Chapter 299： : Defensive layout of the final challenge

Everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed, and now there is a shortage of manpower.

Zong Shen sat down on the threshold of the small courtyard.

The first to gather was San Fat. He took 33 farmers out of the training ground and gathered at the entrance of the small courtyard.

Mariel is nearby, using the communication crystal for notification.

The second group assembled in place were twelve wolf cavalry from the second wolf cavalry team and eleven wolf cavalry from the third wolf cavalry team.

Followed by the two goblin tearers, an Avalon light infantry, water mage Lepe, and another claw druid, they were originally used as the territory's replenishment force.

The last is the kobold chief Dutra, who brought 258 kobolds and his slave Quete back from outside the city, leaving the kobolds all in the last row.

There are more than two hundred kobolds, and there are also a large group of Urauula, but because of their short stature, they look a bit like a kindergarten assembly from a distance.

After completing the task, Mariel came to the assembly queue and waited for Zong Shen's instructions. Even the dwarf Uncle and Alana heard the movement and walked out of the blacksmith's shop.

Zong Shen looked at the dwarf uncle, and smiled at him as a greeting. He rarely saw the tired look on the dwarf's face and the dark circles left by staying up late.

Although his face was exhausted, the dwarf uncle's face was full of smiles, winking at Zong Shen.

"My lord, after working overtime these days, the heavy combat puppet has finally been repaired!"

"I have successfully implanted the communication crystal into the transmission line of the core of the combat puppet magic power, filling up the damaged area."

"As long as you dial the corresponding communication crystal, you can activate the heavy combat puppet to fight."

"Of course, if you want it to stop, you can only wait until its mana energy is exhausted."

"The repaired heavy combat puppet is basically as I told you before."

The uncle dwarf bowed slightly to bow and reported good news.

Speaking of [Heavy Combat Puppets], this thing has been given to Uncle Dwarf for several days.

Finally, before the final challenge, it was repaired.

Although because of the damage, I can't receive instructions, so I can hit it wherever I go.

But according to the previous assumptions, it can still come in handy.

[Heavy combat puppets] have a not low solidity value and armor value, as long as they are pre-charged with mana, and then placed in a suitable position outside the territory, wait until the strange group appears and flood the inactive heavy combat puppets. Shen directly connected the communication crystal to activate the puppet.

With the power of [Heavy Combat Puppet], it is enough to stir the wind and the rain among the strange group.

It is enough to not seek to kill thousands of troops, which can cause chaos in the strange group.

"Thank you, Uncle Dwarf."

"After a while, I will take you to the pub in Bosbon for a good drink."

Zong Shen was in a good mood, and smiled affirmed to Uncle Dwarf.

But the dwarf uncle waved his hand.

"Drinking is forbidden, it's all my part."

"I have made up my mind to give up drinking."

Uncle Dwarf said firmly, since the last time he had a heart-to-heart talk with Zong Shen, his fighting spirit had been aroused, and he had new hope for the future, no longer being passive and decadent, and even determined to give up drinking completely.

Zong Shen nodded, did not answer, and turned his eyes, sweeping over everyone present.

Not all the team under Zong Shen’s gathered here,

The first team of wolf riders, the exploration team, the combat team led by Vereesa who was on the front line of the crypt, and the scout team sent by Zong Shen to Dinan Village for layout development were not present to gather.

But this time is also the one with the largest number of people in the assembly.

After scanning a circle, Zong Shen's expression on his back turned upright, and he began to announce the final challenge to the public, so that everyone could be mentally prepared.

Zong Shen originally thought that this news would cause everyone's restlessness, but not quite everyone was calm, including the kobolds who opened mines every day.

"My lord, rest assured! We will defend the territory to the death!"

"Never let those disgusting crypt monsters step into the territory!"

The first to express his position was Arvid, the captain of the Second Wolf Cavalry Team. He was also a veteran who followed Zong Shen earlier, and was only one day later than Colby in terms of qualifications.

After he took the lead in speaking out, everyone started waving their arms and shouting loudly.

"Death to the death to defend the territory!"

"Death to defend the territory..."

…

Even those kobolds who can't speak human words raised their hands, and under the leadership of the kobold chief Dutra, imitated everyone's tones and began to shout.

Hundreds of people shouted at the same time, with a shocking momentum.

"Fuck!"

Zong Shen clapped his hands, then opened his hands to signal everyone to silence.

After the shouting stopped, Zong Shen slowly spoke.

"Very well, if everyone has this intent to fight, we will be able to successfully complete the final challenge."

"Now there are a few people left to reinstall the bolts and load the bolts for these empty storm crossbows."

"The rest of you come with me."

Zong Shen waved his hand, and several people from the defense team stayed voluntarily and loaded the storm crossbow machine. The others followed Zong Shen to the outside of the north gate.

He walked directly to the north gate two hundred meters away, opened [Build], and began to place [1st-level barricades]. Along the entire section of the city wall, 10 barricades were placed. These barricades were randomly placed two hundred meters away from the city wall. The location is not neatly arranged, forming a perfunctory barricade defense line.

At the same time, ten [1st-order spike traps] were placed near the roadblock to assist defense.

This is not over yet, he placed ten scattered [1st-level straw sheds] further away.

These haylofts are cheap to build and have low sturdiness. Their only function is to distract the strange group's attention and share the attacks of some strange groups.

This kind of primary building is low in cost and not high in cost, but the benefits for defense are huge.

After the arrangement was completed, he pointed out that ten farmers started to build on the spot. Zong Shen began to plan the layout of the trenches before and after these roadblocks. He planned to be at a distance of 150 meters to 350 meters from the city wall before and after the roadblocks. In the interval, a total of three trenches are arranged,

Each trench is composed of 12 to 15 sections of trenches. The excavation specification of each section of trench is 5 meters wide x 3 meters deep, so that there are 36 to 45 sections of trenches outside each city wall, which is matched with the scattered roadblocks. , Forming an irregular defensive line to be found.

To deal with those crowded crypt monsters, there is no need to arrange a line of defense that is too neat, this kind of scattered line of defense is not easy to be targeted and destroyed by the crypt heroes.

Don’t discard the soil that you dig into the trenches. You can use the soil more than ten meters away from the outermost trench to build a small rammed soil wall that is more than one meter high and two meters thick. After the ramming is tight, it can change the position of the crypt monsters. .

As for the other directions of the territory, he arranged in the same way. Various defense plans were extremely random, and no regularity could be found, including the location of the trenches, which he simply marked on the ground with branches. If it is this kind of random effect , It made a mess outside the territory, and there was no way to break through.

After all the arrangements were completed, the manpower was evenly distributed to four positions. The farmers were responsible for the construction, the kobolds and the warriors were responsible for digging trenches. As for the digging tools, mining picks were used instead. Although not as good as shovels, they were sufficient. With so many people working at the same time, Zong Shen estimated that by *** tonight, they would all be completed.

After the crypt monsters die, they will turn into pus and merge into the ground. There is no need to consider the problem of clogging the corpse. At most, the damage caused by those crypt monsters stepping on.

At this time, the intervention of the soldiers and the defense buildings of the territory is needed. The wolf cavalry can be dispersed and cruise directly on the outer large map, and there is no need to be trapped in the city.

When the time comes, the three wolf riding squads will act together, and they will ambush outside the territory in advance. Once the crypt monsters gather to attack the territory, they will be notified to come and attack from the rear outside the monsters.

After all the external defense deployments in the four directions were arranged, Zong Shen and Maryl returned to the territory and began to arrange and arrange the eleven fourth-order characteristic arrow towers at hand.

There are a total of two Tier 4 [Thunder Towers] in their hands, with a range of 500 meters. After some calculations, Zong Shen and Ma Lier decided to place these two [Thunder Towers], one on the left and the other on the right. On both sides of the small courtyard, there are still more than two hundred or three hundred meters of range in several peripheral directions.

The range of [Thunder Tower] is not too far, so it does not consider its ultra-long range output ability. At this position, it is enough to attack beyond the trench line.

Two of the three fourth-order [Moon Blade Towers] were placed in the middle section of the city walls on the east and west sides of the territory, and the remaining one was placed 20 meters north of the lord’s courtyard.

The fourth-order [Moon Blade Tower] has a range of 1250 meters, enough to cover the entire inner city of the territory, and has a long range overflow in all directions. This arrangement can be regarded as a balance.

Then there are two Tier 4 [Giant Crossbow Towers], [Giant Crossbow Tower] has a super long range, and can also enter the sniper mode, and also placed one in the middle of the east and west directions.

The remaining three Tier 4 [Holy Light Towers] are auxiliary defensive towers, but for undead units, they are offensive defensive towers. The coverage area of ​​500 meters is enough to cover an area of ​​two to three hundred meters inside and outside the territory.

Taking into account the depth of the territory around the territory, the defense pressure on the north side is actually the smallest, because the north side is the place where bones are buried and mountain forests, and the number of crypts there is relatively small, lacking the depth and topography for the gathering of strange groups.

The east, west, and south are relatively flat and vast, and large-scale strange groups are extremely prone to appear.

Therefore, Zong Shen determined that one Holy Light Tower was placed in the middle section of the south, and the remaining two [Holy Light Towers] were placed in the middle section of the east and west sides like the [Moon Blade Tower] and the [Great Crossbow Tower].

Now there is the last characteristic defensive tower, which is a fourth-order [Necropolis].

[Necro Tower] is very special, but there is no so-called effective range. Its effect is to summon various skeleton warriors/archers/mages at regular intervals.

However, if it is placed in the most stressful position, the skeleton warrior/archer/mage it summons can join the battlefield faster, after all, the summoned objects have a time limit.

This kind of special defensive tower is not suitable to be placed in the center of the territory, otherwise it will take some time for those summoning objects to run from the territory to the outside of the territory.

Zong Shen thought about it carefully, thinking that the southwest was a blind spot he had hunted, and thinking that the density of monsters might be higher, he decided to arrange this fourth-order [Necropolis] in the southwest corner of the territory.

Anyway, this time is also a temporary arrangement. After the crypt challenge is over and the city planning begins, all the defensive towers need to be moved and planned to the designated location in one step, so it doesn't matter whether it is messy or not messy now.

After arranging the deployment positions of the eleven Tier 4 characteristic defensive towers, Zong Shen handed them over to Mariel for full control. As a hero-level talent, Zong Shen has opened the [build] authority to her, and the complete drawings can It is built automatically, and the time required is very short.

Mariel only needs to place the designated defensive tower in the designated position. There is no technical content, and it is also an errand.

After Zong Shen arranged the defensive layout of the territory, he mounted Bajie again, left the territory from the North City Gate, and rushed towards the front line of the crypt.

The front line position of the crypt persisted for 6 days, and now there is no need to maintain it. The income of dispersing troops is less than the income of shrinking defense, so Zong Shen is ready to go to the front line of the crypt and notify Vereesa and the front-line combat team to return to the defense.

At the same time, he and Vereesa had to move back the arrow tower and the two Tier 3 walls first.

Even if the two third-level city walls are not of much use, they should be moved to the periphery of the territory as a shelter.

All the way forward, it was already more than 1:40 in the afternoon, and the crypt monsters along the way were still sparse, and the crypt monsters walking everywhere in the previous few days would no longer be the case.

As the crypt challenge comes to an end, the density of this crypt monster is almost impossible to recover.

Because the sparseness of the crypt monsters around the territory was the result of Zong Shen and the others killing the surrounding crypt monsters for 6 consecutive days, and it was not possible to recover in this short day.

If you want to see the crypt monsters running all over the floor again, only when the final challenge is opened, those crypt monsters will be specially attracted.

Zong Shen rode the Eight Rings all the way forward, recalling the six days of the Crypt Challenge, but he was also a little sad.

In less than ten days of landing, the Crypt Challenge has already accounted for 6 days, and many of the development habits of the lords have changed as a result.

After noon tomorrow, the Crypt Challenge will be completely over. No one knows what the next challenge will be!
