Chapter 194: Border Construction

Successfully defeated the opponent, killed 7 people, captured 4 people, and the little spoon was full of a sense of achievement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 With a pestle of his spear, he told the four captives to get up, line up, and walk towards the place of the large outpost. I pressed the formation at the end, and these people couldn't escape, and they also had injuries on their legs, but fortunately, the injuries were not serious, and they limped a little harder, but they were still able to walk.

The little spoon is not a person who likes to kill everything, once he really shoots, he will not show mercy, and once he stops, he will also leave a little leeway. Assassins are not the kind of people who will kill people at the first opportunity, and they will be uncomfortable if they don't. The corpses on the ground are left there, and the little spoon has no ability to deal with it alone, and these people probably don't have any good things on them, and they don't bother to scavenge them. Leave it to the military the next day.

It wasn't until 10 a.m. that the four wounded captives limped to the outpost. The weather outside was too cold, the blood in the injured area was frozen, and one thigh was almost unconscious, although it was only a small wound called a dart, but such a long lame leg rushed to make the willpower of the four people seem to reach the limit. When they saw the outpost, they finally fell in unison and fainted.

The sentinels hurried out and subconsciously gave them some humane treatment. But in the end, one died, and the sneak attacker who was poked by the spear was too wounded, and after walking like this for a while, he finally had no power to return to the sky. The other people who had darts in their legs made it back alive, but they didn't have much fun.

After this toss-up, coupled with the poor medical conditions here, their legs are likely to be disabled for life. There is no way around it, there are no priests here, and there are no healing items such as holy water. Even if you want to save it, you can only do some simple bandaging. It's easy to leave some sequelae, and it's up to them to decide what happens.

The three sneak attackers looked so miserable that they even shed tears. For these poor mercenaries, the body is almost their last capital, once the injury is difficult to heal, it is equivalent to not being able to work, it is equivalent to having no money, it is equivalent to starvation, if there is still someone in their family to support, then the whole family will die together.

The interrogation must continue. These three people also knew everything, and the people who surrendered directly naturally did not have any firm will, and it was time to confess. These people are indeed the ones who came to challenge during the day, and their mercenary group has just been established for two years, called the Vulture Mercenary Group. In order to make a name for himself, the head of the regiment came to challenge the frozen husky.

As a result, he was naturally defeated, but he was unwilling in his heart, and he thought that no one was just about winning or losing. Just grab a soldier and claim to win the husky, but it's not clear. The fame has gone up, and the task is easy to receive, there are many monks and few porridges over there, and many small mercenary groups are working hard to move up.

In this way, an attack on a small post in the middle of the night is a good proposition. But because it was too dangerous, the mercenaries in the regiment also drew lots to decide who would come, and it happened that a few of them were drawn, so they came. This time 22 of them came, 8 died, 3 were taken prisoner, and the other 11 managed to escape.

That's all these low-level mercenaries know, and they don't know who asked them to come, who posted the mission, who sent the news, or what the hell is going to do at the top.

At the end of the interrogation, several officers gathered for a meeting, including the spoon. They actually disapprove of Little Spoon's behavior of attacking alone in the middle of the night. It's too dangerous, and it's kind of robbing them of their jobs. But the problem is that Little Spoon is not their subordinate, and has no authority to order her, and she is not explicitly told not to go out at night or something. What's more, she is extraordinary, and it is not reasonable for her to successfully guard the outpost and accept criticism.

Little Spoon was still full of pride at this time, feeling that he had done a big thing, and said that he would sleep in a small outpost in the future. The deputy head of the regiment and others still wanted to dissuade a few words, but Xiao Spoon didn't listen to it every time, and she also said that she was originally here to exercise, not to be protected.

The crowd couldn't dissuade them, so they could only follow her. Later, we discussed how to settle these prisoners? Staying here is really a waste of food, and the army does not have enough to eat for themselves. Three injuries are not of much value, and it is troublesome to send them back to the city, and it is not too cruel to kill.

The soldiers took advantage of the commanders' negotiation and led the team to the small outpost, dragged back the 7 corpses, and buried all 8 people on the spot, along with the one who died here. Then he asked the three captives and learned the names of all of them, but all three were illiterate and knew only the pronunciation.

The soldiers didn't care too much, so they wrote it casually according to the pronunciation, and set up eight tombstones. There are no good conditions here, and there are no whole planks. Eventually, the soldiers had an idea and ran to the opposite post to dismantle the bedboard. The opposite post has been empty since the defeat, and there is no need to use it in vain.

The tombstones face the country of Leibozier, and they are buried in a line along the border, and the eight tombstones are neatly packed, and the eight tombstones are shocking. When the opposing soldiers come back, or when the mercenary group comes to challenge again, I don't know how to feel when faced with this row of graves. The three captives stood stupidly in front of the grave, and they were actually very worried in their hearts, afraid that the soldiers would dig up three of them.

At the same time, the commanders finally decided that the three captives should be deported. The three captives breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces were not very happy, and they might not have a good life when they returned. But after all, this is their business, others can't help, the deputy head can only express regret, seeing that their legs are pitiful, he gave them three wooden sticks to walk, and by the way, he gave a few copper coins.

Although it looks like sending three beggars, in reality there is a shortage of supplies, and things like sticks are fuel, so it is very good to give them three. By the way, let them bring a message, I hope the mercenary group in the city will not come over again, etc. By the way, bring a few copper coins, anyway, the officers here are not bad for money, the border troops are in a difficult environment, but the military salary is far higher than the average legion.

The three captives were so moved that they even knelt down exaggeratedly, crying bitterly and shouting, "Thanks to the huskies!"

Everyone: "......"

Looking at their appearance, it seems that they are sincere, but no one bothered with the title issue. People who are desperate will always have a lot of feelings, even if they are given a few copper coins at this time, they will be grateful to Dade. Of course, the value of the currencies of the two countries is different, and a few copper coins in Lou Baole are enough for them to live for three to five days.

Send off the captives, and life will continue as it is. Every day, there will still be a mercenary group to challenge, and the deputy head will fight, and every battle will be won. Little Spoon also runs long distances every day and then goes to sleep at the small outpost. But since that time, there have been no sneak attacks at night. I don't know if I didn't meet it by chance, or if the other party really didn't dare to come again.

Time flies, three days have passed. The wolf army of the frozen capital is running out of food here and has to retreat. However, it was the middle of the night when it was withdrawn, and the camp where it was stationed had not been uprooted, and the elite masters such as the deputy regiment commander were stationed here, and the defenders who had been stationed there had all retreated, except for the captain.

Although the combat effectiveness has weakened a lot, anyway, the mercenary group likes to go head-to-head, and the camp is still there, and it can basically fool the past. Even if you can't fool it, they are all masters here, and if you really want to fight, even if there are about thirty people, it is enough to challenge a mercenary group of hundreds of people.

At this time, the king of the kingdom of Liberzier finally succeeded in gathering all the city lords and nobles for a meeting. But there was basically no substantive progress in this meeting, and most of the city lords thought about themselves, and the border guards would be arrested, but they were not my subordinates, and it was my business? Lou Baole Guo was also vague at this time, and the envoy did not pass back useful information, and every day someone came back "xxx was abused by the husky" and so on, and the king was also very angry.

In fact, there are no more than several plans, first, the border guard simply doesn't want it, just treat him as dead and promote another one. Second, spend some money to Lou Baole Guo and redeem people, Lou Baole Guo has no reaction at present, it is likely to wait for their attitude. Third, be tough, find a way to arrest people of the same level as Lou Baoler, and then exchange hostages. Fourth, be tougher and send troops directly.

These four choices were not so easy to choose, and the king's think tank was also arguing, and there was no result for a while, so they could only drag it on.

Another three weeks have passed. The name of the frozen husky has spread in the country of Leibozier, from the border cities to the outside, and there are various versions of it. But one thing is for sure, the mercenaries took turns in battle, but none of them were their opponents. What kind of wolf and tiger are abused by huskies, and they are undoubtedly the object of ridicule by everyone.

The mercenaries have been working against the regular army, and this time it seems to be a trick for the regular army to catch it. But soon, the mercenaries also began to fight back: "When I went, how did I remember that our border posts were empty?" "Our border guards? This is not the work of our mercenaries?" "If you can't beat us yourself, you will still laugh at us when you put us on top?" ......

The mouth cannon in the tavern, the bard's squirting is not so easy to decide the winner, and the more powerful the squirting, it just makes the contradiction more and more intense. The fundamental problem has not been solved, and only one wants to use the frozen husky to transfer, but it is only temporary.

And at this moment, Lou Baole broke a news in China. The king suddenly began to film up, announced the establishment of the membrane law guild, vigorously promoted the study of membrane law, expanded the city, and added decrees. The news quickly spread around the world, and countries around the world did not agree on it.

Some people said they were wait-and-see, others said they were bored. The so-called membrane method is nothing but a combination of technology and magic, but is it necessary to create a new word for this combination? Or even create a new system? Many foreign scholars feel that this is just a boring thing that King Lou Pauler made up in order to add some merits to himself.

There are also those who condemn the development of science and technology that is not in line with the ideas of the Church. Others see it more clearly, that is just an attempt to circumvent various provisions of international law, leaving some room for ridicule. After the end of the First Holy War, the Church of Light banned all dark magic, but then it was restarted in the name of the gray ** law. This eventually led to the outbreak of the Second Jihad.

Many seemingly lofty terms are just changing the name of the same thing, but in practical considerations, it is necessary to change the name. For the membrane law, there are those who wait, condemn, and see through, but there are no people who agree with it, at least not yet.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs skillfully blocked these voices with diplomatic rhetoric: "Our membrane is reasonable, legal, and necessary, and will be normalized in the future." It is hoped that all parties will take a sober view and not cause unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

No one will take it seriously if there are no substantive measures, just words of condemnation. The Membrane Law Guild is operating normally, and another week has passed.

On this day, the frozen capital border post finally ushered in the head of the regiment who had not returned for a long time, and the little spoon had been wondering that such a big thing had happened here, and the head of the regiment had not come back yet, and he had always been the deputy head of the regiment. Now it is finally understood that the head of the regiment has more important things to do. This time, the head of the regiment not only brought back two people from the mercenary group, but also brought three membrane mages.

The fundamental willingness of the border to be at a disadvantage all year round lies in the environment, and if the environment can be changed, then everything will be solved. For this reason, the head of the regiment wandered around the membrane law guild, which can be regarded as a waste of effort, and finally brought in enough manpower.

An old mage with two young mages checked the terrain over and over again, and quickly came up with a plan. The first step is to build roads! The cold weather is still the second, and the transportation problem is the key. Transportation solutions, all together are easy to do.

Although it is cold, it can be used. If you can build an ice road and the vehicle can be converted into skates, then the speed will naturally be much faster. Of course, there are several issues that need to be addressed.

The main reason is that the elements are scarce in the wilderness, and even if the water element freezes, it is easy to volatilize in the air after a night, and the ice road will disappear naturally. In order to prevent the ice road from volatilizing, crystal stones are either planted along the road, but this is a bit costly. Either keep replenishing water along the way.

In the end, the membrane mages chose the latter, and at the same time, the ice road was also improved to turn the ice road into an ice track, leaving the wheels to be able to mount the track. This not only saves water, but also reduces the air contact area and reduces volatilization. Each transportation is just the same thin tube on the wheels of the vehicle, and the water is replenished while walking. The special environment here ensures that the ice track does not melt all year round.

Trains can be run on ice tracks, but the power is still horse-pulled, and elemental magic is only a concept at the moment. And the use of space spells to retract and release and then gravity drive, etc., is too large, and it is currently a concept for Lou Baole Kingdom.

Horse-drawn trains, not very fast, even on ice tracks. It was supposed to take a week to deliver the goods, but now it is estimated that it is still a week. However, the amount of goods that can be delivered by one train is enough to match the original volume of eight times out of ten. This is definitely good news for the border post, at least to be able to take a bath.

After the road is repaired, then the outposts along this side can be improved. It will also be much more convenient to transport building materials such as civil engineering masonry and stone, the city wall is currently impossible, it is too long, but it is still possible to build a few magic towers. Once the magic tower is established, the defense capability will immediately increase by several levels, and the early warning and detection will be greatly enhanced.

Even around the outpost, vegetables can be grown. The soil here is not good, but it can be transported directly from the city. It's too cold here, so you can use enchantment to isolate the vegetable patch. Regardless, there's plenty of light. The place is so big, and the sentries are idle.

Of course, there is still a long way to go to achieve these goals. No one has ever done the ice track, it is only a theoretical calculation, but there may be many problems in practice, and this road is extremely long and difficult.

But even so, the old mage was still extremely heroic, and directly divided the people into three parts, the main city had the most people, they repaired from the city gate to the outpost, and the outpost had the fewest people, they repaired in the direction of the main city. And there is actually a group of people who are arranged in the middle position, they first repair in the direction of the main city, and then repair in the direction of the outpost when they are almost done, and the three sides are closed.

When he said the plan, the jaws of the crowd dropped. If this is not closed if there is a miscalculation, wouldn't it be necessary to build three roads?

Seeing their expressions, the old mage immediately disdained: "Isn't it just one way to make a fuss? ”
