The first day of the second month of the first year of Gaia, yin. Good for prayer, migration, avoid traveling, and erecting books. ≧
At dawn, three members of the cavalry left the barracks and went straight to the sentry tower outside the village. The construction division had built three sentry towers in the territory, with each tower two kilometers apart.
Due to the limited manpower, each tower had a soldier stationed there. Their mission was to keep an eye on the beasts' movements and alert the camp with smoke signals.
At the same time, the first, third, and fifth fire of the crossbowmen left from the west gate under Lin Yi's command, heading for the primary mining area in the south. The mining area was located at the edge of the forest on the west side, only three hundred meters away from the forest.
According to the terrain of Shanhai Village, the south side of the village was at the foot of the rocky mountain range. There wouldn't be any beasts there. Not far from the east was a wide river and canyon. There would only be a few beasts there, nothing to worry about.
As a result, the beasts would mainly appear in the forest on the west side and the wilderness on the north side. Among them, the forest on the west side was the focus of the defense. There were many beasts living in the forest. It was also the militia's main training ground.
According to the terrain, Ouyang Shuo commanded the second fire to guard the north gate, while Shi Wansui commanded the fourth fire to guard the west gate. As for the east gate, Ouyang Shuo entrusted Lin Yi's big brother, an advanced fighter, Lin Yue, with twenty villagers who had learned martial arts from the dojo.
In order to strengthen the defense of the west gate, the construction division built two arrow towers on both sides of the west gate. The most important one, the Fierce Fire Matrix, was placed in the empty space in front of the west gate.
The entire matrix was a square with a length of one hundred meters. The four sides of the square were dug into a two meter wide and two meter deep trench. The trench was filled with diluted Fierce Fire Oil, covered with wooden planks, and covered with hay. On the surface, there was no trace of the Fierce Fire Matrix.
The rest of the Fierce Fire Oil was placed in the empty space in front of the north gate. Because the north gate adopted a passive defense strategy, there was only a two hundred meter long trench. It was also filled with diluted Fierce Fire Oil, covered with wooden planks, and covered with hay.
Other than the members of the crossbowmen, no one in the village went out. The ferry, shipyard, docks, Northern Twilight Salt Works, logging yards, quarries, and mines outside the village had all stopped operating. This time, the monster attack was aimed at the village itself. These wild beasts were determined to destroy all the villages built in the wilderness. As for the properties outside the village, they didn't care.
According to Gu Xiuwen's previous suggestion, Ouyang Shuo had formed two large militia reserve teams. All the members of the militia reserve team had gone through the assault training of the crossbow cavalry team, and all of them were proficient in throwing javelins.
The Militia Reserve Team 1 consisted of a total of 120 people. The Director-General of the Department of Land Reclamation, Zhao Dexian, was the temporary captain, while the Quarry Manager, Zheng Shanpao, was the temporary vice-captain. Stationed at the west gate, responsible for the defense of the west side. The Second Militia Reserve Team had a total of one hundred people. The temporary captain was Zhao Dewang, the Deputy Director of the Construction Division, and Yuan Shaoping, the head of the mining field, was the temporary deputy captain. They were stationed at the north gate and were responsible for the defense of the north side.
The rest of the people, with the exception of the old, weak, women, and children, were all assigned to the wartime logistics department. There were nearly two hundred people in the entire wartime Logistics Department. Cui Yingyou, the director of the Department of Supplies and Reserves, was the temporary director.
The Logistics Department was divided into four groups. They were the medical rescue group, led by the senior doctor, Dr. Song, and led by his four apprentices and 20 women, who were responsible for the treatment of the wounded. The material transportation group had a total of 60 people, led by Zhao Youfang, the head of the lumber yard, who was responsible for the transportation of javelins and arrows. The collection group had a total of 80 people, led by the senior tailor, Mu Qingsi, who was responsible for the collection of wild beast carcasses and fur. The cooking group had 20 people, led by the senior chef, Gu Sanniang, who was responsible for the provision of food and drinking water.
In this way, the manpower of the Shanhai Village was used to its fullest. In Ouyang Shuo's mind, the key to war was organization and logistics. Only by establishing a perfect and efficient organization and leadership system, coupled with a scientific and reasonable logistics system, would they be able to win the war.
At half past seven in the morning, all the villagers of the Shanhai Village had finished their breakfast and rushed to their respective posts under the leadership of their respective captains.
Ouyang Shuo stood on the arrow tower on the left side of the north gate. Beside him stood the second squad leader of the cavalry team, Buttface.
"Sir, when will the beast horde appear?" Buttface asked.
"Soon. In at most half an hour, they will appear at the edge of the territory."
At eight o 'clock sharp, a series of system announcements rang out!
"World Announcement: Mandatory Global Territory Defense Mission: Monster Siege, officially begins! The regional ranking, national ranking, and world ranking, these three ranking lists will be opened at the same time. I wish all the lords victory! "
"World Announcement: Mandatory Global Territory Defense Mission: Monster Siege, officially begins! The regional ranking, national ranking, and world ranking, these three ranking lists will be opened at the same time. I wish all the lords victory! "
"World Announcement: Mandatory Global Territory Defense Mission: Monster Siege, officially begins! The regional ranking, national ranking, and world ranking, these three ranking lists will be opened at the same time. I wish all the lords victory! "
In less than a minute, billowing smoke rose from the sentry tower in the distance.
At the edge of the territory that Ouyang Shuo could not see, thousands of wild dogs, led by the wild dog king, rushed out of the forest and charged toward the Shanhai Village.
Wild dogs were Level 3 wild beasts and were one of the most numerous wild beasts in the wilderness. Elite wild dogs would level up to Level 5, while the wild dog king would be a Level 8 Boss.
The ferocious wild dogs had just stepped into the Shanhai Village's territory when they were met with a head-on attack. Countless invisible traps were stepped on by the rash wild dogs. Each trap pit was three meters long, one meter wide, and three meters deep. The bottom of the pit was filled with sharp wooden wedges. The dense formation caused the wild dogs to suffer greatly. Often, one trap pit could bury four to five wild dogs.
From the edge of the territory to the village, the wild dogs' journey was simply a history of blood and tears. They used their flesh and blood to fill up the traps they encountered along the way.
When they finally saw the Shanhai Village's gate, less than half of the nearly 2,000 wild dogs were left. Fortunately, not a single stray dog thought of running away along the way. From this, it could be seen how deep their resentment toward the human lords was.
Four hundred meters away from the Shanhai Village, the surviving wild dogs split into two groups, pouncing toward the north gate and the west gate respectively. As Ouyang Shuo expected, the main force of the wild dogs, led by the wild dog king, pounced toward the west gate. The remaining 300 wild dogs, led by the elite wild dogs, took a detour and pounced toward the north gate.
Under the fence of the north gate, the members of the second militia reserve team, led by Zhao Dewang, stood in a line, waiting for the order to attack. There was a pile of javelins at the feet of each team member.
Ouyang Shuo stood on the archer tower, watching the wild dogs slowly approaching. When the wild dogs were only 150 meters away from the fence, he didn't hesitate to draw his bow and shoot an elite wild dog. His action was the order. The members of the cavalry team on the archer towers on both sides drew their bows and arrows, aimed at the elite wild dog, and shot a round of arrows.
After a round of shooting, almost all of the elite wild dogs were injured. After Ouyang Shuo shot the first arrow, he didn't shoot anymore. Instead, he stared closely at the wild dogs, calculating their distance.
When the wild dogs were only 60 meters away from the fence, he didn't hesitate to wave the flag in his hand. Zhao Dewang, who was below, kept staring at Ouyang Shuo. When he saw him wave the flag, he immediately turned around and shouted, "Throw!"
The team members immediately threw the javelins in their hands forward without hesitation. After throwing the first javelin, they immediately turned around and picked up the second javelin from the ground, and threw it again without hesitation. They threw the javelins repeatedly. Within a short distance of 60 meters, the wild dogs were attacked by three rounds of javelins, and almost all of them were dead or injured.
At this time, the cavalry of the Second Fire, led by Buttface, rushed out of the north gate on horseback, and killed the surviving wild dogs. In less than 10 minutes, the wild dogs in the north were completely wiped out.
At this time, Ouyang Shuo heard a series of system announcements.
"Region Announcement: Xiaogang Village in Liuzhou district failed to resist the attack of the wild beasts, removed from China!"
…
"Region Announcement: Fugui Village in Lianzhou district failed to resist the attack of the wild beasts, removed from China!"
…
"Region Announcement: Greenwater Village in Guilin district failed to resist the attack of the wild beasts, removed from China!"
…
This was only the first wave of the wild beasts, but many villages could not resist it. They were attacked by the wild beasts, and their territories were removed from the list. After these players were resurrected, they could only choose to continue their gaming career in the individual adventure mode. They had no chance to play the overlord mode anymore.
He didn't have time to lament the fate of others. Ouyang Shuo ordered the logistics department to collect the wild dog corpses as soon as possible and retrieve as many javelins as possible. After that, he went to the west gate alone to check on the situation there.
By the time he reached the west gate, the battle here was already coming to an end. There were nearly 700 wild dogs that attacked the west gate, and they were eliminated so quickly mainly because of the cavalry that was lying in ambush in the mining area.
After they received the signal from the sentry tower, they waited until the wild dogs were about to surround the west gate. Suddenly, a team of thirty cavalry charged out from behind the wild dogs, with Lin Yi as the leader, and surrounded the wild dogs. With the cooperation from the inside and outside, they finally eliminated the wild dogs.
The wild dog king was killed by Shi Wansui, and it dropped a small booklet. Ouyang Shuo took it from Shi Wansui, and it was a book called "Colored Silkworm Breeding Technique Manual". It was a good thing, but he didn't have the mulberry leaves, and he didn't have the silkworm's silkworm eggs, so he couldn't use it in a short period of time.
After this wave of attack, Ouyang Shuo leveled up to level 22, and it was like he was riding a rocket. It must be known that after reaching Level 20, it was even more difficult to level up.
Seeing that the west gate was intact, Ouyang Shuo was relieved. After leaving the west gate, he went to the east gate. There were only thirty wild dogs attacking the east gate, and Lin Yue naturally didn't feel any pressure, and he dealt with them easily.
After inspecting the east and west gates, Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to delay and immediately returned to the north gate. According to his prediction, the second wave of the wild beasts was coming soon.
