It was already seven o'clock in the evening when Rollin arrived at the Wild Bear Hill in Alpine Town, a little later than he expected.
However, he found that after only a week of not seeing him, some changes had already appeared on the hill, and one of the slopes was covered with fire.
Following the firelight, Rollin found a number of makeshift tents under the hills. People come and go near the tent, and from time to time someone talks loudly, listening to the voice, basically all of them are young and strong men.
A rough estimate of the number of tents is that there were at least seven or eight hundred people here. Rollin is very satisfied with this, and Elfermand is very efficient.
"Hey, look, it's Lord Lord!" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, and Rollin turned his head to see a mercenary from the Sword and Rose Mercenary Regiment looking at him excitedly, and Rollin was recognized.
Soon, Horn, Luisa, the butler Canado, the animal trainer, and a large number of other familiar people rushed over.
"Let's go to the tent and talk, I need to know more." Rollin laughed.
Everyone entered the tent, and Horn reported the situation to Rollin, who listened attentively.
Sure enough, the people here are all hired workers from Alpine Town, and they are now cutting down trees to open the way and widen the road into the basin. Although there is already a mountain road itself, the hills are quite steep in places. Horn estimates that the work of widening the road in and out of the basin alone would still take two months, even with the help of dwarven explosives.
Hear this step. Luo Lin raised his hand to stop the report: "Stop." Stop building roads. Just use the current mountain road. ”
"But my lord, if there is no good road, the speed of transporting materials into the basin will be several times slower." The butler Carnado looked puzzled, and the others were also confused, wondering why Rollin would ignore this obvious truth.
"I know, but we don't have time to waste on that. Tomorrow, tomorrow we will go into the basin and start burning the forest and open the land! Rollin was the final word. Three months. He can't afford it, and he doesn't use it as a base for long-term development, so there's no need to invest too much manpower and material resources in the road.
Well, since the lord said so, and the money and materials were provided by the lord, of course he had the final say.
Everyone was a little puzzled, even Horn, who looked at Rollin, waiting for his explanation.
"I know I'm skeptical." Rollin looked at everyone, and he saw an unapproving look on everyone's face: "But what I have to say is. We're afraid we don't have much time. ”
The people in the tent are people who understand and can be trusted. Rollin didn't mind saying what he thought.
Horn interjected: "Your Excellency......"
"Call me Rollin."
"Okay, Rollin, I know you're worried about ruining the Miè Sect, but there's something you can't do in a hurry." Horn knew that the destruction of the Miè Sect was very strict, but he was completely unprepared for the orc invasion.
In fact, no one in this era expected this. Just like Rollin's homeland Earth, before the outbreak of the First World War, no one in Europe, who had enjoyed peace for hundreds of years, thought that war would come so quickly, so violently, so suddenly and so tragically.
Rollin couldn't say it directly, he could only express his concern as much as he could: "This time in the cave by the sea, I once again saw the power of this sect. They collected more than 300,000 worth of spell crystals, and their terrifying strength was exposed under their huge financial resources. I think what we know so far should be only a small part of this sect. Their true power is unimaginably great, perhaps as great as ...... Enough to turn the whole Vendôme upside down! ”
"Hiss~~" Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"It can't be!" Luisa shook her head: "Vendôme's power is so huge, and there is an archmage in charge, how is it possible?" ”
"There are some things that I can't say because I don't have any real evidence. All I can say is that fortified castles are often breached from the inside, and believe me, my friends, many of the indications I have found indicate that the castle district of Vendôme is littered with miè cultists, who even occupy high positions. There are signs that they are carrying out this big plan. So, we don't have much time left. I predict that in the future, six months, or even less, there will be an upheaval in Vendôme! ”
The heads of everyone present were very good and sensible, and they all admired Luo Lin very much, knowing that he would never jump to conclusions, seeing him so sure, everyone was shocked to listen, but they already believed it in their hearts.
If it were someone else, such as a celebrity in Vendôme, who heard Rollin's words, they wouldn't believe it at all, and even Rollin would be considered a madman, and even Vianna wouldn't believe it, because it was so appalling.
"But what power can do that?" Edrumander the Beast Trainer asked.
"They're collecting a lot of spell crystals, and I think they're building a giant circle. Elgrimmund, Caronna, remember the orcs we met in the Basin? Rollin asked.
Both of these people have dealt with orcs with their own eyes, and they are nine deaths, how can they forget about jì.
"What do you think would happen if there were 10,000 orcs like that, or even 100,000?" Rollin continued.
“…… I do not know. Fear appeared on Edrumander's face, he couldn't imagine that scene, if that happened, he thought that Rollin's prediction was still optimistic, it was not just a disaster for Vendôme, but for the whole continent!
"Well, this qiē is still unknown, but we must be ready. By the way, what about Narosa? "It's strange that Rollin discovers that his basilisk slave isn't there.
"I don't know where she went, but that day she went into Alpine Town, and it caused panic in the whole town, and scared an old woman to dementia. And she's been avoiding us for days, but I know she's nearby, and she's seen coming back to get food, right, Horn? Eldmund said.
"Yes. I saw it once. In fact. She looked a little weird. Horn spread his hands. He didn't have a problem with Narosa's existence, especially after listening to Eldrimander's description of her combat strength, he felt that Rollin's approach was very wise, they needed such a powerful warrior now, as long as they controlled it, then there would be no problem.
"What's the weird way?"
"I don't know, she seems to be ...... It's like molting, like a snake. Horn described.
"Oh." Rollin thought for a moment. He couldn't quite figure out what had happened to Narosa, but the contractual connection between them was still very strong, and it shouldn't be a big deal, so he said, "Okay, leave her alone for now." The matter of building the road is so decided, and the follow-up materials will be transported over soon, and this qiē needs to be organized. ”
Cannado is capable, but he is Bernard's domestic servant. Therefore, we cannot rely on him to do things, but only rely on his experience.
"No problem. Your Excellency. Canado, the butler, took off his top hat and saluted Rollin.
"Alright. We now have to negotiate a specific charter, and we will act in accordance with it in the future. Rollin slapped the table and said to everyone.
He wants to complete the task of building a territory issued by Zhi Brain, which he can't do alone, everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, of course, it depends on the collective wisdom of these partners.
Everyone nodded.
"There's a river in the basin, it's a water source, and a hydro mill can be built, so the territory has to be built near it."
"Before setting fire to the forest, we have to cut a firebreak to prevent the fire from spreading, so this route is well planned."
"I've been into a basin, it's fertile, do we need to clear the land?"
"The fog in the basin is very problematic, and we have to find a way to disperse it."
“”
After this discussion, everyone forgot about the time, and everyone perfected the territory construction plan without saying a word, until in the second half of the night, a detailed preliminary plan was freshly released.
"Alright, that's all for today. We will work according to this plan first, and then discuss improvements when we encounter problems. Everybody, go and rest. Rollin laughed.
Everyone said goodnight to him, turned away, and when Horn arrived, Rollin called out to him.
"Anything else, Rollin?"
Rollin took out a sapphire as big as a pigeon's egg from his waist bag and threw it over, it was worth at least three hundred gold coins: "Yesterday was the Midsummer Festival of Fire, and I'm sorry for delaying your wedding date with Ruisa." This gem represents my apologies. ”
Horn took the gem, tossed it up and down, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the wedding is just a shape." It's okay to be late, we're already living together anyway. Also, thank you for the gift. ”
He turned to leave, but stopped halfway through: "Also, Rollin, I think you must do your best to find a wife, you are a hereditary lord, and your title and domain need an heir." ”
Luo Lin was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly: "I'll talk about this later." ”
Horn is such a careful person, seeing Luo Lin's appearance, he thought for a moment, and then said: "In this way, your path of pursuing the archmage is not smooth." Doesn't she look down on you? ”
Luo Lin was taken aback: "What are you talking about?" I don't understand. ”
"Haha, nothing." Horn smiled: "Okay, you're really asking for trouble." All I can say is that you're the most daring person I've ever met, and I hope you succeed. ”
Luo Lin smiled bitterly, he knew that Horn had seen it, this person was worthy of being the commander of the Allied forces, his vision was really extraordinary, and he couldn't hide anything from him.
"When did you find out?"
"We went to the Archmage Tower that day, and when you looked at that beautiful archmage, I realized something in my heart, and I didn't think much about it at the time, but it wasn't until I met Ruisa, and I fell in love with someone myself, and I thought about it carefully, and I really realized the meaning of your gaze." Horn said.
"Okay, you know, but don't say it, it's going to damage her reputation." Rollin instructed.
"Don't worry, I know the severity. But I also want to advise you, give up when it's time to give up, don't hold on. ”
With that, Horn turned and left.
Luo Lin smiled to himself, he never thought of giving up, now it's just a trough, it will get better, it will definitely get better.
He tried not to think about it and climbed into bed.
I don't know how long it took, when he was sleeping in a daze, he heard what seemed to be movement around him, his heart moved, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a vague black shadow walking towards him.
Yes, I walked on my feet.
"Who is this? Why didn't Zhibrain call the police? And he didn't feel the danger.
