Phoenix Grand Lord

Lowei's lunch today is: a plate of milk mushroom soup, a portion of cheese spring meat, and a large piece of wheat-baked wheat-flavored white bread.

Milk mushroom soup is made by mixing fresh milk and shiitake mushrooms, with rock salt, long pepper and a little butter.

Although it looks simple, the seasonings are very precious and only the lord can enjoy it.

The second dish, cheese spring meat, is chicken and pork cooked, mixed with white bread crumbs and mashed into meat filling, and then mixed with sour cheese, rock salt, honey, and saffron.

It looks a bit disgusting.

However, this is a meat dish, and only the lord can eat it.

After the silverware was set, Susan, the maid with a wide collar, smiled at her lord.

"Master, please enjoy it."

"Yes." Lowei gritted his teeth and picked up the knife and fork to eat.

To be honest, Lowei was very adaptable to everything in the Regan world, and could even be described as a fish in water.

The only thing that Luo Wei couldn't adapt to was the diet.

These things called "vegetables" didn't look good and didn't taste good!

The milk smelled fishy, ​​and the spring meat was bloody...

Luo Wei reluctantly ate a few bites, then pushed the plate aside and ate the white bread.

"Master, your appetite doesn't seem to be very good recently."

Maid Susan puffed up her not-so-high chest with affection, "Do you want me to feed you?"

Luo Wei waved his hand quickly, "No, you can finish the rest for me."

After that, Luo Wei got up and walked out of the lord's tent, heading to the bridge to check the progress of the sentry tower.

Maid Susan happily picked up a piece of sour and smelly cheese, dipped it in the spring meat juice, and put it into her mouth to taste it with great enjoyment.

"Oh~ Such a delicious dish, the master actually left it for me on purpose."

"I understand, the master must be showing his love to me."

"When can the master touch me roughly again?"

...

...

The construction of the twin towers at the bridgehead was finally completed on schedule before 2 pm.

Although the wood was lost "inexplicably" last night, fortunately the lord "discovered it in time" and finally did not delay the construction period.

The craftsmen and serfs were very grateful to meet the lord who "could help".

Two 7-kilometre-high sentry towers stood on both sides of the fortifications, which looked quite inspiring at first glance.

The wooden boards were spliced ​​very firmly, and each sentry tower could accommodate at least 20 people fighting on the tower.

The most important thing is that the strategic location of these two sentry towers is excellent, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As long as there is no catapult or magician, these two sentry towers can fully withstand the attack of the manor lord level.

With these two sentry towers, the battle to defend the Merrill Valley Manor was already half won.

Why can't it be considered a complete victory?

Because the serfs in the Merrill Valley Manor not only lacked combat experience, but also lacked combat weapons.

The senior blacksmith in the manor was already working hard to forge weapons, but equipping hundreds of people would not be completed in a day or two.

Although Luo Wei could use the "Phoenix Conservation" to capture and exchange crude iron ore, it was only one day, and there was not enough fir wood, so he had no time to exchange it.

What's more, even if there was iron ore, it would not be enough. Ironmaking also requires coke, limestone, and a professional high-temperature furnace.

Forging and smelting are two different branches.

After crossing over, Luo Wei deeply realized that the so-called "industrial foundation" is really not something that can be done simply.

At present, the weapons that the Merrill Valley Manor has are just a few wooden bows and arrows, a dozen long-handled sickles, a dozen simple slings, and a number of sharpened wooden sticks and temporary shields made of cross-cut fir wood.

Of course, there are also sharp pieces of gravel.

Among most weapons, simple bows and arrows are relatively easy to make, but making bows and arrows requires not only tough wood, but also animal tendons for bowstrings. If there are no animal tendons, high-grade flax must be used to make bowstrings, and carefully selected goose feathers must be used to make arrow feathers, and iron tip caps must be used to make arrowheads.

These seemingly simple materials are very scarce in the Merlin Valley Manor.

As for making crossbows, don't even think about it. Crossbows require more materials and higher production technology requirements.

Moreover, bows and arrows are hunting weapons that civilians can own, but crossbows are military weapons. Without the permission of the lord of the title, crossbow weapons cannot be made in private manor territories.

So far, the number of bows and arrows that can be used in the Merlin Valley Manor is only 4, and the number of arrows is no more than 30.

These bows and arrows are still equipped with flax bowstrings, and their range and accuracy are greatly reduced.

There are more than a dozen long-handled weapons modified from sickles, but no matter how brightly these farm tools for mowing grass are polished, they cannot break light armor equipment.

As for the sling, it is very simple to make. Tie a piece of cloth between two linen ropes, put the sharp stones in the cloth, and then release one of the linen ropes at the highest point of the swing like a sling, and throw the stone out, which can achieve the effect of long-range or semi-long-range attack.

In terms of combat power, the sling is also the most reliable weapon of the Merlin Valley Manor.

Fighting with such equipment is like fighting a prehistoric war.

Fortunately, the enemy will not be that strong.

Luo Wei climbed up the sentry tower, closed his eyes, and carefully checked the overall fortifications with the insight of the feather.

Five kilometres from the front of the two watchtowers is a 1.2-kilometre-high granite roadblock.

According to Luo Wei's arrangement, a trench 1 kilometre deep was dug between the watchtower and the granite roadblock, and there were four rows of sharp and solid chevaux de frise spikes in the trench.

The height difference from the granite roadblock to the bottom of the trench is 2.2 kilometres, or 2.64 metres.

Generally, if an enemy falls down, he will be hit by the sharp chevaux de frise spikes. Even if he is lucky enough not to jump onto the chevaux de frise spikes, it will be difficult for him to climb up from the bottom of the trench.

After carefully checking the fortifications with insight and confirming that there were no problems, Luo Wei opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction:

"Good job! Everyone has worked hard these days.

"I will fulfill my promise, and each craftsman will receive an extra reward of 10 silver coins!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Master Luo Wei, you are really the best lord in the world! "

The rewarded craftsmen were all smiling and took off their hats to salute Luo Wei.

Luo Wei added: "The serfs have worked hard, especially those who cut wood last night. I have decided that all serfs will get extra meals today, and those who cut wood last night can get double extra meals and fresh milk."

"Yeah!"

"Merciful lord!"

"May the lord live a hundred years!"

The serfs all cried with joy, and the fatigue of hard work was swept away.

Luo Wei calmly pressed his palm, "I think everyone should know that our Meilin Valley will soon face a defense battle.

"What I want to tell you is that only if I win can you have a good life!

"Otherwise, you will become slaves of the Overwatch Farm Lord. The Overwatch Lord is a notoriously bad lord. Hundreds of serfs die under his hands every year! The living are also suffering!

"And I promise you that as long as we can win, everyone will have a meal of meat on the day of victory! And there will be a whole day off!

"If any of you show bravery, I will make an exception and let you join the Bell Ringing Army and enjoy the treatment of the Bell Ringing Army!"

When the serfs heard that they could eat meat, have a vacation, and might be promoted from serfs who were whipped to bell ringers with higher treatment, their blood boiled immediately.

"Great lord! We are willing to fight for you!"

"We live and die with Meilingu!"

"I want to join the Bell Ringing Army!"

Seeing the morale so high, and the fortifications meeting expectations, Luo Wei felt relieved.
