Chapter 383: Use magic items to resist the monsters
Madeleine frowned and felt very embarrassed. At this time, the battle at the east gate of the city had begun. Just now, on the hillside, she saw big fireballs flying in the sky. Now, after entering the city, she could see them more clearly. Fireballs could be seen everywhere above her head. In the eastern sky, there were a group of griffin and manticore knights fighting in midair.
Of course, Bright Road was a large city, which covered a vast area. Although the battle was fierce at the east gate, the impact on the north gate was not very great. At least, she didn't need to worry that a burning stone would suddenly hit her head.
At present, the garrison at the north gate of the city and the people who were still active in the city were very relaxed. They didn't know that a huge group of monsters was approaching, and there was no nervous expression on the faces of the people on the streets. Many people didn't even go home, but chatted on the street, expressing optimistic opinions about the war at the east gate.
In their opinion, Mondra was definitely unable to attack Bright Road. Of course, even if it was really captured, the unlucky ones were the nobles. For ordinary people, it was just a change of their flag as the head of the city. Even if the king was replaced, the people's life would not change at all.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
The poor will still be poor, and you won't become powerful just because you change leaders.
Robb also had the same opinion. He didn't care about it. In the eyes of people from the modern worlds like him, this fight for the throne was nonsense.
There was no justice or evil in the battle at the east city gate. It was just a game between two political forces. He didn't want to put his own strength into that kind of battlefield.
However, the monsters were different!
Their attack on humans could not be attributed to political struggle, but to the war of survival between different races. Once they broke through Bright Road, the people would not face the change of the kings flag at the head of the city, but ruthless slaughter. The poor would then become dead.
He also brought more than a dozen large cars, each of which was filled with magic items. The small ones were "mines", and the large ones were "firecrackers", piled up neatly on the cars.
As soon as the Black Earth Knight saw Robb, he waved his hand and shouted, "Mr. Robb, at the order of the queen and Duke Madeleine, I come to the north gate of the city to set up defense against the monster army. The duke said that you have an idea of how to resist them, please try your best to implement it. I will try my best to support you."
The Black Earth Knight's title was not low, but a "count". He had just been appointed by the queen as the General Commander of defense at the north gate of the city, but this person belonged to the Black Earth Knights and often worked with Madeleine. He was very clear about the relationship between Robb and his boss, so the general commander immediately showed his attitude. "I support you!"
Smart!
Without any hesitation, Robb turned around and shouted at his soldiers, "pick up the magic items..."
First of all, they placed many of the firecrackers or rocket launchers at the top of the city gate, with the mouths of the boxes facing the city. The ancient people were intelligent. Robb only taught them how to make the boxes, but they were inspired by their own thoughts. They also made a base under the boxes, so that the firecrackers could rotate in a small range.
As for the "mines", it was more interesting. Robb found that these ancient people were extremely smart. Because the "trigger" mechanism was very easy to make the "mines" explode accidentally when a soldier carried it, the royal experts deliberately stuck a piece of parchment on the "trigger Rune", on which a rune was drawn to make the rune ineffective.
To put it bluntly, there was a insurance added to the "mines". If the paper was not torn up, the "mine" would not be triggered. When it was necessary to use it, theyll tear the paper and everything would be ready.
"You are such a smart expert on magic items. I really admire you,"
Robb gave them a thumbs up and then took a group of soldiers to open the city gate and head out. The monsters hadn't arrived yet, so it was still safe outside the city for the time being. He looked up at the firecrackers at the top of the city gate and estimated their shooting range. Then he led a large group of soldiers who were buried in mines to drill into the nearby hillside, dig, bury, and draw the trigger runes again.
