Chapter Twenty-Seven: All the Way South

Without doing anything, he took the opportunity of establishing the camp to start buying all kinds of supplies: saltpeter and sulfur, not only saltpeter, but also other things that might be usable—tung oil, asphalt, beeswax, hides......

Unexpectedly, Camp came over again and proposed a big project. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I had to come back and talk to a few people together.

A piece of news that I don't know if it's good or bad: "Camp is here again, to see what he means, to reconcile with us." However, they were worried that we had a demonic background and made a condition. ”

Niu Jingtian really wants to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and reconciliation is naturally a good thing, and now there is no self-sufficiency in food here.

He thought about it, there is a big swamp in the north, otherwise he will take the dog heads to catch field chickens, and a dog head will be full of three or five a day, but the dog heads running around on the flat ground are too weak, and it is easy to be flattened by people, and now the other party has the will to reconcile, of course welcome.

"On the condition that we attack a strategic point to prove that we are not on the side of the devil. ”

Everyone scratches their heads, 'strategic location' doesn't sound easy to deal with...... Where?

Saka Town, a town slightly larger than the Hill of the Brave. It is generally irregular in shape, in the southeast direction of the Thousand Caves Hill, about two days' distance by foot.

The river next to the Thousand Caves Hills originating from the Oriental Snow Mountains is called the Swallowing Stone River, and the tributary that flows to the swamps to the north is called Mo Jade. The Swallowing Stone River made a half-circle in the southeast corner of the Thousand Caves Hill and flowed all the way to the southwest. After all, the river was formed by the melting snow of the snow-capped mountains, and the water was cold and biting, and the current was turbulent, and only in one wide shoal did the current ease a little.

The town of Saka sits on the north shore of the shoal, and a majestic bridge leads to the south bank, in the heart of the kingdom of Trem, which has fallen under the scourge.

As long as any force occupies this town, it will naturally occupy the bridge over the Swallowing Rock River and occupy a very important communication artery.

Of course, the rest of the river is barely navigable, but the current is so strong that even if the boat does not capsize, it may be washed out a few hundred meters, which can only be used as a last resort for small troops.

With protective magic on his body, Niu Ida flew around, which can be regarded as clarifying the general situation.

"That's probably the case with this town, and it's also drawn on the map. But there was a problem - the kingdom was clearly trying to build the town as a strategic location, and the town was surrounded by stone walls, although not high, but very complete. There is an ultra-wide moat outside, and the broken river that is connected to it has a turbulent current, and even the dug moat has waves, and you can't touch the city wall at all. ”

A few people looked at each other, and we went into the park at most to climb over the railing to evade the ticket, but we didn't climb over the city wall, and we also had a moat......

Niu Jingtian saw that everyone was silent, so he simply made his own decisions: "The attack on Saka Town is no fun for the broken camp next door, but the old man seems to have some hope for changing to a dog's head! Tell them to wait, the dog's head will push the city in a month." I'd like to see what the face of that half-dead camp would be if we had succeeded. ”

Why a month, because dog food lasts for a month...... As for the enemy, the chicken and the dog!

This month, Tesfield, who wanted to be the battalion commander, didn't stop the civil engineering - it didn't take a few dogheads anyway, and the nearby messy miners' shacks were baskets, and a circle of fences and houses could be built together, and then the endless building of the arrow tower and the bed crossbow looked very much like that.

The adventurers were also like Chinese cabbage, and suddenly a lot of them appeared, and they went to Xu Ping'an to ask questions.

Looking at these guys with big waists and round eyes like copper bells, Xu Ping'an is a little square - when selling products, he is most afraid of seeing this master - he can only say amiably, the camp can only provide safe accommodation for the time being, simply sell a little simple ironware, and my family will have more abundant services in a few days, please look forward to Yunyun, by the way, do you have saltpeter, sulfur, tung oil, asphalt, beeswax, animal skins and other things on hand and want to get rid of them?

On the other end, he urged Tesfil vigorously: "What about the demonic magic equipment you mentioned earlier?

Mercenaries and adventurers don't have any opinions on this, it's good to have a safe place to rest, and I heard that there are all kinds of miscellaneous things here, and we don't mind digging a honeycomb or something along the way.

As for the kobolds, everyone said that the pressure was not great, and I would get out of the way of the mine you occupied, and the necromancers who dug graves and the voodoo magicians who descended their heads all ran around the streets in the open, and a few small lizards came to be miners.

Here, Tesfil was caught by Xu Ping'an to make magic items, Niu Jingtian planned a war behind his back, and only Brother Long and his sister were left to teach mathematics at Kotou Primary School, and several people were also making the best use of them.

In the end, Niu Jingtian, who had been planning for a long time, pinched his fingers and calculated, this attack on Saka Town still depends on mathematics in the end!

Kobolds are not very fast in math, but they are much better than human schoolchildren, and they are adults after all. The 55 foreman dogs, half a month of half-time work and study, basically played with addition and subtraction, and the ninety-nine table also memorized seventy-seven eighty-eight, and could already help Niu Jingtian teach the tabula rasa dog. However, Niu Jingtian didn't have any talent for naming - even if he did, he forgot about it when he turned around, and temporarily arranged a temporary number from 002 to 056 for the 55 foreman dogs - the number 001 has been taken up by Guan Renxiu's personal butler.

In his spare time, he is also tinkering with Xu Ping'an about the special killing tool in Saka Town-the legendary counterweight trebuchet!

Now let's look at my medieval killer!

A counterweight trebuchet uses the principle of leverage to throw heavy objects out like a seesaw. This is not much different from the cannons invented in the Warring States period in China, except that the cannons are pulled by manpower, and the counterweight catapults use a winch to lift the heavy objects, and then use the force of its fall to beat the stone eggs out.

The most difficult place is the design, after all, there are a lot of moving parts, but it is not necessarily more difficult than the ancient mortise and tenon structure of the furniture, the production, the most technical content is the metal bearing in the moving parts, but the low-speed mass production of 100 steel-making Niu Jingtian, said that the pressure is not large.

Saka has been in front of the Hill of the Brave for so long, and the natives know a little bit about the situation in the town. After much understanding, it was learned that a huge number of zombies had been hoarded there, which were not only the reserve food for the monsters, but also a weapon for street warfare.

During the day they are driven by demons and shrunk in buildings, and once a reckless adventurer dares to sneak into the city, there will be an astonishing number of zombies crowding the roads to the brim, they are as powerful as oxen, they are inexhaustible to kill, and they also carry all kinds of germs and corpse plague, which is a nightmare for melee combatants.

In the past, humans were mainly defending, and these clumsy dead objects were just targets for shooters, but now attacking the zombie squatting town, this is a headache.

Fortunately, there is no large-scale monster gathering place north of Saka Town, and the guys in those small villages are also recovering little by little without the continuous backup replenishment of the Thousand Caves and Hills, and now, the line between the Thousand Caves Hills and the Brave Hills to the north, there are basically no monsters that have slipped through the net.

With the capture of the town of Saka, the monsters north of the Swallowing Stone River will hardly be replenished, and the situation of the war will be greatly changed. Therefore, the question of the hill of the brave is very difficult to do, and it is not easy to refuse.

Ushiida is not under much pressure on this. Anyway, it's also going to catch the demon and brush the dog's head.,It's good if you don't make a mess.,It's just a stand-alone game.。

At night, the plains are shrouded in a faint mist, the autumn cold is getting heavier and heavier, and the grasslands are gradually showing a touch of yellow.

Under the cover of Niu Ida and Tesfei, a large group of dog heads pulled a cart of supplies and walked towards the plain. This expedition was too far, and Ushiida was not at ease, so he simply set up a few transit camps between the Thousand Caves Hills and the town of Saka, and now both the indigenous humans and the demons seem to be friends and foes.

Soon, a suitable village appeared in front of the team, and Ushiida waved his paws: "Little ones, assemble the punch cars and give them a look!"

The battle ended quickly, but it was a lonely village, and it took a few heavy crossbow shots to kill all the monsters. The kobolds soon turned into engineers, repairing walls and digging tunnels.

By the time the sun had risen, a small camp had been set up, and a dungeon of a rough scale had begun to take shape below the surface.

Niu Ida's tactics are still simple and rude - since there are still a lot of monster activities in this plain, and the hometown is also worried about the brave hill turning its face, then build a bunker all the way over, and the dog head is an expert in defensive battles.

Now, the Hill of the Brave and the Hill of the Thousand Caves, as well as the adventurers who come and go between them, form a strange balance.

The Hill of the Brave has food and money, but it is very short of iron, and the Thousand Caves Hill is the opposite. So the adventurers had to run on both sides, but fortunately there was an oak village in the middle that was safe enough to rest.

The tenacious Camp wanted to be stationed in the Thousand Caves Hills as a liaison between the two places, but was driven to Oak Village to become the village chief. Just kidding, you are the management of the hill of the brave, isn't running this end putting pressure on the adventurer, what should the timid adventurer do if he doesn't dare to come to the Thousand Caves Hill?

Now that the monsters have stopped a lot, the forces of the Thousand Caves and Hills have begun to make big moves again, first popping up a large number of kobolds, attacking the villages destroyed by the monsters all the way south, and then operating them into strong camps.

Then, Tesfil was also developed. She designed a cape, made of leather from several monsters, which can increase the healing speed of the wounds of great adventurers, although it is not as exaggerated as the self-healing ability of monsters, but it is absolutely fine for small wounds to heal in a day or two, and at the same time, it can also mask the breath of humans, making it more difficult for monsters to find humans!

As soon as this "automatic blood regeneration and stealth skill doubling cloak" came out, it immediately caused a sensation in all directions, and in a short period of time, there were even more adventurers in the Thousand Caves and Hills than in the Brave Hill.

But unfortunately, this cloak is not for sale, and you need to do tasks to exchange points for points.
