On the way up the mountain, Liang Lidong also saw several patrols, these people were wearing light but definitely not bad defensive leather armor, in addition to each carrying a mace, each of them also had a crossbow pinned to their waists. In the game "Fran Continent", the one-handed mace has almost become the standard equipment of human infantry, this weapon is easy to manufacture, not easy to damage, and the power is particularly strong, no matter what type of armor you encounter, a hammer down, you can have a reaction, unlike a long sword weapon, if it is not a divine weapon, there is no weapon specialization skills, when you encounter a steel can, a sword goes down, and it can only break the long sword itself.

The hand crossbow, on the other hand, is a very valuable ranged weapon. It costs a lot to equip several of these patrols, but it can also be seen that Uther is quite strong in defending the gold mines.

At the entrance of the mine, there was still a garrison of more than 100 people. The equipment was better than the patrols, and they even built towers and small pillboxes near the entrance to the cave, which was completely militarized. Such a garrison force can hardly withstand it without an organization that is prepared for militarization. Of course, if you can call up a special organization with hundreds or thousands of professionals like the Players' Guild, that's another matter.

As soon as they reached the vicinity of the mine, a middle-aged butler-like man came with a booklet in his hand, and Uther looked at it for a moment, and then said, "Let Peter bring another booklet as well, and we will check it regularly." ”

The middle-aged butler took the order and left, and at this time, the city lord's wife approached Liang Lidong and asked, "Your Excellency Beta, what do you think of such a guard arrangement?" Is there anything that needs to be changed? ”

Liang Lidong shook his head: "No need, there is no better garrison force than this." Besides, I'm not good at leading troops to fight, so it doesn't make much sense for you to ask me for my opinion? ”

"Really?" The city lord's wife nodded noncommittally: "But Your Excellency gives me a feeling that you not only know how to lead troops to fight, but also a battle-hardened general. ”

Liang Lidong shrugged: "You are too exalted to me!" ”

Although Liang Lidong is a lord, in fact, he really doesn'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, as long as he asked these subordinates to deduce the battle situation in advance, he would implement the war strategy. Moreover, as a mediocre professional, although he is indeed slightly weak to players of the same level, but in the war, mediocre players have a great advantage, and the combat style can be improvised, and most importantly, as a god-descended nobleman, he will randomly get two military strategy specialties in the middle and late stages, which is to put it bluntly, the range aura, which can slightly enhance the strength of the surrounding allies. These aura skills don't mean much 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, who can fight on the front line, and can be resurrected indefinitely...... For soldiers, there is nothing more morale-boosting than this. Therefore, Liang Lidong led the troops to fight, as long as the traps, tricks and other factors were eliminated, he would directly lead the troops over. High morale can be transformed into powerful combat effectiveness, and Liang Lidong also has his own range aura skills, so his direct troops are extremely strong in combat effectiveness, and his proudest battle is to take two thousand cavalry to directly assault the opponent's 10,000 large array, the first impact directly chiseled the opponent's formation, and the second impact killed the opponent's commander. Then the remaining thousands of people fled like migrating antelopes on the grasslands.

The city lord's wife sighed cutely, "Excessive self-humility is not a good quality, it will only be said to be hypocritical. ”

"But I really don't know how to fight." Liang Lidong spread his hands, and he was also helpless.

The city lord's wife glanced at Liang Lidong, and then followed her husband into the mine, followed by Liang Lidong. Because of the efficiency required for mining, the narrow passage has been widened by at least six meters, and now a dozen people can walk side by side without looking crowded. There were many bare-chested laborers who came out of the cave carrying a load of gravel and dirt, dumped the waste at the entrance of the cave, and then were taken over by the people waiting outside and carried to another place to dump it.

The three of them kept walking down, and soon Liang Lidong found that the mine road had actually been divided into three, and along the way, a dark golden light could be seen looming on the stone wall of the passage. The gold content of this gold mine is higher than he imagined, no wonder the two guilds in the game are fighting so hard, if converted into real currency, the hundreds of high-level executives of the two guilds can become multimillionaires in minutes.

On the left side of the three-way road, there is a hollowed-out area, made into a basement, not only with a door, but also with tables and chairs, a wall lamp, and an inner room.

After the three of them entered the inside, the city lord covered the door, he sat on the main seat himself, and then asked Liang Lidong to sit down, and said: "I invited Your Excellency here this time, in fact, I want to ask you to help think of a way!" We've had some troubles, because the gold mine is in the interest of all of us, and you shouldn't just be left alone in the countryside to enjoy your happiness. ”

"Well, I already guessed that there would be such a thing, please say." Liang Lidong sighed helplessly.

Uther tapped his rough fingers on the table and said, "Because the news of our gold mine development here has spread, many forces are now sending spies here. They usually don't show up during the day, but at night, it's different, although the spies and scouts they send aren't too powerful, but the more times they come, our personnel start to lose money, and they can't sleep well every night, which is a big blow to their morale. And lack of sleep is a big problem, and I don't see anything wrong with it for the time being, but I know very well that people who don't rest well for a long time will become very irritable, and I am afraid that it will cause even greater disasters in the future. ”

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. Uther's worry was very reasonable, Liang Lidong thought for a while, and said, "Actually, it's not too difficult...... All you need to do is set up a large magical defense circle around here. Everything is normal during the day, and when it is night, the magic array will be activated, and some soldiers will be left to keep vigil in turn. ”

"Set up a magic circle like a castle?" Uther was a little embarrassed: "It's too expensive, and it's going to take a long time. On top of that, we don't have enough casters to set up magic circles. When our Longman family became the city lord, the royal family sent more than a dozen spellcasters over, and it took half a month to set up the magic array. ”

The City Lord's Lady said, "Since Your Excellency Beta suggested that we use the magic array, there must be a way to shorten the time of the magic array, right?" ”

"That's true." Liang Lidong said: "Your castle is arranged with a strategic large-scale magic array, and I have built and arranged a medium-sized general-purpose magic array. Although the protective effect is not as good as the magic array in your castle, it is not far behind, and the most important thing is that the production process of this magic array is simple, and it does not cost any materials, and it can be completed with only about three hundred gold coins. ”

Uther said with some excitement: "It seems that Your Excellency is indeed proficient in all kinds of magic, although my daughter has studied in the Red Magic Tower for several years, but she has not learned any other aspects of magic except for various fire magic. Your Excellency Beta, then please help us set up the magic array, and when the matter is done, we will be thanked. ”

"If I'm alone, progress is a bit slow." Liang Lidong continued: "I hope that Fence Fence can come to help, and it is better to call Carl's female students as well, although she is not very capable, but one more person is always more strength." ”

Uther was a little worried: "Fence Rah doesn't seem to know the knowledge of the magic array, I'm afraid she will hold you back." ”

Liang Lidong said: "It's okay, I can teach, Fence La is not a stupid person, she can learn." ”

"Okay! Then it's decided. "Uther is a little excited, and now he has solved another troublesome matter, the most important thing is that the construction of the magic array is a very advanced knowledge, and ordinary spellcasters have no chance to learn it if they want to, and Fen La follows Beta to build a magic array, even if he can't learn it, but at least he can lay a foundation.

Liang Lidong thought for a while and said, "I've been staying here with Fence Fence for the past few days, but if the two of us with anti-assassination abilities are gone, what about the safety of your castle?" ”

"Heighten your vigilance!" Uther shrugged: "Let the soldiers in the castle work in three shifts, anyway, it only takes a few days, and they can hold out." If you really can't do it, just open the magic circle under the castle and spend some time. ”

At this time, the hidden door was opened, and the middle-aged housekeeper came 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 walked in outside the door, and he said in a little anxious: "City Lord, just now there was a group of noble carriages from outside the city, they claimed to be royal envoys, and they are now heading in the direction of the castle, and it is estimated that they have arrived at the castle now." ”

Royal envoys? Uther was a little surprised, what were they doing in Winterwind City, a border city where birds don't? I don't know about the gold mine.
