The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 113 Placement
Allen, who was thinking, was not thinking about whether to help these people, but thinking about how to arrange them.

After walking around the stronghold in the canyon, Allen hardly found any young and middle-aged men over 15 years old and under 50 years old. It can be said that the real old, young, women and children were left behind.

Wilderness Town was supplemented by people from the three villages brought by Hank, and with the addition of some northerners who fled back brought back by Alan, it was basically saturated. It is not far to open up a village.

Although Allen has always had this kind of thought in mind, and previously let those artisans rescued from the orc town start this job, but Allen roughly estimated that there are at least 3000 to [-] people hiding in this canyon.

It is simply unrealistic to put all of them in one village, so they must be required to build a village from scratch, which is too difficult for these women. If some heavy manual labor is done by them, it is easy to appear. accident, but the problem is that Alan can't spare any more young adults to help them.

"Auston, I can help you find a suitable place to live, but I just want to ask, do you have to live together?"

"My lord, no need, these people originally came from different places, um"

Auston was talking, and quietly observed Allen's expression, wanting to see if the lord was embarrassing, but he didn't see anything else from the eyes full of pity.

"If possible, I still hope that you can let people from different places live together. They are familiar with each other, and they can settle down faster with mutual help."

After Allen heard that they didn't need to be placed together, he didn't feel so embarrassed. He nodded and said to Oston: "Yes, then go and inform your friends and let their clansmen prepare to move. While the Dongyi people are staring at other places, we still have enough time, if they really take root in this land after they come back, then it will be too late to do anything."

Oston was greatly relieved when he heard that Allen agreed to help his people, and then he bowed gratefully to Allen and said, "Thank you for your help, we will prepare right away."

Allen nodded, observing this hidden canyon.

This is such a canyon that appeared in the center of two hills. If you want to enter, you must first find a crack in a small forest, and then face several forks before you finally come to this canyon.

There are very few places here that can accommodate residents. About [-] northerners hide here, making this canyon look very messy and crowded, but if it is only used as a temporary hiding place for a small army, this place is simply too suitable.

Looking at the terrain here, Allen considered whether to place a cavalry brigade here in the future to scout the enemy's intelligence in the days to come, and implement harassment tactics if possible. After all, Fatis told Allen before, These Dongyi people's use of cavalry is very rough, and their strength is very weak.

Just as Allen was thinking, Oston had already gathered with his friends. If these people were adults who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, they probably wouldn't accept Allen's offer so easily. Help, even to say that she would not rashly initiate a request to a stranger.

They have only been in contact with Alan for a few days, and they have only heard of Alan's reputation from their parents before, but it is precisely because they are now at the age of adoring the strong and trusting others, coupled with this From time to time, they passively inherited the pressure of managing the tribe from their parents, which also drove them to hold on to the straw of Allen at this moment.

It's just that things are not going so smoothly in their hands. They are young and easy to trust others, but they have not yet grown beards on their mouths, and it is difficult for them to be trusted by others, even if their father was once the leader of these people.

Moreover, the news brought back by these young people is too painful. The annihilation of the whole army means that at least one pillar of each family has died, and some families even have two or three. On the first day of coming here At night, Allen barely fell asleep amidst all the crying.

And those who are too sad can't trust their lord's heir at all like before.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for Auston and the others to find it difficult to carry out their work. The vast majority of people have the courage they did not have before and rejected the relocation proposal proposed by Auston and the others.

It is difficult for these people who have not received much education to leave this relatively stable place now, and most of them will not consider what to do after they run out of food. What they think more at this moment is, The enemy is extremely powerful, it is very safe here, there is still a lot of food, and it is a day to be able to hide.

In such an ideological atmosphere, these young people spent a whole day, and only a few hundred people were willing to leave with them.

Allen, who watched all this, was forced to temporarily lend his men to Oston and others in desperation, and at the same time told these young people that if it still didn't work, they could consider force deterrence.

If he had a choice, Alan was not willing to use such a method, but he didn't want to mean that he didn't understand. After he came to Middle-earth, his journey was smooth and smooth, and he didn't experience too many intrigues, but he In my previous life, I had seen more and had a certain understanding of human nature.

Coercion by force must be more effective than greeting with a smile, because fear is a very strong driving force for human beings, but the side effects of doing so are also very large. As long as you use it once, you are likely to become addicted. Prefer using violence to solve it, because violence is really fucking easy to use.

But Alan didn't want to let himself become like that. Violence represents absolute oppression and will plant seeds of resistance in the hearts of the oppressed. No one knows when these seeds will become towering trees, and when the time comes, chaos It is inevitable, and it will also cause more violence, and then a vicious circle will be formed, allowing more strength and energy to be wasted in internal friction.

Therefore, Allen never wanted to use violence to solve problems.

It's just that he really doesn't have much time to waste here with these people. After dealing with these things, he has to rush to Changhu Town, but he is unwilling to let go, leaving these people here to wait for their inevitable death As a result, Alan, who was helpless, began to try to let his subordinates play the role of some villains.

Sure enough, under the threat of swords, things went much smoother. It only took two days for most people to prepare for the relocation. If they are willing to leave here, Allen will no longer force them. If there are very few people, they can survive in this place forever. There is still land to support hundreds of people here.

After Alan left enough supplies, he led the others away under the hesitant eyes of those people. Of course, Alan would not really kill these people because of their non-cooperation, just scare them.

According to the map in his mind, Allen knows that this canyon is about 100 kilometers away from Heidelberg. within the sphere of influence.

Allen doesn't have so much time. At this time, the Dongyi army led by Ashur is likely to have approached Changhu Town. He needs to rush there as soon as possible to participate in the war as soon as possible, otherwise he who provided the news , before the enemy has rushed to the place first, it is difficult to say the past.

For this reason, after leaving the forest in front of the canyon, Allen handed over 2000 old, young, women and children to Fatis, and asked him to take these people to rest in Heidelberg first, and then moved from Jungle Road to Wilderness Town, and Ask Fatis to convey his general thoughts on these people to Jamila.

In Allen's impression, the proportion of the population in Wilderness Town at this time has been seriously out of balance, and more than half of the young and strong have been conscripted into the army and pulled to the front line of Heidelberg.

If you want to stay, you can leave a tribe of about a thousand people in the village near the old ferry. At that time, most of the people rescued from the half-orc town were young and middle-aged men. , can't survive at all.

With the addition of these women and children, they can form a family for the second time. In addition, the people of Hongye Town in Malhebi have completely migrated here, and they have not suffered much loss. If they want, they can also Accept some people.

As for the rest, Allen plans to pass through the Woodland Kingdom and place them in Changhu Town, where there is a real waste of time, and no matter whether they are young or not, they can find a suitable job.

After making the arrangements, Fatis took fifty cavalrymen and Alan's order, and led a huge migration team to Heidelberg, while Alan took the remaining cavalry and his own guards. , and began to run wildly in the direction of Changhu Town.

A few days later, Allen crossed the rushing river from a shoal, and headed along the forest towards the long lake. At this time, Allen suddenly saw the figure of the elf at the edge of the forest.

These elves were specially sent by Thranduil to investigate the area of ​​the River Run. The line from Long Lake Town to the Jungle Road is the place that the Woodland Kingdom needs to be responsible for.

Originally, these elves were hiding very well, and they would never be discovered by Alan and others who were running. After they recognized Alan, they came out to say hello to Alan. At the same time, they also conveyed a message to Alan. The kingdom is ready for enemy aggression.

Apart from looking familiar, Alan didn't recognize the identity of the elves in front of him. After all, they are all handsome men and beautiful women, and it's easy to be distracted. Facing the greetings from the woodland elves, Alan didn't stop too much, but Nodding to the scouting team, they headed for Long Lake along the bank of the Running River again.

Two days later, Allen and his party finally approached the Long Lake, and from a distance they saw the defensive camp built by the dwarves at the angle between the west bank of the Long Lake and the north bank of the Jungle River.

At this time, this defensive stronghold has been built decently by the dwarves. A simple pier connects the camp with the Long Lake and the Jungle River. An arrow tower is placed on both sides of the pier. The dwarf warriors on the arrow tower, Keep an eye on the Dongyi people who have just begun to gather on the other side.

At this time, several small boats were starting from the pier of the camp and heading towards the direction of the dense forest road. If nothing else, they should be humans who were preparing to inform the dense forest road that the enemy had already stationed near the long lake.

In addition to the pier, this camp has two other gates, one of which is opened to the southwest, and a simple bridge across the dense forest river is connected to the gate of the camp. The elves of the Black Forest Mountains entered the camp for defense as quickly as possible, or sent soldiers to support the elves who were good at fighting in the forest.

The other was opened in the north, so that the dwarves who came from the direction of the lonely mountain could enter the camp more conveniently. After all, after the Dongyi people approached, it was too dangerous to go retrograde in the river. The only choice.

The walls of the camp are surrounded by rough logs nearly three meters high, and behind the wooden walls are wooden frames made by dwarves, which can make it very convenient for the dwarves to resist the enemy's attack on the wall. At the same time, these wooden frames A part of it is deeply buried in the ground, which increases the ability of the wall to resist impact.

At intervals between the walls, there is a five-meter-high arrow tower. Soldiers on the arrow tower can also overlook the surrounding environment to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack on the camp.

Outside the wall is a trench with a width and depth of about two meters. In the trench are densely cut extremely sharp wooden thorns. As long as a person falls at this depth, he will be injured by these wooden thorns. At the same time, the trench is still far away. The river is very close. As long as the dwarves are willing, they can dig the river at any time and introduce water into the trench to form a simple moat.

Since part of the edge of the camp was replaced by the Long Lake and the Jungle River, nearly a thousand dwarves, with the help of hundreds of humans, completed the initial construction of this huge camp in just a few months. The next step may be to build some trebuchets, or build some work that can place the crossbow platform.

Of course, Allen spent money to ask the dwarves to make these things. After the war, the new Changhu Town will be built on the basis of this camp. These defensive weapons are more important to Allen. The more the better.

At noon that day, Allen led his men into the camp through a simple bridge over the Jungle River, and at the same time Allen arrived at the same time as a goat cavalry led by Chili, who had just returned from patrol.

Qili came here from the Lonely Mountain with dozens of goat cavalry a week ago. At this time, all the dwarves who originally lived in the Iron Hills had migrated to the Lonely Mountain. Some of the few dwarven cavalry were dispatched.

Their main task was to patrol the waters of the rushing river at the distance from Long Lake to Lonely Mountain, so as to prevent the enemy from crossing the river silently. Qili divided the cavalry into several teams, and his team had just returned from patrolling.

After seeing Allen, Kili, who had just placed his mount properly, waved to Allen. At the same time, the old man Bahrain who received the news also came out of a barracks in the camp, and behind Bahrain was Ironfoot Dyne.

"Alan, here."

Without Kili's shout, Alan, who had just got off his horse with sweat on his face, immediately saw his dwarf friends.

He asked his personal guard captain Horimion to take the other soldiers first to settle down in the human living area of ​​the camp, while he strode towards his dwarf friend.

At the same time, he said loudly: "My friends, at this dangerous moment, it is really a reassuring and happy thing to be able to see this camp and see your figures."
