In order to successfully fight this defensive battle, Suldak made active pre-war preparations.
In the eyes of Chief Logan, Surdak spent a huge amount of money and manpower to build this city wall, which is the best defense against the evil ghost warriors.
But for Surdak, this wall is only the most basic defense.
In addition, he also prepared a large amount of kerosene and explosive barrels.
This city wall also draws on the construction experience of the northern city wall of Duodan Town in the Bailin plane. An oil injection tank is built with cement under the city wall. In the future, as long as the corpses of evil warriors are piled up under the city wall, a large amount of kerosene may be directly injected.
, forming a wall of fire under the city wall.
However, this defense plan cannot be implemented for the time being, because the height of the city wall is not enough. Once a wall of fire is lit below the city wall, the defenders above the city wall will inevitably turn into burning geese.
As the evil ghost warriors continued to gather, the atmosphere in the camp became more and more solemn.
The Constructed Knights have been practicing infantry combat and city defense combat in recent days. This time they are planning to put away those knights' spears and pick up Paglio spears again to fight on the city walls.
In addition to most of the indigenous warriors who are still building the blocks behind the city wall, there are also some people who are waiting under the city wall wearing armor and holding weapons in order to be able to cope with the sudden war, and watch blankly the training of the construct knights.
.
There are still a large number of indigenous warriors collecting stones from the mountain roads every day. Because they are building houses, the thickness of the walls is strictly limited. They have also begun to be picky about the stones, always looking for shale that looks flat.
The parts that exceed the size must be knocked off with a chisel.
These indigenous people are not lazy. Perhaps it is a kind of self-protection in the face of crisis. In short, they work diligently to collect stones and build markets every day.
To build these houses, luxury materials such as pozzolanic cement will not be used. Instead, dry moss will be mixed with mud and then applied layer by layer in the cracks of the stones.
Due to the lack of wood, many houses only have four walls, and the roof needs some supports made of wood to cap it.
Although forestland is scarce on the Moyunling highlands, it is not without it. However, at the foot of the snow peak in the north, there are some coniferous forests.
The woodland is not far from the city wall, but now there are evil spirits everywhere outside the city wall, and the indigenous warriors are temporarily unable to go out to cut wood.
The temporary headquarters in Surdak was actually a few logs found by the indigenous warriors from the mountain road outside Beishan Pass and carried several kilometers before being transported here.
Although the indigenous warriors seem to be out of place with the knights of the Constructed Knights, the two sides rarely come into contact with each other.
In fact, in private, there is still some communication between the cavalry regiment and the indigenous warriors.
The indigenous soldiers are very envious of the welfare benefits of the soldiers of the Western Route Army Cavalry Regiment, not only the daily military rations, but also weapons and equipment and other benefits, such as merit exchange lists, death pensions, etc.
The soldiers of the cavalry regiment have separate meat cleavers and skinning knives. Some soldiers also carry special table knives, and some knights even have long and short daggers to assist in combat.
The indigenous warriors are like a group of country bumpkins who ran away from the countryside. They are very curious about everything about the construct knights. They always poke their heads around and look around, with caution, innocence and wretchedness in their eyes.
They even didn't understand why this group of construct knights always had to ride war horses, hold up heavy knight spears, and charge towards a straw man.
Ever since one of them accepted a well-intentioned gift from a construct knight, which was an exquisite meat cleaver with serrated teeth on the back that could cut bones, that indigenous warrior became a member of the cavalry regiment and communicated with the indigenous army.
of ties.
These natives would occasionally eat some dried berries brought from the tribe, and they also gave these dried berries to the construct knight.
The two parties became familiar with each other little by little, and then there were some gifts and exchanges between the two parties.
What do the indigenous people have? They are nothing more than Warcraft materials and unpolished gems. They like to string colored gems, magic crystals and bone teeth together to make necklaces, and occasionally set them on leather jackets or quivers.
A piece of magic material.
The Construct Knights can point to whatever they are interested in, and if the natives are willing to exchange it, they will readily take it out.
As for those indigenous people who are unwilling to exchange, there is no need to force them. As long as they express their unwillingness to exchange, they will definitely not agree.
Their value for items is very weak. Even if they know that the gems they carry are worth more, as long as they see an item they like, no matter how valuable it is, they will exchange it without hesitation.
They also have their own happiness. These natives like to chat around the campfire after dinner, and occasionally some people will stand up to challenge a certain companion.
When the two sides compete, there are almost no rules except not using weapons.
Amidst the cheers of the surrounding indigenous warriors, some stood and some fell.
The most mysterious among the indigenous alliance forces are the great witches. They usually rest in tents made of animal skins, and they are rarely seen walking around. The chiefs of each tribe respect these great witches very much, and almost no one can see them.
Dare to disturb them.
Just like the nests of giant ghost-striped soldier ants are off-limits, the residences of these great witches are also off-limits.
Surdak originally planned to communicate with these great witches, but unfortunately these great witches did not want to see him at all.
In the end, Surdak could only give up the idea.
…
It is said that war will drive economic development in the rear area. This is simply a wise saying.
Now that the economy of Hailansa City is developing rapidly, a large number of orders for military supplies have been placed. The trading houses in Hailansa City always go to various places to purchase large quantities. In the end, these materials will be transported to Hailansa City. This makes
The labor costs of migrant workers in Helensa City have increased again and again.
In fact, Surdak also considered locating the material procurement place in Luyint City.
However, there were several major problems facing Suldak at that time. The first point was that the volcanic ash cement factory in Wall Village could not be moved to Luyint City. In addition, the preparation of black powder was also being carried out in Wall Village. These materials
Once transported on a large scale, it will inevitably attract attention from all aspects.
Moreover, Luyint City has just undergone post-war economic recovery, and the Ganbu plane has developed into a tourist plane in recent years. Luyint City, as a transit place, is not suitable for large-scale material distribution.
At that time, Darcy Christie had just died of illness, and Suldak served as the acting consul of Helensa City.
After the political turmoil in the city of Hiranza, whether it is the noble lords, merchants or other people, they actually need to see signs of economic or other recovery in the city of Hiranza.
So Surdak gave Helensa the opportunity this time, and sure enough, the city glowed with new brilliance in more than half a year.
There were obviously more people in the streets, people had some extra money in their pockets, and the whole city was full of vitality.
Every day, convoys arrive in this mountain city with only 300,000 people. Workshops throughout the city receive a large number of orders, and recruitment announcements are everywhere...
Walking in the familiar streets and alleys, Surdak looked at the buildings that were tightly packed together. The extremely dense buildings were a characteristic of the city of Helensa. Many family balconies and terraces were almost connected together, and everyone had no
Build walls on these connecting passages to declare ownership.
These terraces are public areas that can be used by everyone, and occasionally you can see men and women from several families gathering together.
Maybe it's just a simple meal, and you don't even need to drink. Everyone chats and discusses trivial matters in life while eating, making the slow-paced life here very harmonious.
Aphrodite was by his side...
She seldom wears a mithril mask here, and even if she sees her voluptuous and beautiful face, few people will recognize her identity as a succubus because she does not have devil wings.
The cuffs, collar, and skirt corners of the black robe are all decorated with golden thread lace. This skirt is cut from magic pattern spider silk cloth, dyed into black fabric, and beautifully embroidered with gold thread patterns in a tailor shop.
.
The long hair on the top of her head was tied up high, and her face carried a noble aura that kept strangers away from her.
Even if she didn't wear a noble badge on her chest, no one thought she would be a commoner.
"The number of the evil ghost army opposite you is quite large this time. Have you thought of any specific countermeasures?"
Aphrodite stood beside Surdak and helped him straighten his collar.
Perhaps because he is used to wearing magic pattern structures, Surdak is always used to touching the belt with his hands when wearing ordinary noble attire.
He stopped and said to Aphrodite:
"The number of evil ghosts is indeed a bit large this time, but we also have a lot of defenders here, and the group of indigenous warriors who came this time are not weak. Now the two supply lines of the evil ghost army have been completely destroyed by us.
Cut off, as long as we can block this charge, I estimate that the situation on Moyun Ridge will be completely opened up."
The two came to the front of a shop. The plaque read "Olipold Trading Company" and there was a picture of a magic dagger on the signboard.
Aphrodite stepped in. The waiter standing at the door quickly opened the door for Aphrodite and greeted Aphrodite cordially: "Good afternoon, Ms. Aphrodite!"
The lobby manager heard the voice of the waiter at the door and walked out quickly with a faint smile on his face and said to Aphrodite: "Ms. Aphrodite, you are here just in time..."
Aphrodite stopped and asked the lobby manager: "Has the batch of goods I ordered arrived?"
The lobby manager immediately replied: "The goods just arrived in Helensa City yesterday afternoon and are now stored in the warehouse behind the business."
"Take me to see it." Aphrodite said simply.
The lobby manager immediately led Aphrodite and Suldak through the lobby on the first floor of the business and walked towards the backyard. After passing a corridor covered with grapevines, they came to the door of a row of warehouses at the back.
The manager immediately walked out and took the lobby manager to the second warehouse. There were more than a dozen large wooden boxes placed on the outermost shelves of the warehouse, and there were many straw ropes wrapped around the wooden boxes.
The lobby manager asked the warehouse manager to use a crowbar to open a wooden box. First, he opened the straw curtain on the top of the wooden box. Inside was a magic dagger wrapped in oil paper.
If this kind of magic dagger is sold in a magic shop, it will cost at least dozens of gold coins.
But if you buy in bulk at a trading house, the price is much cheaper.
In particular, the high-end industries of inscription and enchantment in the Magic Guild are currently very involved. Especially in the Imperial City, it is said that the Magic Guild has repeatedly tried to set prices for the inscription industry, but the resistance to this matter is huge and it has not been able to implement it.
The chaotic situation in the magic industry allowed Aphrodite to find a purchase channel. Today, the two of them came to buy magic daggers.
The lobby manager's eyes showed unconcealable excitement, and his hands were trembling. He picked up an oil paper bag from the box and opened the oil paper wrapped around the magic dagger. The magic dagger inside actually had thin gemstones embedded in it.
On the sheath, the gold mouthpiece makes the dagger look very high-end.
He said that when the dagger was pulled out of the scabbard, the edge of the dagger was actually black and glowing...
There are some faint magic lines on the blade, and Surdak can very clearly feel the magic power fluctuations on the magic dagger.
"These are high-end goods forged by Master Thomas himself, and the magic patterns on them are also enchanted by the senior enchanters from the Magician's Guild." The lobby manager introduced Aphrodite to Aphrodite in detail, looking at him from time to time.
Will fall on Surdak and say: "As for the material of these magic daggers, they are made of dwarf stainless steel mixed with magic black iron. Not only does it have superior magic conductivity, but the blade itself is also strong enough to cut through any tough magic leather.
.”
Surdak has purchased nearly 10,000 magic daggers in the past two years, and the quality of the magic daggers can be recognized at a glance.
He opened a few oil-paper packages at random, then selected two other boxes to open again. He selected several oil-paper packages and opened them all at once.
Although the styles of the magic daggers inside are somewhat different, it can be seen that they are all of very high quality.
Surdak nodded to Aphrodite.
Aphrodite said to the lobby manager: "Give me the list of items you have prepared. I will take these goods away immediately after settling the balance..."
"I am very willing to serve you, distinguished Lady Aphrodite."
The lobby manager bent down to Aphrodite and said humbly.
Surdak didn't need anyone's help and just put the wooden boxes into the prepared magic waist bag.
Aphrodite followed the lobby manager to the front desk of the trading house to settle the final balance. This time Aphrodite took out a bag of unidentified black magic crystals. The lobby manager saw the bag of black magic crystals.
Magic Crystal, my eyes are a little straight.
Although a casual glance could tell that these were all unidentified black magic crystals, he still invited appraisers from the trading firm to identify the black magic crystals one by one, and finally returned them to Aphrodite.
Five points discount.
It is said that these unidentified black magic crystals are very popular among the upper-class noble circles of Helensa...
When Surdak and Aphrodite walked far away, the lobby manager still stood at the door of the business store to see them off. He turned around and walked back to the business store with a look of joy until nothing could be seen.
