Headquarters, he remembered that he had fainted after the battle. He also subconsciously touched his forehead, and his last memory was that he suddenly fell headlong into the crumbling rubble.

To his surprise, his forehead, which he thought might be injured by this, did not have any wounds, and was as intact as usual. Unaware of the unconscious Naxi, the wound on his forehead had healed while he was unconscious, and this terrifying healing power came from the mysterious power of the magical codex on his body.

While Naxi was unconscious, the Magic Codex emitted a ghostly light that was invisible to others, erasing all the wounds and pain on Naxi's body.

"Captain, you've finally woken up!" Sukos, who was waiting on the sidelines, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Naxi wake up, "After you fainted in the afternoon, you scared me to death." Chief Orlov is also very anxious, for fear that something will happen to you......"

Just as Naxi was about to scramble to his feet, Sukos had already stood up and turned to pour a glass of water. The subordinate, who admired Naxi incomparably, handed the water at just the right temperature to Naxi: "Chief Orlov said, if you hadn't behaved so heroically today, we wouldn't have won so easily. I said, aren't you a magician, how can you behave more courageously than Camp Commander Orlov. ”

Nashi didn't want to answer Sukos's question, so he took the cup and took a few sips. With an extremely dry throat, he could be sure that he would not have been able to drink during his coma. Because even the military doctor could not find out the reason for Naxi's fainting, Orlov did not dare to mess around, and he instructed Sukos to take care of Naxi. If Naxi loses its combat effectiveness like this, it is possible that the entire border guard regiment will not be able to stop the next attack of the Bavarians. Orloff now finally appreciates how important a mature magician is to combat.

"What's going on out there now?" asked Naxi, who took a long breath, about the battle outside. He knew very well that a wall that had collapsed like that would not be able to hold off a second wave of attack, but thinking about his current situation, he was sure that at least Probez was safe for now.

"The Bavarians haven't bothered us since they retreated. It's snowing outside. There was snow everywhere, and I don't think they would attack again for a while. Sukos said confidently, picking up the dry bread that had been set aside, stuffing it into his mouth and biting it hard.

Although Sukos knew that it was snowing outside, Naxi was still worried. What if the snow stopped, the Bavarians, who already had siege experience, would surely launch an even more ferocious offensive. In any case, the border guards had to repair the damaged walls, otherwise it would be dangerous to wait until the next attack.

Thinking of this, Naxi scrambled and planned to go out to see the repair of the city wall, but he was held down by Sukos, who was waiting on the side: "Captain, what are you doing here?"

"I'm fine. Nashi shook Sukos' hand away, "I'm going out and have a look."

"Ahh You don't have to worry about it, Captain. Sukos nibbled on another bite of the hardwood-like bread, "Commander Orlov has already led the others to repair the city walls, and he specially told me when he left, so that you don't have to worry about this matter." ”

"Why don't you worry about it, I'm also a member of the border regiment, okay. Naxi picked up the magic wand that had been placed aside, pushed the door open, and stepped out into the snow.

After destroying the eastern wall at its worst, Orlov mobilized almost all of his men to repair the destroyed wall. In order to fortify these precarious areas, Orloff commanded his men to remove the stones that had been thrown in by trebuchets during the day. Prepare to be used as material for piling up ruined walls.

Some of the town's young men were also driven out to take on the responsibility of maintaining the city's defenses, and most of them were assigned to do something that puzzled Naxi, which was to carry water. Looking at the inhabitants of Probez who were carrying water to the eastern wall in the snow, Naxi felt a little incredible.

"What the hell are people going to do in this winter?" Questioning, Naxi decided to go to the city gate to see what was going on.

When it came to the gap in the walls of Probez, where the battle was fiercest today. Naxi found that in addition to piling stones and bricks on this section of the crumbling wall, some of the soldiers of the border guard regiment kept stuffing snowflakes and watering it.

"What the hell are we doing?" asked Nash, walking straight to Orlov's side, somewhat puzzled.

"Ah, it's Naxi!" Orlov was surprised that Naxi came, "why don't you lie down for a while." Although Laura doesn't know why you fainted, he has told you to get some rest. ”

"No, I'm fine now. Nasi stood at Orlov's side. After observing for a while, he finally found out why the fighters of the border regiment poured water on the stones.

"This ...... It's a fantastic idea, who came up with such a brilliant method. Naxi found that in some places the stones were already frozen, and that the ice on the stones was getting thicker and thicker after being watered. At the bottom, the stones and bricks have been firmly frozen into one piece by ice.

"It was an idea that I discussed with my brothers from several other battalions. Olof smiled rarely, and the pride on his face was something Nashi had never seen before.

"Originally, to repair this broken wall, you had to find a serious stonemason to be reliable. But with the current situation, not to mention the border regiment, even Probez could not find a few reliable stonemasons. Even if we were to build it ourselves, we don't know how long it would take to finish repairing the broken walls. Therefore, after discussing it for a while, several people came up with such a solution. ”

Naxi also nodded and said, "That's right, we caught up with the good weather, and it was still snowing heavily. Stuff some snow into the cracks of the stones, and pour water on them to freeze the stones into pieces. That's a brilliant idea. ”

Because ice can play a role in shaping, as long as there is no problem with the stacking between the stones and the bricks, the snow stuffed in the cracks of the water will completely freeze the stones and bricks. Such a simple job was not much of a difficulty for the soldiers of the 2nd Frontier Regiment at all, and some of the gaps had even been repaired.

Seeing the busy appearance of everyone, Nahiyin, who has an active mind, came up with an idea that extended from this.

"Let's just do that, let's put a thick layer of ice on the outside of the city walls!" Naxi's smile was a little evil, "We just need to keep the ice outside the city about twenty meters deep, if we don't pay attention when attacking, those Bavarians will throw on it." ”

"Oh, that's a good idea. Olof agreed with Naxi's suggestion, and he immediately said to the soldiers, who were already finishing, "Go and fetch more water, and we'll have to put a layer of ice outside the city to make the Bavarians suffer." (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you for my comment on being a passerby, what you said is on point. Some of the adventure party will be talked about later in the story, and I did think a lot less about the initial arrangement. The original idea was to write an adventure, and most of the ideas came up later. So this work looks a little distorted and illogical, and I'm sorry here. I hope that other book friends will also give more opinions.
