for Advance Chapter
Timothy Wimbledon led his army to Eagle Town to suppress Garcia Wimbledon's rebellion, but it ended in failure. What ultimately made Garcia Wimbledon win was the flames caused by the inextinguishable black water and a surprise force of Mokin people.
Of course, this did not have much impact on Roland, or rather, Timothy's failure this time bought him more time, because before solving Garcia, the biggest trouble, Timothy would not spare the energy to deal with him, and he had more time to develop.
Since the end of the Demonic Month, there have only been two rains in the West, and the rest of the time it has been sunny, as if to make up for the share owed throughout the winter. The office also swept away the previous musty smell, the air became fresh and natural, and when the window was opened, a hint of light fragrance from the garden could be smelled from time to time.
By now, the land route between the town and the Longsong Fortress has basically returned to its original state, and Roland has become particularly concerned about the movements of the fortress.
According to the situation last year, after the land transportation is restored, merchants will soon go to the border town to sell daily goods, but he has not seen a merchant from Changge Fortress yet. Lightning conducts reconnaissance twice a day to ensure that the town can be fully prepared before the enemy arrives.
In the past week, the First Army has entered the comprehensive exercise stage, including two parts: defensive line to meet the enemy and field pursuit. The former mainly relies on Lightning to report the enemy's distance in the air, and the artillery and musket team fire according to the command-this part is relatively easy, both the command and the corresponding action are clear. For example, solid bullet artillery fire at 800 meters and 500 meters, shotgun artillery fire after approaching 300 meters, musket fire after entering 50 meters, etc. As long as they see the flag raised by Lightning, the team leaders will inform the team members what method to use to attack.
The key lies in the field pursuit stage. According to Roland's plan, after the enemy is defeated, it will take three days to retreat back to the fortress, just like when they came. Even if they leave the militia and mercenaries behind and ride back alone, it will take no less than two days, so the enemy must camp in the wild. This gave the First Army a chance to pursue. Lightning maintained full surveillance, and the First Army followed on foot in a safe area that was not discovered by scouts, while the artillery and ammunition were transported by the Town. When the enemy set up camp for the night, the troops completed the encirclement, and then launched a pincer attack in the early morning to annihilate the enemy.
The plan did not seem complicated, but without radio communication, it was almost impossible to separate the troops into two ends and then launch a joint attack. Roland could only use witches in this link to make up for the lack of communication. He had no idea what the final effect would be.
Another point was that there was little gunpowder left, so live ammunition was not conducted during the comprehensive exercise phase. The main training was the cooperation between the musket team and the artillery team, as well as the cooperation between the First Army and the witches. He had sent people to the farther Falling Dragon Ridge and Red Water City, hoping to find more sources of saltpeter there. If the gunpowder could not be replenished in time, I am afraid that after two battles, the muskets in the hands of the First Army would only be used as spears.
Roland wrote down some new purchase plans on paper, including saltpeter, food, seeds and other supplies, and planned to have Barov send another apprentice to the capital of Graycastle to try his luck. There were plenty of goods there, especially saltpeter. As summer approached, the saltpeter factory in the capital must have been fully operational. As a city with a large number of nobles and wealthy businessmen, once the weather got hot, the consumption of saltpeter would be astonishingly large. He hoped to find a stable supplier to continuously provide gunpowder raw materials for Border Town.
Before that, he had sent two guards to implement the plan of summoning witches and looking for fruits. The former usually pretended to be a traveler or a businessman, and spread rumors that Border Town was sheltering witches in the streets, alleys, taverns and black markets. Of course, the shelter was not the fourth prince Roland, but the Mutual Aid Association that finally found the Holy Mountain and hoped that witches would go there to settle down. The latter went directly to the Blue Water Port to buy exotic crop seeds from the other side of the fjord. Of course, if there were any rare crops in the cities they passed by, they would also bring their seeds back.
After writing the purchase order, he handed it to Shujuan and asked her to go to the city hall to hand it over to Barov. After Shujuan left, Roland stretched and wanted to drink some water, but found that the cup was empty.
When he was about to get up to get the kettle, Nightingale had already brought the kettle to his table. Not only that, she smiled and filled the cup, and then took the kettle back.
Then Nightingale knelt between Roland's legs very consciously, took Roland's limp cock into her mouth, and then looked up at Roland with her big tearful eyes.
Roland took a sip slowly. He knew what Nightingale meant, but he was puzzled. Recently, Nightingale's attitude was really wrong. She always had a smile on his face and took the initiative to help serve tea and water. Did she want a raise? In the past, she would just sit on the sofa chair and eat a bowl of dried fish slices for an afternoon.
Although Roland had asked the reason, the other party smiled and did not answer, so he simply let it go.
He exerted a little force on his lower body, and urinated into Nightingale's mouth while his penis was still not erect.
Nightingale seemed to love the feeling of being a urinal. She always let Roland urinate in her mouth, not minding the fishy smell, and drank it clean every time. Roland was originally worried that this was too much for Nightingale, but looking at Nightingale's appearance, she seemed to be enjoying it. The past experience seemed to no longer hurt her, and Nightingale had found a new self.
Roland was naturally happy about this. Who doesn't want a beautiful urinal? Moreover, Roland also planned to promote this urinal culture so that everyone can enjoy it.
While thinking, Roland pressed Nightingale's head and slowly stroked his erect penis like a masturbation cup. He had to consider what to do after taking over the fortress, but this did not prevent him from venting. Move
the office center to Changge Fortress? Roland thought about this for a long time. Moving the capital to a more prosperous place seemed quite tempting, but it was actually not a good choice. Unlike the border town, the fortress has been built for more than a hundred years. It has a complex power structure and a large number of nobles. The territory is managed according to the feudal system. Even the lord of the fortress finds it difficult to get involved in other territories. It is almost impossible to completely transform it into one's own territory without launching a revolution. Not to mention that in such a place where good and bad people are mixed, one's own safety factor cannot be guaranteed. He doesn't want to be taken away by an arrow from a radical noble while walking on the street.
The border town is different. He has the final say in the territory. The surrounding land is wide and there is no urgent need to expand the territory. Most of the people are miners and hunters, and their composition is simple. After successfully resisting the evil moon, his reputation here has also risen. More importantly, after the ideological propaganda of the First Army, which is composed entirely of the people, most of the people in the territory have accepted the existence of witches. Compared with the people in the Longsong Fortress or other urban areas where the church has a far-reaching influence, the town can easily develop into a place for witches to live. Therefore, Roland still decided to make the town his core area.
As for the fortress, he could support others to manage it, as long as they could provide him with a continuous supply of labor and tax revenue. What he lacked most now was people and money.
Roland's initial idea was to use the money from Changge Fortress to hire people from Changge Fortress to build the border town. The gold dragons looted from the defeated nobles would be returned to the people, and then concentrated in the fortress through taxation. He would spend them after the fortress handed them over to him. In addition, some preferential policies could be adopted to keep some people with special skills for a long time.
However, these were still just a rough framework. For example, who to support to manage it and the specific tax policy would have to be considered after the battle was over.
At this moment, a yellow figure flew in from the window, and then landed steadily in front of the prince's table - it was Lightning.
