The First Army has completed the follow-up supply work and will soon set off again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This was also the second half of the Spring Offensive - the capture of Liuye Town and Falling Dragon Ridge. The former will unite the entire West, while the latter is the easiest way to the South.

Considering that neither town was an easy place to defend, Roland handed over all command to Iron Axe and no longer went out with the team. Because the morale of the army was extremely high after the capture of the royal capital, and the professional soldiers had gradually appeared in the rudiments of a modern army, and they could faithfully carry out battle orders without the need for the lord to lead the team personally, Roland had nothing to worry about the outcome of the battle. As long as we do a good job of reconnaissance work and make steady progress with artillery units, the enemy will not be able to make any waves.

And the rebuilding of the post-war order is the focus of his attention.

Fortunately, the scale of Liuye Town is not large, and there is no need to set up a fully functional lower-level town hall like Changge District, and only need to arrange the corresponding department offices. Now that the Frontier District has been able to provide a basic number of administrators, it should not be difficult to integrate Willow Leaf into Neverwinter's political system.

As for the Falling Dragon Ridge, it will be handed over to the Earl of Speer - after the fall of Tifeco, she has sworn allegiance to Roland and agreed to accept the Western Frontier management model in its entirety. In order to assist her in taking over the city and purging the rebellious nobles, it was necessary to send the First Army to garrison her.

What's more, in the future, whether it is to further annex the southern border or capture the iron sand city, the Falling Dragon Ridge is a key transportation artery, so another purpose of the garrison is also to prevent accidents. In any case, the city must be in the hands of Roland to rest assured.

"In this way, the number of the First Army will be tight," Iron Axe frowned after making a plan, "There are currently five hundred people left in the royal capital, and there are still one thousand more people left in Liuye Town and Falling Dragon Ridge, and there are less than 1,500 troops left that we can freely move, most of which are artillery, and I am afraid that Neverwinter will temporarily lose the ability to take the initiative to attack." ”

"How is the training of the recruits recruited during the Evil Moon?"

"It's still far from the level of the regular army," he said, shaking his head, "and it will take at least two or three months of training." ”

Roland smiled dumbly, thinking that when he first formed a militia team to resist the evil beasts, he only trained for a month and a half before he went to the city wall, and now the army construction is becoming more and more comprehensive, and even the qualification standards have increased a lot. In fact, being able to hear the command to march in line and pull the trigger on the target is considered a strong army in this day and age - after all, the queue to shoot still needs to advance against the enemy's fire, and here it is just to shoot at the enemy's target.

"Don't worry, the garrison can be replaced by these new recruits, and it will be a kind of exercise for them to fight against the noble guards. Roland said lightly, "When the envoys who recruited refugees return, Neverwinter will usher in a new population peak, and then it will be able to continue to expand the size of the army." ”

Defeating the king is far from the end, and capturing the Falling Dragon Ridge is only the beginning, if all goes well, he hopes that this year, before the arrival of the evil moon, he can bring the entire extreme south into the territory.

With access to a steady supply of black water, he may be able to push Neverwinter's industrial level to a new level.

Shortly after the Iron Axe retreated, the Nightingale appeared silently in front of Roland.

"Ife wants to see you. ”

......

Looking at the Bloodfang witch slowly walking into the office, Roland felt something change.

Her steps were not as steady as they had been when she first arrived, and her long black hair was a little disheveled, and she was clearly not well taken care of. The wariness and pride on his face faded a little, replaced by a sense of confusion and confusion.

At this time, she is more like a girl who should have a demeanor in line with this age.

Ife bowed first, and was silent for a long time before speaking, "Your Majesty, Maisie used ...... What kind of weapon?"

Roland had already guessed that she would ask, and nodded at the nightingale, who pulled out the revolver rifle from his waist and placed it on the table.

"She uses a gun, and uses gunpowder to propel projectiles to kill enemies," he expertly dismantled the nest and poured out the bullets, "The projectiles against you have been specially modified so that they don't penetrate your body, otherwise you'd have died." ”

Ife's lips quirmed, as if to say something, but finally swallowed back.

Roland picked up a bullet and held it in front of him, "See this, it's not much bigger than a little finger, but producing it requires a very complicated set of steps - hundreds of ordinary townspeople and three witches are involved in the process, and neither of them can be done." And those witches are the non-combat witches you think are useless, do you still think so?"

"I'm ......" she hesitated, and didn't answer for a long time.

Roland didn't give the other party much time to think, and continued, "Maybe they can't directly use their abilities to fight you, but what does this mean? An ordinary person can hardly defeat a ferocious beast with his fists and feet, but in the end, it is still humans who occupy this world, not those beasts." ”

"I prefer to call non-combat witches support witches, who can give new powers to the vast majority of ordinary people through their abilities, like swords and shield-wielding guards - with the help of which humans can easily defeat wild beasts. In a sense, the Auxiliary Witch is greater than the Battle Witch. ”

"But these weapons of yours ...... can play a more powerful role in the hands of the Battle Witch," Iffie whispered.

"This gap is not obvious, at least it can't make or break a war," Roland shook his head, "You can imagine what the odds are when you face ten ordinary warriors who use the same weapons as you? ”

He reassembled the gun and handed it back to Nightingale, "I know you have trouble understanding the fact that humans are greater than beasts because they are able to use their intelligence to create power that this world has never had. Magic is undoubtedly the best tool of all, and you are wasting that talent. He paused for a moment, "By the way, the First Army Reserve will conduct rifle training in the afternoon, and I can arrange for you to visit it, and then you can use your own eyes to observe what real strength is." ”

"Times have changed, Ife. ”

Some readers said that there were too many names of witches to remember clearly, and they wanted the author to list a single chapter to explain them. In fact, you can go to the Baidu Encyclopedia of "Let Go of That Witch" to view, which has a detailed list of witches and a brief introduction to their abilities, which is very detailed.
