The visit to the Sea Clan was a success, not only eliminating potential hostility, but also using the tourism trade to form a community of interests with the Sea Clan, and when the monsoon turned from north to south and the hot and dry air gradually became comfortable and pleasant, another conversation was added to the circle of nobles of the Gallant Empire, that is, who went to the underwater world of Lancer Bay, and who accidentally enlarged the belly of the gentle and open Sea Clan chick.

The industry of the Golden Warehouse is all on the right track, the pearls of the Sea Clan and the gold coins of the empire continue to flow into the Golden Warehouse, a large amount of funds support the rapid development of the Golden Warehouse, all the residents have lived in the sturdy and sheltered brick houses, the original stilted buildings have been developed into tourist attractions by clever businessmen, after a simple repair, the rent is surprisingly expensive, but it is still in short supply, travel!

The income of the lord's mansion far exceeded Liang Ke's expectations, and the clever Joanna took on the duties of the hostess early, in addition to taking out a part of it for charity according to Liang Ke's request, she invested a large amount of money in the trade of the imperial capital, and the scope of investment was almost all related to the specialties of the golden warehouse. Liang Ke told Joanna that a businessman who does not dare to invest in his own business home cannot be trusted by other investors, and even if he loses, he must let his collaborators build confidence, and it is gratifying that the returns on those investments are just as high.

This morning, Liang Ke walked out of the city hall with a smile on his face, he was very satisfied with Mo Lun's work, the rapid growth of the population is the biggest guarantee for the development potential of Jincang, Mo Ke now has a headache, how to restrict those nobles who want to move their families to this beautiful bay, this is the new task assigned to him by Liang Ke.

Liang Ke was talking and laughing with Piedro and the others, and was about to go to see the smoothbore artillery made by the dwarven craftsmen according to his design, when Cocoba walked over from him, and saw him frowning and trot all the way, Liang Ke knew that something urgent must have happened.

"My lord, something has happened to the Borneo wetlands!"

"Let's go into more detail. ”

"This morning, the seventh squad of the escort team was carrying out defense in the defense area of the Borneo River Fish Farm, and suddenly encountered a group of rare magical beasts, the soldiers fought hard, and suffered huge casualties, two cavalrymen were killed under the cover of their comrades, and General Fender has rushed to support with reinforcements, the details are not clear. ”

Liang Ke immediately realized the urgency of the situation from Kekeba's introduction, and instructed Kekeba to deploy the defense of the territory, and personally led a few troll guards to gallop west along the newly built road.

The fish farm in the depths of the wetland is very large, and the contribution of the Mingsi family's industry to the family is not too important, but this is almost the entire Jincang river fresh supply base, in addition to all kinds of fish, there are also a lot of aquatic fruits and vegetables and seasonings here, because it is barren and inhabited, and the value of the output is not much, so Fender only sent a small team to garrison. Usually, the officers and men of this squad do the most they do bare-armed, helping the fishermen to chase away the sand gulls hovering in the sky, and these fish thieves are always looking for opportunities to steal the fry in the fish pond.

In fact, according to Kekeba's instructions, the soldiers do this is a training subject that must be done every day, the long wooden pole is more than a dozen catties, the soldier grasps one end, if you want to wield it freely, it is not an easy thing, this kind of long-term professional training, is very important for the growth of cavalry arm strength.

Early this morning, fifty officers and soldiers still followed the previous habit, and after breakfast, they picked up four or five meters long wooden poles to help Daddy Kami in the fishing ground drive away those thieves and gulls, and Daddy Cami also habitually cooled a bucket of boiling water for these lovely sergeants, and then praised the soldiers of Jincang with a smile as the most kind private soldiers of the empire.

Such a harmonious scene froze at the moment when the sun had just swept over the treetops of the mangrove forest, the soldiers were laughing and talking about headless meat jokes one moment, and the next moment they heard a sharp whistle, and the whistle was instantly muffled by a huge roar from the air, and a dark cloud pressed over from the other end of the mangrove forest, and when everyone saw clearly those ugly guys who could fly, even these brave soldiers who had fought for their lives on the battlefield were so shocked that they almost couldn't hold the wooden pole in their hands.

When Liang Ke came here, the monster had already retreated, and Fender had already set up defenses and sent scouts to follow the trail of the monster into the depths of the wetland. Liang Ke and Fender checked the injuries of the soldiers one by one, bandaged their wounds, and looked at the wounded soldiers lying on the ground who couldn't stop moaning, Liang Ke's heart was dripping blood, and his anger rushed to the sky.

"Seventeen killed, nineteen seriously wounded, eleven lightly wounded, three missing, and the squad leader Intel was killed. ”

Liang Ke listened to the string of numbers that popped out of Fender's mouth, his eyebrows were twisted, and his face was blue and purple, he had killed people, faced tens of thousands of wolf riders of orcs, he knew that people would die in battle, but what he didn't expect was that in his own home, so many comrades were killed and injured in the mouth of the demonic beast. Sadness, anger, humiliation, all kinds of negative emotions tormented the young heart, and he gritted his teeth and swallowed back a mouthful of blood, and asked Fender in a calm tone as much as he could.

"Who is our enemy?"

"I asked the wounded soldiers, and no one could name the beast. ”

"You mean, there's only one type of monster?"

"Yes, it was a magical beast that looked very much like a dragonfly king, but they were huge, the small ones were more than two meters long, and they had two long tentacles on their heads, which were as sharp as steel knives and had their own poisons. Judging from the descriptions of the brothers, these monsters don't seem to like to eat people, their purpose seems to be a kind of Mingsuna barracuda in the fishing grounds, after the escort team lost its combat effectiveness, those monsters jumped into the water to catch the big barracuda, and after they were full, they caught some more, and then flew away. ”

"So, it's the farming industry that has brought us disaster?"

Fender did not answer, pointing to the north, and continued: "No more than a mile to the north is our clay field, where there is no garrison, and there are many more people than here, but there is no attack. Therefore, it can be concluded that these monsters are here for the fat fish. ”

Liang Ke nodded, agreeing with Fender's conclusion.

"So, what's next? What are we going to do?"

"I'm going to lay a net here and wait for them to come back. The fish in the field are the best bait, our soldiers are not lacking in combat effectiveness, this time they are only suffering from being raided, the defense is lax, and even everyone has no weapons in their hands, which leads to a fiasco, if they come again, I can guarantee that they will all be chopped into pieces of meat to feed the fish. ”

Liang Ke pinched a piece of transparent wing in his hand that had been knocked down by the soldier and nodded.

"You're right, we're careless. Blinded by the gold and silver of the Golden Warehouse, and closed by the melodious singing of the Mermaid of the Sea Clan, we became numb, we lost our vigilance, seventeen unwilling souls cursed our stupidity, and their families watched our actions with teary eyes. So, there's a lot of stuff that we have to do next. ”

Liang Ke once solemnly handed over the defense of the Golden Warehouse to himself, and Fender knew that it was his responsibility, and Liang Ke did not blame him, but these words tasted different to his ears.

"First of all, we need to set up observation posts around the territory, and you and Cocoba have a plan for the specific location of the observation posts, but the principle is that the news can be transmitted back to your command post within a minute.

Second, our troops are too single, and the problem can be seen from the last battle against the Sea Clan. Our formed cavalry looks mighty and majestic, but in the soft land and coconut groves of the golden warehouse, there is almost no power, that day the Sea Clan army really rushed ashore, I am afraid we have already become a group of underworld souls. Therefore, we must speed up the construction of a team of crossbowmen, if we have two thousand well-armed crossbowmen in our hands, whether it is against those who swim in the sea or fly in the sky, they will not seem so helpless. I'll give you half a year, you can ask Mo Lun for funds, equip me to solve it, and my requirement is that within 300 meters, you must have a multi-level sustained strike capability.

The most important thing at the moment is that we can't wait for those damn monsters to come and steal our fish again. One is that it is unknown whether they will come again, we can't afford to wait, if that kind of demonic beast comes in waves and waves, we can afford to consume it. There is a saying in my hometown, 'There is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves'. Then there is that we have to give an explanation to the deceased brothers and their families immediately, and we can't let a few stinky monsters lose the morale of the Jincang Guards. More importantly, we can't turn Jincang into a cheese that anyone can take a bite of, we have to tell everyone that whoever dares to touch every plant and tree in Jincang, we will make them regret coming to this world, whether he is a human or a monster, and no matter where he is, because this is our common home. “

Liang Ke's last few words were almost shouted out, these words were not only orders, but also aroused the blood of all the soldiers present, of course, including Grufende, who had been silent for a long time. He slammed his fist on the breastplate, his eyes red and shouted, "Defend the Golden Warehouse to the death!"

"Defend the Golden Warehouse to the death!"

"Defend the Golden Warehouse to the death!"

“......”

The general's oath was answered, the blood of the soldiers began to burn, the sound of the mountain and the tsunami lasted for a long time, and the wounded soldiers seemed to have forgotten the pain, and the momentum can indeed solve many problems.

The terrain of the wetlands was complicated, full of man-swallowing mire, and when the scout returned, it was late the next night, and he dragged his almost numb legs into Liang Ke's tent by the fish pond. Liang Ke put down the charcoal in his hand and stopped discussing the deployment of the defense system with Fender and Cocoba, and Piedro poured a cup of hot milk for the weak scout, who didn't care about the heat, and drank the milk dry with his head up, only to feel a little strength in his body.

"My lord, I followed the traces of those barracuda all the way, across the wetland, on the west side of the wetland is a bare stone mountain, those traces disappeared into a valley, I wanted to chase into the valley to see, but those monsters were extremely vigilant, several attempts were unsuccessful, I lurked at the mouth of the valley, observed those monsters for a long time, and then came back at night. ”

"You're doing a great job!" Liang Ke patted the scout on the shoulder.

"Saving one's life is the most important thing in war. Tell me what you see. ”

"Yes! I saw those monsters coming in and out, they seemed to be very busy, their purpose was to forage for food, and each monster flew back with a load of food. There should be a lot of monsters in the valley, but there is only one type, that valley is very sheltered, I can smell the rotten smell of corpses, I think maybe those monsters killed all the animals there. ”

"You said there are a lot of monsters, how many can there be?" Fender asked, frowning, obviously unhappy with the vague information the scout had given.

The scout was a little weak-hearted by Fender's reprimand, and replied in a trembling voice: "General, those demonic beasts almost all look the same, and it is really difficult to count the entry and exit of them, but I estimate that there are at least two hundred or more. ”

"Estimate! You ......"

"Fender, he's done very well, and it's rare for him to be able to lurk in the face of such a powerful enemy, and get this valuable information. Liang Ke spoke up to stop the enraged Fender, and turned to command Piedrow.

"Take this brother to bandage his bruised wounds, and then go to the military office to receive five gold coins, and the meritorious man must be duly rewarded. ”

The scout was grateful for Liang Ke's generosity, which was equivalent to a year's salary, and he suddenly felt that the wounds on his body did not seem to hurt, and his legs had strength, and his back straightened, and he strode out of the military tent with Piderot.
