Chapter 163

Although no sect has ever been successful.

But the Scourge believe that, at least theoretically, is feasible.

The Apostle of the Disaster is a symbol of death.

But this magical artifact is very strange and seems to have vitality.

At least the sound of the heart beating, which represents vitality, began to occupy this space from an invisible place like a morning bell and evening drum.

Like a drum beat.

Although the speed is very slow, this body is indeed gradually emerging.

The Bishop of the Scourge began to tremble with great excitement.

The gospel of death is finally about to begin to spread.

Chapter 238 Shipbuilding preparation, seeking help, and supporting.

The dens and resorts are as always.

The den is as busy as ever.

The resort is as lively as ever.

But when Rand is away, many things may lack a little flexibility.

Ellie is not a scheming person.

But as an administrator, she was a little serious, at least compared to Lesa.

They also tend to deal with problems in accordance with rules and regulations rather than solving them in the way they think they are better.

Of course, this is not completely old-fashioned, such as hiring a beautiful elf maid sent by someone named Shelan who doesn't know what he is thinking to help with the office.

As for Elsa, she has three tasks, patrols nearby. Recently, there have been many monsters around the resort villa and near the den, which need to be dealt with in time.

Monitor the bandits in the resort so that they can't escape or hurt people suddenly.

and, handling shipbuilding matters required by Rand.

Just today, I have received a letter from Rand.

Viscount Perot has been captured by Rand, and the land bordering the inland sea can be taken over by Rand.

Elsa doesn't care how Rand beat Perro.

But the task given to her must be completed as soon as possible.

That is, the construction of ships.

When formally building a ship, it must be next to the body of water, otherwise the transportation cost will be too high.

Now her job is to make some preparatory preparations.

For example, the craftsmanship of building ships.

The wood for building ships needs to be carefully selected.

And after cutting down, it needs to be dried in shade.

Because he had to deal with the fishman and Naga, Rand also made an idea. The letter sent by Rand said that he planned to wrap a layer of iron on the bottom of the boat to avoid the fishman and Naga being chiseled.

But Elsa didn't understand at all.

It is obvious that iron will sink on water.

How to build an iron boat?

Elsa also asked the alchemist at the Alchemist Workshop, and the answer he received was also silent.

But after the alchemists learned that this was Rand's idea, they said that they would start experimenting immediately.

Alchemists actually admire Rand very much, although Rand is a pervert and is suspected to be a demon.

But after coming here, they achieved more alchemy achievements than they had achieved in the past.

This is simply an alchemist paradise.

The only shame is that you will be squeezed when you come here to work.

...

There was some damage on the city walls of Shelan's pioneering leadership.

Due to the full preparation, the bandits in the Burning Land did not achieve any results in the first surprise attack at dawn.

After the surprise attack failed, they retreated a lot and stayed away from the town where Shelan was.

To avoid being harassed by the fortifications of the town.

But it wasn't too far away.

Waiting at a distance that the crossbow cannon cannot shoot in the town.

It seems that they have follow-up troops.

Shelan stood on the top of the city and glanced at her messenger, "Go and ask for help."

The messenger nodded immediately and was ready to set off.

Shelan called a few good players of high-level professions and went to Rand's territory together as a guard of the messenger.

As for why higher-level professions are not allowed to serve as messengers and disperse messages, they are arranged as guards.

That is naturally because in this era, recognizing the way is a technical job, especially when finding the way in such unfamiliar territory of enemy countries.

Most people can't do it at all.

A messenger who can understand the way is a high-value unit.

The messenger left immediately.

Shelan continued to arrange defense matters.

"If it's your turn to rest, you have a good rest and don't be affected." Since you needed a vigil last night, a considerable number of soldiers should have rest now.

The first batch of surprise attacks were the vanguards of the Burning Land of thieves with 300 people, all of whom were very strong, and elite professionals were estimated to account for one-third.

And there are many superior professions, but there is no superior.

Since they are waiting outside the city, there must be a follow-up army.

Do they really want to attack the city?

In Shelan's impression, although the bandits in the Burning Land are powerful, most of them only occupy the road and rob the merchants.

Almost never heard of them as siege cities and land.

But now, we must be careful.

Shelan ordered the catapult car parts that had been built in the city to be brought to the city wall for assembly.

Now the walls of the town he lives in have been widened, and at least a catapult can be installed.

If the opponent has a long preparation time, he will first use a catapult with a longer range to harass them.

Shelan didn't know how to do the rest.

His father, Earl of the Bucks, is best at socializing and internal affairs, and may also have some ability to cultivate descendants and have good personal martial arts.

But military command is the part that the Bucks Earl is very bad at.

Shelan is not very good at it either. She can only say that she has asked the Black Brown Marquis for a while and knows a little bit of the basics.

After finishing the basic preparations, he didn't know what to do next.

If Viscount Rand had the same position as him, what choice would he make?

In the cool breeze in the early morning, Shelan sat on the top of the city wall, looking at the enemy army in the distance with a little chaotic place.

As the messenger rushes, Rand soon meets the messenger of Shelan again.

"You have encountered an enemy, right?" Rand asked before the messenger could speak.

The messenger nodded, looking a little anxious.

When I came here, I was surrounded and intercepted by bandits in the Burning Land, and almost couldn't get here alive.

When he saw Rand just now, he was too anxious and was once again blocked by Olena's sword blade.

Motion to Olena to put the sword down, Rand immediately said, "I will set out immediately."

Just like when Sheran learns that Rand is in danger, he plans to support him immediately.

Rand thought the same way.

He and Shelan have a considerable trust base.

Now that Perot is in his hands, Shelan is his solid ally of Rand.

If Shelan was beaten away by the Anti-Travel Committee and the bandits of the Burning Land, then before the Knights of the Frost Moon Kingdom came to the conclusion, Rand would face the Anti-Travel Committee alone, the Fishman and Naga, and the bandits alone before the Frost Moon Kingdom Knights Conference came to an end. .

And Rand's current military strength is obviously impossible.

Moreover, Shelan essentially has little conflict of interest with Rand.

What Shelan needs is to gradually establish a reputation in the Frost Moon Kingdom so that he can gain a place in the political arena and military of the Frost Moon Kingdom.

Rand is foresighted by the future situation, and he needs the substantial benefits and direct strength improvement.

He didn't care about politics, and as for his status in the army, Rand believed that his reputation was loud enough in the Frost Moon Kingdom.

If Rand wanted to really occupy this land, swallow everything, and make himself an Earl of the Field.

The probability of Shelan becoming his enemy is very low.

"Let's go." Rand ordered.

The bandits in Burning Land are powerful, but Rand still has some strategic ideas.

The bandits lack cavalry.

To be precise, if the Anti-Travel Committee did not support them.

There should be almost no.

The bandits in the Burning Land that I met in the Frost Moon Kingdom later, after interrogation, their horses were also supported by nobles or robbed.

The burning land itself is completely impossible to raise horses.

This is a flaw.

It’s one thing to have fewer cavalry, but if there are no cavalry at all, it’s another thing.

Chapter 239 Running, Tactics

On the battlefield, it is hard to explain what is the most important thing.

Different people have different opinions.

But in a macro battle, as long as the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not too disparity, the role of intelligence is decisive in Rand's understanding.

And in this era, scouts almost mean intelligence on the battlefield.

Now Rand has confirmed that there are very few scouts in this group of bandits in the Burning Land.

And it seems that when chasing the messenger of Shelan, he lost several more.

It can be said that there is almost nothing now.

In other words, they may know that reinforcements will arrive, but they do not know the number of reinforcements or the time when reinforcements arrive.

Rand ordered the marching to stop not far from Shelan.

"The whole army rests." This sentence means that you can eat dry food and water, but don't make a fire to cook.

The messenger on the side was very anxious before Rand sent troops, but now he is not anxious.

Obviously, Viscount Rand has a good relationship with his own master and is really planning to come and support him.

As for what strategy Rand plans to use now, there is no room for him to talk too much.
