Chapter 301 The Defensive Layout of the Final Challenge 【Subscription】

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and now it is time to gather the manpower.

Zong Shen sat down on the threshold of the entrance of the small courtyard.

The first to gather was San Fatty. He walked out of the training ground with thirty-three farmers and gathered at the entrance of the small courtyard.

Mariel is nearby, using the communication crystal for notifications.

The second group assembled and took their place were twelve wolf cavalrymen from the second wolf cavalry team and eleven wolf cavalrymen from the third wolf cavalry team.

Followed by two goblin rippers, an Avalon light infantry, water mage Lepe, and another claws druid, they were originally the defense of the territory.

In the end, it was the kobold chief Dutra, who brought 258 kobolds and slave Quet back from outside the city in a mighty manner, leaving the kobolds in the last row.

There are more than 200 kobolds, and there are also a large group of Ulla Ula, but because of their short stature, it looks a bit like a kindergarten assembly from a distance.

Mariel completed the task and came to the assembled queue to wait for Zong Shen's order. Even the dwarf uncle and Alanna heard the movement and walked out of the blacksmith shop.

Zong Shen looked at the dwarf uncle and smiled slightly to greet him. It was rare for him to see the tired look on the dwarf uncle's face, as well as the dark circles under his eyes from staying up late.

Although he looked tired, the dwarf uncle had a smile on his face and winked at Zong Shen.

"My lord, after working overtime for the past few days, the heavy combat puppet has finally been repaired!"

"I have successfully implanted the communication crystal on the transmission line of the battle puppet's magic energy core, making up for the damaged area."

"As long as you dial the corresponding communication crystal, you can activate the heavy combat puppet to fight."

"Of course, if you want it to stop, you can only wait until its mana is exhausted."

"The repaired heavy combat puppet is basically what I told you before."

The dwarf uncle bowed slightly and reported some good news.

Speaking of the [Heavy Combat Puppet], this thing has been handed over to the dwarf uncle for several days.

Finally got it fixed before the final challenge.

Although due to damage, it is impossible to receive instructions, so you can fight where you want.

But according to the previous ideas, it can still come in handy.

[Heavy Combat Puppet] has a high solidity value and armor value, as long as it is pre-charged with magic energy, and then placed in a suitable location outside the territory, wait until the monster group appears and drown the inactive heavy combat puppet, Shen directly connected the communication crystal and activated the puppet.

With the power of the [Heavy Combat Puppet], it is enough to stir up the storm among the monsters.

Do not seek to kill thousands of troops, it is enough to cause chaos in the monster group.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Dwarf."

"After a while, I'll take you to Bosbon's pub for a good drink."

Zong Shen was in a good mood, and affirmed the dwarf uncle with a smile.

But I saw the dwarf uncle wave his hand.

"You don't need to drink, it's all my job."

"I've made up my mind to quit drinking."

The dwarf uncle said firmly, since the last time he had a heart-to-heart talk with Zong Shen, the fighting spirit in his heart has been aroused, and he has new hope for the future, no longer passive and decadent, and even determined to quit drinking completely.

Zong Shen nodded, did not answer, his eyes turned and swept over everyone present.

Not all of Zong Shen's team gathered here,

The first wolf cavalry team, the exploration team, the combat team led by Veresa who was on the front line of the crypt, and the scout team sent by Zong Shen to Dinan Village for layout development did not show up to gather.

But this time it was the largest gathering.

After scanning around, Zong Shen turned his face with his hands behind his back, and began to announce the final challenge in public, so that everyone could be mentally prepared.

Zong Shen thought that this news would cause everyone to be restless, but he didn't expect everyone to be calm, including those kobolds who quarry stones every day.

"Don't worry, my lord! We will defend the territory to the death!"

"Never let those disgusting crypt monsters step into the territory!"

The first person to make a statement was Avid, the captain of the second team of Wolf Riders. He was also a veteran who followed Zong Shen earlier, and he was only one day later than Colby in terms of qualifications.

After he was the first to speak, everyone started waving their arms and shouting loudly.

"Swear to defend the territory to the death!"

"Swear to defend the territory to the death..."

...

Even those kobolds who couldn't speak human words raised their hands, and under the leadership of the kobold chief Dutra, they imitated everyone's tones and began to shout.

Hundreds of people shouted at the same time, the momentum was amazing.

"Clap clap clap!"

Zong Shen clapped his hands, then opened his hands to signal everyone to keep silent.

After the shouting stopped, Zong Shen spoke slowly.

"Very good, if everyone has this fighting spirit, we will be able to successfully complete the final challenge."

"Leave a few guys now to re-bolt and reload these airborne Stormtroopers."

"The rest come with me."

Zong Shen waved his hand, and several members of the defense team voluntarily stayed behind to load the storm crossbow, and the others followed Zong Shen to the outside of the North Gate.

He walked directly to the north gate 200 meters away, opened [Construction], and started placing [Tier 1 roadblocks]. Along the entire section of the city wall, 10 roadblocks were placed. These roadblocks were randomly placed 200 meters away from the city wall. The locations are not neatly arranged, forming a very perfunctory roadblock line of defense.

At the same time, ten [Tier 1 Spike Traps] were placed near the roadblocks to assist in defense.

This is not the end, he placed ten scattered [Tier 1 straw huts] in a farther place.

These grass huts are cheap to manufacture, and their sturdiness value is not high.

This kind of primary building has low cost and low cost, but it has great benefits for defense.

After the layout was completed, he named ten farmers to start construction on the spot. Zong Shen began to plan the layout of the trenches before and after the roadblocks. He was going to be in the distance range of 150 meters to 350 meters from the city wall before and after the roadblocks. Inside, a total of three trenches are arranged.

Each trench is composed of 12 to 15 sections of trenches. The excavation specifications of each section of the trench are 5 meters wide x 3 meters deep x 10 meters long, so that there are 36 to 45 trenches outside each city wall. Barricades are scattered around, forming a defensive line with no pattern to be found.

To deal with those crypt monsters that get together in groups, there is no need to arrange a line of defense that is too neat. This kind of scattered defense line is not easy to be targeted and destroyed by the crypt heroes.

Don't throw away the soil that you dug the trench. You can use this soil to ram a small rammed earth wall more than one meter high and two meters thick at the outermost trench more than ten meters away. .

As for the other directions of the territory, he also arranged it in the same way. All kinds of defense planning were extremely random, and he could not find any rules, including the location of the trenches, which he simply marked on the ground with branches. What he wanted was this kind of randomness. The effect is that the outside of the territory is in a mess, and it is good that there is no breakthrough in the law.

After all the arrangements were completed, the manpower was evenly distributed to the four directions. The farmers were responsible for construction, the kobolds and warriors were responsible for digging the trenches. As for the digging tools, mine picks were used instead. Although it was not as good as a shovel, it was sufficient. , With so many people working at the same time, Zong Shen estimates that by eight or nine o'clock tonight, all the work will be completed.

After those crypt monsters die, they will turn into pus and melt into the ground. There is no need to consider the problem of clogging the corpse, but at most the damage caused by those crypt monsters stepping on it.

At this time, the intervention of the soldiers and the territorial defense buildings is required. The wolf cavalry can disperse and cruise directly on the outer large map, and there is no need to be trapped in the city.

When the three wolf riding teams move together, they will ambush outside the territory in advance. Once the crypt monsters gather to attack the territory, they will be notified to come and attack from the periphery of the monster group.

After all the external defense deployments in the four directions were properly arranged, Zong Shen and Mariel returned to the territory and began to arrange and arrange the eleven fourth-order characteristic arrow towers at hand.

There are a total of two Tier 4 [Thunder Towers] in their hands, with a range of 500 meters. After some calculations, Zong Shen and Mariel decided to place the two [Thunder Towers] one on the left and one on the right. On both sides of the small courtyard, there is still a range of more than 200 to 300 meters in several directions on the periphery.

The range of the [Thunder Tower] is not too far, so it does not consider its ultra-long range output capability. In this position, it is enough to attack the place outside the trench front.

Two of the three fourth-order [Moon Blade Pagodas] were placed in the middle of the city walls on the east and west sides of the territory, and the remaining one was placed twenty meters north of the lord's courtyard.

The fourth-order [Moon Blade Tower] has a range of 1,250 meters, which is enough to cover the entire inner city of the territory, and has a long range overflow in all directions. This arrangement can be regarded as a balance.

Then there are two Tier 4 [Giant Crossbow Towers].

[Giant Crossbow Tower] has a super long range and can also enter sniper mode. It is also placed in the middle of the east and west directions.

The remaining three Tier 4 [Holy Light Towers] are auxiliary defense towers, but for undead units they are also offensive defense towers, and the coverage of 500 meters is enough to cover the area of ​​200 to 300 meters inside and outside the territory.

Considering the depth around the territory, the defense pressure in the north is the least, because the north is the burial ground and the mountain forest, and the number of crypts there is relatively small, lacking the depth and terrain where the monsters gather.

The east, west, and south are relatively flat and vast directions, and large-scale monster groups are extremely prone to appear.

Therefore, Zong Shen determined that a Holy Light Tower was placed in the middle section of the south, and the remaining two [Holy Light Tower] were placed in the middle section of the east and west sides, just like the [Moon Blade Tower] and the [Giant Crossbow Tower].

Now there is the last characteristic defense tower left, which is a fourth-order [Necro tower].

[Necro tower] is very special, but there is no so-called effective range. Its effect is to summon various skeleton warriors/archers/mages at regular intervals.

However, if it is placed in the most stressful position, the skeleton warrior/archer/mage it summons will be able to join the battlefield faster, after all, summoned objects have a time limit.

This kind of special defense tower is not suitable for layout in the center of the territory, otherwise it will take a while for those summons to run from the territory to the outside of the territory.

Zong Shen thought about it carefully, thinking that the southwest is a dead end for his hunting, thinking that the density of monsters is likely to be higher, so he decided to arrange this fourth-order [Necro tower] in the southwest corner of the territory.

Anyway, this time is also a temporary arrangement. When the crypt challenge is over and the city planning begins, all the defense towers need to be relocated and planned to the designated location in one step, so now it doesn't matter whether it is messy or not.

After arranging the deployment positions of the eleven Tier 4 characteristic defensive towers, Zong Shen handed them over to Mariel. As a hero-level talent, Zong Shen has opened the [Build] permission to her, and the complete blueprint can be Builds automatically and takes very little time.

Mariel only needs to place the designated defense tower in the designated position. It has no technical content, and it is also an errand job.

After Zong Shen arranged the defense layout of the territory, he rode on Bajie again, left the territory from the north gate, and rushed towards the front line of the crypt.

The front line of the crypt lasted for 6 days, and now there is no need to maintain it. The benefit of dispersing troops is less than the benefit of shrinking defense, so Zong Shen plans to go to the front line of the crypt and notify Vereesa and the frontline battle team to return to defense.

At the same time, he and Vereesa had to relocate the front-line arrow tower and two Tier 3 city walls.

Even if the two third-level city walls are of little use, they can be moved to the periphery of the territory as shelters.

Going all the way, it was already more than 1:40 in the afternoon, and the crypt monsters along the way were still sparse, and the grand occasion of the crypt monsters walking everywhere was no longer the same.

As the Crypt Challenge comes to an end, it is almost impossible to recover from this reduction in the density of Crypt monsters.

Because, the sparseness of the crypt monsters around the territory was the result of Zong Shen and the others killing the surrounding crypt monsters for 6 consecutive days.

If you want to see the situation of the crypt monsters running all over the ground again, only when the final challenge opens, those crypt monsters will be specially attracted.

Zong Shen rode on Bajie all the way, and recalled the six days of the crypt challenge, and felt a little sighed.

In less than ten days after landing, the crypt challenge has already taken up 6 days, and many of the development habits of the lords have changed because of this.

After noon tomorrow, the Crypt Challenge will be completely over, and no one knows what the next challenge will be!
