343 7.71 Welcome To Camp Salvation, Everyone. (2/2)
Alleicea and Aventina both had new clothes and dressed up just like Will.I.Am except they had long brown hair that they tied into a ponytail and a round butt. Will.I.Am had a flat butt so if the 3 of them walk abreast, I coils differentiate which one is a girl and which is a boy.
Matilda and Stef had treated the girls with fried rice with salted fish and brought back dumping to share with their Senior Will.I.Am and to assist as much as possible. Since the garden patch was across the river, Jean Lethal helped the girls to get across and get acquainted and to immediately start work.
I overheard Will.I.Am was saying to the girls that he would be paying the girls 2 shillings per month for their assistance and it's courtesy of Fasuto Japan...eh No, The Band of Vagabonds.
Initially, they watched Will.I.Am worked to make the trellis and then they started to draw water from the side of the river banks and water the mounds. They chatted while they worked and was surprised that both Will.I.Am and I could finish the task of clearing the land and making the mounds all within two hours.
Reports from each of the warrior class came back and we pondered on the findings and discovered that the two towns had survived relentless attacks from the orcs and the undead last week. The Orcs were from The Zraz Nobregh and Undead were from The Voiceless Eradicators. The Orcs and Undead would attack Scarthingwell one week and Barkston Ash the next.
They had a Marauder Chief Orc and fielded with 3 Warlock Chief Healers and they were a mix of melee combatants made of Swordman, Pikeman, Spearman and Axeman while the ranged would be Archers and Wizards dealing, Frost, Fire and Lightning. The same goes to the Undead and they were armed with Shields. Their Level varies from 60 to 80 while the Marauder Chief is Level 90 along with the Healers.
I excused myself and closed my eyes, meditated and went to the Realm of Mind where I turn logs into 4 planks each. I had more than 120 logs now and I immediately spotted everything into one a lot and pushed the slider to CRAFT / MATERIALS and pulled the lever.
I had about 480 planks that went straight to the storage bin of my bag and I immediately logged off to get back to the real world. That's much more productive rather than turning one by one to craft all these.
”Sorry, had to clear those logs. We are going to make a 40x40 2 storey hearth where all warriors would be bunked in together regardless of class but a small partition would be made for the Amazonian ladies.”
”That's all right silly boy, you need not apologise. It's your duty, we understand that you need to have some shut-eye and go to sleep right?!?”
”Hahahahaha...so where were we...Oh yeah, how to draw these idiots to come to us while we need to take care of those Marauder Chief and his healers which would be at Level 90. We'll wait for the class leaders to come forward and provide us with various battle tactics that we can think of.”
”At the meantime, let's make some tables and benches, shall we? We have 80+ people, so each table sits 8 person. Make a dozen tables and 24 benches then. Have anyone marked the hearth for a 40x40 yet?”
”I'll do it, boss...I would be right here where we are sitting down right now and the back faces the garden patch while the front main entrance faces the forested area. Any designs on the hearth yet, Boss?”
It's an open concept for the windows and doorway. There's no need for a door since this territory is being swamped by these insects. Defensive measures, anyone?”
”Please forgive me for the imprudence and interruption, Sirs, Ma'am. We could make Punji traps using these bamboos, underneath and below the surface. It may not be much, but at least it would stop those marauding monsters from coming into town. We could blanket the place intervals with 1 meter deep trenches and places punji sticks in between. When they try to evade one, they might fall deep into the trenches.” Will.I.Am suggested as he had left the 2 girls to water the mounds and joined us.
”Here, let me draw a plan, but digging the trenches would take up a lot of time and the effort to blanket them to make it look natural would also be another factor. How about we make portable Punji obstacles instead?”
Will.I.Am showed how a Punji stick looked like and how incredibly sharp it may be. It may pierce unprotected human flesh easily, but for orcs and the undead, it would be questionable. Furthermore, these Punji sticks are fairly easy to make.
