683.At the critical moment, you still have to ask the old man to take action (page 1/2)
On the third day after Murphy was assassinated and disappeared, the situation at the Black Flame Pass position could not get any worse..
The Splitclaw clan did not launch another reckless general attack, but the reconnaissance results of both players and elf rangers showed that the gnoll army was already in place..
More than 150,000 jackals and countless kobold cannon fodders have blocked the Black Flame Pass in all directions, isolating it into a real battlefield island. Even the non-frontal battlefield on the Fort Courage side has one. The Jackal army is executing siege tactics.
Lord Heather and her commanders don't know why the gnolls haven't started attacking yet, but what is certain is that the initiative in the war does not currently lie with Black Flame Pass..
The lord has been under great pressure these days..
Because while besieging Black Flame Pass, the Splitclaw clan also sent kobolds to perform excavation tactics in other passable directions of Black Flame Pass..
It is difficult for them to dig out tunnels that can allow the army to pass through, but they can still dig out some small passages for infiltration. Therefore, small groups of jackals have been appearing in the barren mountain area behind the Black Flame Pass. Got it.
There are some local gnolls wandering here, and once the two sides join together, they become a new threat..
Lord Heather is now extremely fortunate that there is still a squad of Transians available for mobilization over the Dark Valley, so that she does not have to worry about the dispatched vanguards causing trouble from behind the position..
What is gratifying is that the warriors of Transia are as active as ever on the battlefield.
They still guard the first three positions, and are willing to help soldiers in need of help in other positions solve various problems. This enthusiastic attitude has made many subordinates regard the Transians as reliable allies..
In addition to being greedy and restless, these guys are almost perfect battlefield partners. There are even soldiers who have actively requested the player team to temporarily join them for daily patrol work..
As the war becomes more and more dangerous, patrols become more dangerous. Who knows whether a group of vicious jackal thugs will suddenly jump out of the originally safe place. In this case, some of the team will go crazy when they see the fighting. , soldiers whose morale is always locked can make everyone feel at ease..
Worst of all, at the most critical moment, these Transians can still give the soldiers an opportunity to evacuate and call for reinforcements..
The best thing is that the war spirits of Transia are not afraid of death. As long as they can get a sufficiently generous reward, Transia people are even willing to die on their own initiative..
But as their strength continues to improve, the rewards for hiring Transians to die on their own initiative are also rising. Fortunately, there is a steady stream of new warriors coming from behind who have just passed the Black Iron Trial, and the price these guys ask for is much "cheaper" Got it.
In short, everyone on the battlefield knew that the war was coming, but before the boots hit the ground, they actually had nothing to do except endless daily military preparations and reinforcement of positions..
You can't abandon your defensive position and follow the Transians, strap them full of explosives and charge directly into the enemy's formation.？
Damn it, what's the difference between that and dying?？
It was under this depressing and serious situation that Chen Tou, the elder of the Honorary Society of the Transian Masonic Brotherhood, and his two students were invited to the Black Flame Pass. Accompanying them was the Silver Dwarf's master architect Ilyich. Lord Umm Warheart.
They came very low-key, but their mission at this time is very important..
Lord Murphy, who was recuperating in a mysterious place, felt that there might be some undiscovered hidden dangers in the defense system of Black Flame Pass, so he asked professionals like them to conduct a final inspection of the Pass position..
To be honest, Old Chen thought this mission issued by Mrs. Adele was somewhat strange..
“I heard that the Black Flame Pass began to be rebuilt after the end of the Fourth Black Disaster. The Blood Alliance clan commissioned brass dwarves who were good at digging to spend almost fifty years building it into what it is today. After that, people would come to build it every few years. it carries out repairs and reinforcements.
If there is really a problem on the battlefield, there is no reason why no one has discovered it for so many years.？”
Old Chen, who was wearing an architect's robe and the Blade of Cold Fang, was leaning on a cane specially used for measurement. He said to his silver dwarf friend who was secretly drinking from a small bottle next to him.：
“The design drawing of the position was produced by your Gaia Temple, and subsequent inspections were also conducted by Gaia's priests. With the dwarves' keen perception of the power of the earth and your high requirements for the quality of buildings, you will not neglect it every time. Let's just go through the formalities of our duties.？”
“I've never been here.”
Master Ilyich took a breath of alcohol, and the old guy who started drinking early in the morning said carelessly：
“But I have heard about Black Flame Pass. Several of my students regarded it as the masterpiece of their architect careers. When the twelve positions and various permanent fortifications at Black Flame Pass were completed, the temple was indeed We also sent people to check and accept it..
The result is perfect.
My colleagues believe that on the terrain of this mountain pass position, this defense line has utilized various functions to the extreme. I also think that it cannot have quality problems because the Earth Priest has spiritually reinforced the position several times..
More than two-thirds of the fortresses here cannot be destroyed by the Fossil to Mud spell..
Because the Jackals used meteorite technology to attack here during the Fourth Black Disaster, the construction requirement given to us by the Knights of the Blood Alliance is that the defense system at important nodes must be able to withstand the bombardment of meteorite technology..
So our architects connected those important fortresses with the mountain. This is what we did when we originally designed the Brass Fortress..
But we are all here, right?？
Just take a look by the way, just think of it as a reassurance to the brave soldiers on the battlefield..”
“Well, let's go then.”
Old Chen glanced at his dwarf friend.
He must admit that the construction system of the Silver Dwarves on the mainland for nearly a thousand years gave him, an outsider, a lot of shock..
Although most fantasy-style buildings are difficult to replicate in the real world, some rules in architecture are completely common in both worlds..
For Mr. Chen, who has been doing this all his life, it is really valuable to get an opportunity to look at architecture from another perspective. Therefore, he and Master Ilyich have become true friends. This friendship is built on the relationship between the masters. Based on mutual sympathy.
In addition to drinking heavily, Ilyich was also very fond of foreign architectural theories..
Especially those high-rise buildings that often have hundreds of stories, those imaginative buildings, those man-made wonders that are nearly a thousand meters like the Tower of Babel, and the cross-sea bridges made entirely of steel..
It has to be said that in the eyes of the dwarves from another world, these are all things that exist in fantasy. It’s not that they can’t do it. It’s mainly because the mainland’s technological level prevents them from building similar buildings. Even a cement problem is difficult to solve. , you can’t build a Burj Khalifa with stones, right?？
The four architects soon arrived at Lord Heather's command post.
According to the agreement between Heather and Murphy, the architectural drawings of the entire Black Flame Pass were taken out. The pile of drawings alone was half a person tall..
The functions of the twelve positions are different. Especially the six positions at the rear have complex underground structures. There are basically no duplicate designs. The four architects must browse the design drawings of each position to find the problem..
“It’s just the four of us who are looking at these pictures until next year.！”
The chosen one complained：
“Maybe we should bring apprentices here？”
“You are making trouble! This is a military secret. It would be a big deal for Mr. Murphy to allow us to see it..”
The brick mover next to him was not annoyed. The fat architect analyzed rationally.：
“The first eight levels of defense do not have any underground structures. They are just pure ground positions and various fortresses connected to the mountains. There is no way to make small moves in these places, especially the first five levels of defense that faced the Jackal attack before..
The jackals couldn't defeat them even though they used the meteorite technique, which shows that the quality of the position there is excellent..
Therefore, I think all we need to do to find the problem is search in the underground structure of the rear six-level position..
Teacher, what do you say?？”
“Well, that makes sense.”
Old Chen nodded and said：
“Just do it and get this done as soon as possible.
The project on the Midnight Tower is about to proceed to the core construction of a main tower and three auxiliary towers. That is the first time we have dealt with issues related to the Mage Tower. We must rush back as soon as possible to learn this special construction technique..
Can't waste too much time on this matter.
One person is responsible for one position, and Ilyich and I are responsible for two. We will try to complete the inspection before tomorrow night..”
