king of the castle

Chapter 112 Level Shooting Range

Because Wade had already been guillotined on charges of embezzling armaments and materials, and now the first line of defense at the Linton Pass was under human command, both Massa and Rosberg temporarily stayed to take command. 【】

The outside world has criticized the two commanding soldiers, because neither Massa nor Rosberg is a member of the military, and what they did is tantamount to seizing the power of the military.But now that undead creatures are raging on the Lund Peninsula, and the captain of the garrison has exposed the scandal of embezzlement of ink and war supplies, no one dares to stand up and oppose the decision of the two nobles.

Although Roger didn't know much about the situation in the kingdom, it also came out that this matter had something to do with factions fighting for power and profit.He was not interested in these things, so he left Lindun Pass very quickly, and headed to the capital alone with his men.

After entering the hinterland of the kingdom, Roger found that it was much more prosperous than the Lund Peninsula.On both sides of the road, you can often see large tracts of farmland and pastures. Farmers are working hard in the farmland, and cows, horses and goats are strolling leisurely on the pastures.In addition to often encountering troops marching towards the Lington Pass on the road, it also reminds people of the undead creatures that are raging on the Lund Peninsula. The calm here is completely incompatible with the tense atmosphere of the Lund Peninsula.

The Privy Council's order only required Roger to go to the capital to meet the king, and did not specify a time limit, so he was not in a hurry.Roger and the others have to wait until the sky is bright before getting up and going on the road every day. At night, they rest in the hotel in the town, and they live a leisurely and comfortable life.

That night, Roger was resting in the hotel as usual, and as soon as he lay down on the bed, the castle hub yelled in his mind: "Don't sleep! The super shooting range has been built, come to the secondary space!"

After getting the magic crystal of the harpies, Roger began to let the castle hub build a super shooting range.After many days of waiting, the super shooting range was finally built.

Roger, who knew the news, was also very excited. He quickly said "Open the castle pivot" silently in his heart, and entered the secondary space of the castle in an instant.

After returning to the secondary space for so many days, the city wall that was originally destroyed by the death lord has already been repaired.The stones used to repair the damaged part were exactly the same as those used in other parts. If Roger hadn't witnessed the destruction of the city wall with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the city wall had been repaired.

But to Roger, the city wall is not the point, the point is the super shooting range that has just been built.After the castle is upgraded to level three, there are many buildings that need some precious materials when upgrading, and the level-one shooting range is one of them.If he hadn't accidentally obtained a Harpy's magic crystal in Wade's cellar, he really didn't know when he would be able to upgrade this building.At this time, the second-level shooting range was finally built, so of course he took a good look at it.

Different from the very simple primary shooting range, the super shooting range is much more perfect in appearance and facilities.Two statues holding longbows stand in front of the shooting range, clearly telling people the purpose of this place.Behind the tall and majestic gatehouse is a huge courtyard.The yard is narrow and long, not more than ten meters wide but nearly a hundred meters long.At one end of the yard, there are many archery targets of different sizes and positions, some of which can move by themselves, which are now used to train archers.

Now Roger already has the strength of the black iron superior, and his senses are much more sensitive than before.But even with his eyesight, he could barely reach those targets, let alone shoot them.From this point alone, one knows that the archers trained by the super shooting range are much better than those trained by the primary shooting range.

In fact, the super shooting range can train two new types of archers, the longbowman and the light crossbowman.Its light crossbowmen all have the strength of the black iron level, and the strength of the longbowmen is even stronger to the black iron level.These two types of arms have their own advantages and disadvantages. The light crossbowmen train faster, and the arrows they shoot are slightly stronger.Although longbowmen need longer training time, their shooting speed in battle is much faster than that of light crossbowmen.How to determine the proportion of these two types of troops in the long-range troops is entirely up to Roger.

Roger thought about it for a while, and felt that the soldiers under his command had suffered serious losses, and the most urgent thing at present was to restore the size of the army as soon as possible.So first let Castle Pivot train ten light crossbowmen, and then retrain the few surviving short bowmen, and upgrade them to grow into bowmen.

Before this, Roger had retrained the surviving spear militia and short sword soldiers, and now he has more than 20 iron spear soldiers and the same number of long sword soldiers under his command.If you add more than a dozen long-range troops, it is already a force that cannot be underestimated.

Of course, Roger will never be satisfied with this, and he will continue to train soldiers in the days to come.As long as there is enough soul power, the work of training soldiers will not stop.Anyway, the trained soldiers can temporarily stay in the secondary space of the castle, and then summon them to the main material world when necessary, so they are not afraid of attracting the attention of others.

After Roger finished arranging the training plan for the soldiers, he checked how many resources he still had.There is still a lot of soul power, but ordinary materials such as wood and stone are not much left.In addition, there are nearly a thousand gold coins and a small bag of gems, and the last thing is the Hippogryph eggs.

Although the third-level castle can already build a primary animal training ground to breed monsters to serve Roger.But to build a rudimentary animal training ground, a magic crystal of a plant-type monster must be used.For Roger, all the other materials are now available, except for the lack of such a magic crystal. Naturally, the construction of the primary animal training ground can only be discussed later.

After spending a lot of time in the secondary space of the castle, Roger soon fell asleep after returning to the main material world.When he woke up again, it was already daylight.

Roger and the others headed towards the capital along the main road, but they found that they couldn't go any further. A bridge on the road was washed away by a sudden flood, and pedestrians on both sides of the river were blocked.According to other passers-by, the local lord knew about it and was planning to summon artisans to rebuild the bridge.But building a bridge is not an easy task. Even building the simplest wooden bridge will take at least two months. Before that, all pedestrians can only wait patiently.

Although Roger is not in a hurry, it does not mean that he is willing to spend time waiting for chatting.So Roger quickly split up with the others to ask the locals if there was any other way for them to cross the river and move on.

Both Chris and Phil were dressed as knights, and the commoners naturally answered their questions. Phil soon came to report to Roger: "My lord, there is a shoal where you can swim more than 20 miles downstream from here. Crossing the river, just..."

"Just what?"

The knight replied honestly: "It's just that there is a small town on the other side of the river. It is said that the people there don't welcome strangers."

"Whether they like it or not, we're just passing by, let's go!" Roger, who didn't want to waste time waiting, didn't take Phil's words to heart, but he didn't expect that this decision would bring him unhappiness again. little trouble.
