There is a city wall more than 40 meters high built in the pass between the two mountains on the north side of Duodan Town, and the stone cracks on the outer wall are filled with white ash, and the entire outer wall is not a smooth surface, and there are 69 guide channels built on the defensive wall of nearly 350 meters, which are specially prepared for rolling stones.

Nearly twenty bed crossbows were installed on this section of the wall.

On the span of 350 meters wide, there are fifteen arrow towers alone.

It's hard to imagine what the Bailin natives to the north will pay if they want to attack the town of Dodan.

Using this section of the wall as a criterion for evaluating the walls of other cities, Surdak felt that even the walls of the main city of Bena would not be stronger than the one north of the town of Dodan.

Surdak saw that the mountains were reaching into the clouds, and the shortest clusters of rocks rising into the sky were at least nearly 100 meters high.

The situation in Dodan Town is not as optimistic as in the official report, because that report does not mention that on average, there will be a small beast tide in the Bailin Warcraft Forest every ten years or so, according to Baron Maynard, the last large-scale beast tide in the history of Dodan Town was about one hundred and twenty years ago, when the violent and ferocious Warcraft rushed out of the Northern Warcraft Forest, almost one. Bloody nights swept through more than thirty towns in the north of Wilkes City, including the town of Dodan.

At that time, the Bednar Legion relied on the city defense of Wilkes City to barely stop the beast tide.

After the beast tide subsided, the then Duke Newman spent a lot of money to build an impregnable city wall here in Dodan Town, and the new Dodan Town was also rebuilt on the original site of the old town.

The worst piece of news left by Baron Maynard is that it has been eleven years since the last outbreak of the beast tide in Dodan Town, and so far there have been some abnormal movements in the Warcraft Forest, but there has been no sign of large-scale gathering.

Such a big thing, the report submitted by the Langdon Legion to the Bena Province was not clearly pointed out, obviously some of the Langdon family's magnates made some small moves inside, worried that the family's private army would be trapped in the beast tide of the Warcraft Forest in the north of the Bailin Plane and would be difficult to get out.

However, judging from the data of the more than 100 years of Dodan Town's resistance to the beast tide, this wall blocking the northernmost part of the Bailin Plane Occupation Zone is still trustworthy.

It was on the eve of the big war that Surdak needed to prepare as much as he could.

Surdak stood on the city wall, through the narrow gap between the mountain generals in the pass, he could see a corner of the edge of the Warcraft Forest in the northern part of the plane, he turned around and looked at the guards on the city wall, these city wall guards are currently under the Duodan Town City Defense Brigade, which is an armed force directly controlled by the town hall of Dodan Town, and the city defense affairs are usually in charge of this city defense brigade.

These guards were wearing armor and weapons, all of which were standard weapons issued by the military headquarters.

Hans, the captain of the city defense brigade, and several squadron leaders accompanied Surdak to introduce the defensive power of the city wall to Surdak, opened the material warehouse behind the city wall, and saw that it was stuffed with bundles of huge crossbow arrows wrapped in oilcloth, boxes of fire oil, fire scale bullets, and rows of two stone balls with a diameter of two extremely smooth polished on the wooden frame under the city wall.

When Surdak stood at the head of the city and asked Hans how the previous beast tides had been defended, Captain Hans, who had already participated in the two beast tide battles, immediately took Surdak to the side of the battlements, pointed to the dark ditches like drainage channels on the plane of the city wall, and said:

"In the past, when we defended the city, those demonic beasts attacked, we only needed to pour the fire oil down the groove from the city wall, and ignite the fire oil before the beast tide arrived, forming a fire wall, blocking most of the demon beasts from the fire wall, as long as the fire oil was prepared sufficiently, so that it could continue to burn for two or three weeks, the beast tide would recede on its own."

Unexpectedly, the city defenders of Dodan Town still arranged a wall of fire outside the city wall, and listening to Captain Hans say this, it seems that this wall of fire is still quite practical.

Surdak nodded and walked down the steps of the city wall.

Standing on the steps on the inner side of the city walls, you can clearly see the whole town of Dodan, there are only two most conspicuous buildings in the town, and the others are ordinary.

Looking at a two-story building in the center of the town, Captain Hans hurriedly introduced: "Lord Baron Surdak, this is the town hall of Dodan Town, and the garden and courtyard at the back are the residence of Baron Marko, the consul of the town. ”

Then he pointed to a three-story building in the center of the most prosperous neighborhood in the town, and said: "It is the largest trading house in our town, if you need anything, you can go there to buy, the goods in the trading house are very complete." ”

A large grandfather clock was built on the roof of the small three-storey building, and the street outside the trading house was filled with magic caravans, making the trading house look particularly lively.

"Lord Baron, the outside of the town has not been very safe recently, close to the beast tide, some bandit groups can't get mixed in the Warcraft Forest, so they run to the outside of Dodan Town to rob the merchant groups and weak adventure groups here, but they usually hide in the mountains north of the city wall, as long as they don't cross this city wall, there will be no danger, your cavalry team must be careful of those bandit groups when patrolling in the north of the city." Hans followed Surdak and walked down the wall and spoke.

Surdak asked in surprise, "At this time, there are still bandits who dare to loot the adventure group north of the city wall?" Aren't they worried about being swallowed up by the beast tide in an instant? ”

Hans smiled bitterly and explained: "Those bandit groups are said to be bandit groups, not some local natives in the mountains, there are also some adventure groups that are familiar with this place, they usually hunt monsters in the Warcraft Forest, but when they see other adventure groups, they will also transform into a powerful bandit group, and when the beast tide breaks out, people will swagger into Dodan Town." ”

As long as they can't grasp the conclusive evidence, no one can do anything to them.

This type of party is also more dangerous than the pure bandit group, because their membership of the party can provide them with more information about other parties, and this kind of party is also the target of the adventure guild.

Viru, who had been silently following the group and was almost invisible, came out from behind at this time and said to Surdak: "I'll go out to investigate, naturally I can't let them mess around at this time, at this time we have to let them be honest, since we are here, we must always send a signal to the people of Dodan Town......"

After saying that, he didn't wait for Surdak to express his opinion, turned around and walked towards the city wall.

"Viru!" Surdak shouted from behind.

Viru, covered in bandages, stopped and turned to look at Surdak.

Surdak waved his hand at him and said, "Stay safe. ”

Just as Hans was wondering how the archer, who was covered in bandages and carrying a longbow, said that he was going out of the city, and how he climbed the city wall, he saw Viru leap from the forty-meter-high city wall, and his body disappeared in an instant under Hans's dumbfounded gaze.

……

Surdak was going to visit Baron Marco, the consul of Dodan Town, in the afternoon, and instead of returning to the barracks, the group chose a restaurant in the town for lunch, which was just an ordinary barbecue restaurant.

The waiter at the door saw Surdak walk in, hurriedly opened the door eagerly, and arranged the group to a row of long tables in the corner of the hall.

Signa hid behind Selena, looking curiously at the restaurant filled with the smell of barbecue and ale, and she felt a little dazzled by the décor of the restaurant, and the waiters with silver-plated trays walked through the hall, looking very ornamental.

The cheap oil paintings on the walls and the flower pots in front of the foyer caught her eye, and if it weren't for Selena holding her little hand all the time, she would have almost stopped.

In fact, Nika's performance was not as good as that of Signa, and when she stood at the door of the restaurant, she was a little hesitant to follow in or wait outside, and Samira saw Nika standing at the door hesitating, so she beckoned to him at the door, motioning for her to follow.

Nika glanced down at her toe-baring slippers, a little afraid to step into the restaurant.

There was a similar restaurant in Kieran, and she had peeked in the street outside the restaurant, only to be chased away by the waiter with a stick at the restaurant.

"Come in, it's okay, your current identity is a servant of Lord Baron Surdak, and they don't dare to stop you." Samira took Nika by the shoulders with one hand, took him into her arms, and walked into the restaurant as she spoke.

The waiter at the door of the restaurant even took the initiative to open the door for them, and that humble look made Nika a little unsure of what to do, her heart was beating non-stop, and she walked into the restaurant without doing anything.

Surdak didn't notice these episodes, he has been discussing with Andrew the next training plan of the cavalry battalion, since the beast tide here in Dodan Town is coming, then the training plan of the cavalry battalion here has to make some changes, at least the training intensity should be increased, high-intensity training means huge physical exertion, which requires the cavalry to eat some more.

Moreover, the patrol team has recently patrolled near the border line in the north of the city, and it must be led by Andrew or Samira or Gulitham.

Surdak plans to personally inspect the border north of the city tomorrow.

The menu of the restaurants here is very simple, except for barbecue, the rest is only some seasonal vegetables and fruits.

On the street of Dodan Town, several aboriginal children stood on the street, and through the window they saw Nika sitting on a chair at the end of the dining room, struggling to cut a piece of bloody beef.

The aboriginal children were bold enough to lie by the window, and when they saw Nika stuffing a large piece of beef into their mouths, the saliva from the corners of their mouths flowed out of their mouths.

The waiter of the restaurant saw that the window facing the street was surrounded by a group of children, and was worried that it would affect the guests' meals, so he hurriedly ran out of the restaurant with a handle, and the aboriginal children were scattered in a hurry.

Nika lowered her eyes and focused on cutting the delicious barbecue on her plate, but her mood was extremely complicated.

At this time, she realized that the people in the small town outside had not changed, and the people in this town also looked down on the aborigines, and they had changed...... Only herself.

Samira lifted her hood, revealing a beautiful elven face, but those pale red eyes had a murderous aura that could not be hidden, and her gaze fell on the waiter, which would make them feel a pain in their chests, as if they had been hit by an arrow in an instant......

She has recently accepted Viru's guidance, and her strength has improved a little quickly, and the side effect that comes with it is that she can't suppress the aura on her body a little.

I usually don't feel anything when I cover my face with a hood, but I need to lift the hood when I eat, and the pale red eyes full of murderous aura are a little too sharp.

She ate half of the smoked fish and covered her face again with her hood.

Probably knowing that the prefect of the garrison of Dodan Town had come to eat, the restaurant owner hurried over, not only brought a bottle of golden cider and a dessert, but also planned to waive the meal fee for Surdak and his party, and when everyone had eaten lunch, the restaurant owner stood at the door with a smile on his face and sent everyone away.

The town of Dodan is not big, and the restaurant is only six or seven hundred meters away from the town hall, and Surdak led the group to the gate of the town hall.

Selena put her arm around Signa, pointed to the small square opposite Surdak, and said, "I'll take them over there and wait for you......"

Surdak nodded, and walked into the town hall with Andrew.
