Release that Witch

Chapter 113: Early warning

Since the end of the Demon Moon, there have been only two rains in the West. The rest of the time is sunny and seems to compensate for the share owed in the winter. The office also smelled the musty smell before, the air became fresh and natural, and the window was opened, and the light fragrance that floated in the garden was heard from time to time.

Up to now, the land route between the town and the long song fortress has basically recovered, and Roland’s movements on the fortress have become particularly concerned.

According to the previous year's situation, after the land transportation resumed, there will soon be a businessman going to Bianbu Town to sell daily goods, but now he has not seen a businessman from Changge Fortress. Lightning is checked twice a day to ensure that the town is well prepared before the enemy arrives.

In the past week, the First Army has entered the stage of comprehensive drills, including the defense line to meet the enemy and the field pursuit. The former relies mainly on lightning to report the enemy distance in the air. It is easier for the artillery and the firearms to shoot this part according to the instructions. Both the command and the corresponding action are clear. For example, when entering the 800 meters and 500 meters, the solid shells are shot, and the ammunition shells after the 300 meters are approached, and the guns are fired after 50 meters. As long as you see the flag of lightning, the team leader will inform the players how to attack.

The key lies in the field pursuit phase. According to Roland's plan, after the other party was defeated, it would take three days to retreat and return to the fortress. Even if the militia and the mercenary are returned, the time will not be less than two days, so the other party must camp in the wild. This gave the first army the opportunity to pursue. Surrounded by lightning, the First Army followed the safe area that was not found by the scouts, and the artillery and ammunition were transported by the township. When the other party established the camp overnight, the troops completed the encirclement, and then launched a pinch in the early morning to destroy the opponent.

The plan doesn't look complicated, but it's almost impossible to separate the troops and then combine them without radio communication. Roland can only invest in witches in this link to make up for the lack of communication. The final result, his heart is not at the end.

Another point is that there is not much leftovers in the gunpowder reserves. Therefore, instead of live-fire shooting, the main training is the collaboration between the firearms and the artillery team, and the cooperation between the first army and the witch. He has sent people to the farther down of the Dragon Ridge and Chishui City, hoping to find more sources of saltpeter there. If the gunpowder cannot be replenished in time, I am afraid that after two battles, the musket in the hands of the First Army can only be used as a spear.

Roland has written some new procurement plans on paper, including saltpeter, grain, seeds and other materials. He intends to let Barov send another apprentice to the Grey Castle King to try his luck. The goods there are very abundant, especially the saltpeter is approaching in the summer, and Wangdu’s sugar field must have been fully operational. As a city with a large number of aristocrats and wealthy businessmen, once the weather is hot, the consumption of saltpeter will be astonishing. He hopes to find a stable supplier and provide gunpowder raw materials for Bianyan Town.

Prior to this, he had sent two guards to carry out the process of summoning witches and looking for fruit. The former is generally pretending to be a traveler or a businessman, spreading rumors of the witches in the town of Bianbu in places such as street corners and pub black markets. Of course, the custodian is not the four princes Roland, but finally finds the holy mountain, and hopes that the witches will go to the co-help club for settlement. The latter goes directly to the clear water port to buy exotic crop seeds from the other side of the fjord. Of course, if there are any rare crops in the city that passes through, the seeds will be brought back together.

After writing the purchase order, hand it to the book and let her go to the town hall and hand it over to Barov. After the book leaves, Roland stretches out and wants to drink saliva, only to find that the cup is empty.

When he was about to get up and take the kettle, the nightingale had already mentioned the pot to his desk. More than that, she smiled and filled the cup and brought the kettle back.

Roland took a sip and slowly felt puzzled. Recently, the attitude of the nightingale is really wrong. He always has a smile on his face, and he also actively helps the tea to pour water. Is this a salary? In the past, she sat directly on the sofa chair and held the dried fish slices for an afternoon.

Although Roland had asked the reason, but the other party laughed and did not answer, he simply had to let it go.

Can the Mofund brand really make people happy? In the future, I will get poker and mahjong out and open a casino. I just waited to collect the money... I stopped, and Roland shook his head and threw the distracting thoughts behind him. Now is not the time to enjoy the fun, he must consider the things after the fortress.

Move the office center to the long song fortress? Roland has considered this for a long time, and it seems quite tempting to move to the more prosperous land. In fact, it is not a good choice. The fortress and the border town are different. It has been built for more than 100 years, and the forces are intertwined. The nobility is also a big one. The territory is managed according to the system of separation. Even if it is the lord of the fortress, it is difficult to insert it into other territories. To completely transform it into your own territory, it is almost impossible to make a revolution. Not to mention the fact that in such a mixed environment, your own safety factor cannot be guaranteed. He didn't want to take a walk on the street when he was taken away by a radical aristocrat.

The town of Bianbu is different. The territory is completely self-sufficient. The surrounding land is wide and there is no need to expand the site. Most of the people are composed of miners and hunters. The composition is single. After the month of successfully resisting the demon, their reputation in this place has also risen. More importantly, most of the people accepted the existence of witches through the ideological propaganda of the First Army, which was completely composed of the people. Compared to the church's far-reaching long-song fortress or other urban people, the town is easy to develop into a witch's place to live. Therefore, Roland still decided to use the town as its core area.

As for the fortress, it can be supported by others for management, as long as the energy source continuously provides labor and tax for itself. What he lacks most now is people and money.

Roland’s initial idea was to hire a long-song fortress for the money of the long-song fortress, to add to the town of Bianbu. These golden dragons, which were searched from the hands of the defeated nobility, will return to the hands of the people, and then concentrate on the fortress through taxation. After the fortress is handed over to him, he will spend it again. In addition, some preferential policies can be used to keep some people with special skills for a long time.

But these are still just a rough framework. For example, who supports escrow and specific tax policies must wait until the end of the battle.

Just then, a yellow figure flew into the window, and then it was lightning bolted to the prince's desk.

"It’s hard, drink some water," Roland took the cup and handed it to her. She took it but couldn’t take it, shouted loudly, "His Royal Highness, they are coming!" (To be continued.)
