After knowing the current position, Richard looked at the time, it was seven o'clock, so he said: "Okay, at eleven o'clock in the evening, gather all the generals, I want to discuss the plan to attack the blue camp tomorrow."

"Eleven o'clock?" Viscount Sim felt that this time was wonderful, wasn't this the time to rest and sleep?

But Richard nodded, and said, "Eleven o'clock! Besides, Shim, you can come by half-past eight."

Then Richard buried himself in his dinner, and a five-kilogram roasted boar rib returned to the tent and began to ponder the map, while his followers disappeared one by one

The barracks soon quieted down, except for the soldiers on patrol, everyone else gradually fell asleep, and the war was imminent, even the most undisciplined soldiers rested seriously, who didn't cherish their own lives?

Richard studied the map for a moment, then looked at the time, and Soxing lay down on Chuáng, and in his mind, the overhead view of the entire Blue Square camp was revealing little by little

As the night wore on, the camp was brightly lit, with heavily armed soldiers directing groups of slaves to carry boulders and sand onto the walls to strengthen the defenses, while large bundles of giant crossbow arrows were taken out of the storeroom

These three-meter-long giant crossbow arrows are used in the city defense arrow tower, shè distance of thousands of meters, huge power, in the entire blue camp, only four city defense giant crossbows are placed on the platform at the four corners, and now two giant crossbows have just been installed, and the other two are still in the intense assembly, and they will not be assembled until midnight

In addition to ordinary crossbow arrows, each giant crossbow is also equipped with two magic tracking crossbows, each magic tracking crossbow with 100,000 gold coins, even Lambert can't afford to buy much, if it weren't for the significance of the blue camp, Lambert wouldn't even buy a city defense crossbow, but in the way of conventional warfare, relying on guards and slaves, the warriors used their lives to resist possible attacks, and in the bloodstained land, magic giant crossbows are much more valuable than human lives

At this time, no one in the entire Blue Square camp noticed that among the large number of bats flying and foraging at night, there were several xenomorph bats with extremely large sizes, and the pictures were transmitted to Richard's consciousness through the soul link of Guò, and put together a complete top-down picture

Beside a giant crossbow that had been installed, a dozen Jing bare-chested, fierce-looking slave tamers were wielding whips, directing two adult ogres up four meters tall to walk up the city wall, all of them wearing heavy shackles and shackles, roaring fiercely around from time to time and baring their long fangs, but the consequence of their demonstration was to attract a fierce whipping

Behind the slave tamer, several calm warriors were staring at the two ogres, both of whom had thirteen-level strength, and the armor-piercing axe in their hands could cut off the ogre's bones if they were picked up

In the end, the two ogres were still caught up in the city, and they were tied to a huge winch, and then the winch slowly rotated under the impetus of the two ogres and twenty barbarian slaves, so that a giant crossbow that had been assembled for the city defense finally creaked, and was slowly pulled apart, and a dozen strands of rhinoceros skin were twisted into a bowstring

In the distance, Richard was relieved to see that the ogres were pulling out the city defense crossbows instead of city defense tools such as orbital steel mén, but he immediately remembered the terrifying cost of orbital steel mén, who would use such a facility in a bloodstained land?

A giant crossbow was loaded on the crossbow machine, and then with an order, the entire city defense giant crossbow let out a roar of rage, and even the body bounced off the ground, and the giant arrow swept into the night like lightning, and disappeared into the night

A bat flew in the night sky, and immediately the place where the giant arrow disappeared flew away, and after a while, he found the landing point of the crossbow arrow, and tried to get the shè Cheng, which was more than 1,200 meters away!

With very few exceptions, no Grand Magus can cast a spell at this distance, this kind of giant crossbow can be said to be a Magus killer if it is equipped with enough tracking arrows, and as long as you are willing to spend the money, the tracking crossbow can also add a range extension effect, then it will be able to kill targets two thousand meters away!

Fortunately, the city defense giant crossbow is expensive, most of the materials are used to increase the attack power, and there is almost no defensive function in itself, as long as it can hit the body directly, it is easy to be destroyed into a pile of parts, from this point of view, it is much less troublesome than the magic tower, Cheng Dù, otherwise, Richard will really have to consider bypassing the blue camp, but leaving such a hostile camp with heavy troops in his rear is something that any commander with a little brain will not do

Several gnomes in the blue camp rushed to the giant crossbow, calculating what to do, and then a gnome with a big white beard jumped onto the crossbow machine and began to shout loudly, directing a group of soldiers to carry pieces of iron ingots and reinforce them on the base of the crossbow machine

"Gnome?" Richard was stunned again

Gnomes are also a race of intelligence distributed in many planes, their bodies are not high, their natural strength is deficient, but they are compensated for by their superior wisdom and flexibility, some say that they are close relatives of dwarves, and some people say that gnomes are native races in the endless plane like humans

Gnomes were born alchemists and had a great talent for magic, and they were also natural candidates for assassins and killers, and Richard had long known that there were gnomes on the Faro plane, but it was said that the vast empire created by the gnomes was still in the Pale Heights, with the impassable Dragon's Top Mountains in the middle of the far west of the Pale Heights

This is the first time he has seen a gnome in Faro, these city defense giant crossbows seem to be from the hands of the gnomes, no wonder the power is far above the ordinary giant crossbows, and the jing products that are chasing Norland directly Richard still remember that in the dark blue magic room, the top alchemy equipment in the room is from the gnomes or the Jing Ling Empire

"These little things must be kept alive!" Richard immediately decided that he must hold these gnomes in his hands

The night was getting deeper, and at midnight, the last two city defense crossbows were finally tested, and the blue camp gradually fell asleep, and the scouts they sent had already determined the location of Richard's camp, judging from the distance between the two sides, the battle would start at noon tomorrow, but it was also possible that it would not trigger a war, after all, there was no direct conflict of interest between Count Lambert and Richard before today

At this moment, Count Rambot, who was thousands of miles away, was taking a copper round pipe from the talons of a telephon eagle, taking out the information inside, reading it several times, and then walking quickly to the study, looking at the topographical map of the bloodstained land hanging on the wall, caressing his beard and pondering

The blue camp is heavily marked on the map, and two of the four slave transport routes pass through the blue camp, and in the study of the blue camp stands an elderly mage who is also the earl's advisor

The Great Magician read the information several times before saying, " Richard really only brought 10,000 people, and now there are 4,000 soldiers in the blue camp who can be used to defend the camp, although the camp is slightly insufficient, but Richard also needs to pay a huge price if he wants to capture the camp, I think he will think about it carefully, after all, if the casualties are too large, even if the blue side is defeated, there will be no strength left to go west, but now it seems that the red Cossacks should be expelled as soon as possible, they and Richard are now mortal enemies, if the blue camp is well guarded, there are no red Cossack people in it, Richard is completely likely to bypass the camp and continue westward"

Count Rambert snorted and said, "It doesn't make a difference whether there is a red Cossack or not! Richard is not a guy who only has hatred in his eyes, but if he wants to attack the blue side, let him try! My troops are not like the redwoods!"

Hearing the Count's murderous words, the Great Magician couldn't help but shudder, and the Count had ended at least a thousand lives with his own hands, until now, whenever he was in a good mood or when he was bad, he liked to cut off the heads of one or two slaves

In Lambert's own words, it is the most wonderful moment of life when the head hits the ground

Now the earl is obviously not in a very good mood, because he did not expect Richard to really lead the army to the vicinity of the blue camp, obviously with bad intentions

The archmage cautiously asked, "Lord Earl Sarenwell is still waiting for your news!"

Rambot's face became even more ugly, and he snorted heavily, and said: "Don't go! I don't know what this kid is up to! The Bloodstained Land is indeed a féirou, but not everyone can come and take a bite, how many people have I killed, how much price has I paid to have today's scale and harvest, he is just a prince who has not yet obtained a name, and he also wants to be on the chā here, why should he want to go? If he wants to go, then he will find a way to use me as a knife, so that there is no mén!"

The archmage nodded and said, "Okay, I know how to answer"

The archmage withdrew from the study, but Lambert ignored the darkness of the night, still standing in front of the map, staring closely at the marker of the blue camp, in fact, in the bottom of his heart, the count was not in a hurry, he had already prepared, and there was still that person in the camp, and if Richard came, he would only hit his head and break the blood

At this moment, the castle of the Marquis of the Iron Triangle Empire, Marquis Yang, is still brightly lit, and the center of the conference room has been emptied, and a high-level magic sand table map has been placed instead, which shows the terrain of the southern part of the Iron Triangle Empire and the bloodstained land

Sarenwell was standing in front of the sand table, commanding Bāng with the slender and retractable Mithril in his hand, and pointed to the sand table while explaining: "I expect that Richard's troops will quickly break through the first hundred kilometers, and build confidence for all the nobles, so that more Sequoia nobles can join, get reinforcements and more support, and our army will be divided into three parts, firstly, the lightly armed troops led by Sir Al will go straight to the valley of the blood banner and establish a defense there, and firmly resist Richard's attack for at least three days!"
