Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 111 Preparations before the war

Chapter 111 Preparations before the war
A few people came out and found that the soldiers under their hands were stringing the green fir bows nervously. Their longbows must be unstringed when they are not in use. This is to prevent their power from becoming weak or even scrapped.At the same time, the soldiers pulled out the arrows they brought from the quiver and inserted them in neat rows on the ground, so that they could pick up and shoot from the ground at any time.

But those supporting actors with surnames are not very nervous. Chef Cook is holding an iron rod and trying to stir the cauldron. Inside is the wild vegetable soup he prepared, and there are piles of 'stone' bread and bacon on the side. These were breakfast and lunch, and if the enemy did not arrive on time, they would have nothing to eat for the evening.

"By the way," Robert remembered one more thing. "A buddy got up last night and accidentally got stuck in the swamp. We took a lot of effort to fish him out."

It dawned on Stannis that last night's riot was about this matter, but soon he was interested in another matter.

"Swamp? Where?"

Robert pointed to the large black mud filled with black water in front of him, "No, that's right there."

Stannis thought it was a pond accumulated in rainy days. He walked quickly and found that it was indeed a bubbling swamp, and the water on it was only covered with a thin layer, which was not so eye-catching.

A bold idea appeared in his mind, and soon he summoned the staff, "How about we use a large swamp to trap the enemy?"

"That's a good idea." Batesmore nodded in agreement. A bunch of enemies stuck in the swamp just happened to be convenient for him to harvest heads.

However, the experienced mercenary captain immediately pointed out the shortcomings, "Although it is possible, but as long as the few people in the front of the enemy army fall into the swamp, the people behind will find out in time, and it will not produce the expected effect."

"Yes." Stannis felt that his thinking was too simple.

But his engineer Speer gave another suggestion, "Make a raft and spread it on it, which can slow down the sinking speed."

"Ha, what you said is exactly what I thought!" Although he hadn't thought of such a wonderful idea at all, as the lord, he still had to pretend to be ahead of the enemy.

But everyone saw his thoughts and gave him a blank look.

The thick-skinned Stannis didn't mind, and then he turned around and ordered, "You guys, quickly build me a dozen light rafts and lay them on the swamp, and then face dead leaves and weeds on them, so that people You can't feel it when you step on it."

Following his order, everyone began to work in their respective divisions of labor. Thanks to the materials given by the forest behind him and Speer's design, after several hours of hard work, more than a dozen single-layer rafts were manufactured and placed one by one. Laying on the swamp, with the dead leaves covered and the weeds cut into bundles and spread on it, it is impossible to tell from the outside that there is a dark swamp hidden underneath.

Stannis clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Okay, everything is ready now, just waiting for those bandits to come to the door."

At this time, a hurried figure on a horse appeared from a distance. It was Kanye, the scout sent by Stannis last night.

"They are here."

Kanye got off his horse, and from the plant soil hanging on his body, it can be seen that he has been lurking in the fallen leaves for a long time.

Stannis rushed to meet him, "How far is it?"

"It'll be there soon." Kanye still didn't change his face.

"..." Stannis arranged for him to be a sentry tower, not just to know this little bit in advance.

Kanye also saw his dissatisfaction but still said lightly: "I stared at it all night and accidentally fell asleep."

The image of this black ranger who had always been serious and stable collapsed in his heart, but he couldn't control it anymore, since the enemy could arrive at any time, he should also sit down and prepare.

The lord turned around and raised his hands and shouted, "Everyone get ready!"

The soldiers immediately got up from where they were sitting and ran to the prepared positions. Stannis had already set up a ruler on the grass in front to let them know the shooting distance.

"In order to make up for your mistake, do you want to make a move this time?" He still didn't give up letting his archer coach make a move.

But Kanye still shook his head with a smile.

Stannis had no choice but to turn to Batesmore, "What about you, cup cat, do you have any scruples about not killing people?"

The mercenary captain slowly pulled out his sword. He seemed to be looking forward to the feast of killing, "As long as the price is enough, one gold coin per head."

His few words sent a chill down Stannis' back, and the guy looked like he was going to bankrupt himself.

For this battle, Stannis has lined up an all-star lineup, which can be said to be mobilized, even those who shouldn't come, Stannis glanced at the people with names and surnames standing behind him, feeling proud Soaring, they are:
Hannibal Cook, a super chef and culinary master, the only designated booth of 'Lord Rest assured Fast Food', the creator of cabbage soup and black bread.

Kanye Westblanco, the former garrison captain of Silverfall, the legendary ranger known as 'Hawkeye', and the current archer instructor.

Mercenary captain, black-armored swordsman (although the other side doesn't admit it), the current infantry instructor - Frank Batesmore.

Martyr of Light, senior monk of the Holy Hermitage, and the current Chief Physician - Romney Hippocrates.

An engineer and craftsman from the Principality of Sakonia - Bellamy von Commodus Speer.

The regular winner of knight duels, the guard knight of the Stani family, the bartender and chief performer of the 'Chen's Entertainment Club', the captain of the knight - Korodov.

Honorary professor of the Academy City, the person in charge of history and wisdom, the manager of the mill, and the chief bachelor - Romon.

and Robert.

And Stannis.

After the introduction of all the characters, everyone waited for the arrival of the enemy.

"That..." Robert still had some thoughts, "Can you add a prefix when introducing me in the future? Otherwise, it would be too shabby..."

"Robert the Clown," Stannis blurted out.

"……forget it……"

A few minutes later, the first white shadow appeared on the withered and yellow grassland, and then more and more white shadows were added, layer upon layer, approaching here quickly.

When Stannis was able to see clearly, he realized that these were all people in white fur. Judging from the strange and messy weapons on their backs, these people were the bandits he had been waiting for for a long time.

"These guys are quite rich, and they can afford ermine." Stannis felt that banditry was not a career without a future.

And the gang of bandits also saw them. Since there were no horses, this group of strong men could only run to the direction of 500 meters in front of them and stop on two legs.

The breeze blows across the grassland, and the battle is about to begin.
