Heart of the Castle

Chapter 114 Rescue the Trapped Village

When the female knight recalled, her expression became a little excited from time to time, obviously thinking of the scenes of life and death fighting with the devil. Time passed in silence, and Miss Fraser's expression became more and more excited. When she finally spoke, her voice trembled a little.

"The village besieged by demons is called Mining Pit Village. It belongs to a retired officer's manor. Many of the residents were soldiers under his command back then, so the overall combat effectiveness is not bad. I have repelled small groups of demon attacks many times. Up One week later, demons appeared near the village again. I thought it was a small group of wandering demons, but I didn't expect it to be an army composed of goblins and orcs as cannon fodder, plus hundreds of little demons. A few adventurer sisters and I happened to be resting in the village, so we also participated in the battle to surround the village."

"Has it lasted for a week? It can block the siege of hundreds of little devils. That village's self-defense ability is very good." Sir Grace said with some disbelief.

A trace of anger flashed across Miss Frasier's face, but she still explained to him: "It's not what you imagined, the defense facilities in Mining Pit Village are very complete, and the retired officer built it in the way of an army camp, except for the tall In addition to the wooden wall, there are ditches and fences as protection. In the first two days of fighting, a large number of goblin cannon fodder fell in front of the wooden wall, and no one was able to rush in. But from the third day onwards, the attacks of the demons became more and more serious. Crazy, the wooden wall was hit many times by the fireballs of the incinerator, and finally there was a broken place. The villagers began to show serious casualties, and two of my sisters also lost their lives in the battle. The retired officer judged that if there were no reinforcements , the village could no longer hold on, so we discussed letting me, who is the strongest, rush out to ask for help."

"Hundreds of little devils? That's quite a large army. More importantly, how many big devils are there?" Li Wei said, his eyes flashed with a strange look. For him who has the heart of the castle, , the demon army is tantamount to a large amount of precious wealth.However, this wealth seems a bit tricky. How to get it smoothly requires careful planning.

"The big devils are very cunning. The battle has lasted for four days, but no big devil has been found on the battlefield at close range. However, the wooden walls of the mine village were destroyed by the fireballs of the burners. According to the number of fireball attacks In terms of frequency and frequency, there will be at least three incinerators." Miss Fletcher said.

"Since there are more than one incinerators, this demon troop should belong to a relatively regular troop. Otherwise, it's unlikely that these violent guys will get together on their own." Sir Grace expressed his judgment.

"Okay, let's discuss this later, Knight Grievous, how far is the mine village from our camp?" Levi asked a very critical question.

"I broke out from the encirclement of demons early this morning. I originally wanted to go directly to Viscount Lane's Castle for help, but just after arriving here, I passed out due to the onset of injuries. According to the speed and time I galloped on horseback, probably not It will take more than half a day's walk." The female knight silently calculated in her heart, and then said with confidence.

Tang Na obviously hurried back from training, the sweat on his body was not wiped off, and the linen shirt was stained with stains and sweat, but after listening to the female knight's narration, he was the first to frown .

"Master Li Wei, I once fought against the regular army of the devil when the evil disaster came last time. It was very difficult. According to the information provided by Frye... oh, the information provided by Knight Grievous, this army should belong to the devil. The size that is more common in regular troops is called Diboer according to the devil's name, which means more descriptions in the devil's language."

As Tang Na said, he took out a pipe from his arms, leaned close to the firepit, lit the tobacco, and took a deep breath. "Dibor, as a common size of the demon army, will definitely have a horned demon of the same level as the burner, and use it as a sharp point during the assault. If hundreds of little demons are entangled by the horned demon during the assault, I am afraid it is Li Wei My lord, your family fighters will also suffer heavy casualties, after all, their number is still a bit small."

With 12 spearmen and 8 archers, they have to deal with hundreds of little devils. This battle is very difficult no matter what.If you add the rough-skinned horned demon and the incinerator who is good at using fire spells, even without Tang Na's warning, Li Wei also knows that the odds of winning are reduced to a negligible level.

"By the way, Donna, Grace, how do you feel about the militia training?" Li Wei's question caused the two militia instructors to look at each other, followed by wry smiles on their faces.

"The training of the spear phalanx has not been completed yet. If we attack at this time, I am afraid it will not be of much use." Tang Na shook his head with disapproval and said, "Master Li Wei, I don't think this is a good time to take the initiative to attack. , as long as there is another half a month, I guarantee that I can train a sufficiently elite spear phalanx."

"The training of scouts and archers is not enough, and they can't even accept shooting orders in a timely and accurate manner." Sir Grace obviously disagreed with Levi's idea. He pressed down with his hand and said in a more emphatic tone: "Lord Li Wei, qualified archers are far more difficult to train than ordinary militiamen, and they can play a greater role in defense than ordinary militiamen. But if you go to the wild to fight demons, you may suffer great losses what."

A look of anxiety flashed across Miss Fraser's face.

As a knight and also an experienced adventurer, Miss Fleischer certainly knew very well that Donna and Grace had very good reasons.Not to mention the militiamen who have not yet completed their training, even the professional soldiers under the lords, when faced with the terrorist attacks of demons, the front line still often collapses.

However, there was absolutely no way to delay the situation in Mine Village. Before she broke through, the lord of Mine Village was seriously injured and could only be carried by a few attendants to direct the battle.What's even more troublesome is that most of the solid barriers of the mine village have been destroyed, and those wooden walls, fences and ditches are no longer able to play a protective role!

"It will take at least a week to complete all the training tasks. I'm afraid Mine Village won't last until then." Li Wei said with a serious expression: "The purpose of our attack this time is not to eliminate the demons who besieged Mine Village. Give them the illusion that there is a force strong enough to come to the rescue and they will retreat on their own."

"The problem is that there are hundreds of little demons. With the current combat power of the militia, it is not easy to withstand their first attack, and there is no way to deal them a lot of damage. In this case, as long as we confront each other, we The details of the situation have been completely exposed." Tang Na said forcefully.

"That's not the case. We don't need the militia and the demon army to confront each other head-on. In my plan, although the militia is an indispensable part, what is needed is not their combat effectiveness, but the strength brought by their numbers. Deterrent." Li Wei's young face was shining with excitement, and while he was explaining, he placed several wooden bowls beside the firepit.

"Look, my plan is like this..."

Following Li Wei's explanation, the expressions on the faces of several people around the fire pit changed.Sir Grace looked a little excited, his eyebrows twitched again and again; Donna didn't show any expression, but his slightly flickering eyes showed that he was thinking about the feasibility of this plan; Miss Fletcher's expression was the most surprised, her eyes blinked He stared at the wooden bowl on the ground without blinking, as if those were the most precious treasures.

"... That's it. What do you guys think of this plan?" After finishing his thoughts in one breath, Li Wei found that the people around him fell into silence, and couldn't help asking worriedly.

"Lord Levi, this plan is simply a genius idea!" Sir Grace clenched his fist and thumped the ground, exclaiming excitedly.

"If it can be carried out smoothly, the possibility of success is indeed very high, but if there are any omissions..." Tang Na's performance was much more stable. While thinking, he moved the wooden bowl in front of him.

"Master Li Wei, let's deduce what might happen together, shall we?"

Li Wei nodded in agreement, and the two of them started a battle deduction right next to the firepit, using wooden bowls as props.Sir Grace and Ms. Fleischer sat next to each other, presenting their opinions from time to time. A tactic that would make the devil suffer greatly in future battles slowly took shape in this simple wooden house.
