Chapter 35: The Pre-War Conference

Following the city lord into the conference room, Lin Qiu realized that the royal knight he was talking about was actually a white-haired old man, and there was a shocking scar on the old man's right eye. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing the city lord come in, the knights cast an inquiring glance at Lin Qiu, who was standing behind the city lord.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news for you, this Lord behind me is a military advisor, and he can help us defend Solan Harbor!"

As soon as he entered the gate, the lord of the city couldn't wait to announce.

Can this kid defend Solan Harbor?

The knights were in disbelief. Before that, they discussed how to ensure that the inhabitants of Solan Harbor were protected from the Vikings as much as possible, but who knew that the city lord had returned from a trip and brought back a "military advisor".

None of them had ever heard of what a military advisor was.

"This young man, now that great disaster is coming, the old man advises you not to cheat here. ”

The royal knight muffled. Since the end of the war,

He has lived in seclusion since five years ago, having already experienced a Viking invasion. However, at that time, he chose to remain silent, so that the daughter of the lord of the castle was taken captive by the barbaric pirates. This time, he joined the battle with only one - to protect the safety of the city lord's family.

He can't tolerate such a so-called liar at such a time to deceive by means of war!

"Doug, this is ......"

"It doesn't matter, if you don't believe me, you can try it yourself. ”

Lin Qiu interrupted him. In the face of thousands of Vikings, these knights have long been like frightened birds, let alone fighting, as long as the Vikings rush to the docks, their formation will be scattered in an instant.

"The old man has already persuaded you. ”

The green mist then rose, the old man held the sword, and the pressure of the royal knight suddenly pressed towards Lin Qiu.

He didn't believe that Lin Qiu, a stinky kid, could turn over any tricks.

Lin Qiu smiled casually: "Let's go out and compete, right?"

After a while, most of the knights of Solan Harbor gathered around the jousting arena not far from the City Lord's Mansion, and seeing the commotion, many idle residents also leaned over here. Doug stood opposite Lin Qiu and narrowed his left eye.

- Hmph, pretending to be a calm boy.

"So, let's get started?"

"Draw your sword, don't say I'm a little doll like you at my age. ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Qiu shook his head: "If you use a sword, it will be too much to bully your old man." ”

Just now, Lin Qiu had a flash of inspiration and thought of a wonderful way to prove his strength.

In such a small town, the royal knight has always been respected, and even the city lord is polite to him on weekdays, and this little liar who came out of nowhere actually looks down on him?

On the martial arts field, the green mist was filled.

However, the old man's face suddenly turned bruised, and he couldn't move a step forward. He looked up in disbelief, and Lin Qiu happened to be staring at him all the time.

"If you don't believe in my abilities as a military advisor, then in that case, you should believe it, right?"

As he spoke, he slowly floated his body into the air - anyway, the people of Solan Harbor didn't know his ability to engrave, and he was able to convey a message to the people of Solan Harbor by manipulating buoyancy.

Even Doug's eye, which had been blinded by the sword wound, opened with a shudder, revealing the whites of his eyes.

Templars!

The Holy Lord is above, and it turns out to be a Templar!

The people of the entire port of Solan were in an uproar, where had people in a small city like them seen the Templars with their own eyes, no matter what kingdom they were in, the Templars were all dragons who saw the head and the end. Even in the capital of the Byronic Empire, it was not easy to see the Templars!

"Forgive the old man for not being able to recognize your identity as a Templar!"

As soon as he was freed from the restraints of gravity, Doug fell to one knee. And after his confirmation, the knights of Solan Harbor were all overjoyed - with the Templars in charge, what were the thousands of Vikings? Even if they had not seen them, they had heard of the horrors of the Templars from others - the legend that the Templars alone had the power to subvert a small country!

Lin Qiu was happy to see this scene.

As soon as he entered the conference room before, he found that the morale of this group of knights was low and lifeless, and they were about to go to the battlefield, and I am afraid that more than half of them would become deserters.

The first thing he had to do was give confidence to the knights.

"If there is a Templar Lord in charge, you can annihilate more than 100 ships with a finger at the touch of a finger!"

As soon as he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord said happily. He wanted to throw a three-day, three-night dinner party to celebrate the help of the Templars!

"I'm not going to fight directly this time. ”

As soon as Lin Qiu's words came out, the knights were in an uproar.

The city lord's face froze: "Lord Templar, you won't be looking for my pleasure, will you?"

Lin Qiu pretended to glance at him proudly - of course he wouldn't make a move, he couldn't just take out thousands of Silver Emblem Knights like Alyssa did. It's not that he didn't think about floating those hundred pirate ships into the sky and smashing them into the sea, but with his current scoring power, he could only get a dozen or so at most. He didn't want to spend too much time on a big battle that didn't matter to him, as there was a real Templar who could be plotting against him at any moment.

"Didn't I say it, I'm helping you as a military advisor, and if you do what I say, your strength will be enough to repel the Vikings. ”

"We?"

The knights looked at each other.

Even with an elderly royal knight in charge, their group would not be enough to fight the Vikings, not to mention that they had just learned that the captain of the guard, who was firmly in second place in Solan Harbor, had been unconscious after a mysterious attack.

"That's right, you all know what happened in the early morning mausoleum...... I have come to this city because the man who caused the commotion, if we fight between us, will not bother you. ”

This kind of mixed truth is the easiest to believe.

The knights nodded busily, and Doug took the lead and said, "Please tell us how to retreat from the enemy!"

The plan was divided into four parts - the first step was to gather all the citizens of the city and collect money for lamp oil. You sent for the oil you had collected to sprinkle all over the docks, and mixed it with a large amount of gunpowder. Although the Vikings were all physically strong, I have observed that they tend to fight with their upper bodies on their upper body, and fire attacks can consume a lot of their forces when they log in. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they were bent on fighting the pirates in a bloody battle, causing everyone's minds to squeeze into a dead end.

"Of course, this is not enough, and the fire attack is only a foreshadowing for the second step of the plan. ”

As he spoke, Lin Qiu took out some sharpened rocks.

Doug and the others immediately came over, and they looked puzzled: "What is this?"

"Starting today, you're going to make these items in large quantities and sprinkle them on the way from the docks to the city on the evening of the pirate attack!"

This is what Lin Qiu saw from the books of ancient warfare, this thing is called thistle terrestris, and it is an important trap used in ancient warfare to hinder the enemy's movements. It's just that there is not much time left for them, and it is really difficult to make such an iron tool in four days, so he can only retreat to the next best thing and replace it with stones.

He smiled sheepishly, "If those pirates were on fire, they would be rolling on the ground, and if they accidentally rolled on this thing......"

The knights' faces turned pale, and they could imagine the pain of being pierced into their bodies by these sharp stones.

What shocked them even more was that Lin Qiu's first two steps of plan could even be done by ordinary people!

Only then did the city lord believe Lin Qiu's wordsβ€”no wonder he said that military advisors could lead the course of a war with their unrestrained strength, and if ordinary people mastered these traps, even the well-trained knights of the Silver Emblem might be attacked because they were unprepared.

"Next, you are going to send a trained knight to the mausoleum. ”

"To the mausoleum?"

Doug felt that every word Lin Qiu said was beyond his expectations.

"That's right, the man I'm tracking down has mastered some kind of evil technique, and now the mausoleum has been overrun by a group of skeletons who can't think. ”

"What? You said the mausoleum was taken over by skeletons?"

Enraged, Doug picked up his sword and made a gesture to leaveβ€”the mausoleum was the resting place of the warriors of the Byron Empire, and he was eager to rush over and smash the skeletons who dared to make trouble in the mausoleum.

"Don't be impatient, on the night of the pirates' attack, you went to the mausoleum alone and led the skeletons to Solan Harbor. ”

Although those skeletons have limited lethality, their resistance to attack is top-notch, not to mention that the Vikings have no armor to cover, and it is not a joke to be stabbed with a bone sword.

What's more, skeletons that have no sense of vitality and pain are not afraid of thistles and flames.

"And you, just stay in the city and release rockets into the docks. ”

At the end, Lin Qiu added.

――This plan is not even needed by 100 people!

The city lord gasped, fortunately, the military division did not appear in the war more than ten years ago, otherwise with this kind of trickery, the casualties of the Byron Imperial soldiers would definitely be more than doubled!

"That'...... What about the fourth step?"

"Oh, I don't have to ask you for the fourth step, but I need to borrow someone from you. ”

"Who?"

"Sasha. ”

After hearing his name, Sasha, who had been staying in the corner, opened her mouth slightly and pointed at herself in surprise.
