Chapter 723: Small Fortress
"Now let's talk about the orcs!"
Seeing that even Gust was shining with his eyes, Gervais felt a little amused.
However, giving them a few weapons will definitely allow them to choose slowly, so they need to discuss the business first, and then there will be time for later.
And the first one, of course, is about orcs.
This time, Alder had just asked about the invasion of Dosaron with three thousand elite orcs, which was completely Dosaron's own intention, and the Beastmaster was not involved in it for the time being.
However, the Beastmaster did not participate in that before, and now that more than 3,000 elite orc soldiers were surrounded and annihilated by himself and others, and even Dosaron was captured, the next move of the Beastmaster can be predicted.
Maybe he'll be desperate for revenge, maybe he'll temporarily suppress this matter because the Godfall Land is about to open, just come and go back to Dosaron, and count it after the fall.
But the problem is that Gervais doesn't plan to let Dosaron go, and the orc prince brings people to take revenge on him.
If it weren't for the fact that he used the Demon Beast Younger Brother to explore the way through the Dark Swamp quickly, maybe this gathering place would have really been destroyed by Dosaron.
Even now, hundreds of lives have been paid on their side, and these are loyal Silver Knights.
Therefore, Gervais plans to wait for the mourning of those fallen soldiers tomorrow to use Dosaron as a sacrifice flag, not only to comfort the souls of the dead, but also to better unite the hearts of the people in this gathering place.
"Prince Alder, you elves know the most about orcs, can you guess what the orcs will do next and how to deal with it?"
Gervais set his eyes on Alder, who was sitting at the end of the long table.
"This Dosaron is the prince of the beast clan, tomorrow we kill him, there is no doubt that the beast king will definitely be avenged by it!"
"But now is the time for the opening of the Godfall Land, and every time the Godfall Land is reopened, there will be the descendants of the Godfall natives inside, so if we want to enter the Godfall Land, we need to fight them."
"The population of the Orcs is on par with the Terrans, and every time they will secretly compete with the Terrans for seizing more of the territory in the Godfall Land, because this is related to the pattern of the next thousand years in the Godfall Land."
"So I don't think the orcs will invade the sacred forest in a big way in the near future, especially the elite troops under the beastmaster!"
"But as I said earlier, the orcs have a large population of races, and it is likely that he will send those inferior races to constantly harass and attack us."
Alder did not hold back, and immediately elaborated his guess.
After a moment's pause, Alder continued.
"Even if they are low-level orcs, they are born with a racial advantage, and there are many of them, if you ordinary humans encounter them, it will be extremely dangerous!"
"Therefore, from now on, we must always be on guard against the invasion of orcs."
The low-level orcs in Alder's mouth are actually pig-headed people, kobolds, and the like.
Not only do they not have the aura of the orcs like the half-orcs in their heads, but even their racial talent is not as powerful as the tough orcs of the minotaurs.
Therefore, it is considered a low-level existence within the beast race.
However, they are low-level existences compared to the orcs themselves, but for humans, they are existences that can challenge humans beyond the level.
For example, ordinary pig-headed people can deal with low-level bronze knights, and pig-headed people with low-level bronze strength can often deal with bronze mid-level or high-level humans.
For the overall strength level of the gathering place of Gervais, as long as there are more than a thousand orcs, mixed with more than a hundred orcs with bronze or silver strength, there is also a lot of trouble.
After all, it is impossible for Gervais to stay here all day and wait for the orcs to come, and Gust and Hayden's subordinates are ninety percent ordinary soldiers, and there must be a lot of losses against the orcs.
In the end, it was Stormwind that was ready to start construction, and there was no danger outside the sacred forest, and the orc attack could easily pose a threat to those serf coolies.
"Why don't we build a section of the wall on the periphery first? More than ten miles away from Stormwind is a mountain range, where there are only three gaps, and if we build a wall, we can hold back those orcs! ”
At this time, Caroline spoke.
As the person at the helm of the place, she is already very familiar with the terrain.
"No, there are only two gaps, but each gap is at least five or six miles long! Even if the ordinary city wall is ten or twenty meters high, it will take at least half a year to complete, and it is difficult to say whether it will be used or not! ”
Alder rejected Caroline's proposal, if only a twenty-meter wall could not stop the powerful orcs.
After the completion of the project, if the Beastmaster has already drawn out his manpower, then the city wall will be in vain!
"What then, should I have my grandfather and the Earl of Hayden stationed over there?"
Caroline frowned slightly after hearing this, she was also worried that this would affect the construction of Stormwind City, so she was anxious to come up with an idea.
However, Gervais listened to the discussion between the two but did not speak immediately, his fingers tapped slightly on the table, and he fell into deep thought.
"Fortress Fortress!"
Suddenly, Gervais had a flash of inspiration!
"Fortress fortress?"
Everyone present was stunned.
Fortresses and fortresses are not absent in the Holy Continent, but there are many of them.
However, those fortresses were built on difficult terrain, at least on the scale of a few hundred or thousands of people.
, but the two gaps outside Stormwind City are each five or six miles wide, so how big a fortress can be prevented, it is better to build a city wall.
"That's right, it's to use the fortress fortress to plug those two gaps to prevent ordinary orcs from attacking, and we only need to build a small fortress, which can be completed in a week!"
With a smile on his face, Gervais was already full of confidence!
"It can be done in a week! Can such a small fortress be held? ”
At this time, everyone still couldn't understand Gervais's thinking, how many people could live in the fortress that could be completed in a week? A hundred or two hundred? I can't hold that much of a place.
"Absolutely!"
Gervais smiled confidently!
It was indeed the goblin Chachar design that he had in mind, but it was only different in scale.
Gervais doesn't need too many people to garrison, the kind that only needs a dozen people to garrison each fortress.
As for whether such a small fortress can hold the entrance for several kilometers and face thousands of orcs?
There was no need to worry at all, because Gervais was ready to build at least a few dozen of these small fortresses.
When the time comes, these forts will be placed on the two gaps every few hundred meters, and a few small steel cannons will be set up on these forts, no matter how many pig-headed people and ko-headed people he comes, they will be the material for delivering food.
And these kinds of fortresses are actually similar to turrets, the amount of work is small, the cost is not high, and it can be completed without a few thousand people in a week.
"The fortress I'm going to build is like this......"
At that moment, Gervais shared his detailed thoughts with everyone.
After hearing this, everyone pondered for a moment, and after a moment they all looked at Gervais with amazement.
No one expected Gervais to get along in such a way.
They had seen the power of the small steel cannon, and if there were really ten or twenty turrets in a gap, then even two thousand orcs would not be a concern.
At that time, even if some fish slip through the net and break through the blockade of the fortress, a team of hundreds of people can be quickly dispatched, and it will definitely not threaten the ordinary serfs of Stormwind City.
"Okay, this matter of the orcs is settled for the time being, and I'll talk to those goblins myself later."
"Now let's talk about the second thing!"
"The Godfall Land is about to open, and this time Alice went to the City of Hope and successfully obtained a passage slot, one of which was reserved for Stormwind City! Prince Alder, I would like to ask, where do you think this passage should be opened? ”
At this time, the time is close before the opening of the Godfall Land.
When Gervais left the City of Hope, Edward told him that when the ball of light turned from white to red, it meant that the Godfall had opened.
When the time comes, as long as you smash this ball of light into the ground hard, it will naturally form a passage to the land of the gods.
Moreover, he also told Gervais that it was best to open it on time half an hour after the red light was transformed, because the Holy Alliance would also open the channel at this time.
When the time comes, they will enter at the same time, and if there is danger, they can deal with it together, and if there is no danger, they can quickly seize their own chassis.
The coordinates of the outer part of the passage of the Godfall are fixed and cannot be changed, but the entrance of the passage connecting the interior can change its position once, of course, and this is only three days.
If the location of the inner passage has not been moved for three days, it will be permanently fixed there until the Godfall recloses in a thousand years.
Naturally, the location of the interior can only be determined after entering the Godfall Land, but this external passage needs to be considered now.
As an authentic elven prince, Alder believed that he had more experience in this area than Gervais, so he had to ask.
"The location of the opening passage really needs to be very careful!"
Alder looked at Gervais approvingly, originally even if Gervais didn't ask him, he would have to explain, but now that Gervais asked, he immediately began to tell!
"First of all! This passage cannot be built inside Stormwind! Do you know why? ”
In the face of Alder's question, everyone has not yet reacted.
They also have contact with the elves, so everyone knows a lot about the Godfall Land, but this question is something they haven't figured out for a while.
The passage to the Godfall is so important, should it be as tightly protected as possible?
For example, the space of the elf insect should be placed in the castle!
But this passage cannot be placed in the city!
"Because it's dangerous!"
Suddenly, Gervais spoke!
"That's right, because not only can we enter the Godfall Land, but the people inside can also enter the Divine Continent through the passage."
"And although the Land of Godfall is rich in materials and treasures, the danger inside is also very high."
"Not to mention the catastrophe more than two hundred years ago, the natives in the Godfall Land alone are sometimes very powerful, if one accidentally lets them rush out of the Godfall Land, if the passage is placed in the city, there will definitely be a big loss!"
"So this passage must be placed outside the city!"
Alder continued to look at Gervais approvingly, and found that Gervais was indeed capable of what he had today.
With that, Alder paused before continuing.
"Of course, in order to facilitate access to this passage, it should not be too far away from the city!"
"So, Gervais, I suggest you put the passage near this gathering place!"
"Originally, it was necessary to put it farther away to be on the safe side, but you just mentioned your small fortress, I think you can set up more fortresses and small steel cannons like that at the entrance of the passage!"
"At that time, if there is really a small threat, it can be dealt with, of course, if it is a big threat, in fact, it will not make a big difference if it is a few miles away!"
In this way, Alder slowly finished his advice.
After listening to Alder's words, Gervais nodded silently, what his cheap old man said did make sense.
It is necessary to set up a defense mechanism at the entrance, whether it is to defend against invaders in the Godfall Lands or to defend against outsiders to break in.
"Then, as Prince Alder said, set this entrance at the edge of the gathering place!"
Gervais made his decision right away!
"By the way, Prince Alder, I heard that the aura in the Godfall Land is chaotic and irritable, if there is no sacred tree......"
"Gervais, you don't have to worry about this, when the time comes, you will place the coordinates of the passage in our elven camp, and the Tree of Life can appease the aura within five kilometers!"
"Uh...... Thank you, Alice! But I wanted to ask where to find Prince Alde's godhead? Because I already have a sacred tree seed! ”
Gervais originally wanted to ask Alder if the remnants of the godhead were good to find and where to find them, but he didn't expect Alice, who had been sitting dignified and keeping her cold, to speak immediately.
He was very touched by the thoughtfulness of his cheap wife, but the five-kilometer radius was actually very crowded for the elves with millions of people.
If you let some more people wait for yourself, it will be even more crowded.
Gervais's idea was that it would be best to build a station himself.
Of course, if he really can't find the godhead, Gervais can only rub off his wife's advantage, and wait until he finds the remaining godhead and cultivates the holy tree in the future.
"You have the Sacred Tree Seed?"
Alder was slightly surprised.
Although there is still a barrier between having a sacred tree seed and having a real sacred tree, there is hope with a sacred tree seed.
You must know that the Holy Alliance has covered the seeds of the Holy Tree to death, not to mention other races, even the Terran itself, if it were not for the great merit and the recognition of the Holy Tree, it would be impossible to get this thing.
"Well, I was lucky that the sacred tree of Heka Holy City gave me a seed!"
Gervais was breezy and calm, and then with a thought, he took out a green seed the size of a soybean from the space.
The seed was crystal clear, with a glowing green glow on it, like a gem more than a plant seed.
This is exactly what he got at Ratche's house, and after getting it, Gervais has been in the space ring and has never taken it out!
