Chapter 354 A brief confrontation, peace in the castle

Therefore, Crocodile Holly spent a whole hour to appease those slightly restless mercenaries and tried to boost their low morale through passionate words. After some efforts, his originally heavy mood finally relaxed a little...

At this time, the mercenary in charge of controlling the reconnaissance birds hurried over and reported: "Sir, the situation is not good! They have people crossing the river and delivering a large amount of supplies.

And at this moment, the church armed forces are conducting a carpet search of the surrounding civilian villages from house to house, apparently trying to collect more food to fill their granaries. "

Hearing this news, Crocodile Holly narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and asked: "Well, is that really the case? In your opinion, is it possible for us to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, disrupt their deployment and snatch some military rations back? After all, military rations are their biggest weakness at the moment."

However, the mercenary shook his head helplessly and replied, "Sir, I'm afraid this is absolutely impossible. You don't know that they have sent a large number of troops to guard the grain transportation channel. It can be said that the security is strict and leak-proof. With the limited manpower and strength we have now, we can't find any opportunity to break through the defense line.

Not only that, from what I've observed, they've also occupied several large manors. From all indications, it seems that these guys have no intention of leaving this place, but are preparing to set up camp here and form a long-term confrontation with our Sheldon Castle..."

After hearing this, Crocodile Holly not only did not show the slightest sign of panic, but grinned and said nonchalantly: "Hmph, let them be. Anyway, there is not even a grain of food left around our Sheldon Castle for these enemies. As for those valuables, let them take them. After I have fully recovered from my injuries, I will naturally come up with a countermeasure."

At this time, Tan Aili was in an elegant room, and the sunlight shone through the exquisite curtains onto her gorgeous clothes.

Seeing that the battle situation was under control, she enthusiastically gathered a group of maids after breakfast and prepared to play fashionable board games together.

She waved her arms gently, her eyes full of anticipation and excitement, and she opened her red lips softly, calling the maids to come closer.

Upon hearing the call, the maids quickly gathered around her, each with a happy smile on their face.

Tan Aili was calm and composed, dignified and elegant, yet playful and lively. She sat on a brocade-covered chair, slightly sideways, and carefully explained the rules of the game to the maids.

This dice-rolling game is full of unknowns and surprises, and is really fun. There are exquisite dice and exquisite scoreboards on the table, and the dice are shining charmingly under the sunlight.

Tan Aili was the first to pick up the dice and threw it lightly. The dice rolled happily on the table. Her eyes followed the rolling of the dice. When the dice stopped, she couldn't help but let out a silver bell-like laugh.

The maids around him applauded and cheered, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

She already had six maids around her, all of them young, beautiful and hardworking. Some of the maids wore light pink dresses, just like peach blossoms blooming in spring;

Some were dressed in light green clothes, just like the fresh lotus leaves in early summer. At this moment, these six maids just sat at one table.

One of the maids carefully picked up the dice, silently praying for a good number. When the dice stopped, she screamed with excitement, and the sisters around her also cheered.

Everyone was talking and joking with each other, and laughter echoed in the room.

For a moment, the whole room was filled with warmth and joy, as if the troubles in the outside world had nothing to do with them.

Among these many maids, there are two that are particularly outstanding, namely Tan Aili and Belt, who are being carefully cultivated by Tan Aili.

Monica is mainly responsible for various etiquette and some fighting games. She has very strict requirements for the rules of various etiquette, from walking, sitting, lying to talking and behaving, and she carefully guides everything; and those exciting fighting games can train people's reaction ability, body coordination and courage.

Belt is focused on exploring and cultivating her own musical talent. She spends a lot of time every day practicing instrumental performance, learning music theory, and trying to compose music in different styles.

It can be said that these two people are like Tan Aili’s close playmates, working together on talent-related work.

In fact, it was common for noble women to have maids who specialized in etiquette and musical talent. After all, as a noble woman, it was necessary to have outstanding talents and elegant manners.

It is worth mentioning that Berthe and Monica are not only talented, but also have enviable looks. They are both born with plump bodies, fair skin, beautiful faces and youthful beauty.

Because of this, they were treated better than other ordinary maids. On weekdays, they did not need to worry about tedious chores, but only needed to devote themselves to their respective areas of expertise, music and etiquette, and continue to study and improve.

At this moment, Jean Tocque and Grandpa Nick were in the castle's workshop filled with a fiery atmosphere. The two of them were concentrating on forging arrowheads that matched their bows, with only one goal - to maximize the power of the recurve bow in their hands!

Grandpa Nick looked at Jean Tocque with a sharp gaze and suggested, "Mr. Supervisor, we can't just be satisfied with the existing types of arrowheads. If we want to truly improve the lethality of the recurve bow, we have to design more arrowheads for different purposes to deal with various enemies." Jean Tocque nodded in understanding, and a series of ingenious ideas instantly emerged in his mind.

The first thing that catches your eye is the armor-piercing spike. This kind of arrow head is extremely sharp and is specially used to penetrate heavy armor; followed by the wolf tooth arrow, which is as sharp as a wolf tooth and will cause a huge wound once it hits the target; and the spiral silent arrow, whose unique spiral structure makes it silent when flying, making it difficult for the enemy to defend against it; the last one is the chisel head shield-breaking arrow, which is specially designed to break magic shields.

However, even though they already had such a variety of powerful arrowheads, Jean Toc knew that what they were doing was still insufficient in the face of those powerful Paladins and Holy Priests. Because these professionals often had excellent defense capabilities and healing methods, it was not easy to kill them with one strike.

For this purpose, a special magic alloy was selected to cast these arrowheads. This alloy is not only twice as hard as ordinary arrowheads, but also can withstand the infusion of fighting spirit.

When the archer injects his own fighting spirit into them and shoots them at the enemy, these arrowheads will burst out with amazing power, which is enough to seize the initiative and control the overall situation in the fierce battle!
