After listening to Aslan's words, Jessica and Handini's faces were different.

"Lord City Lord, you said that a gang of more than a thousand robbers are coming to our Flying City to find trouble!" Jessica was surprised, but her face was more excited.

"What should we do then! Our two swordsman squads plus the musket squad have only 300 people at most, and the construction corps has recruited less than 600 people now, of which 300 are women, and they can't form combat effectiveness at all. Handini counted with his fingers.

However, no matter how you calculate it, their strength is not superior, and the most important thing is that if you count the construction corps, you can count 600 people in full battle, but if you can really form a combat strength, it will definitely not exceed 300 people, 300 to more than 1,000, and there is a huge disparity in strength.

"Yes, we're running out of time now. Aslan said with a serious expression.

"Rest assured, Lord Castle, no matter how strong the enemy is, we will fight for you. Handini said forcefully on one knee.

Aslan picked up Handini and said, "I need you to bring the recruits of the Construction Corps over to help me set up the defensive line, and the recruit training of the Swordsman Squad will be handed over to Waconna for the time being." ”

"Defensive line?" Handini didn't understand what he meant.

"Just let me do it. Aslan said.

"Would you like to bring the musketeers over as well?" asked Jessica urgently.

She was very worried that Aslan would throw them aside and fight a war or something, and she liked it the most.

Aslan looked at the members of the musket team who were still training, and he said silently: "We will soon show our strength to the outside, let them train for a while." ”

When Jessica heard Aslan's words, he already understood what he meant, although the enemy was present, there was a faint expectation in his heart.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the next day.

Aslan Handini and the construction corps dug many large pits on the flat ground of more than 100 meters north of the city wall.

"Is this all right, Lord Castle?" asked Handini, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Aslan looked at the land that had been dug up, he nodded and said, "It's almost over, you go and bring the cart of things I brought here." “

Handini looked at the big pits in front of him, and he asked incomprehensibly, "Lord of the city, what are these pits for?"

Aslan smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when you go and bring the cart I brought." ”

Handini curiously walked over to the carriage that Aslan had brought with him, and there were sacks on it, and he curiously knotted one of the sacks, which was a large boxy package with a rope on it.

Aslan chuckled and walked over and pulled out the contents of the sack, which turned out to be his special explosives bag.

Since explosives are still being made, the explosives pack naturally can't be left behind, although it is simple, but it is more powerful, Aslan preliminarily estimates that the power of the explosive pack is enough to kill a heavily armed junior professional, and the biggest effect of the explosive pack is area damage.

"This is the explosive bag I detonated last time, and it's not much less powerful than a flame bomb. Aslan said with a smile.

Although I don't know what the dynamite bag looks like that day, I clearly remember the terrible power of this thing, it seems that this carriage is loaded with these, if these things explode together, it will be much more terrifying than when I tested it before.

"You don't have to worry, as long as they don't get caught in the fire, they're still safe. Although Aslan said this, it was a pity that he did not have any confidence in his heart.

Handini breathed a sigh of relief, and he walked over, but he still didn't dare get too close to the thing.

"Lord Castle, what are you trying to do with these things?" asked Handini.

Aslan looked at the craters, and he said, "Handini, let me ask you, what do you think would happen if the explosives exploded at the same time under their feet on the day the robbers attacked. ”

Handini's body trembled violently, he already understood what the city lord meant.

"What about the west, my lord?"

Aslan pointed to the explosives bag in his hand and said: "The biggest advantage of our Flying City is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, except for a road in the north, a stone mountain in the south, a mine in the north, and a dense forest in the west that is difficult to cross, and it is difficult to ensure that there are no beasts to attack, if the troops in your hands are four or five times more than mine, will you take a long detour from the west?"

Handini looked at Aslan, swallowed and said, "You mean, we bet that the bandits from the north will attack us, but wouldn't that be too risky?" ”

Aslan said confidently: "Take risks, that's impossible. From what I know about these robbers, they will definitely do it, not to mention that they came with 'great righteousness' this time, and it is even more impossible for them to take a long detour. ”

Handini nodded a little confusedly.

Aslan looked at the dense woods in the distance and said, "Now I can't explain it to you clearly, but you will know when the time comes, I need you to arrange someone to do one thing now, a very important thing, if this thing is done well, we will win a third this time." ”

Handini asked, "What's the matter?"

"I hope you can select some good people in reconnaissance and send them to Flying City within a radius of hundreds of miles, and when those robbers appear, they can report the information to us in advance, and it is best to leave us three hours to prepare us well. Aslan said.

Handini nodded: "We recruits are good at this, I also know a few hunters, they are very familiar with this geographical environment, send them to do reconnaissance and early warning, there must be no problem." ”

"That's fine, bury the explosives, pay attention to the position of the leads, and then you can arrange for someone to watch this area day and night, and then give the robbers a big hot pot to eat." Aslan commanded.

"I see. Handini nodded.

"Jessica has everything arranged here, you go back and lead the musketeers to prepare, in the afternoon we are going to have real practice with muskets, it's time for them to meet the real guys. ”

When Jessica heard Aslan's words, she almost jumped three feet high in excitement: "City Lord, can we use those muskets to practice?"

Aslan nodded, but he said, "Our number of muskets is not enough, and the weapons department is rushing to produce them, and I believe that they will be sent to the musket team soon." I'm just going to bring a few of them over in the afternoon for you musketeers to practice, after all, it's not a thing to train with sticks. ”

Jessica nodded excitedly, although it wasn't a gun for everyone, but it was good enough to let them practice their hands, and his training during this time was not for this.

"The training of your musket team should be fine, but don't send the guns to you when the time comes, you won't need them yet. Aslan said.

"Lord Castle, don't worry. Our musketeers will not disappoint you. With that, Jessica gave Aslan a military salute.

"Alright, alright. That's it for the morning, you can go back and get ready. ”

"Yes!"
