Boru stood on the corridor outside the room, looking down at the beautiful city that was dyed cold and glorious by the morning sun. The trees swayed slightly in the morning breeze, the birds soared freely in the sunshine, and the animals were leisurely on the streets. When I think of it
He couldn't help but feel a little emotional about the impact he was about to face.
As the saying goes, tragedy is the destruction of beautiful things. Let me show you. It would be a pity if such a beautiful garden city was destroyed. If it does not cost too much, Polu is not stingy in the process of saving this beautiful city.
Make some effort.
"What are you looking at?" Ella's voice came along with the chaotic footsteps.
Bolu turned around: "Look at this forest that has not been ravaged by the war."
"I always thought that human beings can't feel the beauty of nature very much." Ella walked straight into the room without waiting for his answer: "Come on, if it doesn't take too much time, we can go to the parliament to have another argument today.
"
"Do the elves' councils also quarrel? Shouldn't your council have an atmosphere where everyone sits down to drink tea until the end of the work and then decide to discuss it tomorrow." Bolu also turned around and walked inside.
"You've probably never seen elves before, right? What kind of weird stereotypes are you talking about? But they were really like this when there was nothing going on before, procrastinating like crazy. Anyway, we have a lot of tomorrows."
Several people filed in. Leah and Leonardo, who had already arrived in advance, were gathering around the dining table that Polu had temporarily used as a workbench. After saying hello to each other, they were attracted by the model placed on the table.
.
"What is this?" Ella asked Polu who followed him back to the room.
"Urban fortifications, aren't you what you asked for?" Polu felt his heart tightening. It was broken. Could it be that he had read the question wrong?
"Have you made a model of the entire city? It feels different from the current layout." Ella walked around the model. "What do these triangles mean? Where are these small squares?"
Polu conveniently took down a small painted wooden board: "The triangle is the fire projection area, and the small squares are the troop configuration. The green ones are your bows and arrows, the blue ones are shotguns, and the red ones are artillery."
Bolu glanced around: "Everyone is here, how about I just start talking?"
"First of all, the current local area of the city is very unfavorable for the rangers who make up the majority of the elf forces to display their shooting skills. It will cause you to fall into a physical battle on your own. This is to use your shortcomings to compete with the enemy's strengths.
Right?"
Everyone nodded.
"Then my idea is to try to extend the time the enemy is exposed to your firepower and try to avoid melee combat. So we need to rearrange the city. Yesterday Edith told me that all the trees in the city can move. Although
I don’t quite understand how to move, but it doesn’t affect me from making such a plan. By the way, Edith, with the average strength of the elves, how fast can they shoot?”
"It depends on the distance and how much force you need to use."
Bolu clicked on the two protruding corners at the most forward position: "From here to here, the farthest point is only 200 meters. It can shoot through the insect beast."
"Then you need to strengthen your shooting. You can shoot 7 to 10 times in a minute. No matter how fast you go, it will be easy to exhaust. If you use a quick burst of skills, 30 arrows in 30 seconds, you can just empty the quiver, but then you will be exhausted.
There will be a period of weakness, and it should take an average of 30 minutes to recover. You can only replace someone."
"It's okay, let's change people. Next is the shape of the outer trees. The outline of the trees is filled with earth barriers to prevent them from entering the forest and force the insects and beasts to attack directly along this road. At this time, the trees are
The rangers on top can also attack along the way. By the way, the insect beast can't get up the tree, right? That's fine if it doesn't work." Bolu gestured at the positions where he would shoot downwards from the trees on both sides.
"Then we took the natural temple in the center of the city as the core, backed by this protruding cliff, and started building an earthen rampart at this location. Why is it polygonal? You will know later."
"When this earth fort is built, gather all the artillery here. We will first build it with three layers of earth on each side. Yes, the prismatic tip is the key. After the construction is completed, we will build on the three layers of earth fort.
For the artillery base, this is much easier. Fire on three levels alternately."
"The key comes next!" Bolu put the fire sector indicator in his hand into position. "Do you see anything?"
"Cross?" Ella didn't understand. Edith paused before answering: "There are no blind spots?"
"Yes! There are no dead ends! This, here, is a solid earth embankment. The slope is best so that the insect beasts can slowly climb up, but cannot jump up directly. When they crawl on this earth embankment, these two
A gun position." Polu pointed at the two gun positions on the flanks.
"Use shotguns to shoot from here and cover the whole area with one shot. If a trench can be dug here and a river can be introduced, the insect beasts will basically be blocked on this slope at this time."
"Our problem lies only in the speed of our attacks. As long as our attack density is high enough, we can destroy them on this road!"
"So, it is almost unrealistic under this system to rely solely on the numbers of wolf beasts to break through the earth barrier." Ella seemed to understand, and she concluded.
"Yes, there is another advantage of this fortress. The outer earth barriers are all solid. If there are large ones rushing up, they are not afraid of collision and cannot collapse. The rest depends on how you catch the eroded ones.
of Warcraft."
"As long as these three layers of forts can be protected, quantity will not be a problem."
Ella simulated it in her mind for a while, then raised her head. "I think it's feasible. Since the insect beasts can't rush in directly, the mages can go into battle with peace of mind. Several of our archmages have just teleported back from Star Island. It's a pity.
There is still no way for more high-level people to come back."
At this time, Polu asked the question he was most concerned about: "Speaking of this defense, are you just going to do it like this?" If it was just a passive defense, then Polu was going to withdraw after collecting the balance. The beating was not his.
If you are interested, you might as well go back and make more guys and wait for the elves to come and buy them.
"What's the meaning?"
"How to rescue the siege?"
"Relief? No need. Insect beasts have no concept of supply. If they can't eat, they will soon start to eat each other, and the number will begin to decrease sharply. We have verified it many times."
You look like you don't even know this?
Damn it! New information? They now have the I-Eat-Myself function? Bolu was shocked.
"But when they reach this point, they will start to change, getting bigger and stronger, and the remaining ones will be the most ruthless. In the end, it will become a competition between high-level and above combat powers. If we are determined to escape, we
I can’t keep it. It’s happened several times.”
Damn it! Did you raise a gu? And you learned how to escape? Your intelligence has evolved!
He composed himself: "What if, I mean just in case, something comes from the other side that these defenses can't catch, what will you do?"
"What can we do? Of course we need to find someone to stop him, and then call someone quickly. There are also legends in the temple."
"So there is a legend? Then we can join in the excitement." Polu thought in his heart, and when he finished thinking, he seemed to have discovered something.
"???Wait a minute, why do you look so worried when you have a legend?"
"No comment!" Ella rolled her eyes at him.
What is going on? Polu was a little confused. However, Leah pulled Polu's sleeve beside him and shook his head. Although he didn't quite understand, it was better to shut up.
"Polu, I'm going to the parliament now. Come with your model and explain it to the people in the parliament in person." Ella said sincerely.
"That's not necessary. It's better if I don't show up. You get advice from me and go to the parliament, but you just hire a human consultant. If there is any problem, it is still a problem between elves. If I go to the parliament, maybe some people...
…Some elves will think that this is a contact between the two races of humans and elves. It will cause unnecessary trouble. It is really unnecessary.”
If you think about it, you will realize how boring the parliamentary drama is that can be delayed for so long at such a critical moment.
The congressman who opposes without thinking is the second most boring member in history, while the congressman who desperately supports it is the most boring member in history.
You don't even know if they're trying to have some fun because they're so boring, it's not obvious from the outside.
Of course, Bolu chose to refuse such a boring way of wasting time!
"Okay, let's go by ourselves." Ella looked at Edith: "Have you remembered it?"
"Okay, I basically understand it. By the way, what is the name of your fortress?"
"Crown Bastion."
"It really looks like a crown."
Ella waved her hand and put away the model: "Then let's go have an argument. See you later! We'll contact you after we win the argument!"
Bolu waved his hands: "Goodbye."
When they disappeared on the hanging ladder, Bolu turned to Leah and asked: "What happened to their legend just now?"
Leah also rolled her eyes greatly: "You are asking for information about a country's top combat legend. If we hadn't been on good terms, she would have rejected you like this. Otherwise, you would have been imprisoned by now."
Into the prison of the elves."
Bolu thought for a moment: "Top combat power? Big mushroom? I just asked about the big mushroom? If you don't lock it up for me, it means that we have a very good relationship!"
Leah continued to ask him: "Can your defense mode be used in the defense of the royal capital? Can it be used in Hongshan?"
"It didn't work before, but it can now."
"Why?"
"The defense of this kind of fortress must be supported by long-range projection. It is impossible to play without artillery. I can bring it out here because the elves not only have artillery, but their rangers are also very powerful, shooting far and hard. We stay
Let's come down and take a look. What I've been talking about so far is all theory and calculation. I'm a little confused as to whether it will work in practice. After all, we're not dealing with humans. We will build the defense system of Hongshan after we gain experience. As for the defense of the royal capital
, we shouldn’t be able to control it, right?”
As Bolu said that, he reached for the water glass on the table, but after touching it a few times, it was all empty. He looked down and found that when Ella put away the model, she also put away the table below! He rushed up quickly
The corridor shouted to the tree, "Hey! Ella! Wait! Give me my table back! At least leave the water glass!"
