Although Suhlen had lived in this world for more than ten years, he was still not used to the city environment. Apart from the nobles' district and the merchants' district, the sanitation in the other areas was too poor.
Now that he was developing his own territory, Suhlen naturally wouldn't let his city become like that.
"Boss, look, the signal!" Just as Suhlen was checking the progress of the construction of the territory, a barbarian warrior pointed to the northeast and shouted. Suhlen looked up and saw a cloud of black smoke in the distance.
Suhlen's eyes flashed as he leaped onto the city wall. After setting up the camp, Suhlen had already built a few beacon towers around the territory. These towers were simple in structure. They were made of mud and then turned into stone using Mud to Rock. There were some things to ignite the fire inside.
He had also arranged for people to stand guard on the towers. If they discovered an enemy invasion, they would light the beacon immediately to alert the territory and send a signal.
One beacon meant that there were about a hundred enemies. Two beacons meant that there were more than five hundred enemies. If there were three beacons, it meant that there were more than a thousand enemies. Suhlen stood on the walls of the camp. Two beacons were clearly visible in the distance. It was obvious that there were at least five hundred enemies this time.
Seeing this situation, Su Lun didn't delay and immediately ordered all the kobolds and goblins to be locked up in the fence in the camp. He didn't trust these slaves at all. What if these goblins and kobolds rebelled while he was leading people to fight the enemy?
As for killing them, what would happen to the construction of the territory? Therefore, he could only lock them up temporarily.
"Immediately tell everyone to return to the team. Also, tell the mercenaries to help defend!" Suhlen ordered directly.
"Yes, boss!" The barbarian warrior beside him immediately ran to pass on the order.
After the order was given, the camp immediately became busy. The kobolds and goblins were locked up in the fence, and the thirty-five barbarian warriors quickly gathered. After this period of battle, half of these barbarian warriors had become barbarian warriors. The leader, Johnson, had even advanced to become a giant axe berserker.
This team of barbarian soldiers was much stronger than when they first entered the wilderness. Just as the barbarians finished gathering, the mercenaries also hurried over.
"Master Suhlen, I think we should abandon this place and leave as soon as possible." As soon as he walked over, Zeon, the leader of the mercenaries, said impatiently, "Those Gnolls, Goblins, and Kobolds are still far away from us. If we leave now, we have a great chance of escaping."
Suhlen looked at Gene coldly until his voice became softer and softer. Finally, he stopped.
"Are you done?" Suhlen said coldly as he looked at the embarrassed Zeon. "If you are, then listen to me."
"This time, there will be no less than five hundred enemies, but the highest number will not exceed one thousand. This is a crisis, but also an opportunity. As long as we can defeat this batch of enemies, then we will have a long period of development in the future."
"Similarly, if you perform well in this battle, I will give him 20 mu of farmland after the construction of the territory is completed. If he makes enough contributions, I will bestow him the title of a knight." In order to deal with this crisis, Suhlen offered enough benefits. It was not easy to become a noble. Now, there was a shortcut in front of them.
Hearing Suhlen's promise, the low morale of the mercenaries instantly soared. They all rubbed their hands together, and their eyes were filled with eagerness. Suhlen was very satisfied with this situation.
To be honest, it was not impossible for Suhlen to deal with 500 to 600 Gnolls. It was mainly because the area of the camp was too big. With only 36 of them, they could not even line up a wall. The Gnolls could easily go around the wall and destroy the camp.
In this case, even if he killed all the Gnolls, it would be useless.
"Ta ta ta!" Just as Suhlen was mobilizing the mercenaries, a date red horse galloped in the direction of the camp. As it galloped, it shouted, "Military emergency!"
The surrounding people all dodged and let it pass.
"Suhlen Monseigneur! This is not good. There are 700 … 700 enemies this time. In addition to the Gnolls, Gnolls, and Kobolds, there are also a dozen Trolls! "The mercenary knight ran to Suhlen and agilely jumped off the horse.
"Thank you for your hard work. Go and rest." Suhlen smiled at him and said.
.....
"Take out the white bread and bacon. I remember there is some ale in the warehouse. Take it out this time as well." Suhlen said to the Barbarian Warrior behind him.
At this time, to boost morale, Suhlen had prepared a sumptuous meal.
"Yes, boss. I will take someone to take it out." The Barbarian Warrior behind him said respectfully.
"Also, take out the bacon and sausages. The fish must also be served today!" Suhlen ordered directly. In this world, apart from the nobles and merchants, everyone else basically had two meals a day. This time, because of the upcoming war, lunch was specially added.
"I want to see all the warriors and mercenaries eat meat this afternoon!"
"Yes, Monseigneur. I will prepare it immediately!" The chef was sweating profusely and said nervously.
The fish were cut open one by one. In the empty space in the middle of the camp, a dozen large pots were boiling hot water. The slaughtered fish were cut into pieces and then placed directly into the pot to cook. Pieces of bacon and sausages were thrown into the pots after being cut. Although the chef's skills were not very good, the enticing aroma still made people swallow their saliva uncontrollably.
The people did not have to wait for too long. The food was finally ready.
Suhlen picked up a bowl and filled it with delicious meat soup. He then took a piece of white bread and took a bite. Seeing that Suhlen was the first to eat, the mercenaries and Barbarians swarmed forward and took their share.
The meat soup was delicious. There were mushrooms, bacon, and ham in it. Suhlen found a rock and squatted on it to drink the soup. The Barbarian Warrior was also very quiet. He sat on the ground with a bowl of meat soup and a piece of white bread in one hand.
According to the previous reports, there were more than seven hundred enemies this time. Half of them were goblins and kobolds, about three to four hundred of them. The rest were gnolls and a dozen trolls.
Trolls were a powerful creature. They were far more powerful than gnolls. They were very strong and liked to use maces. However, their strongest point was their terrifying regenerative ability. Broken limbs could be regrown. Only magic, fire, or strong acid could truly kill them.
PS: There were some problems with the contract, so it was re-mailed. It will probably be fixed on Monday.
