Dragon Cub's Bizarre Adventure

In order to withstand the bombardment of gunpowder weapons, modern castles even need to be reinforced and repaired with iron bars, cement and stronger adhesives on the basis of ancient castles. Such a stone fortress can be destroyed even with a 32-pound gun. It took several days to shatter the rocks little by little and knock it down.

Compared with the external project of the castle, the interior decoration is also a problem. They need to reconcile the paint, decorate with marble, wood and limestone, at least to make this ancient castle that has been abandoned for more than 100 years look like a noble residence Degree.

How much does it cost?The answer is tens of thousands of gold coins. Therefore, most of the nobles' castles... are built with the savings of several generations, and the construction period can be as long as a century.

Not only labor costs, but also frequent repairs due to lack of money. If you have money, you can continue to repair. When you have no money, you can use wooden fortifications to make do. The little earl directly takes half of the 7500 gold coins as an advance payment. Sex is accounted for, to be honest, the master craftsmen of the stonemason's guild have never heard of it for generations.

Since the lord is so generous, the craftsmen will naturally not let go of this opportunity to make a lot of money, and they immediately moved their homes here, eating here, living here, and living here every day.

The tinkling of chisels and hammers can be heard all day long.

The fence was raised from the low wall with black wood, and turrets and shooting corridors were added, which can be used by musketeers and crossbowmen to shoot. It takes several rounds to break open.

At the same time, the little earl also recruited a group of crossbowmen and musketeers to defend the town. The original guards were all dismissed. Through the relationship of veterans, a group of retired halberd soldiers were found. The town is completely different, more like the main city of the human race in Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Of course, nothing has been upgraded.

The uOvO businessman and the stone statue looked at each other. The stone statue was installed at a fork in the road at some point. The unique attraction made him stop the carriage and look at this weird thing, and the stone statue in the opponent's hand. holding the plate.

In the center of the plate is an abstract stupid face, two stupid faces put together...

"Greedy Plate" "Bring flesh and molasses, and you will be blessed" is engraved with such words on the base.

"Eh..." The antique dealer ordered his servants to slaughter a sheep and put the tender lamb on the tray, out of the mentality of not wanting to offend Yi Renhe Yishen.

Soon, the flesh and blood disappeared as if being swallowed by the void, leaving nothing behind, and nothing happened.Of course, the antique merchant is not surprised. Most of the Ability Gods are greedy and unbelieving guys. He has collected a lot of antiques and has also done a lot of antique and sacrificial vessel business. - some understanding.

No response is already the best kind of alien god belief, and more often you will get "gifts" that you don't want at all.

Continue on the road." The businessman passed the statue and headed towards the small town, and a strange aura appeared on him for a moment, and was quickly swallowed up by the chaotic magic power and disappeared.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

A large number of gadgets called the Yuba of Greed are placed everywhere, and their only function is to serve as a carrier for sacrifices. Since most of the creatures and objects here will be affected by the chaotic magic power, the Yuba is the most severely affected The flesh and blood was thrown to the cyan thing as a sacrifice. Anyway, after she finished eating, the magic power returned was neutral.

To put it bluntly, it seems that countless rivers are pouring fresh water into the sea, and it is not likely to turn the entire ocean into fresh water. However, there is no problem at all in creating an environmental state similar to the Mediterranean Sea or the Yellow Sea.

However, this needs to consume a lot of fresh meat and fresh fish, so it is up to the locals to figure out their own solutions. However, these statues are also loved by nearby residents. After all, they look stupid, and in this dark and In a depressing world, taking a look does have the effect of relaxing the spirit.

Preparations for attacking the ruins area have already begun. Thanks to the support of the stone statue and some gold coins provided by Xiaoxiao, the original method of attacking by a small team has been replaced by a large team. "Symbols" created a batch of amulets that strengthen the ability of psychological intervention.

This is the basic condition for fighting in a large group. Otherwise, in a battle in the cold weapon era, a team of four people can continue to fight if one person collapses. The whole team collapsed, causing even more damage than the enemy.

This is why the little earl's plan at the beginning never arranged for a large group of troops to attack, because in that case, the lethality caused by the friendly army may be several times stronger than that of the enemy.

A standard infantry squadron, composed of retired old men who were found by veterans and some halberd soldiers hired by Disma. They used to be road bandits. The so-called road bandits are those who have not received the promise of the nobles. The nobles who paid or hired them died in battle, and they couldn't find anyone to pay them, and finally had to become mercenaries of thieves.

Burning, killing, looting, and even breaking down towns, for the sake of gold coins and contacts, I am willing to fight for the little earl. Now the north is in chaos, and several kings are fighting fiercely on the battlefield. It is becoming more and more difficult for those rich villages and towns attacked.

The casualties of the attack on the regular army were too great, so it is better to come here to try their luck. Of course, the smooth clearing of the wilderness before also gave these people an illusion that monsters are nothing more than this.

Another squadron of crossbowmen and musketeers is a long-range strike force, equipped with steel crossbows and muskets, which can deal a considerable blow to the enemy in a short period of time with a torrential rain of gunpowder and crossbow bolts.

The last squadron is the militia, those units that are not easy to mix with others, mainly responsible for auxiliary work, such as occult scholars and dog trainers who are attracted by knowledge, friends of falconers, rangers, bounties Hunters, Tomb Raiders and more.

In addition, a field medical team was formed by the nuns. Anna and Xiao Xiao

The two configured a lot of herbs and decoctions, and the nuns also configured a lot of holy water,

U!

U!

It’s just that it’s also holy water, and what she configures only has the functions of exorcising evil spirits and improving resistance.

From Xiaoxiao's point of view, it is just clear water that has been introduced with the magic power of order, without any divine power.

However, the little brat is not interested in fighting religious wars here, so she simply used the name of secret medicine to get her holy water. These are real holy water rich in positive energy. The monsters in the ruins occupied by spirit mages and undead monsters have a very high restraint effect.

When necessary, it can also be used for disinfection and treatment. However, Anna gave high praise to the healing medicines she prepared. This is the best trauma medicine she has ever seen. It only needs half and half. Apply it on the wound and drink the remaining half

Go to take effect O

It is also good for bruises and bruises, but fractures, disabilities, severe burns, etc. have to be prepared with other herbs and potions.

And in order to solve the possible mass panic and hysteria, Anna also prepared a large amount of anesthetic tincture, which can not only be used for surgery, but also be used to calm the spirit.

— After everything was ready, Raymond, who had been disappearing without a trace, came back. As a former crusader and knight, he brought back not only a swordsman with an iron mask, but also a 12-pound light artillery.

"Ready to go!" The little count looked at the army under him and nodded. Money and material desires cannot prevent the spread of evil, but money and material desires can be recruited—only to smash the army of evil, as long as the army is solved. After morale and mental problems, the monsters entrenched in the ruins were no match for them at all.

The mercenaries set out on the road. Unlike the bonfires and dry food prepared by the team, the army needed to prepare more things. They loaded more than a dozen carriages, from tents for camping to spears and planks for building roadblocks.

In addition, there are a large number of torches, barrels of feather arrows and spare bowstring boxes, wooden boxes containing dry bread that the bakers of the academy city were summoned to complete, and a large number of cans that have been invented in this era.

Cheese, apples, canned food, sausages, and bacon piled up like a mountain. This is just the cost of the first wave of the army. If it takes too long to clean up, it will have to be replenished several times from the rear, and the little count immediately understood this. The speed of burning money, I thought that the amount of wealth in the ruins and relics, no matter how you look at it, the family is not called "declined".

As a result, when the military expenses were calculated, the scalp immediately exploded. The soldiers here were recruited with a lot of money, which means that after four weeks, the personnel and military pay alone would have to spend more than 1000 gold coins. This is why the nobles in the Middle Ages would not fight big For the sake of scale and protracted war - no money, hit a hammer!

The cost of bread and meat is also more than 500 gold coins. As for the arrow, it consumes 2000 gold coins at one time, plus the armorers, blacksmiths, grooms and carpenters hired to accompany the army (fortifications and field camps), etc. Wait, go straight to the five-figure expenses, and you will almost be able to build another castle.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he is all mercenaries. If the entire expenditure of raising the army by himself is so exaggerated, normal nobles undertake military service obligations through their lower-level vassals, let them run their own fiefdoms to support knights and standing soldiers, and then obey The king's call is to fight, and the soldiers and armor are supplied by themselves, so that the pressure on the king will be much lower

The disadvantage is that these people rely on robbery to fight back, and it is okay to fight with the wind. Once they are frustrated, if the emperor does not have a strong supervisory team, military strength or prestige, these nobles will disperse in a hurry. The difference between the bandits is one - they may not have bandits who can fight. jpg [This has been proved during the Hundred Years War between Britain and France]

However, the military expenses are all at your own expense. Although the number made the little earl dizzy on the first day after the camp was pulled out, the advantage is that the entire army is in his hands, and the discipline is acceptable. The degree of formation uniformity is also high.

The ruins area is on the hillside, and it is a stretch of mansions, which is not suitable for cavalry. Of course, the little count took stock of his own funds and felt that he could not afford to support cavalry. He once again reviewed his perception of "wealth". If you make a mistake, you can only attack with infantry.

It is impossible for such a mighty team not to arouse the vigilance of the monsters. The pigmen in the slums are timid and insidious. Dirty and disgusting monsters have fought a battle, and the environment of the Flesh Demon Den is estimated to immediately kill [-]% of the morale and combat effectiveness of this army.

In contrast, the ruins area is much simpler. Apart from being eerie, there is nothing here.

There are other places that challenge San, those old cloisters, labyrinth-like rooms, huge manors and stained glass that tell old stories, in the shadows, as if hiding enemies, but that's all.

In fact, as soon as he stepped into the ruins area, the little count regretted that he hadn't organized a large army to come in earlier. One torch could only illuminate a little bit of the environment, but all four torches were lit, barely maintaining a slight light advantage.

However, when an army came in, the scouts smashed the rotten wood and furniture without hesitation, and set up a few bonfires in the square outside the ruins and ruins, the atmosphere was completely different.

When the follow-up infantry squadron entered and further lit the camp with spiked long-handled torch posts, the accompanying carpenters and engineers quickly dug trenches, installed spear walls and horse repellents, and used the dismantled stones and wood as roadblocks. After setting up tents, raising flags, and turning into a standard field command camp, the eerie atmosphere seemed to disappear without a trace.

As all the troops entered, the tents were stretched together, the cook and the cook fed the horses, chopped wood, lit the stove, boiled onions, sun-dried carrots, minced bacon, and a little cheese to make a thick soup, and the smell of cooking was wafting from the camp. , the ruins seem to have suddenly become silent.

Those distorted shadows and vague screams seem to have disappeared, "Install cannons, don't be afraid to damage things, if you encounter a strong enemy, release smoke and call for cannons" The ruins are distributed in a ring around a small square, The artillery installed in the camp can just penetrate the corridor and cause damage to any building.

"Separate the gunpowder, where are the purchased bombs? Keep them safe, those things are enough to blow us all to the sky!" The procured mine explosives were placed in wooden boxes one after another.

"Advance according to the way of the army, don't engage in the adventure team's set, use spears and swords to block upwards, muskets and bombs mainly annihilate, don't use any martial arts!" Standing on the wooden box, she gave a lecture to the surrounding soldiers, because she said That's right, everyone doesn't

Rebuttal, but the little count and some adventurers don't quite understand.

Fortunately, the veteran also thinks she is fine, this is the style of the army, who the hell is playing martial arts with you, anyway, there is not much space, the shield wall, spear wall, muskets and crossbows are just right along the passage. When entering a room or hall, cross the cover directly, if not, use bombs and artillery to break through walls and doors.

All the weird things were collected and transported out, and the priests from the big cities invited and the holy water were cursed to "conquer", and the taboo books were directly set on fire.

However, on the last point, the little earl had a big disagreement, but was finally persuaded by Xiao Xiao, "Are you here to solve the problem of the ancestor, or do you want to be the second ancestor?" In the end, the little earl could only reluctantly agree Let's burn all these harmful things.

As a result, the ancestor who was hiding in the heart of darkness was startled when he didn't notice, and almost rushed out and shouted "stop" at the beginning.

Ask, what is the painting style of an infantry squadron transferred from the Road Bandits attacking a ruin full of valuables?

It was quite professional, and the portraits, badges, and title deeds had to be handed over to the little earl, and they were not interested in these items with noble emblems and noble status.

And the gems, the strange trinkets had to be turned in too, the nun and the count convinced them.

The reason can be summed up in one word, that is, there may be a curse, and you can hide it if you are not afraid of death. Looking at the monsters that are not dead or alive in the ruins, almost everyone thinks that safety comes first. Is to live to enjoy, not to make money) no life spent O

As for the ordinary gold and silver coins that obviously won't cause any problems, they can only let them divide it themselves.

After the disgusting rotten liquid came back with a full load, everyone's enthusiasm was ignitedO

Inside the ruins are mainly two kinds of beast monsters, spiders and grave worms, as well as many heretics and skeleton soldiers. Assign a team of musketeers to the room attack team where there may be cultists.

Don't say anything, before opening the door, first fire three rounds of musketry, and then shout the old god to die, the new god is also an idiot slogan, to stimulate those cultists to rush out one by one, it's easy, big shield-crossbow-throw Bullets, a very standard attack formation.

The maces in the front row are effective in piercing armor, the crossbow bolts in the middle are very effective in the way of killing, and the grenadiers in the back row are fine as long as they don't throw Molotov cocktails on their own people.

After changing the style of play, the number of people attrition caused by cultists and undead splashing with corrosive liquid will decrease rapidly. If they feel mentally unwell, they will withdraw immediately. The field medical camp outside has prepared enough narcotic tinctures and OvO small biscuit.

After psychological counseling, the comfort of the purchased whiskey, and a good night's sleep in a safe camp, he is a qualified hero again.

And I have to say that humans are really similar to goblins in some characteristics, that is, the number can really bring a sense of security. A team of four walks in the dark ruins full of dangers, with only simple torches and low-quality weapons in their hands. The pressure is increasing every minute and every second.

And an infantry squadron is ready to advance layer by layer under the cover of muskets, bombs and crossbow bolts, and the number of enemies is only one-tenth of its own. The pressure disappears instantly

I

Not to mention that they came for an outing. After all, there are quite a few people injured by the arrows of the skeleton soldiers, the witchcraft of the cultists, and the corrosive liquid. However, the existence of the field medical camp allows these people to return to the battlefield after at most 20 minutes .

The little healing potions and holy water helped a lot.

Due to the sudden change in the painting style, the pressure of the ancestor has now been constantly +1. When he was alive, he was a fun-loving kid, and his preparations were mainly based on the adventure team. This kind of scene of the army attacking the fortifications.

A~A~—j——S'

brother one hundred and one morning

When the troops advanced to the church on the west side of the ruins, they couldn't push it a little bit. The cultists clung to it and repelled several breakthrough attacks by the infantry squad. The stone church was difficult to ignite and destroy. The 12-pound artillery The lethality is too low for this kind of stone building.

In the attack plan, the little earl chose plan No. [-], which is to let veterans and other elite adventurers break in from the side corridor under the cover of a feint attack by mercenaries. Once there is internal support, the infantry squadron will have no problem breaking through the church gate.

The nun and Raymond are supporters of this plan. They both think that the church is too strong and it is irrational to storm it, and the two clergymen do not want the church to be destroyed.

The bandit Disma hopes to set fire to smoke out the cultists inside. After all, they are not things that don’t breathe. Blow up the roof of the church with dynamite, attack condescendingly with a longbow and throw Molotov cocktails.

In this way, the infantry team can deal with the cultists in a relatively complete formation, and can also get the help of the corridor roof and simple barricades.

The veteran is a supporter of this No. [-] plan. He feels that this plan can not only avoid substantial damage to the church, but also reduce the loss of troops. Blocking the door to harvest is indeed less lossy than the feint attack plan, and it is safe.

The last one is Xiao Zaizi and Zhaoxia's No. [-] plan, which is also the most radical plan.

"Didn't we bring the lumber and the craftsman? Let the town assemble the heavy cast below

The stone machine, and then dismantled the stones of the ruins as ammunition, covered them with firepower, smashed the roof and walls, replaced the stones with explosives, and buried them directly. "Then the cannon loaded with shotguns, the light torsion trebuchet and the incendiary bottle directly ignited the small square at the door, and then covered it with firepower, highlighting the joy of blowing up for me.

Then, the plan was opposed by almost everyone except the veterans, because it would destroy the loot, destroy the integrity of the building, and damage the valuable and historic cathedral.

You must know that this was built when the territory was rich. There are seven spires in a luxurious church with triple corridors and double courtyards.

It can be said to be magnificent, and those mercenaries have long wanted to go in and loot it. Even if artworks, decorations, and gems must be handed in—they are afraid of being cursed—but there must be a lot of safe gold inside. of.

If such a majestic church is completely smashed, how long will it take to dig out the ruins, and although the spoils have to be handed in, the earl said that he will give them gold coins according to the amount.

Everyone is waiting to make a fortune, and a small risk of life is worth a try. In the end, the least safe adventurer plan was rejected, and the safest and most costly trebuchet plan was also rejected. , choose the second option.
