Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

　　 Chapter 113 News from the Mountain Barbarian

　　 The army village that Lorist plans to build for the mercenaries is actually two small devil’s artillery towers, with four floors and a height of about twelve or three meters. The two buildings are five meters apart, with the city gate in the middle. A five-meter-high city wall surrounds the mound. Inside the city wall are stables, warehouses, barracks and other living facilities for long-term maintenance. If the city wall is broken, the mercenaries can retreat to the two gun towers and insist on the arrival of reinforcements.

The construction of 　　 Junzhai was fast. First, tall logs were cut to build wooden walls and artillery towers, and then three trenches were dug on the periphery of the mound, and the creek was filled with water. The excavated earthwork was made into adobe bricks by the laborers ordered by Lorist in the same way as the rock castle, and then another earthen wall was built along the wooden fence and the turret on the periphery, and finally a thick layer of green clay powder was used to change it. Into a stone wall. Although the city wall is only five meters high, but Lorist asked him to make the mounds along the outer edge of the city wall into a forty-five-degree slope, so that the height of the city wall plus the mounds reached 9 meters, increasing the siege Difficulty.

　　 The days passed quickly in the busy schedule, and a month passed in a blink of an eye. The military village has begun to take shape, with three trenches on the periphery, two layers of wooden horses, a wall of sheep and horses, and finally a suspension bridge, city wall, and artillery tower. The rest are all details. Lorist also ordered four garrison crossbows from Rock Castle to be arranged on the top of the two turrets.

While in Rock Castle, Lorist had visited the father and son who made garrison crossbows. According to the introduction of the crossbow master named Farin, Lorist realized that the dozens of garrison crossbows actually They are all simplified versions, and they are not considered as official garrison crossbows. The normal range of the official garrison crossbow can reach 150 to 200 meters, but the simple version they are making can only reach 80 to 100 meters, which is nearly half the difference, and the precise aiming deviation is also very large. , Ten arrows can shoot three arrows to the intended target is already great accuracy.

　　Master Farin said that it takes a long time to make an official garrison crossbow. It takes two years to select, shape, and shape the bow arm. The simple versions of the crossbow arms he currently make are generally prone to deform and crack after shooting a dozen arrows, and need to be replaced. Fortunately, the wood for these arms is much in the North, so he has more for each crossbow. Three bow arms.

　　 There are also bowstrings. The bowstrings of these simple crossbows are made of beef tendon and pony tail, which will relax after shooting seven or eight arrows. Although there are various shortcomings, the advantages of these simple versions of the garrison crossbow are that they are quick to make, simple in materials, and in the end they are not expensive. In addition, the strength is fierce, even if the range is reduced by half, the crossbow arrows fired can still pose a threat to the golden rank masters.

This is very good for Lorist. He just gave Master Farling an idea and added a reel to the back of these simple crossbows, so that every time the winding does not have to be so laborious, it also makes it necessary to operate. The four manpower of the crossbow was reduced to two. It was a great idea to make Master Farin admire.

In fact, in Lorester’s heart, the best defense bows are those steel crossbows on the vampire castle in the American movie "Rise of the Wolves" seen in the previous life. One crossbow and three arrows, with pulleys and sights, simple winding and very good range. Far, flexible steering, strong force and high accuracy. Those werewolves as big as small calves were nailed to the ground with an arrow, and it was extremely convenient for one person to operate.

　　 I remember that after watching this movie, Lorist wanted to copy this steel crossbow and sell it back to Europe and America to earn some foreign exchange. As a result, we organized a tackling problem, and finally prevented one. The street police station came to confiscated the copycat steel crossbow, and fined 5000 yuan. Lorist still remembered Director Zhou’s warning that it would be an offence to make such crossbows in violation of the law without a foreign order and no license for making crossbows. If it had not been law-abiding all the time, it would not be as simple as a fine this time.

　　 Although Lorester's plan to make a fortune is still dead, but the steps of making the steel crossbow and the size of each part are deeply in mind. It's just that the biggest problem at the moment is that there is no material. Lorester doesn't know where to get the right steel, so he can only slowly look for alternative materials when he settles down.

　　 What makes Lorist feel strange is that during the construction of the military village this month, the valley at the junction of the two mountains was exceptionally calm and was not attacked by the mountain barbarians as expected. The mercenaries pulled the cordon farther and farther, and finally captured a pair of mountain barbarian grandsons who were collecting medicine deep in the valley. Although the old is old and the small is small, this is a living barbarian after all. Lorester paid the mercenaries a bounty of two empire gold coins for the barbarian grandson.

　　 gave the mountain barbarian child who refused to be quiet for a moment a piece of maple syrup, finally stopped the bear child from moving, and also warmed the old man's face. The old mountain barbarian told Lorist in a rusty lingua franca that this year is the Kupavessen Festival. The patriarchs of all mountain barbarian tribes have gone to Smore Megan Mountain to participate in the sacred sacrifice and Baivis Conference. .

　　 That was the case, Lorist couldn't help but be thankful that he had chosen a good time to build the military village here. Kupavesen Festival Lorist knows that this is the commemorative festival of the year when the mountain **** Kupavesen, the mountain barbarian most admired, was born. The mountain barbarian tribe celebrates one year and requires a blood sacrifice once a month to slaughter a large number of livestock for sacrifice. Mountain god. There is only one Kupavesen festival every twelve years.

　　 Wule and some other words are a specific name created by the mountain barbarian in common language, which is equivalent to the meaning of warrior. Smol Megan Mountain is the sacred mountain of the mountain barbarians, and it is said that the birthplace of the mountain **** Kupa Visen. The sacred sacrifice is the blood sacrifice, where livestock are slaughtered on the altar at the top of the holy mountain and sacrificed to the mountain **** Kupa Visen. The Baivis Conference is the largest gathering of the various tribes of the Mountain Barbarian. At this conference, the patriarchs of the various tribes must select the name Temsen of the Mountain Barbarian, which means the leader. Then the elected Temsen confirms the actual control territories of each mountain barbarian tribe, avoids and mediates disputes between various large mountain barbarian tribes, and the goal and direction of the mountain barbarian tribe in the next twelve years. For example, in which direction the human territory is to be attacked, which kingdom is to be taken captive, and the obligations and sacrifices of the various mountain barbarians to Temsen, etc.

The most famous book about the customs of the mountain barbarian is called "The Adventure of the Knight". It was a hundred years ago when a knight went to the Demon Dragon Mountain Range and strayed into the site of the mountain barbarian. He was detained by the mountain barbarian and lived there for nearly 30 years. After two Kupavis festivals, finally escaped from the Magic Dragon Mountain Range with his wife and three children and returned to his hometown. The knight later wrote several books about the life of the mountain barbarian tribe in the past 30 years, and became a famous scholar of the mountain barbarian tribe research.

　　 Lorist had read several books written by this knight when he was in Dawn Academy, and he also collected a copy of "The Adventure of the Knight". The customs of these mountain barbarian tribes described in the book are very detailed. During the Baivis Conference, the various tribes of the mountain barbarian tribe will also trade, exchange what is needed, and hold various activities such as contests, gladiatorial fights, and hunting.

From the map of the entire continent of Galimbia, it can be found that the Magic Dragon Mountain Range is located in the center of the continent and stretches for nearly 100,000 miles. The area is extremely wide. It is the birthplace of the three major rivers and two major rivers in the mainland, and is the birthplace of Galimbia. The cradle of life in the subcontinent. Legend has it that in the ancient age of elves, this mountainous area was the territory of the dragon clan.

　　 Now there is no magic dragon, but there are more mountain barbarians. It is not that the mountain barbarians in the territory of the Norton family have become a disaster, but the various countries and territories near the Devil Dragon Mountains. The mountain barbarians are a major headache.

　　The old man of the mountain barbarian told Lorist that the mountain barbarian tribe that ruled the Demon Dragon Mountains near the Norton family territory was called Habi Baba. Most of the previous invasions of the Norton family territory were done by this Habi Baba tribe. The strength of this tribe is very powerful, it has more than a thousand Wule, and the other seven mountain barbarian tribes in this area oppressed to death.

　　The mountain barbarian tribe to which the old man belongs is very small, with a total number of just over 400. The old mountain barbarian said that by the end of the year when the patriarch of the Habibaba tribe returns, he is likely to become the Jambasen who rules the area, which means regional commander. All the mountain barbarian tribes in this area will become vassal tribes of the Habibaba tribe. Like the small mountain barbarian tribe to which the old man belongs, it may even be forcibly annexed.

　　 The Habibaba mountain barbarian tribe swallows and does not annex the tribe to which the old man belongs. It is not about Lorist's business, and Lorist is not prepared to intervene. For Lorist, the mountain barbarians can do whatever they want to harm other territories or other kingdoms, as long as they don't hinder the development of their family's territory. Don't blame yourself for being impolite if you are making a shot at your own clan territory.

　　 The forest valley at the junction of these two mountains has been the main channel for the mountain barbarian to invade the Norton family territory for two hundred years. The establishment of the military village here is to have enough early warning and response time when the mountain barbarian invades. Small-scale mountain barbarians invaded their own mercenaries to take care of them, which is also the source of their rewards. If it was a large-scale mountain barbarian invasion, then the mercenaries would retract to the military village to hold on, light the wolf smoke to report the news, and Lorist would recruit family forces to give these mountain barbarian a head-on attack.

　　 The process of building the army village went smoothly, except for a small problem when digging a well on the mound. That is, although the mound is only 80 meters away from the stream, it has been dug to a depth of 14 to 45 meters before the water veins on the ground are dug. The water pressure is so great that it even spouts out of the well head. Finally, a water outlet was dug under the city wall. Draining water into the trenches under the mounds did not make the inside of the city walls a swamp.

　　 Lorist is discussing secret matters with Hoskey, Jim and Codan's manager today. Lorist is going to dig an underpass under the two gun towers to connect the two gun towers. Although the four floors of the two artillery towers are connected by a wooden trestle bridge, Lorist is worried that if the mountain barbarian besieged, the wooden trestle bridge will be shot and burned by the rocket. If the city wall falls again, it will cause two. The artillery lost contact. This is extremely detrimental to the mercenaries trapped in the two turrets, so arranging a secret tunnel underground does not worry that the two turrets cannot support each other~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The two mercenary leaders Husky and Jim although I think it is cumbersome to dig the underpass, but I am very grateful to Lorist for his thoughtful thoughts. On the contrary, Officer Kedan thought this was a necessary measure. After listening to the confession of the old mountain barbarian, the director Kedan thought that if this army village was attacked by the mountain barbarian, it must not be tens of hundreds, but probably thousands. The mountain barbarian savage, didn’t the old man from the mountain barbarian say that the Habibaba tribe owns thousands of kules? By then, the pressure on these seventy or eighty mercenaries will be great, and the situation Lorist said is not impossible.

　　Lorist believes that in addition to this underpass, a passage must be dug from the underpass to the well, so that there is no need to worry about the wall being broken and there will be no water source when the mercenaries are trapped in the turret. In addition, it is best to dig another underpass from the underpass to the nearby creek as an escape route when facing desperate situations. It's just that the mercenaries need to dig this passage secretly by themselves, so as not to be known by others.

　　Because there is only one gate in this military village, the mercenaries are trapped in the military village after the gate is locked. Although Hoskey and Jim have repeatedly stated that the mercenaries will stick to the last person, Lorist said that the suspects don’t need to be hired. They don’t need to be suspicious. Arranging these mercenaries here is not for them to die. It can give an early warning to the family. Reporting the letter and delaying the time for the barbarians of the brigade to attack the family territory is enough for them to be worthy of their own payment. If they really persist, they can abandon the military village and escape. Lorist will not be surprised.

While discussing the excitement, I heard the mercenary guarding at the door come in and report that it was the captain of the Morin garrison from Kitano Town who came to see the lord~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Welcome friends to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest The serialized works are all at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ mobile users, please go to read.
