Chapter 154 Probing Charge
Chapter 154 Probing Charge
"Chief! The wooden walls are all covered in branches!"
"The greasy stuff is all set aside too!"
"The logs are ready!"
"The new soldiers can use the float pole too!"
Zi Yi listened to the goblins' chattering reports and responded to each one.
"I see."
He was standing on the slope behind the earthen wall, where he could see the progress everywhere at a glance.
The earthen gate was replaced with an iron gate, and log platforms were hastily erected on both sides.
Logs were set up on the platform as before, and temporary shelters were built on both sides of the earthen wall with pine branches.
Zi'an continued to use physical contact to examine her.
Although this was a temporary setup done in a rush, the swaying was significantly greater than the previous platform.
But it's still usable.
Zi Yi then looked down the slope.
The wooden walls erected in the previously dug pits were covered with pine branches, making them look no different from temporary shelters.
The twenty temporary pole vaulters on the open ground are training under the guidance of veteran soldiers.
"Wow! I'm so strong!"
"It's the floater who's stronger! You idiot!"
The soldiers, who had just learned how to use the float pole, were very excited, which made Zi Yi relax a little.
He then looked behind him, not far away.
Just a hundred paces east of the earthen wall, Zi'an was leading the prisoners in building a second wooden wall.
By this time, the wooden wall was basically completed, and the prisoners were inserting branches into the gaps between the walls.
He then looked southwest, where the sturdy wooden wall they had built after their first return from the slave-catching camp stood.
Li Mosi has already installed the two longbows she made two days ago on the wall.
He is now teaching the goblins how to use it.
"Why are you backing away! Even if this bow bounces backward, it won't hit you!"
"Grab here! Find the right spot!"
He said a sentence, and the clever boy translated it.
The four goblins standing on the wall receiving training were stunned by the roar.
Because the goblin's reach was too short, he could only fix the two longbows horizontally to the top of the wall.
Because the goblins were not strong enough, he could only teach two goblins to use a longbow together.
The result was that individual weapons were transformed into cooperative weapons.
The difficulty of teaching has suddenly increased!
They practiced for most of the morning, but they still couldn't hit the target 70 meters away!
"Oh dear, you'd be better off using a longbow with them!"
The saintess following Li Mosi was extremely anxious.
Snapped!
He slapped Haki Saint hard on the back.
"Since it's already done, a longbow is still better than a drifting rod."
Li Mosi felt helpless.
He could only watch as the more than 600 glowing dots on the [Leshan Water] map approached, suppressing his anxiety as he continued teaching.
This morning I was planning to start building the city, but when I opened the map, I saw that more than 700 glowing spots had appeared on the southern edge!
He was dumbfounded!
There are dragon horses that have been tracked and ordinary horses, as well as five dragon horses that have never been tracked and hundreds of ordinary horses!
There are also dozens of humans already tracked and a large group of timid and underage new enemies!
The humans they've already tracked are obviously slave hunters.
What about those that weren't tracked?
Li Mosi could not confirm.
All he knew was that the number and quality of the enemy had increased again!
Nine extraordinary nobles, more than two hundred light cavalry, and more than five hundred light infantry.
Is this a human being?
So they're just fixated on his tribe?
Although he couldn't understand why a group of nobles involved in the slave trade were targeting goblins.
But the enemy had already set off, and they had to make preparations quickly during the half-day while the enemy was on their way.
They still have no room for error in the face of this crisis.
We cannot take chances.
Just like he doesn't entirely expect to achieve much with two longbows right now.
On either side of the sturdy wooden wall, the goblins had also set up pine branch bunkers, behind which were also stacked logs.
The goblins were also very anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
After a while, the four goblins were finally able to consistently hit the haystack seventy meters away!
"Alright! Now try to aim more accurately! Aim at the horse and shoot later!"
The clever boy quickly translated.
"The new elder told you to aim carefully! Aim at the horse and shoot!"
The four goblins breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the target distance has stopped increasing!
A horse is about the same size as a haystack!
"Master, the wooden wall over there is finished!"
Zian's voice came from behind Li Mosi.
He turned around and saw Zi'an ordering the prisoners to drag four pine trees to the wall, and Zi Yi followed.
She turned and waved to the prisoners: "Leave them here! Turn them all into logs!"
"Yes, Lady Enlian."
"Quickly, turn the tree into logs."
Four security guards supervised the prisoners to get to work quickly.
"You've come at the perfect time."
Li Mosi pointed to her side.
"Later, put logs on top of this too."
So ruthless?
Ziwang, who was cutting tree branches, was startled.
He thought today was just another day of building defensive structures.
Judging from the current situation, it's clear that we're facing an enemy!
But who are we going to fight this time?
Ziwang couldn't figure it out.
In the past few days, he had heard from the slaves' idle chatter that the entire slave-catching team had been wiped out.
Although I had already guessed it when I recovered the body last time.
But when he actually heard the confirmed news, his surprise was no less!
This made him even more confused about the current situation.
"Yes, Master."
Zi'an nodded vigorously.
Zi Yi began to report.
"Master, all preparations are complete."
"Are you sure everything is ready?"
The saintess frowned and asked to confirm.
But Ziyi and Zian only glanced at her before looking at Li Mosi.
Hagi Saint could only frown and look at the craftsman beside him.
Li Mosi nodded and looked at the glowing dots on the [Leshan Water] map.
"Then let's pack up, eat our fill, and get ready for battle."
"good!"
"The birds from the south are flying away!"
……
"ah--!"
Peng——
"This forest is full of birds, it's wonderful!"
When Baron Stern first stepped into this vast forest that bordered his territory, he thought everything was wonderful – the trees were beautiful, the land was beautiful, and everything was beautiful.
Such a wonderful place is just outside the territory, separated only by the long wall built by the church.
But their family had never set foot there.
The church is so stingy!
"Who knows what the Vatican is thinking right now."
The knight from the side murmured softly.
His words resonated with everyone.
However, since Baron Taliss did not speak, neither did his knights and soldiers.
Baron Stern looked at Knight Martina.
"Little Martina, what's that bag behind you?"
Martina said calmly, "My uncle's help."
It has nothing to do with you.
Seeing his reaction, Baron Stern didn't ask any further questions.
It was merely the viscount's assistance.
He was prepared.
Baron Stern gripped the reins tightly, feeling the ring on his hand, and looked ahead again.
Da da da da...
Hico rode his horse around the soldiers and came to the very back.
He looked at Talis: "My lord, there is a wooden wall on the slope ahead."
Does this guy not speak aristocratic language?
Baron Stern had long noticed Hick, who bore a striking resemblance to Baron Talis.
He had never heard of this guy before, and couldn't help but feel curious.
Even if illegitimate children cannot inherit titles, they should at least have a respectable position.
Baron Talis looked at Knight Valos.
"My Valos, go and check."
"Yes, my lord."
Knight Valos and Hico rode together to the front of the procession.
Then he saw the familiar uphill slope.
Based on my previous experience, this place leads to a goblin village.
But this time, there was an extra wooden wall at the top of the slope.
The wooden wall blocked the passageway, and on both sides were steep slopes as high as three people.
On either side of the wooden wall were familiar pine branch shelters.
It was obviously made by those goblins.
He quickly returned to the ranks and informed Baron Talis.
"It was those goblins who did it, that's for sure."
"Alright." Baron Talis nodded to Valos and looked ahead. "Tell the troops to halt."
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
Lord Stern didn't understand: "Why don't we just charge in?"
Although, based on Baron Talis's experience, one could guess that those goblins were quite capable.
But they have two barons, seven knights, and more than two hundred soldiers here.
What problem can't be solved by a volley of crossbow bolts and a charge of dragon horses?
What an ignorant fellow.
Baron Talis had already decided that this guy was going to get the short end of the stick.
However, he was too lazy to talk to the old man any further.
He turned directly to his four knights: "Let the slaves charge first. The soldiers, supervise the battle!"
We need to test the waters.
