It has been more than half a month since Lan Ling left the Yanmo Tribe.
Lan Ling previously asserted that no one would join the Near Humans within the next half month. But he was wrong. After the news came out that the Silver Alliance was gathering an army to annihilate the Fire Demon Tribe, people continued to join.
There are more than 500 people every day!
Therefore, half a month after Lanling left the tribe, the entire tribe's population exceeded 50,000, and it had become a medium-sized tribe in the entire southern wilderness.
Nowadays, in addition to a large amount of manpower devoted to calcining lime and building giant trebuchets and giant crossbows, the entire tribe's remaining manpower is almost entirely used on this seven-mile city wall.
Every day, more than 30,000 people are building the city wall.
Both Lan Ling and Suo Mo felt that it was absolutely impossible to complete the city wall within a month. After all, a month ago, the city wall was just an earthen wall, and the stone strips outside had hardly begun to be laid.
According to normal estimates, it will take at least more than three months to complete the construction of the entire city wall.
However, what I didn't expect was that the city wall would progress so quickly!
Thirty thousand people built the seven-mile-long city wall, one-third of whom were responsible for digging and repairing stones, one-third who were responsible for transporting them, and one-third who were responsible for repairing them.
More than 10,000 people work on the seven-mile-long city wall construction site every day.
There is no concept of work and rest time at all. Eating and sleeping are all right next to the city wall.
When the meal came, my hands were full of dirt. I picked up a wooden spoon and wolfed it down, eating the dust and sand into my stomach. I felt so sleepy that I couldn't bear it anymore, so I just went to sleep on the ground nearby, and continued after I woke up.
Work hard.
Day and night, working like crazy.
Ten thousand people were divided into one hundred groups, and each group of one hundred people was responsible for the 35-meter city wall.
This is a huge amount of work. After all, the city wall is more than ten meters high and six to seven meters wide!
The original earthen wall is more than four meters thick and nine meters high. In other words, stone strips need to be used to make the original wall thicker by more than two meters and heightened by more than one meter.
Although no one took the initiative to say it, everyone set a goal in their hearts and must complete the task before the war came.
In other words, one hundred people have to achieve the goal of 1.2 meters every day.
Now, half a month has passed.
Among the hundred groups, the group with the lowest progress has completed 20 meters, and the group with the highest progress has completed 25 meters!
All tasks were exceeded!
If this continues, this seven-mile-long city wall will definitely be built before the war comes!
This construction speed is absolutely amazing, even faster than Lanling's construction of the Fenglei Fort defense line in Tianshui City. The Fenglei Fort defense line is only four or five miles long, but it took a hundred thousand people to build it and took several months.
Lanling spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
The construction of this seven-mile-long Yanmo tribe city wall took no more than three or four months from beginning to end, and the gold coins were not spent at all, and they only provided food and clothing.
This is the result of fighting for your homeland.
In the human kingdom, Lan Ling has always used money to pave the way! In the end, he did not gain much loyalty, even the people in the Tianshui City territory had a mixture of love and hate for him.
But in the southern wilderness, Lanling didn't spend a single gold coin on his own people, but gained countless support and loyalty.
…
To prepare for the coming war!
In addition to the city wall, the Balrog tribe has several secret weapons.
One is a large trebuchet!
More than eight thousand people participated in the construction of trebuchets and giant crossbows, and almost all the surrounding forests were cut down.
It has been more than three or four months since the construction of the giant trebuchet began, but it only took half a month to mobilize seven to eight thousand people to participate in the construction.
Now, the entire Rock Demon tribe has built more than fifty trebuchets, large and small.
Giant crossbows, more than a hundred!
There are more than hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows of various types.
What weapon does a trebuchet throw?
First, fish oil!
The Balrog tribe doesn't have other things, but fish is really available as much as they want. More than 3,000 women participate in cooking fish oil every day.
Moreover, although the fish meat is not as fragrant after adding fish oil, it can still fill the stomach.
In this half month, one hundred thousand kilograms of fish oil has been boiled, and more than one million kilograms of fish have been used. In this half month, the brothers of the Yanmo tribe do not need to eat anything but fish. Each person
Eat two or three pounds a day.
When the war begins, the entire Balrog tribe will have more than 250,000 kilograms of fish oil, which can be used to make more than 10,000 fish oil bombs.
The second weapon is quicklime!
Lanling discovered more than one limestone mine around the tribe and began to calcine lime very early.
Lime is very useful, it can be used for disinfection, building walls, and pouring roads.
Nowadays, the roads in the entire Yanma tribe are made of lime mixed with sand and gravel. Although they are not as smooth as cement, they are much better than dirt roads.
Lime also has a huge use, which is to destroy the enemy's eyes. Quicklime reacts when it comes into contact with water, and the instantaneous high temperature almost boils the water. Once the quicklime powder enters the eyes, there is no way to restore the power without washing them with oil, and it will burn.
The pain is unbearable, and there is a possibility of even being burned blind.
In order to prepare for the upcoming war, the Balrog tribe has prepared tens of thousands of lime bombs.
The third weapon is the most ordinary boulder, which is lackluster.
Whether it is a trebuchet or a giant crossbow, Lan Ling designed it himself.
There are also fish oil bombs and lime bombs, which were also ordered by Lan Ling himself.
Once the war starts, what will be the effect? No one knows, but Suo Mo has experimented with the attack effect more than once, and it is very shocking, especially the fish oil bomb!
Originally, no one had any confidence in the upcoming battle, and they were just thinking that they would die.
But with the construction of the seven-mile city wall, the construction of large trebuchets, giant crossbows, and the formation of various secret weapons, everyone feels that their confidence is growing!
…
According to Lan Ling and Suo Mo's estimates, there should be more than 200 gryphon knights among the hundreds of thousands of Silver Alliance troops.
Two hundred gryphon knights attacking from the air would cause huge trouble, especially a huge blow to morale.
At that time in Tianshui City, Lanling used griffon air strike tactics to demoralize the mighty army.
Of course, there are now twenty griffins in the Rock Demon Tribe, but if Lan Ling is there, it will be no problem to face two hundred griffon knights. But if Lan Ling is not here, then these twenty precious lions
The eagle cannot rise to the throne and sacrifice itself in vain.
For this reason, Lanling's plan was to build a high platform!
Because the Griffin Knight's attack has a height limit, once it exceeds four hundred meters, the attack will have no accuracy at all.
The Rock Demon Tribe is built on the mountain. They can completely use the original height of the mountain to build a high platform and then place a giant crossbow on it.
Therefore, according to Lan Ling and Suo Mo's design, more than twenty high platforms were built at various locations throughout the Rock Demon Tribe, and three giant crossbows were placed on each high platform.
Each giant crossbow can move freely and can shoot more than ten arrows at a time.
Without being able to reach the defense, it should be able to cause huge damage to the enemy's air regiment, at least to prevent them from arrogantly entering and exiting air strikes.
…
Time keeps passing!
It has been more than twenty days since Lan Ling left the Yanmo Tribe.
More than twenty-five days.
On this day, the seven-mile-long city wall has been completely completed!
There is no doubt that this is a great day and a great miracle!
However, there was no time for any celebration. The thirty thousand people just breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to strengthen the city wall and continue to improve the fortifications of the city wall.
Moreover, the giant trebuchet does not need to be transported to the city wall, because it has a parabolic attack trajectory. But the giant crossbow attacks in a straight line, so it is necessary to move them all to the city wall and shoot from a high position!
twenty-six days,
Twenty-seven days!
This day!
A young griffon knight flew over the Balrog tribe and hung a hundred meters above the city gate.
Looking at the dusty Balrog tribe and the ant-like crowd, everyone looked disgraced. The young griffon knight's face was full of arrogance and disdain.
"Despicable Fire Demon Tribe, the deadline has come, give us your answer!" the young griffon knight said: "Hand over Lanling's head, otherwise in three days, the entire Fire Demon Tribe, leaving no chickens or dogs behind, will be killed.
Kill!"
There were more than 50,000 people in the Rock Demon Tribe, all working hard. After hearing the young knight's words, they just looked up and then continued to work hard to strengthen the defenses.
"Hand over Lan Ling's head, otherwise in three days, the entire Yanmo tribe will be slaughtered without any trace of chicken or dog left alive!"
The young griffin knight shouted again.
"Du Yan, kill him!" Suo Mo said.
"Yes!" Du Yan said.
Then, he suddenly bent his bow and set an arrow!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." Ten consecutive arrows!
Although Du Yan's archery skills were far inferior to Lan Ling's, he could still shoot ten consecutive beads with gritted teeth.
And such a close distance.
The fate of this young knight can be imagined.
He tried his best to avoid it and cursed angrily.
"Despicable near-human race, how dare you..."
Then, the words were not finished yet.
"Puff puff puff puff..." Five arrows hit his chest and throat!
With a scream, the young Silver Alliance Griffin Knight fell from the sky and died tragically!
And the one under him turned out to be a golden-haired griffon, which showed that his identity was not simple.
When this golden-haired griffon saw its owner being shot, it turned around and ran away.
Du Yan shot five more arrows in succession!
With a scream, the golden-haired gryphon stumbled and fell with its wings injured.
Then, dozens of people from the Rock Demon Tribe rushed over like crazy, eager to catch the golden-haired gryphon, lest it be hurt too badly.
Every griffon is a treasure, not to mention the golden-haired griffon!
In this way, a griffon knight sent by the Silver Alliance to show off his power was shot to death, and a golden-haired gryphon was captured by the Rock Demon Tribe.
…
Day 28!
"Kill, kill, kill..."
The leader of the Silver Alliance and the chief of the Silver Tribe was furious, waving his giant sword and smashing everything around him.
He was furious!
Because it was his son, the youngest son he loved most, who was shot dead by the Flame Demon Tribe.
Yesterday, King Rakshasa's consort Naishu asked who was willing to go to the Flame Demon Tribe to ask for Lan Ling's head. Everyone felt that this was a good opportunity to show off their power.
Everyone felt that the Fire Demon Tribe was so frightened that they wished they could squat on the ground and cry every day, unable to resist.
Therefore, the youngest son of the leader of the Silver Alliance volunteered, and after receiving Noshu's approval, he rode his beloved golden-haired gryphon and flew towards the Balrog tribe, even leaving the cavalry who protected him far behind.
However, no one expected that the Flame Demon Tribe would react so violently.
Not only did they not hand over Lan Ling's head, but they shot and killed the envoy! This envoy was also the son of the leader of the Silver Alliance.
This is his most beloved son!
The leader of the Silver Alliance was heartbroken. He gave birth to three sons and five daughters.
Now, all five daughters have been slept with by Naishu. The three married daughters and the two unmarried virgins are all slept with without exception.
Among the three sons, his youngest son is the most precious to him, and he is completely his heart and soul.
Now, he was actually killed by the damned Flame Demon Tribe!
The two countries are at war, yet they do not kill the envoys.
The Fire Demon Tribe did this to cut off their escape route.
Yes, this is what Suo Mo meant. Although no one in the Yanma tribe showed signs of surrender at this time, this possibility must be nipped in the bud.
This griffon knight who came to show off his power was the son of the leader of the Silver Alliance, and Suo Mo knew him.
Killing him will directly cut off any escape route for the Fire Demon Tribe, and no one will want to surrender!
Of course, doing so is also an unprecedented provocation to the entire Silver Alliance and even the entire Rakshasa clan!
"Kill, kill, kill all the Flame Demon Tribe, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!" the leader of the Silver Alliance shouted loudly!
Constantine had been waiting for this day for a long time, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Kill the Balrog tribe to an end, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"
Alfonso, and all the remaining chiefs, all shouted!
The sound spread outside!
On the plain outside the city wall of the Silver Tribe, an army of 120,000 people was assembled in overwhelming darkness!
120,000 barbarian troops!
The entire Silver Alliance came out in force!
Thirty thousand cavalry, ninety thousand infantry, and three hundred gryphon knights!
The twelve tribes of the Silver Alliance have no reservations and have almost exhausted their last soldiers.
Naishu warned the surrounding tribal forces that if anyone dared to invade while the Silver Alliance was empty, he promised to exterminate their tribe and kill them all!
The heir to the Black Demon Banner, King Rakshasa's consort Naishu, rode the royal griffon and flew out from the castle on the top of the Silver Alliance Mountain.
Hovering in the sky above this 120,000-strong army.
The 120,000 barbarian army is overwhelming, making it difficult for birds to cross!
"Kill all the Fire Demon tribe, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!" Naishu shouted coldly.
The 120,000 barbarian troops shouted in unison: "Kill all the Fire Demon tribe, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"
"Kill all the Fire Demon Tribe, burn them all, rob them all, and rape them all!"
The 120,000 barbarian army was boiling with blood and roaring loudly.
"Kill all the Balrog tribe, burn them all, rob them all, and rape them all!"
Naishu couldn't help but be a little excited at this time. Although he had a noble status, this was the first time he had actually commanded a war involving an army of 100,000 people!
"Go!"
Give an order!
The 120,000 troops of the Silver Alliance are marching towards the Flame Demon Tribe in a mighty manner!
Three hundred gryphon knights line up in the sky!
The battle to determine the life and death of the Flame Demon Tribe has officially begun!
