Meng Han actually had a hidden power that he hadn't spoken. The mercenary group sent by the Wright Wizard to secretly protect him, although small in number, is certain that it is not a simple commodity. It's just that it's not sure if they will make a move at this time, so Meng Han didn't bring it up to Qiao and Zhu.

Now Meng Han went to the place where the Wright magician's servant lived. When this kind of thing happened, Meng Han had to inform them, at least let them prepare in advance. Otherwise, once the sand thieves really come in and let Wright's magicians' people have a good deal, Meng Han's backer in the magician field, at least the current backer, will collapse with a bang.

This is also the reason why Meng Han had to go in person. It's not respect for that servant, it's respect for the Wright magician behind him. Just like Meng Han's courtesy to Louisa and Louise, it was not because the two of them were worthy of Meng Han's doing, but because the elves behind them were exactly the same.

The Wright Magician's servant met the lord very respectfully, and then listened carefully to the lord's words, and said nothing. It is not said that they plan to leave, nor that they plan to fight the sand pirates with everyone.

Meng Han was not surprised, it was not their business. Meng Han came to inform them, not to let them join the battle, but for their safety, just to notify them in advance. What he wants to do has been done, as for what others want to do, it is not Meng Han's business.

In fact, without the mobilization of Grace and Alice, those ordinary people who had just come to Huangsha Town to take root and were led by the mercenaries, after hearing the news that the sand thieves were coming, they no longer needed to be supervised by others, and spontaneously started to work hard.

They can't help but be unmotivated, leaving their original territory means that they have been removed from their original territory and come to Huangsha Town, they are the people of Huangsha Town, and life here is not as terrible as they imagined, at least they can eat enough and dress warmly. How many of the people who were willing to leave their hometowns and came to Huangsha Town were doing well in their original territory? Now they had just lived a little stable and hopeful life, when they heard that the sand thieves were coming to destroy, they were excited. Even if it is for nothing else, just to defend their new home and their new life, it is worth their hard work.

Not only those young adults, but after hearing the news of the attack of the sand bandits, even their families, young and old, went into battle. Everyone has heard of the ferocity of sand thieves, and there is nothing more desperate for them than to protect themselves, their families, and their homes.

Qiao and Zhu were responsible for planning the location of a ring of city walls outside the original town, and at the same time determining the location of the deep ditch, and the rest was the business of these people. From logging to digging, one by one they are extremely energetic.

Originally, Qiao was worried that the construction of this city would be very slow, and a few days might not be enough, but Meng Han's requirements were not high, just to have a solid city wall that could enclose everyone, and the top could stand and attack, and the bottom could block the cavalry impact.

In less than half a day, by the time it was evening, Meng Han had already seen a circle of wooden walls appear, at least he could already stand. I believe that as long as there is one more day, it will be enough to meet Meng Han's requirements.

As for the horse traps, even children can dig one or two when they are fine. Not to mention the deep ditch, it was just digging the soil, and it didn't even have technical content, and before the assigned manpower ate that night, Meng Han saw a circle of deep ditches appearing around the entire town, wide enough and deep enough. Even if the infantry falls in, it is estimated that there is no way to climb up easily.

The excavated earth was all filled between the walls made of several rows of trees, which not only increased the strength of the walls, but also filled the gaps between the trees, so that no bows and arrows could attack the people behind them through these gaps, killing two birds with one stone.

And by this time, the sand thieves had not yet come. Meng Han was already much more relaxed. Gavin and George, two natural scouts, have been sent out, and they will quickly report to everyone as soon as there is news of the sand pirates.

As for the mercenaries who were still in the town, Meng Han gave them two choices, either accept the lord's employment and jointly defend against the sand pirates. Or just leave. Meng Han didn't want to watch a group of people with swords and swords watch a group of civilians protecting them.

Of course, it's okay to leave, the weapons on your body have to be left, even if Meng Han bought them, every piece that is reasonable, Meng Han has to pay the price of a silver coin for it. As for the dwarven brothers' workshops, they are constantly forging ordinary swords day and night, and when necessary, those civilians will also use them. Meng Han didn't believe that there were more than a hundred sand thieves, and they dared to fight against thousands of people with knives?

Meng Han himself was not idle, in several directions, where Meng Han felt that it might be easy to impact, Meng Han deliberately released some ground thorns. The strength of the ground spikes is not high, and the length is not very long, but it is enough to stop the speed of the cavalry. That's all Meng Han wanted.

The whole town didn't rest all night, all of them were working overtime. No one knows when the sand thieves will come, and doing more at this time means that the sand thieves will have more certainty of survival when they come. No one needs to urge, everyone spontaneously stepped up their work, and no one was lazy.

All the old, weak, sick and disabled have gathered in the town, including the gold coins that Alice brought back from selling the elves' art swords this time. Those gold coins are the target of the sand pirates, so naturally they can't be left outside for them.

Qiao and Zhu had already calculated how much space it would take to fit all the civilians, so the area of the city wall was sufficient, but it might be a little tighter during this time, not as loose as before. No one disputes this.

Overnight, an ordinary town, a town without even a walled city, suddenly became a fortified city almost armed to the teeth. A deep ditch outside the city, outside the deep ditch is a continuous row of rejecting horses, because it is too late to hide the deep ditch, so they have to use two rows of rejecting horses to block the sight of the sand thieves, if they skip the first row of rejecting horses, the habitual want to continue to attack, it is in the arms of Meng Han. Even if they jumped over the first row and found something wrong, it would be very inconvenient to turn around and go back, which gave the people on the city wall a chance to attack.

What Meng Han hated most now was that there were too few bows and arrows, otherwise, if everyone had a pair of bows and arrows, and when he stood on the city wall, no matter how many sand thieves he came, wouldn't it be more than a hundred? Ten people would shoot one and that would be enough to turn them into hedgehogs.

As for the spooky pits dotted around the city, not to mention. Some of these pits are deep and some are shallow, some are large and some are small, but at this time, who will investigate whether the quality of this kind of engineering is up to standard? As far as cavalrymen are concerned, as long as they plot a knight's mount, others will not dare to rush on this kind of terrain.

"Well, it's efficient. "Master Howard, after he finished building the elves, did not leave with them, and remained in the town. On the one hand, he wanted to teach Edward and the Edwin brothers the blacksmithing skills of the dwarves, and on the other hand, he hoped to communicate with Meng Han more and see what else Meng Han could learn from him. Of course, he got the news, and now he was looking at a city that had appeared on the ground overnight with Meng Han, and he kept admiring.

The dwarves are a race with excellent blacksmiths, and the most forged weapons are weapons, so they naturally know what kind of weapons will be most effective in war. But after seeing Meng Han's simple ideas, even the self-contained and well-informed Master Howard couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"Which famous military strategist did you study?" was the first question that the Dwarven Master reacted to. He never believed that Meng Han could design something so simple but sharp that the cavalry were afraid of without any guidance.

Meng Han shook his head, he used to be a magic apprentice, how could he have time to study military affairs.

"Then do you have a grudge against the cavalry?" Seeing Meng Han's answer, the dwarf master didn't believe it, and at the same time, such a ridiculous word suddenly popped up in his mind.

The lord himself doesn't know how to explain it? Could it be that he told the dwarven master that he had lived in a society with a very advanced information in his previous life, and learned a lot of things that seemed miracles to people in this world, but were common sense to that world? How could it be? Lord Lord would rather make the dwarf master feel that he was a genius, although it was a bit shameless, but it was better than divulging his secrets.

"It seems that you can handle it well without my help! After following Meng Han around, the dwarven master only left this sentence, and went directly back to the dwarf brothers' workshop and began to guide them. If you want dwarven master-level skills, you can't just talk about it, it takes a lot of practice.

Meng Han originally didn't have the idea of working a dwarf master, in his eyes, a master-level dwarf was not a combatant, but a scientific researcher, even in the original world, scientific research personnel were also the object of protection, how could he be asked to go to the battlefield.

Looking at this miracle that surged up overnight, Meng Han was also very proud in his heart. Working together to resist the enemy is what we are talking about. Meng Han was even looking forward to the arrival of the sand pirates!

Sand Thieves, come quickly, after the First World War, everyone will be more united!
