Chapter 20 [Digging a Pit]
Chapter 20 [Digging a Pit]
Rhodes, who returned to the gate of the elven territory, saw that bamboos more than a meter high had been piled up at the door, and couldn't help but praise Barnett and his soldiers, the army came out so steadfast and hardworking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But now these soldiers only obey Barnett alone, and some of them make it difficult for Rod to carry out defensive work, and Rod still hopes to carry forward this trick, after all, it is still a bit troublesome and time-consuming to set up these large traps alone, Rod thought to himself: at least until he has their allegiance, the trick still can't teach them.
Even Barnett, if it weren't for the old king's face, how could he follow him and protect him, this Rod knew very well. However, these people can use it to do chores, after all, even if they are allowed to see it, they can't understand it, and some of the techniques and skills contained in it can't be learned in ten days and half a month.
Rhodes, who is busy, can forget time. Rhodes doesn't remember how many bow and arrow catapults he has made and installed, anyway, there is already a row at the door of the elves, and it is estimated that there are so many.
Among them, there were a lot of failures, and the sharp bamboo pieces ejected out in an instant, almost hurting Rod, but fortunately, Rod's doing these is also a veteran, and he has long been wary of these possible problems, and today is also considered to be in danger, otherwise some people will be sad again.
For example........ hyacinth who waited for Rhodes to make him a hand crossbow. Now no one is more worried about Rod's safety than Hyacinth, and no one expects Rod's mechanical skills to be powerful, but he is still waiting for the safe passage of the 'beast tide', and then take the crossbow made for him by Rhodes himself, and ascend to the throne of the first archer of the elven clan.
I have to say that Hyacinth still has some status in the clan, and within an hour, Hyacinth actually called all the male elves of the clan to the door of the territory, I don't know if it is because of the irresistible temptation of 'improving archery skills', or because of the coercion and temptation of Hyacinth.
When Rhodes was 'improving archery skills' to these elves, he didn't often hear that these elves were already talking about going to Hyacinth's house for a big meal after finishing work.
When it comes to going to Hyacinth's house for a big meal, these elves can't stop at all, gossiping, you and me, that look, that hara, are about to drip into Rod's hands, these elves have been praising the sister of Hyacinth's family....It seems to be called Fenglan, saying that she is beautiful and the dishes are well cooked.
Forty-six male elves, excluding the hyacinths that have been dripping with 'pure bottle water', a total of forty-five, with the orderly cooperation of everyone, it was all completed in less than ten minutes, and Rod was glad that Hyacinth said that he would go to his house for a big meal after finishing work, and if he said that he would eat after 'raising', he might have rioted.
However, there are also some elves who ask Rod why dripping water can 'improve archery skills', and Rod smiled slightly at this and did not answer, but kept repeating the 'net bottle of water' for them one by one, anyway, he will understand when the time comes. Isn't it also an improvement to be able to perform your own divine marksmanship for three more days a month?
As for the true effect of the 'Pure Bottle of Water', he won't explain, anyway, these elves won't believe the fact that they won't be impatient anymore, it's useless to say it, as long as these elves are obedient, Rhodes will make preparations together, and when the 'beast tide' comes, these sober elves will naturally come together to defend their home, after all, this is their home.
During this period, Rod also met an old acquaintance Dog Tail, when he jokingly asked if Dog Tail was going to go to Hyacinth's house after work, Dog Tail said no, he was only ordered by the princess to come over to see what could be helped, seeing that everyone was queuing, and thought that the work had to line up first, he also took a few of his people to line up here.
Hearing Dog Tail say this, Rod was still moved, but he didn't expect Jasmine to be angry about his 'rough' behavior, and specially explained that Dog Tail brought someone over to help, what a good princess for the country and the people. Rhodes also made up his mind to win the first battle in the Roland Continent, for the elves, for Jasmine, and for returning to Heaven.
Solve the problem of elves' restlessness,Next, it's going to be a big deal about traps、The construction of mechanisms,Of course, the more this thing, the better.,Now that there are more people, the traps and mechanisms that didn't dare to be implemented before can be tried.,Of course, let these elves do some technical work.,They won't.。
Therefore, the highest level of the trap, the originator - digging a pit, has become an excellent choice, this kind of thing has no technical content, only requires a lot of manpower, but it can attack it unprepared, unguardable, so that you can never know where the next pit dug for you is.
Rhodes believed that manic orcs would never take a step at a time to explore whether there were any pits in the ground after seeing humans.
These traps don't need to be too deep, one person is tall enough, and then burying a few sharpened wooden stakes in the pit will definitely turn the orcs upside down. Rhodes didn't believe that an orc who had been pierced would be able to get up from the pit.
The number of pits is twenty, the pit is one meter wide, staggered, in a group of two, led by hyacinths. As long as these people are not lazy, Rhodes believes that it can still be done, but with hyacinths, these elves must be very hard for the beauty and the feast.
The remaining six people are led by the dog's tail to make the wooden stakes needed for the trap, five in a pit, a total of one hundred, no need to be thick or big, the point is to be sharp enough, sharp enough to be sour enough!
The length is 60 centimeters, buried 20 centimeters in the ground, to prevent the force from falling, protruding 40 centimeters from the ground, whether it is flat or standing down, it is enough to pierce it. This is the best choice in terms of time.
In addition to these traps, that is, to prepare arrows, Rhodes asked these elves, they don't have many reserve arrows, about ten per person, they usually hunt, and there are not many prey, most of them are still fed by food, and they can't use it when the 'beast tide' causes a tragic situation on the scene.
Ten per person is definitely not enough to deal with orcs, shooting orcs into hornet's nests, Rod doesn't dare to think about it, but at least it has to be suppressed by firepower, and Rod still needs a lot of hand crossbows, which is an important weapon for breaking defenses and sniping.
So arrow-making has become the second focus, but time is really limited, and it is estimated that there are only six people who have time to make arrows with a dog's tail, and how much can be done, I can't think about it so much now.
It's best for the orcs to have a black eye, just rush to Aldington, and give him an extra month, then the effect of the 'pure bottle of water' will be reflected, and Rhodes will naturally become the big hero of the elf race, and at that time he is afraid that there are not enough people?
Hehe..... it seems that I have thought too much, so let's work hard honestly and get through this difficult time first.
