Leonard's meeting was still going on, and while Leon was discussing the next phase of the plan in the newly acquired city of Hemar, Mathias had already arrived at the pre-selected location for the observation eye.
"Well, it's not bad here, the height is good, and you can just see the Sidon Fortress. Although you can only see part of it, it's enough for the time being. Then we can just place one on the mountain over there."
Rubbing his chin and muttering a few words, Mathias began to take out various tools and materials from his backpack.
"First, shape!" Mathias recited a spell to the boulder in front of him, then closed his eyes and placed his right hand on the boulder. The boulder began to tremble violently, and the layers of skin fell off, finally forming a
Trapezoidal base.
Mathias opened his eyes, and a faint blue magic light flashed, and then he gasped slightly, but he was much better than when he first arrived in this world. Although he didn't know why, Mathias could clearly
He feels that the concentration of magic power in this world is slowly increasing, and it is not that difficult for him to cast spells now.
"Then, the next step is to engrave!" Mathias took out a sharp carving knife and began to spin it around the stone base, carving complex runes and careful magic circles on the base.
"Huh, all that's left is installation and activation!" He wiped the sweat from his forehead. Engraving so many runes that require details is a laborious task. Fortunately, Mathias is not as weak as most mages.
This is also the reason why mages need skilled assistants most of the time. A skilled assistant can definitely help mages solve many problems.
After taking a rest, Mathias began the final work. He took out a special crystal ball the size of a human head, placed it in the semicircular groove left on the base, and then placed the used crystal ball in the grooves on the four sides of the base.
Use the magic gem to act as a battery, and finally input a burst of magic power to activate the magic circle.
"Done!" Matthias took a few steps back and watched as the crystal ball gradually emitted light, then formed a beam of light that rushed upward, and then formed a huge transparent vertical pupil about two hundred meters high.
This transparent vertical pupil was improved by Matthias. After all, the original golden huge eyeball is too conspicuous and can be seen from a long distance. Although this transparent one can be seen nearby, it is not visible from a distance.
, is invisible. Up close, you can only see some distortions and fluctuations in the air, just like the air distorted by heat waves on the road.
After arranging some magic traps on the ground near the Observation Eye, Matthias left with the black warriors who were standing silently. He wanted to go around from behind to the forest on the other side.
Let's look for a place to place it. After all, Ronan's request is to be able to fully monitor the Sidon Fortress.
Three days later, Ronan stood in Fengming's newly built large military camp and inspected the training of the soldiers, mainly training the new recruits. In the morning, the Nord soldiers acted as veteran instructors and taught some basic combat skills one-on-one.
and martial arts, and then they will conduct physical training for half an hour.
After the physical training, it was lunch. Ronan was not stingy in this regard. In order to make them stronger faster, they basically had meat for every meal, and there were also specially prepared nutritious meals. Except for the lack of wine, the rest were just for civilians.
In the past, soldiers might only have a chance to eat once a month.
This new regiment, which has been expanded to 3,000 men, can eat a hundred pigs and countless rice and noodles every day. If it were not for the previous plundering of the southern nobles and a large amount of wealth, the Fernando Territory would still be a large grain-producing collar, and the Southern Alliance would
If Ronan was also provided with a large amount of food, Ronan might not be able to support him.
After an hour's lunch break, in the afternoon it was time for the archery lessons of the Vecian marksmen, and some of the soldiers were the crossbowmen specially selected by Ronan. The thousands of powerful crossbows he had prepared in the Hinterlands were now also time
It came in handy.
After the archery class is the formation class. Skillful application of various formations is also a great weapon for victory on the battlefield. The tortoise formation is used to defend against arrows, the hedgehog formation is used to defend against cavalry, and various conical formations are used to charge.
A kind of.
There is a drill every three days. A group of 300 people is divided into ten groups, and two groups practice. The winning team will receive extra meals and be allowed to drink some wine.
Ronan also put a lot of thought into the walls of Eagle Cave City and Fengming City, which were most likely to be attacked. The bed crossbows and pendulums used to deal with enemy siege equipment were built under the personal supervision of Bornhard.
Got up.
Two days later, on this sunny morning, an uninvited guest was welcomed outside the Sidon Fortress. The army of the great prince Leon had arrived outside the Sidon Fortress.
Sidon Fortress is just a city wall built in the valley between two mountains. Because the mountains on both sides stretch for a long time and are extremely tall and steep, the army cannot cross the mountains at all. Therefore, before the founding of Gaoling, the people who were still at war were
In the 1960s, the lords who ruled this area built a city wall made entirely of black rock that was fourteen meters high, eight meters thick, but less than fifty meters long.
Behind Sidon Fortress, there was only a small stone house that was originally used for soldiers to rest. It could not accommodate Leonard's entire army, so Leonard built a temporary building here for rest.
Because Sidon Fortress usually does not need so many defenders, it is only fifty meters long, and there is no room for the army to launch an attack. The number of soldiers who can attack the city wall together is limited, so the competition is more about the endurance and endurance of both sides.
The eliteness of soldiers.
The walls of Sidon Fortress were built very interestingly. They were sloping and there was a protruding piece in the middle, which made it more difficult to attack with a ladder. Therefore, Leon, who knew this, spent several days working on it.
A batch of siege ladders, otherwise, he would have been here long ago, how could he have wasted time.
Leonard did not go up to the city wall. Hebrew and Antony were in charge of commanding the city wall. Marcelo and Tiberius were waiting behind the city gate. Once the city wall could no longer support them, they would follow the cavalry and rush out to kill a group of people.
After relieving the pressure on the city wall, they retreated.
The width also limits the numerical advantage of Leon's army. Therefore, after leaving the city to attack, you only need to spend some people to break the rear. If you are fast, you don't even need to break the rear. The gate of Sidon Fortress is a three-story lifting iron gate.
Each door is one meter thick, very heavy, and there are three of them. Each door is a little more than one meter apart, so there is no possibility that the enemy will take the opportunity to block the city gate with something.
