It was close to midnight when we rushed back to the manor. By the time we got back to the big house, most of the people had already fallen asleep, except for the noticeable increase in the number of sentinels, and Mr. Housekeeper who had not rested.

The housekeeper was relieved to see us back. He led us directly into the house and ordered the food to be brought for us.

"Gentlemen, what is the situation outside?" Mr. Butler called out the other unrelated people after arranging the matter, and asked us in a low voice.

"Can the sentries still be contacted?" I asked.

Mr. Butler shook his head and nodded, then hurriedly explained, "Some have lost contact, while others still have, and still tell me that nothing is going on, which is a bit strange. ”

I shook my head and said, "It's not strange Mr. Butler. The other side is going to sneak attack here, not to attack with great fanfare, they divide into many teams to come here just to narrow down the target, if they encounter a patrol, they can eat it, if they can't eat it, the patrol team will also report the number of people they have encountered. But when it comes time to attack the manor, you'll find that you're much more than you receive. ”

Mr. Butler nodded, still a little puzzled and asked, "Then how many people are there?" It seems to you that they are trying to take advantage of the opportunity for Sir to reclaim the remnants of Silva to sneak up here, but if it is the other way around, could it be that they are trying to feint here and force Mister to withdraw? ”

"Nope. If that's the case, there's no need to be so cautious at all. They should use a lot of momentum and even show up to let our people find out, wouldn't that be better? I pointed outside and said, "We'll see them tomorrow and we'll know what they're trying to do." I think you should inform Mr. Balcas first and let him know what's going on here. ”

"Oh. I had already contacted my husband during the day. He told me to ask for your help in guarding this place. He will end the fighting there as soon as possible. Mr. Butler said in a confident tone.

Looking at this, I know that he has not yet realized the severity of the form. I glanced at Walker, who quickly understood what I meant, and he stood up and said, "Mr. Butler, please go and contact Mr. Balcas again, there are some things I need to talk to him." ”

Mr. Butler was slightly stunned and said, "Am I going with me too?" ”

Walker nodded, and took the butler's arm as he walked upstairs, when Mr. Butler seemed to realize that it might not be in the form he thought, and without waiting for Walker, he quickened his pace.

At this time, the housekeeper brought all the food prepared for us, and when the food deliverer had retreated, I looked at everyone and said, "Hurry up, everyone, and then let's go outside and set up the defenses." ”

About ten minutes later, Walker and Mr. Butler were back with us. Walker was a little impatient to see the food, and Mr. Butler looked worried.

I was almost finished, and after taking two sips of juice, I looked at Walker and said, "What did you say to Pablo?" You see the old butler looks like he has gone bankrupt overnight. ”

"Said what we were going to do. But I'm a little more serious. Walker said with a small wicked smile.

I shook my head and said a little pessimistically, "Don't laugh. Maybe tomorrow we'll see something worse than what you told Pablo. ”

Walker shrugged his shoulders as he ate, and after swallowing, he said nonchalantly, "So what." We're going to have a good fight with them here anyway. ”

When Walker had finished eating, we walked out of the big house with the butler and began to patrol the defenses throughout the area. In the courtyard, I pointed to the house and said, "This house will be our last line of defense." If we get into this house, then we are probably making a final struggle. ”

Hearing me say this, the oil bottle, Paro and Fabry looked at each other, and seemed to have no bottom in their hearts. I shook my head, "Don't worry too much, although it is the last struggle, as long as you don't collapse, you should be able to hold this place for a long time, of course, it depends largely on whether the previous battle can cause enough casualties and morale damage to the other side." ”

"It's better not to happen." Mr. Butler said worriedly.

I glanced at him, pointed to the wall, and said, "The area around the wall and this yard will be the penultimate line of defense. If the other side attacks outside the wall, there will be many holes in the wall, and then we can build some fortifications in the courtyard to defend the courtyard, and it is best to dig deep pits. After I finished speaking, I pointed to the house again, "Those rooms with windows facing the courtyard can also be arranged for defensive purposes, and those windows should be blocked with turning heads or stones, and leaving a shooting hole." Especially the large platform, you can make good use of the balcony, these places can be set up with relatively strong fire points. If the opponent invades the courtyard, we can strike below and above at the same time, even if the defense point in the courtyard is captured, the inside of the house can still condescendingly attack these people. ”

Walker turned to look at the butler and said, "How many machine guns do we have?" Is there enough bullets? ”

The butler nodded and said, "Bullets are definitely enough." Sir had a lot of ammunition in reserve for the last operation against the guerrillas, and now there are a lot of them in the warehouse on the other side of the yard. There are also superfluous firearms of all kinds. ”

"Get all that ammunition out and move it to a safe place." Walker heard that the ammunition depot was actually in the courtyard, and still said a little angrily.

I also think it's a bit outrageous, but luckily the wizard wouldn't know, otherwise he would have completed his mission as long as he took the team to blast it once. I looked at Mr. Butler, "Are all machine guns M240?" ”

"Pretty much. I see it all the same. After the butler finished speaking, he continued: "There are many other things, rifles, rifle cartridges, this M4A1 that you are using now, as well as grenades, mines and bazookas. ”

"Take out the RPG, which you call a bazooka. Mr. Butler, you'd better think about where to put those munitions, it's too dangerous to keep in the yard, and it's very useful to us, and we can't let those things blow us up, let alone lose them. I said.

The butler nodded, and after a little thought, said, "Is it okay in the basement?" ”

"Where's the basement?" Walker pointed to the house and said, "Is it this house?" ”

The butler nodded, "Yes." It's just under this house. ”

Walker shook his head, "A bunch of bombs under the ass?" He looked at me as he spoke.

I sighed, "Just leave it there." If it does get to the other side, then we will almost all go to hell after that. There's nothing to worry about, as long as it's safe enough. ”

The housekeeper nodded immediately when I said this, "It's safe, it's very safe, it's actually very sturdy, and it's clean and tidy." ”

"Then put it there. But Mr. Butler, can you find some young, strong, courageous men to carry ammunition in battle? I asked.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Butler nodded and said, "It's totally possible." There is no problem with this. “

I nodded, pointing outside, "Let's go out and have a look." ”

After walking outside the courtyard, Walker looked at the winding road and said, "This road is very important to us. In fact, I am not very optimistic about the two lines of defense below, I am optimistic about this road up. If this road can be defended, the guerrillas will pay a great price. ”

I nodded, "All the fortifications on the road will be mastered." And do some disguise, so that the other party can see these fortifications on the side of the road from a long distance. They should not rush to open fire at the beginning of the battle. To wait for the order to open fire. Send the RPG here and use it for the people who guard it. ”

"Pinto is free to move around, find targets to snipe, and remember to hit the opponent who looks like the commander or the opponent's strong point of fire. But don't go down, just exercise on this road. Walker said to Pinto.

I waited for Walker to finish and then said, "The rest of us need to be on standby at all times, and be a mobile force to support and respond to emergencies at any time. I said, pointing to the line of defense below, "How many people are there to arrange?" ”

"Twenty people. I'm not going to put too many people there. As I said earlier, this path is the key to defense. Walker said.

I nodded in understanding, "If you can't hold it at that time, let them withdraw as soon as possible." We don't have a lot of people, so we don't need to fight to the death. When the time comes, we will take care of the people below, otherwise the guerrillas will not let them up easily. ”

Walker said, "Do you want me to command down there?" I'm afraid those people will be served in one pot soon. ”

I shook my head, "No. Or I'm down there, let the oil bottle follow me down, and he will translate for me. I'll time my retreat. ”

"Okay. What do you need to go down? Walker asked.

I looked underneath and asked, "What's down there now?" ”

"Two M240s, nothing special except this one. The rifle is the M16. I arranged both machine guns in the inner circle. Walker said.

"Understood. Tomorrow at dawn I will go down. Mr. Butler, you have to organize the transfer of arms overnight. And organize the porters. After I had finished instructing the butler, I said to the Tow Bottle and Walker: "The three of us go down and have a look, and the others will go back and rest, and there may not be a chance to sleep well after dawn." ”

Once we got down, Walker and I took a brief look around. The situation is not bad, the people stationed here are very vigilant, the people on duty do not desert or doze off, and those who are resting are also sleeping with guns and clothes. After nothing in particular, I said to Walker, "I'm here tonight with the oil bottle, you go back and coordinate with Mr. Butler first." ”

"What? Are you worried that the other party will come tonight? Walker said.

I shook my head, "I'm worried about that guy. I'm afraid that guy will come over with the team first. ”

"Okay. I went back to keep an eye on it, and I had to ask the housekeeper to move all the people in the courtyard away. Walker finished and walked back the way he had come.
