At night, Surdak returned to the Red Dragon Secret Chamber through Aphrodite's summoning door. Israel was still lying in the secret room, eagerly waiting for Surdak to bring the red crystal to feed, and she also had to learn the language of runes.
.
Today, Yiser can already speak a few simple words in Imperial language. In addition to Surdak's name, the red dragon Yiser has completely mastered simple words such as "eat," "hungry," and "you are here."
You can briefly exchange a few words with Surdak, but it is currently impossible to describe the specific situation of the plane where it is located.
Suldak guessed that the red dragon Yisel must be in another dimension, and the relief stone wall in the red dragon's treasure is a teleportation door that the red dragon can travel through at will, and it seems that only the red dragon can
Shuttle freely.
Suldak tried it, but to him, the relief stone wall was still cold and hard, just a stone wall.
One night passed in the blink of an eye for Suldak and Israel.
However, Surdak had just arrived in Dodan Town, and the situation there had not yet fully opened up. In particular, he was worried that Mayor Marko had fled in fear of crime last night, so he said goodbye to Israel early and left the Red Dragon Secret Room.
At the sulfur mine, the kobold slaves have all gone to the upper reaches of the lava river to mine sulfur, and continue to provide sulfur to the firearms workshop in Constantinople.
This time when I came to the sulfur mine, I happened to meet Luke.
Wol village has started spring plowing during the dry season with sufficient water in the reservoir.
The gangsters on the other side of the desert have not returned to the deserted land in recent times. Luke and the kobold slave road construction team have laid volcanic ash cement roads to the southern cliff of the Grand Canyon and built roads at many intersections.
Some sentry posts.
Charlie’s construction team also received orders from the nobles in Helensa City and took a group of bricklayers to build villas on the outskirts of Helensa City.
However, due to the population surge in Wall Village, the old village chief, Uncle Bright, is expanding according to Suldak's plan. In addition to the townhouses in the village, two rows of row houses have also been built at the entrance of the village.
A market was circled at the entrance of the village.
The village is developing very fast, and with a population exceeding a thousand people, it seems more like a small town in a deserted land.
…
Hurrying back to Dodan Town, Surdak walked out of the small building.
There was a noise in the yard of the military camp. Nearly twenty four-wheel trucks were parked in the yard. The cavalry were unloading the supplies in the cargo compartments. The boxes of supplies seemed extremely heavy. In addition to some military supplies, there were also
There are full bags of wheat flour and marching rations.
There is no special secretary in the cavalry battalion. Selina is wearing a cashmere dress, holding a parchment account book in her hand, and is following a quartermaster to count supplies.
"Ah! You're back! So many supplies suddenly arrived this morning. Andrew said you were out and asked me to count these supplies. This quartermaster who came from Wilkes City is the head of the transportation team."
Selena said to Suldak who was standing at the door of the small building.
She put on a little lipstick, and she was as charming as a red rose that had just bloomed.
The quartermaster, dressed in military uniform, saluted Suldak solemnly and said:
“Handel, the clerk in the Wilkes Logistics and Munitions Office, met the Baron.”
Suldak came down from the steps and said:
“I am Suldak, the commander of the Lutheran Legion Independent Cavalry Battalion, Handel, can you briefly introduce these supplies to me.”
Handel nodded, walked in front, pointed to a four-wheel truck closest to the small building and said:
"Commander Surdak, there are only seventy boxes of heavy crossbow arrows and thirty boxes of fire scale bombs in this batch of supplies. In addition, there are two hundred boxes of fine steel arrow clusters in these two trucks. This truck contains five
A hundred-armor standard five-shot military crossbow...ten boxes of armor pieces."
Twenty four-wheeled wagons were almost filled with war supplies, and even if all the cavalrymen of the Surdak Cavalry Battalion were transferred to the city wall, these supplies would not be used up.
“Why are there so many supplies this time?” Suldak asked Handel.
Handel said: "Of course, in order to cope with the coming beast tide, Deputy Commander Chester is mobilizing some troops from other towns to reinforce the five pass towns that will bear the brunt of the beast tide, and Duodan Town is one of them.
, and these supplies are only the first batch, and more supplies will be delivered in the future."
“In the next period of time, nearly a thousand heavy armored infantry and two hundred archers will arrive in Duodan Town one after another. Your place will become even more lively than it is now.”
Suldak saw the messy supplies piled up in the whole yard. Selena couldn't handle it by herself, so he asked her:
“Where’s Andrew?”
Selena stopped the charcoal in her hand and replied:
“He went to the city defense brigade, where supplies were also delivered.”
Suldak tapped his forehead, thinking that Mayor Marco was rushing to clear out the supplies from the city defense brigade warehouse yesterday. It seemed that he knew that these supplies were about to arrive.
If the people from the trading company's armed group hadn't stopped those trucks yesterday and asked Mayor Marco to transport the supplies, he wouldn't have known about it.
So once the supplies shipped from Wilkes City today are sent to the warehouse of the city defense brigade, the accounts in the city defense brigade's warehouse will really be ruined.
“Isn’t Duodan Town responsible for the daily expenses and reserve supplies of the city defense brigade?”
Suldak asked Quartermaster Handel.
Quartermaster Handel patted the wooden box hard, rearranged the gaps exposed by the tarpaulin on the wooden box, and then said:
“This is generally the case, but there is a tide of beasts in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest that only occurs once in ten years. Dodan Town’s accumulated strength alone cannot resist those warcraft.”
He looked at Suldak with comforting eyes and said:
“So during the time when the beast tide breaks out, supplies will be continuously shipped from Wilkes City, so you don’t need to worry about this.”
Quartermaster Handel felt that the topic should be changed, so he asked Suldak:
"By the way, how about the material reserves in Duodan Town? I think after ten years of accumulation, a large amount of materials should be saved."
Suldak rubbed his nose and said somewhat depressedly:
“In fact, the material storage situation in Duodan Town is not optimistic.”
Quartermaster Handel flipped through the notebook in his hand and said:
“The mayor of Dodan Town should be Baron Marco. He has been in charge of Dodan Town for about fifteen years. I believe he must be very experienced in this beast tide.”
"When we go to the city defense brigade and take a look, you will probably know that the war reserves here are actually a bit poor." Surdak said this, and then turned to Selina and asked: "Samira is back.
No?".
Selena didn’t even raise her head. She counted the amount of supplies and said, “Not yet.”
Suldak told the cavalry squadron leader who was moving boxes with his men: "Offlandt, you are responsible for today's patrol mission. Before setting off, call Gulitem and pay attention to safety."
The squadron leader quickly agreed:
“Yes, sir.”
The military camp was a bit noisy, with supplies piled everywhere.
Captain Offlandt led a group of cavalry and ogres, led the horses and left the military camp, heading towards the gate of the northern city wall.
…
In front of the warehouse gate of the city defense brigade, quartermaster Handel and his deputy looked at the empty warehouse solemnly and said to Suldak:
“The situation here is really more serious than imagined. I will truthfully report the situation here to the governor of Wilkes City and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.”
Seeing Suldak standing in front of the warehouse without saying a word, quartermaster Handel also knew that the cavalry battalion commander of the Luther Legion would not bear any responsibility because he had just changed defenses to Dodan Town.
Quartermaster Handel expressed relief and said:
"But don't worry. Our Logistics and Military Supplies Department has prepared a large amount of supplies in Wilkes City and will continue to send them over in the coming period. The geographical location of Dodan Town is too important. Dodan
Although the canyon is only a short dozen kilometers long, it is one of the five passes in the Sorobul Mountains."
“In order to ensure that the town of Dodan will not fall, reinforcements will be brought in. This time we will have to rely on the main force of the Luther Legion to resist the tide of monsters in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest.”
Suldak shook his head and said:
"A rebellion broke out in the Tarapagan area of Bena Province. The Marquis led the main force of the Swordsman Regiment to stabilize the situation in the Tarapagan area. Until the situation there is stabilized, there will be no more reinforcements.
"
Quartermaster Handel said:
“Deputy Commander Chester will dispatch some troops from other towns in the Bailin plane for reinforcements.”
Suldak said to Andrew: "Let's go to the top of the city wall and have a look."
Suldak, Andrew, and Handel climbed up the city wall along the long zigzag steps. Two squadrons and about 120 city defense guards on the north wall of nearly 400 meters.
The guards' armors and weapons were still complete, and the nooses on the rolling stone wooden frame on the city head were still coated with a layer of anti-rust grease.
A row of bed crossbows on the city wall are covered with tarpaulins, and these bed crossbows are fixed on the bosses of the city wall.
Suldak tore open the tarpaulin and saw that although the bed crossbow inside was a bit old, it was still relatively intact.
This kind of bed crossbow has a free rotation angle of about 60 degrees, a pitch angle of about 30 degrees, the range of the giant crossbow is about 800 meters, and the radiation area is in the canyon area between 500 and 800 meters.
Once the beast tide rushes through this area, it will be out of the range of the bed crossbow and enter the area covered by the longbow archer's projectile arrows.
Quartermaster Handel breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the armaments on the city wall were very complete.
Suldak opened the safety bolt of the winch on the bed crossbow and ordered Andrew behind him: "Routine maintenance will be carried out on these bed crossbows on the city wall recently."
He then asked the two squadron captains of the city defense team who were on duty on the city wall: "Who in your guard team is usually responsible for maintaining these bed crossbows?"
"The commander is reported to be Latu, the captain of the seventh squadron." One of the squadron leaders replied: "He is over there, Latu, come over here..."
The squadron leader waved to a city defense guard who was leaning against the wall and looking outside.
A young aborigine with strong skills, wearing a set of light armor, made a "squeaking" friction sound when he ran. However, the young man didn't care. He ran like a tireless donkey. After a few steps,
Go to the squadron leader.
“Are you Latu?” Surdak looked at the young aborigine and asked him.
Surdak saw Latu's broad forehead and slender eyes, and immediately remembered that this young man was beside Aung San in the town square, and their faces were very similar, and they were preparing to be tortured together.
Now he looks very energetic.
“Yes, Commander!” Latu gave Surdak a less than standard military salute.
Suldak asked Latu: "I heard that you have been doing maintenance on these bed crossbows?"
Latu also said cheerfully: "When we entered the city defense army, our captain was the craftsman who was responsible for maintaining the crossbows on the north city wall. He taught me this craft before he retired."
Suldak walked over, patted Latu on the shoulder, and asked him: "I want you to ensure that these bed crossbows can be used normally when the beast tide comes. Can you do it?"
Latu stood up straight and answered very confidently: "Even though they are a bit old, they can still be used as long as they are equipped with bow strings!"
Looking at the green grass on the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain outside the north city wall, Suldak felt a little more relaxed. He held his hands on the wall stacks of the city wall and looked through the Dodan Canyon, looking at Invercar in the distance.
Gil monster forest.
…
Jeremy, the warehouse manager of the city defense brigade, was sweating profusely and running back and forth between the two warehouses.
Ten four-wheel trucks unloaded two warehouses of supplies. After loading these supplies into the warehouse, the supply warehouse of the city defense brigade finally became more beautiful. Captain Hans did not show up from last night to noon today, so Jerry
Mi Xin felt a little uneasy.
Mayor Marco and Captain Hans have gradually emptied the warehouses of the city defense brigade in recent years. When they were there, Jeremy didn’t think there would be any problems. The entire town of Dodan was not Marco
Does the mayor have the final say? These supplies were also purchased with funds allocated by the town.
As long as Captain Hans doesn't raise any doubts, it actually doesn't matter whether there are these materials in the warehouse.
The commander of the Langdon Legion Cavalry Battalion never asked about the city defense brigade.
He felt that this matter was not that serious. At most, the town could replenish the military supplies in time. What else could go wrong?
Yesterday, the armed team of the trading company actually stopped the four-wheeled carriage filled with military supplies. Mayor Marco was unable to scare away the mercenaries. Captain Hans finally left the city defense team in embarrassment. This made the warehouse manager Jie
Rimi felt a little panicked.
He was holding a parchment book and carefully recording the supplies in the warehouse when he saw the town clerk running in from outside panting. He and this clerk happened to be neighbors, and the two of them often got together.
Drinking, but he rarely comes to the city defense brigade.
The clerk saw Jeremy, the warehouse manager, running over with his hands on his waist and panting heavily, and asked him: "Brother Jeremy, is Commander Surdak here?"
Jeremy pointed to the north city wall and said to the clerk: "On the city wall. Earp, what do you want to see the commander for?"
The clerk wiped the sweat from his face and said to Jeremy: "I have an emergency to report to the Commander. Mayor Marco secretly left Dodan Town with his whole family last night!"
The warehouse manager Jeremy's hand shook slightly, and the sheepskin account book slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a 'clack'.
