Chapter 91 We have the tools now!
Li Mosi and his disciples kept a close watch.
They were relieved when the goblins returned with the water.
They stopped looking at the goblin reassembling the clips and frame, and the four of them sat down together again.
Li Mosi held up three fingers again: "We were just talking about how the logs weren't fast enough, the weapons weren't powerful enough, and we couldn't catch up with Longma."
The two disciples began to think again.
The saint spoke up: "Shall we raise the logs even higher?"
She had seen logs rolling down the city walls during war training.
Although those logs weren't that long, only about the height of a person when standing upright, their speed and power when they crashed down were enormous.
It can even break all four legs of the armored dragon horse after hitting it.
Even the dragon horse that had its leg broken was considered intact.
"That is indeed a solution."
Li Mosi looked at the saintess.
"But you'd better not say anything and let my disciples think."
Accumulating greater gravitational potential energy is indeed a solution.
But he's teaching right now!
Are you a student?
However, since the answer has already been revealed, Li Mosi can only count it for now.
Zi Yi thought of a solution: "Send more goblins to push? But the enemy already knows our numbers, so perhaps we should make a change?"
"Oh, right."
Upon hearing this, Zi'an scratched the bear ears on his head.
"I was thinking of making more weapons to compensate for the lack of firepower. But the enemy already knows how many of us there are, so they will definitely be on guard."
Li Mosi nodded: "That is indeed something we need to consider next. But since you've already thought of it, let me first talk about the problems we'll face next time."
He originally wanted to proceed step by step in stages.
But his disciple has progressed faster than he imagined, so it's time to discuss this in light of the actual situation.
He began by saying, "The enemy already knows our situation, and the situation we face from now on will only become more difficult."
"Think about it, one knight was defeated, and another knight brought back the news. What kind of enemy will we fight next?"
The two disciples and the saintess all began to think.
Li Moss gave a thumbs up: "The first possibility is that Baron Taliss didn't take action himself, but instead sent a knight with his orders to gather the troops."
"They might gather other knights and dozens of soldiers, but they will definitely add the remaining men from the slave-catching team."
"Because they offer rewards for killing goblins."
Zi Yi thought for a moment: "In this way, we will be facing more than three hundred enemies."
This is about the same size as the group before it was broken up.
He had a certain level of knowledge and calculated faster than Zi'an.
Li Moss nodded: "I think that's the most likely, because military service is also an obligation for knights."
He looked at the saintess as he said this.
This is not the original person's knowledge, but his understanding of the medieval period.
The saintess nodded: "You're right, it's a knight's duty. And this way, the baron doesn't have to do it himself, avoiding further losses."
Is that so?
Zi'an's mouth was slightly open as he absorbed the new knowledge.
My vassal's vassal is not my vassal.
Indeed, although the world has changed somewhat, it has not broken away from the feudal system.
Li Mosi felt a little relieved.
He held up his index finger: "The second possibility is that Baron Taliss himself led his soldiers, along with knights and their soldiers, plus the entire slave-catching team."
The two disciples and the saintess widened their eyes in surprise.
Is it getting even worse?!
Li Moss analyzed in detail: "If it were only the slave-catching team, perhaps they would just try to overwhelm us with the sheer number of slaves. But the nobles are better equipped."
"This team will bring a lot of bows, crossbows and other weapons and attack us from a distance. Although we can hide behind trees, we will not be able to fight back."
"Then, the slave-catching team will rush up and crush us."
The three people's expressions became serious as Li Mosi spoke.
They seemed to have already seen the horrific scene.
"I just think that's unlikely."
Li Mosi's words put the three of them at ease, and he continued to speak.
"Even if you kill us, Taris will not benefit, and he will still have to pay for the team's food and arrows."
"you're right."
The saint nodded in agreement with his opinion.
Even in the first scenario, they probably wouldn't bring too many bows and crossbows.
An immoral nobleman is naturally concerned with self-interest.
The slave-catching team also had to settle accounts.
It's not a big deal to leave these goblins outside the territory alive; on the contrary, taking action will come at a price.
When it's time to actually enter the forest, it's just a matter of kicking it away.
Ziyi and Zian nodded in agreement after hearing this.
They also felt that this was not profitable.
What do nobles want from them?
Moreover, my late master had said before that he would lead them away if anything happened.
"alright."
Li Mosi clapped his hands, signaling his two disciples to snap out of their reverie.
"Let's think about the first scenario first."
"In the first scenario..." Zi Yi said after a moment's thought, "then we'll definitely need to build a wooden wall on the south side of the cave and put logs on it. It should be at least the same as the preparations for this battle."
These are just the basics.
Zi'an nodded: "That's necessary. But if they know about our preparations, won't they start climbing the steep slope from even further away to fight us?"
She recalled the time she charged into battle.
Back then, because we didn't know our master's fighting methods, we would charge at goblins without thinking.
The knights this time are no exception.
Zi'an shared the same idea as Li Mosi.
He said, "That's right, we concealed our information in the previous battles. But this time, that knight will definitely take our battle methods back with him."
Our information advantage ends here!
Li Mosi opened the [Leshanshui] map again and looked at the surrounding terrain.
He said to his two disciples, "Look at the second platform on the high platform."
Zi Yi, Zi An, and the Holy Maiden both turned to look around.
The mountain to the west is a combination of steep slopes and cliffs on this side, with a second high platform every ten meters or so.
However, the mountain where the eastern tribe is located is a gentle slope, and the nearest second-level platform is more than 100 meters away!
Zi Yi pulled his head back: "Master, the platform to the west looks like we can put more logs on it, but isn't the east side too far?"
It's still not quite there.
Li Mosi said helplessly, "There are so many pine trees to the east, could we build another platform?"
Upon hearing this, the three people around him suddenly understood.
That's right!
They have the tools!
Li Moss then asked, "Will this be enough to defeat those humans? The knights will definitely lead a team of soldiers to supervise the battle. What if the slave-catching team is forced to charge in? What if the knights and guards really bring bows and crossbows?"
The three of them were stunned again.
The three of them stood there for a while before Zi'an anxiously asked, "Master, what should we do?"
Li Mosi glanced at the equally stunned saintess.
have to.
Hagi Saint was also led astray.
"In the first two battles, we used the terrain to our advantage and damaged the enemy with rolling logs, which can be set on fire."
Li Mosi said something that none of the three people around her understood.
"But I need to see if the conditions are right first... A goblin is coming."
As Li Mosi spoke, the three people around her turned around to look.
A goblin with a slightly charred hem approached and spoke.
"Chief, dinner is ready."
