Chapter 10: A Strong Fortress

The whole squad was galloping through the woods, and they not only maintained their speed, but also maintained their formation, according to Lillian's requirements, and the stormtroopers and defensive fighters were always paired together, and they were not allowed to be separated too far.

"Lillian, should we develop a cavalry?" said Brian.

"As long as the war horse is solved, nothing else is a problem, and I have also studied the tactics of cavalry. "Lillian was always behind Brian's side.

"Anyone can buy a war horse for any money, but I hope there is a better mount than a horse. ”

"Of course, there are, griffons, unicorns, giant scorpions, and landwalkers. ”

"None of this is easy, there are only two griffons in the Refuge Farm, and I wonder if there are any beasts in the Misty Forest that can be trained to become durable and high-speed mounts. ”

"Then I'm going to go to the primitive hunter village and ask around. ”

"Leave this matter to Jonathan. ”

Brian came to the Raptors Fortress and saw a tall and sturdy wall, with crossbow arrows on the wall, a moat being dug outside the wall, a drawbridge lowered, and Jonathan with several officers greeted him.

"My lord has worked hard all the way. Jonathan saluted and took Brian's bridle.

"Jonathan, strong again, up to level three?" Brian dismounted and greeted the group.

"Yes, if you don't level up, you won't be able to catch up with your team, and now the soldiers in the fortress are all following the example of the outlaw squad. Jonathan said.

"You have more chores, so don't overdo your training. Brian said, "Did Louis and Dalton catch it?"

"Of course they did, but they didn't know that there had been several rings of metal netting buried outside the fortress, all of which were the work of the dwarves. ”

"Dwarves' trick is very effective in preventing sneak attacks. Brian laughed, "Lillian, go and stimulate the assassins' nerves a little, and then make them understand why they were exposed." ”

Brian walked across the drawbridge to the gate, knocked on the freshly cast iron door with his hand, and complimented, "It's so thick that the Magus will have a headache when he looks at it." ”

"The dwarves' smelting skills are really needless to say, they are also very good at digging, according to your idea, they have already started digging the bottom of the river, and in two months, they will be able to reach the opposite side. Jonathan reported, "But my lord, with the defensive strength of the Raptors Fortress, I think digging this tunnel is a bit redundant?"

"What about keeping a hand for everything, in case you need it in the future?" said Brian, "what about the prisoners of the Alliance for Liberty and Equality?"

"There was really one who committed suicide by hunger, and the others, all of them were honest, and they heard that they were paid for their work, and most of them volunteered to participate in logging. ”

"Okay, lock them up for a month, and let those who are willing to leave be let go, and those who are willing to stay, let them continue to do it. Brian pouted, "Damn, I don't believe everybody loves to think about sin." ”

Brian, accompanied by Jonathan, climbed the city wall, the ground was lined with rows of weapon racks, filled with throwing spears and hook guns, every ten meters, there was a huge copper tank, which was full of black fire oil, and a large number of wood and stones were placed, Brian stood on the highest arrow stack, overlooking the whole situation, very satisfied with Jonathan's work.

Jonathan saw that the outlaw team was training again, and let out a sigh of admiration: "My lord, do you want to train the team to be a diamond iron bone, I don't dare to think that if I am inside, can I hold it?"

"It's not that I'm so perverted, it's the vice-captain's, you know, super girl. ”

"My lord, this time we attack the mouth of the Mausse River, we want to ask to join the battle, the battle on the water, we have boats. Jonathan begged.

"Don't ask me, this battle is commanded by Longfellow, and whoever he asks him to participate in, including my outlaw squad, must also obey the command. Brian said, "But with his experience, he will naturally consider you, but you reminded me that I will build a few warships in the future." ”

"With dwarves here, it's not a problem to build anything, it's just too expensive, and I'm sometimes embarrassed to ask Toby Town to reach out. ”

"Don't worry, Toby Town has money, just spend it, this fortress won't be able to stop a legion in the future, I'm going to trouble you. ”

"With the words of my lord, I guarantee that it will block two legions. Jonathan swore an oath.

Brian laughed, "Boy, don't brag. ”

Unbeknownst to Brian, two years later, he was condemned as a heretic by the Church of Wisdom and Light, and the three most powerful legions under the Church's command surrounded his fiefdom, and the Raptors Fortress under his feet would usher in one of the most tragic battles of his life.

Lilian put her hands behind her back, looked at the nine team members fiercely, and said sternly: "I know what you guys are thinking now, you may all think that you should take a break after running nearly a hundred kilometers just now, but I'm sorry, it's impossible." Everyone should be excited to see the river in front of them, because in a few days the battle will be on the water, have you fought in the water? ”

"Nope. Everyone replied in unison.

"Very well, then, if you have to swim through the water with your equipment on your back, if you have to fight the enemy in the river, can you win?" ”

"I don't know. ”

"Since I don't know, let's go to the water to find the answer, and now everyone wears full armor and carries weapons, and makes four trips back and forth. Lillian saw Betsy raise her hand, "What's wrong, Betsy?"

"Report, I ...... I can't swim. Betsy's voice was like that of a mosquito.

Everyone let out a burst of sneer, and was immediately stopped by Lilian's gaze, and she said, "A southerner, can't swim? Okay, I'll give you an afternoon and find a way to learn." ”

Many workers and soldiers were watching this training, and they even forgot what they were doing, thinking that a few people in the river were too crazy, such a wide and rapid water, and swimming in armor, and they were dying? They also saw a soldier who could not swim, rushing into the river, struggling desperately on the water, and finally sinking, and he held the stones in the river, and miraculously walked ashore. Then he rushed into the river again, repeating what he had just done, and he held on like this for more than half an hour, and he was able to float on the water, although his posture was not very good, it was an ugly dog planing style.

Everyone was applauding him, even the stupid Giant of the Plains slapped him thickly.

Betsy finally swam ashore, lay on the ground, kept spitting water in his mouth, spit it clean, wiped his eyes, and jumped into the Luyin River again.

Lillian had been standing on the shore, guarding her soldiers, unmoved.
