Wengcheng is the crystallization of city defense wisdom.
Of course, there is no problem with Kant using it to build his own castle.
Only an indestructible castle can firmly occupy this place. For example, fortifications with excellent defensive ideas such as Wengcheng can be built as much as they can.
The city defense is perfect, which means that the castle is safe and still has control over the place.
If it weren't for the modern bastion, it would be entirely for military purposes, unable to take into account civilian life and regional development. Kant estimated that the walls of the "Drehem" castle would have been completely repaired in the style of a bastion.
After all, it has become a bastion of various crossfires, even in the era of cold weapons, it has a strong side.
For weapons such as siege towers, it also has a good defensive effect.
But there is no way.
A bastion is a complete fortress, a standing fortification evolved from modern artillery tactics.
No civilians can live in it, and it is impossible to build houses. Except for the barracks, which are tunnels, plus various ammunition depots and firepower points, even the barracks are built next to the city wall, so that the role of the entire bastion can be maximized!
At present, it is enough to build two urns.
"pity."
Kant felt a little regretful.
In fact, his strength is still slightly weak.
The construction of the castle consumes too much heritage, and it also requires a large number of soldiers to garrison after construction.
Just like the current "Drehem" castle, although there are many crossbowmen, they can only focus on defending one city gate. If the enemy attacks two city gates at the same time, the cavalry must be dismounted to help defend the city gate. .
The gate is the key.
The 10-meter-high city wall, without advanced siege weapons, is equal to a natural moat if you want to capture it.
No general would have made such a stupid mistake.
In comparison, iron and wooden objects such as city gates can be breached by low-level siege weapons, such as siege cones, rams, or simpler knives and axes, which can cause certain damage to the city gates .
Therefore, the key to defending the city actually lies in the defense of the city gate.
For example, the crossbowmen on the towers and arrow towers on both sides.
For example, the reinforced King Kong gate and the defensive infantry behind the gate.
Now that we are considering building the urn city and strengthening the defense capability at the city gate, it is obvious that the defense level of the entire castle has been improved in quality, not to mention that with these invincible cavalry under Kant as a threat, it is obviously impossible to attack the city in one go!
"Fatis, you will be responsible for the construction of the two urns at the southeast city gate."
Kant gave orders to Fatis.
"Yes." Fatis complied.
"Be cautious."
Kant frowned slightly, but there was still some faint throbbing in his heart.
Looking to the north, deep in the Nalun Desert, he touched his heart subconsciously: "I always feel that something bad is brewing over there..." After a pause, he sighed softly: "Hope is an illusion. "
But even if it is believed to be an illusion, Kant is still wary of the depths of the Nalun Desert.
The Lost City of the Age of the Gods is over there.
The blood of the sun god, the golden holy city forged in the depths of the desert!
Even in the underground caves of the ancient passages, there are relics of the sun gods, and even the demons, undead, and descendants of the gods from the ancient gods.
If there is nothing in the Golden Holy City, it is definitely impossible!
What's more, there is the so-called saint.
"I remember that inside the temple on the top of the mountain, I once killed a certain woman."
Kant pondered.
That is also the descendant of God who appeared in the golden coffin.
However, because the groundwater gushed out near the platform, the current was fast, and because he had no shipbuilding skills, he hadn't taken out the golden coffin yet, nor had he checked the divine descendant he had killed.
Next to it was the succubus that was killed.
This shows that the war between the gods and the demons has already reached a stage of fierce fighting and fighting each other.
Otherwise, it is impossible to have a place where there are descendants of gods, and the existence of demons is necessary.
"I need to bring more elite troops."
Kant made up his mind.
The Royal Knights and Lion Knights he currently has are the best helpers to ensure his safety.
As for the ordinary top cavalry, he didn't plan to bring too many. After all, too many people are not as convenient as a few elites, let alone go to the unknown depths of the desert, where there may be a golden holy city.
30 Swadian knights, 20 lion knights, that's enough.
He looked slightly stunned.
Kant decided in his heart: "There are still master apprentices!"
Although the seven mages all stayed in the town of "Aaron", the current "Drehem" castle, with the recruitment in recent days, the number of mage apprentices has reached 5 again.
Although it is not very useful, at least it is a mage who has been exposed to mysterious magic.
If you encounter something related to magic elements, you can also give Kant a warning first, or make suggestions.
Since it is decided.
"Okay, that's it."
Kant said: "Fatis, you are here to arrange the supplies for this trip."
"Yes." Fatis nodded.
Soon, all the supplies were ready.
Each person carried 5 days' worth of fresh water and food, as well as necessary fire starters and flammable charcoal, plus fur coats to keep out the cold and tents to block the scorching sun. They were well prepared.
After all, they are all extraordinary knights, and the war horses under their crotch seem to be extraordinary and refined, so they cannot be regarded as ordinary war horses.
The load capacity becomes extremely high.
Just like knights have extraordinary power, these war horses are probably contaminated with this mysterious and powerful extraordinary power.
If it is placed in the Sangwaya Mountains, I am afraid that even some demonized creatures will believe it. After all, it can run fast and move with a fully armed knight at an instant speed. Ordinary war horses must not be able to do it.
For example, the usual fast charge of the peak of the Swadian knight.
It is actually a very difficult choice to keep up with the ordinary marching speed of the Royal Knights.
After noon, the scorching sun slowed down a bit.
The time is about 14:00 in the afternoon.
"Master Kant, please take care of yourself and be safe."
Fatis stood in front of the city gate and said with great concern: "Only your existence can prove the value of our existence."
Many knights and sharpshooters behind him looked at Kant eagerly.
If their lord needs it, they are willing to step forward and join this mission to go deep into the unknown desert area, and take it as their duty to protect Lord Kant, even if they die in battle!
But Kant didn't need many people.
This exploration can be regarded as a light-packed battle, only focusing on exploration.
After crossing the saline-alkali land, you will find the unfamiliar central area of the Nalun Desert. Going further, you will find the devil's land that the high-ranking wolves of the Gray Mane Kingdom called, which may be the cause of the sandstorm a month ago.
That's where Kant planned to explore in the past.
"No problem."
Kant nodded.
Knocking lightly on the horse's belly with his legs, he supported the King's Sword at his waist, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
The royal knight and lion knight behind him immediately followed.
At the same time, 5 mage apprentices also rode 5 strong pack horses, and moved forward at a constant speed beside Kant, heading towards the depths of the desert. Soon the entire team left the range of the sentry oasis.
With the slightly slower temperature, the marching process is not really a torment.
The journey was safe and sound.
Several Gnoll corpses could be seen on both sides of the road.
They were all dirty low-level wolf men, with skinny appearances, and their flesh had been dried by the sun.
Kant glanced over.
There was no sign of mercy.
If he hadn't plundered these gnolls back then, directly risked destroying their camps and wells, and even failed to defend against the attacks of their cousins, those high-level gnolls, then they should be the ones who turned into jerky now.
No, it should be said that it will become a pile of useless, invisible, gnoll excrement!
Humans are a delicious and tender meat for the Gnoll diet!
The weak eat the strong!
This is the Nalun Desert, and the law of the jungle is even more cruel.
It is impossible for the resources in the desert to maintain two forces, or even maintain one force. It is impossible for the low-level gnolls to coexist peacefully with Kant's castle!
There is an essential conflict between the two sides.
Right to survive!
Whoever wants to survive must occupy the resources of the entire Nalun Desert.
Just like Kant who has already won the victory, obtained control of the Nalun Desert, and has developed, he has obtained the ultimate right to survive, and can become a higher-level winner.
This is the law of the jungle.
Gnolls are weak, so they can only be eaten by Kant.
Only by eating these meats can Kant gain a stronger body and eat the meat of other weak people.
Associated layer by layer.
The weak can only fail and turn into wreckage to show their sorrow.
But so what
The strong never care about the defeat of the weak!
All the way to the big camp of the low-level gnolls, from a distance, a dozen or so low-level gnolls were running away, as if they had been spotted.
But Kant did not order the attack.
Today, he doesn't care about these low-level gnolls who have been scattered.
In other words, this group of former opponents has lost the ability to threaten him, not even a stepping stone!
"My lord."
Behind them, the mage apprentices pointed to the front and said, "There we sensed a little water element gathering."
They were pointing in the direction of the big camp.
A huge bunker appeared there, which seemed to be dug out by these low-level jackals.
Kant nodded: "Yes, there used to be a well there."
"Let's go and have a look."
Kant tapped the horse's belly lightly.
Lead the team there, after all, this is also the place where he fought bloody battles.
The knights behind immediately followed.
Soon after arriving at the former big camp, the sandstorm had wiped away all the darkness left by the fire, leaving only a messy puddle, messy footsteps and leftover bones.
There are desert antelopes and jackals.
It looks very tragic.
But Kant didn't care, and looked into the puddle with his head.
Various stones were scattered at the bottom of the four to five meter deep puddle, but the bottom was still clogged by a large amount of sand, and only water emerged from the ground.
If Kant wanted to drink it, he had to filter it.
This is the well that was directly destroyed by him.
"Well, the bottom of this puddle..."
The mage apprentices closed their eyes slightly, and said to Kant after sensing it: "It seems that there is an underground underground river. We have sensed a very strong water element. Although separated by a sand layer, we can still feel that the water is abundant, so it can seep upwards. This fresh water comes out and forms this little puddle."
