Chapter 17: Dwarven Ballista

To be on the safe side, Byer also traveled to the village to ascertain with the other two lords what the effect of the mark left by the beastmen was.

They looked disgusted at the pattern that the beastmen had drawn at night in the trenches far from the camp, which Bair had said.

And explained to Bair what a Chaos Demon is.

And who is the owner of that badge.

Fear and abuse, also known as the god of blood, is the most brutal and destructive of the four evil gods.

Although the weak beastmen can't communicate with that being, if there is a real war, the tyranny on the battlefield may cause strange things to happen to it.

However, it was good to erase it now, but at the suggestion of the other lords, two knights of the kingdom followed Bail to inspect the condition of the trenches.

When it was certain that there were no heretics in the land, the knight left.

Bair also looked left and right to carry out the treasure that had not been used in the van.

It was a lot of mechanical parts, and it was even a little out of the times, and it was under the command of Bayer that the soldiers finally figured out how to inlay the screws.

Its massive wooden body, up to 600 meters of range, and strong piercing power make it possible to kill even regenerated and huge trolls in a single shot.

It is one of the dwarves' most sturdy and longest-standing works, a huge and terrifying ballista now embedded in the hills.

There was only one and only 10 rounds of ammunition, but even if you faced a huge monster like Gulmon, you could put it to death.

The ammunition added a groove to store the venom at Bair's request, and the monster would die if the arrow only sank into the flesh.

Although the penetration is weakened as a result, and the enemy may struggle for a long time.

However, when there is really an existence that crossbow arrows can't kill in one shot, Venom is definitely the most cost-effective treasure.

Of course, this is not Byer's thing, and if it breaks, Byer will have to pay the dwarves for 150 gold...

Therefore, even if the knights of the kingdom come, this thing will not be taken out, and only now, when it is sure that there are no outsiders, will it be assembled.

Bair fiddles with a huge ballista that can be rotated at 160°C, with its silky feel, efficient mechanics, and a design that allows the bow to be drawn by simply cranking it by hand.

All of them show the strong fighting power and pragmatism of the dwarves.

Baier looked at the crosshairs, thinking about what a strong sense of honor he would bring if he pierced the heart of a monster like Gulmon.

The soldiers below had seen their lord summon the beastmen to build defenses, and now they had conjured such a huge weapon, and their hearts were even more adoring.

Unbeknownst to Beyer, in the minds of the Shet-led people, his appearance was gradually merging with the concept of Kracha.

Bair carefully disguised it as a bush with a twig to avoid being seen by the orcs scouting near the camp.

And at noon, Sir Flender also returned with a large amount of supplies and venom, and was already shocked when he saw this camp.

Basically, apart from the massive stone brick walls, this place can be called a fortress.

And such a huge ballista, even when he served in the Empire, he didn't really see a similar weapon firing a cannon.

Sir Flender unloaded the large number of wagons and asked Bair as if he had seen a ghost.

"My lord, do you know magic?"

Baier shook his head. "No, it's just that there are kind neighbors in the forest, and if I invite them to a distant place, they will help me repair my defenses."

However, Sir Flender's head flashed through the stinky stuff of the wood elves, and then sighed that his young master was really talented in diplomacy, and actually brought all the hunting wood elves to make defense projects.

How could those arrogant guys say yes?

"How much?" Sir Flender subconsciously thought that those elves might have taken the money...

Baier shook his head. "I don't ask for money, they are very good, they like the forest, they are a bit diurnal and nocturnal, and their beliefs are peculiar."

"You understand them and you get their friendship."

Sir Flender's sword lord's statement has a much better opinion of the elves in his heart.

Before the arrival of the green skins, there is still a wooden wall to be built, and the array of soldiers will be stretched very large during the defense, and the troops of two hundred people may only be lined up.

Otherwise, it will not be able to defend a large area of territory, and it will also lead to poor team depth, which can easily be broken through.

The only way to build a good enough wooden wall is that a single soldier can resist enemy attacks as much as possible.

And the greenskin target is likely to be a breakthrough, which will also cause them to concentrate their forces to attack a little.

As a result, with less than a week left, the farmers were not only required to complete the construction of the wooden wall.

At the same time, there is a lot of training to be carried out, such as forming a formation with depth and depth in a very fast time.

This way, when Greenskins break through the wooden walls of an area, the soldiers will immediately regroup into a square array.

The important task fell to Sir Flender, and there was not enough time left to gather a large amount of supplies, so it was better to train tactics than to waste time on this aspect.

In this way, when the wooden wall was completed half a month later, it was about 250 meters long, and the end was connected to the forest, and it was two meters long, so that the enemy could not cross it at once, and it also left a hole for attacking.

Basically, it is guaranteed that the Poisonblade Soldier will only face frontal attacks, and will not worry about being attacked by Greenskins from the side.

Two more training programs have also been added.

Sir Flender was training them at the moment, and Sir Flender shouted.

"Arrive!"

The soldiers immediately pressed their tower shields against the hollow, and then began to split into left and right, slashing at the top of the wooden wall in turn.

Simulates what the Soldier should do when Greenskin climbs over a wall.

It is to block the enemy's entry with a shield, and then slash and kill the climbing greenskin.

Then Sir Flender nodded, and changed the order to. "Gather! Three on the right, four on the left! ”

The soldiers immediately divided into two teams and formed a phalanx, thirty meters wide on the right and forty meters on the left.

This is a formation to defend against the Greenskins when they break through the wall, so that they will not lose their combat effectiveness in close combat.

After half a month of training, they were now in shape, and Bayer sat leisurely in the tent eating jerky soup, boiling corn and onions.

Commonly known as messy stew, the soldiers' meals during the war were provided by the Duke of Long Lake, which also reduced the pressure on Bayer's wallet a lot.

Sir Flender also let the soldiers rest and go to taste the lunches made by the peasants.

The peasants of Bretonnia were really the foundation of the country, and they had to provide more than just food, manpower, and combat power in times of war.

They are also responsible for logistics and supplies, soldier services, and the longbows are all hunting bows brought by the family, and they will not be paid for it.

Baier was a little distressed, but at present, he himself is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, so he can only give up the idea of improving the treatment of farmers.

Seeing that it was almost time for the Greenskins to gather, Bair discussed with Jazz while eating.

"Flender, if you were a greenskin, what time would you choose to attack?"

Sir Flender analysed it and said.

"Evening, noon, early morning, time to eat or rest."

"However, according to the personality of the greenskins, a month of pre-war preparation is too long, and they are likely to be in a hurry, and they will start attacking when they come out of the mine, and they may attack at any time."

"And will send troops to attack the watchtowers on the flanks first, and then attack the main road, because they are greenskins and will destroy everything that is alive, and the abandoned road will have a limited number of troops to pass through."

"They will try to break a part of the enemy's main force, and then press on the main road with a large army."

As soon as Flender's words fell, a puff of black smoke lit up from the watchtower in the west.

Bair looked at Crowbeak Flender, his face twitched, and immediately stood up.

"Everyone! It's war! Man your posts! ”
