Release that Witch Chapter 113: Warning

Since the end of Months of Demons, Western Region has only had two rains. The rest of the day is sunny and seems to be compensating for the share owed throughout the winter. In the office, the musty smell was also swept away. The air became fresh and natural. When I opened the window, I could still smell a light fragrance from the garden from time to time.

To date, the road between small town and Longsong Stronghold has basically restored its original appearance, and Roland's movements on stronghold have become particularly concerned.

According to the previous year's situation, after land transportation was restored, a businessman would soon go to Border Town to sell daily goods, but now he has not seen a businessman from Longsong Stronghold. Lightning conducts two investigations a day to ensure that the small town is adequately prepared before the enemy arrives.

In the past week, First Army has entered the comprehensive exercise phase, including two parts of the line of defense and field pursuit. The former mainly relies on Lightning to report the enemy's distance in the air. The artillery and firearms team shoot the part according to the instructions. It is clear that both the instructions and corresponding actions are clear. For example, solid shell bombardment when entering 800 meters and 500 meters, shotgun bomber approaching 300 meters, firearms shooting after entering 50 meters, and so on. As long as they saw the banner raised by Lightning, the team leaders informed the team of the method of attack.

The key is the field pursuit phase. According to Roland's plan, after the opponent is defeated, retreating back to stronghold is the same as when it came, and it takes three days. Even if militia and mercenary are left alone, the time will not be less than two days, so the other party must camp in the wild. This gave First Army the opportunity to chase. Lightning maintains full surveillance, First Army follows and walks in a safe area not found by scouts, while cannon and ammunition are transported by H.M.S. Little Town. When the opponent established camp overnight, the troops completed the encirclement, and then launched a pinch in the early morning to wipe out the opponent.

The plan doesn't seem complicated, but in the case of situation without radio communication, it is almost a matter of impossible to separate the troops and fight together. Roland can only invest witch in this link to make up for the lack of communication. He didn't know how it turned out.

Another point is that there are very few gunpowder reserves left, so no live ammunition is fired during the comprehensive exercise phase. The main training is the cooperation between the firearms team and the artillery team and the cooperation between First Army and witch. He has sent people to further Fallen Dragon Ridge and Scarlet Water City, hoping to find more sources of saltpeter there. If gunpowder can not be added in time, I am afraid that after two battles, firearms in First Army's hands can only be used as a spear.

Roland writes some new purchase plans on paper, including saltpeter, grain, seeds and other materials, and plans to let Barov send another apprentice to Greycastle Kingdom Capital to try their luck. There are plenty of products there, especially saltpeter. As the summer approaches, Kingdom Capital's nitrate production plant must have been fully started. As a city with a large number of noble and wealthy merchants, once the weather gets hot, the consumption of saltpeter will be astonishing. He hopes to find a stable supplier to provide gunpowder raw materials for Border Town continuously.

Before that, he had already sent two personal guards to implement the witch and Fruit Finding Program. The former generally disguised as a traveler or businessman, spreading the rumor of Border Town assaulting witch in the streets, lanes, black markets and other places. Of course, the host is not Fourth Prince Roland, but Holy Mountain was finally found. I hope witches will go to Cooperation Association, which is settled. The latter went directly to Port of Clear Water to buy exotic crop seeds from across the fjord. Of course, if there are any rare crops in the cities you pass by, the seeds will also be brought back together.

After completing the purchase order, hand it to Scroll, and let her go to City Hall to transfer it to Barov. After Scroll left, Roland stretched a lazy waist and wanted to drink saliva, but found that the glass was empty.

Nightingale had already brought the pot to his table when he was about to get up to get it. Not only that, but she filled the glass with a smile and lifted the kettle back.

Roland took a sip slowly and was puzzled. Recently, the attitude of Nightingale is really a bit wrong. He always smiles at him and also actively helps to bring tea and water. Is this a salary increase? She used to sit directly on the sofa and hugged the dried fish tablet for an afternoon.

Although Roland had asked about the reason, the other party laughed and didn't answer, so he had to leave it alone.

Can the Gwent brand really make people happy? In the future, I will get out both poker and mahjong, open an entertainment city, and just wait to collect the money ... Stop, Roland shakes his head and throws away thoughts. Now is not the time to cherish pleasure, he must think about things after winning the stronghold.

Relocate the office center to Longsong Stronghold? Roland has considered this for a long time. Moving the capital to a more prosperous place seems quite tempting. In fact, it is not a good choice. stronghold is different from Border Town. It has been built for more than a century, and the forces are intertwined. noble is also a big one. Territory is managed in accordance with the separation system. Even stronghold feudal lord, it is difficult to insert your hands into other territories. If you want to completely transform it into your own territory, it will be almost impossible to achieve without a change. Not to mention that in a place where fish and dragon are mixed, your own safety factor cannot be guaranteed. He didn't want to be taken away by a radical noble while walking on the street.

Border Town is different. The territory is completely its own. The surrounding land is wide and there is no urgent need to expand the site. The people are mostly composed of miners and hunter, with a single composition. After successfully resisting Months of Demons, their reputation here has also increased. What is more important is that after the First Army ideological propaganda composed entirely of people, most citizen accepted the existence of witch. Compared with Church's far-reaching Longsong Stronghold or other urban residents, small town can easily develop into a witch home. Therefore, Roland still decided to use small town as its core area.

As for stronghold, you can support others to manage for them, as long as the energy source continues to provide themselves with labor population and taxes. What he lacks most now are people and money.

Roland's initial idea is to use Longsong Stronghold money to hire Longsong Stronghold people to contribute to Border Town. These gold royals seized from the defeated noble will be returned to the people, and then collected into stronghold through taxation. After stronghold is paid to him, he will spend it again. In addition, some people with special craftsmanship can be retained for a long time through some preferential policies.

But these are still only a rough outline. For example, who supports the escrow and specific taxation policies must be considered after the battle is over.

At this moment, a yellow figure flew into the window, and then stopped steadily at the Prince's table. It was Lightning.

"It's hard, drink some saliva," Roland lifted the cup and handed it to her, she took it but couldn't take it anymore, and shouted, "Your Highness, they are coming!" (To be continued.)
