The King of Elden does not die alone!

Anthony frowned: "Equipment?"

They have tools.

There were crossbows mounted on the city walls, roadblocks used to block the gates, iron forks that could push down ladders, and so on.

These are all standardized city defense equipment.

"Shit, Your Excellency. I propose to collect shit."

"...?" The others looked at him with bewildered eyes.

This is about defending the city, not farming.

Why collect feces?

It was foul, disgusting filth.

"If they can get up the ladder," Weldon explained, "we can boil the manure and dump it down there."

"hiss--"

So cruel!

Just hearing such a suggestion.

Knight Adlan's face turned pale and he almost felt nauseous.

Altria took a step back behind Kai with a look of shock on her face.

"This proposal...hmm." Anthony's face also looked a little unhappy.

Who likes poop?

No, absolutely no one.

Not to mention watching those disgusting things gurgling and cooking in the pot.

What a 'beautiful' smell that would be.

"vomit--"

Knight Adlan couldn't bear that kind of imagination and began to retch.

"I think, well, it's a feasible solution," Kai said.

Altria took another step away from Kai.

"Those Ansa people deserve to be buried in shit, don't they?"

He shrugged.

"This proposal is really hard to judge." Anthony took a deep breath of the cool air in the rain.

"I think we should just forget about it."

Adlan and Anthony looked at each other, and then they both looked at Wilden at the same time.

Wilden didn't care.

"I have another suggestion," said Weldon. "Get some heavy logs, hammer nails into them, tie ropes to the ends, and when they get up the ladder, we can throw the logs down."

Anthony pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Tell me more about it?"

“I need a drawing, if I may,” Weldon replied.

He tried to restore some of the city defense methods commonly used in border areas.

Antony sent for parchment and pen.

In a tower on the city wall, Wilden sketched a map from memory.

Just as he said, it was a reusable device that could clear the enemies on the ladder in one go.

This is obviously more efficient than just stones and wooden stakes.

It is very difficult to push down the ladder with an iron fork. The people on the ladder must be dealt with first. Otherwise, the people on the ladder will, together with the city wall, turn the ladder into a stable triangular structure.

Only by getting rid of those who are climbing up the ladder can you tear down the ladder.

And in the sketch drawn by Wilden, that kind of wood can not only clear the enemy like ordinary logs.

After being pushed down, you can also hang above the ladder to hinder subsequent enemies that may come up.

A city defense device that combines attack and blockade.

That looks heavy.

But if the soldier is equipped with plate armor, then he will be able to carry the thing and throw it down while facing the arrows.

“It’s a very clever idea.”

"Much better than the last one."

Adlan and Anthony both nodded.

"How long will it take them to attack the city?" Mia inquired.

"Within three days, it looks like we have to hurry."

Chapter 2. Enemy at the Gate ()

There are many thick wooden piles stored in the castle for reinforcement.

It wasn't a big problem to make the tools that Wilden envisioned.

Want to nail spikes into the surface of the stakes? Easy, this castle has plenty of sharp objects.

There are ropes everywhere.

After a night of supervision, the kingdom's soldiers successfully made four such large wooden beams. If a frame could be used to support the wooden beams, defending the city would be much easier.

Just place a rack that is much higher than the breastwork behind the breastwork, and then when the enemy climbs up, push the beam down.

Then the soldiers can pull the beam back at any time.

Unfortunately, there is not much time.

Early in the morning, the rain that had lasted for a day and two nights stopped.

The Ansa tried to send a small group of soldiers to go around the woods to the rear of the castle, but they were discovered by the castle's sentries.

Adlan ordered the crossbow to be fired, and after several cracks of the crossbow strings, there was no more movement in the forest.

I don’t know how effective this blind shooting is, but at least everyone knows that the Ansa people may appear from the rear.

Wilden returned to Mia.

Mia was not interested in such a project. After seeing the first beam completed, she returned to her small room - the stable - to rest.

Melina hugged one knee and sat against the door of the stable, with straw under her body, like a hermit. Even while sitting, she looked as if she was looking down on the world, watching the commotion in the castle.

Wilden nodded at her, then walked into the stable and sat down next to Mia's sleeping mat.

The sound of armor rubbing against each other startled the girl.

"Hmm? Meimei?"

"Why is this the first thing you say when you wake up in the morning? I think the world is still a beautiful place, right?"

Melina replied: "Please call me Melina."

"Then I will call you Nana?" Mia yawned.

"Please don't do this." Melina rolled her eyes slightly.

"Haha." Wilden laughed.

It’s been a while since Melina’s Dark Belly has appeared.

Maybe it's because he always travels with other people, so he has some social anxiety.

Until Mia saw the person in front of her clearly: "Hmm..."

"Wilden, are you done yet?"

Wilden replied: "Pretty much, the rest is up to them."

The soldiers who have already learned how to make the wood will work as hard as they can.

Mia realized that Wilden seemed to have something to say to her.

"What's wrong?" She sat up and adjusted the crown on her face.

The first thing most people do when they wake up is probably to rub their eyes.

But Mia couldn't do that.

"The enemy will be ready within three days and then begin the attack," said Wilden.

"Did you see them?"

"Well, they've gathered three thousand men, and the scouts say that's all."

"Oh..." Mia didn't know what to say.

She is now a participant in a siege, together with a thousand soldiers, to block an enemy that is three times her size.

This is the real big scene, the real war.

Are you excited?

No, Mia wasn't excited about it.

She knew that war was not a good thing, and she was used to human blood and death, but she was definitely not the kind of person who was happy to see death.

"War always has a price," Wilden told her.

"Huh?" Mia was a little surprised.

Did Wilden guess what was in her mind?

Wilden shrugged. "There will always be casualties in war. You should be prepared for this."

"I know." Mia said, turning her head away.

Aside from Wilden, Melina hadn't given Mia much advice.

Of course, ordinary bickering does not count as advice.

Maybe it’s because, in Melina’s heart, this sister is still quite perfect?

"You can't save everyone." Wilden replied: "Your ability can eliminate more enemies."

Mia was silent for a moment.

She understood why Wilden said that.

She always hopes to rescue as many wounded as possible during the battle.

To the extent that this matter has a higher priority than destroying the enemy.

Seeing that Mia didn't say much, Wilden continued: "You can deal with them before they can hurt you."

"Okay." Mia pouted.

"Yeah." Wilden nodded.

"You've experienced defending a city before, right?" Mia didn't let the silence continue.

"Yeah." Wilden replied, he thought for a moment and began to talk about his past experiences.

That was probably when we were in Stoneville.

The reason why it is 'probably' is because some of his memories are still vague.

"Can you tell me about Stonewell... uh, like the streets, the buildings, and stuff like that?"

Mia inquired.

This is part of the intelligence. Stonewell is a place that cannot be avoided and must be visited.

"Some impressions," Wilden replied, and at Mia's request, he used grass stems to make some patterns on the ground.

"This should be the avenue," he said, pointing to the thickest grass stem, and then used other shorter ones to make corners at both ends of the 'avenue'.
