Release that Witch Chapter 607: Smoke from smoke

In addition to sending a formal reply to Roland Wimbledon, he also wrote a private letter to Edith. The letter euphemistically expressed his thoughts. After the young King has not been established, if the relationship with Roland is further advanced, he will be more at ease.

There is no real love in political marriage, or love is not the protagonist. This is no question for Pearl of the Northern Lands. He believes that this is an excellent opportunity, especially in the future, there will no longer be the right to split, which means that King will become the only noble of Greycastle, and the status of Queen is naturally extraordinary.

Calvin believes that her daughter can understand her thoughts.

Results not only Your Majesty did not give a reply, even Edith.

"Don't tell me because you don't like him," Duke poured himself a third cup of black tea, "I haven't seen anyone you like, and that's not important at all ... Since you would consider Timothy before, why Don't think about Roland now? "

"That's not the same, father."

"What's different, isn't it all King?"

Edith closed the notepad, "Timothy needs an ally that can be trusted in Northern Lands, or a subordinate, and the guarantee method is marriage. If I disagree, he will kick the Kant family away and support a willing and obedient person. In other words, if we do not become Queen, the status of the family will be at stake, and we can do nothing. So I can only drag it first. If Roland and his Western Region completely fail, then I will follow the game between noble Rule, marry into the palace. But ... Roland doesn't need it. "

"Need not be What does it mean?"

"He chose me because of his ability, not the things behind me ... Family, territory, wealth, etc. are not important in his eyes." His daughter stunned the tips of the hair, "Since noble and the rules are already there No longer exist, why should I confine myself to those outdated bars? "

"Did you know?" she continued, "Of the City Hall who manages Neverwinter City for him, there are only a handful of officials of noble origin. Most of them come from ordinary civilians and have been selected through rounds of assessment. I have to admit that they are It ’s really bad in most respects, but at least it is not worse than the general noble. ”

"This is the new rule of Your Majesty's. As long as you can complete the work for him, you don't need to worry about losing your status. So you should also lose the old one as soon as possible and adapt to the new policy of City Hall, so as not to hinder me."

"But even so, it doesn't hurt you to be Queen," Duke still doesn't want to give up, "you can still show your ability and give him a prince ... in this way, the Kant family will Becoming an inseparable ally of the royal family, your brother will be guaranteed in the future. "

"I ..." Edith showed hesitation infrequently, "I'm afraid I can't do this."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty Roland ... he seems to believe in love."

Duke frowned, "He is interested in it?"

"Yeah, witch."

"What?" He wondered for a moment whether there was something wrong with his ears.

"Scroll said that Your Majesty Roland will marry a witch as a wife," Edith admitted frankly, "and Scroll is also a witch who works at City Hall and serves as Minister of Education."

"Political marriage?" Calvin can only think of this answer, "But it's too ... ridiculous, witch can't have offspring!"

"It's not a political marriage, just because he likes the witch," she leaned on the back of the chair, playing with a quill in her hand. "Yes, in the future marriage, love is the main character sounds incredible, But somehow, after I contacted him for a month, I was a bit convinced. "

"Why?"

"Feeling," said her daughter, his lips cocked, "After you see him, you will naturally understand that he is the noble that is the least like noble I have ever seen."

"What about the heir?"

"As long as you want to solve, there is always a way to solve it," Edith shook his head, "but that is not a problem that we should care about, and we must not intervene in it."

*******************

Iron Axe patrols the crisscross trenches with a group of officers.

The trench is mainly used to avoid the enemy ’s spear or other long-range attacks. It is divided into several lanes according to the Your Majesty's explanation. Each lane is spaced between 20 and 30 meters. There is a vertical trench connection between the horizontal trenches. It allows soldiers to pass back and forth. There are stakes and barbed wire to prevent the enemy from breaking through quickly. The machine gun fort is set on both sides of the battlefield. The lower part is the dark fortress in the front, and the towering tower is in the back, forming a fire power net with high and low angles.

The rear of the trench is an artillery position. Fifty 12-pound field guns stand side by side. After that, there is a firing area for the 152 mm stronghold gun.

In order to ensure the progress of the project, Iron Axe specially applied for Macy express transportation to Your Majesty, and shipped Lotus to Quiet Valley Town in advance.

Just looking at this hidden killer position, Commander First Army felt that the victory was half done.

A group of people came to the end of the position and looked at the taupe mountains in the distance.

This place is located at the foot of the large gap in Impassable Mountain Range, and it is also the only way to go down. Less than a mile forward, it is the steep Impassable Mountain Range.

Cold Wind Ridge is located halfway up the mountain.

Its strategic significance is similar to that of Border Town. It is mainly established by monitoring Hermes. Once the city lights up a beacon, many villages in Northern Lands and the nearest Quiet Valley Town can see the early warning.

It takes a day and a half from the Cold Wind Ridge to reach the erection site, so First Army has ample time to prepare for the enemy.

"Can't we really pull out the Cold Wind Ridge's townspeople in advance?" Brian, who was following him familiar with the battlefield, couldn't help but ask, "Holy City might turn them into the first batch of frontline lunatics. "

"That would cause the enemy to be vigilant. We cannot take this risk until all the positions are set up," Iron Axe said answer without expression, "Cold Wind Ridge is too close to Holy City, so it can only be used as a bait, not the main battlefield. "

"And no one will listen to us," Van'er added. "Think about it. Someone ran into the town and told the local people that the war is about to begin. You should flee this place and go to the foot of the mountain ... … Who would believe it? Unless they come hard and force them to leave. By doing so, Holy City will immediately see our intention. "

Brian sighed, "I understand that, but ..."

"Relax, the encirclement will be completed in three days," Iron Axe whispered, "At that time we can notify the Cold Wind Ridge people to evacuate. According to the information returned by the spies, the large troops of Holy City are still stationed in camp. There should be plenty of time to empty the town. "

"Hope like" Brian suddenly opened his eyes, "Wait, what's that?"

Iron Axe followed his gaze to the distant mountains, his heart sinking slightly.

I saw a ray of black smoke rising from behind the mountain peak, like a black line in the gray sky.
