The defense tower is indeed a building that can effectively block enemy invasion. Archers or artillery can be placed on the defense tower to fire bows, arrows, large rocks, cannonballs, etc. at the soldiers entering the territory. As for the degree of solidity, of course, the stronger it is, the easier it is to block it.

enemy.

However, there is a very difficult point. This time the enemies are vampire soldiers. There is no doubt that they all have a pair of huge wings that can fly to a height of hundreds of meters. They can attack at a higher position than ordinary defense towers.

The human soldiers below fire bows and arrows and other weapons. Ordinary defense towers can only withstand a small part of their attacks and do not have much effect.

Witte thought that in order to block the vampire soldiers more effectively, he must build a higher defense tower, preferably higher than the height that vampires can fly.

Werther looked at the sky outside the window, quietly thinking about the defense tower. Lina, who did not know the guidance of the parchment, thought Werther was in a daze, so she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

He turned his head and looked at Lina with doubts in his eyes.

"Witt, what are you thinking about?" Lina asked, tilting her head.

"So that's what you wanted to ask. I was thinking about how to build a defense tower." Witte replied.

"Defense tower?" Linna was a little surprised and surprised, "You are really amazing, you actually thought of this move. If you have a strong defense tower, it will be equivalent to saving a lot of troops."

Witte smiled softly: "It's not what I thought, it was the guidance of the parchment. It's just that we need higher defense towers, and the difficulty of building towers has increased a lot."

Witte believes that there are two main reasons for the current difficulty: First, higher defense towers require more materials and manpower, and more time. It is difficult to build an ordinary defense tower within a month, let alone build one.

It's so high; secondly, the stones and bricks used in these buildings are difficult to transport to such high places.

"In this case, it will be difficult to build a better defense tower." Lina also agreed with Witte's point of view, "But don't forget, you can use magic. Can you use the magic you master to overcome some constructions?"

What about the difficulties?”

Witte's eyes lit up. Yes, didn't he know the magic of moving objects through the air? Now he is more comfortable using this magic. He should be able to instantly move the building materials to the top of the building he is building every day. This can save money.

A lot of work.

He can transport building materials from a distance to the top every night, and then use teleportation magic to move to the top, and then he can secretly continue to build upwards. At the same time, he can also use teleportation magic to speed up his construction.

speed. Before dawn, he used teleportation magic to transport a batch of construction materials to the top, and then allowed the workers to continue building.

By repeating this process, it is not impossible to build a strong defense tower within a month.

Werther told Lina his idea, and Lina fully agreed.

"I can help you build it at night. Working at night is what I'm best at." Lina smiled.

"That's the best thing. With you helping me, I feel relieved."

"Then where do you plan to build the defense tower?"

Witte recalled the terrain map near Daybreak Town in his mind, thought for a while and said:

"We must first understand the terrain. The castle is located in the southwest corner of Daybreak Town, on the border. Once outside the border, it is no longer in the country of Notland. There are woods and desolate plains outside the border. These desolate places

It belongs to neither the Kingdom of Notland nor the Kingdom of Brudin. Only when you travel through these places can you truly reach the territory of the Blood clan.

Miasma may appear in those woods. Once a strong miasma appears, it will affect people's judgment of direction. But this is not a problem for the vampires, it will only affect humans. Similarly, as long as the vampire soldiers use flying, they will not be able to judge the direction.

They will be afraid of wild wolves and tigers on the plains, but humans now have no way to resist these beasts.

While humans can only defend on the ground, the Vampires can attack in the air. With such an advantage, Vampire soldiers will inevitably choose to attack from the woods and plains where beasts are infested. In their minds, they can defeat humans in this way.

The soldiers were in a hurry and managed to rush from the border into Dawn Town.

After thinking about the most likely attack direction of the Vampires, we can decide where to build the defense tower. Go towards the farm, and the beasts and forests on the border will appear, so we will build the defense tower on the plain near the forest."

After hearing this, Lina showed an expression of admiration in her eyes: "Witt, your idea is so perfect, you really deserve to be a lord!"

"Hehehe~" Werther touched the back of his head with his hand, squinted his eyes, and smiled proudly.

After the two of them laughed in the bedroom for a while, Werther suddenly realized something, opened his eyes and said, "Then we will start construction now and recruit a large number of workers."

"Then I will inform Wil now and ask him to put up the notice."

"Wait a minute, most of the people in Daybreak Town have their own jobs now, and maybe few people have free time to help build defense towers. However, this time, although I can use magic, I still need a lot of workers to help.

In order to attract a large number of people to sign up, we need to double the salary.

In Dawn Town, under normal circumstances, workers’ monthly wages are twenty silver coins, so why not increase their wages to one gold coin per month this time.”

When Linna heard the amount of money, she immediately opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth slightly: "Is it so much money? But I'm afraid our gold coins are not enough."

"Don't worry about this. We can first pay for it from the business money and my living expenses. Anyway, now that the workshop has started to operate, the money problem should be solved." Although Werther said this, Lina could see that he

Not really sure.

"Then how many workers do you plan to recruit?" Linna then asked.

"This is not necessarily true. It also depends on the progress of the project. I wonder how high the vampires can fly?" Witte asked seriously.

"Well..." Linna put her finger to her mouth and thought for a while, then said, "Generally, it can fly up to one hundred to two hundred meters."

"Then we'd better build it to about two hundred meters. In this case, I'm afraid we'll need five to sixty people to recruit long-term workers at the beginning." Witte said.

"Can we really recruit so many people? What if we don't have enough manpower?" Lina asked doubtfully.

"We can attract people from neighboring towns to come." Witte smiled. "We can post recruitment notices in neighboring towns and we will definitely get a hundred people."

"That makes sense. Now I'm going to write the notice." Linna stood up from the chair.

Vittor nodded and said, "I'll notify Wile and Ivan and ask them to post notices in Dawn Town and Luminous Town respectively."

"But, there is one more thing." Linna lowered her head slightly and said worriedly, "Even if the defense tower is built, there are not enough soldiers to resist the invading vampire soldiers. Dawn Town currently only has one knight commander and ten knights.

, the troops are really too few.”

Werther only realized this problem after Linna's reminder. When the vampires really attacked, the only ones who could fight against them were these people. Even if he and Linna stepped forward to fight, they would not be able to fight against twenty at most.

Several vampire soldiers fought against each other. The vampire prince was selected from the soldiers of the entire Bruding Kingdom.

"Approximately how many soldiers are there in the Brudin Kingdom?" Witte asked Lina.

"I don't know the details, but there are about 100,000 vampires in our country of Brudin, so there are at least 1,000 soldiers."

"So many people." Werther whispered.

Then he lowered his head slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Even if we have defense towers, we will need at least seven to eight hundred soldiers to fight them."

Linna frowned and said: "The population of Dawn Town is only about 1,900. If there is a recruitment, maybe dozens of people can sign up. Even if we go to a neighboring town to recruit soldiers, there will not be enough for 1,000 people. Does it mean that there will be more?

Are you recruiting troops from far away?"

Witte sighed: "We can't recruit troops from other territories, because in Notland, each lord can only recruit troops in his own territory. If he recruits troops from other territories, it would be disrespectful to other lords, and it would also show disrespect to the king.

.

At that time, conflicts will inevitably occur, with disastrous consequences. What's more, the places connected to our Dawn Town are all in Dark City, and Dark City is the territory of Duke Dark.

If I recruit troops in his place, there are only two outcomes.

The first is that Duke Dak directly has a reasonable reason to attack Dawn Town. He will use a large number of his own troops to incorporate Dawn Town into his own territory, and his father will definitely support his approach; the second is that Dak

The Duke complained directly to my father, who then removed my title of lord and imprisoned me in the dungeon of Frank City."

"So that's it!" Lina said in surprise, "Then this road won't work. What should you do?"

Witte lowered his head and thought for a while, frowned and said, "There is only one way now, which is to borrow troops from my father."

"But if the king is afraid of you, how can he easily lend you his soldiers?"

"So I have to find a way. And this can't be done blatantly. It must be done secretly, and some tricks must be used to blind their eyes."

"Why is this?" Lina looked at Werther curiously, with a look of envy in her eyes.

"One tactic is to use some means to hide it from the enemy and accomplish something without the enemy's knowledge, so that this thing can play a role in repelling the enemy."

Werther originally wanted to say, "Build the plank road in the open and cover it in the dark", but he didn't know how to express it in the language of this world, so he told Lina in ordinary expressions.

"You think, if the vampire prince and vampire soldiers know that I am thinking of ways to counter their attacks, then they will definitely adjust their tactics, and then our current tactics will not be so useful.

But if I try my best not to let them know my plan, then they will still mistakenly think that I do not know that they will attack Dawn Town, and at the same time they will be careless and will not guess that I have begun to borrow troops and build

Defense tower.

So whether we are borrowing troops or building defense towers, we have to do it secretly."

Linna nodded and said: "I understand what you mean. Borrowing troops can be hidden from them, but the defense tower is too obvious."

Witte smiled and said: "I have my own ideas about this. We can use other reasons to build defense towers, such as saying that we are building a place where we can stargaze, eat, drink and have fun, or build a warehouse. This way

The vampire soldiers will not doubt it."
