Chapter 208 Arming (Part 2)
Chapter 208: Arrangement (Part 2)
The village in the center is burning with a bonfire.
Hundreds of villagers, pushing their luggage, and thirty carriages lined up along the road.
The crying sounds cannot be hidden among the countless noises, which are the sounds of family separation.
A little further away, are the cavalry of the Church of the God of Order, commanded by the knights, who are watching all this indifferently.
In other villages, militia (men) will accompany them until the city gate comes back. However, although there has not yet been a magic disaster in the small mining village, it is still included in the front line. Therefore, it has lost this right and all men over fifteen years old must say goodbye to their families here.
Five Loli, the bells are professionals, and have to stay.
The other four, even Frali, who had a relationship with Romon, chose to leave, and only Sally stayed.
In response, Romon gave severance payment. As for Frali, she added fifty gold coins. Even if she explained all the past clearly, she would not be accepted by Romon in the future.
Of course, not all women will leave, and some women can choose to stay.
On the balcony of the window, Romon saw Hewavi and his son Hanrim standing with his wife and talking.
Haiwave had two sons, the eldest son, Hanlim, who was fifteen years old and had to stay for battle. The second son was only eleven years old and could go to the city with his mother.
Just then, suddenly, a horn sounded.
This is the order of the knight to urge the departure.
In this situation of separation from life and death, everyone's nerves were tense, and the sound of the horn made everyone in the village feel turbulent.
Romon sighed, and did not continue to look, and entered the room.
The hall was filled with people with different expressions of frowning faces.
Fafell, Nick, Old Man Lulun, Fudi, Sukal are all here, and almost everyone knows very well how difficult and terrifying things will happen below, and they don't say anything.
After a moment, Romon frowned, and Havavi had not come up yet.
Seeing Romon frowning, Old Man Lulun frowned. Of course, he knew that anyone present was not separated from his family and had come early, only Haiwawei still delayed...
Maybe it was because of joining the Roman territory that he became the front line, so he was resentful!
After a moment, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Romon's eyes. At this moment, the door opened and Haiwavi came in.
Everyone is in order, and this is the main combat force on the territory.
"Everyone already knows that our territory is divided into front lines by the church, mainly because there are demons entering and leaving the mining area." Romon said, his eyes swept over Haiwave, and said without hesitation: "Now, we need to deploy more specific defense and combat plans."
"Yes, Lord Lord!" Fafell replied, "Just tell us what we think, Mr. Lulun, you can talk first!"
On such occasions, Fafell called Romon Lord for the first time to unify authority.
Old man Lulun also said: "Lord, the situation is very clear now. There have been many territories and there have been magic disasters. The nobles in various territories have different reactions. However, after Baron Pezent was executed by the entire clan, the nobles who were panicked and prepared to escape had to stay behind closed doors."
"Now, our territory is divided into frontline territories by the church. Because the mining area belongs to the territory, the current task is to further strengthen defense."
"We are facing two aspects. First, the demons rushed out of the mining area, and second, the demons from other territories are transferred to our territory. Therefore, we must strengthen both aspects."
"Thankfully, our territory has relatively integrated walls, which has greatly improved the defense."
When they said this, everyone present was full of energy.
After hearing this, Romon nodded and said, "I have already explored that the little demons are not very strong, but the key is that they have small wings. Although these small wings cannot fly, they can jump to three meters high when flapping at critical moments. Although our city wall is four meters, it is still insufficient. It is best to increase one meter higher."
Nick nodded and said, "I've handed over this to us. We still had a lot of bricks and stones last time, so it's not a problem to increase one meter."
"Lord, we can build another arrow tower to form more firepower!" Fafell said.
"Of course, not only that, but also collect more huge rocks and huge trees now. These are also good for the little demons." Romon said instructed.
When Romon built the city wall, he did not notice the devil's disaster. The reason for this construction was due to his game design and insecurity. He always felt that if a territory without the protection of the city wall, it would almost be slaughtered by others. Now it seems that Romon's approach was really correct at the time.
"It is still necessary to roll the wood and boulder. In the city of Apus, this thing is accumulated within the high wall. Once the opponent crosses the line of defense and comes to the city, the boulder and boulder will push down. The boulder and boulder will weigh more than 100 kilograms. Once it is rolled over, even the little demon with thick skin and flesh will become minced meat. Although we are not perfect like this, it will still play a certain role." Old Man Lulun said in agreement.
At this time, Haiwavi also said, "Can we build a moat?"
"The moat has a certain effect. If you have enough time to raise the wall, you can build it." Romon glanced lightly and said, "After the druids are promoted to level 5, they can have thorny spells, making all the walls covered with sword vines and thorns. This has a great effect on people and is difficult to say for demons, but they are better than not."
Everyone present nodded.
Old Man Lu Lun thought about it and said, "To defend against the little demon, the canal should be at least ten meters wide and four meters deep."
"Yeah, that's not bad." Romon said, a pity in secret. In fact, he could use some toxic agents produced by natural plants. Although the demon has strong immunity, it can also make it poisonous.
Romon has poison seeds from the Thieves Union, and several of them are highly poisonous. However, I didn’t pay attention to this before. Although it can be planted immediately in Shennongjiao Space, it will only be harvested after at least three months.
He paused and asked, "Stone cannons have been installed?"
"It's installed!" Fafeer answered neatly. This stone cannon is actually a kind of catapult.
"Lord, is there any assistance to the church?" Hevavi asked with hope.
"Yes, lords who resist firmly will receive this support, but they cannot bring too much hope. I guess they will be a squadron at most." Romon said with a wry smile.
After hearing this, everyone smiled bitterly.
In fact, because of this, Romon could not give up the small mining village. According to Romon's idea, they were all transferred to the Forest House to resist. It was good. The city walls there were not bad. The most important thing was that the basement of the temple was the last place to resist. There were three floors in total. The place inside was very spacious and had extremely sufficient food, weapons, water and potions.
Once all the defense lines in front collapsed, he could retreat here with the people in the territory, and he could still hold on for a long time. All the materials there were made of solid stones, and there were many mechanisms inside. Romon built many mechanisms in the basement, which could resist for a period of time at the last moment.
Romon thought for a while and said slowly under the expectant gaze of everyone: "The layouts I am doing now are just passive resistance. If the demons really touch these defense lines, then it means that we are at a disadvantage. If you want to win, you cannot just defend, but also take the initiative to attack."
As he said that, Romon pulled the detailed territory map to the two of them, pointed to the location of the mining area and said. "This is the main dangerous area of our territory. If you want to make the villages really safe, you must not stop thinking about how to eliminate them as much as possible when the demons come."
"Are you planning to lay out layers of defense outside the village?" Nick asked.
"Of course, it's mainly in the mining area." Romon nodded, with a killing intention on his handsome face: "Since it's a death to go or not, then just fight for it."
Then he said to Nick and Lulun: "I plan to take responsibility for the matter in the territory and Sukal. I, Fafell and Hevavi, will take the soldiers to the mining area to the defense line, intercept these demons, and at the same time, consume their troops."
"But..." Nick wanted to say something, but was stopped by Romon.
"Okay, I understand what you mean, but if the territory is really captured, I will definitely die as the front line lord. Since that's the case, why not fight? Don't worry, I am already a level five druid and can take good care of myself." Romon said. Although he could escape, the price was that he could never survive in human society.
Seeing that Romon had made a decision, Nick had to accept it.
The scholar Lu Lun and Romon did not have such deep feelings. He admired Romon's brave spirit. This spirit of leading by example will surely inspire the confidence and passion of those people in the territory.
In this way, Lord Romon seemed to be a little reckless on the surface, but in fact, he was much more intelligent than the nobles.
However, he asked cautiously: "Lord, how do you want to intercept?"
"In fact, the interception on the ground is not as good as in the mining area. We have already explored. The little demon's combat power is not very high. It is probably the second to third-level warriors. One thing we have a very advantageous position, that is, the demon troops, and their weapons are very backward." Romon said analyzingly: "In this case, if the command is properly, we can even counterattack and give the demon a heavy blow."
In the strategic judgment level, Romon's judgment was quite appropriate. Now that demons in various places have invaded in large numbers, each of them has begun to fight. Even if they attack the demons below the mining area, it is impossible to attract the attention of the demons at the top of the demons.
"Our biggest advantage is that the mine area has a complex terrain and most mines can only accommodate one or two people in and out. Therefore, even thousands of small demons are difficult to pass. Therefore, the cheapest thing is to establish fortifications in the mine area and make the demons pay several times the blood price every inch."
"As for tactics, there are many options for this kind of situation." According to his impression, Romon set up a secret sentry, ambush and assassination, especially tunnel warfare, positions for blood exchange, and all the warriors can be used.
Although these tactics are prevalent in a world where magic and fighting spirit are prevalent and knowledge is strictly controlled, most people are unable to access it. Therefore, as soon as his practical defense lines were spoken out, they immediately aroused everyone's surprise.
When he heard his designs, not only Fafeer and others opened their mouths wide, but even Lu Lun, a scholar who had always had extensive knowledge, had his eyes full of brilliant colors and nodded repeatedly.
"Lord, your idea is really good. You grew up in Ricca Town, have never seen any war situations, and have not been trained by strict knights. How could you come up with so many tactics?" Scholar Lu Lun really wanted to open Romon's head and see what structure it was inside.
"But, this is not enough." When Fafer, Sukar, and Hevavi were already down to arrange these things, Romon still sighed.
Nick looked at Romon with a very admirable look and asked, "Romon, I think your layout is already very powerful, what else do you need to add?"
"There is unity. In fact, I'm not to hide it from you. This time, the soldiers I brought are mainly old adventurers, especially those who have close ties with Haiwave." Although Romon and Haiwave had a very good relationship in the past, this time, fundamental differences arose.
Of course, Romon said this: "They are old adventurers. If you have experience with this, don't worry, we will lay down layers of defense. When the situation is not good, we will retreat into the next line of defense. You don't have to worry about us."
Before leaving, Romon still comforted Nick so much. Then, he gave another advice, and then rushed to the mining area with Fafeer and Hevavi, a large number of old adventurers.
It seems that it is because of the cloudy day today. The mining area looks extremely gloomy and the dim light makes people feel chilled.
Apart from the sound of water droplets and the gentle footsteps of everyone, there are no other sounds in this mining area. Here, it is so quiet that it is crazy.
"Romun, are you setting up another line of defense here?" Fafeer looked around and turned around and asked. Beside him, Romon, who was alert on his face, was also checking the surrounding environment.
They have already set up defense lines since the outermost periphery of the mining area. They are nothing more than traps, medicine powder, secret whistles, etc. There are also relatively strong stone fortresses that can block an impact.
Until the innermost, at least six lines of defense had been laid, and they stopped near the crack.
