Noble Emblem

While walking up the mountain, Liang Lidong also saw several patrol teams. These people were wearing leather armor that was light but had good defensive capabilities. Holding a crossbow. In the game "Flanland", the one-handed mace has almost become a standard equipment for human infantry. This weapon is easy to make, not easy to damage, and it is also very powerful. No matter what type of armor it encounters, it can be struck with one hammer. Everyone has a reaction, unlike long sword weapons, if it is not a magic weapon and does not have weapon specialization skills, if it touches a steel can and hits it with a sword, the only thing that will break is the long sword itself.

The hand crossbow is a very expensive long-range weapon. It costs a lot to equip several such patrols, but it can also be seen that Uther's defense of the gold mine is quite strong.

When we arrived at the entrance of the mine, there was still a garrison of more than a hundred people. The equipment is better than that of the patrol. They even built towers and small bunkers near the entrance of the cave, giving a complete look of military management. Such a garrison force would be difficult to sustain without a militarized organization. Of course, it would be another matter if a special organization with hundreds or thousands of professionals could be formed at will, like the players' guild.

As soon as they arrived near the mine, a man who looked like a middle-aged butler came over with a booklet. Uther looked at it for a while, and then said: "Let Peter bring the other booklet, and we will check it as a routine." one time."

The middle-aged housekeeper took the order and left. At this time, the city lord's wife approached Liang Lidong and asked: "Your Excellency Beta, what do you think of this guard arrangement? Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Liang Lidong shook his head: "No need, there is no better defensive force than this. Besides, I'm not good at leading troops in war, so it doesn't make much sense for you to ask me for my opinion?"

"Really?" The city lord's wife nodded noncommittally: "But Your Excellency gives me a feeling that not only do you know how to lead troops to fight, but you are also a general who has experienced hundreds of battles."

Liang Lidong shrugged: "You praise me too much!"

Although Liang Lidong was a lord, in fact he didn't really know how to fight. However, at that time, Tamo had several NPC subordinates who were very good at war, so every time there was a war, he only had to let these subordinates deduce the battle situation in advance, and then he would implement the war strategy. Moreover, as a mediocre professional, although he is indeed slightly weak against players of the same level, in war, mediocre players have great advantages. Their fighting methods can adapt to changes. Most importantly, as a god, As a descendant of the nobles, you will randomly receive two military strategy specialties in the middle and later stages. To put it more bluntly, they are range auras, which can slightly enhance the strength of surrounding friendly forces. These halo skills are of little significance when the number of people is small, but when the number of people is large, the effect is completely different.

A lord who has good strength, can fight on the front line, and can be resurrected infinitely... For soldiers, there is nothing that can boost morale more than this. Therefore, when Liang Lidong led his troops to fight, as long as traps, tricks and other factors were eliminated, he would directly lead his troops to fight. High morale can be transformed into powerful combat effectiveness. Moreover, Liang Lidong also has a range of aura skills, so the combat effectiveness of his direct troops is extremely strong. His proudest battle is to lead two thousand cavalry to directly attack the opponent's 10,000 formation. One attack directly cut through the opponent's formation, and the second attack killed the opponent's commander. Then the remaining few thousand people fled in all directions like migrating antelopes on the grassland.

The city lord's wife sighed cutely: "Excessive self-effacement is not a good quality. It will only be called hypocrisy."

"But I really don't know how to fight." Liang Lidong spread his hands and looked helpless.

The city lord's wife rolled her eyes at Liang Lidong, and then followed her husband into the mine, with Liang Lidong following closely behind. Because mining requires efficiency, the originally narrow passage has been widened by at least six meters, and now more than a dozen people can walk down side by side without feeling crowded. Many bare-armed laborers came out of the cave carrying loads of gravel and soil. They poured the waste at the entrance of the cave, and then were taken over by people waiting outside and transported to other places for dumping.

The three of them kept walking downwards, and soon Liang Lidong discovered that the mine tunnel had actually been divided into three, and dark golden light could be seen looming on the stone walls of the tunnel along the way. The gold content of this gold mine is higher than he imagined. No wonder the two guilds in the game fight so hard. If converted into real currency, hundreds of top executives of the two guilds can become multi-millionaires in minutes. .

On the left side of Sancha Road, there is a hollowed-out area that looks like a basement. Not only does it have a door, it also has tables and chairs, wall lamps, and an inner room. Liang Lidong feels that there is something inside the inner room. , there must be a big bed and a washing space.

After the three of them entered, the city lord closed the door and sat down on the main seat. Then he asked Liang Lidong to sit down and said, "I invite you to come here this time. Actually, I want to ask you to help me think of a solution! We have met Some troublesome things, after all, the gold mine is related to the interests of all of us, you should not just care about staying in the countryside to enjoy your happiness."

"Okay, I've already guessed that something like this will happen, please tell me." Liang Lidong sighed helplessly.

Uther tapped the table with rough fingers and said: "Because the news about our development of gold mines here has spread, many forces are now sending spies here. They usually don't show up during the day, but at night, the situation becomes... It's different. Although the spies and scouts they sent are not too powerful, the more times they come, the more our personnel begin to suffer losses. Besides, they can't sleep well every night, which has a negative impact on their morale. It was a big blow. And lack of sleep is a big problem. I can’t see anything wrong with it now, but I know very well that people who don’t get enough rest for a long time will have a very bad temper. I’m afraid it will lead to this in the future. A greater disaster.”

People without thought, he must worry about. Uther's worries were reasonable. Liang Lidong thought for a while and said, "In fact, it's not too difficult... Just set up a large magic defense array near here. Everything will be as normal during the day, and the magic array will be activated at night. , wouldn’t it be enough to leave some more soldiers to take turns keeping watch?”

"Putting up a magic circle that's the same as the castle?" Uther was a little embarrassed: "It costs too much and takes a long time. The most important thing is that we don't have enough spellcasters to set up the magic circle. Back then, our Langman family When I became the city lord, the royal family sent over a dozen spellcasters, and it took half a month to set up the magic circle."

The city owner's wife said: "Since Mr. Beta suggested that we use the magic circle, there must be a way to shorten the time of the magic circle, right?"

"That's true." Liang Lidong said: "What you have set up in your castle is a strategic large-scale magic array, and what I have set up is a medium-sized general-purpose magic array. Although the protective effect is not as good as the magic array in your castle, it is not far behind." Where to go? The most important thing is that the process of making this kind of magic circle is simple and does not require any materials. It only costs about three hundred gold coins to complete."

Uther said excitedly: "It seems that you are indeed proficient in all kinds of magic. Although my daughter has studied in the Red Magic Tower for several years, she has not learned any other magic knowledge except various fire magics. Sir Beta , then please help us set up the magic circle. When the matter is completed, I will be grateful."

"If I am alone, the progress will be a bit slow." Liang Lidong continued: "I hope Babara can come to help. It is also best to call Karl's female student. Although she is not very capable, one more person will always help. It’s multiple strengths.”

Uther was a little worried: "Babala doesn't seem to understand the knowledge of magic circles. I'm afraid she will hold you back."

Liang Lidong said: "It doesn't matter, I can teach you. Babara is not stupid, she can learn it."

"Okay! That's it." Uther was a little excited. Now he has solved another troublesome thing. The most important thing is that the construction of magic circle is a very advanced knowledge. Ordinary spellcasters have no chance to learn even a superficial knowledge. , Babara followed Beta to build a magic circle. Even if he couldn't learn it, he could at least lay a foundation.

Liang Lidong thought for a moment and said, "Babala and I are staying here these days, but if the two of us with anti-assassin abilities are gone, what will happen to the safety of your castle?"

"Strengthen the vigilance!" Uther shrugged: "Let the soldiers in the castle work in three shifts. Anyway, it only takes a few days, and they can hold on. If it doesn't work, just open the magic circle under the castle and wait for a while. "

At this time, the closed door was opened, and the middle-aged housekeeper came over holding a book and said: "City Lord, the record book has been brought over."

Uther pointed: "Put it on the table."

At this time, another soldier walked in from the door. He said anxiously: "City Lord, a group of noble carriages came outside the city just now. They claimed to be the royal envoys. They are now heading towards the castle. They have probably arrived at the castle by now. "

Royal envoy? Uther was a little surprised. What were they doing in Winterwind City, a barren border city at this time? Don't you know about the gold mine?
