Release that Witch Chapter 538: The wheel of the times
First Army has completed the follow-up replenishment work and will start again soon.
This is also the second half of the spring offensive task -- to capture Willow Town and Fallen Dragon Ridge. The former will make the entire Western Region all in one, while the latter is the most convenient way to southern region.
Considering that neither of the two towns is a easily guarded, hard to attack, Roland gave all the command to Iron Axe, and he no longer travels with the team. As the Kingdom Capital has just been captured, the morale of the army is extremely high, and professional soldiers have gradually emerged in the modern army, and they can faithfully execute combat orders without feudal lord personally leading the team, so Roland has nothing to worry about the results of the battle. As long as the investigation is done well and the artillery force is used to advance steadily, the enemy will not be able to turn around.
The reconstruction of the post-war order is the focus of his attention.
Fortunately, the scale of Willow Town is not large. You do not need to set up a fully functional subordinate City Hall like Longsong region. You only need to arrange the corresponding department office. Now that the border area has been able to provide a group of basic managers, it should not be difficult to incorporate Willow Town into the political system of Neverwinter City.
As for Fallen Dragon Ridge, it will be handed over to Speer Earl to manage the downfall of -- Timothy. She has sworn allegiance to Roland and agreed to accept the Western Region's management model. In order to assist her to take over the city and clean up the rebellion noble, it is necessary to send First Army to the station.
Moreover, whether it is to further annex southern region or capture Iron Sand City, Fallen Dragon Ridge is a key traffic channel, so another purpose of the garrison is to prevent accidents. In any case, the city must rest in the hands of Roland.
"In this way, the number of First Army will be tight," Iron Axe frowned after setting the plan, "Kingdom Capital currently has 500 people, and Willow Town and Fallen Dragon Ridge will take up a thousand people. We can freely move. There are only 1,500 troops left, and most of them are artillery. Neverwinter City is afraid that it will temporarily lose the ability to take the initiative.
"How did the recruits expand when recruited at Months of Demons?"
"It's far from the level of regular troops," he shook his head, "at least two or three months before training."
Roland becomes silent laughed. I thought that when I formed the militia team to resist Evil Beast, I just embarked on the city wall after training for a month and a half. Now the army is becoming more comprehensive and the qualification standards have increased a lot. In fact, being able to listen to the command to line up and pull the trigger at the target, in this era, even if it is a strong army -- after all, lined up guns still need to advance against the opponent's firepower, and here is just aiming at the enemy.
"Don't worry, the garrison can be replaced with these recruits, and letting them play against the noble's guards is also a kind of exercise." Roland said easily, "When the envoy group recruiting refugees returns, Neverwinter City will usher in a new one. Population peak, you can continue to expand the army by then. "
Breaking Kingdom Capital is far from the end, and capturing Fallen Dragon Ridge is just the beginning. If everything goes well, he hopes that this year, before the arrival of Months of Demons, the entire Extreme Southern Region can be included in the territory.
If he can obtain a stable supply of Black water natural resource, he may be able to push the industrial level of Neverwinter City to a new level.
Not long after Iron Axe retired, Nightingale appeared silently in front of Roland.
"Iffy wants to see you."
...
Looking at the Blood Tooth Association witch slowly entering the office, Roland felt some changes.
Her pace is not as stable as when she first came, her long black hair is a little messy, obviously she can't take care of it. The look of vigilance and arrogance on his face faded a bit, replaced by a sense of confusion and confusion.
At this time, she is more like a girl who is fit for this age.
Iffy bowed and saluted first, and then said after a long silence, "Your Majesty, Macy ... What is weapon?"
Roland had already guessed that she would ask like this, and nodded towards Nightingale, who pulled out revolving rifle from her waist and put it on the table.
"She used a gun and used gunpowder to push the projectile to kill the enemy," he skillfully removed the bomb nest and poured out the bullets. "The projectiles that deal with you have been specially modified and will not penetrate the body, otherwise you were then Already dead. "
Iffy lips squirmed, seemed to want to say something, but swallowed back.
Roland held up a bullet and held it in front of it, "Did you see this thing? It's not much bigger than a little finger, but it requires a very complicated set of steps to produce it. -- This process requires hundreds of people The ordinary townspeople and the three witchs participated, and neither of them would work. And those witch are non-combat witch that you think are useless. Now, do you still think so? "
"I ..." She looked hesitant and didn't answer for a long time.
Roland didn't give each other much time to think, and then said, "Maybe they can't fight you directly with their abilities, but what does this mean? An ordinary person is also difficult to knock down a ferocious with his fists and feet. Beasts, but ultimately humans, not those beasts. "
"I prefer to call non-combat witch as auxiliary witch. They can give most ordinary people new power through their own abilities, like guards -- wielding swords and shields. With these, humans Fang can easily defeat the beast. In a sense, support witch is greater than combat witch. "
"But your weapon ... can play a more powerful role in the hands of combat witch," Iffy whispered.
"This gap is not obvious, at least it can not control the outcome of a war," Roland shook his head. "You can imagine that when you face ten ordinary soldiers who use the same weapon, how many wins? Divided? Such a gun, my territory can produce 7-8 handles every day, and how many combat witch? And, weapon alone is not feasible. To maintain the operation of these weapon, we must have a large production logistics team, The role of support witch is irreplaceable.
He reassembled the gun and returned it to Nightingale. "I know you have a hard time understanding the fact that -- humans are greater than beasts because they can use their wisdom to create powers that the world never had. magic power It is undoubtedly the best tool, but you are wasting this talent. "He paused for a moment," Yes, the First Army reserve team will conduct live ammunition training in the afternoon. I can arrange for you to visit it and you will be available when Take a closer look with your own eyes, what is true power. "
"The times have changed, Iffy."
