Chapter 179: The Murloc Army

Chapter 179: The Murloc Army

The Murloc Castle walls were 4 meters wide, enough for two rows of fully armed soldiers to form a battle line.

The top of the wall was covered with roofs supported by scaffolding.

This was to block the moonlight at night.

Matthew never placed his hopes on default rules.

Along the circular wall.

There were 8 protruding bastions, with interlocking teeth.

The bastions were topped with three-story buildings, filled with shooting ports, and heavy crossbows were placed there.

They could block long-range attacks from the enemy while freely suppressing them with return fire.

At the top of the bastions stood watchtowers.

The outer walls provided cover, blocking the enemy's line of sight.

Behind the outer wall stood a second line of walls, with circular walls blocking the three gates.

Even if the first line of defense fell, there was an even stronger second line!

Even underground, preparations had been made.

Thanks to the kobolds' excellent digging abilities, the foundation of the new wall was nearly ten meters deep.

It was only now that Matthew understood why Pfizer had chosen to build the castle here.

Looking across the entire area within a 10-kilometer radius, only the narrow roads and this hill had solid ground.

Everywhere else was soft, decaying mud.

Anyone trying to build a camp or structure in that mud would end up as unlucky as the Carlisle family's troops.

Although much work remained, with another two months or so of detailed construction, the defenses were already functional.

With 500 soldiers stationed in the Murloc Castle.

Matthew was confident they could repel attacks from over 3,000 elite troops, holding out for months without falling.

Using the heavy crossbows and teleportation arrays for supply, they could even deal heavy damage to the attacking enemy!

As long as the enemy couldn't take Murloc Castle, any dream of crossing the vast, foggy swamp to attack Bay Town was pure fantasy.

It was precisely because of this that Matthew felt confident enough to prepare for a showdown with the Carlisle family.

Bay Town had risen too suddenly; despite the reputation gained from dealing with the Redwood Trading Company, much of it was based on rumor.

For other lords and nobles, it wasn't much of a deterrent.

Take the Carlisle family as an example!

If Bay Town wanted to establish itself here, gain a stronger reputation, and prepare for Matthew's future plans, it needed to take down these challengers one by one.

Starting with the Carlisle family!

That night.

Inside the Carlisle family's camp.

Some soldiers plugged their ears and tried to sleep, prepared for another round of harassment from Bay Town during the night.

Another group of soldiers was gathered and hidden at the camp's entrance.

But just like the previous few nights, although the Bay Town soldiers harassed them a bit, no full attack came.

The soldiers were left feeling frustrated, annoyed by Bay Town's underhanded tactics.
