…
The gunboat slowly docked at the pier. Roland walked out of the cabin and couldn't help being attracted by the scenery in front of him.
The arc-shaped rocks stretched out from both sides, wrapping the entire town like a pair of giant hands. Looking up, there was only a line five fingers wide in the sky. The sun shone from this gap, like a line Golden light wall.
Countless vines fell from the bottom of the rock, like green hair, and some thick vines even fell to the ground, making people want to climb up along it.
When the light penetrated the dense branches, leaving little spots of light on the flowing river, Roland felt as if he was in an unexplored jungle. However, this place is not without people. Along the Silent River, various artificial buildings extend to both sides. The townspeople shuttle among the waist-high broad-leaved bushes. The smoke slowly rises, and there is an indescribable harmony beauty of.
Due to the light, the temperature here is several degrees lower than the outside, and the color of the plants is also much richer. It is not difficult to understand that it is called Yougu Town.
Roland and the witches stepped onto the moss-covered pier, where a group of people were already waiting. The three leaders were naturally the First Army Commander-in-Chief Iron Axe, Duke Calvin of the North, and his daughter Edith.
"We meet again, Your Majesty," Edith curtseyed. "Congratulations on winning the first battle."
"I heard the report when I was on the ship, and you did a good job," Roland nodded approvingly. "I heard from Iron Axe, you have ensured sufficient food supply and ammunition transportation, and you have done a good job of deceiving the enemy."
"This is what the Kant family should do," she said with a small smile. "The merchants in the Northland are very happy to serve you."
However, half a year ago, the owner of this place was still Timothy Wimbledon. Roland thought to himself that the businessmen probably seldom heard of their own names. The so-called willingness to serve should also be Edith's means to drive the traders of the three cities to complete this plan, and her control over the North is indeed extraordinary.
After some encouragement, he looked at Iron Axe, "Have the battle results been counted?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Iron Axe said in a marching salute, "the specific report has been placed in your office."
"office?"
"I have negotiated with Earl Haier. When you stay in Yougu Town, his castle will be your palace." Edith added, "In addition, I have asked someone to rectify the study, and it has been refurbished according to the layout of the border area. , and knocked out a sunny wall to install a floor-to-ceiling window, I heard from Miss Maisie that you like a transparent room."
"Really?" Roland asked with great interest, "What about the count himself?"
"In order not to interfere with your work, he will stay in the mansion in the suburbs." Pearl of the Northland paused, "Do you need me to call him for an interview?"
"No, if he doesn't like participating in these political affairs," he waved, "let's go to the castle first."
"Yes, please come with me."
Is this what power tastes like? Roland smacking his lips, it's not bad to experience it occasionally.
…
Walking into the remodeled study, he thought for a while that he had returned to Neverwinter, and even the spacious mahogany table and the coffee table and lounge chairs in the corner of the room had been re-engraved. The only striking difference is the view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, one is the grey and desperate mountains, while the other is the secluded valley covered in greenery.
I don't know how the original owner Earl Haile will feel after he leaves.
Roland returned to the table and sat down, and began to look at the statistics of the results.
Although he had known the battle in advance, he felt a strong sense of excitement when he saw the reports of casualties from the church.
It was definitely a victory to remember.
One hundred and fifty-six warriors of God's Punishment were killed in battle, which fundamentally relieved his worries about the God's Punishment Army. This powerful and fearless killing machine is not invincible, and the body made of flesh and blood is still no match for steel. with gunpowder. Considering that the God's Punishment Army needs to be transformed with the blood of witches, the number will not be too large. According to Agatha's estimation, as long as the red moon does not come, this special army should be no more than 1,500 people.
One-tenth of the battle damage should have hurt the church for a long time.
In addition, more than 300 judges were killed, more than 20 were seriously injured, and four commanders were captured... These victories were added. Although most of the trial warriors are firm-willed and have superb fighting skills, they are not much different from knights in essence, and Roland does not take them seriously.
Fortunately, this defensive battle didn't encounter the difficult Pure Ones, otherwise, only relying on Sylvie and Iffi to stand in the line, really might not be able to obtain benefits. In fact, the machine gun squad that followed Sylvie's instructions to carry out key strikes was used to deal with the pervasive Purity.
"What about the casualties of the First Army?" Roland closed the statistics.
"Two people were killed and twenty-one were seriously injured," Iron Axe said solemnly. "All the losses came from throwing spears after the approaching God's Punishment Army. Now the wounded have recovered and returned to the team."
After learning that the church was dispatched, Lightning immediately sent Nana to Yougu Town. In terms of post-war rescue, Miss Angel's ability was irreplaceable.
Roland knocked on the table, "Arrange a ship to bring the bodies of the fallen soldiers back to Neverwinter for burial."
"Yes." Iron Axe hesitated for a moment after answering, "Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with Danny, the captain of the Fourth Marksman Team?"
"Is that the old hunter who shot five of the God's Punishment Army?" He took a sip of the tea cup, um... even the taste was the top-grade royal palace he was familiar with, "What do you think?"
During the search and rescue process, the report that Danny and the protector's injured position and the arrangement of the station were different immediately caught Brian's attention. At the conclusion of the battle that night, Roland received the news by listening to the seal, but considering the battle Just after the end, the First Army was still in a celebratory atmosphere. In addition, the protector was seriously injured. He just let Iron Axe take care of the wounded first, and then talk about the matter when he arrived in Yougu Town.
"I think that although Danny violated the rules by leaving the garrison position without authorization, he has also achieved great results. The record of killing five God's Punishment Warriors alone is enough to make him a star in the army, and the two should cancel each other out. "Iron Axe said slowly, "In Iron Sand City, such warriors will be rewarded by their masters, so..."
"But the First Army isn't an old-fashioned army that rewards people with headshots," Roland interrupted. "Remember what I taught you in the first training session?"
Iron Axe swallowed, "It's discipline, Your Majesty."
"Only discipline is the foundation of a strong army," he stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, "I hope you will always remember this. Now tell me, what is the correct way to deal with it?" (.,, Your support is my greatest motivation.) 17-02-28 05:31:12
