Section 75 Development
A priest from a church mingled in the crowd, instructing the Bina soldiers on the disposal of the corpses. Several priests were present in the battle just now, ready to use magic to assist in the battle. But in the actual battle, they did not have a chance to play at all.
Several riders galloped in from afar. Kedassa recognized the man as Bellell, his advisor, a general of Tiberius, and a watchman.
"This place was still within the reach of vampires in the morning, and now this place is under your name. Beller smiled and congratulated. It must be said that Bayral is the kind of person who is quite likable. Although he knew that Beller was actually sent by the Ryan to spy on the Bin, Kedassa still liked this guy. "You had a great victory. ”
Robin, who was beside Bayral, pouted secretly. Judging from the traces of the battlefield, he deduced that the number of undead legions destroyed here would not exceed two thousand, and the zombies with the weakest combat effectiveness were the mainstay. This is just a small "prologue" to the whole war, and it does not deserve such sensual praise at all. But Bayral said all the words without blushing.
"It's not my credit. "Kedasa is also full of spring breeze. The victory came so easily, and it is indeed worth rejoicing. "It's all up to my brave soldiers. ”
"The soldiers have a lot to credit. "But I think it's your command that's what matters." ”
Kedasa stroked his beard lightly and let out a chuckle.
Baylor was supposed to be in the rear, and he came to the front to instruct the soldiers in the construction of suitable fortifications. Use earth, stone and wood to build a strong walled city. However, because of the cliffs on both sides, it is really enough to build a wall, and perhaps the term "rampart" is more appropriate. Because of this, this wooden wall is built exceptionally strongly. It was necessary to build the foundation with stone and earth, and then build a multi-layered wooden wall on top of it. Platforms were to be added to the wooden walls for the defenders to stand and shoot, as well as gun emplacements large enough for field artillery. In addition to the frontage, a corresponding wooden fence was built around the perimeter to form a strong camp. In fact, this is not so much a camp as a simple wooden castle.
But Bayrell demands more than that. He also had the inside of the wooden wall mound of earth to form a slope.
"What is this for?" asked Kedassa, pointing to the construction site where the earth was being piled up.
"This effectively increases the thickness of the wooden walls, making it difficult for ordinary war machines to break them quickly. "It also eliminates the possibility of being exploited by the enemy." ”
"Exploited by the enemy?" said Kedasa, a little confused.
"If a vampire were to take over such a barrier through night raids, spies, etc., it wouldn't be able to be used by the vampires. Beller gestured with his hand. "The vampire is coming from the south, and he is facing a strong defense that is difficult to overcome. Must rely on siege machinery to attack...... Assuming he has siege machines. But if the vampires take over this place, and we attack from the north to the south, then this place cannot be an obstacle to our army, because our soldiers can go directly to the wall through the slope. It's no different from a normal slope. In other words, it's a one-way defense. ”
"I see, it's really clever!" Kedasa's expression of sudden realization was so good that even Bayrell almost thought that the other party was real.
"You played well in this vanguard battle. Bayral immediately changed the subject. "You've got a one-sixteenth victory. ”
There are sixteen suitable locations in this valley for building walls. In other words, once the sixteen walls have been successfully built, it is equivalent to entering West Vania. If the vampire hadn't been eliminated by then, it wouldn't have been too far from his demise.
As Bayral had predicted, due to the narrow terrain, it was impossible to deploy a large army, so it was natural for the Binds to make the decision to "take turns to fight". Kedaza, on the other hand, chose to be the first to play based on Baylor's opinion. Because Beller deduced that the vampires must be a weak sentinel force on the front line.
It turned out to be the right choice. In this battle, Kedasa's losses were insignificant, but on the one hand, he fulfilled the obligations of the Great Elder, and incidentally gained a brave and responsible image for himself.
"I'm going to try to make this camp as good as possible. Bayral said to Kedasa. "By the time the others see the camp, they'll have the best example of it, and they won't have to bother me to teach them how to build it one by one. ”
Kedasa nodded. Due to the geographical environment and sufficient manpower, the progress of the project is quite fast. Even those who do not know much about military engineering can see that a rough camp can be set up in one day, and all the details and supporting fortifications can be completed in three days, and it can be completely completed in seven or eight days.
"By the way, Your Excellency the Elder, there is one thing I must warn you of—though I have been reminded again and again—but this war must not be rushed. Firmly, one position at a time, we are invincible. ”
Kedasa nodded. So Bayral left in the other direction, carefully supervising the construction of the project. Kedasa rode his horse to the other side.
In front of the battle just now, the soldiers of the Bin tribe had already occupied a small slope that was easy to defend and prepared for battle. They lined up in defensive formation, musketeers and crossbowmen in front, halberders in the rear, and cannons on a small artificially fortified high ground. However, the vampire didn't seem to be aware of his striker's small defeat, and even if he did, he didn't have time to act.
The tribe of Kedasa is the largest of the Bin. If he could, he would be able to raise an army of about 10,000 or two. Of course, because of the need to speed up the construction of the camp, there were only 6,000 soldiers fighting at the front.
Thinking of this, an unobtrusive smile flooded the corners of his mouth. It is true that only about five thousand troops are needed for the battle here, and almost every Grand Elder is capable of having an army of this size. But when you take into account the construction of camps, the situation is completely different. At least half of them must bow their knees to him and pledge allegiance to him in exchange for his support. If you add the losses of the war, then perhaps all but a few will have to give in.
Half, as long as more than half of the Great Elders bow their heads to him, then his dominant position will be unshakable. Even a person as cunning as Damon has to admit that the situation is stronger than people, and when the time comes, he will only lack a chance, an excuse......
Thinking of Damon, Kedasa's smile intensified. Sending him on a vampire mission is really a stroke of genius. Damon set out with confidence and returned dejected. You don't have to think about it to know that this mission has caused him to suffer a heavy loss in reputation, and it is no less than a big defeat.
But he also knew that the effect was nothing more. Damon is not a simple person. In fact, it is not enough to describe him as "not simple", but it is more appropriate to call him "legendary". It is said that he left his homeland as a teenager and, by the strength of one man, obtained the status of a knight in a foreign land, and adopted the red lion as his coat of arms.
During the last large-scale battle between the Hama and Ryan, Damon rushed back. At a time when almost all the tribes of the Hama were on the defensive, Damon, who was still young at the time, raised an army and led them to counterattack into the territory of the Ryans. And he was still incredibly unhindered all the way, until the final armistice was signed, and then led the troops to withdraw. This incident alone made him famous, and countless admirers defected to him, and he soon gained the status of a great elder.
If this incident only proves his military talent, then the next thing proves that this man is definitely not a martial artist who can only fight. In every sense of the word, Damon is a qualified leader, cunning like a fox, and unwittingly tricks people every time. Kedasa fought with him several times, but he didn't take advantage of it at all.
But this time, even if Damon is really a fox, there is nothing he can do. There were so many cards in Kedasa's hand that they were so good that there was no suspense in the game from the start.
He looked at the sky, and it wouldn't be long before it would be dark. Anyway, winter nights come very early. Bayrell said that there was a high chance that the vampire would launch a night attack, and that he could not remain on the front line of danger with his golden body.
The defense of the Bina camp at night was no weaker than during the day. Although the fortifications were not yet fully constructed, trenches, fences, and other things had been dug on the front line. Even if the field vision is not good, with these fortifications will not suffer.
And in the rear, the construction of the barrier was being carried out overnight. Because of the abundance of manpower, Bayral can change a group of workers. The whole situation is much faster than expected.
In a tent on the edge of the construction site, the person in charge of the project, known as Bayor, was counting on the lights and calculating something on a blank piece of paper.
"Your Excellency, General. Robin walked in from outside the tent.
"How's it going? Beller didn't lift his head, he could hear the other party's identity from the footsteps.
"The situation is good. The soldiers were vigilant, and the sentries were in place. A considerable number of scouts were sent to the front, and the mountains on both sides also sent corresponding personnel. If a vampire were to attack at night, he would find it unavailable. Robin replied.
"Of course it is, it's just getting started. In this case, no matter how lazy a person is, he will not dare to be careless. Bayral said as he continued to calculate. "Vampires aren't that stupid, they don't do any night raids when everyone is cautious. We're going to build sixteen strongholds, and I guess by the fifth we'll be lazy. ”
"For what to the fifth?"
"Experience, this one is totally experience. Bayral replied. He breathed a sigh of relief. "It's finally done. ”
"Accomplish what?" asked Robin curiously.
"Of course, it's a menu of sweets. I thought about it carefully, and in order not to lose weight and affect my personal image, I decided that I could no longer eat those snacks that would cause me to gain weight quickly...... Robin, why do you have such an expression?" Beller said solemnly, and then turned into a big smile. "Joking, of course joking. I'm just in terms of calculating building materials. ”
"General......" Robin asked hesitantly. "You seem to ...... Devoted to it. He noticed the tiredness in the corners of Bayral's eyes. Although Bayrell is well disguised, Robin has been with him long enough to see through his superficial disguise.
"Of course I'm going to put my heart and soul into it. The hippie smile on Béral's face disappeared and was replaced by a different expression. Calm and serious, like a pool of bottomless water.
"But my lord, you told me that this war was ...... It has nothing to do with us. You're here to help the Ryans with surveillance based on your obligations as allies. It doesn't matter to us whether the Hama and the vampires win or lose, we just need to stay out of the situation and watch them fight......"
