*****************
Although under the leadership of Xiao Feng, their human tribe had won many victories against the orcs, Kyle and the others still became intimidated when they thought of the number of 300,000.
After all, many of them had been defeated by these orcs, and those orcs who were not afraid of death left an indelible impression on them on the battlefield.
Although Xiao Feng had led them in many battles in which they defeated many with less, the number of orcs at that time was only 10,000, but this time it was 300,000!
When thinking about such numbers, anyone will inevitably feel fear!
They even had a very pessimistic mood. After a series of deductions, they believed that although Qukai City was also in a dangerous terrain, it was definitely undefendable, and even the entire Hulu Gorge could not be defended.
The only last barrier they can hold on to is Riverrun City, so this is the main reason why Xiao Feng saw so many people frantically raising the height and strengthening Riverrun City.
After hearing Friday's explanation, Xiao Feng's heart became heavier and heavier. Indeed, this time is very different from before!
An army of 300,000 orcs attacked with thunder. Even though he had a powerful weapon in his hand, were those orcs so easy to kill?
Even if there were 300,000 pigs left to be slaughtered by him, they wouldn't be so easy to get rid of!
"So you have been heightening and strengthening the city wall here since last winter?"
Xiao Feng glanced at the construction teams up and down the city wall. Many of them were former captive orc slaves, and there were also many refugee teams who had recently taken refuge.
"Yes, sir. Before the winter started last year, after Sir Kyle introduced their investigation situation, we basically agreed with his judgment. Riverrun can be said to be the last barrier we can defend, so we all
We agreed to increase the intensity of construction. Moreover, we had captured many orcs in several wars before, and there were also many people who came to seek refuge recently, so there was no shortage of human resources, so we started construction last winter.
"
After listening to Friday's introduction, Xiao Feng nodded. He looked to the right side of the city wall. It was originally a mountain. The north side of the mountain was full of stone walls, which were very steep. It used to be considered a natural hazard. When Xiao Feng and the others built the city, they also
And how have you paid attention to that place?
But now there are many teams over there, building in sections. Some people are building the city wall along the ridgeline, while others are cutting down trees to clear the view below the north slope, and burning some less steep sections.
The method of stone watering is to cut the rocks into the mountains and artificially make the mountains steeper.
Obviously someone has paid attention to this perspective that was not paid much attention to before.
"It is also the place where Lord Charisman proposed the construction and rectification after inspecting the blind spots of our defense in Riverrun. After all, this time the Orcs may have an army of 300,000 to attack, so we must pay attention here."
Naturally, Wu Wu also saw the areas that Xiao Feng was concerned about, so he explained them to him. Xiao Feng nodded, and indeed those areas needed attention and rectification.
Friday and Kyle are right to worry. If Calabash Gap cannot be defended, Riverrun will be the last fortress of mankind.
Facing an army of 300,000 orcs, they really shouldn't leave any blind spots for defense. After all, there are many capable strangers among the orcs. Different races give them different talents.
If you really send those orcs who are good at mountain warfare, climb over the ridge and fight out from behind, it will be troublesome.
"Where's the Calabash Gorge? How's the situation?"
Xiao Feng asked with a sullen face about the situation over at Calabash Gorge.
"Right now, Yingran is guarding the Huluzui Castle on the south side, ensuring material transportation. Sir Charles Mann is also seizing the time to build the city at the Huluyao Canyon. Sir Kyle and Lord Bloom are guarding Qukai City.
Training troops over there to prepare for the coming orc army."
Friday briefly introduced the situation at Calabash Gorge. Xiao Feng nodded and then asked again.
"Have there been no movement among the orcs since spring?"
"There was no movement. Originally, we thought they would go back to attack after the beginning of spring. Unexpectedly, they did not send out troops after the beginning of spring. According to the news that Pan Deli came back from, it was because this army had also been on expedition in the south for several years, and the soldiers were very tired.
Therefore, after winter, spring planting is needed and summer is busy, so the upper levels of the orcs allowed them to repair for a period of time."
After listening to Friday's introduction, Xiao Feng basically understood that it seemed that these orcs were planning to launch a general attack on them after the autumn harvest.
And this time the orcs paid special attention to them, and even built an advance base in the Huluzui Canyon of the prairie near the Napal Prairie.
It seems that this time they plan to uproot Xiao Feng and his forces in one go.
Three hundred thousand orcs. Thinking about this number, Xiao Feng felt a headache. Although he was not afraid of these orcs, it was normal for Kyle and the others to be afraid.
Fortunately, the current human resources in Riverrun City are much more abundant than before, which can support them to complete the construction of this city defense.
And thanks to the excellent work done by Majes, it was possible to ensure that so many people still had food to eat even if they did not participate in labor production, otherwise this tribe would have been in chaos long ago.
After checking a circle of city defenses, Xiao Feng returned to the cave, where he had a good communication with Bilodis. Early the next morning, Xiao Feng drove a Black Shark helicopter straight to the Twin Towers City at the southernmost tip of the mainland.
Keira is in charge here, and he also wants to see how the city is being built.
Although there was an army of orcs outside, he was not panicking. This war was inevitable, so he had to figure out the bargaining chip in his hand before going to war with these orcs.
Twin Towers City serves as the rear area. If Riverrun City becomes the front line, then this place will become Riverrun City's material production and supply base, so he must pay attention to this place. With this city, he can fight against the orcs.
Fight it down.
The distance in a straight line is more than 2,000 kilometers. It took Xiao Feng two days of flying to reach the Twin Towers City.
When his Black Shark helicopter appeared in the Twin Towers City, the people on the ground were scared to death. But when his helicopter landed and people saw the mage coming out of the artifact, they immediately knelt down and cheered.
It turns out that the powerful mage is back, and this time he is driving an iron bird and soaring into the sky. What is this if not a god?
Xiao Feng only used this one action to win over many people's hearts.
This Twin Towers City is a newly built city. There are many people in the city who have not been trained in Riverrun City. After defecting to the base, they were assigned to build the Twin Towers City.
Therefore, some of them have only heard the legend of Xiao Feng but have never met Xiao Feng. Their loyalty to Xiao Feng may be average.
Just like the many Yingzhou people who were brought back by Yingran!
Xiao Feng used this method of appearance just to prevent these people from having second thoughts, and the people of Twin Towers who had already been exposed to his legend were really shocked.
Keira even went out of the city in person to welcome his arrival, and accompanied him to inspect the situation in the Twin Towers City.
Compared with the last time I came here, Twin Towers City has also changed a lot. This city now has a population of 150,000.
To the north of the city, the castle is built against the mountain, spiraling up the mountain. At the foot of the mountain are large fields and pastures in the distance. To the west to the foot of the mountain, there are many workshops and mines, separated by old
You can hear the chants of the orc captives in the mine over there as they work.
The workshop was also a bustling scene, with the sound of tinkling iron constantly coming from the place.
To the east of the castle is the rushing river that rushes into the sea. At this time, there is a little bit of alum on the rushing river, and hundreds of small boats are working on the river to catch fish.
At the same time, there were many large ships docked at the docks on the shore. People were constantly loading boxes of goods onto the ships. Then, with the help of wind and oars, the large ships slowly moved along the river and upstream to the north.
After passing through the tunnel on the mountainside, you arrive at the southern part of the Twin Towers City, which is a harbor surrounded by two mountains.
Coming out of the tunnel is the inner city, and then going down are the places where people live.
Unlike the residents of the northern city, who mainly live in farming, animal husbandry, mining, and working in factories, the residents of the southern city are mainly sailors, and their lifestyle mainly involves fishing at sea.
The urban area extending from the mountainside all the way to the seaside is different from the North City. There is no city wall here. Except for a circle of city walls in the inner city close to the mountainside, the urban area below is an open urban area.
The mountains on both sides of the environmentally friendly harbor are their natural city walls.
The flat land by the sea is densely packed with houses, but the houses here are a little more chaotic. This is mainly due to the rapid expansion of the population.
However, the pier extending into the sea is very clear. There are countless fishing boats docked beside the wooden pier. These should be the masterpieces of those Yingzhou people.
On the right side of the dock, there is even a wooden shipyard, and people are constantly coming and going from the shipyard.
Compared with the slightly serious atmosphere in Riverrun, the people and environment here seem much more relaxed.
After briefly looking at the situation in the Twin Towers City, Xiao Feng and Kayla returned to the official residence where she currently lives.
The official residence is on the top of the mountain in Nancheng District, overlooking the harbor below the mountain. At the same time, the balcony on the north can also have an unobstructed view of Beicheng. It is really a good place. This girl of noble background really knows how to enjoy it.
"Have you heard about the situation in the north?"
