Chapter 1006: Floating Defense Net?
"Hey, go over and level the ground over there, and fill up the bunker over there! Lord Keane will be here soon!" the overseer kept loudly issuing orders to the soldiers in the brigade.
Supplies from the Kabas Empire arrived on the same day, as did supplies from the surrounding small countries.
So the coast quickly got busy.
In fact, the work is also very simple, that is, to fill in some areas with relatively large slopes or uneven areas that are not suitable for building defenses, and use a large number of iron tools provided by Jia Zhengjin to fill in the work, so that he can "summon" defensive fortresses and arrow towers one by one.
Of course, this little resource was not enough to complete the defense, and it was busy until it was almost dark, and most of the important materials had been consumed, but there was a lot of stone.
Due to the geographical environment between the Kabasi Empire and neighboring countries, the production of stone mines is particularly high.
Wait until the materials are exhausted, although looking at this defensive line feels a little insufficient. However, they can only wait for the subsequent materials to arrive, and the stone alone will not be able to build the fortress and arrow tower.
Jia Zhengjin ordered the work to be stopped, informing him that today's work was over, and the officials immediately issued an order calling on the soldiers to withdraw from the coast.
However, after they withdrew, they did not rest immediately, but took advantage of the early time to move to the huge primeval forest near the coast, and began to quickly cut down trees and collect essential materials such as vines.
"Lord Keane, resources from other countries are trying to mobilize. Donald came over and said, "A large number of members of our Magic Guild participate in resource transportation tasks, and through wind magic, flight magic, summoning magic, etc., the total time consumed by resource mobilization can be greatly reduced, and it is estimated that resources can be successfully delivered within three days!"
"Three days?" Jia Zhengjin nodded slightly, "I just don't know when the Sea Clan will start, in case they launch an attack before our side is ready, it will be more troublesome!"
"Don't worry, Lord Keane!" said King Smai of the Kabastian Empire as he approached him, "It takes time to mobilize troops for any major battle, even the Sea Clan. Although they had already received the news in advance that they were going to attack the Temple of Wisdom, the Sea Clan leader Sage would definitely wait for all the Sea Clan troops to assemble before he could dispatch. The eight sea tribes will be distributed in different sea areas, and it will take a long time to gather. It is impossible to dispatch in three or five days, especially since they are the one who takes the initiative to attack, and they have to prepare sufficient food and various magical materials. ”
Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin was a little relieved. However, he was also more cautious: "Even so, we must not take it lightly! What I am most afraid of is that the other side will send troops to attack in advance, destroy our defense construction, and take us by surprise!"
"Lord Keane need not worry," Arthur said hurriedly, "we have stepped up our patrols and tripled our Coast Scouting Force. Anything that blows the wind and grass can be spotted immediately!"
"I've sent someone to set up a sensing magic array in the deep sea area, and once the people of the Sea Clan make any changes, you can know in advance!" Donald also said.
"That's the best!" These things don't seem to be Jia Zhengjin's worries, the four imperial kings and many strong people have already taken care of everything. If only Holy Dragon City also had such talents, then he could not worry about so many trivial things and play games with peace of mind. Thinking of this, he turned to everyone and said, "That's all for today's progress, wait for more resources to arrive before continuing." Everyone go back to rest, recuperate and be just as busy tomorrow!"
"Yes!!" The kings of the four empires and many powerful men nodded in response, and returned to their camps after saying goodbye to Jia Zhengjin respectfully.
However, Donald didn't leave, and waited for everyone else to leave before he said to Jia Zhengjin: "Lord Kean, I heard that there is a magical floating city in the Holy Dragon City?"
Jia Zhengjin didn't know why he asked like this, so he nodded and said, "That's right! What do you want to say?"
"May I ask if Lord Keane can summon a similar floating city here?" Donald asked, "or can you transfer your floating city through space magic?"
Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin was a little puzzled: "Why?"
"That's right," replied Donald respectfully, "and it occurred to me when you summoned those forts and arrow towers. Since your Holy Dragon City has a floating city, if you can move it here, it will definitely be of great use to us!"
"How?"
"Lord Keane, although the Sea Clan can turn flat land into an ocean in a short period of time, it can achieve the best combat environment. However, no matter how good the water level is, there is a limit, and it cannot continue to rise after a certain altitude. "That is, if we can have one or more floating cities, which will work with the fortresses and arrow towers below. A large number of coalition soldiers can be stationed in the floating city and condescendingly shoot arrows to attack when the Sea Clan attacks!, and our magicians can also play a role, using all kinds of magic to fight enemies on the surface of the sea, and contribute their strength to this battle!"
"Didn't you say that most magic didn't work against the Sea Clan?" Jia Zhengjin looked at him suspiciously.
"Master Keane," Donald laughed, "when we say ineffective against the Sea Clan, we mean when magic is used within the range of the sea. But if we fight the enemies on the sea, magic can still be very useful!"
"Ah~~ I see! One is in the sea, surrounded by water, and the other is on the sea, unhindered, right?" Jia Zhengjin suddenly realized.
"Exactly!" said Donald, smiling, "I just wonder if the proposal I came up with on the spur of the moment will work?"
"Yes!" "Now anything that is conducive to the combat of the Human Empire's coalition forces, Jia Zhengjin will work hard to achieve. Isn't it a floating city? Although all other resources have been used up, there are still many stone mines. He could have made stone bricks out of stone mines, and then built a simple floating tower above the fortress's defenses.
You don't have to build it like a floating city, as long as you build an aerial platform that is high enough to accommodate a large number of soldiers and magicians, and a little more guardrails can make a big difference to the floating defense tower!
As Donald said, an air defense platform that can accommodate a large number of soldiers and mages will be even more effective if it spans the entire coast and forms a complete defensive network with the fortress below!
"Lord Keane, is it really possible?" Donald suddenly showed a look of joy when he heard this. He just had a whim, but he didn't expect to be able to do it.
"Well, President Donald, you have a very good suggestion!" Jia Zhengjin said, "You also go back to rest first, I will deal with the affairs of the Floating City tonight!"
"Then there's Lord Lawiene!"
