Chapter 4: Miki Castle (Collection)
Ten miles in front of Red Earth Town, this place is desolate, there are not even a few weeds, and after careful consideration and a long time of investigation, the forest finally settled its castle here, and built a town with this place as the center.
"I think the name of this town is Miki Castle!" After knowing Lin Mu's thoughts, the wanderer named the town that had not yet been built, and this kid didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and smirked proudly after speaking. This made Xiao Ya really unbearable, so the two began to quarrel again, the theme revolved around the name of the town, Xiao Ya felt that the name of the town built by the young master should be a little taller.
"Miki City!" Lin Mu read these three words, and finally smiled slightly: "It's called Miki City, it's simple and easy to remember, and my name is indeed Miki when it is taken apart." ”
After the words were closed, Lin Mu folded his hands and quickly sealed, forming a series of very long and complex handprints, which made Wandering, Wen Yali and Mutt all look confused, after all, witchcraft and magic are completely different things, two completely different systems. After the handprint, the forest slapped on the ground, and the earth trembled, cracking huge cracks one after another, and huge stone slabs were erected from the cracks, perfectly fitting into a huge square city wall.
The nobility fought over land, food, livestock, and population, and the intensive wars gave birth to castles, and the nobles built more and more castles to defend their territories. In addition to the military defensive use, the castle also has the purpose of political expansion of territory and control of places, so for a nobleman, the castle is also a symbol, a symbol of identity strength and status.
Generally speaking, the construction of a castle can be completed in less than a year, or it may take more than 20 years, and the manpower, material resources and resources consumed to build a castle are very huge. However, Lin Mu used witchcraft, and the ancestral witch Houtu's control over the earth directly extracted a large number of rocks from the ground to form a tall building, which was the main fort, that is, Lin Mu's home, and it was formed in just half an hour. He has a home, but Lin Mu's true strength has also been consumed, and he no longer has the ability to use witchcraft.
Seeing that the forest was tired, Wen Yali took out a magic wand with an emerald green vine entwined around it, and at the top was a magic wand with a huge magic core. I'm rubbing, the elf clan is so rich, and the background is so rich, look at the volume of this demon core, this is at least at the level of a holy beast. Moreover, although the magic wand was just a simple branch, the strong breath of life on it showed that this branch was definitely broken from the tree of life.
Wen Yali held a magic wand and slowly floated into the air, her red lips softly chanting the ancient elf language. As Wen Yali chanted, a large amount of earth elements condensed, giving people a feeling of heaviness. The earth trembled again, this time even more so than the witchcraft of the woods, and it was much more extensive, and at once it encircled ten miles of land. A large amount of granite formed a huge enclosure wall with a square height of fifty meters, which was the outer fortress, that is, the outer defense of the castle, that is, the outer city wall!
The castle's stone walls are designed to protect against fire and defend against arrows and other projectile attacks, making it impossible for enemies to climb steep walls without equipment such as ladders and siege towers. Defenders at the top of the walls can shoot arrows downward or throw objects at the besiegers. The besiegers were thus completely exposed to open space, and were at a disadvantage when shooting upwards compared to the defenders, who had the advantage of strong protection and shooting downwards. If a wall is built on a cliff or other high cliff, its effectiveness and defensive value will be greatly increased. The gates and entrances to the walls will be reduced as much as possible to provide greater defense. Because the castle is in the plain, the city wall must be high, if it is not for the lack of magic power, Wen Yali wants to raise another twenty meters!
Along with the appearance of the city walls, there were castle towers and castle battlements, which were built on the corners or walls of the city at regular intervals as strong strongholds. The tower protrudes from the level wall, allowing defenders in the tower to shoot in the direction the wall is facing. The arrows at the corners of the castle allow the defenders to expand the direction of the attack and shoot at different angles, and the role of the arrow tower is to protect the castle from all sides.
A battlement is a platform behind the top of a wall that allows defenders to stand and fight, and a pass above the wall that allows defenders to shoot outwards or be partially covered during battle. These passes could be added with wooden traps for additional protection, and narrow firing ports could be placed in the city walls, allowing archers to be fully protected when firing.
The earth continued to burst and then caved down, creating a moat and moat to protect the castle, and in order to accentuate the height of the wall, a trench would be dug at the bottom of the wall, which would surround the entire castle and fill it with running water as much as possible to form a moat. Trenches and moats make it more difficult to attack walls directly. If an armored soldier falls into the water, he can easily drown, even if the water is shallow.
The presence of the moat also makes it more difficult for enemies to dig tunnels under the castle, as diggers can easily drown in the moat's water if the tunnels collapse during the excavation. In some siege cases, the besiegers would try to drain the water from the moat before attacking, then fill in the dry moat, and then use siege towers or ladders to storm the walls.
With Wen Yali's help, the outer fort was completed, except for a drawbridge and a gate. About a mile from the main fort, an inner wall of 30 meters high was erected, and the outer fort was an open area, bounded by the outer and inner walls. In this way, the castle of the forest was erected in less than an hour, although there were no other buildings except the city wall and the main castle, but after all, this is its own castle, and the forest wood feels pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.
The woods release the vampire vine and let it cling to the inner walls, adding some greenery and life to the desolate castle. Seeing the vampire vines that were huge and could already act independently, and possessed extraordinary spirituality, Wen Yali and Mutt's eyes were a little hot.
"Wow, you're going to make the vampire vine the first line of defense in the inner fort!" Seeing the vampire vine spreading to the entire inner city wall and defending the entire inner fort at once, the wanderer couldn't help but sigh with emotion, let the vampire vine defend it, which is estimated to be only possible for Lin Mu. The Vampire Vine is no threat to the master, but to the average soldier, it is a monstrous beast that chooses to devour people. Especially under the nourishment of the sunlight of the forest, it will continue to evolve, no one knows to what extent the vampire vine will evolve, if it waits until the vampire vine evolves to the advanced level of the warcraft, then it will be a terrifying line of defense.
After releasing the vampire vines, Lin Mu released the demon flowers again, and this is not only his home, but also the home of these plants in the future. In addition to the vampire vines and demon flowers, Lin Mu also plans to plant a large number of sunflowers in his inner castle, and also ...... When Lin Mu was planning what he should plant in his inner castle, Sharon quickly rushed over and said, "Boss, the slaves you bought have already arrived, and the master wants you to go over and hand them over." ”
"Just in time, my castle has been built, Sharon, how about you take a look?"
"Uh......" Sharon was tempted to say that the castle was desolate, but looking at the elated appearance of the woods, the words changed to "very large, this is the largest and most magnificent castle I have ever seen." This was true, after all, Sharon had never seen any other castle.
"This is my castle, and it is also the lord's castle of Miki City in the future, okay, let's go and greet the first residents of Miki City!" At this moment, Lin Mu was in high spirits, showing the demeanor of a lord on his body!
