Chapter 88 Take the Initiative

The expanded lumber camp is no longer the small lumber camp it used to be.

All trees within a 500-meter radius have been cut down.

Shrubs and weeds are also cleared to keep the surroundings clear, so that early warning can be given when enemies are spotted.

The moat connected to the river is three meters wide, which isolates the danger from the outside to the greatest extent.

The camp was surrounded by towering stone walls.

Thousands of kobolds collected stones and formed them into a tightly knit pile, reaching a height of 5 meters.

The top of the stone wall, which is nearly 4 meters wide, is enough to accommodate four rows of soldiers for defense.

Several stone stacks and blockhouses were set up on each side.

Heavy crossbows emerged from the shooting ports of the stone stacks. Under the control of the soldiers, they aimed at the woods hundreds of meters away.

The adventurers felt a lot more at ease when they saw such military weapons.

The troll's recovery ability is indeed strong, but these heavy crossbows are not vegetarian.

On eight watchtowers more than 10 meters high, more than 10 wanderers are keeping watch.

There is a well-protected stone house at the rear.

Reserve soldiers can be stationed inside to provide support at any time.

All kinds of defensive materials and equipment are stored and ready to be rotated, repaired, and replaced at any time.

Judging from the standards of a camp, with sufficient troops, it can withstand at least 2 to 3 times the enemy's frontal attack.

From the perspective of Arnold, a veteran, the tightness of its defense was even comparable to that of some military camp strongholds.

The soldiers who were gathering in the military camp lined up neatly and looked at Angela. This young commander was boosting morale:

"Are you satisfied with your current life?"

Sophisticated weapons, generous salaries, and the hope of a better life in the future were something they had never dared to imagine before!

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Satisfied!"

The deafening shouts echoed in the military camp, and the shocking spirit shocked the surrounding adventurers.

"Who brought us this kind of life?"

"It's the Lord!"

Angela looked solemn and shouted loudly:

"What should we do if someone wants to take away our lives and take us back to the past?"

The soldiers were suddenly awakened and couldn't help thinking about this problem in their minds.

return to the past?

Days when you don’t have enough to eat and your whole family goes hungry?

"no way!"

Captain Leon and Captain Sean looked at each other in tacit understanding and shouted at the top of their lungs:

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Other soldiers also reacted and shouted loudly:

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The shouts shook the sky, and the murderous intent reached the clouds!

The faces of the adventurers changed, and the birds around the camp took off and fled in panic.

Such a majestic army makes people feel goosebumps all over their bodies.

This is naturally not a temporary act, but more of a regular training.

Matthew is naturally very concerned about ideological education, because he has been fortunate enough to see an invincible team!

A team with faith!

As for now, the reason why Matthew wants to gather his troops is to fight out!

To take the initiative!

A fate value of "-3" represents a considerable degree of danger.

Matthew knew very well that this thing was like a sore. It would be painful to open it now, but if it was allowed to grow, it would be life-threatening!

Don't play with fate, be brave and smash it!

"There are 200 soldiers in formation, including 60 shield soldiers, 100 spearmen, and 40 archers, led by captains John and Sean."

"100 barbarian soldiers, led by Old John and Arnold."

"There are 40 scouts in total, led by Field."

"Twenty carriages follow."

"The whole army is in formation and ready to go!"

Angela's clear command sounded around, and the faces of the adventurers who heard this suddenly changed.

"Are you preparing to go to war?"

"Are they crazy?"

"Wouldn't it be better to guard the camp and wait for the trolls to attack?"

"what is this?"

"what should we do?"

They never expected that the soldiers of the Gulf Territory would have to fight the trolls in the field without guarding the camp.

This is so crazy!

Old John also had doubts when he heard Matthew's order, but when the latter pointed in the direction of Bay Village, the veteran thought it through completely.

The territory is now in a stage of rapid development, and it is precisely because the security issues have been resolved that Bay Village has been able to attract more and more people to join.

Once these trolls bypass the logging camp and launch an attack on the people who are almost defenseless, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the rapidly developing Bay Village.

Therefore, they must take the initiative!

And we must win!

Seeing these adventurers so helpless, Matthew had a faint smile on his face, turned to Butler Ralph and said softly:

"Go to the adventurer hall and issue a mission. In the next two days of battle, the adventurer team that kills and captures the most trolls will receive a bounty of 2,000 gold coins!"

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!

The reason why risk-takers show such concerns is because the risks they take are too great for the benefits!

As soon as the news spread, all the adventurers in the camp immediately became excited.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get ready for battle!"

"The Adventurer's Hall has lowered the price of blood-activating potions. Everyone, hurry up and buy them!"

"I need a mid-level warrior here. Currently, there are 4 mid-level professionals!"

"There are 30 people in our adventure team. We need 4 more good players. All the bounties will be divided equally!"

"Everyone come quickly and go out with the soldiers. Then we can kill some scattered trolls..."

"That makes sense. Wait for me first. I'll buy a few spell scrolls first..."

"Spell scrolls, you really spend a lot of money!"

"Stupid, haven't you seen it yet? This 2,000 gold coin bounty does not conflict with our usual task of capturing captive trolls!"

"Double harvest?"

"That's right..."

"..."

The heated discussion reached Matthew's ears. He was quite satisfied with the shrewdness of these adventurers.

"Sure enough, if you want the tool people to play more autonomously, you still have to come up with some surprises from time to time to keep them hanging!"

It has been almost two months since I came to this world. Matthew was also worried.

Can I change the fate of this land and people by relying on my own strength alone without the original hundreds of millions of players?

As he got to know the real world better, Matthew gradually put his original idea behind him.

He didn't have players, but he had more and more obedient adventurers!

As long as the money was in place, adventurers' enthusiasm for completing tasks was even much higher than that of players.

One was playing games, the other was risking their lives!

Moreover, compared with the uncertainty of players, adventurers were easier to grasp and control.

In particular, after Matthew gradually learned about the gains and treatment of adventurers in other places, he naturally had greater confidence.

"Everyone is risking their lives so hard, what's wrong with making more money?"

"As long as you take my money and do things for me, you are my good brothers!"

"Brothers, follow me!"

Under the hopeful gaze of countless adventurers, Matthew and Angela led the high-spirited soldiers out of the camp together.

The adventurers could no longer hold back and followed them one after another.

It's not that they want to take advantage, but they think it's rare to have such a good lord.

Well, we must protect his safety!

Otherwise, where can we make so much money?
