"Gnoll?"
Zhang Yang subconsciously thought this way, but immediately he felt that it was impossible.
Although 27 days have passed since the last brief battle between the two sides, it is still not easy for the Jackals to recover. You must know that they lost 61 captain-level soldiers and 37 elite soldiers in the last battle.
Even if the gnolls can solve the source of the demon souls, what about the source of the population
The upper limit of recruitment for the village building order is 500 people, which should not be publicized. The upper limit of recruitment for the other party is probably 5,000.
"Can you confirm the identity of the other party?"
"Reporting to the village chief, it is not possible. The recruitment of the Abyss Ghost Clan is not very difficult, so it is impossible to determine which force they belong to. The only thing I can be sure of now is that the three little ghosts who just appeared are very cautious. I dare not go within five kilometers of the village. If my ghost eyes hadn't happened to spot their traces, it would have been difficult for me to detect them."
"Even when I try to capture them, they immediately run away without a trace."
The ghost priest didn't give many clues, and Zhang Yang didn't blame it as a higher-level ghost clan for not being able to catch the three village goblins. After all, the most important role of the ghost priest was to accumulate Yin Qi and continuously restore the durability of the Wood Demon Tower. , does not belong to the battle sequence, otherwise if it were a ghost assassin, the opponent's kid would never even think about getting close to a radius of ten kilometers.
Of course, it's not bad now. At least you don't have to worry about the enemy peeking into the village through the imp. And in a certain sense, this can be regarded as a wake-up call for the enemy.
"Go ahead and inform the patrol team to increase their vigilance and use the third-level vision talisman every ten minutes in places where there are no ghost eyes to monitor."
"Construction of the castle continues."
"The quarrying team continues to quarry stone. Well, I will personally lead it."
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yang gave the order. He was just a little surprised now, not at all worried or panicked.
He even expected enemies to knock on the door.
Since scaring away a hero-level flying monster half a month ago, Zhang Yang ordered the archer team led by Qin Yidao, Liu Dali, Sun Goudan, etc. to change their vigilance method, that is, to hide.
There are a total of 12 archer captains and 10 spear captains. They do nothing every day and hide in the castle, ready to launch focused fire attacks on any flying monsters that dare to approach the village.
Among them, the archer captains each carry 30 ordinary golden eagle armor-piercing arrows or wolf fang arrows, and there are 5 golden eagle armor-piercing arrows that Zhang Yang has strengthened with mana and demon power, with sharpness +3 and evil-killing properties.
Coupled with the captain-level bow that has also been strengthened, their attack power can definitely be called terrifying.
The 10 spear captains were also given special care, allowing each of them to carry ten spears of imprisonment.
Their presence can cover a three-dimensional space with the castle as the center, a radius of 500 meters, and an altitude of 300 meters.
In this area, there are barracks, training grounds, residential buildings, and granaries, all of which happen to be within the protection range.
Then, within a range of 500 meters to 1,000 meters, it was basically the farmland of the village. Here, Zhang Yang arranged two daily patrol groups.
Each team consists of five people, including one archer captain, two shield trooper captains and two spearman captains.
Once something unexpected happens, they will move closer to the fortress as soon as possible, and together with 17 other elite soldiers, they will protect farmers and villagers from entering the fortress, and then rely on the fortress to fight.
This is the inner defense line of the village, and finally the outer defense line, that is, the five-kilometer patrol warning circle, which is composed of the four-man group of violent bears plus four archer captains and six shield trooper captains.
They will carry two ghost eyes, a large number of third-level vision charms and protective charms, and patrol within a five-kilometer area.
If we say that five days ago, the strength of their patrol was still a little weak, but after Zhang Yang strengthened their weapons, it would be bragging to say that they could face a hundred captain-level soldiers head-on, but if the enemy only had fifty For a captain-level soldier, he is definitely seeking death.
Because the equipment of the Four Bears is the most luxurious in the village at present, and it was also carefully strengthened by Zhang Yang with the greatest efforts. Duan Kuan's knife, Wang Mumu's shield, Song Dachui's hammer, Zhou Datou's armor-breaking awl, all of them are good. Excellent product.
Even if we encounter heroes like Black-skinned Mountain Monster again, it is not an exaggeration to say that they can kill them instantly.
Even if there are many captain-level archers on the opposite side, they can form a shield formation and rush forward in one go, or they can retreat smoothly under the cover of the shield formation.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Yang dared to leave the village with confidence. He felt that he might be able to deceive the enemy who was spying in the dark, if the enemy wanted to take the opportunity to quickly annihilate this patrol team.
As for the quarrying team led by Zhang Yang, the configuration is equally luxurious. Wu Yuan, plus six archer captains, eleven shield trooper captains, two spearmen captains, seven craftsmen, plus himself, the total is 28 people.
They have to go to the quarry eight kilometers away, which may also be the target of the enemy's sneak attack.
"Hey, am I a little distracted now? I dare to put myself in danger."
Before setting off, Zhang Yang thought in his heart, which was quite strange.
But he still didn't hesitate at all because he was sober.
First of all, the construction of the castle is at a critical juncture and cannot be stopped, and there is no reason to stop just because of the appearance of the three little ghosts. Zhang Yang's subsequent series of plans will all rely on this castle.
Secondly, during this period, Wu Yuan and the Four Bears had already found out that there was no second stone mine within a dozen kilometers. They had to go to the quarry eight kilometers away. Again, , the castle construction must not stop.
Third, since the quarrying team must be dispatched every day, instead of showing off and hiding in the lair and worrying, it is better to follow him personally. He is not a weakling now. If he has so many trump cards, he will still be surrounded by the enemy. If he were to be killed by force, then even if he had been hiding in the castle, he would not be able to change the final outcome.
Then there is the last and most important reason, which is that Zhang Yang does not want to be a pure strategist and commanding lord. During this period, he was building the village like crazy, which was completely forced.
Now that he has the opportunity, why should he hide in the village? Fighting, facing the battle of life and death, is the best way to grow.
There is no way to hide from it.
After a while, he will start the hero trial. If he doesn't seize the opportunity to hone himself now, then it will be just him and Wu Yuan. What should he do
