king of the castle

Chapter 437 Preparations Before the Battle

These people are none other than the soldiers who announced that they would break away from Roger's command and act wisely to guard the dilapidated castle in Gaia City. 【】

In fact, these people openly questioned the commander's orders on the battlefield, and they could already be regarded as rebels.If it wasn't for Roger not wanting to bother with these blind little shrimps, he would definitely have the right to execute them on the spot.When they first entered this dilapidated castle, the rebels were proud of Roger and the others who were surrounded by undead creatures, but they soon lost their joy.

When Roger cast the holy light, the scene was huge, which naturally attracted the attention of these rebels.When they found that Roger had almost wiped out all the undead creatures outside the city by himself, they all regretted their previous decision.But the team leader was still unwilling to admit defeat, and loudly cheered for the others: "Even if you kill all the undead creatures outside the city? Don't forget that this is the Lund Peninsula, there is no strong fortress, and the undead creatures will definitely be killed at night... ..."

Before the captain could finish his words, he opened his mouth wide and stared outside the city in a daze.A majestic and sturdy castle had appeared out of thin air on the flat ground outside the city. Compared with that castle, the place he was staying at this moment was simply a pigsty.

"Captain, what should we do?" A soldier said with a sad face, "Give me an idea!"

The captain is also a veteran, and he quickly made the most correct choice: "The whole army assaults, rush to that castle before the undead creatures gather again!"

However, the captain's plan was good, but it was not so easy to implement it.Hundreds of people were besieged by undead creatures as soon as they left their hiding place, making it impossible to move an inch in the city.Before they rushed out of the city, most of their manpower had been lost.At this time, many undead creatures had re-occupied the open space outside the city. It was impossible for these rebels to rush to Roger's castle, and their entire army was wiped out halfway.

Roger in the castle has a panoramic view of all this, but has no intention of sending his men to rescue these guys at all.Having been in the world of Torenzo for so long, Roger's heart is much harder than before, and he will never lose his strength to save these guys who don't trust him. The strength is used in the next battle, and it is far from the time to act bravely regardless of everything.

Some time ago, Roger concentrated his energy on building the castle and almost exhausted all the accumulated soul power, so he has not expanded his troops much.However, after entering the Lund Peninsula, Roger killed the undead Hippogryph, eliminated the undead Chimera, and killed so many undead creatures, and naturally accumulated some soul power again.

What makes Roger especially happy is that he used the holy light to wipe out tens of thousands of undead creatures just now, because he did it directly, so this record is all on Roger's head.For Roger, this is a lot of income, and now it is safe for the time being, so naturally he has to think about how to use so much soul power.

The first thing to do, of course, is to train the soldiers.Considering that they are basically defensive operations, infantry and crossbowmen are of course the arms that need to be trained first.Roger asked Castle Pivot to train two thousand heavy spearmen, the same number of half-armored swordsmen, and another thousand heavy crossbowmen and one thousand longbowmen.

Although cavalry is not the main force in city defense battles, they cannot be completely ignored, so Roger trained another [-] mail cavalry.If these heavy cavalry are used well, they can also cause huge casualties to the enemy.

These are the strongest units in Roger's hands. According to the calculations of the castle hub, it will take at least three days to train all these soldiers.At that time, including Roger's original army, the total number of heavy spearmen will reach more than 7000, half-armored swordsmen will also number 2000, and the total number of crossbowmen will exceed 2. Together there are nearly [-] people.In other words, the total number of troops that Roger can directly command will exceed [-]!

If you take into account the weapons and equipment, personal strength, training level, morale and discipline of these more than 2 soldiers, the power in Roger's hands at this time is enough to easily defeat a foreign country.Now all he has to do is to command this terrifying force and stick to a tall and strong castle that can be repaired at any time!

Roger estimated that at least 30 undead creatures would need an organized attack to capture the castle.However, the vast majority of undead creatures acted on instinct, and there was no unified command. Even if there were 30 such undead creatures, they might not necessarily pose a threat to Roger.Coupled with the fact that there is Seraphim Archangel Angela, the undead creature's killer, on Roger's side, it should not be difficult to defend the castle and leave safely.

However, this is not the first time Roger has dealt with undead creatures.It is known that in addition to the vast majority of low-level undead creatures among these guys, there are also some with high-level intelligence and powerful existence.So even though it seemed that he was sure of winning now, Roger still didn't dare to take it lightly, and ordered Castle Pivot to train [-] junior magicians on the second floor of the completed magician tower to assist the soldiers in defense.

Not just junior magicians, but already respected by nobles in other places.Even if it is an earl, it is already a matter of face to invite two or three junior magicians.But as soon as Roger made a move, there were sixty junior magicians, and even Alonso III had never experienced such a scene of magicians forming a group.

After making this series of arrangements, Roger still felt a little uneasy.The previous horror experience on the Lund Peninsula was still fresh in his memory, so he did not dare to underestimate the undead creatures.Roger stood on the tall and solid wall of the castle, watching the undead creatures gradually gather towards the castle, frowned and muttered to himself, "What else can we do?"

Just as Roger was talking to himself, his eyes fell on the high shooting tower behind the city wall, his frown immediately relaxed, he slapped the city wall heavily and said: "Yes, how did I forget this? !"

Having made up his mind, Roger couldn't wait to ask the castle hub: "Are there enough materials in the warehouse to upgrade the shooting tower?"

"I'll do the math..." Castle Shu quickly gave the answer: "There are enough soul power and materials!"

"Great!" Roger said without hesitation: "Immediately upgrade the shooting tower to a ballista platform!"

The undead creature that often appears is the skeleton mammoth that poses the greatest threat to the city wall.To deal with such a behemoth, ordinary crossbowmen are useless. The most effective weapon is the deadly crossbow bed.Upgrade the shooting tower to a ballista platform, and the heavy ballista made by the dwarves for Roger can be used, so you don't have to worry about the threat of the skeleton mammoth.

After making these arrangements, Roger finally felt a little more at ease, waiting for the attack of the undead creatures.
