Chapter 128 Coping arrangements, ley lines construction

After Els accepted the order, he immediately went to arrange work tasks.

And Gooden also put down his quill, got up, went to change clothes and went out to find Old Joseph and Kroger.

At present, the purpose of the orcs is not clear, and it is necessary to make arrangements in advance to avoid hasty response when situations arise.

"According to the information sent by the investigation team, traces of orcs have been found in Qingyuan Ridge, and they are heading straight to Qingyuan Town."

Hearing this news, the expressions of the two became slightly dignified.

It's not good news for the orc troops to go straight to Qingyuan Town, and now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, it will take a day and a night to send someone to Jinyuan City to ask for help.

In terms of the rescue time difference, it is definitely too late to wait.

Kroger, who had served in the army, asked calmly.

"Master, how many orcs are there? How far is it from Qingyuan Town?"

"No less than 47 starts. It has not yet entered the warning area. The location of discovery is outside the warning area. According to the report, the location is around [-] kilometers northwest of the No. [-] investigation station."

Gu Deen didn't hide anything from the two of them, and simply recounted the content of the letter delivered back.

"This distance is still some distance from Qingyuan Town. Under the heavy snow, the orc team will not move too fast. We still have at least one day to prepare."

Then continue to arrange instructions.

"Don't announce the news about the orcs, wait for the troops to detect the opponent's intentions before making plans."

"But you should make corresponding preparations and stabilize the people. Recently, in Jinyuan City and other surrounding towns, bad rumors against me have been spreading everywhere."

"I'm worried that there are still some people with ulterior motives lurking here in Qingyuan Town, waiting to spread the word at this time. You should be prepared to track down. If necessary, you can contact Roy and seek his help."

"Understood." Kroger nodded, expressing his understanding.

"What about the mines outside?"

Facing Old Joseph's worries, Gooden explained.

"I have already asked Els to send people to notify the various mines, and asked them to gather personnel and make defensive preparations. Relying on the armed forces in the mines, it should not be a problem to resist the orcs' attack."

Seeing that the young master had already made arrangements, Old Joseph nodded and did not ask any more questions.

When he learned of the coming of the war, Gooden also considered the safety of the mine.

Therefore, bunker towers of different sizes were built in each mine, and soldiers with experience in using magic rifles were stationed there for a long time.

Once a dangerous situation occurs, the miners can be allowed to enter the gun tower and issue weapons for defense.

The number of weapons stored in different mines is also different. For example, the two mines of manganese ore and iron mine have a hundred second-generation magic rifles and more than [-] rounds of ammunition.

Relying on the simple operation of the magic rifle, it is no problem to make the miners a temporary combat force, and with experienced soldiers as leaders, it is not a problem to wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

The explanation work between the two was very fast, and some corresponding issues were quickly finalized and finalized, and the implementation began.

After completing the docking work with Old Joseph and Kroger, Gudeen went straight to the barracks to prepare for further arrangement and command work.

After receiving the order to prepare for battle, Ayers immediately put more than [-] soldiers stationed in Qingyuan Town on alert.

In Qingyuan Town, apart from the special team led by Hobert as an independent combat unit, there are two other teams in name, one is the Qingyuan combat readiness army and the other is the security training team.

The combat readiness army consisted of soldiers who were the first to join and meet the training graduation standards. There were a total of a hundred or so soldiers, and half of them were currently sent out to perform missions.

The other security training team, a total of 50 people, is composed of new recruits. They are training and performing security tasks at the same time. However, due to the shortage of manpower, [-] people are also deployed to perform tasks together with the combat readiness army.

At the command post in the barracks, Els and six officers were making preparations. When they saw Gudn's arrival, they saluted immediately.

"How is the assignment going?"

Walking to the sand table in Qingyuan Town, Gu Deen took a look and asked.

"The combat readiness order has been issued, and people have been sent to notify the mining area. Now we are preparing to assign reconnaissance defense areas and defense replacement tasks according to wartime."

As the leading officer, Els immediately responded to the young master's inquiry.

As a military unit, preparations for such emergencies are prepared in advance, and an order is issued, and the layout can be arranged directly according to the plan without too much research.

Gu Deen is also aware of this arrangement, Qingyuan Town's current defense must be no problem.

But what he wanted was to attack, to eliminate these threats directly outside Qingyuan Town, that would be the only way to be safe.

But the risk was too great, and he didn't know the movements of the orcs, so he had to come in person to make command arrangements.

"The distribution work has been slightly adjusted. All the members of the combat readiness army will be concentrated. Except for the necessary personnel who command the garrison, the tasks of others will be assigned by me."

"Understood." As a subordinate, Ayers did not ask about his intention to do so, and nodded directly to express his immediate request.

"In addition, the task of garrison does not need to be arranged by everyone. A part of the guard team will be assigned to patrol in a semicircle in the three directions of the Yongshuang Mountains. A group of ten people will search for No. 15, NO.25, and [-]. In the area where the three outposts are the baseline, you can arrange the number of people."

Quietly hiding in Qingyuan Town and waiting for the movement of the orcs, Gu Deen would not do that, and asked the guards to strengthen the patrol work in the outpost, so as to prevent the orcs from sneaking through this defense area under the cover of heavy snow.

After Gooden continued to arrange some detailed tasks, the seven people in the command post immediately went to arrange the tasks.

The place where the traces of the orcs were found is still there, and Gudeen still has to wait for a while. After completing the preparation tasks, he returns to the castle and continues to arrange his own affairs.

Regarding the dynamics of the orcs, it was useless for him to be anxious now. He could only wait quietly for the soldiers below to bring him useful news.

The abnormal mobilization of the army has also attracted the attention of many urban residents.

But it was just paying attention, and I didn't feel much panic or surprise.

After all, the security training team has similar drills and training work every day. The residents who have experienced a lot find it novel at first, but later they turn a blind eye to it.

It's just that they paid a little more attention to today's novel 'training', but they didn't show any other emotions.

In the evening, Gooden, who was having dinner, received Hobert's second secret letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, Gudeen frowned slightly.

Hobert's team has been tracking the movements of the orcs, and they have not stopped advancing for a day. Before entering the fifty-kilometer defense zone, the team was divided into two, and the direction of advance was also changed.

The large army was obviously the footprints of orcs, and they went straight to the direction of the mine iron mine.

Another group of human footprints of nearly a hundred people went all the way to the northeast, towards Xuegu Town, and someone did a special cleaning of the footprints, so it was impossible to continue tracking.

The division of the orc team made it difficult for Gudeen. The human team was obviously Gejill's team. Going to Xuegu Town, Gudeen didn't know what the other party wanted to do.

It's impossible to regain control of Xuegu Town, right?

Regardless of whether the empire can allow him to become the lord again, the current residents of Snow Valley Town alone may be the first to refuse.

Although it has only been a month and a half since he became the lord of Snow Valley, the residents of Snow Valley have all experienced the changes in Snow Valley Town.

All kinds of novelty things and low-priced salt and sugar, these things were things that they couldn't imagine before, but now they can afford to buy them.

As for the security issue of Xuegu Town, Gu Deen is not too worried. There is also a militia team of [-] people in Xuegu Town, and the members of the combat readiness army sent to guide and train.

With the help of the magic rifle, it shouldn't be a problem to defend Snow Valley Town. What worries him now is the orc team going to the manganese and iron mines.

If this orc team had come straight to Qingyuan Town, Gu Deen wouldn't have to be so troublesome.

But now the direction is going straight to the direction of the mine, which is not easy to handle.

Could it be that the other party wants to cut off the source of iron ore and limit his development speed?

This guess is not without basis. There have been frequent investigations by strangers around Qingyuan Town recently, although they were all successfully discovered and arrested.

But there are always fish that slip through the net. For these escaped personnel, they must have reported back the current situation in Qingyuan Town.

The other party probably also realized that the development speed of Qingyuan Town was too outrageous, so they planned to restrict it?
But Gooden always felt that something was wrong, and he seemed to have missed something.

After a quick bite of food, he left the restaurant and went to the study, where he spread out a map with Qingyuan Town as the center.

Looking along the line of sight, Gu Deen's gaze stayed on the elemental leyline between Qingyuan Town and the mine.

At this moment, Gu Deen suddenly realized something.

There are also spies around the mine to investigate. The orcs must have seen the power of magic weapons before, and they should not rashly attack such a place armed to the teeth.

As for the elemental leylines, as a wilderness, coupled with the help of shaman inscriptions, they can be revived and turned into undead to absorb the elements of the leylines to enhance their strength.

If the opponent occupies this place and establishes a frontline stronghold, for Qingyuan Town, that would be a hard nail to crack.

Thinking of this, Gudeen can determine the intention of this orc army.

Without hesitation, he immediately put on his coat and went to the barracks to prepare for the assignment.

"Assemble the combat readiness army and set off for Wuming Mountain. In addition, notify the second construction team to immediately gather personnel and prepare materials to go to Wuming Mountain to build fortifications."

Regarding the sudden order arrangement, the barracks immediately became busy. The fifty members of the combat readiness army were fully armed and ready to board the carriage and prepare to set off.

Now the mass production factory of the magic truck has just entered the final stage of equipment installation, and it is estimated that it will not be produced until three or four days at the earliest.

At present, the transportation task of the team can only fall on the carriage.

However, the transportation of construction materials still relies on the help of the first experimental version of the magic truck.

Under Gu Deen's deliberate arrangement, the mobilization speed in Qingyuan Town was very fast. Less than half an hour after the departure of the combat preparation army, the second team also set off immediately.

The personnel of the second team are the workers of the second construction team, as well as some materials that cannot be loaded in the magic truck.

At the same time, there is a guard escort to ensure the safety of night travel.

After completing the task arrangement, Gudeen did not return directly to the castle, but notified Old Joseph.

"The target of the orc troop should be the elemental leylines. After a whole day's forcible advance, the opponent is estimated to be stationed at night to rest."

"The elemental leylines are very important to the orcs. They cannot be easily handed over to the other party. In the evening, I will go to the elemental leylines in person to direct the construction work and strive to complete the fortifications before tomorrow morning."

"When I'm away, you will take over the management of Qingyuan Town. If you encounter irresistible matters, you can go to Anna and the others for help."

Hearing that the young master planned to go to the front line in person, Old Joseph still hesitated at first.

But seeing the young master's expression, he couldn't get out of his throat to dissuade him for some reason, and he could only nod his head in agreement after a long time.

Seeing Old Joseph's worry, Gudeen patted the other person's shoulder and said with a smile.

"You still don't know the strength of the combat preparation army? Coupled with my current situation, it's easy to deal with the orcs. It's just that time is urgent. I have to arrange the task myself, and I can return tomorrow morning."

Facing the young master's self-confidence, Old Joseph nodded in agreement.

After Gudeen explained some matters later, he set off directly with the third team.

Due to the extremely short time for the construction task, there is only one night to prepare, which is a huge problem for the labor problem.

Therefore, for the construction at night, Gu Deen directly selected three experienced personnel from the second construction team to come, and the total number of people reached 300.

As for the material issue, with the continuous shaft transportation of the magic truck, it is not a problem to ensure sufficient building materials.

After three hours of walking in the snow at night, Gudeen finally arrived near the elemental leyline.

The first construction workers who arrived have already begun planning the distribution of construction sites and laying explosives in preparation for the subsequent pouring of the foundation.

In addition, the soldiers of the Qingyuan combat readiness army set up temporary defensive positions on nearby hills and passes through the passes to protect the safety of the construction site.

According to the normal construction period, it will take some time for the cement to cool down after the foundation is laid.

But for the time when it is time to race against time, Gudeen can't afford to wait for this time, so he can only use 'external force' to help accelerate the cooling and hardening.

That's why he came here in person. After all, apart from Anna, Moss, and Helisa, he was the only one in Qingyuan Town who knew how to use magic.

With the help of magic, there should be no problem in completing the construction of the fortification in one night.
