There is a city wall more than 40 meters high at the pass between the two mountains on the north side of Duodan Town. The stone gaps on the outer wall are filled with white ash. The entire outer wall is not a smooth surface. It is nearly 350 meters high.
Sixty-nine guide grooves are built on the 3-meter-long defensive wall, which are guide grooves specially prepared for rolling stones.
There are nearly twenty bed crossbows installed on this section of the city wall.
On the 350-meter-wide span, there are fifteen arrow towers alone.
It is hard to imagine how much the Bailin natives in the north will pay if they want to attack Duodan Town.
Using this section of the city wall as a standard to evaluate the walls of other cities, Suldak felt that even the city wall in the main city of Bena would not be stronger than this section of the city wall in the north of Dodan Town.
Surdak saw the mountain rising straight into the clouds, and the shortest stone clusters rising into the sky were at least nearly a hundred meters high.
The situation in Duodan Town is not as optimistic as the official report, because the report did not mention that a small-scale beast tide breaks out in the Bailin Warcraft Forest every ten years or so. According to Mei
Baron Nader said that the largest beast tide in the history of Dodan Town was about 120 years ago, when violent and ferocious monsters rushed out of the northern monster forest and bloodbathed the northern part of Wilkes City almost overnight.
There are more than thirty small towns including Duodan Town.
At that time, Bena's Army relied on the city defense of Wilkes City to barely hold back the beast tide.
After the beast tide subsided, the then Duke Newman spent huge sums of money to build an impregnable city wall here in Duodan Town. The new Duodan Town was also rebuilt on the original site of the old town. In the following years, although the Warcraft Forest
There are no longer such big beast tides, but every ten years or so, small beast tides still break out.
The worst news left by Baron Maynard is that eleven years have passed since the last beast wave broke out in Dodan Town. So far, although there have been some strange movements of Warcraft in the World of Warcraft Forest, no changes have been found.
Signs of mass gathering.
Such a big thing was not clearly pointed out in the report submitted by the Langdon Army to the Bena Province. Apparently some dignitaries of the Langdon family made some small moves in it, fearing that the family's private army would fall into the northern part of the Bailin plane.
It is difficult to escape from the beast tide in the Warcraft Forest. This time, the Bena Provincial House of Representatives dispatched the Luther Army, probably hoping to use the elite troops of the Bena Legion to resist this beast tide.
However, judging from the data of Duodan Town resisting the beast tide for more than a hundred years, this wall blocking the northernmost end of the occupied area of Bilin Plane is still trustworthy.
On the eve of the war, Surdak needed to make as many preparations as possible.
Surdak stood on the city wall. Through the narrow gap between the pass and the mountain, he could see the edge of the Warcraft Forest in the northern part of the plane. He turned around and looked at the guards on the city wall. These wall guards are currently under the defense of Duodan Town.
The brigade is an armed force directly controlled by the town hall of Duodan Town. The city defense brigade is usually responsible for city defense affairs.
These guards are wearing armor and weapons, which are also standard weapons issued by the military.
Captain Hans of the city defense brigade and several squadron captains accompanied Suldak. They introduced the defensive power of the city wall to Suldak. They opened the material warehouse behind the city wall and saw that it was filled with bundles of supplies.
Giant crossbow arrows wrapped in oilcloth, boxes of kerosene, fire scale bombs, and rows of extremely smooth stone balls with a diameter of two on the wooden frame under the city wall, Surdak knew that in order to be able to defend the north of Duodan Town,
The senior officials, including Wilkes City, have put a lot of effort into building this wall.
When Surdak stood at the top of the city and asked Hans how he had defended the previous beast tides, Captain Hans, who had already participated in two beast tide battles, immediately took Surdak to the wall stacks.
Next to him, pointing to the underground ditches like drainage channels on the city wall plane, he said:
"In the past, when we were defending the city, when those monsters came up, we only needed to pour fire oil down the grooves on the city wall, and ignite the oil before the beasts arrived, forming a wall of fire to block most of the monsters.
Outside, as long as you prepare enough fire oil and allow it to continue burning for two or three weeks, the beast tide will recede on its own."
Unexpectedly, the city defense forces of Duodan Town also deployed a fire wall outside the city wall. From what Captain Hans said, it seems that this fire wall is quite practical.
Surdak nodded and walked down the steps of the city wall.
Standing on the steps inside the city wall, you can clearly see the entire town of Dodan. There are only two most conspicuous buildings in the town, and the other buildings appear ordinary.
Looking at a two-story building in the center of the town, Captain Hans quickly introduced: "Baron Surdak, that is the town hall of Dodan Town, and the gardens and courtyards behind it are small
The residence of Baron Marco, the consul of the town.”
Then he pointed to a three-story building in the center of the most prosperous neighborhood in the town and said: "That is the largest trading house in our town. If you have any needs, you can go there to purchase. The goods in the trading house are very complete."
A large clock was built on the roof of the three-story building, and the street outside the trading house was filled with magic caravans, making the trading house look particularly lively.
"Lord Baron, it's not very safe outside the town recently. The beast tide is approaching. Some bandit groups can't survive in the Warcraft Forest, so they go outside Dodan Town to rob the business groups and weak adventure groups here. However, they usually hide in
In the mountains to the north of the city wall, there is no danger as long as you don't cross the city wall. When your cavalry team patrols the north of the city, you must be careful of the bandit groups." Hans followed Surdak and walked down.
City Wall and said.
Surdak asked in surprise: "At this time, there are still bandits who dare to loot the adventure group north of the city wall? Aren't they worried that they will be swallowed up by the tide of beasts in an instant?"
Hans smiled bitterly and explained: "Those bandit groups are said to be bandit groups, but they are not just some local indigenous people in the mountains, but also some adventure groups who are familiar with this place. They usually hunt World of Warcraft in the Warcraft Forest, but when they see other
The adventure group will also transform into a powerful bandit group, and when the beast tide breaks out, people will still swagger into Duodan Town."
As long as there is no conclusive evidence for an adventurous group like this, no one can do anything to them.
This type of adventure group is also more dangerous than those pure bandit groups, because the identities of their adventure group members can provide them with more information about other adventure groups. This kind of adventure group is also the target that the adventure union has always focused on.
Weiru, who had been following the group of people silently, almost becoming invisible, came out from behind and said to Surdak: "I went out to check. Naturally, I can't let them mess around at this time.
Let them be honest, since we are here, we must send a signal to the people of Duodan Town..."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the city wall without waiting for Surdak to express his opinion.
"Viru!" Surdak shouted from behind.
Viru, who was covered in bandages, stopped and turned to look at Surdak.
Surdak waved to him and said: "Be safe."
Just when Hans was wondering how this bandaged archer with a long bow said he wanted to leave the city, why he climbed onto the city wall instead, he saw Viru jumping from the forty-meter-high city wall, and Hans was stunned.
In the eyes of the earth, the body disappeared in an instant.
…
In the afternoon, Suldak was going to visit Baron Marco, the consul of Dodan Town. Instead of returning to the military camp, the group directly chose a restaurant in the town for lunch. This restaurant was just an ordinary barbecue restaurant.
When the waiter at the door saw Suldak walking in, he quickly opened the door eagerly and arranged the group of people to a row of long tables in the corner of the hall.
Xigna hid behind Selena, looking curiously at the restaurant filled with the aroma of barbecue and ale. Looking at the decoration in the restaurant, she felt a little dazzled. The waiters holding silver-plated trays were in the lobby.
Walking through it, it looks very ornamental.
The cheap oil paintings on the walls and the flower pots in front of the foyer attracted her attention. If Selena hadn't been holding her little hand, she almost stopped.
In fact, Nika's performance was not as good as that of Xigna. When she stood at the door of the restaurant, she hesitated whether to follow in or wait outside. When Samira saw Nika standing at the door hesitating, she
He waved to him at the door and motioned for her to follow him.
Nika lowered her head and glanced at the slippers with exposed toes, and was a little afraid to step into the restaurant.
There is a similar restaurant in Keelan Town. She also peeped into the restaurant from the street outside, but was driven away by the waiter with a stick.
"Come in, it's okay, you are now a retinue of Baron Suldak, they don't dare to stop you." Samira put one hand on Nika's shoulder, hugged him into her arms, and said
Go into the restaurant.
The waiter at the door of the restaurant even took the initiative to open the door for them. His humble look made Nika a little unsure of how to deal with it. Her heart was beating fast and she walked into the restaurant without doing anything.
Suldak did not notice these episodes. He has been discussing the next training plan of the cavalry battalion with Andrew. Since the beast tide is approaching in Dodan Town, the training plan for the cavalry battalion must be made.
For some changes, at least the training intensity needs to be increased. High-intensity training means huge physical exertion, which requires the cavalry to have better food.
Moreover, when the patrol team recently patrols near the border line in the north of the city, it must be led by Andrew, Samira, or Gulitem.
Surdak plans to go to the border in the north of the city to inspect it in person tomorrow.
The menu in the restaurant here is very simple. Apart from barbecue, there are only some seasonal vegetables and fruits.
On the street of Dodan Town, several aboriginal children were standing on the street. Through the window, they saw Nika sitting on a chair at the end of the restaurant, struggling to cut a piece of bloody beef. She was not very good at eating with a knife.
It was a bit difficult to eat such a large piece of beef, and the meat made her cheeks bulge.
Those aboriginal children had the courage to lie down by the window. When they saw Nika stuffing a large piece of beef into his mouth, the saliva from the corner of his mouth flowed out in frustration.
When the restaurant waiter saw a group of children surrounding the street window, he was worried that it would disturb the customers' dining, so he quickly ran out of the restaurant with the handle, frightening the aboriginal children to scatter.
Nika lowered her eyes and concentrated on cutting the delicious barbecue on the plate, but her mood was extremely complicated.
At this time, she realized that the people in the small town outside had not changed, and the people in this town also looked down on the aborigines. The only one who had changed... was herself.
Samira opened her hood, revealing her beautiful elf-like face, but her light red eyes carried a murderous aura that could not be hidden. When her eyes fell on the waiters, they would feel a pain in their chests, as if they had been hit instantly.
One arrow...
She recently received Weiru's guidance, and her strength improved a bit quickly. The side effect that followed was that she couldn't control her aura.
Normally, if you wear a hood to cover your face, you won't feel anything wrong, but when you have to eat, you need to lift the hood, and those light red eyes full of murderous aura are a bit too sharp.
She ate half of the smoked fish and covered her face again with her hood.
Probably after learning that the chief of the Dodan Town garrison was coming to dine, the restaurant owner hurried over. Not only did he bring a bottle of golden cider and a dessert, he also planned to waive the meal fee for Surdak and his party.
After lunch, the restaurant owner stood at the door with a smile on his face and sent everyone away.
Duodan Town is not big, and the restaurant is only six or seven hundred meters away from the town hall. Suldak led a group of people to the gate of the town hall.
Selina hugged Xigna, pointed to Suldak at the small square opposite the town, and said: "I will take them to wait for you over there..."
Suldak nodded, and then he and Andrew walked into the town hall.
