Realm of Power

Regarding the ridiculous behavior of the fat man standing on the city wall to urinate, Caesar Zoro standing next to him rolled his eyes in disbelief. Caesar Zoro was already used to the fat man's crazy behavior during this period.

In the past half month, Samoer Fortress has been tortured by the fat man who is afraid of death.

He built walls, thickened them, and dug tunnels. In order to avoid being attacked by the Kugits, Fatty, who was afraid of death, not only laid out three trenches one meter wide and two meters deep in front of the city wall. Tall triangular wooden points were erected in front of the pits to prevent siege equipment from approaching.

A dozen cauldrons were also set up at the crenellations of the widened city wall, filled with large quantities of black crude oil that Fatty specially asked Crolisate to transport from the mountains in his Falcon Territory, so that it could be poured into the depths under the city wall at any time. pit, building three fire walls

The city gate walkway was re-reinforced with large hard bluestone strips, and fist-sized spear holes were rearranged on both sides of the 13-meter-long city gate walkway, making an ordinary city gate walkway full of murderous intent.

These are nothing, the fat man also built a concave city wall with a length of more than 20 meters on three sides behind the city gate walkway. It was connected to the main city wall of the castle with wooden planks. Even if the enemy broke through the first city gate, they would not be able to defeat it. The way will be blocked by this notched city wall, and you will be trapped in a desperate situation with spears stabbing your side and arrows shooting at your head.

In the end, even if the notch is breached, as long as the wooden planks connected to the walls on both sides are removed, the enemy can only stand on the notch and stare.

The originally narrow city wall passage that could only be used by a single person has been greatly widened. It can even allow two horses to pass side by side at the same time. Cavalry troops can be organized to rush to the city wall for support at any time.

Seeing these unprecedented defensive measures, other people were filled with chills. They secretly rejoiced that they were not the enemy who needed to attack the fortress, otherwise a thousand-man brigade would have been thrown in without even taking a chance.

A large number of defensive resources such as arrowheads, shields, and weapons are continuously transported from the Falcon Territory to the Samoer Fortress. There is an endless stream of transport carriages traveling between the Falcon Territory and the fortress every day. Fatty has built the Samoer Fortress into a It means "the city that never falls".

"What's this?"

Caesar Sauron was stunned as he looked at the strange weapons in the hands of the guarding soldiers. This one-meter-long wooden-handled bow and arrow launcher was a new weapon that had just been shipped from the Falcon Territory. The fat man called it a "foot-operated crossbow" with a long wooden handle. The strange long bow of the body,

It is said that Fatty asked the craftsmen in the territory to build it according to the drawings before setting off from the Falcon Territory.

"This is a good thing! If the Kugit people come to our Samor again, I will use this to greet them well and let them know that the Kugit bow they are proud of is nothing in front of the fat man."

The fat man patted Caesar Zoro on the shoulder with a proud look on his face.

In his previous life, Fatty was a shooting enthusiast. He was involved in everything from light crossbows to all kinds of weapons. It was a bit difficult for Fatty to make a gun, but ordinary crossbows were still very easy.

The more complicated part of the crossbow is the mechanism for locking the hair. Fatty had figured this out a long time ago. Thinking that he might meet a Kugit ranger who is good at archery,

Before setting off, Fatty specially allocated 10,000 gold coins to build 2,000 foot-operated crossbows specifically for heavy infantry, and now they are finally in use.

"Whoosh!" A short feather crossbow arrow was nailed to the cavalry mail on a wooden post 200 steps away. The strong penetrating power was as easy as tearing a thin piece of paper and it was easily nailed into the wooden post for about an inch. If there was a human body underneath, I'm just afraid that it can penetrate the arrow feathers.

Caesar Sauron saw that a soldier with a little training could easily shoot through the light mail armor of the cavalry 200 steps away with this waist-high foot-operated crossbow. His face turned slightly blue, and the strong bow of the Kugits could only It can reach a distance of 150 steps, and this thing can probably shoot at least 250 steps.

As a soldier who was born as a knight, Caesar Sauron had to think that if this kind of lethal weapon was used on a large scale, the sweeping ultra-long-range strike capability could easily wipe out the entire charging knights.

The tragic scene of being shot into a hornet's nest stimulated Caesar Sauron's nerves, and it seemed to remind him of the scene when he led his subordinates to be surrounded and annihilated by the Kugits, and cold sweat broke out behind his back.

Caesar Sauron, who was born as an orthodox knight, was firmly opposed to this extremely lethal weapon, believing that it violated the knight's code and that it was a "devil's weapon."

But the fat man blocked them all by saying, "Of course you have to use devil's methods to deal with the devil."

In return for the fat man spending his own money to reorganize the Southern Legion, the hunter leader Krolisat has been officially appointed by the Ministry of Military Affairs as the commander of the Eighth Flag Regiment of the Southern Legion, and Statunko serves as the commander of the Sixth Flag Regiment. The strange young knight Caesar Sauron was appointed as the captain of the direct guard of the Southern Legion.

After more than three months of all-out preparations for the war, and supported by millions of properties buried by the Kujit people and millions of stones of defense grain paid by the southern nobles, Fatty's southern army consisted of 6,000 combat personnel and engineers. With nearly 3,000 logistics personnel, Fatty's army is about to break through the 10,000 mark, becoming an important military force dominating the south and ruling the three counties.

What the complacent fat man wants to do most now is to keep the Kugits and the great nobles in the north entangled, and buy time for him to digest the land of the two counties. It is best to delay it until this year's autumn harvest.

With enough food security, the refugees who have moved to the two counties can settle down. Even if the kingdom wants to drive them away, they can only stare blankly.

Otherwise, as soon as they collect the food and leave, the kingdom will have to pay for tens of thousands of refugees from its own pocket, which is simply impossible for the kingdom's finances, which have been hit hard.

After the busy March comes the coolness of April

But for the fat man defending Samoer, it was really "hot" here.

The Kukit Rangers, who had been extinct for two months, vaguely appeared opposite the Samor Fortress, and even touched the edge of the Samor moat several times.

That arrogant and arrogant look was more of a demonstration than reconnaissance.

If it weren't for the fat man's strict order not to use crossbows casually, the defending soldiers would have shot these bold scouts off their horses. Seeing that there was no movement in the Samoer Fortress, the movement of the Kugits was getting louder and louder.

Yesterday, the frontline outpost reported that a group of about 5,000 Kugit light cavalry troops had entered the town of Hittairu opposite Samoer and was stationed there. They were eyeing the Samoer Fortress opposite, and they were very likely to defeat the fortress again. potential.

In the early morning, the cold stars hung high in the sky, the pale moonlight had not disappeared, and the blazing bonfire illuminated the hall of Samoa red.

The fat man should still be having a sweet dream in bed, but he was sitting in the hall of Samoer Fortress. The twitching look in his eyes showed that the fat man was extremely unhappy now, and he was so depressed that he had the urge to kill people.

In the middle of the night last night, because she didn't know Fatty's sleeping habits, Crolisate, who was on duty at the city wall, rushed into Fatty's bedroom. After being violently attacked by a humanoid bear, he reported with a miserable face that a group of 200 Kugit cavalry were coming. They brazenly took advantage of the darkness and began to camp under the Samoer City. Judging from the military flags erected in the camp, they may be the famous Royal Guards of Kugit.

"It's true that we are enemies in such a narrow road! This time we are looking for trouble for the fat man again!"

The fat man habitually touched his belly with his hand. His stomach made an unsatisfactory "gurgling" sound, and a sour taste rolled in his throat.

"Damn, getting up in the middle of the night not only affects your mood, but also makes you feel hungry."

The fat man waved to his three kings and asked

"What do you think these Kugits want to do? Come here and squat in someone else's corner in the middle of the night?"

"This time the Kugits are coming fiercely. I think no matter what they want to do, we just need to strengthen the defense of the castle! As long as we seize the opportunity, we can easily kill all 200 Kugits outside the city."

Statunko is still the same wretched person who likes to engage in defensive counterattacks. This guy did not participate in the annihilation battle on the mountain road because he was escorting supplies from the rear. Since one of his legs was shot lame by the Kugits, he still felt sorry for Kujit. Gith Strongbow is fearful.

Croissant's face was covered with bandages, her head lowered in dejection, looking like a frosty eggplant. After spending a whole night, plus a violent attack by an unscrupulous person, Croissant is still... He didn't wake up completely, his head was confused and he wanted to sleep. He blinked pitifully at the fat man a few times and said nothing.

The fat man saw Crolisate's appearance and ignored him.

Finally, everyone looked at the captain of the guard, Caesar Sauron.

"Who knows what these Kugits want to do! I am not a tapeworm in the belly of the Kugits! But if I can't say something, won't I make these guys look down upon me?"

Guard captain Caesar Zoro looked at his third brother staring at him in the hall, and had to put on a confident look and start talking nonsense that he was good at.

"The Kugits came with unknown force this time. First they sent a large number of scouts to conduct close-range reconnaissance on us, and then a main army entered the town of Hittailu opposite us. Now they actually sent people directly to our city. This shows that the Kugits The Gith are interesting to us!"

"Interesting? I'm fucking having sex with a Kugit!"

When the fat man heard Caesar Zoro say a lot of words like this, he came to the conclusion that it was "interesting" and almost stood up from his seat out of breath.

Those with long eyes can see that the Kugits are not only very interested in their Samoer Fortress, but they also wish they could eat the windlass alive, and their saliva is more drooling than the rushing river outside the city. It's urgent

"Sir, it's not interesting, I mean it's interesting to us!"

Caesar Sauron still spoke harshly, with an expression on his face like that of a misunderstood resentful woman. His tongue-twisting words stunned the fat man.

"What does it mean to be interesting? Can you explain it more clearly? We are all rough guys. How can we understand it?"

Seeing Caesar Zoro's hesitant expression and his tangled words, the fat man couldn't help but ask curiously.

"They just have ideas about us, are interested in us, or want to make peace with us, or want to negotiate with us!"

"Pfft." The fat man almost spit out the acid water he had just suppressed in his throat.

The fat man who has always regarded himself as lewd has his eyes opened today. It turns out that there is a great god squatting here. He finally knows what it means.

"There is no most lewd, only more lewd"

Just before the poor third brother woke up from Caesar Sauron's concussion, the guard outside the door had already hurried into the castle hall with a parchment letter and knelt down on one knee to report the report to the fat man.

"Sir, the Kugits outside the city sent three envoys, asking to see the commander of the Southern Army!"

The fat man's eyes turned green when he looked at Caesar Sauron. Could this be the Zhuge Demon of this era?

Crolisate and Statunko, who were sitting on both sides, also had eyes as bulging as toads and their mouths wide open, looking like they had seen a ghost.
