Chapter 30: The End of Saka
The situation in Saka Town is very miserable, the houses on the north side are basically demolished to the ground, and the south side is also mostly broken and ruined, although there are a few trebuchets that can hit here, but some of the earth and stone bullets can roll! Anyone who has played bowling knows how spectacular the scene is once that heavy thing rolls up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Clumsy zombies suffer the heaviest casualties, who let them walk without looking up. The monsters in the south were either skinned by the sun and fought for the remaining buildings, or they left the city and went to rest on the other side of the river.
At night, the power demon is at its most active. But the town of Saka was 'peaceful', and the bombardment of less than ten seconds, far and near, lasted all night.
And the "Chengbei Toll Station", which should have been full of fire, turned out to be dark today. All the adventurers suddenly disappeared. Only Niu Ida was busy with hundreds of dog heads, nervously operating the catapults that had increased to thirty-two.
Because tomorrow, it will be a thunderous general attack.
The next morning, when it was still dark, a group of people suddenly poured out of the ground. Carrying countless huge wooden boxes and boards, they rushed to the moat north of the town of Saka. Soon, the crates were strung together by ropes and thrown into the river, and the able-bodied men jumped on the wooden crates on the surface of the water, using ladders and sticks as oars, and in less than a minute they brought the other end of the string of crates to the city walls of Saka, which had now been destroyed into a heap of rubble.
With the full cooperation of a group of adventurers, several sturdy pontoon bridges were erected. Immediately afterwards, the planks began to be erected, and the ballistas and punch trucks were also ready to rush across the pontoon bridge at any time.
The attack was so sudden, the demons did not respond effectively at all, and by the time dozens of demons gathered the zombies together, there were already rows of ballistas and rushing carts in the north of the city, and hundreds of adventurers were hiding behind.
On the other side, the dogheads briefly stopped firing, and under the guidance of Ushiida, they disassembled the equipment, then moved to the front of the moat and continued to assemble.
Such a tasteless tactic was naturally made up by Niu Ida.
He first told the adventurers to occupy the northernmost line of the town, set up a ballista and rush cart, and at this time as a cover, he used the maximum range of the catapult to shoot a half-hanging bullet curtain to block the demon's attack - apparently the other party was not sleeping enough to even respond.
Now that the adventurer had taken a foothold, he dismantled the catapult, moved 200 meters forward, assembled it, and continued to bombard indiscriminately.
Niu Ida estimated that those adventurers didn't have to do anything, they would squat in place for a day and night to play poker and soak in noodles, and the south of the city could be demolished, and tomorrow the demons would bask in the sun again, and the battle would be stable.
He calculates that there are two most effective ways for demons to deal with them:
Method 1: Gather a force behind Ushiida, and then Ushiida comes over.
This is more difficult, these days adventurers in order to save points for cloaks, but around the various strongholds, it is difficult to gather enough demons in a day's journey.
The second way is that the demon gathers a team, goes out from the south gate, circles the town, and kills the north gate. Now the catapult is basically placed on the flat ground, and in addition to a circle of deer villages around, there is no protection.
This is also easy to do, the catapult is not wanted, and the dog head is directly returned to the toll booth. Let the adventurer occupy the south of the city, everyone will play a change tactic, and then the adventurer will swallow the stone river bridge, the two sides attack and defend each other, you use the catapult to throw me well, and the old man's situation is almost the same, the game is very balanced.
The stone-throwing attack stopped, and everyone only felt that the whole world was quiet. Although adventurers don't like to squat very much, the tactics are like this, it's good to get used to it, and there are a lot of targets on the opposite side, so you can practice your shooting skills.
The demon is very uncomfortable. Now the zombies are so scattered that the terrain is so badly smashed that they have to spend a lot of time together. Several battles have proven that the priority target for humans is the guy who can drive away zombies, and there must be enough meat shield in front of them.
The problem is that their main meat shield is zombies, and the opposite side is constantly harassed with long-range weapons, and it is very difficult to control here, one after another, zombies are seduced out of the monster pile by human archers, and then abused, and after a few hours, the demon finds that all efforts are in vain, and it is impossible to make up enough zombie groups to satisfy themselves.
To add insult to injury, the trebuchet began to roar again, and the long-lost stone projectile smashed at the foot of the city wall south of the city, and this time, there was no safe place for the monsters to hide.
The demons chose the third tactic - to rush directly into the adventurers' defenses!
So the battle lasted only half an hour, and the town of Saka changed hands.
A long-awaited victory!
Countless adventurers burst into tears and laughed loudly, and the ruins of Saka Town were full of reveling humans.
Niu Ida flew back to the "toll booth", and this victory was a matter of course...... To be honest, he wasn't excited at all, and his mood was calm and even a little boring. The first thing that came to mind was how many demons could be used to recruit dog heads......
So I didn't go over to the scenery, and it was a little awkward to see the group of natives who were carnivaling.
Now that they have captured such an important demonic stronghold, the kobold forces have proven their worth and can appear on the surface in a bright light, although not too much, so as not to irritate the nerves of some guys.
And the leader on the surface is Tesfil, not Ushiida. But he doesn't care, his body is growing too slowly (in his own opinion), insecure, and leaving it to others.
It's been nearly two months since I came to this world, and now I have a certain level of mutual trust with the 'Brave Hill', and there are some issues between the two sides that it's time to sit down and talk.
In Oak Village, the Prophet, accompanied by Kemp, met with Tesfield, Niu Ida, and Xu Ping'an.
Simple greetings, the topic slowly began to deepen.
Prophet: "I wonder what Miss Mage's army of summoned creatures has to do next?"
Tesfil blinked his eyes wide, he didn't know what to say, but Xu Ping'an answered: "Kobolds are not good at fighting, they are even better at mining." We want to continue our offensive to the south, but winter is coming, and the kobolds need to keep warm. Therefore, we want to stay in the Thousand Caves Hills in winter, and we don't know much about the terrain south of the Swallowing Stone River. Do you have any advice?"
Everyone has discussed it before, no matter what, to occupy the land of the Thousand Caves and Hills, whether it is mining or self-preservation, it is the best choice. As for the demons of the South, take your time first.
"I have a map of the South here that I can share with you. The map is ...... here
"I have a proposal for the town of Saka and the newly built 'Chengnan Toll Gate', I don't know what you think......"
After chatting for a while, the prophet changed the topic and touched the core of both sides.
The so-called negotiations, the focus is on how to distribute the town of Saka, it is not only a choke point, but also involves the two sides to divide the territory and control of the adventurers, even if Niu Ida and others have great achievements, the 'hill of the brave' must also gnaw down a piece.
But then, the negotiations between the two parties went unexpectedly smoothly and a deal was quickly reached. The reason is simple, the interests of the kobold people are the interests of Niu Ida and others, and the conflict with the natives is very small - the abandonment of the orifice is my treasure.
Regarding the territory, the kobold and the human interest are different, Saka Town is a chicken rib to the doghead, if you want to occupy it, it will consume a lot of manpower, but there is no output - there can only be farming and fishing, but this business can be done at the doorstep, why bother to go far. As for other interests, there are many ways for the dog to cross the Swallowing Stone River, and he doesn't want to rely on the broken bridge under the noses of humans, so he is naturally not interested in the so-called "strategic significance of Saka Town".
So on the turf, the kobold made a big concession, and Saka Town is not a strategic place in the eyes of the kobold at all.
The agreement between the two sides was that the Thousand Caves Hills were to be occupied entirely by the dogheads, and of course all minerals were included. In other territories, the kobold forces only kept the more than ten strongholds leading to Saka Town along the way, and even the "Chengbei Toll Station" was given to the other party.
The Hill of the Brave is now the town of Saka for nothing, plus the "North Toll Gate". And the catapult that Niu Jingtian left at the "Chengbei Toll Station" was also packed and sent to the other party.
The Brave Hill has gained a huge bargain, how can it be enough to give up the little bit of minerals that have been taken down by others, and the second thing they pay is the control of the adventurers.
First of all, the status of the Thousand Caves Hill was recognized, and it was equal to the Hill of the Brave, and the two sides were simple allies, watching and helping each other. In the future, the two sides must allow adventurers to move freely, and if there is a special need, they must communicate with each other, so that Ushiida can also use the power of adventurers.
And there is a third one: in the future, a map of the trade routes north of the swamp will be provided and shared with Ushiida and others, and there is a very badly operated seaport north of the swamp that can receive outside assistance, and it will also be open to Ushiida and others.
In the end, the price of the Brave Hill will be very preferential if the grain is exchanged for the minerals of the dog's head, and no one will be stuck in the other party's neck, which is considered an equal exchange, and basically not a transfer of interests.
A month of fighting has finally turned into a negligible result.
From Long Aotian's point of view, Niu Jingtian and the others first occupied the Thousand Caves and Hills, the second could send tasks to adventurers without hindrance, and the third went to the north to mix in a trade route that I don't know if it was useful or not, and there was no other hair, which was really a loss!
But Niu Jingtian doesn't care, if you don't do it well in a few months, you will have to change the copy, and the benefits that can only be seen in a few years are still tangled.
After talking for several hours, he picked up a lot of benefits in vain, and the 'prophet' also knew that these guys who 'have many dogs, they are willful!' are not all the way to themselves, and those who were cautious before were a waste of life.
"Our cooperation has been so successful that there is no need to hide some of the camp's little secrets from you. In the past two months, the Brave Hill has carried out an important mission, which requires full effort, and most of the strength has been invested before, so there is less than half of the guard force left, and most of them are free adventurers.
"Now, with your help, the defensive pressure on the camp has been greatly reduced. I hope to mobilize more adventurers to solve this task in advance. But then Saka's defense is a lot empty......"
