These people are none other than the soldiers who had previously announced their separation from Roger's command and acted smartly to defend the dilapidated castle in Gaia City.【】
In fact, these people openly questioned the commander's orders on the battlefield, which can be regarded as rebels. If Roger didn't want to argue with these blind little shrimps, he would definitely have the right to execute them on the spot. Just entered this shabby castle
Finally, the rebels were still feeling proud when Roger and others were surrounded by undead creatures, but they soon lost their joy.
The huge scene when Roger cast the Holy Light naturally attracted the attention of these rebels. When they discovered that Roger had almost wiped out all the undead creatures outside the city by himself, they felt a little worried about their previous decision.
I regretted it. But the team leader was not willing to admit defeat and cheered for the others loudly: "So what if we kill all the undead creatures outside the city? Don't forget that this is the Lunde Peninsula. There is no strong fortress. At night, it will definitely be attacked.
Undead creatures..."
Before the captain finished speaking, he opened his mouth and stared blankly outside the city. A majestic and solid castle had appeared out of thin air on the plains outside the city. Compared with that castle, the place where he was staying at this time was simply a
Pig pen.
"Captain, what should we do?" A soldier said with a sad face: "Please give me an idea quickly!"
The captain was also a veteran, and he quickly made the most correct choice: "Assault with the whole army, and rush to the castle before the undead creatures gather again!"
However, the captain's plan was good, but it was not so easy to implement. Several hundred people were besieged by undead creatures just as they left their hiding place, making it difficult to move in the city. Before they could rush outside the city, they had already lost money.
Most of the manpower. At this time, many undead creatures have reoccupied the open space outside the city. It is impossible for these rebels to rush to Roger's castle. The entire army was destroyed halfway.
Roger in the castle has seen all this, but has no intention of sending his men to rescue these guys. After being in the world of Toulonzo for so long, Roger's heart has become much harder than before, and he will never lose anything.
He doesn't have the strength to save these guys who don't trust him. Now he himself is not out of danger. He has to use every ounce of strength in the next battle. He is far from ready to act bravely regardless of everything.
Some time ago, Roger concentrated on building the castle and almost exhausted all the accumulated soul power, so he never expanded his troops. However, after entering the Lunde Peninsula, Roger killed the undead Hippogryph and eliminated the undead.
Chimera, after killing so many undead creatures, naturally accumulated some soul power again.
What makes Roger particularly happy is that he just used holy light to destroy tens of thousands of undead creatures. Because he did it directly, this achievement is all attributed to Roger. For Roger, this is a big deal.
A large amount of income is temporarily safe now, so naturally we have to think carefully about how to use so much soul power.
The first thing to do is of course to train soldiers. Considering that they are basically defensive operations, infantry and crossbowmen are of course the priority units to train. Roger asked the castle commander to train two thousand heavily armed pikemen and the same number of half-armored swordsmen.
soldiers, and train another thousand heavy crossbowmen and a thousand longbowmen.
Although cavalry is not the main force in city defense warfare, they cannot be completely ignored, so Roger trained another five hundred chainmail cavalry. If these heavy cavalry are used properly, they can also cause huge casualties to the enemy.
These are the strongest units of Roger's Hand. According to Castle Hub's calculations, it will take at least three days to train all these soldiers. By then, including Roger's Hand's original army and heavy spearmen, it will take at least three days.
The total number will reach more than 7,000, including 7,000 half-armored swordsmen, more than 4,000 crossbowmen, and nearly 2,000 light and heavy cavalry combined. In other words, Roger can directly command
The total number of troops will exceed 20,000!
Taking into account the weapons and equipment, personal strength, training level, morale and discipline of the more than 20,000 soldiers, Roger has enough power at this time to easily defeat a country like this. What he has to do now
It is to command this terrifying force to defend a tall and sturdy castle that can be repaired at any time!
Roger estimated that at least 300,000 undead creatures would be needed to attack in an organized manner to capture the castle. However, the vast majority of undead creatures acted based on instinct and did not have any unified command. Even if there were 300,000 such undead creatures,
Creatures may not necessarily pose a threat to Roger. In addition, Roger also has Seraph Archangel Angela, the undead creature's great killer, so it shouldn't be difficult to defend the castle and leave safely.
However, this is not the first time Roger has dealt with undead creatures. He knows that in addition to the vast majority of low-level undead creatures, there are also some beings with advanced wisdom and powerful strength. So even now, it seems that he has a sure chance of victory.
, but Roger still did not dare to take it lightly, and ordered the castle commander to train 60 junior magicians on the second floor of the already built magician tower to assist the soldiers in defense.
Not only is he just a junior magician, but he is already well respected by the nobles in other places. Even for an earl, it is already very respectable to hire two or three junior magicians. But Roger
There were sixty junior magicians in one move, and even Alonso III had never seen such a group of magicians.
After making this series of arrangements, Roger still felt a little uneasy. The memory of the previous horrific experience on the Lunde Peninsula was still fresh in his mind, which made him dare not look down upon the undead creatures in the slightest. Roger stood on the tall and solid wall of the castle.
As the undead creatures gradually gathered towards the castle, they frowned and murmured to themselves: "Is there anything else that can be done?"
Just as Roger was talking to himself, his eyes fell on the tall shooting tower behind the city wall, his frown immediately relaxed, he slapped the wall hard and said: "Yeah, how could I forget this?
!”
Having made up his mind, Roger couldn't wait to ask the castle hub: "Are the materials currently in the warehouse enough to upgrade the shooting tower?"
"Let me do the math..." Castle Hub quickly gave the answer: "The soul power and materials are enough!"
"Great!" Roger said without hesitation: "Immediately upgrade the shooting tower to a crossbow bed platform!"
The most common undead creature that poses the greatest threat to the city wall is the skeletal mammoth. To deal with such a behemoth, ordinary crossbowmen are useless. The most effective weapon is the extremely lethal crossbow bed. Upgrade the shooting tower to a crossbow bed platform.
, the heavy crossbow bed made by the dwarves for Roger will be put to use, and there will be no need to worry about the threat of the skeletal mammoth.
After making these arrangements, Roger finally felt a little more at ease and waited for the attack of the undead creatures.
