Chapter Ninety-Six: The Eastern Crusade
Late at night, Delin finally finished his busy first day after returning to Tarzan, and came to his bedroom a little tired. After nearly 2 months of construction, Pittsburgh has begun to take shape, covering an area of about 4,000 square meters, 15 meters high, divided into four floors, with a total of 101 rooms. In addition, there is a defensive tower at the top, which is manned day and night for defense. The first floor is the office hall of the various departments, the second floor is the rooms where the followers live, the third floor is the place to receive VIPs, including the auditorium, restaurants and guest rooms, and the fourth floor is the private place of Delin and Jamili, but there are a bit more rooms, there are more than 10 rooms. Like Jamiri said, it's a bit of a waste.
"Young Master......" Jamili had already fallen asleep, but woke up again after hearing Delin's footsteps.
"Well, why haven't you slept yet? I heard Xiao Ai and Sophie say that you have been meditating hard these days. Delin caressed her cheek lovingly, "Don't be so desperate, I can solve many things, and when I'm done with these few days, I'll accompany you well." Delin said.
"Well, young master, will you take me with you when you go out again in the future? Jamiri said.
"No, I can't. Delin replied, looking at Jamiri's puzzled look, and then suddenly smiled, "I won't leave until we go to the Cartesian Academy of Magic together." Delin suddenly took Jamiri in his arms and began to move further.
Early the next morning, several bodies were carried and thrown into the Luce River. They all wanted to go to report to the group in the eastern part of the Tarzan Territory last night, but they were all intercepted and killed by Tim and the old wild dog with the assistance of Thunder Eagle. Looking at the corpses that were carried away, the more than 700 people lined up next to the barracks were secretly frightened, the power of the lord was far from being as simple as he saw.
Delin rode on top of a tall boar, one of the most powerful boars other than the boar king, Pete Ju, who was a full two meters tall. Because of the flesh and blood essence body casting technique, Delin's height at this time was close to one meter eight, his figure was slightly slender, and he looked quite imposing when he put on a blue quality armor. Coupled with the majesty of being in a high position, the image of a powerful aristocrat began to gradually penetrate into the hearts of these lords.
Charlie is also here with Lum and Old Wild Dog, who also intend to participate in the next battle. Most of the powerful thorns in Taishan City have already come here, with the old blacksmith and the old cripple in charge, plus a law enforcement team of more than 30 people, it is enough to stabilize the situation in the city.
"I think you're ready! Now, let's take down the thieves who are blocking our fortunes, and let them see the strength of our Tarzan leaders!" Delin raised his hand in pursuit, its huge shape was obviously more convincing, and more in line with the situation at this time, after all, the sorrow was too delicate.
"them!" someone in the group cheered, but not many responded. Delin looked in the direction, and it was the Black Iron Lump. And they came here, too.
"Now, go, wealth and glory await you!" Delin ordered, and let the queen walk at the front of the line.
"Wow!~" Thunder Eagle let out a loud roar in the air, as if it was not to be outdone. Many people looked at the sky in amazement, and some were ready for battle, but then they discovered that this majestic thunder eagle seemed to have some kind of connection with the lord, as if it was the lord's magic pet. This discovery once again made everyone think that Delin's status in their hearts has improved a lot. Such a rare and powerful Warcraft is not available to everyone, it takes luck, and even more so, strength.
The recruits rode on tall horses, but they didn't look much taller than the leading boar knights. Their armor is painted with two white concentric circles, while the mercenaries have a white circle, which is a mark to distinguish them from the enemy, so as not to be accidentally injured in a melee. The 200-strong Recruit Knight was divided into 10 squads, each led and commanded by a Boar Knight as the captain, while the 500-strong mercenary corps formed their own large and small groups, and determined their own captains and distribution methods. Of course, you think that you are strong enough to be the first to rush into the enemy position after the order to charge, provided that your legs can outrun the war horse or those crazy wild boars, and then maintain a good combat effectiveness, otherwise you will not earn military merit but send you to death.
Old Wild Dog and Tim were the first to disappear into the eastern forest with the army of thieves, Delin and the mage group composed of Charlie and others walked on the side of the knight army, and the mercenary army walked at the rear, some of them had their own mounts, but after all, they were a minority.
Three hours later, at the foot of a hidden mountain, a thief came to deliver a message: "Lord Lord, there is a gang of more than 500 bandits ahead, the strength is very weak, and the thieves have been controlled. Captain Thiem wants to hurry up and attack. ”
"Very well, you lead the way ahead!Cover up and try to destroy them all!" Delin gave the order to all.
Twenty minutes later, looking at the unsuspecting camp below, Delin waved his hand, and a team of more than 700 people surrounded the center of the valley from all directions. The crowd below was both frightened and frightened, and five minutes later, the battle ended, killing more than 300 enemies and taking more than 200 prisoners. With less than 30 casualties, Delin's side won a big victory.
Subsequently, within this day, Delin led his men to exterminate a total of 3 weak bandit gangs, killing more than 1,000 enemies and capturing more than 1,000 enemies.
That night, Delin and others returned to Taishan with a large number of prisoners of war, rewarded for meritorious deeds, placed prisoners of war, and had their own relevant personnel to carry them out. Compared with the results of the battle, Delin is more concerned about the development of the territory behind. People who stand at the top of the spectrum tend to look further, and while many people are still immersed in victory, Delin has already begun to think about the future development of the territory.
Today's several battles, there are really not many points worth paying attention to, basically the crushing of strength, first of all, their own thieves and scouts cut off the enemy's eyes and ears with absolute superiority, making it deep in a siege and unknowable, and then besieged from all sides, the process is simple, and there is no accident.
The only thing worth paying attention to is the performance of the warrior named Luo Xiu who asked about the "Hundred People Slash" last night, his strength is very strong, not to mention that he is a level 17 sky knight, and his evil spirit is enough to make the opponent of him invisibly suppressed by two percent of his strength. After each order to charge, he was the first to rush into enemy lines, and then began to slaughter indiscriminately. Every time he fights, he is covered in blood, like the legendary god of death. Moreover, every time Luo Xiu bathed in blood, he could feel that his strength had reached a higher level. Delin asked Zorrom, which of the two of them is stronger? Zorom said that he is not inferior to him in absolute strength, but his combat ability is much higher than his own, and that evil spirit and fighting spirit can occupy a great advantage, but he can rely on his equipment advantage to fight him without a match. Such an evaluation made Delin attach great importance to Luo Xiu.
The statistics have come out, Luo Xiu killed a total of 67 enemies today, ranking first, it is worth mentioning that there is not a single prisoner in his exploits, that is, the place he passed is a corpse. No one wants to get close to him, not even his teammates. Although he would not attack his own people, no one wants to be with such a person who makes him uncomfortable, especially when fighting, and he has to feel that kind of terrifying danger in his heart all the time.
In addition, there are 33 people with more than 10 meritorious points, and more than 300 with meritorious service.
As soon as the reward began to be cashed out after returning to the Tarzan Realm, they were very happy and surprised, and they all shouted "Thank you, Lord Lord!". In their eyes, there are not many lords who can do what they say. That night, the restaurants and ecstasy caves in the first and second districts of Taishan City were full again, and the warriors who came down from the battlefield needed to be released and celebrated.
Delin glanced at the stacks of papers on one side of his desk, then turned his gaze to the map. He knew who the documents came from, and could even guess what was on them. However, he needs to deal with the affairs at his doorstep, and the pressure from the nobles will naturally be carried by Brenaud for him first. He is his follower, and he is his direct superior, and if he does not say that he will punish himself, then no one will be able to do any substantial damage to him. Those long-winded, bullshit, just let them spread freely.
The map is very detailed, and it was drawn by Delin based on Xiaobai's observations today, but it is still not as clear as the sand table. According to Delin's meaning, Haier has hired a master of sand table making, but it has not yet arrived. It took Delin a while to get the image of the mountain in his mind. Delin gave it a name, called Wangmen Mountain, which means Mount Tai leads the portal.
Wangmen Mountain is about 20 kilometers east of Mount Tai and is a majestic mountain. Like most of the mountains in the Mangula Mountains, it runs north-south, with a length of more than 10 kilometers, a width of 2 to 5 kilometers, and a relative height of more than 1,000 meters. The last time Delin went back and forth from its north side, it was more than 30 kilometers of mountain roads, and on the east side of the mountain there was an open road for carriages and horses, followed by a well-watered river, which went down the river and was not far from a trade road.
If you can open up Wangmen Mountain and control this section of the waterway, then a lot of wealth will pour towards you. Originally, Delin did not have such a plan, first of all, it was impossible to get through Wangmen Mountain. His plan was to make a detour from the north, and with great manpower and material resources, he forcibly built a mountain road between the mountains that could be passed by chariots and horses. But now, things have taken a turn for the better. According to Xiaobai's reconnaissance, it is perhaps not surprising that there is a group of more than 2,000 people in Wangmen Mountain, and more importantly, they have opened up many forts and defensive works. However, since Wangmen Mountain is a stone mountain, it is not difficult to excavate a tunnel since it is possible to excavate and construct such a project inside the stone mountain.
Delin asked Xiaobai to take a closer look at the construction site of Wangmen Mountain, and finally found a somewhat earthworm-like insect about 2 meters long, whose saliva can corrupt hard stones, making them as fragile as ordinary earth. Delin questioned Harry, who told him that it was a seventh-level magical beast called the Minoan Ringworm, which was extremely rare and only nobles would cultivate it, and then asked the summoner to sign a contract with it. They are not combat-ready on their own, but they are an excellent choice for carving out rocks and building forts and fortresses.
It occurred to him that it might be some noble kid who was in the middle of the competition. In that case, things are a little more difficult to do. The terrain of Wangmen Mountain is precipitous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the guess is true, then the opponent will have at least 8 Sky Knight-level combat power, or even more! And they usually bring personnel who know military command, which will give them an advantage in the competition.
However, if he actually blocked his own door to form a force, then he must destroy it! Delin made up his mind to capture Wangmen Mountain, whether it was for the construction of the trade road in the future or for his own safety. Wangmen Mountain is not in his hands, and it is like an occasional @ bomb is placed next to his Taishan collar, like a fish bone stuck in his throat.
It may not be enough to be alone, but it is not necessary to unite others. Moreover, it is necessary that no matter how much control of the waterways and the operation of the trade routes are carried out, it is simply impossible to maintain it by oneself. He needs to share this benefit with others while tying them to his chariot. Delin looked at the stack of papers next to him and began to review them one by one. He needs to understand where he finds himself and negotiate better.
