"As you can see, this is what the 'Crown Mausoleum' really looks like." Herbert leads Van Si and Peggy up the tower, and the fortress is unveiled in its entirety.

If you just listen to the name, many people will mistake it for a mausoleum of the former kings of the Wild Sand Empire. But in the years when the "Thousand-Faced Enchantress" became the queen, she secretly mobilized a large number of craftsmen to quietly build a magnificent fortress on the basis of this ruin.

The main body of the fort is a solid pentagonal wall, but each corner of the wall protrudes outwards like an arrow, forming a sharp defensive corner. Between each pair of defensive corners, five separate triangular fortresses were built.

The walls of the fortress are extremely thick, and the top can accommodate five people at the same time. Protective walls and shooting holes were installed, and defensive weapons such as hot oil, stone throws, and knives were stocked to prevent enemies from climbing. Soldiers were arranged to patrol day and night. The interior of the fort is also equipped with a large number of guard troops and a variety of offensive and defensive weapons to deal with various types of attacks.

Such a line of defense is simply impregnable. As Herbert said: Even if an empire sends an army to attack with all its might, it will be difficult to break through.

Looking at the majestic fortress in front of him, Fan Xi sighed, "There is such an exquisite defensive structure in the world, not only as solid as a rock but also beautiful, I thought that Her Royal Highness the Empress was only superior in soul magic, it seems that I am still too young." ”

Peggy's heart was even happier when she heard Van Si praise her teacher: "This form was created by the master of war in my teacher's previous life, and it is called 'Fortress'. Unless you attack with the 'Soul Cannon', you can't attack at all. ”

"It is a privilege to see such an ingenious fortress in my lifetime, and such a perfect defense can be described as 'invulnerable'. ”

Herbert respectfully saluted Van Xi and said, "I have long heard the name of General Van Xi, and I have the courage to ask a question: If you come to attack the city, how will you attack?" ”

Van Xi was slightly stunned, then understood what Herbert meant, and said with a smile: "This is a difficult problem, if it is just casual nonsense, I may dig a hole." ”

"Dig a hole?" Peggy looked at Van Sey in amazement.

Van Xi explained: "The walls of this fortress are towering and towering, and the protruding defensive corners and the fire of the outer triangular fortress cover each other, and there are no dead spots to attack. Instead of a head-on confrontation, dig a hole and try to bypass the walls from the ground and attack the core of the fortress directly. ”

Herbert clapped his hands and praised: "I built a fortress here for a year and three months before I came up with this idea. I didn't expect General Fanxi to be able to see through this Achilles' heel at a glance, he is really a genius of the Wild Sand Empire! ”

Fan Xi said modestly: "I didn't expect that Your Excellency is the master who built here, it's really disrespectful." You already know its only weakness, so you must have a way to deal with it, right? ”

Herb nodded: "Yes, I do have some methods, please look at this." ”

As he spoke, he asked the attendant to fetch a spear-shaped object, "This is a defensive item that several of our soul masters have researched, and it is named the 'Desert Shepherd Staff'. ”

Fan Xi took the five-meter-long "Shepherd's Staff" and looked at it, but except for feeling that there was a flow of soul magic inside it, there was nothing special about it.

Herbert pointed to the desert outside the city walls: "We have filled the outside of the city walls with this 'desert shepherd's staff', leaving one meter on the ground and about four meters below the ground. Once someone breaks or digs it up, it triggers a Lightning Strike Soul Spell. ”

Lightning Strike Soul Technique is notoriously loud and quiet, and even if you don't kill an enemy on the spot, it can send out enough alarming signals.

Both Fancy and Peggy nodded in admiration, "What an amazing design." ”

Herbert said, "But most importantly, its soul effect is very stable. As long as no one breaks it, it will last for about three years. ”

Fan Xi said: "It can protect the safety of the fortress for a long time, and it is indeed a good shepherd's staff. ”

Peggy also smiled: "Thanks to Master Herbert's design, it seems that this time the 'Red Pavilion' is going to be a feather." ”

.

After surviving the thunderstorm before the heatwave, Lydia prepares to attack the Crown Mausoleum. In her original plan, in order to beware of Chishuiwan's sneak attack on Kushui Town, this should be a quick battle. But I didn't expect to give an extra suggestion without laughing.

"Perform a ritual." Don't laugh.

Lydia looked at the person in front of her repeatedly, "I know that I don't laugh seems to be a very hated character who hates red tape and pursues efficiency and speed in everything, why do you suddenly like to engage in rituals......"

He replied without a smile: "They like to watch." ”

Although Lydia had no idea what he was thinking, the "ritual" seemed to the people of Shendu to be as simple as spreading jam on bread. At the moment when she finished answering the five words without laughing, she had already come up with a powerful plan:

First of all, clear the open space in the south of Kushui Town, and build a two-story high platform: the upper layer is the "mercy seat", the lower layer is the "main general platform", and the blood-colored crow flag is erected behind it, lined with the skull of the thundercloud beast. In the front field, "sacrificial flag platform", "holy water platform", and "execution platform" were set up. There are three floors of "viewing platforms" on the side field.

The whole army was assembled in an open field, and the front, center, rear, left, center, and right were divided into three armies and nine divisions, and ten-colored military flags were purchased. According to the pattern array of water, fire, earth and wind four positive positions, four deviations of ice and thunder poison light, arcane surrounding, and divine light centering.

Six teams of drum chariots lined up on both sides of the Divine Light Division, using vocal music as a signal: marching to beat the drums, one-on-one trumpets, attacking the emergency whistle, assembling the horns, ringing the bell for the withdrawal of troops, and sounding the gong in ambush.

The commanders of each army stand in turn in each department, and behind the commanders are the lieutenants, heralds, and standard-bearers, and then the soldiers. The soldiers were in a phalanx of companies, heavily armed, with their blades unsheathed. Such a majestic and majestic momentum was several times stronger than when it first came out of the Scarlet Leaf Forest.

After Lydia explained the plan from beginning to end, her muscles stiffened and her expression froze.

He thought that the inauguration ceremony of the copper hammer in Manniu Town was already the ceiling in the "ceremony", but he didn't expect that there was an atmosphere above the ceiling. And Lydia's wave has obviously gone beyond the stratosphere and soared directly into the immortals.

Seeing the expression of not smiling, Lydia laughed so much that her intestines were almost knotted. It's just that he still has a regretful look on his face, "Don't laugh at my lord, if the funds are insufficient, we can also simplify some ......"

"Nope." His attitude was unusually tough, "That's it." ”

This time it was Lydia's turn to be a little speechless, "Is this ritual so important......"

Buxiao thought for a moment, "Of course." ”

Lydia was curious: "Why?" ”

Bu smiled and sighed: "People are sophisticated. ”
