At the command post in the military camp, Els and six officers were making preparations. When they saw Gudern's arrival, they immediately saluted.

"How is the mission arrangement going?"

Walking to the sand table in Qingyuan Town, Gudern took a look and asked.

"The combat readiness order has been issued, and people have been sent to notify the mining area. We are now preparing to allocate reconnaissance defense areas and defense replacement tasks according to wartime."

As the leading officer, Els immediately responded to the young master's inquiry.

As a military unit, such emergencies are prepared in advance. Once an order is issued, it can be arranged according to the plan without too much research.

Gudern is also aware of this arrangement, and Qingyuan Town's current defense must be no problem.

But what he wants is to attack and eliminate these threats directly outside Qingyuan Town, so that it is safe.

However, the risk was too great, and since he didn't know the movements of the orcs, he had to come in person to make the command arrangements.

"The distribution work has been slightly adjusted to gather all the members of the combat readiness force. Except for the necessary personnel who command the garrison force, I will assign tasks to others."

"Understood." As a subordinate, Els did not ask about his intention to do this, but nodded directly to express his immediate acceptance.

"In addition, the garrison task does not need to be arranged for everyone. A part of the guard team is assigned to conduct semicircular security patrols in three directions of the Yongshuang Mountains. In groups of ten, the search range reaches No. 5, No. 15, and No. 2 In the area where the three outposts on the 15th are the baseline, you can arrange the number of people."

Gudern would not quietly hide in Qingyuan Town and wait for the movements of the orcs. He asked the security team to strengthen patrols within the outpost to prevent the orcs from sneaking through the defense area under the cover of heavy snow.

After Gudern continued to arrange some detailed tasks, the seven people in the command post immediately went to arrange the tasks.

The location where the orc traces were found was still there, and Gudern still had some time to wait. After completing the preparation tasks, he returned to the castle to continue arranging his own affairs.

Regarding the dynamics of the orcs, there was no point in being anxious now. He could only wait quietly to see if the soldiers below could bring him any useful news.

The unusual mobilization of the army has also attracted the attention of many urban residents.

But I just paid attention and didn't feel much panic or surprise.

After all, the police training team conducts similar drills and training every day. Residents who have experienced it a lot may find it novel at first, but later they will turn a blind eye to it.

It was just that today's novel 'training' made them pay a little more attention, but they did not show any other emotions.

In the evening, while dining, Gooden received Hobert's second secret letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, Gudern frowned slightly.

The Hobert team has been tracking the movements of the orcs. They have been moving forward without stopping for a day. Before entering the fifty-kilometer defense zone, the team split into two and the direction of their advance also changed.

The large army obviously had the footprints of the orcs, heading straight towards the iron ore mine.

Another group of nearly a hundred human footprints went all the way to the northeast, towards Snow Valley Town, and someone was cleaning the footprints specifically, making it impossible to continue tracking them.

The division of the orc team made it a little difficult for Gudern. The human team was obviously Gejir's team and headed for Snow Valley Town. Gudn didn't know what the other party wanted to do.

It can’t be that he wants to regain control of Snow Valley Town, right?

Not to mention whether the empire can allow him to become a lord again, the current residents of Snow Valley Town alone may be the first to refuse.

Although Gudern has only been the lord of Snow Valley for a month and a half, the residents of Snow Valley have experienced the changes in Snow Valley town firsthand.

All kinds of novelty things and low-priced salt and sugar, these things were things they had never dared to think about, but now they can actually afford them.

As for the security issues in Snow Valley Town, Gooden is not too worried. There is also a militia team of 100 people in Snow Valley Town, which is guided and trained by members of the combat readiness army dispatched.

With the help of magic rifles, defending Snow Valley Town should not be a problem. What worries him now is the orc team heading to the manganese and iron mines.

If this orc team was heading straight for Qingyuan Town, Gudern wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

But now the direction is heading straight towards the mine, which is not easy to handle.

Is it possible that the other party wants to cut off the source of iron ore and limit his development speed?

This speculation is not unfounded. There have been frequent investigations by strangers around Qingyuan Town recently, although they were all successfully discovered and arrested.

But there are always fish that slip through the net. Those who escaped must have reported back the current situation in Qingyuan Town.

The other party probably realized that the development speed of Qingyuan Town was too outrageous, and planned to impose restrictions?

But Gudern always felt that something was wrong, that he seemed to be missing something.

After hurriedly grabbing a few bites of food, he left the restaurant and went to the study, where he spread out a map centered on Qingyuan Town.

Following his gaze, Gudern's eyes rested on the elemental veins between Qingyuan Town and the mine.

At this moment, Gudern suddenly realized something.

There are also spies around the mine for investigation. The orcs must have seen the power of magic weapons, and they should not rashly attack such a place that is armed to the teeth.

As for the elemental leyline, as a wilderness, and with the help of shaman inscriptions, it can resurrect the dead and turn into undead to absorb the leyline elements to increase its strength.

If the opponent occupies this place and establishes a frontline stronghold, it will be a hard nail to bite into for Qingyuan Town.

Thinking of this, Gudern was able to determine the intentions of this orc force.

Without hesitation, he immediately put on his coat and went to the military camp to prepare for the mission.

"Assemble the combat readiness troops and set off for Wuming Mountain. Also notify the second construction team to immediately gather personnel and prepare materials to go to Wuming Mountain to build fortifications."

Regarding this sudden order arrangement, the military camp immediately became busy. Fifty members of the combat readiness army were fully armed and lined up on the carriage to prepare for departure.

The Magic Truck's mass production factory has just completed the final phase of equipment installation, and it is estimated that it will not be ready for production until three or four days at the earliest.

At present, the transportation task of the team can only fall on the carriage.

However, the transportation of construction materials still relies on the help of the first experimental version of the magic truck.

Under Gudern's deliberate arrangement, the mobilization speed in Qingyuan Town was very fast. Less than half an hour after the combat readiness army set off, the second team also set off immediately.

The second team is composed of workers from the second construction team, as well as some materials that cannot be loaded in the magic truck.

There is also a police escort to ensure the safety of traveling at night.

After completing the task arrangements, Gudern did not return directly to the castle, but informed Old Joseph.

"The target of the orc troops should be the elemental leylines. After a whole day of forced advance, the opponent will probably have to camp and rest at night."

"The elemental leyline is very important to the orcs, and it cannot be given to the other party so easily. I will go to the elemental leyline personally in the evening to direct the construction work, and strive to complete the defense work before tomorrow morning."

"When I am away, you will take over the management of Qingyuan Town. If you encounter irresistible matters, you can go to Anna and others for help."

Hearing that the young master planned to go to the front line in person, Old Joseph was still a little hesitant at first.

But seeing the young master's expression, I couldn't get out of my throat to dissuade him. After a long time, I could only nod and agree.

Seeing Old Joseph's worry, Gudern patted the other party's shoulder and said with a smile.

"You still don't know the strength of the combat readiness army? In addition to my current situation, it is easy to deal with the orcs. It's just that time is urgent. I have to arrange the mission myself. I can return tomorrow morning without any problems."

Faced with the young master's confidence, Old Joseph nodded in agreement.

After Gudern explained some matters later, he set off directly with the third team.

Since the construction task time is extremely short, there is only one night to prepare, which is a huge problem for labor issues.

Therefore, for the evening construction, Gooden directly selected three experienced personnel from the second construction team to come, and the total number of people totaled almost 300 people.

As for the material issue, with the continuous transportation of magic trucks, ensuring sufficient building materials is not a problem.

After three hours of walking in the snow at night, Gudern finally arrived near the elemental leyline.

The first construction workers to arrive have already begun planning the allocation of construction sites and burying explosives in preparation for the subsequent pouring of foundations.

In addition, soldiers from the Qingyuan combat readiness army established temporary defensive positions on nearby hills and passes to protect the safety of the construction site.

According to the normal construction period, it will take a period of time for the cement to cool down after laying the foundation.

But now that we have to race against time, Gooden cannot afford to wait, so he can only use 'external forces' to help speed up the cooling and hardening.

This is why he came in person. After all, in Qingyuan Town, apart from Anna, Moss, and Helisa, he is the only one who can use magic.

With the help of magic, there should be no problem in completing the construction of the fortifications in one night.

Chapter 129 Extraordinary attack, Moss takes action!

The workers of the second construction team all have full construction experience.

Upon arrival, work began immediately.

There were six batches of people transported by horse-drawn carriages, plus trucks traveling back and forth, providing a steady stream of construction materials for the construction site.

Looking at the construction site lit by the magic lamp, Gooden saw a hint of a modern construction site here.

Seven or eight mixers are continuously producing cement, various bucket trucks are constantly transporting cement, and magic hot melt guns are welding steel bars. It can be said that the construction here is almost the same as a modern construction site.

Even ranging and positioning are arranged by magic equipment.

After all, these gadgets only require a kit and a magic module to operate. They can be used even in mass-produced factories, which is extremely convenient.

However, although there is such a thing as rapid cooling cement, it can only cool and solidify the exposed cement layer, and there is no way to do it for things like foundations that go deep into the ground.

Gooden cast thousands of spells in a row in one night, not only to cool the solidified cement, but also to help with some construction problems.

Even with the slowdown of various entries, Gooden was very tired after one night.

At the beginning of dawn, after nearly ten hours of continuous construction, a group of fortresses and turrets armed to the teeth suddenly appeared on the formerly deserted countryside.

The circular turret is ten meters high. The building complex serves as the core. Within a radius of fifty meters, six underground bunkers are installed, plus four outpost towers and various barbed wire fences.

In addition, for the sake of visibility, the free personnel also cleared all the trees outside the fortress group to ensure that there would be no blind spots within 200 meters.

Gudern stood on the roof of the turret, looking at the surrounding situation with a tired face.

Although the sunrise in the east has not yet started, the bright light radiated is enough to see the surrounding environment clearly.

Gudern couldn't help but sigh at the miracle that appeared out of thin air.

Last night, there was still nothing here, but one night later, a group of bunkers rose out of thin air. What would the expressions on the faces of the orc troops that had done the reconnaissance in advance be like when they came here?

However, as to whether the orc troops are planning to come to occupy the point, Gudern is actually just a guess.

After experiencing so many things, and having been with Blue Star for more than 20 years, I can't say that I can guess 100% of this kind of question, but I can still make a close guess.

Even if the opponent's final destination is not here, he still has to build a fortress group here in the elemental leyline for prevention.

Previously, he had been focusing on development research in Qingyuan Town, and had forgotten about the elemental veins.

In addition, yesterday's intelligence analysis revealed that this loophole was discovered and it is not too late to fix it immediately.
