Chapter 208 Arming (Part 2)
In the center of the village, a bonfire was burning.
Hundreds of villagers. Pushing the luggage, and thirty carriages lined up along the road.
Among the countless noises, weeping could not be hidden, it was the sound of family parting.
A little farther away is the cavalry of the Church of God of Order, commanded by knights, and they look at all this indifferently.
In other villages, militiamen (men) will accompany them until they come back to the city gate. However, although the small mining village has not yet experienced a disaster, it is still included in the front line. Therefore, it has lost this right. All fifteen-year-olds The above men must bid farewell to their families here.
Five Luoli, Bell is a professional, had to stay.
The other four, even Fulali who had a relationship with Romon, also chose to leave. Only Sally stayed behind.
For this, Romon gave him a severance pay, and as for Fu Lali, 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 leave, and some women can choose to stay.
On the balcony by the window, Romon saw Haiwawei and his son Hanrim talking with his wife.
Haiwawi has two sons. The eldest son Hanlim has turned fifteen and must stay and fight. The second son is only eleven and can go to the city with his mother.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a sound of a horn.
This is the order of the knights to urge them to leave.
In this situation of life and death, everyone's nerves were tense, and the sound of the horn made everyone in the village commotion.
Romon sighed, did not continue to look, and entered the room.
The hall was full of people with sad faces and different expressions.
Farfell, Nick, old man Lulun, Fudi, and Sukar are all here, and almost everyone knows very well how difficult and terrifying things will be encountered next, and none of them said a word.
After a while, Romon frowned, but Haiwawei hadn't come up yet.
Seeing Romon frown. The old man Lu Lun also frowned. Of course he knew how Romon felt, whoever was not separated from his family,
They all came early in the morning, only Haiwawei was still procrastinating...
Maybe he joined the Romon Territory, but instead became the front line, there must be resentment!
After a while, a murderous intent flashed in Romon's eyes, and at this moment, the door opened and Haiwawei came in.
Everyone is in order, this is the main fighting force on the territory.
"Everyone already knows that our territory is divided into the first-line territory by the church, mainly because there are demons coming in and out of the mining area." Romon said, his eyes swept over Haiwawei, and said unceremoniously : "Now, we have to deploy more specific defense and combat plans."
"Yes, my lord!" Farfell replied, "Just tell us what we think, Mr. Lulun, you go ahead!"
On such an occasion. For the first time, Farfell called Romon Lord Lord to unify authority.
The old man Lulun also said: "Your lord, the situation is very clear now. There have been many territories where evil disasters have occurred. The nobles in each territory have different reactions. However, after Baron Pegent was executed by the whole family, The nobles who were about to flee in panic had to stay behind closed doors."
"Now, our territory is divided into the first-line territory by the church. Because the mining area belongs to the territory, the task now is to further strengthen the defense."
"We are facing two aspects. First, the demons rush out from the mining area. Second, the demons from other territories move to our territory. Therefore, we must strengthen both aspects."
"Fortunately, our territory has a relatively combined city wall, which has greatly improved the defense."
When this sentence was said, everyone present was full of energy.
Romon listened. He nodded and said, "I've checked it out, and the strength of little devils is not high, but the key is that they have small wings. Although these small wings can't fly, they can jump up to three meters high when it's critical. Although our city wall is four meters long, it is not enough, it is better to increase it by one meter."
Nick nodded and said, "Let's leave it to us. We still had a lot of bricks and stones in stock last time. It's not a problem to increase the height by one meter."
"My lord, we can build more arrow towers to form more firepower!" Faffel said.
"Of course, not only that, but also take advantage of the present to collect more boulders and trees. These are also good for little devils." Romon instructed.
When Romon built the city wall, he didn't notice the evil disaster. The reason why he built it this way was due to his game design and his sense of insecurity. He always felt that if a territory was not guarded by a city wall, in case of any war, it would be almost at the mercy of others. Now it seems that what Romon did at the beginning was really correct.
"The rolling boulder is still necessary. In the city of Arpus, it is within the high wall to accumulate this thing. Once the opponent crosses the line of defense in the ditch and comes to the city, the rolling boulder will be pushed down. Those rolling boulders, everyone They all weigh more than 100 catties. Once they are rolled over, even a rough-skinned little devil will be turned into minced meat. Although we are not perfect, it will still play a certain role." Old Lu Lun agreed. talking.
At this time, Haiwawei also interjected: "Then can we build a moat?"
"The moat has a certain effect. If there is still time after raising the city wall, it can be built." Romon glanced lightly, and said: "After the druid is promoted to the fifth level, he can have spells full of thorns. The sword vines and thorns that cover all the walls are very effective for humans, but it is difficult to say for demons, but it is better than nothing."
Everyone present nodded.
Old Lu Lun thought about it, and said, "To defend against little devils, the canal must be at least ten meters wide and four meters deep."
"Well, that's right." Romon said, secretly regretting that he could actually prepare some poisonous potions produced by natural plants. Although the devil's immunity is very strong, it can also poison it.
Romon has the poison seeds from the Thieves Guild, some of which are highly poisonous. However, he has not paid attention to this aspect before. Although Luo Li can be planted immediately in the Shennongjiao space, it will take at least three months before they can be harvested.
After a pause, he asked, "Have the stone cannons been installed?"
"Pretend it!" Farfell replied bluntly. This stone cannon is actually a trebuchet.
"My lord, is there any assistance for the church?" Haiwawei asked hopefully.
"Yes, the lord who resolutely resists will get this support, but you can't bring too much hope, I guess, it will be a squadron at most." Romon said with a wry smile.
After hearing this, everyone smiled wryly.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that Romon could not give up the small mining village. Originally, according to Romon's idea, it would be good to transfer all of them to the Forest House for resistance. The city walls there were not bad, and most importantly, the basement of the temple there, It is the last place of resistance, with a total of three floors. The space inside is very spacious, and there are extremely sufficient food, weapons, water and medicine.
Once all the front lines of defense collapsed, he could take the people on the territory and retreat here, and he could hold out for a long time. The materials there are all made of solid stone, and there are many traps inside. Romon built a lot of traps in the basement, which are enough to resist for a period of time at the last moment.
Luo Meng thought for a while, and under the expectant eyes of everyone, he said slowly: "The layout I am making now is just passive resistance. If the devil has really touched these lines of defense, then it means that we have already occupied the defense line." Downwind. If you want to win, you can't just defend, but also take the initiative to attack."
As he spoke, Romon pulled the detailed territory map in front of the two of them, pointing to the location of the mining area. "This is the main dangerous area in our territory. If you want to make the village really safe, you have to think about how to wipe out the demons as much as possible when they come up."
"Are you planning to lay down layers of defense outside the village?" Nick asked.
"Of course, but it's mainly in the mining area." Romon nodded, with a murderous look on his handsome face: "Since you're dead if you don't go, then let's fight."
Then, he said to Nick and Lulun: "I plan to let the two of you and Sukar be responsible for the affairs of the territory. I, Farfer, and Haiwawei will take the soldiers to the mining area to set up 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, as the first-line lord, will definitely die. If this is the case, why not fight hard. Don't worry, I'm already a level five druid now, and I can take care of myself." Romon said, although he can escape and flee, the price is that he can no longer mix in human society.
Seeing that Romon had already made a decision, Nick had no choice but to accept it.
Scholar Lu Lun didn't have such a deep relationship with Romon, but he admired Romon's brave spirit. This kind of spirit of being able to lead the way will surely inspire the confidence and passion of those in the territory.
From this point of view, Lord Romon seems to be a little reckless on the surface, but in fact, he is much smarter than those nobles.
However, he still asked cautiously: "My lord, how do you want to intercept it?"
"Actually, the interception on the ground is not as good as in the mining area. We have already explored it. The fighting power of the little devil is not very high. It is probably a fighter of the second to third pole. One thing we have an advantage is the demon army. Weapons Very backward." Romon said analytically: "In this way, if we command properly, we can even counterattack and give the devil a heavy blow."
At the level of strategic judgment, Romon's judgment on whether he was born on Earth is quite appropriate. Now that demons from all over the world have invaded in large numbers, and every one of them has started to fight. Even if they attack the demons below the mining area, it is impossible to attract the attention of the high-level demons.
"Our biggest advantage is that in the mining area, the terrain is complex. Most of the mine tunnels can only allow one or two people to enter and exit. Therefore, even if there are thousands of little devils, it is difficult to pass through. Therefore, we build fortifications in the mining area to let the devils enter every inch , have to pay several times the price of blood, which is the cheapest thing."
"As for the tactics, there are many choices in this kind of situation." According to his impression, Romon said everything that could be used, such as setting up secret sentries, ambushes and assassinations, especially tunnel warfare and exchanging blood for blood. .
These tactics, in a world where magic and fighting spirit prevail, and knowledge is strictly controlled, although they are said to exist, they are difficult for most people to get in touch with. Therefore, when he mentioned these practical lines of defense, everyone immediately aroused amazement.
When they heard his designs, not only Farfell and the others opened their mouths, but even Lu Lun, a scholar who has always been a profound knowledge, had bright eyes and nodded repeatedly.
"My lord, your idea is really good. You grew up in the town of Rika, and you have never seen those wars, and you have not received strict knight training. How can you come up with so many tactics?" Scholar Lu Lun I really want to open Romon's head and see what kind of structure is inside.
"However, these alone are not enough." When Farfer, Sukar, and Haiwawei went down to arrange these with people, Romon still sighed.
Nick looked at Romon with admiration, and asked, "Romon, I think your layout is already very good, what else do you need to add?"
"The next step is to unite as one, to tell you the truth, this time, the soldiers I bring are mainly old adventurers, especially adventurers who have a close relationship with Haiwawei." True, but this time, a fundamental disagreement emerged.
Of course, what Romon said was this: "They are old adventurers who have experience in this. Don't worry, we will lay down layers of defense. If the situation is not good, we will retreat to the next line of defense. You don't have to worry about us. "
Before leaving, Romon still comforted Nick in this way. Then, after exhorting them again, he, Fafer and Haiwawei rushed to the mining area with a large number of old adventurers.
It seems to be because of the cloudy sky today, the mining area looks extremely gloomy here, under the dim light, it makes one's body chill.
Except for the sound of water droplets and the light footsteps of the people, there is no other sound in this mining area. Here, it's almost maddeningly quiet.
"Romon, do you want to set up another line of defense here?" Farfell looked around, turned around and asked. Beside him, a vigilant Romon was also checking the surrounding environment.
Starting from the outermost periphery of the mining area, they have already begun to lay down their defenses. Nothing more than traps, powder, secret whistle and other layout. There is also a relatively strong stone fortress, which is enough to block an impact.
All the way to the innermost part, at least six lines of defense have been deployed, and they stopped near the crack.
There, there was already a very strong dark aura spraying out, Romon looked at Farfell, nodded and said: "Let's set up the first line of defense here!" (!)
