Chapter 721 Small Fortress
"Now let's talk about the orcs!"
Seeing that even Gust's eyes were shining, Gervis felt a little amused.
However, when giving them weapons, they will definitely be allowed to choose by themselves later, so we need to discuss the main business first, and there will be plenty of time afterwards.
And the first one is of course about orcs.
Olde had just found out about Dosalon's invasion with three thousand elite orcs. This was entirely Dosalon's own idea, and the Beast King was not involved for the time being.
However, the Beast King did not participate before. Now, more than 3,000 elite orc soldiers were surrounded and annihilated by himself and others, and even Dosalon was captured. The Beast King’s next move can be predicted.
Maybe he will retaliate at all costs, or maybe he will temporarily suppress this matter because the God's Fall is about to open, and just come to take back Dosalon and take action later.
But the problem is that Gervis has no intention of releasing Dosalon, and the orc prince is bringing his men to take revenge on him.
If he hadn't used his Warcraft minions to explore the way and quickly pass through the Dark Swamp, perhaps this gathering place would have been destroyed by Dosalon.
Even now, they have paid the price of hundreds of lives, and these are all loyal Silver Knights.
Therefore, Gervis planned to use Dosaron as a sacrifice when he would pay compensation to the fallen soldiers tomorrow, not only to comfort the dead souls, but also to better unite the hearts of the people in this gathering place.
"Prince Alder, you elves know the orcs best. Can you guess what the orcs will do next and how to deal with it?"
Gervis turned his attention to Alder, who was sitting at the end of the long table.
"This Dosaron is the prince of the orcs. If we kill him tomorrow, there is no doubt that the Beast King will be avenged by him!"
“But now is the time when the Land of Gods is reopened. Whenever the Land of Gods is reopened, there will be native descendants of the gods’ servants appearing inside. So if we want to enter the Land of Gods, we need to fight with them.”
"The population of the beastmen is comparable to that of the human race. Every time they compete with the human race in secret to seize more territory in the Land of Gods, because this is related to the pattern of the Land of Gods for the next thousand years."
"So I don't think the beastmen will invade the sacred forest in a large scale in the short term, especially the elite troops under the Beast King!"
"But as I just said, the beastman population is huge, and he is likely to send those lower races to harass and attack us constantly."
Olde did not hold back and immediately stated his guess in detail.
After speaking for a moment, Alder paused before continuing.
"Even though they are low-level orcs, they have natural racial advantages and they are numerous. If you ordinary humans encounter them, you will be in great danger!"
"So, from now on, we must always be on guard against orc invasions."
The low-level orcs that Older mentioned are actually pig-headed people, dog-headed people and the like.
Not only are they not as smart as the orcs, but even their racial talents are not as strong as those of the powerful orcs like the tauren.
Therefore, they are considered to be low-level beings within the beast tribe.
However, compared to the orcs themselves, they are considered inferior beings, but to humans, they are beings that can challenge humans across levels.
For example, ordinary pig-headed men can deal with low-level bronze knights, and pig-headed men with low-level bronze strength can often deal with mid-level or high-level bronze humans.
Considering the overall strength level of the gathering place of Gervis, if there were more than a thousand orcs, including a hundred orcs with bronze or silver strength, it would cause considerable trouble.
After all, Gervis couldn't stay here all day waiting for the orcs to come, and 90% of Gust and Hayden's subordinates were ordinary soldiers, and they would definitely suffer considerable losses if they faced the orcs.
The most important thing is that Stormwind City is just about to start construction. There is no defense outside the Sacred Forest, and the orcs' attack can easily pose a threat to those serfs and laborers.
"How about we build a wall outside first? There is a mountain range more than ten miles away from Stormwind City. There are only three gaps there. As long as we build a wall, we can stop those orcs!"
At this moment, Caroline spoke.
As the helmsman here, she is very familiar with the terrain here.
"No, even though there are only two gaps, each gap is at least five or six miles long! Even if it is an ordinary city wall of more than ten or twenty meters high, it will take at least half a year to complete. It is hard to say whether it will be useful by then!"
However, Olde rejected Caroline's proposal, saying that a twenty-meter-high wall would not be able to stop the powerful orcs.
If the Beast King has already withdrawn his men after the completion of the project, then the city wall will be a waste of effort! "What should we do? Should we ask my grandfather and Earl Hayden to garrison there?"
Caroline frowned slightly after hearing this. She was also worried that this would affect the construction of Stormwind City, so she was anxious to give advice.
Gervis listened to the two people's discussion but did not say anything immediately. He tapped the table with his fingers and fell into deep thought.
"Fortress Bastion!"
Suddenly, Gervis had an idea! "Fortress?"
Everyone present was stunned.
There are buildings like fortresses and fortresses in the Holy Continent. On the contrary, there are many of them.
However, those fortresses were built on rugged terrain and could accommodate at least several hundred or thousands of people.
However, each of the two gaps outside Stormwind City is five or six miles wide. How big a fortress would be needed to defend it? It would be better to build a city wall.
"That's right. We need to use fortresses to block the two gaps to prevent ordinary orcs from attacking. We only need to build a small fortress, which can be completed in basically a week!"
Gervis was smiling, full of confidence! "It can be completed in a week! Can such a small fortress be defended?"
Everyone still couldn't understand Gervis's thinking. How many people could live in a fortress that could be completed in a week? One hundred or two hundred? It was impossible to defend such a large area.
"sure!"
Gervis smiled confidently! What he had thought of earlier was indeed the design of Goblin Chachar, but it was just different in scale.
Gervis doesn't need too many people to garrison in the fortress, only a dozen people are needed to garrison each fortress.
As for whether such a small fortress can defend the entrance of several kilometers and face thousands of orcs?
There is no need to worry at all, because Gervis is planning to build at least dozens of such small fortresses.
At that time, these fortresses will be placed on the two gaps every few hundred meters, and a few small steel cannons will be mounted on these fortresses. No matter how many pig-headed people and dog-headed people come, they will all be ready to be eaten.
These fortresses are actually similar to watchtowers, with small construction workload and low cost, and can be completed in less than a week with a few thousand people.
"The fortress I plan to build is like this..."
At that moment, Gervis told everyone his detailed thoughts.
After hearing this, everyone pondered for a moment, and then looked at Gervis with surprise.
No one expected that Gervis could get along in such a way.
They have seen the power of the small cannons. If there are really more than ten or twenty turrets in a gap, then even if two thousand orcs come, there is no need to worry.
Even if some fish slip through the blockade of the fortress at that time, they can be quickly dealt with by sending a team of a hundred people, and they will definitely not pose a threat to the ordinary serfs of Stormwind City.
"Okay, let's just temporarily settle the matter with the orcs. I will go talk to the goblins in person later."
"Now let's talk about the second thing!"
"The Land of God's Fall is about to open. This time, Alice went to the City of Hope and successfully obtained a passage quota. One of the passage quotas is reserved for Stormwind City! Prince Olde, I would like to ask, where do you think this passage should be opened?"
At this time, the day when the Land of God's Fall is opened is approaching.
When Gervis left the City of Hope, Edward told him that when the ball of light changed from white to red, it meant that the Land of the Fallen Gods had been opened.
At that time, as long as we smash the ball of light hard into the ground, a passage will naturally be formed, leading to the place where the gods fell.
He also told Gervis that it would be best to open it on time half an hour after the red light changed, because the Holy Alliance would also open the channel at this time.
When the time comes, they will enter at the same time, so if there is danger they can deal with it together, and if there is no danger, they can quickly seize their own territory.
The external coordinates of the channel to the Land of God's Fall are fixed and cannot be changed, but the entrance to the channel connecting to the interior can be changed once, of course, this only lasts for thirty days.
If the position of the internal passage is not moved within thirty days, it will be permanently fixed there until the Land of the Fallen Gods is closed again a thousand years later.
The internal location can naturally only be determined after entering the Land of the Fallen Gods, but the external passage needs to be considered clearly now.
As a genuine elven prince, Olde believed that he had more experience in this area than Gervis, so he had to ask.
"The location where the channel is opened really requires great attention!"
Older looked at Gervis approvingly. Originally, even if Gervis didn't ask him, he would have explained it. But now that Gervis asked, he immediately started to explain! "First of all! This passage cannot be built in Stormwind City! Do you know why?"
Faced with Alder's question, everyone was still not able to react.
They also had contact with the elves, so they knew a lot about the Land of the Fallen Gods, but this was a problem they couldn't figure out for the time being.
The passage to the God's Falling Land is so important, right? It stands to reason that the protection should be as strict as possible, right?
For example, the space for the elf bugs must be placed inside the castle!
But this passage cannot be placed inside the city!
"Because it's dangerous!"
Suddenly, Gervis spoke!
"That's right, because not only can we enter the Land of the Fallen God, but the people inside can also come to the Holy Continent through the passage."
"Although the God's Falling Land is rich in resources and treasures, it is also very dangerous."
"Not to mention the catastrophe that happened more than two hundred years ago, the natives in the Land of Gods are sometimes very powerful. If we accidentally let them rush out of the Land of Gods, there will definitely be great losses if the passage is built in the city!"
"So this passage must be placed outside the city!"
Older continued to look at Gervis with approval, and found that Gervis was indeed capable of what he had achieved today.
Having said that, Alder paused before continuing.
"Of course, in order to facilitate entry and exit of this passage, it cannot be too far away from the city!"
"So, Gervis, I suggest you place the passage near this gathering place!"
"Originally, it should be placed farther away for safety reasons, but you just mentioned your small fortress. I think you can set up more fortresses and small cannons like that at the entrance of the passage!"
"If there is a small threat, we can deal with it. Of course, if it is a big threat, it won't make much difference if it is a few miles away!"
With this, Alder slowly finished his suggestion.
After listening to Olde's words, Gervis nodded silently. What his cheap father-in-law said did make sense.
It is necessary to set up a defense mechanism at the entrance, whether it is to defend against invaders from the Land of the Fallen Gods or to defend against outsiders breaking in.
"Then let's do as Prince Olde said and set this entrance at the edge of the gathering place!"
Gervis made the decision immediately!
"Oh, Prince Olde, I heard that the spiritual energy in the Land of God's Fall is chaotic and violent. If there is no sacred tree..."
"Gevis, don't worry about this. When the time comes, you will place the coordinates of the passage in our elf camp. The Tree of Life can soothe the spiritual energy within a five-kilometer radius!"
"Uh... Thank you, Alice! But I want to ask where to find the godhood of Prince Olde? Because I already have a holy tree seed!"
Gervis originally wanted to ask Olde whether it was easy to find the remaining divine power of God and where to look for it, but he did not expect that Alice, who had been sitting dignified and keeping aloof, would speak immediately.
Gervis was very touched by his cheap wife's thoughtfulness, but the five-kilometer range was actually very crowded for the elves with millions of people.
If I make some more space for myself and others, it will be even more crowded.
Gervis' idea was that it would be best if he could establish a base of his own.
Of course, if the godhead really could not be found, Gervis could only take advantage of his wife and wait until the remaining godhead was found to cultivate the holy tree.
"You actually have the sacred tree seeds?"
Alder was slightly surprised.
Although there is still a long way to go before owning the real holy tree, there is hope only with the holy tree seed.
You have to know that the Holy Alliance has kept the seeds of the Holy Tree tightly secret. Not to mention other races, even the human race itself would not be able to obtain this thing if it did not have great contributions and the recognition of the Holy Tree.
"Well, I was lucky at the beginning. The sacred tree in the Holy City of Heka gave me a seed!"
Gervis was calm and collected, and then he took out a green seed the size of a soybean from the space.
This seed is crystal clear and emits a bright green light. It looks more like a gem than a plant seed.
This is exactly what I got from Laqi's house. After getting it, Gervis has kept it in the space ring and never took it out! Thanks to "HEHUY" and "Xifeng Moli" for the reward! ! !
