065 The Royal Envoy (Part 1)
While walking up the mountain, Liang Lidong also saw several patrol teams wearing lightweight but absolutely not bad leather armor. In addition to each of them carrying a mace, each of them also had a crossbow on their waists.●⌒In the game "Flange Continent", a one-handed mace hammer has almost become the standard equipment for human infantry. This weapon is easy to manufacture and not easy to damage, and it is also very powerful. No matter what type of armor it encounters, it can react with one hammer. Unlike long sword weapons, if it is not a magic weapon and no specialized skills in weapons, when it encounters a can of steel, the sword itself will be broken.
The hand crossbow is a very expensive long-range weapon. It costs a lot to equip several such patrol teams, but it can also be seen that Uther's defense against the gold mine is quite strong.
When we arrived at the entrance of the mine, there was a garrison of more than 100 people. The equipment was better than the patrol team. They even built towers and small bunkers near the entrance of the cave, which looked like militarized management. Such a garrison force would be hard to eat without a militarized organization. Of course, if you can easily call out special organizations of hundreds or thousands of professionals like the Players Guild, that would be another matter.
As soon as they walked to the mine, a middle-aged butler came over with a booklet. Uther looked at it for a while, and then said, "Let Peter bring another booklet too, let's check it out routinely."
The middle-aged butler took the order and left. At this time, the city lord's wife approached Liang Lidong and asked: "Grandpa Beta, what do you think of the arrangement of such a guard? Are there any places that need to be changed?"
Liang Lidong shook his head: "No need, there is no better garrison force than this. Besides, I am not good at leading troops to fight, so it doesn't make much sense to ask me for opinions?"
"Is that true?" The city lord's wife nodded without comment: "But you give me the feeling that you not only know how to lead troops to fight, but also a general who has experienced many battles."
Liang Lidong shrugged: "You are so proud of me!"
Although Liang Lidong was a lord, in fact, he really didn't know how to fight. However, at that time, he had several NPC subordinates who were very good at war. So every time he fought, he just had to let these subordinates deduce the situation in advance and then implement the war strategy. Moreover, as a moderate profession, although he was indeed slightly weak against players of the same level, in war, moderate players had great advantages and were able to adapt to the fighting style. The most important thing is that as a god-born noble, he would randomly get two military strategy expertise in the middle and late stages. To put it bluntly, the range aura can slightly enhance the strength of the surrounding friendly forces. These aura 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 with good strength, can fight on the front line, and can be resurrected infinitely... For soldiers, there is nothing that can boost morale better than this. Therefore, Liang Lidong led his troops to fight. As long as he eliminated traps, tricks and other factors, he directly led his troops to shoot. The high morale can be transformed into powerful combat power, and Liang Lidong also has his own range halo skills, so his direct troops have extremely strong combat power. His most proud battle is to directly attack the opponent's 10,000 formation with two thousand cavalry. The first attack directly drilled the opponent's formation, and the second attack killed the opponent's commander. Then the remaining thousands of people fled around like antelope migrating on the grassland.
The city lord's wife sighed cutely: "Excessive self-mood is not a good quality, it will only be described as hypocritical."
"But I really don't know how to fight." Liang Lidong spread his hands, and looked helpless.
The city lord's wife glanced at Liang Lidong, then followed her husband into the mine cave, which was followed by Liang Lidong. Because the mining needs efficiency, the narrow passage had been widened by at least six meters, and now more than a dozen people can walk side by side without appearing crowded. There were many red-armed workers in the cave carrying a load of gravel and soil, pouring the waste slag at the entrance of the cave, and then being taken over by those waiting outside and transported to another place to pour.
The three of them kept walking down, and soon Liang Lidong discovered that the mine channel had been divided into three, and along the way, you could see dark golden light looming on the stone walls of the passage. The gold content of this gold mine was higher than he imagined. No wonder the two guilds in the game fought so hard. If converted into real currency, the hundreds of high-level leaders of the two guilds could become millionaires in minutes.
On the left side of the Sancha Road, there is an empty area, which looks like a basement, not only with doors, but also with tables and chairs, wall lights, and an inner room. Liang Lidong felt that there would definitely be a large bed and washing space in the inner room.
After the three of them entered, the city lord closed the door and sat down in the main seat by himself. Then he asked Liang Lidong to sit down and said, "I'm asking you this time to ask you to help you think of a solution! We have encountered some troubles. After all, the gold mine is related to the interests of all of us. You should not just be alone in the countryside and enjoy your happiness."
"Okay, I've guessed that something like this will happen, please tell me." Liang Lidong sighed helplessly.
Uther tapped the table with his rough fingers and said, "Because the news of us developing 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 is different. Although the spies and scouts they sent are not too powerful, they have come too many times and our personnel start to suffer losses. Moreover, they cannot sleep well every night, which has caused a great blow to their morale. Moreover, lack of sleep is a big problem. Nothing is seen at the moment, but I know very well that people who are not well-rest for a long time will have a bad temper, and I am afraid that it will cause greater disasters in the future."
If a person has no long-term plan, he will have immediate worries. Uther's worries make sense. Liang Lidong thought for a while and said, "In fact, it's not too difficult... Just arrange a large magic defense array nearby. Everything will be the same during the day. When the night comes, start the magic array, and leave some soldiers to take turns to watch at night, wouldn't it be enough?"
"Let's set up a magic circle like a castle?" Uther was a little embarrassed: "This cost too much, and it took a long time. The most important thing is that we did not have enough spell casters to set up the magic circle. When our Langman family became the city lord, the royal family sent more than a dozen spell casters here and took half a month to set up the magic circle."
But the city lord's wife said: "Since Lord Beta suggests that we use magic circles, there must be a way to shorten the time of magic circles, right?"
"It's true." Liang Lidong said: "Your castle is a strategic large magic array, and I have established a medium-sized universal magic array. Although the protection effect is not as good as the magic array in your castle, it is not much worse. The most important thing is that the process of making this magic array is simple and does not cost much material. It can be completed with about 300 gold coins."
Uther said excitedly: "It seems that you are indeed proficient in various magic. Although my daughter has been studying in the Red Magic Tower for several years, she has not learned any other magic knowledge except for various flame magic. Lord Beta, please help us set up a magic circle. When things are done, I will thank you very much."
"If I am alone, the progress is a bit slow." Liang Lidong continued: "I hope Babala can help, and it is best to call Carl's female student. Although she is not capable, one more person is always more powerful."
Uther was a little worried: "Babala doesn't seem to know the knowledge of magic circles, I'm afraid she will drag you down."
Liang Lidong said: "It doesn't matter, I can teach you. Babala is not a stupid person, she can learn it."
"Okay! That's it." Uther was a little excited. Now he solved another troublesome thing. The most important thing is that the construction of the magic array is very advanced knowledge. Ordinary spell casters don't have the chance to learn a superficial knowledge. Babala followed Beta to build a magic array. Even if they couldn't learn it, they could at least lay a foundation.
Liang Lidong thought about it and said, "I have been here with Babala these days, but if the two of us who have anti-assassination ability leave, what should we do if our castle is safe?"
"Strengthen the alert!" Uther shrugged: "Let the soldiers in the castle work in three shifts. Anyway, they can hold on in just a few days. If it really doesn't work, just open the magic circle under the castle and spend a while before talking about it."
At this time, the door that was covered was opened, and the middle-aged butler walked over with a booklet and said, "City Lord, the record book has been taken."
Uther pointed: "Put it on the table."
At this time, another soldier came into the door. He said anxiously: "City Lord, a team of noble carriages came outside the city just now. They claimed to be the royal envoys and are now heading towards the castle. It is estimated that they have arrived at the castle now."
The royal envoy, Uther, was a little surprised. At this time, what did they do when they ran to the border city of Wind City, where birds do not shit? They wouldn't know about the gold mine.
