Phoenix Grand Lord

The third day after the battle at the bridgehead.

The situation outside the Merlin Valley has developed to an uncontrollable point.

Baron Edmund of Marigold and Viscount Miranden of Broken Star Valley went out in person and had a conversation across the border.

Baron Edmund first politely asked about the health of Viscount Miranden's mother.

Viscount Miranden also politely asked about the health of Baroness Edmund.

Even though the two sides were already on the verge of a fight, the false etiquette of the nobles could not be lost.

After asking about the health of their families, Baron Edmund took the lead in accusing Baron Miranden of killing his knights in his territory, which was an act of invasion.

Viscount Miranden bluntly accused Baron Edmund of condoning his knights to do evil and extorting 50 gold coins from the lord of the small manor in Merlin Valley for a bridge toll, which was an indecent act.

Viscount Miranden also said that he was doing justice for the young lord out of aristocratic virtues.

Baron Edmund said you are slandering me. You have robbed my business, killed my people, and insulted me. You must apologize.

Viscount Miranden said, dear baron, I am willing to go to your wife's bed and apologize vigorously.

Baron Edmund said, respected viscount, your toothless mother licked me really hard.

The two lords of considerable status cursed each other for a long time with "aristocratic decency", but neither of them took action easily.

Neither of them was stupid. They all knew that if a war of this scale really broke out, both sides would suffer losses.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

They were all waiting for the governor of the northwest border, the noble Earl of Red Jade, to mediate.

As long as the Governor of Red Jade came forward and gave them a little step, they could stop the confrontation.

But Earl of Red Jade had no intention of intervening at all.

The surrounding lords of titles also watched the excitement and did not mind the big things, and fanned the flames in various ways.

Viscount Miranden and Baron Edmund secretly complained in their hearts, and could only continue to stand against each other.

In the Merlin Valley Manor, there was another scene of construction in full swing.

The fortifications on the Merlin Valley side of the stone arch bridge have been built more than half.

The large granite mined from the nearby hills blocked the bridgehead passage tightly.

The 1.2 kilometer high stone is enough to prevent attackers from crossing easily.

On both sides of the bridgehead, the two wooden watchtowers are also nearly completed.

Both watchtowers are 3 stories high, with 3 kilometer on the bottom and 2 kilometer on the middle. Including the top of the tower, the total height reaches 7 kilometer.

These are also the two tallest buildings in the Merlin Valley Manor so far.

But if it is judged by the war standards, this can only be regarded as a simple watchtower.

If it encounters a regular army with a catapult, this kind of watchtower will be destroyed in minutes.

Fortunately, the first battle of Merlin Valley Manor was only a war between manor lords, and the Watch Lord could not have a catapult.

Otherwise, the first one who would be unable to sleep would be Edmund, the Marigold Lord.

Generally speaking, it takes at least a week to build a simple sentry tower for military purposes.

But all the serfs of Merlin Valley Manor were mobilized, plus three senior carpenters, so the construction efficiency was quite high.

According to the abilities of the serfs, some serfs were responsible for carrying wood, some serfs were responsible for cutting wooden boards according to the requirements of the carpenters, and some serfs were responsible for piling foundations and building skeletons.

Even the elderly, women and children who could not build towers were actively helping out, doing small jobs within their own abilities.

Rowe's 22 bell ringers were also building sentry towers, and they were the main force in building sentry towers.

Xia Liz proposed that the bell ringers should not spend time on building towers, but use this time for military training, so that when the war comes, the bell ringers will be more powerful.

But Rowe rejected Xia Liz's proposal.

Luo Wei's position in his mind is very clear: the bell-ringing army is not a regular army.

There will definitely be many arms in the future of Meiling Valley Manor, and the bell-ringing army is just one of them.

If the bell-ringing army is trained in the same way as the regular army, then if the equipment conditions are not enough, no matter how the bell-ringing army is trained, it will not be able to compete with the regular army.

The advantage of the bell-ringing army lies in their diverse strategic nature.

The bell-ringing army is a branch of the army that can both build and fight.

And learning to build towers is the advantage of the bell-ringing army, and it is also an advantage that no existing branch of the army in the world has!

This is also one of Luo Wei's long-term layout.

Although the sentry tower can be officially completed tomorrow, this progress is already very fast, but in Luo Wei's view, this infrastructure speed is still far from the infrastructure speed he is familiar with.

After all, Luo Wei came from the country of infrastructure maniacs on Earth, and the concept of infrastructure maniacs is deeply rooted.

Luo Wei analyzed that the reason why the tower construction progress was slow was not only because the number of bell ringers, who were the main force of the construction, was not enough, but also because the bell ringers were not skilled in carpentry.

The problem of proficiency can be improved by building more.

As for the number of bell ringers, it can only be done slowly.

Fortunately, there are many slaves in this world, whether they are purchased or captured through war, it is feasible.

…

At night, the work of building the tower continued, but the 22 bell ringers withdrew first.

After the bell ringers had a full dinner, Xia Liz led them to conduct additional military training.

Although it was only three days, the training results of these bell-ringing troops were still there.

At the very least, they could understand the commands in military terms and knew how to attack, charge, cover, and retreat.

Although they were not equipped with weapons or protective gear, the real focus was not their individual combat effectiveness, but how to use them in battle.

This depended on the commander's ability.

In addition to the progress of fortifications and the training of the bell-ringing troops, Luo Wei himself was not idle.

Luo Wei's only goal before the defense of Meilin Valley Manor was to strengthen and improve.

Luo Wei spent two consecutive days turning stones into gold, repairing two rune stones with a +1 increase in the flame element, and inlaying them on the wind-enchanted boots.

The level 1 wind-enchanted boots immediately became radiant and colorful.

The wind enchantment and the fire runes intertwined with each other, giving this pair of originally inconspicuous boots a brand new temperament.

After completing the inlay, Luo Wei concentrated his consciousness and insight again.

The moving range of the insight field of vision was stuck at 49 kilometer.

The Ash Sequence has not yet broken through to the Apprentice Level 3.

This is a little later than he expected.

This also shows that the higher the Ash Sequence is, the more difficult it is to practice.

Assassin Yabo made a third bottle of Level 2 antidote for him, but now it is difficult to break through the Ash Sequence barrier with just consuming Level 2 magic rations.

Seeing that the battle to defend Meilin Valley is coming, if you can't break through, it will be a bit unpleasant.

And if you want to break through quickly, you have to find a purer magic energy than the Level 2 antidote to absorb.

Or, find an opportunity like "Little Adventure" to stimulate yourself and break through the barrier.

But where can you find Level 3 magic energy intake now?

The bridgehead is closed, where can you go to encounter the opportunity of Little Adventure?

Luo Wei couldn't help but frowned.

At this time, Xia Liz, who had finished training the bell-ringing army, lifted the curtain of the lord's tent and walked in.

Xia Lizi's frosty face was solemn, "Master, I have something to tell you."
