It wasn't until Roland sat down that everyone bowed down.

From that remote town to today's rapidly expanding core city, he has become a banner in everyone's hearts – and Roland felt it clearly in the eyes of the attendees. Unlike in the past, when they stood on the stage of the primary school class to speak or explained the plan to Party A, they were not only listening, but also preparing.

- Prepare to carry out every next intent and order he makes.

This is exactly the team he has accumulated three years after he came to this world, and he feels a heartfelt satisfaction rising in his heart when he thinks of the lonely figure in the castle at the beginning, and the ridicule and ridicule of the local nobles.

So Roland got straight to the point, "Neverwinter must not allow the devil to take root on the Fertile Plains, especially so close to the border - although the enemy came a little early, our pace is not slowing down, and the places of Grey Keep are now largely calm, and we can fully spare our hands to concentrate on them." He paused, looked around, and said word by word, "Driving the devil out of the ruins of Tachira is the next goal to be done with all our might." Do you have any questions?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone said in unison.

Even Barov, who was most apprehensive about the invasion, did not raise any objections - the rapid development of Neverwinter was based on stable order and popular confidence, a city blessed by a powerful king, and a territory that had never been invaded by war, which were the main factors that attracted the exiles. If the devil used Tachira as a stronghold and constantly harassed Wudong, causing panic among the people and even causing them to flee, it would be impossible to talk about future development. The eastern and southern borders, which have been abandoned by successive wars for the king, are the best proof of this.

"Then let's talk about the specific plan, and all departments can speak if they have ideas. ”

"Your Majesty, I think the most important thing at the moment is to move the property to the north as soon as possible," Barov was the first to get up and replied, "If the devil invades the West, the first people to be affected will be those who are not protected by the walls. Even after the construction of the new city walls, grazing cattle and sheep can interfere with the formation of your army, as was the example of the previous city-wide guard. Speaking of this, he glanced at Wendy, "Due to the closure of the city gates, the transportation of wheat seeds and various forest resources has been blocked, but fortunately, with the full operation of the town hall, the impact has been minimized." ”

Roland had already learned about this from the letter, and when the old manager mentioned it again, he couldn't help but look at Wendy, and found that the latter's face was calm, and there was no intention of arguing, and it was obvious that the sentence "I am fully responsible" was not an angry sentence.

"Wheat seeds, mushrooms and other resources can be brought into the city from the west side of the Chishui River by paddle steamer, but the mines on the northern slope cannot be relocated, and the reconstruction of the furnace area is too expensive to generalize. He thought for a moment and said, "These places will be fortified, so that they will have the power to resist in the event of a surprise attack by the dinosaurs." In addition, I did not elaborate on the warning, but now I have made it clear that the evacuation during martial law is only for the people who are still wandering in the streets, markets, etc., and not for the entire population - from today onwards, I demand that factories not be shut down until I give a new directive. ”

"That'...... I'll count the industries that can be relocated and I'll give you a look. Probably realizing that Roland did not want to be held responsible, Barov immediately changed his tune.

"By the way, the new land is also planned," Roland tapped on the map behind him, "the threat in the snowy mountains has been eliminated, and the western area can be exploited - as long as the leaves are there, the Hidden Forest is a natural barrier to the left." ”

On the map, the dense Hidden Forest resembles an inverted triangle, occupying a small half of the wilderness. Its apex is located in the Snowy Mountains of the West, one side stretches north along the base of the mountain to the Dragon's Back Mountains, and the other runs along the Chishui River to the border of Neverwinter—the two ends are connected to form a large buffer zone. To put it simply, if you cut the wilderness into three parts, the leftmost part is the forest area, and the right two parts correspond to the winterless grassland and the desperate mountains.

The area under Yezi's control now covers the entire western section of the Chishui River, so the safety of the cement fleet can be ensured, whether it is transporting coal mines or forest resources.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Barov also knew this, and quickly responded.

"Your Majesty, I think that the origin of the devils should be made known to the people as soon as possible," Wendy began, "otherwise they will easily cause panic when they suddenly appear in front of everyone." And you often say that propaganda is the most important part of governance, and if we don't control it, it is very likely to be exploited by some people with bad intentions. ”

"I agree with that," Elfis echoed through the curtain of light, "though mortals are very limited, they are all a force, at least better than nothing. Besides, fear is like a whip, it is often intimidating, and when it is wielded properly, it can push people forward. 」

Originally, the propaganda work would be carried out after the unification of the Grey Keep and the accession to the throne of the king, but the early appearance of the devil disrupted this plan. Roland threw this task to Barov as well, "The content of the propaganda and how to publicize it is up to you to draw it up." To grasp the degree well, it is necessary to make the people understand that the devil is the mortal enemy of mankind, and we will not give up until they are destroyed, and it is also necessary to emphasize that they are like evil beasts, they seem to be hideous and terrifying, and they are no different in the face of guns. ”

"As for those who take advantage of the situation to spread rumors and make trouble," Roland sneered twice, and looked at the two heads of the police department, Vader and Wren Dmied, "You don't need to be reminded of what you should do. ”

The two hurriedly lowered their heads, "Of course, Your Majesty." ”

After determining the wartime order of Neverwinter and the relevant plans, Pasha mentioned the most important question for everyone, "How do you plan to attack the demons near the ruins of Tachira?"

"The safest way is to set up artillery positions and destroy their Red Mist supply devices from a distance," Roland roughly measured the map with his finger, "The Fortress Cannon produced now has a range of more than ten kilometers, and if it is slightly improved, it can be farther - without the Red Mist, the devil left behind is only a dead end." ”

This is not his boast, the first generation of fortress guns, due to the conditions of use and transportation, except for the glorious caliber of 152 mm, other standards are far from 152. Even if the barrel, gun carriage and other parts are not modified, only the medicine chamber is enlarged, and the whole ammunition is replaced with a reload, which can immediately make the range go to a higher level.

"I see, the Taqira Witch is willing to carve out this territory for you. 」

Undoubtedly, the most active in the battle of the Divine Will in the chamber were the Tachira faction, and as long as they could defeat the devil, they didn't mind taking the lead.

"But there are a few key issues that need to be solved to achieve this," Roland shook his head, "and it will be difficult for us to stand firm under the devil's offensive without adequate preparation." He withdrew his hand and flicked it at the location of the North Slope mine, "And the first thing to solve is the transportation problem." ”
