Chapter 236: Arrangement before the war

The statistics on the first day of the battle came out very quickly. After each squad leader got the statistics, he or she was happy or worried. The total number of twelve classes has resulted in 40 deaths and nearly 100 minor and serious injuries. There are at least some serious injuries. A dozen people have basically lost their combat effectiveness, and it is no different from being killed in battle.

The downsizing is too serious!

This was only the first day. Therefore, the acting squad leaders of the temporary headquarters had a fierce quarrel about the plan for defending the city. Some people felt that the fortress was too small after all, and there were too few of them. The siege might not last long, so they felt that they should drag the enemy outside the city to delay time.

But other people felt that their opponent was probably the main force of the orcs. Judging from the previous battles, the strength of the orcs was stronger than them. It is undoubtedly stupid to give up the strong walls.

Everyone always wants to show some excellent commanding ability, so that he can get a higher evaluation in the end. Maybe the selection of the seniors depends on this decision?

Therefore, the first day of landing was almost spent in quarrels. Since waking up, Xiao Lin has naturally joined this temporary headquarters composed of all acting squad leaders, but most of the time he did not express any opinions. After discussing with the fame, two classes from both sides who have good basic bow and arrow skills will be sent out for investigation first.

Regardless of whether it is defending from a stronghold or taking the initiative to attack, they must first grasp the enemy's movements, and Xiao Lin doesn't know why, and a very restless feeling lingers in his heart. He always feels that he seems to have overlooked something crucial. Things, but they can't grasp the key points.

Although the controversy continues. However, the squad leaders of the temporary headquarters did not understand anything. Many measures and orders were quickly issued. It was quickly implemented by the students in all classes.

The first is to set up a large number of traps at the foot of the mountain and on the slope. The architects provided a lot of guidance and help in this regard. There are also batches of materials available in the warehouse of the fort. There are two main types of traps. The flame trap is It is made of solidified animal fat oil, and then paved with magic materials with extremely low ignition points. As long as a person walks on it, a slight friction on the soles of the feet can ignite the entire trap.

There is also a thorn trap. Using plants full of barbs as a material, buried in the soil, the barb itself does not hurt much, but after being coated with toxins, its power is not to be underestimated. At the same time, everyone has made temporary obstacles such as horse-rejection and rope to prevent cavalry. Things.

The investigations sent by Xiao Lin and Cheng Ming did not find out. The first day after the siege was over, the squad leaders used the meat in the warehouse to boil several large pots of thick broth and put them on the open training ground. , And lit a few bonfires, and the rich fragrance of meat filled the night sky.

They wanted to invite the captain and sailors of the warship to come and enjoy it. But they politely refused, because they need to be vigilant at all times. In order to make the quickest response, and this batch of warships will return to Dawn City within two or three days at most. This makes everyone a little bit regretful. Originally, some of them suggested that the warships should continue their investigation along the coastline.

However, according to the historical process, these warships must leave. Compared with this supply station, the defense of Dawn City is obviously something the fleet attaches more importance to.

The next day the fleet pulled its anchor as promised, but Xiao Lin had found the captain of the warship he had boarded earlier and made a small request. The latter largely agreed, so there were a number of observation scrolls in the fort. In this world, this kind of scroll that concentrates comprehensive capabilities such as far vision and night vision is basically something that can replace telescopes.

Compared with others who are still arguing about how to defend, Xiao Lin is more concerned about investigation. Although many of the students have learned the Hawkeye skill, this skill can greatly improve the range of sight, but after all, it is not comparable. This high-end reel.

In this way, four days passed quickly. After everyone’s rush to work, hundreds of traps, large and small, have been buried near the fortress. The architects also erected more than a dozen defensive towers. However, because of the urgent time, these defensive towers They are relatively crude arrow towers and magic towers, and need to be operated by humans.

But no matter what, it seemed that the fortress had become impregnable, and although the investigators sent by Xiao Lin still did not find the enemy troops every time they came back, the basic topographic map nearby was almost finished.

Except for the small lush jungle near the foot of the mountain, other places are the vast plains of Pingchuan. It is no wonder that the orcs will set up the largest supply station here. In terms of transportation, their wolf cavalry wants to get here. It is really easy.

Under Xiao Lin’s repeated reminders, others gradually paid attention to investigation, and later on the fourth day, they began to build simple outposts at major intersections. Because there were no remote communication tools, they even imitated them. Beacon towers on the earth are full of weeds in the outposts. As long as the enemy is found, the guards will ignite them immediately.

The role of brainstorming is still very obvious. Everyone is racking their brains to think about whether there is any possible omission~lightnovelpub.net~ Although they are constantly arguing on many details, everyone's ultimate goal is the same. The longer this place is, the greater the benefits for everyone.

After the initial sense of tension, looking at the newly renewed fortress and countless defensive towers, many people couldn’t help feeling proud. There were enough materials in the warehouse as support, coupled with the skills of the architects, Their efficiency is still quite high.

After relaxing, everyone can finally take a moment to watch the nearby scenery, especially standing on the fortress and looking at the humid sea breeze, which is very refreshing.

There are also people who sneak to the beach quietly, touch some seafood products when the tide is low, and then discuss with everyone how to eat seafood in this world, or simply bask in the sun on the beach. The air here is indeed quite fresh.

The squad leaders initially prohibited this behavior, but as the investigation system gradually improved, the post and the beacon tower were set up to make them confident that they had enough time to deal with any possible attacks, and the nerves that were tight every day really needed Relax a little bit, otherwise the orcs will be exhausted by themselves before they come, so some monitors and counselors have joined the ranks.

Xiao Lin worked hard these days. He even continued to arrange two teams of archers to monitor the sky around the clock during the day and not allow any animals like goshawks to fly into the airspace near the fortress. He also felt that this would basically guarantee foolproofness. After brewing, she actively invited Gu Xiaoyue to walk on the beach. (To be continued.) Ps: Book friends, I am the cabbage of the end.
