Chapter 61: The City Wall
I watched it, I asked it. After figuring out the matters related to the blacksmith shop, Yang Fan left the blacksmith shop with Gated and Ed.
Lily flew back while Yang Fan was chatting with the blacksmith, and was sitting on his shoulder chattering non-stop.
"Master, where are we going to play now! it was too hot there just now, and it wasn't fun at all. ”
Yang Fan touched her head dotingly, and said with a smile: "I know how to play all day long, be careful when I play outside one day, I encounter a demonic beast and be eaten in one bite!"
The little guy pouted, put one hand in his waist and said, "I'm not afraid, if I encounter a monster, I will ask Xiao Ash to help me bite it." ”
This is the second time Yang Fan has heard the name "Little Ash", and he didn't pay much attention to it in the dining room before, but he felt a little curious when he was mentioned again.
"Lily, who are you talking about, why can't I remember someone in the territory calling that name?"
Lily jumped on his shoulder, and said excitedly, "Little Gray is a wolf with a white tail! It is the largest of the eight wolves, didn't Sister Catherine say that those wolves were brought back by their owners? Why don't you even know who "Little Gray" is?"
Yang Fan was slightly stunned, and then remembered the little wolf cubs he brought back before, if it wasn't for Lili's reminder, I'm afraid he would have forgotten about them. Since he brought them back to the territory, he handed them over to Catherine to take care of, and he never paid attention to them since, thinking that the name "Little Gray" should have been taken by Catherine!
Puzzled, Yang Fan couldn't help asking, "Didn't those little wolf cubs attack you?"
"No, Ash is so good, and they're taking me and my buddies out into the wheat field to play!" replied Lily crisply.
In just a few days, those little wolf cubs can be so obedient, it seems that Catherine has quite a knack for domesticating demonic beasts! Yang Fan thought to himself.
Looking at Lili, who was happy to talk about "Little Ash", Yang Fan smiled and said, "Does Lily like life here?"
"There's the owner, there's Sister Catherine, and "Little Grey" them, and of course I like them. Lily smiled sweetly.
The little guy's innocent words moved Yang Fan a little, especially her attachment to her like a relative, which made his heart warm.
Gently hanging her little face with his fingers, Yang Fan asked softly, "Then does Lily like more here, or more in the forest?"
Lily frowned, lowered her head and bit the little finger of her right hand, and after thinking for a while, she replied in a low voice: "I don't know, Lily just wants to be by her master's side, and where the master is, Lily likes it." ”
Yang Fan was stunned and looked at the little guy in surprise, he didn't expect her to answer himself like this. If a normal person said this, I am afraid it would arouse some of his charming reverie, but when these words came out of Lily's mouth, he felt awkward, especially after seeing her petite body, Yang Fan felt even more embarrassed.
Secretly glancing at the two Gates and Ed behind him, seeing that their faces were as usual, and they didn't seem to hear the conversation between himself and Lily, Yang Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After this conversation, he didn't dare to open his mouth anymore, in case the little guy said something more ambiguous, which was heard by the two behind him, and then spread out, maybe what the people in the territory would think of him!
Lily also seemed to be reminded of the giant tree, and sat on his shoulder without saying anything more.
For a moment, the four of them were silent, and they all bowed their heads and walked towards the city gate.
Another ten minutes passed, and Yang Fan finally came to his second destination, the city wall.
When he came in through the city gate, he had not been to the city wall because he was in a hurry to report to Laurent, but now he returned here so that he could have a look at the city wall and learn about the ballista by the way.
Following the stone staircase on the right side of the city gate, step by step on the city wall, Yang Fan finally saw what it looked like on the city wall.
In fact, there is nothing special about the city wall, like a road five meters wide, except that the ground is paved with flat stones.
On each side of the wall is a wall two meters high and one meter thick. On this wall, there are concave stacks of arrows every two meters.
The city wall where Yang Fan is now is the same city wall he saw when he came back before, and the archer who opened the city gate for them before had already returned to the city wall, when Yang Fan and the others walked on the city wall, he noticed it for the first time, and then quickly ran over.
"Master, why did you get to the city wall, it's windy here, you better go back!" the archer ran to Yang Fan and saluted.
Yang Fan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can all stand on it, why can't I come." Although I have a magician physique, I am not delicate enough to be this degree. After speaking, he patted the archer on the shoulder and said: "On the contrary, you should pay more attention to your body and go down on time to change shifts, now that the territory is short of manpower, you may be tired for the time being, and it will be better if you recruit more soldiers in a short time." ”
"Hosts, we are not tired, it is our pleasure to be able to serve you. The archer straightened his chest and said loudly with his right hand on his heart.
Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction, "Don't work too hard, you have to rest when it's time to rest, you must not collapse your body" and then waved his hand and said: "You continue to stand guard! I'll go over and take a look at those ballistas." ”
"Yes" the archer saluted again, returning to where he had stood before, and refocusing his gaze on the vast wasteland.
The rigorous attitude of the archers made Yang Fan very happy, and he was also very happy. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary college student, and he knew almost nothing except a little knowledge in the textbook. If he hadn't traveled with the "mutation system", maybe he would have died a long time ago.
The mutation system not only gave him a comfortable castle, but also gave him the opportunity to recruit these loyal, disciplined warriors.
It's easy to have a group of subordinates, but it's hard to have a loyal group of subordinates, and it's even harder to have a group of warriors who are both loyal and rigorous.
And these soldiers recruited from the mutation system don't need to worry about their loyalty at all, and they don't even need Yang Fan's orders, they will consciously stand guard and train consciously.
Such an excellent warrior can be recruited for just a few gold coins, and Yang Fan may not be happy or happy!
Retracting his wandering thoughts, Yang Fan walked towards the ballista not far from the city wall.
Although the parapet walls on both sides are two meters high, they cannot block Yang Fan's vision because of the concave arrow stacks. Usually in the great wilderness, I don't feel so desolate, but now I look down at this big wilderness full of shrubs, and the feeling is completely different.
Especially when the breeze blows in early spring, looking at this deserted land, it is even more bleak.
