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.

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 king’s flag at the head of the city, but ruthless slaughter.
The poor would then become dead.

At this time, Robb would not hesitate to stand on the side of humans, because he himself is a human being, and he would not treat monsters equally.
 

He turned to Madeleine and said, “miss Madeleine, go to the east gate right now, you’ll be too busy to care about the north gate.
You just have to move some of the 'mines' and' firecrackers' I invented last time to the north gate.
Let me deal with the monsters of the north gate with magic items.”

“What?” Madeleine was taken aback.
“No! That's impossible! The scouts reported that a large army of orcs was coming soon, as well as ogres and goblins, and even more powerful monsters.
They couldn't be guarded only by some magic item.
I'll go to report to Elizabeth and try my best to send more troops here.”

Robb nodded, “I think so too, but the orcs have never seen the new magic items before.
When they first see them, they will be shocked and too frightened to stop.
That is to say, they can hold the orcs to a certain extent only by the magic items.
I'm sure that they won't dare to attack the city for a few hours, so you don't have to dispatch too many troops here.
It wouldn’t be too late for you to deal with Mondra with all your strength before coming to the north gate.
“

Madeleine took a deep look at him.
After a few seconds, she nodded seriously, turned around and ran away.
In a flash, she disappeared at the corner of the street.

Robb climbed up the city wall and stood beside the guard of the north gate with a smile.
 

The soldier had already received the scout's report.
He knew that the monster army, was approaching, so he was very nervous.
Seeing that Robb ran to him and smiled embarrassedly at him, he had to return an awkward smile, but the smile was very bitter.

“Don't panic!” Robb smiled and said, “the main force of the monsters is still far away.
There are still more than 3000 yards left before they arrive.
At present, they have only arrived in some small groups.
They will not be a danger for the time being.”

More than 3000 yards was equivalent to a modern unit of length, which meant it was close to three kilometers.
It was really a long distance.
The city guard was temporarily relieved, but he was still uneasy.

After a while, a group of soldiers wearing black armor, led by a black earth knight, came.
Robb unexpectedly recognized this knight's face.
He was one of the several Black Knights who had besieged Russ in the alley last time.
It seemed that he was a capable subordinate of Madeleine.
He led about a thousand black armored soldiers here.

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, they’ll 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.
