king of the castle

Chapter 320 Actively preparing for battle

These two guys were injured in the battle, and then they were severely repaired by Bonnie, and they were already full of fighting spirit. 【】The two of them looked at each other a little bit, and immediately knew that Roger should be the local lord, so they cried bitterly and begged for mercy: "My lord, we are also forced, please let us go!"

Although the two men were covered in blood and looked pitiful crying and screaming, when Roger thought of the loss suffered by the town, he had no sympathy for these two guys.

"Who sent you here?" Roger didn't take the other party's begging for mercy to heart at all, and said with a cold face: "Answer my question honestly, maybe you still have a chance to live!"

The two of them had already told Bonnie everything they knew before, so there was no pressure to say it a second time now.The two even rushed to speak in order to win Roger's favor, until Bonnie coldly told one of them to shut up.

"We are all pirates." The lucky one who was selected immediately said honestly: "I am under the leader of the blue beard. Because the town of Kent has become more and more prosperous recently, the leader of the blue beard contacted several other leaders and brought everyone to come Get a ticket here, I didn't expect..."

The pirates didn't go any further when they said this, and Roger knew what happened later, because he came back in time, the pirates "steal chickens and lose money", not only did not get any benefits, but suffered heavy casualties.

The pirate's words also made Roger suddenly understand why they escaped by boat when they retreated. The pirates naturally make the sea their home, and going ashore to rob like this can only be regarded as a sideline.Fortunately, the pirates are not good at attacking the city, otherwise it is still unknown whether Kent Town can last until Roger returns.

Of course, Roger would not listen to one side's words, and stared at another pirate: "Is what he said true?"

"It's true, it's true!" The pirate nodded again and again, "I'm under Iron Hook, but..."

Roger immediately asked: "But what?"

The pirate hesitated for a moment before saying, "Whether it's Bluebeard or Iron Hook, they are unwilling to suffer. Today they suffered a disastrous defeat here, and they will definitely contact more leaders to come back to take revenge. At that time..."

"You don't need to worry about the matter at that time!" Roger interrupted the pirate coldly, and signaled the guards to take the two of them down.

Although according to Roger's idea, this kind of guy who violated his territory should be executed on the spot.But there are many people around, in order to maintain his image of trustworthiness, Roger can only let these two pirates go first.

That night, Roger held a round table meeting in the baron's mansion. In addition to the three knights, the baron's butlers Eddie and Mike attended the meeting, as well as the businessman Cage who had just returned to town for a few days.

Roger introduced the situation he knew to everyone, and then continued: "The situation is like this, we are being targeted by pirates, what do you think?"

"If they still dare to come, we'll teach them a lesson!" Chris was the first to speak, and slapped the table heavily: "This time the lord is back, what are we afraid of!"

As a businessman, Cage has been doing business in various parts of the mainland all year round, and he also knows about these pirates. He frowned and said slowly: "I'm afraid these pirates are difficult to deal with. I heard that there are tens of thousands of them, and they usually disperse Many small groups will plunder everywhere, and they will gather together to support each other if something happens. This time they have suffered such a big loss, and their revenge will be very tragic. We should prepare early."

"Tens of thousands of people?" Roger was taken aback by Cage's words. Although the combat effectiveness of these pirates was not strong, the number was astonishing.If they really came out for revenge, it would be really difficult to deal with. If you want to defend Kent Town, you really have to make preparations early.

Thinking of this, Roger no longer hesitated, sat up straight and said to Phil: "Phil, you immediately recruit all the people in the town to repair the fence as quickly as possible, and even heighten and reinforce it!"

"Of course!" Phil replied without hesitation.

"Chris, in the last few days, you have practiced those boys in the security team well, and try to let them master more fighting skills before the next battle!"

"Don't worry!"

"Mike, from tomorrow onwards, more scouts will be added around the town, and anyone who enters or leaves the town will be inspected!"

"Understood, my lord!"

"Eddie, let's suspend the construction of the villa for a few days, I have other uses for that small island." Roger said to his butler: "In addition, let all the unbrewed wine in the vineyard be shipped back to the town, let All the people there should come back too, our troops are limited and we don't have the energy to protect the manor for the time being."

"As you wish, my lord."

"Cage, after the meeting is over, you can give me all the materials you bought this time, and find another ship nearby to stand by. I may need it at any time."

"Understood, my lord."

Roger arranged work for everyone, and finally said to the female knight: "Bonnie, you will stay in the town instead of me these few days, and I have to leave for a few days."

"Where are you going?" Among the crowd, only Bonnie dared to ask Roger's whereabouts.

"I'm going to the Crimson Mountains to visit our old dwarf friends." Roger said with a slight smile to everyone: "If you want to defend the town, the weapons they made are essential!"

Due to time constraints, Roger left Kent Town early the next morning and went straight to the Red Mountains.There are also a lot of supplies in the castle warehouse, all of which are wheat and ale that the dwarves need most.

Of course, in addition to these gifts for the dwarves, there are many good things that Cage bought back from all over the mainland in the castle warehouse.Speaking of which, this businessman is really capable. He bought many precious materials at very low prices, and he doesn't know how Cage bargained with the other party.

But this is not what Roger wants to know the most. He is most concerned about what kind of castle buildings can be built with the materials Cage bought this time.Castle Hub is now "counting the goods", and the results will be known soon.

"Tsk tsk... This guy named Cage is really capable, and he brought back so many good things." Castle Shu quickly said: "The materials are enough to build an advanced shooting range and a rudimentary alchemy laboratory at the same time, but the power of the soul Some are not enough. If these two buildings are built at the same time, there will be no extra soul power to train soldiers."

"Then build an advanced shooting range first!" Roger made a decision without even thinking about it.After all, he would soon face a defensive battle. Crossbowmen were the best defensive unit. It was undoubtedly the right choice to build an advanced shooting range first. As for the elementary alchemy laboratory, he could only wait.

Numerous battles have told Roger that the combat power of high-level arms is much stronger than that of low-level arms, so he has decided to consume some soul power to change the iron spear soldiers and long sword soldiers into heavy pike soldiers and half armor swordsman.Compared with training new soldiers, changing jobs requires much less soul power, and it is the best choice for Roger who does not have enough soul power.

So on the way to the red mountain range, the castle hub began to get busy.While building an advanced shooting range, low-level soldiers began to change jobs.And after the soldier's transfer is completed, more senior soldiers will be trained to defend Kent Town.Fortunately, Roger has absorbed a lot of soul power recently, otherwise Castle Hub really couldn't complete these tasks at the same time.

When Roger arrived at the Scarlet Mountains, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the dwarves.The dwarves like this straightforward and generous human lord very much, and have long regarded him as the best friend of the tribe.Since it was the best friend's visit, according to the tradition of the dwarves, of course it was necessary to drink to the fullest.

In fact, before cooperating with Roger, the dwarves of the Hammer tribe had no chance to drink happily.Just working to feed the tribe is enough for Chief Hammer, let alone keep every dwarf drinking.All these changes were brought about by Roger, and the dwarves with a bold personality naturally regarded him as their most reliable friend.So when everyone drank enough, when Roger told about the pirates attacking Kent Town, the dwarves were immediately filled with righteous indignation, and they all shouted loudly to kill those pirates, and to vent their anger for their good friend Roger.

"No, no, I appreciate everyone's kindness." Roger quickly persuaded the dwarves who were about to go out after fucking the guy, and said to them with a wry smile: "But this is my own business, and I will find a way to solve it."

"Roger, it's not meaningful for you to say that!" Iron Hammer said unwillingly: "Your business is our business, and our Hammer Dwarf tribe will never treat friends badly!"

"Yes, that's right!"

"that is!"

"Kill those pirates!"

"If you don't let us go, you are disrespecting our Hammer tribe!"

The dwarves shouted excitedly, and Roger couldn't help sighing that these guys were so enthusiastic, just like their stove, which made people feel a little overwhelmed.

"Listen to me!" Roger didn't come to the Scarlet Mountains just to drink with the dwarves. Seeing that the time was almost up, he immediately raised his voice and said, "Actually, I just came here this time to ask my best friend for help. Excuse me? But I am not here to tell you to fight pirates, but I want you to help me build some weapons!"

"We are good at this!" Iron Hammer patted Roger on the shoulder heavily and said, "Say, what weapon do you want?"

"Bow bed!" Roger was not polite, and he said word by word with the hammer: "I want ten crossbow beds!"

"This thing is not easy to make!" Tie Hammer lowered his head and thought for a while, "Give me 20 days, and I will send you ten crossbow beds!"

Hearing that Hammer said that the crossbow bed was not easy to make, Roger's heart sank, and he thought it was a waste of time.Unexpectedly, the dwarf chief was so kind, and promised to send the ballista to Kent Town within 20 days. Roger couldn't help but burst into joy, patted Hammer on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's enough friends, I'll leave it to you this time!"
