Chapter 87 The Miracle that Mortals Can Also Participate In

Under the command and guidance of the two knights, the soldiers and civilians of the Cecil Frontier were finally mobilized.

The news of the imminent attack of the aberrations has spread throughout the entire camp, but under Gawain's intentional guidance and hints, the panic and pressure caused by this incident were temporarily suppressed or diverted. Wencesill's name played a decisive role in this.

In this regard, Gawain himself is most satisfied that at least so far, there have been no escapees in the camp.

Although the serfs and commoners may be ignorant, they are not stupid. Just let them know that this is a barbaric place far away from civilized society. Outside the camp, there are mountains or virgin jungles, and monsters are wandering between the mountains. It takes at least three or four days to travel to a safe Tanzanian town. When the aberrations are approaching, they will die faster if they run out. Those who try to escape will naturally weigh their own life and death.

Gawain had specially asked Hetty to emphasize this point to the people.

So despite the slightest fear, despite the raging fires and boundless monsters that Cecil led a few months ago still lingering in these people's minds, the people tried to summon their courage, they heard that the man from seven The hero lord a hundred years ago had a special way to deal with the aberrations, and seeing Heidi and Rebecca confidently commanding the soldiers to prepare for battle, they also gained a little confidence.

And those tasks assigned to them are also one of the motivations for boosting confidence.

Firing "slag" that is said to be a weapon in the kiln area, making pedal traps, carving and trimming runes, tasks even illiterate civilians can do well, and while doing this, soldiers are on hand It was constantly emphasized that these things could be used to deal with those monsters, so those who worked began to feel that the "ancient duke" was probably really capable, and worked harder.

In fact, even the soldiers who were in charge of "reading" were not quite sure what these things were for. They were only ordered to do what they had heard from Gawain to the civilians who were working.

"Put the crushed spar on the bottom layer, and then put the stone flakes engraved with the magic circle! If the stone flakes are damaged, come here and replace them with new ones!"

"Put the good stuff here!"

"Remember to check if the crystal is lit. Crystals that don't glow can't be used. Come and change them here!"

"These things you make are weapons, and they are designed to deal with monsters. This is Duke Gawain's instructions! He is the nemesis of those monsters!"

Gawain took Rebecca and Heidi through the empty field at the northeast side of the camp,

This open space is dedicated to the production of "art". Originally, Gawain planned to name this place the Louvre or something to represent his position as a treasure trove of art, but no one understood this, so he had to give up.

He bent down to examine the neatly stacked objects at the feet of the statistician: they were half-foot-square wooden containers less than two inches high, filled with Rebecca crystals, and Above the crystal is a black stone flake depicting a detonating circle.

But these structures alone cannot detonate these magical "mines", and they also require a rune trigger to activate.

This last step cannot be done by civilians or serfs. Considering the risk of accidental explosion, the setting of the rune trigger is left in the last step: these wooden boxes will be buried in the mountain pass open space in the southwest of the camp. Only when buried, the soldiers will Only with specialized trap artisans will the rune trigger be combined on the magic circle.

The rune trigger is a fairly simple structure. The pair of runes as the "trigger mechanism" is separated by a thin piece of stone, on which is a layer of wood. After stepping on the wood, the stone shatters, and the two runes follow Contact, forming a complete rune path and then activating the detonation circle, which eventually causes an explosion.

This is the otherworldly version of the mine. Although the technical details are completely different from the distant relatives of the earth, the ideas have something in common. It is obviously not in line with the chivalrous spirit of this era, but Hetty and Rebecca's evaluation of this is regardless What kind of chivalry is he, this thing looks so interesting!

In this world with extraordinary power, there is another convenient place to use "landmines", that is, you don't have to worry about the problem of "laying mines for a while, mine clearance crematorium", Hetty will stay on every detonation array. His own magic mark, this kind of "magic trick", which is not even a first-level spell, can ensure that every mine can be quickly located, and all unexploded mines can be easily found and eliminated after the battle.

Of course, the number of magic marks that Heidi can support by herself is limited, but in this battle, her magic marks are more than enough.

After checking the work here, Gawain handed over the defense of the camp to the two family knights and Rebecca, while he took Heidi to the Dark Mountains.

On a rock wall in the north of the mountain, more "Rebecca Crystals" are placed.

In fact, most of the crystals accumulated in the camp these days have been transported here. In order to ensure that the rock wall collapses on a sufficient scale, Gawain dare not be stingy about the "equivalent".

With the help of Hetty's Evocative Hand and Weight Loss, the workers and supplies had already been delivered. With the help of some simple ropes and scaffolding, the masons have dug pits one by one on the mountain wall, and filled a large number of crystal particles into the pits and between the original stone cracks on the mountain wall. The matter can only be left to Hetty himself to complete.

Only the third-level Heidi can't use the mid-level mage skills like flying, and even the low-level floatation can't last for too long, so she can only stand on the ground and use the evocative hand to move objects with her mind Spells to complete the work of drawing the detonation circle on the rock wall, and adjust the spectator through the eye of the mage. This kind of precise control is actually beyond the ability of a low-level mage, but fortunately, in addition to being a low-level mage, Heidi is also a believer of the "Goddess of Magic" who has officially converted. She prayed to the goddess of magic before working and obtained a short The blessings of this will enable the work to continue.

In order to ensure the normal operation of this extra-large detonating magic circle, Gawain made a lot of money this time. He took a large amount of prefabricated powdered mithril and amethyst dust from the treasure house in the mountains, and combined it with the alchemy potion prepared by Pittman. The most expensive "pigment" ever made, Hetty can "paint" these magic materials directly on the rock wall, which saves a lot of engraving and inlay work, and shortens the time.

Now, the most precious thing is time.

When Heidi drew the huge lines and runes in place one by one, Amber's figure emerged from the shadow of the nearby trees, with a nervous expression on her face, she leaned over to Gawain and whispered: " Those monsters are already very close, half a day at most."

"I know, I guess it's almost the same," Gawain nodded slightly, "Did they come according to the expected route?"

"I was almost going to another road in the middle," Amber said with a hint of fear. "Later, I dared to escape from the shadow state for a moment, and then led them to this road, but relative, They're getting more irritable now."

Gawain looked at Amber in surprise: "Why are you so courageous this time?"

Amber pouted: "Hey, we've come this far, what's the use of shrinking your head at this time, it's better to be reckless with you, maybe you can really live."

As she said that, her eyes couldn't help but rest on the mountain wall in front of her.

This high cliff is next to the mountain road where the encounter with the four aberrations occurred before. Below the cliff is the road that I walked through. A state of collapse may occur at any time, and there is only one road below the mountain road. When the aberrations pass by, it will inevitably form a crowded and long queue. When the mountain wall collapses, they have absolutely no way to escape. It is indeed a very good ambush location.

If there is a high-level magister here, he will definitely choose to blow up the mountain wall to kill those monsters. After all, for a powerful magus, to let the rock wall collapse only requires an extremely effective pyrotechnic explosion. It's just a technique or an earth element disintegration.

But at this moment, what wants to do all this is a third-level low-level wizard who can't even hit Frostbolt, as well as a large group of ordinary masons, villagers, and serfs.

This made Amber feel completely weird.

The translucent evocative hand moved on the rock wall, applying alchemical potions mixed with mithril powder and amethyst dust as pigments on the surface of those stones. Many runes had been formed, which made the entire mountain wall look like a certain It is as strange as a strange religious totem, and above the cliff, you can also see the simple rope ladders and brackets used by the masons before, which are "construction traces" that have not been demolished in time and are not ready to be demolished.

Proof that ordinary people have participated in this incredible project.

Not far away, the masons and apprentices are resting. They used up a lot of strength and courage to tie a few ropes to dig holes on the mountain wall, which is not an easy task, especially when the time is tight and they have to work together. Even more so, but they still completed this challenge, which even made Gawain feel a little incredible. He originally thought that this work would take more time, and the completion rate would not catch up with his expectations.

But Gawain soon realized that this was not because the craftsmen and apprentices had a sense of honor, and most of them had nothing to do with the desire to survive, but because the poor people of this era lived like this.

Is it difficult to dig a hole in a mountain wall with a rope attached? It is not much harder than repairing the spire of the lord's castle with a rope tied, nor is it much more difficult than picking herbs on the cliff for the lord.

It is said that four hundred years ago, in some mountainous areas in the western part of the kingdom, serfs were not even allowed to tie ropes to pick herbs because the local ropes at that time were even more expensive than the serfs' lives.

And here, they have at least one rope tied to their bodies, and what they do is no longer just for the lord.
