Chapter 72 - Prelude
In front of the team, the strong tiger man was talking with the middle-aged man.
“Second brother, I heard that the lord here is a young tauren. Big brother, why does he have to get along with the tauren? Could it be that there are treasures in this territory?” The strong tiger man asked curiously.
“You don’t care who he is, it has nothing to do with us.” The middle-aged human said indifferently, “However, I guess he will be dead soon.”
“You mean, Big Brother wants to kill him?” The strong tiger man turned his head and said.
“Never-nine-nine-ten, I passed by my eldest brother’s room a few days ago, and I vaguely seemed to hear that eldest brother was discussing something with someone, saying that he was killing some lord. I guess it should be this tauren.” The middle-aged man whispered. road.
“Second brother, killing the lord is a serious crime, and he is still a tauren. I’m afraid that killing it will cause big trouble.” The strong tiger man was a little worried.
“Big brother, he is a smart person. He must have already figured out a way out.” The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, “I just don’t know, what kind of calculus is big brother playing this time.”
“Yeah, big brother is getting more and more incomprehensible.”
The strong tiger man shook his head.
Neither of them noticed that while they were talking, a transparent bug was floating in the sky.
There were thousands of Void Floaters summoned last time. A few days ago, Baal had dispersed them around the territory. As long as there was a Void Floating Matrix by his side, he could constantly receive feedback.
And floating in the void will automatically distinguish various dangerous situations and issue an alarm.
“Hehe, it looks like a guest is coming.” Baal’s eyes flashed coldly.
Although he didn’t know what the two said about the big brother, he had a holiday with him, but since the other party wanted his life, Barr naturally had to turn these people into corpses first.
……
A loud horn sound broke the silence of the night.
“Emergency assembly number, what happened?”
Boar Latina was awakened by the sound of a horn outside. This was an order for the guards in the village to assemble urgently. It would only sound when there was combat action. Although he was not a member of the guards, he also quickly got up and dressed. clothing.
“Do you know what happened?”
“I do not know.”
When Latin came out, a lot of villagers had gathered outside, and everyone didn’t understand what was going on for a while, and they were chatting and discussing.
Latin thought for a while, then turned and walked towards the council hall.
……
“Second child, wake up quickly.”
“Emergency assembly order!”
In the barracks, the soldiers who were still sleeping heard the sound of the trumpet, got up nervously, quickly put on their equipment, and assembled towards the training ground.
“The first team is assembled!”
“The second team is assembled!”
“MN-5 tactical armored units are on standby.”
……
In the chamber, everyone is discussing the current situation.
Barr cleared his throat and said, “There are about 1,000 bandits coming here, most of them are around 40. In addition, there are about 100 advanced occupations, all of which are in their early 50s, and two of them are in the 50s. A rare elite.”
“What do you think?”
After everyone heard this, their expressions all relaxed.
“I see, these bandits are hitting rocks with eggs.”
Lilith said lightly, “With our current strength, not to mention defending the city, even if we are fighting outside, we can wipe them out in half an hour at most.”
Hailan Village is not what it used to be.
During the recent period of time, the funds in the territory are very sufficient. Barr has continuously recruited forty Tier 3 elite secret mages. These are elite advanced soldiers, plus other arms and a large number of guards. Strength is not weak.
In particular, there are a large number of rare elites among the guards.
After the market was upgraded, Baal acquired a lot of blueprints for weapons and equipment. In addition, everyone has been upgraded to level 37 in this long time, and the strength of the guards has also been greatly enhanced.
There are thousands of thieves in a mere area, so it’s nothing to worry about.
“The captain is right. These little thieves dare to attack us. I really don’t know whether to live or die.” The tauren Lao Hei agreed.
“My lord, I think this is a bit strange.”
John frowned slightly and said, “The Orc Empire is famous. Even if these bandits don’t know our strength, they don’t know that this is the territory of the Empire. Where did they get the courage to attack the territory of the Empire?”
“It’s a little strange.”
“Does it have a grudge against us?”
Everyone also felt that John’s words had some truth, but some did not understand the purpose of this group of people.
“Well, I also think the purpose of these people is not pure.” Barr nodded, “I heard from their conversation that this matter seems to be related to their leader, but it’s a bit strange, this person did not appear in the team. inside.”
Now the situation is unclear, and everyone is confused, but the most important thing at the moment is to defeat the incoming enemy.
“Lilith, you immediately arrange for people to arm the city wall. The most important place is the entrance of the village. Now we don’t have an energy shield. The defense of the gate is too weak, and it is easy to be penetrated by siege equipment. Send more people.” Barr ordered road.
“In addition, the dock is a weak point in our defense. You arrange for a team to ambush on the cliff to prevent them from attacking the dock. The number of people doesn’t need to be too large. It’s enough to stick to our side for support.” Balian said.
“Be careful not to let the enemy find out that we are prepared.”
“Yes.” Lilith replied.
“John.” Barr continued, “Go and appease the villagers outside, so that they don’t panic, just stay at home as usual.”
After everyone finished their discussion, they each took their orders and left.
……
Backyard.
Baal awakens the dormant Black Phantom.
“What’s the matter, kid, what’s the trouble again?” Black Ghost opened his scarlet eyes.
“It’s not too much trouble.”
After listening to Barr’s description of the situation, Black Phantom said indifferently: “With just these little thieves, do you still need Uncle Ben to take action? Those people under your command can be dismissed at will.”
Barr frowned
“It’s naturally no problem to deal with these bandits, but I feel that things shouldn’t be that simple.”
“Oh, not easy?” Black Phantom asked suspiciously.
“The situation is not yet clear, and it’s hard to say now.”
Baal took out a few magic energy crystals and gave them to Black Ghost, “Well, be prepared.”
Back in the council hall, Baer continued to monitor the every move of the bandits through the void.
Now all the floating in the void has gathered within 100 kilometers of the territory, and the wind and grass in this area cannot escape his eyes.
Under the leadership of the two leaders, the bandit team quickly moved towards Hailan Village.
Although this group of bandits has no mounts, they move very fast. It seems that there should be some people in the team with group acceleration skills.
……
It was more than five o’clock in the morning, and the sky was still dark.
This bandit team of thousands of people is already less than one kilometer away from Hailan Village.
In a depression not far to the east of Hailan Village, a masked figure in black suddenly appeared. The man in black stared at the city wall not far away, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Just as the man in black appeared, in the air not far away, a small transparent insect floated over.
“Finally found you.” Baal opened his eyes.
……
On the south side of the territory, next to the Mermaid Bay~www.mtlnovel.com~ The strong tiger man took out a map from his backpack, looked at the place marked on the map, and said, “Second brother, the one in the west should be the one to attack. Dock, shall we do it now?”
“Be careful, check the situation first, don’t fall into an ambush.” The middle-aged man said.
The strong tiger man curled his lips, “Second brother, he is really too careful. The group of them set off at night, and the news of the action was notified to everyone after they set off. How could it be discovered in advance?”
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and a thin human youth ran over from behind.
“Second master.”
“Go ahead and take a look, be smart, don’t let anyone find out.” The middle-aged man pointed to the dock not far away.
“Yes.”
The thin young man instantly entered a stealth state, and his figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.
It didn’t take long for the young man to come back, “Second master, everything is normal up front.”
“Well, get ready to do it.”
The bandits were ordered to act quickly.
The dozens of bandits in the back took out some large and small parts from their backpacks and placed them on the open space in front of them. After a while, the three strange-looking machines were successfully assembled.
Below is a square platform with iron wheels under the platform and a throwing bar above it.
It looks like it should be a small catapult.
“Young people, give me your aura, the job is done, you will be rewarded when you go back to the master!” The tiger man shouted, and the bandit behind him lit a torch and rushed forward roaringly.
Their mission this time is not to attack the territory, but to lead the guards out of the territory. Naturally, the bigger the momentum, the better.
Three or two small catapults also began to advance under the impetus of a few bandits.
