Glory Riding and Cutting

Leonard's meeting was still going on, and when Leon was also discussing the next phase of the plan in the newly acquired Hemar City, Mathias had already arrived at the pre-selected position to install the Observing Eye.

"Well, it's not bad here, the height is okay, and you can see the Sidon Fortress just in time. Although you can only see a part of it, it's enough for the time being. I'll just install one on the mountain over there later."

Rubbing his chin and muttering a few words, Mathias began to take out various tools and materials from his backpack.

"First, shaping!" Mathias chanted a spell to the boulder in front of him, then closed his eyes and put his right hand on the boulder. The boulder began to tremble violently, layers of outer skin peeled off, and finally formed a trapezoidal base.

Mathias opened his eyes, a faint blue magic light flashed once, and then he took a short breath, but it was much better than when he first came to this world. Although he didn't know why, Mathias could clearly He felt that the concentration of magic power in this world was slowly increasing, and it was not so difficult for him to cast spells now.

"Then, the next step is to engrave!" Mathias took out a sharp carving knife, and started turning around the stone base, engraving complex runes and circles of caution on the base.

"Phew, installation and activation are the last thing left!" Wiping the sweat from his forehead, engraving so many detailed runes is a physical effort. Fortunately, Mathias is not as weak as most mages. It is also the reason why mages need skilled assistants most of the time. A skilled assistant can definitely help mages solve many problems.

After taking a break, Mathias started the final homework, took out a special crystal ball the size of a human head, placed it in the semicircular groove left on the base, and then placed it in the grooves on all sides of the base. To act as the magic gem of the battery, and finally input a magic power to activate the magic circle.

"You're done!" Matthias took a few steps back, watching the crystal ball gradually emit light, then formed a beam of light and rushed upwards, and then formed a huge transparent vertical pupil at a height of about 200 meters.

This transparent vertical pupil was improved by Mathias. After all, the original golden eyeball is so conspicuous that it can be seen from a long distance. Although this transparent one can be seen nearby, but if you look at it from a distance , is invisible, and if you get closer, you can only see some twisted and fluctuated air, just like the twisted air of a heat wave on the road.

After setting up some magical traps on the ground near the Eye of Observation, Mathias left with the black warriors standing silently at the side, and he wanted to go around to the forest on the other side. Looking for a place to put it, after all Ronan's request is to be able to fully monitor Sidon Fortress.

Three days later, Ronan stood in Fengming's newly built large barracks and inspected the training of the soldiers, mainly for the new recruits. In the morning, the Nord warriors played the role of veteran instructors and taught some basic combat skills one-on-one. and martial arts, and then they will have half an hour of physical training.

Lunch is after the physical training. Ronan is not stingy about this. In order to make them stronger faster, there is basically meat in every meal, and there are specially prepared nutritious meals. Except for no alcohol, the rest are those common people Soldiers may only have the opportunity to eat once a month in their daily lives.

The newly recruited regiment, which has expanded to 3,000 people, can eat 100 pigs and countless rice noodles every day. If it weren't for the previous plundering of the southern nobles to obtain a lot of wealth, Fernando would still be a big grain producer. If Ronan is also provided with a large amount of food, Ronan may not be able to afford it.

After an hour of lunch break, the afternoon is the time for the bow and arrow lessons of the Vikia sharpshooters. There are also some soldiers specially selected by Ronan for the crossbowmen. The thousands of crossbows he prepared in the Hinterlands are now time It came in handy.

After the bow and arrow class, there is the formation class. Skillful application of various formations is also a great weapon to win the battlefield. The tortoise shell formation is used to defend against arrows, the hedgehog formation is used to defend against cavalry, and various conical formations are used to charge the formation. one of a kind.

There is a drill every three days. A group of 300 people is divided into ten groups, and the two groups practice against each other. The winning team will get extra meals and be allowed to drink a little wine.

Ronan also paid a lot of attention to the walls of Eagle's Cave City and Fengming City, which were most likely to be attacked. The bed crossbow and pendulum used to deal with the enemy's siege equipment were all built under the supervision of Bernhard himself. up.

Two days later, on this sunny morning on a sunny day, uninvited guests ushered in outside the Sidon Fortress, and the army of the Great Prince Leon had already arrived outside the Sidon Fortress.

Sidon Fortress is just a city wall built in the valley between two mountains. Because the mountains on both sides are very long and extremely tall and steep, the army cannot climb the mountains at all. In the 1990s, the lord who ruled this area built this city wall made of black rock that was 14 meters high, 8 meters thick, but less than 50 meters long.

Behind the Sidon Fortress, there was only a small stone house used to provide soldiers with a rest, which could not accommodate Leonard's entire army, so Leonard built a temporary building here to rest.

Because Sidon Fortress usually does not need so many defenders, it is only 50 meters long, and there is no room for a large army to spread out to attack. The number of soldiers who can attack the city wall together is limited, so the competition is more about the endurance and strength of the two sides. The sophistication of soldiers.

The wall of Sidon Fortress is very interesting, it is inclined, and there is a protruding piece in the middle, which adds more difficulty to attacking with ladders, so Leon, who knew this, spent a few days rushing to finish the work. A batch of siege ladders, otherwise, he would have arrived long ago, so how could he delay the time.

Leonard did not go up the city wall. Hebrew and Anthony were in command of the city wall, while Marcelo and Tibirio waited behind the city gate. Once the city wall could no longer support them, they would rush out with the cavalry Fan, retreated after relieving the pressure on the city wall.

The width also limits the advantage of Leon's army numbers, so after going out of the city to meet the attack, only a part of the people need to be paid to break the back. If the speed is fast, no one is even needed to break the back. Each one is one meter thick, very heavy, and there are three of them, and the distance between each one is a little more than one meter, so there is no possibility of the enemy taking the opportunity to use something to block the city gate.
