The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

There is a tent area at the west gate of the royal capital, which accommodates the refugees who escaped from the Kulun Basin.

If you stand outside the fence and look in, the first word that pops into your mind is "dead". Although these people who have no hope for the future are alive, they look as if they are dead.

Although the kingdom has provided necessary relief to them, in this season of lack of supply, there is not much food left in the warehouse of the kingdom, and Queen Maxwell is even going to ask other lords for help in person. All the kingdom can do now is to make sure they don't starve to death, and there are other ways to get enough to eat.

Not long after the sun rose, many young and middle-aged people in the refugee camp were called out. They were told that as long as they helped the guards build a high platform, the participants would get a piece of brown bread as a reward.

Black bread is very tempting for people who live on oatmeal, which is a little bit stronger than water, especially when they actually see a long table surrounded by praetorians full of When it comes to brown bread.

Near noon, a high platform more than two meters high, ten meters long, and five or six meters wide was completed on the open space outside the west gate. Those refugees who helped with their work all received a piece of brown bread the size of a palm.

The people who received the brown bread immediately returned to the tent where their families lived with their precious food, and shared this rare delicacy with their families.

And some young men without family members began to be malicious with half a piece of leftover brown bread.

God said, let there be light. Because the two parties in Congress failed to pass because of the big differences, so there was darkness.

In refugee camps out of the sun, half a slice of brown bread can make people sell their bodies.

And the meals that someone puts on the dining table every day can make him sleep all the young girls here.

If it weren't for the fact that the kingdom attached great importance to human resources, the tenant farmers who could be used as laborers here have become slaves of other nobles or free people, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled in one place.

It's just that before those people had time to trade, they found that the soldiers of the city defense army who used to only guard them outside the camp poured into the camp.

Soon after, several people who **** the black bread were caught, and then dragged to the gate of the refugee camp and beheaded.

In the watchtower by the wall of the refugee camp, you can tell what happened inside and see clearly.

Seeing those heads stuck with spears roaming the street, everyone put out all kinds of thoughts, and all returned to the tent and shivered.

Before the deterrence of blood and heads had passed, and the gossip had not spread, the refugees were told that a nobleman would make an important speech.

The speech of the nobleman? Can you eat?

When the sun was about to rise to the top of the day, the refugees who had just been allocated a thicker oatmeal than before found a group of soldiers gathered in front of the high platform outside the west gate, and some insightful people recognized They were soldiers of the Praetorian Guard and the Royal Knights.

Immediately afterwards, the city defense army also came to the front of the high platform.

Not long after, a large number of citizens of the Royal Capital poured out from the west city gate, and they were led by the city defense soldiers to the right side of the high platform. Then the young and middle-aged refugees who barely had a full meal were driven to the left of the high platform.

At this time, a huge silk flag has been hung behind the high platform. This flag is embroidered with the royal coat of arms - a hand holding a lightning bolt - which used to hang in the palace only on the most important days. on the door.

When noon came, Princess Furt, riding a warhorse and wearing armor, came to the high platform. She jumped up from the battle horse and jumped onto the stage.

Just when she took off her helmet and clipped it under her armpit, there was a commotion in the Guards and Royal Knights formation.

The princess's long hair like a golden waterfall in the past is gone, replaced by short hair that reaches the neck.

The princess announced loudly on the stage: "By the grace of the gods, the Queen of Maxwell Kingdom and its lands and territories, Blanche I, is here!"

The voice amplified by magic immediately spread throughout the entire venue, and the originally noisy voice suddenly disappeared without a trace.

A luxurious carriage came to the high platform, and then Queen Maxwell, who was wearing a gorgeous armor like the equipment given by the 998 spree in the page tour, ascended the high platform accompanied by a low-key man.

Then the low-key man ran to the back and acted as a background board with the princess under the surprised gaze of the princess.

Her Majesty the Queen walked to the front of the stage and looked around the audience.

Refugees, soldiers, citizens, countless people looked at Her Majesty the Queen, who appeared to be heroic and extraordinary on the stage.

"My people!"

Her Majesty began her speech in a low, sad voice.

"We suffered a slaughter! A few months ago, just as we welcomed another bumper harvest and were about to enjoy the rich fruits of a year of hard work, we suffered an unprecedented slaughter!"

"What [beep beep] beasts, they broke into our homes in droves."

"They not only ate the livestock we raised hard, but also treated our parents, brothers, sisters, and children as pigs and sheep, killed them, and then ate them."

"Now, the Kulun Basin, which was originally full of laughter and laughter, has become the back garden of those [beep beep] beasts, where they can hunt and kill our hard work. The fruits of this, hunting down the relatives and friends that we get along with day and night."

"Some people may ask, what do those beasts have to do with me?"

"Does it really matter?"

"They first ate the brothers and sisters in the Cullen Basin. You said it was none of your business because you didn't live in the Cullen Basin."

"They then eat the royal family. You say it's none of your business, because no matter who is the king, your life is the same."

"They came to eat the knights again. You said it's none of your business, because you're not a knight who rides a horse all day long."

"They eat soldiers again, you say it's none of your business, because you're just a civilian.

"When they finally bit your neck, you sadly found that there was no one in front of you to protect you."

At this time, the atmosphere at the scene became depressed, and the cry in the refugee phalanx became loud. The citizens were also worried and irritable because of the sword of Damocles hanging above their heads and the cry from not far away.

A few kilometers in front of the venue is the exit of the Kulun Canyon, where people can even see the thin gap in the distant mountains.

At this moment, people feel that the group of monsters will even rush towards them from the mountain in the next moment.

The next moment, Her Majesty's voice suddenly became high-pitched and excited.

"This is a war, a war that is different from previous wars!"

"What we are about to usher in is a war between humans and beasts!"

"In this war, there are no retreats, no prisoners, and no ransom!"

"In this war, there is only fighting, only killing, and only final victory!"

"This evil will come to an end!"

"The sinful beasts will pay for it all with their skins, with their flesh, with their bones, and with their lives!"

Then, Her Majesty's voice softened.

"Some people may say that those monsters are too strong, and there are too many. Usually, it takes several people to deal with a monster, but now, there are thousands of those monsters."

"I want to say to these people, is your head caught by the door panel?"

"The war between humans and beasts has never stopped. What do we rely on to open up a piece of land from the mouths of beasts?"

Then the Queen said aloud:

"We rely on the wisdom of mankind, the unity of mankind!"

"Our swords are sharper than the teeth and claws of monsters, our walls are thicker than the skin of monsters, and our magic is stronger than monsters!"

"Although we have suffered setbacks for the time being, no matter whether you are a relative of a king, a nobleman, a knight, or a free citizen, as long as you are still a human being with courage and responsibility, you should unite closely with each other and contribute together. Then we will be able to wipe out all those beasts!"

People in the audience cheered unexpectedly. It was the first time that everyone heard Her Majesty make such a speech, especially when Her Majesty said words like [beep beep] at the beginning, many people did not know what to do. What kind of expression to make.

However, this is not in vain. Many active citizens and refugees who still have hope have seen hope and opportunities from Her Majesty's speech.

"There are many respectable, lovely and pitiful people who have become the mouths of those beasts. At the same time, there are also many heroic, fearless and never shrinking people who gave their precious lives to save everyone."

"The kingdom will not forget those who gave their lives to protect their brothers and sisters!"

Her Majesty the Queen beckoned, and a team of janitors carried the boxes to the high platform and photographed them in a row at the front desk.

"At the same time, we will not treat those warriors who will bleed and sweat badly in the coming days!"

After Her Majesty finished speaking, she walked behind the box on the farthest side, and walked towards the box.

The sound of "crashing" sounded, and golden coins dripped out of the box that had been kicked over.

Then the second box full of gold coins was kicked over, then the third, the fourth, the fifth...

After a row of boxes full of golden coins was kicked over, the breathing of everyone in the venue suddenly became heavier.

The queen walked to the center of the gold coin, raised her hands, and then shouted in a loud voice: "To those who have contributed to the next battle, whether you are fighting on the front line or for the defense at the rear. After digging a basket of soil, the kingdom will never be stingy with the rewards for those who have meritorious deeds!"

"Honor! Money! Title! Do you want it!!"

"I will give them to the most loyal warriors!!!"

In the face of huge interests, even the lame speech can become exciting.

The cheers from the high platform began to resound through the sky.

Refugees have new hope, citizens see wealth, and soldiers see merit. Everyone sees a bright future, and that tortuous road, I believe that under the leadership of Her Majesty the Queen can easily overcome all difficulties.

Next is the time for Her Royal Highness Princess Furt, who will announce a series of work arrangements.

Accompanied by a low-key man, Her Majesty walked down the high platform and was about to leave in a carriage.

A path was cleared between the Royal Guard and the Royal Knights, allowing Her Majesty to pass.

As someone who knew the inside story, Zeman looked at the low-key man next to Her Majesty with a complicated expression.

In less than half a day, this low-key man made a bold, detailed, and highly feasible plan. Then being alone with the Queen at night is what persuades the Queen to approve the plan.

"What a terrible man." Saiman thought.

At this moment, a low-key man passing by Seman whispered to him, "Don't forget to be the first to stand up to support Her Royal Highness."

After getting into the carriage, Her Lady Queen breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought I would screw it up," Her Lady Queen said.

"It turns out that you did a great job," Charles said.

Her Lady Queen looked Charles in the eyes and asked, "Why give me the opportunity to speak?"

Charles answered nonchalantly, "I've thought about it. There are some things that you should do best. After all, there are not many people in the kingdom who know me."

"Alas..." Her Lady Queen sighed, "How can I thank you."

"Let's talk about it after the victory," Charles said. "The next guys are the hardest to deal with."

When the sun was about to rise from the horizon, Planck walked out of the barracks of the city defense army while adjusting the cloth strips tied on his left arm.

"Planck, I'm discussing something with you..." A comrade in the same group as Planck walked to Planck's side. He and Planck wore the same military uniform, but the cloth was tied to his right arm. .

"No negotiation!" Before the other party finished speaking, Planck interrupted the other party's words, and then ran away in a hurry.

"A bunch of blind guys." Before lining up at the gate of the refugee camp, Planck despised his comrades in arms, and then he gained the eyes of everyone who wanted to kill fat pigs.

Wearing dirty military uniforms, with different numbers and colors of cloth strips tied to their arms, and holding bags of different sizes in their hands, the city guards lined up neatly at the gate of the refugee camp, waiting for everyone to come from the camp just like the previous days. Ten people were taken from the refugee camp to work on the scene.

The refugees were sitting in a pile behind the gate of the camp, and some were waiting for the old man of the city defense army, who had been familiar with them for the past few days, to call their name at the gate. The person whose name was called quickly ran to the old man of the city defense army, took the rope handed over by the old man, and tied the rope to his arm according to the position and number of the rope on the old man's arm. If the number of people in the city defense army master team is not enough, the master will let a few people who are pleasing to the eye make up for it.

The rope on the arm is the symbol of their team, reducing the confusion of management when everyone is not familiar with each other.

A group of people left, and just as it was Planck's turn to call, a knight in armor rode to the front of the camp.

The knight called out, "Which one is Quantum?"

A tall but thin man who was nearly two meters tall stood up, walked to the door and asked, "Master Knight, what do you have to do with me?"

The knight said to the big man named Quantum, "Now you go to the canyon with me."

Quantum shook his head and said, "No, I have to wait for Big Brother Planck."

"Why?" The knight was a little curious. He thought that Quantum would not be unaware that the rewards of working in the canyon were three times that of working outside the mouth of the canyon.

"Because Big Brother Planck was the first to fill me up," Quantum said.

Quantum is tall, powerful, and has a bigger appetite. He does not work much more than others when he is not full, so many people in the city defense army did not want him to join their team at first. inside. Later, it was Planck who gave him more than half of his lunch, which made him 60% full, and then their team became the first place in the work progress that day, and got a large piece of bacon as a reward. Later, Planck gave half of the reward to Quantum, and the other half was divided equally with the people in the group. For the next two days, with the help of Quantum, who had a full meal, Planck and his team could get the first prize every day.

In the end, with Planck's personal persuasion, Quantum followed the knight, because the canyon needed a strong man like him even more.

Not long after, Planck brought ten refugees to the construction site in front of the canyon exit.

Every time he sees this, it always gives him an unreal feeling.

Two lines of defense were dug out of the canyon. The main body of each line of defense was a wide and deep trench and an earth wall built behind the dirt dug out of the trench.

Planck's team's task was to dig trenches, and another team would remove the excavated soil and hand it over to a third team a few meters behind to build the wall.

When the time was about to come to noon, Charles, who had calculated the progress, walked out of the tent and boarded the watchtower not far away.

He climbed high and looked into the distance, surrounded by a busy scene of labor~www.novelmt.com~ His plan was actually very simple, that is, to build two defense lines at the exit of the canyon, and then rely on the defense lines to eliminate those miscellaneous soldiers and monsters. After the final boss comes out, do the final blow to it.

But his plans were also complicated.

In the line of defense he designed, the first line of defense consists of three isosceles connected by a "∏" shape that encloses the exit of the canyon, 500 meters long, 4 meters deep, 4 meters wide at the bottom and 8 meters wide at the top. It consists of a trapezoidal trench and supporting earth walls at the rear. The second line of defense is behind the first line of defense. It is also surrounded by three lines that are 600 meters long, 6 meters deep, 6 meters wide at the bottom and 12 meters wide at the top. It is composed of an isosceles trapezoidal trench and a supporting earth wall at the rear.

Just digging those trenches requires 133,200m3 of earthwork. Although the soil quality here is still good for digging, the labor efficiency in this era is still very low, and tools are also lacking. On average, one person can only dig about 4m3 of soil from morning to dark. To complete the work within 10 days as planned, it would require at least 3,330 people to work at the same time. And that's not counting those who also dig holes in the canyon.

In addition to digging trenches, there are the same number of people who carry and build walls, which requires tens of thousands of people to participate.

In addition to this, there are the craftsmen and their assistants who were recruited in the capital to make simple catapults and simple crossbows, the blacksmiths who kept making weapons by the stove, and the cooks who cooked for everyone...

All together, it's enough to fight a battle of Agincourt.

Fortunately, Wang is a city with about 60,000 households/*refer to the demographic data of Paris in 1328*/, otherwise you wouldn't have played so much.

In the entire capital now, almost all the workforce is revolving around defending against the upcoming attack of the monsters.
