The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 762

When an army sets out to clean up an area of ​​ghosts and monsters, it usually ends in ruins.Even though this is an army with only a few hundred people, it is still not a crushing force that any monster or a tribe of lycanthropes can resist.

What's more, the main force among them is the cloud giant who is nearly four or five people tall. To ordinary people, the owl bear is even more terrifying than tigers and wolves. In front of the cloud giant, it is almost no more threatening to humans than a miniature teddy .

In human country legends, ogre monsters are equivalent to the incarnation of nightmares. It is much easier for cloud giants to kill them than to trample an ant to death, because the big feet of cloud giants may be too large due to the gap with the ground. Ants cannot be trampled to death.

And those ferocious lycanthropes, in the face of the mountainous cloud giants that surrounded their tribe, behaved more well-behaved than the most docile cat, and licked dogs better than the most loyal dogs.Especially when William, the messenger of the cloud giant, appeared in front of the lycanthropes, they wished they could lie on the ground and lick William's footprints with their tongues instead of his boots.

I have to say that it is convenient to have the help of the leading party.The active surrender of the lycanthropes allowed William's soldiers to accurately find the dangerous guys lurking in the Three Rivers. The beasts were killed to eat meat, the demons were killed and burned, and the lycanthropes were incorporated as slaves.

At the same time, more hired workers began to cut wood and dig soil, move supplies, and prepare to start building William's own fortress.

Originally, William wanted to build a large bastion, but he didn't understand architecture, so he could only draw a rough appearance, and then handed it over to his men to figure out a way.

Who would have thought that the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks under his hands gave him a big surprise.

Building a fortress is not an easy task. It requires experienced engineers and skilled technicians. William is neither of these, but it does not prevent his construction plan from proceeding smoothly, because William does have talents under his command. .

Not to mention anything else, the cloud giant is a good hand in construction, almost all of them are excellent sculptors and stonemasons, and William also has a group of outstanding technical talents in the flame world. The level of construction is not bad, after all, they are slaves enslaved by the flame giants to work and build.

There are also those flame giants who can be called natural architects, and of course the versatile fire elves cannot be ignored.

Under the intense discussion of these people working together and writing different ideas, an unprecedented plan appeared in front of William.

It must be impossible to say that no one has discovered the geographical importance of the Battle Valley and even the Land of Three Rivers for more than 300 years (the beginning of the Valley Reclamation Day). There has never been a shortage of smart people in this world. There are many people.

But the reason why the Land of Three Rivers couldn't prosper and couldn't build a strategic city like Deepwater City, not to mention some political and other constraints and interference, the problem of preventing flooding alone was enough to kill the old man.

It should be noted that this world has magical powers, and it is not difficult for some powerful mages to send out a moderate flood, just like William did in the Tessa River.

Take Deep Water City as an example. The foundation of the main city of Deep Water City is built on a piece of cliff land hundreds of meters above sea level. A passage connecting the Underdark regions of the world.

If anyone wants to flood Deepwater City, then congratulations, first of all you have to set off a huge wave and tsunami hundreds of meters high. do it.Then you have to pour a huge amount of water into the Leyline Lost City and the Underdark Region, filling the entire underground world, and only then can there be water on the ground of Waterdeep City.

That... If anyone can use such a vast amount of energy to the point of flooding the ground of Waterdeep City, then why do you bother to flood it with water? You can directly use energy to transform it into destructive power, and just smash it at Waterdeep City. Believe it or not Ten deep water cities can also be smashed into complete ruins.

But the land of three rivers is just the opposite. The highest point of the ground here is only ten meters away from the river surface, and the lower part can even be level with the river surface. The surrounding terrain is flat. If it is used for planting, it is definitely the best paddy field area .

But if you want to build a city, if you don’t take good flood control and drainage measures, basically every rainy season will be a fatal disaster, let alone someone deliberately destroys it, whether it’s storing water upstream or building a dam downstream, For the cities in the Three Rivers Land, that would definitely be a disaster.

The method of attacking with fire and flooding with water has always been the housekeeping skill of William's ancestors on the battlefield in his previous life, and he was good at it.So William naturally had to guard against this aspect.

Regarding how to prevent floods in the city, William really doesn't have many methods. At most, he only knows a little superficial knowledge about the construction of flood control culverts and drainage canals in big cities in his previous life.

But the Flame World construction team under William has a more perverted plan. Of course, the buildings in the Flame World don't need to defend against floods, but they need to resist the almost ubiquitous magma flow in the Flame World.

Are you asking what the difference is between a lava flow and a flood?Everyone is liquid flow, at most one drowns people, one can not only drown people, but also scald people to death, the others are really not much different.

The architects of the flame world not only have to build buildings that can withstand the impact of the magma flow from the eruption, some buildings are even built directly on the magma sea.

When a similar plan was brought to Faerun and the Land of Three Rivers in the Battle Valley, William and the others found that the preset effect was surprisingly good.Of course, if it is really done according to this plan, then the material consumption that needs to be invested will not be comparable to building a military castle casually.

However, William, who owns the entire Flame World as a source of resources, never worries about the consumption of materials. He only worries about whether there are enough manpower and how long the construction period will take.

Therefore, with a definite plan, and a certain amount of manpower, there is no shortage of technical personnel. Not to mention, William directly ordered to start, so under the guidance of many technicians from the flame department, the new city construction project of the Land of Three Rivers immediately began to break ground start work.

There are several advantages of this ultimate city building plan, among which the two most important advantages are flood prevention and flood resistance, and the other is that it is strong enough.

The flood-proof and anti-flood design of the castle is absorbed from the magma castle construction method of the flame world, and the most important thing is to lay the foundation.

To build a foundation in the magma sea of ​​​​the flame world, not only the impact resistance of the foundation must be considered, but also the high temperature resistance of the material. It is necessary to use a very rare refractory material on the magma seabed of the flame world, so the construction of any lava city , Almost all of them are super projects that cost a lot of money.

However, William's city does not need to consider the issue of high temperature resistance, so it does not use the rare building materials that are enough to bankrupt half of Faerun. They only need some strong enough obsidian as the base material for the foundation.

There is no one in this world who is better at processing and utilizing obsidian than the natives of the flame world. Even William felt like an eye-opener.

When the flame dwarves and flame giants used obsidian materials to build the foundation, they did not cut them into blocks and stack them, but poured concrete like William's previous life.

They first built a shaped formwork at the foundation position, then put in obsidian gravel, filled the internal cavity of the formwork roughly, and then began to pour molten obsidian lava into it, until the two sides were mixed evenly, and controlled The fire master with excellent fire ability heats the mixture of lava and gravel, and after the two are fully fused, they are re-cooled to form a flawless obsidian foundation.

This method of laying the foundation is much more convenient and quicker than conventional building, and the foundation is also stronger and more resistant to pressure. However, because William can only open the Flame Gate once a day, the progress of the project has to be restricted and limited by materials.

Every time the gate of flames opens, groups of engineering transportation teams are like donkeys being whipped by their masters, running fast in small steps, and they always try their best to transport the most materials in the shortest time Inject the mold base, and then the fire master who has been on standby for a long time will prepare the materials.

In fact, the best fire controller is William, the flame lord. However, he did not intervene in the specific construction work, but always grasped the general direction. He ordered his subordinates and employees to work on the periphery of the project area during the closing time of the flame gate. Build a temporary defense zone, because William is sure that the people in Battle Valley will never stand by and watch them build a city here without being indifferent.

Although the temporary outer defense belt built by William and the others is only a temporary facility, its defensive effect is not even worse than some permanent town defenses.

Ditches, fences, antlers, repelling horses, and countless traps and spike barriers, as long as the invading enemy does not have corresponding siege equipment or magic power, relying on human lives alone may not require a lot of blood and flesh.

In fact, William didn't stay in the land of Three Rivers for too long. On the second day after they decided on the city building plan, after the architects poured the first obsidian foundation, Selina, who was sent out to investigate the news, took Back to the news of the crusade team composed of Battle Valley militia, adventurers, and mercenaries.

However, until the defensive belt around the project area was built three days later, the crusade team in the Battle Valley was still wandering around the Yewen Pond, which was about ten miles away, and it was estimated that it would take more than a day for them to arrive here.

The intelligence that William and the others had established a solid defense facility was naturally spied on by the spies of the crusade team. After all, there were also elite-level characters among the adventurers, but this information, which was not good for the locals, triggered Disagreement and quarrels among the members of the crusade, and some militiamen complained that the mercenaries were too lax, which greatly affected their marching speed, so that the enemy had established a solid line of defense.Some adventurers complained that other people did not think well about the problem, did not prepare in advance to deal with the enemy's defense facilities, and some complained that they did not get enough rewards...
But there is a consensus that everyone in the entire crusade team recognizes. No one wants to confront the line of defense that the invaders quickly built.

And this is also the reason why the main force of the crusade team stopped patrolling near the Yewen Pond.

On the second day that William and the others expected, the crusade team did not leave Yewen Pond, but still stayed there hesitantly.

This is a bit uncomfortable. Although William is not afraid of being besieged, he also does not want to play a silent confrontation with a mob here.He immediately gathered the cloud giant brigade and a group of human cavalry. The knights were basically warriors from the deep forest valley, but the mounts were captured from the bow valley.

With these two amazingly mobile teams, William ran for more than ten miles with lightning speed, and appeared in front of the almost unsuspecting Battle Valley crusade team, and what happened next was basically The above are reprints of some classic battle examples.

The number of people is small, but the cloud giant with amazing combat power is like an iron ox plowing the ground, disrupting the camp where the crusades are stationed, and then forming a cluster of cavalry along the gap opened by the cloud giant, non-stop. The chaotic enemy formation was torn apart, turning them into a group of disorderly scattered soldiers, and then from the scattered soldiers into frightened deserters.

There is no doubt that the cavalry has inherent incomparable advantages in chasing death and chasing the north.Therefore, when chasing and killing the fleeing enemies, the deep forest valley cavalry, who were usually weak in battle, finally harvested a wave of fat meat. At least hundreds of enemies fell under their iron hooves, and there were almost twice as many Most of the enemies died due to the killing and trampling of their companions, and some of the enemies disarmed and surrendered directly when they saw the situation was not good. Only a very small number of enemies were able to escape.

For elites eager for glory, cleaning the battlefield is a very boring thing.But for most ordinary people, cleaning the battlefield is a beautiful job. This job is like opening a blind box game. No one knows what valuable treasures are hidden on the enemy corpses they are cleaning up. Things, but those who are not too unlucky can always reap some windfalls, including many adventurers and mercenaries who like to pick up leaks from the enemy's corpse.

William urgently dispatched a group of hired workers to the bank of Yewen Pond to clean up the battlefield, but he didn't stay here, nor did he go to the engineering area to open the gate of flames for his engineering team.

Wei's sudden attack this time almost wiped out the first batch of mobile troops that the Battle Valley could mobilize. The army of the army, and he can also take the opportunity to go to other places to do other things.For example, go to Misty Valley in the north to pick up Misha'er, Miluna and others, as well as the expedition team to crusade against Misty Valley.

Of course, the reason why William went to Misty Valley was not only because he missed a few little girls, but also because he wanted to speed up the construction of the city with the help of Miluna's magical ability.To be honest, the limit of only opening the Flame Gate once a day is a kind of torture for tool people who are enthusiastic about their work, including William.

The main means of connection between the Misty Valley and the Battle Valley is through the Asaba River. This river running through the valley and its branches are also the link of the entire valley alliance.As William traveled up the river, he hardly had to think about the direction of the road.He just needs to fly straight forward, and sooner or later he will reach the core area of ​​Misty Valley - Ashaban Beach.
