Chapter 284 Three Attacks "Baron Olly?" Raymond looked at Ivan in surprise. He was dragged by Ivan early to inspect the surrounding environment, but he didn't know that in Ivan's team, except for Ivan, Besides, there is also a baron. |Super-speed update of text chapters|e^Looking at two barons in the same territory, this kind of thing is a bit strange. "Leymon, you are too impatient. Didn't I tell you not to worry?" Ollie's matter is difficult to explain, and Alvin didn't want to explain it, so he avoided the important and said, "Do you think I would be so cold-blooded as to watch my subordinates die?" "Uh, sorry, Lord Baron, I was too careful." Upon hearing this, Raymond had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and nodded. Ivan was not really confident before, but the camp was already very close to the entrance of the valley. After listening for a while, and then hearing Ollie's instructions that no support was needed, he was completely relieved, knowing that there was no need for support at the entrance of the valley. The battle was indeed not dangerous. Of course, this does not mean that the incoming enemy is overestimating its capabilities and does not pose a threat at all. It is just that due to various reasons, such as Ollie's powerful display, it cannot threaten the guard team at Taniguchi. "Don't take it to heart - how about we go take a look while the battle is not over yet?" Ivan suggested with a smile. I really had to go and take a look. Although I was not afraid that the troops would fail, I at least had to see how many casualties the team guarding the valley entrance had suffered after two days of absence. With Aiwen's invitation, he would have the opportunity to see the strength of Aiwen's subordinates. How could Raymond not be willing to do so? Even if he didn't have any crooked thoughts about Aiwen, he still had to guard against Aiwen having any crooked thoughts about him. If he hadn't been dragged further and further by Aiwen, and finally had to patrol the mountains for two days, Raymond would have found an excuse to go and observe the strength of Aiwen's men. So he quickly made an expression of "let's let you go for now" and sent his gathered men to work again. Raymond followed Ivan's footsteps and walked towards the mouth of the valley with the two third-level warriors. . Turning around a bulging hill, a group of four people saw the situation at the mouth of the valley from a distance. Most of the little devils selected by Ivan have magical talents in construction. After two days of construction day and night, a two-meter-high simple checkpoint has been built at the mouth of the valley nearly 20 meters wide in the distance. The vast majority of the level is made of sandstone, with only a small portion made of solid marble - apparently a result of Nieux's work. The marble part of the city wall is mainly located at the bottom of the city wall, which makes the foundation of the city wall solid and can be built higher. Most of the middle and upper layers of the city wall are still rough and mottled sandstone. Anyone can throw a gun, and professional soldiers can throw it within twenty meters. , you can make a transparent hole in this wall. This chapter is provided for you] But unfortunately, the effective shooting distance of the crossbow is two hundred meters. On the two-meter-high barrier wall, three heavy crossbows and more than 300 machine crossbows were set up. Among them, more than 200 machine crossbows faced the front of the barrier, while the remaining more than 100 machine crossbows faced the barrier. Finally, the mercenaries who were obviously on guard against Raymond suddenly turned against him. Among the densely packed machine crossbows, the crossbowmen were carefully operating the machine crossbows in front of them, while the little devils were equally busy shuttling between the many machine crossbows, seizing the time to load the empty crossbows that had already fired their crossbows. Load the crossbow. The crossbow string was tight and could not be pulled apart without much force. The little devils were weak and felt like they were grinding their teeth when loading the crossbow arrows. When Raymond saw the arrangement on the city wall in the distance, he felt unhappy and couldn't help but snorted. However, he also knew that it was normal for Aiwen's troops to do this. They had only known each other for two or three days. If you put down all your vigilance and treat others as comrades-in-arms, isn't that a clear temptation to stab others in the back? After snorting, Raymond's attention was attracted by the novel tactics on the city wall. The advantage of crossbows is that they can shoot arrows of the same power. Crossbowmen are much easier to train than archers. However, the disadvantage is that the shooting frequency is slow. Even a skilled crossbowman will take about ten seconds to fire a round of crossbow arrows. , but the average time for a skilled archer to shoot an arrow is only about 0.5 seconds. It's just that this shortcoming is not a problem in Ivan's eyes. He doesn't have many crossbows here, so he can use the three-stage matchlock gun in the Middle Ages in reverse, and one person can operate several machine crossbows. The advantage of using it this way is that it can increase the firing frequency by more than three times. When facing the enemy, hundreds of machine crossbows will rain down arrows. The disadvantage is that if the user does not understand the operation and does not maintain it, the loss of the machine crossbow will be too great. Ollie had been hanging around here for nearly a month, and there were quite a few teams that attacked and killed him. However, the number of crossbows captured in the end was less than 300. The reason was that the frequency of battles during that period was too high. Due to the intensive work and lack of maintenance, most of the captured crossbows were scrapped. Fortunately, he did not hesitate to use the captured machine crossbows. Although a large number of usable machine crossbows were scrapped in advance, Ollie also completely eliminated the Lionheart Mercenary.The members of the regiment have become a group of skilled crossbowmen. Ivan just explained the principle of three-stage strike to them. After about two days, they were already very experienced in using it. Therefore, unlike Raymond who was absent-minded, Alvin turned his attention to another place after he was a little happy that his guess could be perfectly applied on the battlefield. Not far behind the Taniguchi checkpoint, six short figures were dancing with something like a few dirty rags. After watching it intently for a few seconds, Alvin discovered that the crooked painting on the piece of cloth was the pattern of his noble emblem. "Lance?" Alvin's eyelids twitched repeatedly. What kind of plane was this guy and his five big-bellied women doing? "Hey, Lord Lord?" Lance was very sensitive. He turned around almost as soon as Ivan noticed him, saw Ivan and his party, and immediately shouted in surprise. Hearing Lance's call, a noisy response suddenly sounded from the city wall. Then after crying out in pain after being hit by an arrow, the soldiers who were the main force facing the enemy returned their attention to the battlefield. "What are you doing here?" Ivan first showed an encouraging smile to the little devils who were still cheering on the wall in the distance, then frowned and said angrily to Lance who came up to him, "Lance, are you Can you watch your comrades fighting, but hide alone in the safe rear? Where is your dignity as a male demon? " "Hey, ah, no, Lord, please listen to my explanation" Lance said clearly. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to come forward. Before the flattery started, he heard a series of accusations and his face suddenly turned pale. But after all, this person is able to stand on n broken boats that may capsize at any time, but he still remains standing. His thick skin is extraordinary. ¡°I have my own reasons, Lord,¡± Lance said sincerely. "What difficulties do you have?" Ivan said impatiently as he walked towards the checkpoint. "I can't put my life in danger easily, because, because, my life no longer belongs to me, but to you, Lord Lord. I need to stay useful and work hard to serve you, Lord Lord. Give birth to enough children," Lance said with great loyalty. "B-give birth to a child for the lord??" Raymond, who had been casually paying attention to the conversation between the two, almost suspected that he heard wrongly. He turned his head in surprise and looked at Lance again and again to confirm that he was a male. After the little devil, he immediately took a wrong step and took a small step away from Alvin. After thinking about it, his steps quietly slowed down and he took another small step away. Alvin didn't notice Raymond's abnormality, nor did he consider what was wrong with Lance's speech. He just suddenly got a hint from Lance's words. It seemed that Lance couldn't be wrong in doing so. He was in Alvin's plan. , which is not close to the combatants. It's not that Ivan doesn't want Lance to die, it's just that he firmly believes that a scum like Lance can only die on a good ship, or be killed by countless female little devils. If he died on the battlefield, Above that, then I have to give him the title of martyr. This is really inconsistent. "Even if your main task is not to participate in the battle, it doesn't matter if you stay far behind. At least go up and help carry the ordnance." Ai Wen still blamed without giving up. "But Lord, if you are carrying ordnance, you will be close to the city wall. If you are close to the city wall, you may be hit by arrows" The more Lance distinguished, the weaker his voice became. But in the end, he still mustered up the courage to say, "Sir, I I am also doing my part. My wives and I are waving flags and shouting from the back, cheering for the brothers and sisters fighting on the front." Are you a cheerleader? Ivan glanced at the broken flag in Lance's hand, and thought to himself that if there is such a bitch with a group of big-bellied women as cheerleaders behind the battle in the future, then the morale of others will not be known, he My morale must have dropped extremely quickly. "How can you still go to the battlefield when you are pregnant? How did you become a husbandForget it, I don't count on you anymore about the battle. You should take them to the rear to help with some chores." Ivan finally shook his head. road. Although Lance was allowed to safely expand the harem in the rear, he had to fight hard in the front. Ivan felt a fire burning in his heart and wanted to vent it out, but compared to this guy who specifically vented his own morale on the battlefield, We might lose some key battles, so it would be safer to throw them to the rear, at least out of sight and out of mind. "Lord" Lance didn't know why. He only said that Alvin cared about his pregnant wives, so his eyes filled with tears and he was inexplicably grateful. Walking to the foot of the city wall, Ollie held his robe in hand, jumped down from the hillside on one side, and stood next to Alvin. "What are the casualties of the troops?" Ivan stepped aside and asked first. ¡°Only fourteen warriors were wounded by arrows.??But none of the injuries were fatal, and he could still continue to fight. "Oli simply replied. "That's it? "Aiwen felt relieved, and then felt a little incredible, "Is this the first battle since we entered the Lion Heart Valley? "That's not true," Ollie shook his head. "It's just that when the human troops discovered the changes on our side, our city wall had basically taken shape. Although the city wall made of sandstone can only defend against long-distance bows and arrows, it often They can't afford a close-range gravity strike, but this is enough. After all, in order to cause a lot of damage to our side, first of all, their number of people must be able to break through the blockade of two hundred crossbows. "
