Chapter 208: Arming (II)
2000413913 Chapter 208 is armed
Hundreds of villagers, pushing luggage, while thirty wagons lined up along the road.
In the midst of the countless noises, the crying could not be hidden. It was the sound of family parting.
A little farther away, the cavalry of the Church of the God of Order. Commanded by knights, they watched all this indifferently.
In other villages, it is the militia men who will accompany them until the city gate and then come back, but although the small mining village has not yet broken out of the demonic disaster, it is still included in the front line, therefore, this right is lost, all men over the age of fifteen. Must say goodbye to family here.
Five Lori, Suzuki is a professional and has to stay.
The other four, even Frarie, who had a relationship with Romong, chose to leave, and only Sally stayed.
In this regard, Romon gave a severance pay, and as for Frali, she added an extra fifty gold coins, even if she explained all the past clearly, she would not be accepted by Romon in the future.
Of course, not all women will leave, and some may choose to stay.
On the window balcony, Romon saw Haivawi and his son, Halim, standing and talking with his wife.
Haivawi had two sons, the eldest son, Hanrim, who had reached the age of fifteen and had to stay in battle, and the second son, who was only eleven years old and could go to the city with his mother.
Just then, suddenly, there was the sound of a horn.
It was the knight's order to hurry to the journey.
In this situation of life and death, everyone's nerves are tense. The sound of this horn made all the people in the village agitated.
Romon sighed, didn't look any further, and entered the room.
The hall was filled with people with sad faces and expressions.
Fafer, Nick, Old Man Lulun, Fudy, and Sukar were all here, and almost everyone knew very well how tricky and terrible things were going to be, and they didn't say anything.
After a few more moments, Romon frowned, and Haivawi had not yet come up.
Seeing Luo Meng frowning, the old man Lu Lun also frowned, Luo Meng's mood, of course he knew that none of the people present were separated from their families, they all came early, only Hai Wawei still delayed,
Maybe he joined Romon territory, but instead became the first line, there is resentment!
After another moment, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Romong's eyes, and at that moment, the door opened, and Haivavi entered.
Everyone is in order, and this is the main fighting force in the territory.
"Everyone already knows that our territory is divided into first-tier territories by the church, mainly because there are demons in and out of the mines. Romon said, his eyes swept over Haivawi, and said unceremoniously, "Now, we have to deploy more specific defense and combat strategies. ”
"Yes, Lord Lord!" replied Fafer, "just tell us what we think, Mr. Lulun, you can speak first!"
On such an occasion, Fafer was unprecedented. Refer to Romon as Lord Lord, in order to unify authority.
Old man Lu Lun also said, "Your Excellency. Now the situation is clear, there are already multiple territories. There was a demonic disaster, and the nobles in the territories in various places reacted, but after Baron Pezin was executed by the whole clan, the nobles who were panicked and ready to flee had to close their ears and die. ”
"Now, our territory is divided into first-line territories by the church, because the mining area belongs to the territory, so the task now is to further strengthen the defense. ”
"There are two aspects we are facing, the first is that the demons in the mining area rush out, and the secondly, the demons in other territories are transferred to our territory, so we have to strengthen the two fronts. ”
"Thankfully, our territory has relatively integrated walls, which has greatly improved defenses. ”
When he said this, everyone present was in high spirits.
Hearing this, Luo Meng nodded, and said, "I have already detected that the strength of the little devils is not high, but the key is that they have small wings. Although these small wings can't fly, they can jump to a height of three meters when they flutter at a critical time, and although our city wall is four meters, it is not enough, so it is better to increase it by one meter. ”
Nick nodded, and said, "It's up to us, we still had a lot of masonry last time." Heightening it by one meter is not a problem. ”
"Your Excellency, we can build another arrow tower. More firepower!" said Fafel.
"Of course, not only that, but also take advantage of the present to collect more boulders and giant trees, which are not bad for the little devil. Romon said instructively.
When Romon built the city wall, he didn't notice the demonic calamity, so he built it like this. It was due to his game design, as well as his insecurity, that he always felt that there was no war in a territory without the protection of the city walls. That's pretty much the slaughter, now it seems. Romon couldn't have done the right thing.
"Rolling wood boulders, it is still necessary, in the city of Aps, just within the high walls, accumulate this thing, once the other party crosses the ditch and the defense line and comes to the city, the rolling wood boulder will be pushed down, those rolling wood boulders, all of them weigh more than a hundred catties, once they are rolled over, even if they are rough and thick-skinned, they will become minced meat, although we are not so perfect, but it will still play a certain role. Old man Lu Lun said approvingly.
At this time, Haivawi also interjected: "Then can we build a moat?"
"The moat has a certain effect, and if the walls are raised, if it is still too late, it can be built. Luo Meng glanced at it lightly and said, "After the druid is promoted to the fifth level, he can have thorny spells, so that all the walls are covered with sword vines and thorns, which has a great effect on people. It's hard to say about demons, but it's better than nothing. ”
Everyone present nodded.
Old man Lu Lun thought about it and said, "To defend against the little devil, the canal must be at least ten meters wide and four meters deep. ”
"Yes, that's good. Romon said, secretly a pity, in fact, he can mix some poisonous potions produced by natural plants, although the demon's immunity is very strong, but it can also poison it.
Luo Meng has poison seeds from the Thieves Guild, several of which are highly poisonous, but he didn't pay attention to this aspect before, although he can let Luo Li plant it immediately in the Shennongjiao space, but it can only be harvested after at least three catties of small moons.
After a pause, he asked, "The stone cannons have already been installed?"
"Loaded!" Fafer replied crisply, this stone cannon is actually a trebuchet.
"My lord, what help is there for the church?" asked Haivawi hopefully.
"Yes, lords who resolutely resist will receive this support, but not with too much hope. I guess it's a squadron at most.
Hearing this, everyone smiled bitterly.
In fact, because of this, Luo Meng could not give up the small mining village, originally according to Luo Meng's idea, all transferred to the forest house to resist, it is not bad, the city wall there is not bad, the most important thing is. The basement of the temple there is the last place of resistance, a total of three floors, and the space inside is very spacious, with extremely sufficient food, weapons, water and potions.
All the defenses in front of him collapsed. He can take the people in the territory and retreat here, and he can hold out for a long time. The materials there are all made of solid stone, and there are many mechanisms inside, and Romon has built many of them in the basement, which is enough to resist for a while at the last moment.
Luo Meng thought for a while, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, he said slowly: "The layout I am making now is just passive resistance, if the demon has really touched these lines of defense, then each, it means that we have the upper hand." If you want to win, you can't just defend, you have to take the initiative. ”
As he spoke, Romon pulled the detailed map of the territory in front of the two of them, and pointed to the individual positions in the mining area. "This is the main danger zone in our territory, if you want to make the village really safe. I can't help but think about how to destroy the demons as much as possible when they come up. ”
"Are you going to lay a line of defense outside the village?" asked Nick.
"Of course, but mostly in the mines. Luo Meng nodded, with a hint of murderous intent on his handsome face: "Since you can't go, it's a death if you can't go." That's simply, just spell it out. ”
Then, he said to Nick and Lulun: "I intend to let you two-catty villains and Sukar be in charge of the affairs of the leader, and I, Fafer, and Haivawi, will take the soldiers to the mining area to set up a defensive line, intercept these demons, and at the same time, consume their troops." ”
"But," Nick wanted to say. was stopped by Romon with words.
"Okay, I understand what you mean, but if the territory is really captured, I, as the first-line lord, will definitely die, and since that's the case, why not fight it." Rest assured, I'm a fifth-level druid and can take care of myself. Romon said. Although he can escape and flee, the price is that he can no longer mix in human society
Finish.
Seeing that Romon had already made a decision, Nick had no choice but to accept it.
The scholar Lu Lun and Luo Meng do not have such a deep relationship, but he admires Luo Meng's brave spirit, this spirit of being able to take the lead, will definitely inspire the confidence and leakage of those in the territory.
From this point of view, Lord Romon seems to be a little reckless on the surface, but in fact, he is much more clever than those nobles.
However, he still asked cautiously, "Lord Lord, how do you want to intercept it?"
"Actually, the interception on the ground is not as good as in the mining area, we have already explored" The combat effectiveness of the demon is not very high, it is probably a second- or third-level warrior, and there is one thing that we have an advantage, that is, the demon army, and the weapons are very backward. Luo Meng said analytically: "Such a thing. If we command it properly, we can even fight back and give the demon a hard blow. ”
At the strategic judgment level, in the end, it was born on the earth, and Luo Meng's judgment was more appropriate, and now the demons from all over the country have invaded on a large scale, and each one has begun to fight, even if it hits the demons below the mining area. It's impossible to get the attention of the demon higher-ups.
"Our biggest advantage is that in the mining area, the terrain is complex, and most of the mine roads only allow one or two people to enter and exit, so even if there are thousands of small demons, it is difficult to pass, so it is the cheapest thing to build fortifications in the mining area and let the demons pay several times the price of blood for every inch they enter. ”
"As for tactics, there are a lot of options in these situations. According to the impression, Luo Meng said that he set up secret posts, ambushes and assassinations, especially the soldiers such as Taoist battles and positions for blood, and told everything that could be used.
These tactics, although they exist in a world where magic and vindictiveness are prevalent and knowledge is tightly controlled, are difficult for most people to access. So. As soon as his practical lines of defense were spoken. It immediately attracted the amazement of everyone.
When they heard his designs, not only Fafer and the others opened their mouths wide, but even Lu Lun, a scholar who had always had profound knowledge, had bright eyes and nodded again and again.
"Your thoughts, Lord Lord, are really good. You grew up in Rikatown, and you haven't seen those wars, and you haven't been trained by strict knighthood, how can you come up with so many tactics?"
"But that's not enough. When Fafer, Sukar, and Haivawi had already gone down with the people to arrange this, Romon still sighed.
Nick looked at him with a look of great admiration. looked at Luo Meng and asked, "Luo Meng, I think that your layout is already very powerful, what else do you need to add?"
"The following is unity, in fact, I won't hide it from you, this time, the soldiers I brought are mainly old adventurers, especially those who are close to Haivawi. "Although it was said that the relationship between Romon and Haivawi was very good in the past, this time, fundamental differences have emerged.
Of course, Romon said something like this: "They are old adventurers, they have experience in this, don't worry, we will lay down layers of defense, and when we see that the situation is not good, we will retreat into the next line of defense, you don't have to worry about us." ”
Before leaving, Romon comforted Nick like this. Then, again, Ding instructed. Only then did he and Fafer and Haivawi rush to the mine with a large number of old adventurers.
It seems that because of today's cloudy day, the mining area here looks extremely gloomy, and in the dim light, it makes people feel cold.
Except for the sound of water droplets and the gentle footsteps of the crowd, no other sound could be heard in this mining area. Over here. It's maddeningly quiet.
"Romon, do you want to put another line of defense here?" asked Fafer, looking around. Next to him, a frightened Romon was also checking his surroundings.
From the outermost part of the mine, they had already begun to lay out their defenses. It is nothing more than the layout of traps, medicine powder, dark whistles, etc. There are also relatively strong stone fortresses, which are enough to withstand an impact.
By the time they reached the innermost, at least six lines of defense had been laid, and near the crack, they stopped.
There, there was already a strong dark aura erupting, Romon looked at Fafer, nodded, and said, "Let's lay the first line of defense here!"
