"If you're 60% sure, let's do it!"
Without giving the others a chance to continue persuading, Xu Lai made a decisive decision.
“If the battle is to deal with Moriel and the Black Dragon troops, then I suggest suspending the production of all stone projectiles now, and instead produce more ballistas and ballistae.
The catapults Although the attack power is higher, it is mainly aimed at dense ground troops.
And it is a black dragon that flies very fast. There is no doubt that the effect of the ballista will be better."
Xu Lai is very obedient. Since he has judged that the other party may bring a black dragon for a surprise attack, he must take corresponding protective measures. Otherwise, what is the use of the current pre-war meeting.
Unlike the Cyclops and the like, the black dragon has no siege ability. It has much less destructive ability against city walls, gates, arrow towers and other buildings.
So, even if Moriel has siege capabilities such as ballistics, it will not be easy to capture the walls of Mingyue City.
Of course, we cannot relax our guard just yet. We still need to have repair materials for the city walls and city gates, and ammunition reserves for the catapults, just in case Moriel directly sends an army over.
With Mingyue City's current reserves, catapults and the like are already sufficient, but the number of crossbows is somewhat insufficient.
The shooting distance and power of the crossbow are stronger than those of ordinary archers, and they can also enjoy the double increase of archery and ballistics.
But the crossbow is a single-point attack unit and requires multiple people to control it. The most important thing is that the rate of fire is not comparable to that of the shooter, not to mention the crossbowman.
In terms of range, power and coverage, the ballista cannot be compared with the catapult.
Except for some ballistas with special effects, such as those that can summon thunderbolts and lightning, the performance of the rest of the ordinary ballistae is not outstanding.
And this thing is too big to be placed in the arrow tower.
Even if it can be placed on the city wall, without the arrow tower bonus, it cannot even match the high-level archer, not to mention that Xu Lai now has a powerful weapon like the phantom archer.
“No problem, I immediately told Su Ya to hand over most of the blacksmith’s production resources to the ballista.
In addition, in the past two days, Reina, you will lead the Qingfeng Army to settle in Mingyue as soon as possible. City, let them familiarize themselves with the city defense structure of Mingyue City as soon as possible.”
Leina not only has archery, but also ballistics, which can give two bonuses to the ballista at the same time, and can also make low-level enemies. Level civilians jumped to high-level combat capabilities.
When there is no way to replenish troops faster, building more ballistas is indeed a good improvement.
Reina nodded and said: "Okay, when I go back later, I will organize the troops and bring down the weapons and ammunition."
Xu Lai nodded and then said: "Dil, Mingyue You have always been responsible for the city's defense.
After the Qingfeng Legion arrives, you will cooperate with Reina in the defense layout, and temporarily belong to Reina for command and deployment.
The sword in the city defense force. Soldier Corps, let Reina redistribute it, I will ask Giselle to join you with the Phantom Shooter, and try to add as many bonus effects as possible."
After all, what Xu Lai and the others are facing is 8. The defense capability of the black dragon at this level is not bad. With Moriel's blessing, even the phantom shooter will not be able to do much damage after breaking through the defense.
Dill was a professional marksman general, and he was not suitable to lead the infantry.
Besides, his multiple attributes such as Magic Archer, Archery Master, Swiftness Master, Archer Master and Ammunition Master have all been upgraded to the top level.
In this case, it would be a waste of resources not to assign the Phantom Shooter to him.
Dil also stood up immediately and said: "Yes, I will definitely cooperate with Ms. Reina."
Xu Lai nodded, and then informed Yu Land: "Mingyue City has not been upgraded yet. , the city wall can no longer be upgraded and reinforced, but we can still take advantage of these few days to build a few more arrow towers.”
In fact, it is possible to continue to upgrade the city wall, but without the support of the heart of the castle, it will consume more resources, take longer, and the construction speed will be slow.
Of course, there is also a benefit, that is, such buildings will always exist.
"There are already more than a dozen arrow towers. They have to be built densely again. Do you still want them?"
"Yes, of course. This is a military fortress for cover. It doesn't matter if the city wall is full.
And even if there are more than a dozen arrow towers, there are only dozens of archers in them.
I have ordered that all the ore resources in the recent mines will be transported to Mingyue City. You can rest assured and boldly.
I don’t really care about the bonuses of the arrow towers, but I want to use these arrow towers to protect as many shooters as possible. ”
In the battle with Moriel, neither side can use magic, which is equivalent to fighting entirely with hard power.
In such a situation, even if he really defeated Moriel, Xu Lai would not be able to use magic. I believe I can escape unscathed
With the addition of Kaunaston Castle and the nearby territory, Xu Laike can recruit a lot more soldiers
However, there are more places where soldiers are needed. Just for Fort Kaunaston, Xu Lai would have to leave at least 10,000 troops there to suppress it.
There can be fewer people in Qingfeng City, but no matter how few there are, there must be some, and if there are really few people to a certain extent, it will cause chaos.
Xu Lai's only shortcoming now is that his troops cannot withstand losses.
His current manpower is equivalent to a spark that can start a prairie fire, and a snowball that is about to start rolling.
Without these troops, he would need to accumulate them for a long time before he could unify the grasslands and obtain more recruitment points.
"Okay, I understand."
Everyone has given their orders, and this matter has come to an end.
Dil and Reina left one after another and set out to prepare.
The remaining Elvi, Yu Lan, Giselle, Roland and others had nothing else to do and stayed in the conference room.
After the others left, Xu Lai took out the general order that Lin Qiu had paid tribute to from his space backpack.
After taking out this general order, Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said: "I have been buying it in the market for so long but I didn't receive it. I didn't expect to get one back when I went out this time.
No matter from which angle you look at it, I think Each of you should be a general or even a hero.
But unfortunately, I only received one of these."
Xu Lai did not continue to say anything else. If you order a general, among these people present, it is obvious that only one person can become a general and gain true semi-freedom.
Becoming a captain only awakens your personality, but you don’t even have the right to freely change equipment or learn skills.
After becoming a general, except that it is still subject to the user, there are no other restrictions.
It shouldn’t be said to be semi-free, but almost full freedom. After all, Xu Lai has almost never abused his privileges.
Several people present were very eager for this point general.
As the captain of the Guards, Roland first handed over his hand and said: "Lord, I am still relatively inexperienced. I should leave this general order to a few other adults." Xu Lai nodded, not saying much. say what.
In fact, Roland was not within Xu Lai's consideration.
He was originally the knight commander appointed by Xu Lai, and appointed him as a general. Should Xu Lai appoint him, or not?
Furthermore, in terms of qualifications, he is indeed a bit shallow. Even if Xu Lai needs a knight general, Tahan and Yan Feng must be given priority.
Xu Lai had already got this general order in his hand, and he was planning to take it back to Yu Lan for use.
When the second general order was issued, Xu Lai wanted to give it to Yu Lan, but she refused and gave it to Dill.
Xu Lai wanted to compensate Yu Lan for this captain's order, and he didn't care even if it cost him a captain's order.
If he had not wanted to leave it to Yu Lan, he would have used this captain's order in Conaston, and there would be no need to wait until now to make a choice.
It can only be said that there are unforeseen circumstances. It happened to be at this time that Moriel's cavemen appeared. It happened that Moriel's main force was a high-level black dragon.
Currently, the only ones on Xu Lai's side that can securely defeat the 8th level black dragon are the archangels and seraphs who are strong enough in single combat and can fly at the same time.
Furthermore, these angels are the most difficult unit to replenish.
For other recruitment of soldiers, even if there is no recruitment point, Xu Lai can still purchase them from the market, at most with a few gold coins.
With Xu Lai's current net worth, he doesn't care at all if he loses a few gold coins.
It is impossible for Xu Lai not to send the air force to contain the black dragon at all. If there are no flying units to contain the black dragon, the opponent can brave the rain of arrows and sweep his city wall with flame breath.
But he couldn't accept that the angels had suffered too much loss, so he took it out at this time, actually intending to give it to Elvy.
But this is just Xu Lai's idea. He respects the opinions of Yu Lan and Elwe more.
After Roland finished speaking, Yu Lan followed closely and said: "I am a witch, and after becoming a general, I have no troops to command.
Those mages are not on the same page as me. My general attributes , may not be suitable for them.
We will fight Moriel soon, so give this general order to Sister Elwe."
Hearing this, Xu Lai looked at the other two expressionlessly. people.
Giselle stuck out her tongue and said: "Don't look at me, I don't want it."
Xu Lai said angrily: "Then if I have any extras in the future, I don't have to give them to you?"
Giselle smiled naively: "If you have extras, it doesn't matter if you give me one."
"Elwee, what do you mean?"
Elwee did not refuse, she looked directly into Xu Lai's eyes and said: "In terms of first come, first served, Yu Lan, Tahan and the others They are all more suitable than me.
But we are about to fight Moriel, and this point will be very important to the angel army.”
Xu Lai didn't say anything else. He sighed and said: "Anyway, Moriel will definitely not arrive until next month.
There are only two days left, and the new month is here. You can Form a few more angels.
Although no large-scale battles have broken out these days, small-scale liquidation operations have almost never stopped. I estimate that many angels are on the verge of upgrading.
You and the angel troops should stop guarding me during this period. I am protected by Roland, and I won’t go anywhere.
There is an advanced training ground right here in Mingyue City. You can go directly. The highest experience multiplier, you don't need to worry about money.
I just need you to give me the most trained Seraphim before Moriel's legions arrive. ”
Although he said he was not going anywhere, Xu Lai actually wanted to make a trip to Lion Heart City. He wanted to use the high-end Yunzhong City in the capital to upgrade all the little angels into archangels.
However, the teleportation array has been opened. Although the teleportation array in Qingfeng City currently only opens the Kaunaston line, Xu Lai will take the space mage with him to transfer from Kaunaston to Lion Heart. City.
With Xu Lai's current relationship with the temple, opening the teleportation array with Lion Heart City should not be a big problem.
And after opening the teleportation array to the capital, the capital's teleportation array will be opened. Big businessmen can take the teleportation array directly to Qingfeng City and participate in the auction
Xu Lai had to do this, and he had already informed the temple through Elena in advance.
The temple did not give Xu Lai a good look, but they did not reject him after all.
Elwee said nothing more and silently nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Xu Lai didn't hesitate, simply picked up the General Order on the table and chose to use it on Elvy.
After a burst of bright light, Elvi, as an archangel, underwent a new change.
The originally fiery red battle robe, representing Seraph's identity, turned into a full metal battle armor and battle skirt, but the patterns and colors were still a combination of pure white and flame, which represented the sacredness.
The battle skirt just reached the knees, revealing a pair of crystal white legs that only Xu Lai knew were smooth.
In addition to these, the combat boots under Elvie's feet and the hood on her head also turned into metal combat boots and helmet.
Beyond the equipment, the most important change comes from her attributes.
