In addition to the heavy machine gun that increased the firepower, Roland also planned to develop a bolt-action rifle to complement the medium- and long-range precision shooting, without producing too many, a hundred or so. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The info caliber is the same as the heavy machine gun, and with the scope attached, it is a simple sniper rifle.

In this way, the production line of revolver guns and black powder bullets can also be maintained without causing too much waste.

During the battle, the field artillery is responsible for suppressing the enemy at a distance of 1,000 to 800 meters, 800 to 500 meters is the best area for heavy machine gun harvesting, the enemy who enters 500 meters is called by snipers, and the last 200 meters is cleared by the revolver rifles, which can theoretically ensure that there is no intermission in attack.

Of course, it could take three to four months to fully implement this setup, and it was unlikely that he would be able to catch up with the spring offensive, so he needed another piece of equipment to compensate for the lack of offensive firepower - river gunboats with 152-mm long-barreled guns. As long as there is one, it can cause great psychological pressure on the enemy when taking the initiative to attack.

At the thought of the founding ceremony to be held after the end of the Evil Moon, to unite the entire West, and to have to remove Tifeco from the throne and accept the new influx of people, Roland felt that the task on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier, and he even wished that time passed more slowly, and that the Evil Moon would not end so quickly.

After entering the Western Realm, the surrounding scene becomes different.

Otto Lossy lifted the wooden plank of the window and looked out, only to see that the sky and the earth were all white, and the sky was covered with dense snowflakes, which swirled and swirled along the cold wind, and finally merged into this white.

The snow seemed to have no end in sight, and he had not seen anything else during the two days of the voyage, and everything here was covered with snow, whether it was mud, rocks, or woods, and he didn't even feel like he was moving forward at all, if it weren't for the constant rocking of the ship.

"Put down the window," said the captain in a dismissive manner, "if you really want to see it, you can go to the deck and see it, and no one will stop you." ”

"It's always been like this here?" he closed the plank disapprovingly.

"Of course, you think I can't bluff you," the other party took a sip of the flask, "Every year when the Demon Moon comes, the western realm will be closed by heavy snow, and there is no other way to reach it except the Chishui River. And those who are willing to brave the damn weather to run this route, and at the same time have a boat in their hands, there will be no more than ten kings in the whole city," he hiccuped, "so five golden dragons are a very reasonable price, understand?"

"It's a little more expensive, but I didn't bargain when I paid it," Otto smiled.

"It's a bit like that," said the captain, tossing the flask, "warm, take two sips to ward off the cold." He wiped his mouth and said, "There have been such merchants in the past, who wanted to rush to the west to buy goods one step ahead of anyone else, but they were reluctant to pay the extra fare, so they found the group of rats in the black street to send him." As a result, he was wiped on his neck halfway through, and the two or three mercenaries he brought with him were useless at all, and they were all fed fish. ”

"That's still ...... It's unfortunate enough. Otto took the flask and did not pull out the cork and pour it into his mouth, but took off his gloves and put them in his hands—he was not used to drinking the same utensils with others.

"One price, one goods, this principle is the same everywhere, there are always people who feel that they can take advantage of it. He didn't want to think that if the rats could deliver it at such a low price, our ship would not have to be disbanded?" The captain pouted, "Then again, what kind of business do you want to do when you go to the West?" Don't blame me for not reminding you, this ghost place used to produce some jewelry and furs, but now you can't buy anything. ”

"Oh?" said Otto, feigning curiosity, "as far as I know, don't they make a living from it?

"That's all old news," the captain said, leaning his pipe to the charcoal brazier and taking a hard breath, "Ever since the Fourth Prince came to control the Frontier Town, the Westside has become weird. You must know that both furs and jewelry are produced in that town, and no one knows what he is tossing in his territory, and the whole business is almost impossible to enter. There are still jewels for sale in the Changge Fortress, but the nobles have their own fixed channels, and you can't get your hands on them. ”

"Only in but not out?" he said, surprised.

"Yes, although you can't buy special products, the business of the merchants who take the goods over and sell them is still quite good, whether it is food, clothes, cloth or groceries, they can basically be sold cleanly, and I don't know where the fourth prince scavenged so many golden dragons. The captain spat out a smoke ring, "So you're probably going to be empty-handed this time." ”

Otto put on a look of gain and loss, and did not answer again—in fact, he did not care whether he would return empty-handed, and the real purpose of this trip was only one, and that was to meet the lord of the border town. Because of Roland Wimblington's traitorous status, he could not go as an envoy with great fanfare, so he had to disguise himself as a merchant and rush to the border lightly.

Before leaving, he had already carefully inquired about the news of his destination.

True to its name, it is an inconsequential frontier town in a neighboring country, originally built to keep an eye out for evil beast invasions, before being converted into a permanent residence. It stands to reason that the princes were divided into this kind of place, and they all belonged to the kind that was extremely unliked by the king and left to fend for themselves.

But the problem is that he has not only established himself in the West, but has also posed a great threat to the new king - this is the most incomprehensible thing for Otto, if the fourth prince really has such ability, how can he leave such an unbearable comment and be kicked by the king to a remote place?

According to the information received, the rise of Roland Wimbledon is incredible.

A year ago, he had been sent to a border town, which in fact was more of an exile. There were no ministers with him, no guards of his own, and even the knights around him were sent by the king. It is difficult for such a thin team to even subdue the local aristocracy, let alone implement their own policies, and this division is also talked about as a joke by most people.

However, just six months later, the Fourth Prince defeated Duke Lane's invasion and sent troops to capture the fortress of Changge, becoming the true ruler of the West. There are various theories about this battle, some say that the duke died in an internal rebellion, while others say that he died from a stumble on his mount, which led to the loss of the Order to a group of miners.

After that, Roland sat firmly in the position of guardian of the west, and the war caused by the battle for the king's order intensified, the eldest prince Goron and the third princess Garcia died one after another, the whereabouts of the fifth princess Tilly are unknown, and the cities in the south and east were destroyed in the continuous war, and only the west was safe.

This was not because of Tifeko's mercy, but because the new king's repeated expeditions had gone unheard. Otto was very curious about this, what did Roland do to cultivate such a fierce group of warriors?

"Boss, Frontier Town is ahead," the sailor pushed open the hatch, "we're almost there." ”

"Oh, it's finally here!" the captain tapped his pipe, "lower the sails, raise the flag, and tell the docks that we're coming! He looked at Otto, "Hey, don't forget to bring your luggage, we'll see you in two days." If you don't arrive on time, I won't wait for you. ”

Otto shrugged his shoulders and said he had no objections.

Among the various news about the fourth prince, there is another rumor that makes him particularly concerned, that is, Roland has taken refuge in the devil and is secretly recruiting witches, which is the real reason why he can quickly defeat the duke and occupy the entire western realm. The burning of the fortress church, the killing of the priest, and the expulsion of the congregants from the territory are all evidence.

In fact, this rumor was also the reason why he made up his mind to come here.

He didn't care if the other party had a deal with the devil, or whether he had solicited witches, he just had a grudge against the church.

At this point, Roland had more appetite for the Dawn Kingdom than Tifeco.

With a shudder in the cabin, the sailboat docked.
