Chapter 95 Fine-tuning of the Castle
At the same time, a new dialog box appeared in front of Shen Mu.
From the temporary task system.
【Ding! The temporary task system detected the incident and issued a temporary task - patrolling the castle. 】
[Task name: Inspecting the Castle]
[Mission Introduction: Your castle has already stood in this world. The defense system that was born by combining the rules of riding and slashing with the rules of the spiritual world may be able to play a special role. 】
[Mission reward: Rhodok Mountain Rock Base (terrain change). 】
[Tips: This is a solid rock base from the Rhodok Mountains. It is difficult to shatter even an earthquake. It is a good site for building a castle. 】
Shen Mu had just walked out of the main building of the castle at this time. He looked at the dialog box in front of him with a look of astonishment in his eyes.
Great joy soon!
After all, he had just withdrawn from the authority to modify the magic ball map, and he knew that the biggest shortcoming of his newly built castle area was that it was not dangerous.
That’s right, it’s just not dangerous.
It is directly a castle built on flat ground. Enemies can attack from all directions, plus it is still a single city wall.
There is no way it can be linked to danger.
“Now with the addition of this rock base, the height of the castle is raised, which just forms the concept of danger!”
Shen Mu was surprised.
The requirement to complete this task is just to inspect one's own castle.
Even if there is no such task.
He, as the controller of this castle, also has to inspect the newly built castle!
I quickly came to the front hall of the castle and looked around at the flat front courtyard of the castle, which was protected by city walls. My eyes became more and more happy.
Compared with the main castle building built on the pier before, it seems to have an unobstructed view of the entire town.
But it is basically just a solitary building with not many supporting buildings.
What appears now is an entire castle defense system.
From the main building to the city wall, to the tower and lighthouse, as well as the stables, weapons depot, warehouses, grain depots, prisons and more on both sides.
Basically everything is available.
Especially looking at the castle building next to him that can no longer be called the castle main building, but a large tower to the north. A majestic castle main building appeared there.
13 meters high, the whole structure is built with thick stones, and it looks as majestic as a giant in armor.
"Lord Shen Mu."
"Lord Shen Mu."
Just as Shen Mu stood in front of the large tower in the southwest corner, looking at the castle When entering the building in the vestibule, Fatis and Bandak also walked over quickly.
The two of them still held their chests and bent down to salute extremely respectfully, fearing that Shen Mu had already said that there was no need for false courtesy.
"Yes." Shen Mu nodded, and when he saw them coming, he said: "Just in time, new castles and towns have appeared, so you can accompany me for a walk."
"Understood. This is our honor." Bandak and Fatis followed Shen Mu.
For this brand new castle and the earth-shaking changes they had just experienced, both of them felt a spiritual impact and shock at this time.
At this time, not only Bandak and Fatis, but also the Swadian sergeants, Lake Rat Gang saboteurs, and Swadian light infantry all came out with confused faces. There was a shocked look in his eyes, and there were also fanatical looks in his eyes.
Looking at Shen Mu, this legendary figure seemed to be worshiped like a god.
No, there are already many soldiers who have followed Shen Mu closely and experienced several battles. They have long regarded Shen Mu as more than just a commander, a general, and a general. Nobility is that simple.
In many cases, the impression from the mind regards Shen Mu as a god!
Shen Mu knew this very well. This was the effect of constant loyalty from the riding and slashing system.
‘Crunch——’
The main door of the castle's main building slowly opened.
Four Swadia light infantrymen came out to welcome them. After saluting respectfully and saying hello, they stood on both sides of the main entrance and lined up to greet them.
Shen Mu walked in.
The first thing that appeared was a front hall of about 100 square meters that could accommodate a party of 50 people.
There are huge stone pillars around as support, and the ground in the middle is covered with fine linen carpets, which extends to the top of the front hall. It is 1 meter high and requires more than a dozen stairs to reach the lord. Over there on the bench.
Shen Mu stepped on the fine linen carpet that felt good on his feet and turned to look to the left.
“Conference hall.” Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.
On the left, there is a space of about 300 square meters, with only a long table 20 meters long and 5 meters wide, with 20 chairs on each side.
You can know that this is where meetings are usually held or where senior generals dine.
"The right side..." Shen Mu turned to look to the right: "Sure enough, it is the kitchen, utility room, and attendant's room."
On the right is also a space of about 300 square meters, but it has been divided.
They are the kitchen responsible for the internal dining of the castle, the warehouse for storing sundries and food, and some ordnance supplies.
There is also an attendant room close to the door, about 200 square meters, with 3 doors, and dozens of double beds inside, which is specially used for the attendants and personal guards in the castle.
"Not bad." Shen Mu nodded.
He understood that the original intention of this design was to enhance security and defense capabilities.
After all, for a town, the city walls and gates may be captured, and then the defenders who have lost most of their defensive space and can only fight in a corner must be eliminated one by one.
But for a castle, losing its gates and walls means losing its outer fortifications.
The truly strongest defense is the main castle building made of stone.
Block the castle gate.
The garrison in the castle resisted fiercely and could defend for a long time, but they could not be conquered at all in a while.
Either he will be delayed until his own food is exhausted, or he will be delayed until the enemy's reinforcements arrive.
Especially Rhodok Castle, which is famous for its stronghold defense, took into account the long-term siege and strong siege. Not only did it arrange granaries and miscellaneous facilities inside the castle and the main building of the castle, Warehouse.
The attendant's room at the door is also a military camp, where elites can sleep.
Any emergency situation will be solved in time.
“Wait, there is an extra platform above this Lord’s Hall?”
When Shen Mu came to the place that was carved from a whole piece of stone and had various exquisite carvings in the Rhodok style, he glanced at the shadow from the corner of his eye and noticed something keenly.
Look up.
It was built with extra blocks of stones at the top of the 6-meter-high castle hall with a stone dome, and a circle of balconies facing only the interior.
"Huh?" Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the platform behind the lord's bench and the surrounding balconies built 6 meters above the ground, with a height of about 2 meters, with a look in his eyes. Thinking.
He understood what this circle of balconies represented.
Especially looking at this circle of 2-meter balconies, there is a 1-meter breast wall in front, and there are concave and convex wall stacks.
Shen Mu quickly crossed the lord's bench and walked along the steep slope to the back. On this approximately 50 square meter platform, he suddenly understood.
"Sure enough." Shen Mu looked at the 2-meter-high and half-meter-wide balconies on both sides, right above the castle gate, with an even bigger smile on his face.
“These balconies can shoot arrows at the enemy from all directions when they break into the city gate.”
Bandak was very familiar with this and explained to Shen Mu: “And We only need to guard these two inclined staircases so that the enemies who break into the castle hall can be blocked in the castle hall and become the target of the crossbowmen.”
"Very good." Shen Mu chuckled and nodded, admiring this ingenious design.
"The Rhodok people's city defense is indeed both strong and cunning." Even Fatis couldn't help but said something strange in a strange tone next to him.
This caused Shen Mu and Bandak to look at each other and chuckle silently.
Both of them understood the reason.
The Kingdom of Rhodok itself was a kingdom that became independent due to excessive oppression by the Kingdom of Swadia. Because of this independence, fierce battles broke out.
On the plains, the heavy cavalry of the Kingdom of Swadia ran rampant and easily defeated countless Rhodok troops.
But we came to the Rodok Mountains.
After the city defense war begins.
The Rhodok crossbowmen and infantry equipped with heavy broad shields, as well as the castle built on the steep cliff, as well as the tricky city defense design, all made the Swadians suffer a lot. .
Otherwise, according to Harlaus's bad character, it would be impossible for the Rhodok Kingdom to become independent.
As a noble of the Kingdom of Swadia, Fatis is also a knight.
Although he did not participate in those original battles.
But some of his family members have definitely participated and explained the details of these battles to him.
That’s why the castle defense system designed by the Rhodok people sounds complicated.
“Wait! There is a sound!”
But when Fatis wanted to say something more to restore the reputation of the Kingdom of Swadia and did not want to be overwhelmed by the power of the Rhodok people, his expression changed.
Immediately reached out and grasped the hilt of the knight's sword at his waist, turning his head to look at both sides of the platform.
On both sides of the 2-meter-high, depressing platform above, there were two inclined ladders leading to the top. At this time, rapid footsteps appeared inside.
Then before Shen Mu and Bandak could react, 50 skilled Rodok crossbowmen ran down quickly.
One by one, their eyes glanced at Bandak and Fatis, and then looked at Shen Mu.
A little dazed.
Soon everyone lined up on the platform holding their own crossbows.
Reported to Shen Muhui with great respect: "Dear Lord Shen Mu, we are skilled crossbowmen from the Kingdom of Rhodok, and we are willing to work with this strong castle to serve you and pay tribute!"
"Very good." Shen Mu reached out and pressed down the half-drawn knight sword that Fatis had pulled out.
With a smile on his face.
He nodded and said to the 50 Rodok skilled crossbowmen: "I accept your allegiance, and at the same time I ask you to return to your posts immediately."
"Yes!" These third-level Rodoks The skilled crossbowman immediately responded respectfully.
Then they turned around and returned to their posts with their crossbows and broad shields on their backs.
On the second and third floors of the castle, the guards continued to be on guard behind the windows that were opened on the city wall and were about the size of an adult's head.
“These are the best crossbowmen. They use war crossbows, wear hard leather armor, have long-bladed machetes and heavy broad shields, and can also use spears to set up a phalanx of spears.”
Bandak watched them leave and at the same time praised: "It can be said that they are a fully upgraded version of the Swadia militia."
Bandak is a Rhodok and once served in the Kingdom's army. Have lived here for more than 20 years.
Before leaving the army, he was an experienced sergeant commander.
For the third-level Rodok skilled crossbowmen, of course they understand their value and combat capabilities.
“Well, the crossbowmen and spearmen of Rhodok Kingdom are indeed very strong.”
Fatis, who misjudged this, pursed his lips and did not say anything more. He just nodded dryly and responded:
"And the Rhodok spear troops are the hardest shields in the world. , can be paired with the sharpest Swadian cavalry troops to produce unimaginable battlefield effects."
"This cannot be achieved on the continent of Calradia, but in front of Lord Shen Mu, everyone can unite. Get up and make it happen," Bandak chuckled.
He understood what Fatis meant.
When the Kingdom of Rhodok had not yet become independent from the Kingdom of Swadia, the cooperation between the two nations was simply perfect.
Rodok's pike troops are the best line infantry. Standing there, no matter how fierce the battle is, they will not retreat even half a step.
The Rhodok crossbowmen, using sniper crossbows, can stand behind these spear troops and accurately snipe the enemy, forcing those enemies to attack only towards them, otherwise they will be killed one by one by sniper crossbows. They were named and shot directly on the spot.
But once the enemy starts to attack the Rhodok troops, the formation will be scattered.
At that time, Swadia's heavy cavalry began to charge, completely overwhelming the enemy.
At that time, when the Kingdom of Swadia was at its peak, it used such tactics to defeat the surrounding nations and dominate the most fertile plains.
Unfortunately, as Harlaus became king through conspiracy, he began to impose taxes and launch brutal wars.
Rodok resisted and left independently.
The harmonious cooperation between the two can no longer continue.
From then on, the Kingdom of Swadia began to be unable to suppress the Nords from the sea, the Vekians on the snowfields, the Kugits on the grasslands, and the Salanders in the desert.
Being beaten and defeated, they could only retreat to the undefensible plain position, and they were no longer as strong as before.
Of course, it was a lose-lose outcome for the Rhodok Kingdom.
With the loss of the heavy cavalry troops of the Kingdom of Swadia, there was no way to raise horses in the Rhodok Mountains, nor to form any cavalry troops, and they lost their tactical mobility and battlefield initiative.
You can only rely on your shield to block the enemy, and take advantage of the geographical advantages of the Rhodok Mountains to shoot the enemy with heavy crossbows and sniper crossbows. This is a stupid way to fight.
If you leave the mountainous area, leave an area with complex environment, and encounter enemies.
Even if the enemy is defeated, it is difficult to achieve a large-scale capture effect.
Instead, enemies came in waves.
Retreat in waves.
Never-ending harassment of these Rhodoks.
When they are tired and tired, and then take the opportunity to attack, they will be defeated directly.
Very uncomfortable!
This is also the reason why the troops of the Rhodok Kingdom can only be deployed near the mountains.
I dare not go deep into the plains or inland at all.
Compared with the Nords who also only have infantry and low-level archers, in the background, these Nords at least have ships and can use waterways for strategic maneuvers.
In terms of tactics, with stronger impact, using throwing axes and javelins, wearing chain armor and large shields, they can still run fast in close combat. The extremely powerful Nord infantry unit has also vaguely mastered it. Some battlefield initiative.
It is better than the Rhodok Kingdom, which is now in an awkward position and can only play defensive counterattacks.
"I really hope to see the combination of Rhodok and Swadian people again in Lord Shen Mu's army in the future." Fatis sighed.
"We will see this day." Bandak nodded with emotion from the side.
Follow the inclined ladder to the second floor.
Inside are more rooms for living and warehouses for storage.
As a Rhodok, Bandak quickly remembered these castles he had seen when he served in the army of the Kingdom of Rhodok, and explained:
"Lord Shen Mu, we can arrange for guards and elite troops to be stationed here, as well as your room. According to my understanding, the number of stationed personnel is usually 100. If the maximum number is in wartime, it can be 300."
"Yes." Shen Mu nodded, looked out the window in the room, where the city wall was, and nodded again and praised: "It's a very good place."
Then he came to the third floor.
Here, there are also many rooms, where many soldiers can be stationed and a lot of supplies can be stored.
And outside the four city walls, additional protruding rooms like mushroom umbrellas were built, extending outward.
Not only can it provide a wider shooting range, but it can also open an opening in the wooden board under your feet and aim it in key directions such as the castle gate and city wall arteries. When the enemy's troops approach, you can throw stones or debris to hit the enemy!
"Very good." Shen Mu nodded.
Then he looked at the last staircase and stepped to the top of the main building of the castle.
In the middle is a spire-like roof built with pieces of stone bricks and wood.
At the edge of the roof, there are wooden stands similar to scaffolding on a construction site, which allow crossbowmen to climb on top and shoot below.
On these scaffoldings, there are also 10 skilled Rodok crossbowmen holding crossbows standing guard at this time, vigilantly scanning the surrounding open land. If any team comes or any abnormal situation occurs, they will not be able to hide it. eyes.
Including the scaffolding, it is already 15 meters high. It is indeed an excellent place to look around.
Shen Mu also came to the scaffolding through the ladder and took a look at the wide view around him, especially the large stretches of deserted fields on the east side. He knew that they were from Zen The land in Da Town can be reclaimed at any time.
Not only did I look further away, it was also pitch black, with black patches all over it.
Shen Mu pursed his lips slightly.
The relatively relaxed mood in my heart also became a little more solemn.
Because those are the traces caused by the demon of the abyss.
Shen Mu still has some lingering fear when he thinks about the tragic battle that occurred in the dark tide.
If it weren’t for those abyss demons who underestimated their enemies, it would have been hard to say what the outcome would have been!
Now that I have obtained a new upgrade, I feel complacent, which is completely stupid and self-destroying the Great Wall.
"Let's go and see what's going on outside the main building of the castle."
Shen Mu frowned, adjusted his mentality, turned around and walked down the stairs.
Exiting the castle gate on the first floor, Shen Mu turned around and came to the left side of the castle courtyard, where the stables built close to the city wall, the granary where grain and fodder were stored, and the armory were located.
Nothing surprising.
So Shen Mu simply went through the motions and came to the right side of the castle courtyard on the right.
This is the location of the prison and the warehouse where debris is stored. Nothing surprising either.
But at this time, Shen Mu also focused his attention on the special building with two floors and a thick chimney in the southeast corner——
The Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council.
“As long as it is lit, it can release light and has the special magical ability to dispel darkness.”
Shen Mu walked forward.
Bandak and Fatis both had wonder in their eyes at this time.
Because the whole body of this torch tower is made of pure white marble, and the craftsmanship is quite superb. The layers are built up layer by layer, and the gaps on the edges fit very tightly.
Compared with the rough texture of the city walls next to it, some gaps can even put a finger through, it is simply a world of difference!
And they also discovered that the stones used to build this torch tower were all rectangular high-quality stones.
Whether it is Svadia or Rhodok, they can directly repair the private manors and mansions of nobles instead of in the castle. The end result is just waiting for the enemy to destroy the stone.
“This doesn’t look like a building that should be in a castle.” Bandak felt regretful.
"Indeed." Fatis agreed.
Shen Mu didn't say anything about this.
After all, this is the Holy White Council, which is a high-level group in the world of Lord of the Rings. It is a building specially used for lighting.
The quality is certainly not low.
"The bottom floor is a warehouse for storing firewood."
Shen Mu walked over and saw that it was full, with almost the entire warehouse's firewood stacked, and nodded gently: " It seems that in a short period of time, these firewood will be enough to burn.”
But Shen Mu had a reminder from the riding and cutting system, and he understood that the most important thing about this special rule building was not the firewood.
It is in the library on the second floor, where the mana scrolls should be stored.
A special scroll infused and stored with mana.
"Sure enough, it's empty." Shen Mu came to the second floor. There were many tables and chairs inside, and there were cabinets on the walls, but they were all empty.
Shen Mu knew that if he wanted to obtain the mana scroll, he could only trade with the White Tower.
To be precise.
It is trading with the white-robed wizard Saruman, the owner of the White Tower, who still appears to be a decent person, but in fact has been tempted and started to fall.
The supplies for trade are still the bodies of the abyss demons.
This has to make people think a lot.
Of course.
Shen Mu didn’t care.
It’s just trade, first get the dinar and then get the mana scroll.
"Go and have a look at the top of the building." Shen Mu found the location of the second-floor staircase of the Torch Tower, a narrow, spiral staircase.
Climb up.
When we came out, we came to a small house that looked like a lighthouse.
There is a huge marble brazier inside.
And the edge of the brazier.
There is also a marble shelf similar to a pulpit, with many fine runes carved on it, which together form a mysterious magic circle.
It seems that it is just enough for people to put the mana scroll on it and then use it.
“It’s not dark yet, but trade should begin.”
Shen Mu saw the brazier and the pulpit, and thought of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council. The effect is quite moving in the eyes.
But I didn’t stop here.
Instead, he turned his head and glanced at the castle gate to the south, sandwiched between two stone towers.
As long as we finish seeing that place, this tour of the castle will come to an end.
The temporary task is completed!
So Shen Mu then came to the castle gate.
Two square stone towers 8 meters high and 4 meters wide are like two huge warriors, one on the left and one on the right sandwiching the 7-meter-high and 6-meter-wide castle gate to protect it. With.
The castle gate is now closed, and there are no soldiers stationed on the stone towers on both sides.
But you can tell by looking at it, if there are soldiers wearing heavy armor standing guard in front of the castle gate, and there are long-range shooters holding crossbows or longbows standing guard on the stone towers.
The atmosphere of the military management area, which is more solemn than the towns outside, will immediately pervade.
There is also a sense of chilling.
"In that case, it can be called a real castle." Shen Mu nodded gently, sincerely recognizing the changes.
Immediately, a new dialog box appeared in front of Shen Mu's eyes.
【Ding! Congratulations! After your careful observation, the changes in the castle are summarized. Your mission is accomplished. 】
【You have obtained - Rhodok Mountain Rock Base (terrain change). 】
And in Shen Mu's mind, the card formed by this prop also quickly condensed, depicting the appearance of mountains, rivers and rocks, which was very lifelike.
This is the reward Shen Mu received this time——
In the Rhodok Mountains, there is a base formed by a huge rock.
The kind that is suitable for building a castle on.
"In that case."
Shen Mu glanced at the retina, and there was still the last countdown dialog box left.
[Magic Ball Modification Permission: 00 hours, 03 minutes and 22 seconds. 】
The 60-minute magic ball permission is still the modification permission of the map modifier, which is still in the process of taking effect.
The kind that can violate the rules of physics and change it at will according to his ideas at any time!
“Enter the modification permission again!”
Shen Mu’s thinking communicated with the system again.
‘Buzz! ’
The first-person perspective instantly changed to a third-person perspective.
The entire Rhodok Castle and the bird's eye view of the town Dehrem appeared in front of you again.
"Use props!" Shen Mu did not hesitate, and his mind communicated with the system again.
【You used the prop: "Rodok Mountain Rock Base (Terrain Change)". 】
【Under your castle, a monolithic rock base from the Rhodok Mountains begins to appear. It seemed to have crushed a certain cave under the ground, completely destroying it and suppressing it at the bottom of this huge mountain rock, leaving no space. 】
[It has been detected that you are now in the "Magic Ball Permission Map Modifier" state. You can now freely adjust the height of the rock. 】
Then on the retina in front of Shen Mu’s eyes, a new dialog box was refreshed again.
"It's just as I thought." The corners of Shen Mu's mouth curled up slightly.
But his attention, following his thoughts, came closer to a huge flat rock below the castle and flush with the ground.
At this time, streams of white data appeared in Shen Mu's eyes, making his vision more realistic.
Most of the mountain rocks buried under the underground soil also appeared in Shen Mu's eyes, until it reached a height of nearly a hundred meters, lifting the entire underground area of the castle, like an underground object appearing out of thin air. giant!
"Then, lift me up to a height of 10 meters!" Shen Mu's thinking communication system wanted to directly control this huge rock with authority.
‘Susu! ’ Then the rock trembled slowly twice and began to rise slowly.
It is said to be a slow climb, but under the influence of the riding and slashing system, the speed is really not slow.
1 meter…2 meters…3 meters…4 meters…5 meters.
Only at the 5th meter.
This huge rock mass seems to be rooted underground, and there is no way to continue to raise it.
"Huh? What's going on?" Shen Mu frowned slightly at this time.
Thinking communication system again.
‘Susu! ’
But as the mountain rock trembled a few more times, there was no sound at all.
It seems that there is no way to continue to rise.
It is only fixed at the height of 5 meters.
Then a dialog box popped up on the retina in front of Shen Mu.
【Ding! At present, the volume of the rock is too huge and the rule level is too high. It is difficult for you to continue to control it with the power of rules you currently have. Please try again after strengthening the power of rules you have. 】
"Wait? What do you mean that the power of rules I have is difficult to control? Do you still need me to strengthen the power of rules before trying again!?"
Shen Mu looked at the content in the dialog box, these words He knew them all, but after finishing this whole paragraph, he felt a little stunned.
What does this mean?
I subconsciously looked at the huge rock foundation that was only raised 5 meters.
The overall height of the city wall itself is only 15 meters.
Although this height is really good.
But.
What Shen Mu wants is at least 10 meters high!
In this case, it is like a castle built directly on a cliff. No matter how the enemy attacks, the foundation and foundation height of at least 10 meters made of a whole piece of rock are enough for any siege force. Nightmare.
The original plan was pretty good.
Is this system now telling Shen Mu that due to special reasons, it can only raise the foundation to a height of 5 meters?
【Ding! hint! Magic ball modifier countdown: 00 hours, 00 minutes and 30 seconds. 】
Just when Shen Mu was still meditating, the dialog box appeared again in front of him.
This time, it means that the magic ball authority is about to enter the final 30-second countdown.
"There is also a city gate!" Shen Mu's expression changed slightly at this time, and in a flash, this third-person perspective, which can be called God's perspective, directly came to the location of the castle gate.
At this time, the castle gate was also 5 meters higher than the town due to the rock formations about 5 meters above the ground.
But even in the town, there is a trench about 5 meters wide and 3 meters deep, blocking the outside of the city wall of the castle area and within the city wall of the town area, serving as the dividing line between the two areas. .
Now, the castle area as a whole has been raised five meters. Doesn’t that mean that the town area is five meters lower? Even if the suspension bridge on the castle wall is lowered, there is no way to reach the ground on the town side?
Now Shen Mu is here just to deal with this matter.
“Those door panels that were shattered by the abyss demon were originally created by the riding and slashing system.”
Shen Mu is using the magic ball modifier to modify items on a small scale.
At the same time, instill all the ideas into the system:
“Now integrate them all to form a suspension bridge that is 10 meters long, 10 centimeters thick, can be folded, and is reinforced with iron bars. Then modify it to the castle gate!"
I saw the countless broken wooden boards in mid-air restored, and then came to the castle gate and began to assemble with the original suspension bridge.
The original suspension bridge was disassembled and dismantled, and then integrated with these wooden boards.
And among the town's warehouses.
Twenty or thirty long iron chains that were originally seized from the Chain Demon also flew over at this time and got stuck on these suspension bridges.
These were all completed in just ten seconds as Shen Mu controlled the riding and slashing system with his thoughts.
Finally, at the end, the dialog box representing the disappearance of permissions appeared on Shen Mu's retina, and his entire perspective instantly returned to his own body, restoring the first-person perspective.
A dialog box appeared on the retina in front of my eyes.
[Your magic ball authority time is over. 】
“It’s over.”
Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Now he is still standing inside the castle gate, with the two thick gates still blocking his face.
"Come here!" At this time, Bandak, who was behind Shen Mu, immediately pointed behind him. He was looking at the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs and Swadia light infantry in surprise. , said loudly: "Open the city gate!"
"Understood!" The Lake Rat Gang saboteurs and Swadia light infantry immediately walked over quickly.
The saboteurs of the Lake Rat Gang moved quickly and got directly into the small door of the stone tower and climbed to the top of the city gate tower.
There is a winch on it.
After looking at the direction of the winch and the iron fence connected by chains and pulleys, I immediately understood what was going on.
Using each other's strength, they began to turn the cross winch and slowly pulled up the iron fence with iron chains.
'Clatter, lala, lala -'
Amidst the violent sound of the iron chain rubbing against the pulley, the huge iron fence gate was finally lifted to a height of 3 meters, leaving room for passage underneath. aisle.
'Creak--' At this time, the Swadian light infantry had also lifted six huge iron ring door latches that required two people to lift them down. They were made of whole logs. , open the city gate.
Then outside is the extremely heavy iron gate that has been pulled up.
There is also the suspension bridge just outside the city gate.
"Open the suspension bridge."
This time Bandak didn't need to remind them. The saboteurs of the Lake Rat Gang who were still on the city gate tower found two slightly smaller winches.
"Harder! Push!" The chains moved as the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs pushed hard on the winch.
The violent squeaking sound of metal friction pulleys kept coming.
Two sides of the suspension bridge door panels appeared, bound by a large number of two-finger-wide iron bars and reinforced with iron nails. The folded parts were completely tied together with thin iron ropes, and there were several fist-sized metal buckles. Reinforcement.
As the iron cables on the city wall were pulled up, they slowly merged into one in mid-air, forming a 5-meter-wide and 10-meter-long suspension bridge door panel.
Then it was slowly controlled by the iron ropes on the edges of a large number of door panels, and slowly landed in the town area.
With a 'clang', the suspension bridge finally landed.
A steep suspension bridge connects the two areas.
Finally, the castle area, which was nominally connected to the town area, was lifted from the blockade and really connected with each other.
"Lord Shen Mu! It's Lord Shen Mu!"
"The respected Lord Shen Mu finally came out!"
At this time, just across the suspension bridge, one by one the Swadia light infantry , Holy Tree Knights, mercenary crossbowmen, Vecian villagers, etc., most of them gathered there.
When they saw Shen Mu coming out, they all looked at him with excited expressions and cheered loudly.
They have also experienced the great changes in the castle and town just now.
Don't quite understand what happened.
But when they saw the extremely changed castle area and the rising rocks that blocked their access, they had to say that they were still a little panicked.
After all, as the supreme commander, Shen Mu, and the two deputy commanders, Bandak and Fatis, all lost contact.
Wouldn't this mean that they suddenly fell into a leaderless state?
In other words, these cavalry and slashing soldiers each have their own command system.
The higher level commands the lower level.
Noble soldiers command civilian soldiers.
This way there won’t be any trouble.
"Well, I'm here." Shen Mu walked through the solid suspension bridge door and came to the town area.
It seems that there is no change, only the city wall has become shorter, but in fact it has strengthened.
Shen Mu was very satisfied.
Looking at the soldiers in front of him who were looking at him eagerly, Shen Mu also pondered slightly, turned to Bandak and Fatis who were following behind him and ordered:
"You will These soldiers have assigned their respective rooms, and then arranged their respective garrison locations and patrol teams in the castle and town. "
"We understand," Bandak and Fatis nodded at the same time. .
