Elite Mages’ Academy

The statistics of the battle situation on the first day came out soon. Each squad leader was either happy or sad after receiving the statistics. The twelve classes added up, so far the death toll is 40, and nearly a hundred people are slightly or seriously injured. Among the seriously injured, at least More than a dozen people have basically completely lost their combat effectiveness, and it is no different from being killed in battle.

The attrition is too serious!

This is only the first day, and because of the plan on how to defend the city, the acting squad leaders of the temporary headquarters had another fierce quarrel over this. Some people felt that the fortress was too small after all. The siege may not last long, so they feel that they should hold the enemy outside the city to delay time.

But others felt that their opponent was likely to be the main force of the orcs. Judging from the previous battles, the orcs were stronger than them, and it would be foolish to give up the solid city walls.

Everyone always wants to show some excellent commanding ability, so that they will get a higher evaluation in the end. Maybe the selection of seniors depends on this decision?

Therefore, the first day of landing was almost spent in quarrels. Since Xiao Lin woke up, he joined this temporary headquarters composed of all acting squad leaders as a matter of course, but most of the time he did not express any opinions, but After discussing with Chengming, two classes with good basic bow and arrow skills from both classes will be sent out to investigate first.

Whether they are defending from a stronghold or attacking proactively, they must first grasp the enemy's movements, and for some reason, Xiao Lin always has a very restless feeling in his heart. He always feels that he seems to have overlooked something crucial. Things, but I can't grasp the key points.

Despite the constant controversy. However, the squad leaders of the temporary headquarters didn't know anything. Orders for many measures were quickly issued. It was quickly executed by the students of all classes.

The first is to set up a large number of traps at the foot of the mountain and on the slopes. Those architects have provided a lot of guidance and help in this regard, and there are also batches of materials available in the warehouse of the fortress. The traps are mainly divided into two types. The flame trap is Made of solidified animal fat oil, and then paved with magic materials with extremely low ignition points, as long as a person walks on it, a little friction from the soles of their feet can ignite the entire trap.

There is also a thorn trap. Plants covered with barbs are used as materials and buried in the soil. The barb itself does not cause much damage, but after being coated with toxins, its power cannot be underestimated. At the same time, everyone also temporarily made barriers to prevent cavalry, such as horses and ropes. things.

The investigations sent by Xiao Lin and Chengming didn't find anything. The first day after the siege was very peaceful. In the evening, the squad leaders specially cooked a few large pots of thick broth with the meat in the warehouse and put them on the open training ground. , A few more bonfires were lit, and the rich smell of meat filled the night sky.

They originally wanted to invite the captain and sailors on the warship to come and enjoy it together. But they politely refused, because they need to be vigilant at all times. In order to respond as quickly as possible, and this batch of warships will return to Dawn City in at most two or three days, which makes everyone somewhat regretful. Originally, someone suggested that they want the warships to continue their investigations along the coastline.

But according to the historical process, these warships must leave. Compared with this supply station, the defense of Dawn City is obviously more important to the fleet.

The next day the fleet pulled anchor as scheduled, but before that, Xiao Lin found the captain of the previous warship and made a small request, which was graciously accepted by the latter, so a batch of observation scrolls appeared in the fortress. In this world, this kind of scroll that combines comprehensive capabilities such as farsightedness and night vision is basically something that can replace a telescope.

Compared to other people who are still arguing about how to defend, Xiao Lin seems to be more concerned about reconnaissance. Although many of the students have learned the eagle eye skill, which can greatly improve the visual range, it is still not as good as Such a high-end reel.

In this way, the four days passed in a flash. After everyone rushed to work, hundreds of traps, large and small, had been laid near the fortress, and the architects also erected more than a dozen defensive towers successively.

However, due to the urgency of time, these defense towers are relatively simple arrow towers and spell towers, and people need to be arranged to operate them.

But no matter what, it seemed that the fortress had become impenetrable, and although the scouts sent by Xiao Lin returned every time they still found no trace of the enemy, the basic topographic map of the vicinity was almost completed.

Except for a lush small jungle near the foot of the mountain, the other places are vast plains. No wonder the orcs set up the largest supply station here. In terms of transportation, their wolf cavalry want to rush here It was a breeze indeed.

Under Xiao Lin's repeated reminders, other people gradually focused on the investigation, and later on the fourth day, they began to set up simple outposts at major intersections. Because there were no remote communication tools, they even imitated the The beacon towers on the earth are full of weeds in the outposts. As long as there is any trace of the enemy, the guards will immediately set them on fire.

The role of brainstorming is still obvious. Everyone is racking their brains to think about whether there may be omissions. Although they are arguing about many details, everyone's ultimate goal is the same. The longer you hold on to this place, everyone greater benefits can be obtained.

After the initial tension, many people couldn’t help but feel proud when they saw the brand-new fortress in front of them and countless defensive towers. There were enough materials in the warehouse for support, and the architects’ skills, Their efficiency is still quite high.

After relaxing, everyone can finally take a little time to enjoy the nearby scenery, especially standing on the fortress, facing the humid sea breeze, it is very refreshing.

Some people will sneak onto the beach, touch some seafood products while the tide is low, and then discuss with you how to eat seafood in this world, or simply bask in the sun on the beach. The air here is indeed quite fresh.

The squad leaders initially forbade this kind of behavior, but later, with the gradual improvement of the investigation system, the establishment of outposts and beacon towers gave them confidence that they would have enough time to respond to any possible attacks, and the daily tense nerves really required Relax a little, otherwise they will be exhausted by themselves before the orcs come, so some monitors and counselors also joined the ranks.

Xiao Lin has worked hard these days. He even continued to arrange two teams of archers to monitor the sky around the clock during the day and not allow any animals like goshawks to fly into the airspace near the fort. After some deliberation, she took the initiative to invite Gu Xiaoyue to go to the beach for a walk. (To be continued.) Ps: Book friends, I am the cabbage of the end.
