Chapter 379 Rescue
On one side is a densely wooded mountain ridge and on the other side is a large clear lake with sparkling water. The sun is setting and the scenery is pleasant. Being in this natural scenery is refreshing.
But in front of them, the broken eaves and remnants of the Black Scorpion City formed a strong contrast. There were broken bones and blood stains all over the city and outside, and there were no corpses left behind by the clans and demonic beasts. A group of soldiers busily rummaged through the rubble, desperately digging through the pressed rocks, wood, and dirt.
"Why did Black Scorpion City come to be built here?" asked Dipp to his own question. If it is used as a sanatorium or villa, the environment of Black Scorpion City is of course very pleasant. But as a fortress, it's not a good location. Whether it is a demonic beast in the water or a demonic beast on the mountain, it is easy to ambush and approach.
Moreover, there is very little land that can be cultivated on this side of the mountain and the water side. So Dipu was a little puzzled: it's not that there are no other places, there are many ownerless territories in the Bekaa Valley, why would Elder Sima choose such a territory?
Andrés on the side had an obvious sense of rapport, and he took the initiative to explain: "I heard that there is copper and iron ore on this mountain, and Elder Sima wants to fight. He's paid a lot of money to get here!"
"Whoa!" cheered the digging soldiers. They quickened their movements and cleared an exit to a basement. The door to the exit opened from the inside, and I saw haggard figures crawling out one after another.
Dipu already knew that this was one of the life-saving tricks of the family. It was in the city of Dustin in Tin that as soon as the walls were built, the first buildings built in the city were such basements. And it's the kind of solid basement that is thickly wrapped with boulders, which is to prevent some earth-based demonic beasts from breaking through the ground.
According to the family members, such small basements will also be built between the ridges in the future, so that the cultivators can save their lives in time and wait for rescue. So when you come to Black Scorpion City, the first thing you do is rescue the people in the basement.
As soon as it was dawn today, Dipu and Andres led more than 300 elites to the rescue. They didn't dare to bring too many people, and they were ready to do so at any time, in case the monster was strong. It can also be withdrawn in time to Velvet Flower City. However, the road to rescue was calm, until they reached Black Scorpion City, and the besieging demonic beasts had already retreated.
It was not only the Dipu reinforcements who arrived, but also several nearby lords. Even Philip, Sebastian, and Elder Jacob arrived. Only Elder Anthony was far away, but the high-end forces on this expedition also came six or seventy percent, and the elite troops also reached thousands of people.
"Oh!" another cheer, and another basement was successfully dug open. This time it was even more fortunate that Elder Sima was the first to crawl out with a disgraced face. He scurried over and thanked everyone first.
With the guidance of those survivors, the speed of excavation is significantly faster. Before sunset, finally all the basements were opened, and a total of more than ninety people were rescued. However, two basements were breached, and none of the people hiding inside survived. Therefore, this kind of underground rescue method is not a panacea.
Finding that so many people had survived, Elder Sima was glad. Because his private army was familiar with the structure of the city, most of them survived, and as for the hundreds of people, there was not one in ten. However, the family is also accustomed to life and death. For such casualties, it is also quite open, and there is not much sadness.
"It was a mammoth that crashed into the city wall, and there were a few monsters behind it that didn't move?......"
"This beast tide should be over 10,000, right?"
"This kind of temporary wall is too fragile, if it is a standard wall of stone ramparts, it should be able to hold it, right?"
"Bows and arrows are useless, bed crossbows are useless, and when I hear that catapults go up, they will hear a sound, but farts are useless. Just let it hit like this, no matter how strong it is, it will collapse sooner or later, right?"
"Then let's get together and kill. It's not invulnerable, is it?"
......
The chiefs were talking. They weren't alarmed. If you want to occupy this Bekaa Valley, sooner or later you will have to fight the powerful monsters here. So no one would think about dodging. The soldiers also stepped up to repair the gaps in the city walls, and lit bonfires to roast dry food. It was getting late, and the troops were going to spend the night here.
Dip also chatted casually with José and others. He didn't bring many people this time. Only fifty or so people were brought with them. And the deputies of Caponero and Andrés stayed in Velvet Flower City to preside over the defense of the city.
"Boss!" Jose's eyebrows fluttered, "they saw the armor on our bodies, and they all came to inquire, and their eyes were very hot. Or if you don't boss, you will stab them and make them bleed?"
"Hehe!" Dipu chuckled proudly, "Then slaughter it! Let them exchange food or iron tools. Our sword is hungry and thirsty!, however, we still have to make sure that we have at least one set for each of the knights and trainee knights, right?"
"Hahaha-!"
"Eh, Jose, why do you keep your armor on your body, are you addicted to wearing it?"
"Boss, Jose's second child is not going to take it off, he wants to wear it back and lie to the girl!"
"Is there such a thing?"
"Fart! and...... Call me the second ...... again."
"Hahaha-!"
"A handsome guy like me, I'm afraid that girls are, do you still need to wear props?"
"Hahaha-!"
After laughing for a while, Dipu sighed: "A good city was destroyed in one night." We need to gain a foothold here, Warcraft is a great enemy. ”
Jose smiled and said, "Actually, those large demonic beasts are not terrible. Even if the city is broken once or twice, as long as we are here, we can still repair it again and again, and sooner or later we can kill all those large demonic beasts. The most annoying thing is that there are beasts like rabbits, rats, wild boars, etc. They were no threat to their families, but they destroyed the fields, and often in a few nights, a large field was finished. ”
For such strange values of the family, Dipu is also very interested: "What should I do then?
"Apart from hunting, there is only a fence in the dividing area. These beasts reproduce quickly and are not cleanly hunted. ”
Someone on the side added: "So in the first few years of land reclamation, the harvest will definitely be poor, and we will not be able to make ends meet." But if you get through it, you'll have a good day. ”
Dipu touched his chin and pondered: "It looks like I really have to make a few sets of armor and slaughter some food! ”
"That's a good idea! Thank you, Boss. Also, when we go back this time, we will also buy more breeding chickens, breeding pigs, and raise more livestock. Anyway, the boss has already piled up so much pigweed, it's enough for a long time!"
"What hogweed? What hogweed? That's all the herbs I want! Who dares to use it indiscriminately? Beware of labor and management cutting him!"
"Hahaha!" (To be continued.) )
