    Amidst the roaring sound, the Falcon Crown flag was trembling in the strong wind.  Within the wooden wall under the flag, a group of Lucians were busy preparing for the trebuchets and ballistae.  This kind of special siege equipment has no properties that will never wear out.  Each launch is a serious reduction in their lifespan.  After today¡¯s series of stone bomb attacks, the ropes on the siege equipment have become loose, and there are some cracks in the booms.  Even the bearings cast from pig iron showed varying wear.  If not repaired, these things will fall apart after a few times.  Replace ropes made of animal tendons and fur.  Use secondary restoration to address small cracks in the wood and minor wear on the cast iron bearings.  The remaining craftsmen were checking the specifications of the stone bullets, and if they were different, they would take out their tools and adjust them again.  The logs as thick as a bowl are planed with a plane after removing the branches.  One end is sharpened and hardened, and then coated with tung oil and special fire-retardant paint.  It has become the most convenient building material for camp walls - since the emergence of this semi-standardized building template that can be reused, most ordinary armies often use flatbed trucks to pull these logs when traveling long distances.  Of course, real wealthy people often have a series of magical camps that use supernatural powers.  That kind of camp can be constructed quickly and easily at a constant speed, and its protective capabilities are far beyond what such wood can match.  Unfortunately, the high cost has prevented it from being promoted on a large scale. Although there are arrangements in the Kingdom of Lucia, it is impossible to equip these non-core armies.  But even with such portable construction materials, a camp that can accommodate thousands of people cannot be built in a short time.  Therefore, Camp Lucia was divided into the outer camp and the inner camp - their dividing line was a wall made of logs.  The outer camp is mainly used to house local troops, baggage troops, servant troops recruited from small countries and grassland tribes in the west, and leading parties recruited from the Kingdom of Cruze.  The inner camp is the place where elite troops, professional craftsmen, and those who cast spells conduct their daily activities.  In the center of the camp, there is a tent that is much larger than other similar tents. The satin fabric is made of silk in red, white, and blue colors.  The curtain at the door has Ashkenazi-style tassels made of silk, while two imposing guards outside the door are staring straight ahead.  At the same time, the two unguarded soldiers were also wearing red, white, and blue linen smocks. From the occasionally exposed material, it can be seen that the clothes underneath the smocks should be chain mail.  However, apart from the swords on their waists and the face-covering helmets, it is not possible to see what other equipment they have.  After having a long discussion in the camp, Officer Lucia filed into the tent.  Contrary to expectations, although there are only one or two windows, the lighting inside this tent is obviously better than most common tents.  However, the three magic lamps blessed with eternal flames hanging under the roof of the tent explained this.  As the only tent that does not require bowing to enter, the space inside does not give people a feeling of depression.  Behind the table in the center of the tent, an old man with a gray beard looked at the map on the long table and moved the stick.  With the movement of his body, the cloak showed the beauty of naturally hanging folds.  "I'm very sorry. Today's plan was a complete failure. Not only did we fail to take the city head, we didn't even manage to consume much of Camplin City's troops." A young officer who had just entered the tent lowered his head.  He said with a ringing sound in his head.  Then the old man sternly scolded: "Look up! No matter what happens, if you lose your momentum first, you will lose half the battle. Although I have heard the specific situation from the herald, as frontline commanders, you  Start reporting your views! " "Yes! Yes! About today's battle" Then the Lucia officer, who lowered his head, immediately raised his head, like a primary school student handing in his homework.  It seems not difficult to see from here that Lucia obviously uses Camplin City as a training ground to train these inexperienced newcomers.  Because in the eyes of the Lucians, it is a certainty that they will take over the demilitarized town of Camplin.  That's why they chose to let those inexperienced young officers lead the battle here under the leadership of the veterans.  As for the losses of ordinary soldiers, in the eyes of the Lucians, they are naturally not as important as the growth of noble officers.  "The original plan went relatively smoothly. The guys in Camplin City even had to use a trump card. Only the berserkers who had never appeared before were able to maintain the stability of the battle line." Then another man with a curly hair  The blond young man also spoke, "We have been prepared for this, that guy just showed?How long did it take to lose combat effectiveness in the blow?  As for whether he can survive, our information is not clear yet.  " "If it weren't for those damn cavalry who suddenly appeared, we might have opened the gate of Camplin City by combining our top and bottom.  "The Lucia officer at the beginning said it quite angrily at this time. With his excited tone, his chest rose and fell while tightening the carved buttons. After listening to the statements of these young people,  After that, the expression of the older Lucia officer did not change at all: "So regarding today's failure, do you think you have anything to review?  " With these words, the Lucia officers who originally had different expressions fell into the ice cave one by one, as if they had been driven out of their homes in winter and endured the baptism of the cold current. Obviously, this opportunity could not be given by the performance just now.  The old man in front of him was satisfied, but the majesty of the other party was enough to make these young people feel uneasy. ¡°I, we should not rely entirely on the surveillance of the falcons, and we should deploy rangers responsible for reconnaissance around the long perimeter.  In this way, even if those cavalry launch an attack, we can detect them in time and make preparations.  "At this time, a Lucia officer with brown eyes and a little stubble forced his answer to be serious. But you can still hear the uneasiness from his tone. It seems that even if this answer is not his temporary  At least he didn¡¯t think about it for a long time. ¡°Is that all there is to it?  "It took a long time to hear such an unfavorable answer. The old man was obviously quite unhappy. And after hearing his almost questioning words, several Lucia officers who were originally silent felt that their  The hair stood on end - in a moment, their clothes all stuck to their backs. It seemed that fear stimulated their cerebral cortex, and the young man with curly blond hair immediately said eagerly: "Maybe we should be here.  When attacking a city, some defensive infantry phalanxes were arranged on both sides of the siege force.  At the same time, let the reserve team in the camp be ready.  In this way, even if there is any emergency situation, it will not be as weak as it was just now.  " "Although it's not complete, it's pretty good.  "The expression on the old man's face finally showed some relief. After seeing that the wrinkles seemed to be reduced a lot, the young officers who were scared to death secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. The atmosphere was no longer there.  After being as bad as before, the officer who lowered his head at the beginning mustered up the courage to ask: "Master Mikhail, do you know the news about the cavalry who suddenly broke into the battlefield today?  " "I don't know the specifics now, and I need more information to confirm their situation.  But what is certain is that those guys are not Cruzes.  It's not that Cruze doesn't have cavalry of this caliber, but they are all under the surveillance of our intelligence personnel and it is impossible for them to suddenly appear here.  "The old man's words were categorical, and he was obviously very confident in his side's intelligence infiltration work. "In this case, it should be the army of the Kingdom of Norhan.  The national art of declaring war had just been sent, and their soldiers had already reached it.  It looked like it was definitely a premeditated action.  "The officer who was stroking his beard immediately made such a guess. Then the blond officer tilted his head: "Nohan's side?  According to this number, it is not something that just any lord can send out.  The royal family of Nohan, Marquis Malkin, Viscount Boreham" "This guy obviously has some research on Nohan's information, so he can be said to be knowledgeable when reporting suspicious targets. "But it may also be from the south.  The large mercenary group recruited!  "It seems that they don't want this companion to be preeminent, and then someone next to him raised a different opinion. It seems that these people are trying hard to show themselves in front of the old man. The elder named Mikhail waved his hand  : ¡°Based on what you saw, Uhtred and Notson¡¯s guesses are possible.  But what I can be sure of is that there was a knight in that cavalry regiment who never took action.  Therefore, they will definitely not be members of the mercenary group, but regular troops from the Kingdom of Nohan.  " "Another knight has arrived.  "After hearing this, the young Lucia officers all took a deep breath. Although these young people are quite arrogant, they still have a very rational understanding of the knight as a war weapon.  At this time, General Mikhail also felt that he might have gone too far: "Okay!  Look, it scares you.  We have made plans for encountering similar situations before taking action. As long as the person on the other side is not a great knight, we will not be too passive.  "Although they were a little skeptical about General Mikhail's words, after hearing what Chang said, the emotions of the Lucia officers were calmed down."?? Few.  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªBeijing is indeed not an easy place to live, I will make up for it tomorrow¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª In the slightly dark stone house, the sunlight shines through a bow-shaped window on the wall.  A corner.  In the diffuse light, a young man can be seen sitting cross-legged on the bed, with the fingers of his hands folded at the intersection of his feet.  Breathing is slow and regular.  After a while he got up and got out of bed and started patting all over his body.  "Bang-bang-bang-" followed by three short knocks on the door came, "Master Qiaoji-Master Qiaoji-it's time for breakfast." This was a slightly naive female voice.  "I understand, Elena, please go down and get a basin of water and bring a towel with you." The young man named Qiaoji turned to her and told her through the door: "By the way, ask the chef to prepare two more for today's breakfast.  A piece of bacon." After saying this, the boy continued what he had just done and slapped his body.  From a modern medical perspective, this practice relaxes the muscles while speeding up the discharge of acid from the muscles.  When Georgie finished his rest, he picked up a two-finger-thick book from the table in the room, leaned on the bed and flipped through the pages.  "This is the tenth time I have read this book. Next time I go to Kadala, I must go to the library to buy a few more books." Thinking of the rarity and expensiveness of books in this world, the young man couldn't help but complain.  At the same time, he recalled his failed papermaking experiment.  Reading was one of Qiaoji¡¯s few hobbies before traveling through time.  But in this era when papermaking was underdeveloped and printing disappeared, books were indeed a luxury product.  Even with his current status, he cannot read as much as he wants.  "Master Qiaoji, can I come in?" The voice of the girl from before came from outside the door.  As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy iron wood was slowly pushed away.  I saw a girl holding a dark copper-colored metal basin in both hands and holding a towel in her right hand.  She pressed her left shoulder against the wooden door, one leg slightly bent, and her body tilted toward the door.  ??A dark black one-piece waist-length skirt, with the hem covering the upper.  Long sleeves with cuffs allow for easy movement and help prevent chafing.  The piping white apron not only gives people a clean and capable feeling, but also is practical.  The most important thing is to match it with the original dark-colored clothes to show unique vitality in the contrast.  Under the bangs parted in the middle, a pair of big blue eyes blinked.  White and straight teeth are rare in this era, which is the main reason why she became Georgie's personal maid.  Her brown hair was combed neatly, but still a little hairy, and tied into a ponytail with a band.  At the same time, a few freckles on the face bring a bit of playful color to it.  After the girl arranged the toiletries neatly, she knelt down and looked at the young man who was reading with a smile: "Master, can you wash up and change clothes?" "Let's get started, but I have to say something. Elena, help me comb my hair.  Be careful and don't rub your scalp all the time," Georgie tried to remind.  ¡°I know¡ªMaster, I¡¯ll be careful this time.¡± Elena blinked and held Georgie¡¯s arms in front of her chest, shaking them.
