"You go on," Roland couldn't help but be interested. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hermes' topography is unique, with the Desperate Mountains leaving a gentle slope here, with the old city below and the new city on top of the plateau. The environment there is very harsh, except for the fact that you can use natural dangers to defend against evil beasts, it is not suitable for living, let alone cultivating wasteland. As a result, all the food and supplies needed for the new holy city would need to be provided by the old holy city - but the latter only had enough land to feed the more than 20,000 people below the mountain. ”

"This means that they need to collect food from other places, such as churches and church organizations in nearby cities, most of them will buy a piece of land, or rent wheat fields from lords to cultivate. Every autumn, dozens of wagons arrive from the Four Kingdoms every day, in order to replenish the new holy city on the plateau. By now, a bazaar-like town has been formed outside the Old Holy City, which can be used for the rest of the convoy and for the church to maintain order in the city. ”

In other words, if they decide to send out the Inquisitors on a large scale, they will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of these merchants. Even if the army has not yet officially moved, we can estimate the timing of the other party's dispatch by changing the scale of the material delivery. ”

She speaks like a speech of the afterlife, her eyes sweeping over those present to confirm that they are focused on themselves, and the confidence she displays rarely appears in women of this era.

Roland thought to himself that Calvin Kant's letter was not entirely boastful, at least in terms of demeanor, it was worthy of the title of Pearl of the North.

"Why do you know so well?" said Barov, shaking his beard, "as if he had come out of the Holy City." ”

"I've lived there for a while," EDI replied without hesitation, "because of the Evil Moon Pact." ”

"What's that?" Roland asked, confused. He had a slight impression of the term in his head, but he couldn't remember what it was.

"You don't know?" she blinked, "In order to assist the Church in its fight against the Evil Moon, the Four Kingdoms will need to send troops to support the Holy City of Hermes and fight alongside the Inquisition. Your brother Goron Wimbledon is the commander of the Grey Keep Frontier Army, and I have fought under him. However, something seems to have changed in the previous year, and the coalition forces of the four kingdoms heard that they had lost all their lives and wounds, and the inquisition army of the church had also suffered heavy losses. ”

"Yes," echoed Perro, "it is there that my friend Wren Dmitry completed his knightly test. ”

"Does every knight have to fight against the beast to be crowned?" Roland looked at Carter, "Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

"Ahem, this is a favorite method used by knights in small places," Carter said, "The Knights of the Royal Capital have their own rules, and in addition to bravery, loyalty and knowledge are also very important aspects, which cannot be proved by just fighting ferocious monsters. ”

"By the way, Your Majesty," Edith did not refute Carter's words, but turned to look at Roland, "can you show me how your army fought? I have always wondered how you managed to conquer the royal capital in one day, and if you can understand how the First Army fights, I may be able to help in the rest of the war." ”

This is not a big problem, and the weapons and equipment of the First Army are no longer something that can be imitated at a glance, and with the progress of technology, the characteristics of more and more costly costs in war have gradually manifested, and without a complete logistical supply system and industrial production guarantee, even if the other side is given a batch of muskets, it will not be used. Moreover, the display of force against the Northland loyalists can not only improve the confidence of the other party, but also deter them from thinking about it, thinking of this, Roland nodded towards the iron axe and said, "You go and arrange it." ”

"Yes. ”

"Your Majesty, I propose that you, in the name of the King, issue a decree of expulsion of the church to every town in the Grey Keep. Barov was not willing to be left behind Edith, "Otherwise, if the war starts, the church will become a stronghold for them to devour the kingdom step by step." ”

"I'm afraid there aren't many lords who are willing to do this, the church is generally a big tax collector, and the power of the church is feared, they are more inclined to see the wind and steer," Edith shrugged, "This is also the usual behavior of nobles. ”

"It's better than doing nothing," the manager glared.

"Of course," she chuckled disapprovingly, "the Northland will fully support this law. ”

"Then do it," Roland nodded.

"It's going to be a tough fight," Sylvie said, looking worried, "You'd better inform Mistress Tilly, the witches of the Isle of Sleep might be able to help you." ”

Hearing her words, Roland couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, the problems of Sleeping Island are no less than his own, after the information of the Blood Fang Society was sent, he has not heard the other party's reply so far, if the internal contradictions are not resolved, if Tilly leads his men to help, there may be a big problem on Sleeping Island. However, Sylvie also has a point, the most effective way to deal with the strangely capable Pure is the witch herself. "I'll write to her. ”

"Don't forget to prepare the Divine Punishment Stone for your mortals," Agatha continued, "In the hundreds of years of the Federation, there have also been some witches with incredible abilities, and mortals who do not wear the Divine Stone are powerless in front of them, and one such witch is enough to take the lives of thousands. ”

"Muskets and cannons won't work?"

"Not to mention that witches like Nightingale are easy to get close to your army, and some abilities are already in effect even when you see them. ”

Roland was dumbfounded for a moment, the First Army already had 5,000 people counting the reserve troops, where did he go to get so many Divine Punishment Stones? Even if he relied on the blood of witches to break down the veins of Divine Stones, I am afraid that he would not be able to make up enough of them in a short period of time.

"Your Majesty, ask the church for this sacred stone," Iron Axe suggested, "If it only hits the church and the faithful, it will not have much impact on the common people of the city, and the nobles will not dare to openly confront you." In this way, you can not only fulfill Lord Barov's suggestion, but also get a large number of divine stones for free. ”

The corners of Barov's mouth twitched, "You mean to send the First Army to rob?"

"It is to uproot the enemy's stronghold, like breaking the fangs of a viper," he corrected, "and Miss Edith can see directly how the First Army is fighting—a battle that speaks more than a drill." ”

"I think so too," Edith laughed.

"It's a lot of money," Roland finally said, "and let's call it 'Tooth Extraction.'" ”
