......

The gunboat slowly docked at the dock, and Roland stepped out of the cabin, unable to help but be fascinated by the scenery in front of him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The curved rocks stretched out from both sides, enveloping the town like a pair of giant hands, and when you looked up, there was only a line five fingers wide in the sky, and the sunlight poured through this gap like a golden wall of light.

Countless vines and plants drooped down from the bottom of the rock, like emerald green hair, and some of the thick vines even fell to the ground, making people want to climb up with it.

As the light pierces through the dense branches, leaving specks of light on the surface of the flowing river, Roland feels as if he is in the middle of an unexplored jungle. However, the place is not uninhabited, along the silent river, various artificial buildings stretch to both sides, and the townspeople shuttle through the waist-high broad leaves, and the smoke rises one after another, with an indescribable harmony and beauty.

Due to the light, the temperature here is a few degrees lower than outside, and the color of the plants is much richer, so it is not difficult to understand that it is called Glen Town.

Roland and the witches stepped onto the moss-covered docks, where a group of people were already waiting, led by the three who were naturally the commander-in-chief of the First Army, Iron Axe, Duke Calvin of the North, and his daughter Edith.

"We meet again, Your Majesty," Edith curtsied, "and congratulations on winning your first battle." ”

"I've heard the report while I'm on the ship, and it's well done," Roland nodded approvingly, "Listen to Iron Axe, you have ensured adequate food supplies and ammunition transportation, and you have done a good job of luring the enemy. ”

"That's what the Kant family should do," she chuckled, "and the merchants of the Northland will be more than happy to serve you. ”

Half a year ago, however, it was owned by Tifeco Wimbledon, and Roland thought that the merchants had seldom heard of his name. The so-called willingness to serve is also Edith's means - to be able to drive the merchants of the three cities to accomplish this plan, her control over the north is indeed extraordinary.

After some encouragement, he looked at the iron axe, "Have you counted the results of the battle?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," saluted the Iron Axe, "the specific report has been placed in your office. ”

"Office...... room?"

"I've negotiated with Count Hale that his castle will be your residence when you stay in Glen. Edith added, "I have also had the study reorganized, rearranged according to the layout of the border area, and knocked out a sunny wall to install a floor-to-ceiling window, and Miss Maisie said that you like a room that is airy." ”

"Really?" Roland asked with interest, "what about the Count himself?"

"In order not to interfere with your work, he will stay in the mansion in the suburbs. The Northland Pearl paused, "Do you need me to summon him for an audience?"

"No, if he doesn't like to be involved in these affairs," he said, waving his hand, "let's go to the castle first." ”

"Yes, please come with me. ”

This is what power tastes like? Roland smacked his lips, and it was good to experience it once in a while.

......

Walking into the renovated study, he thought he was back in Neverwinter for a while, and even the spacious mahogany table and the coffee table and chaise longue in the corner of the room were recreated. The only striking difference is the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows, one of the grey mountains of desperation, and the other of a secluded valley covered in green leaves.

I don't know how the original owner, Count Haile, will feel after he leaves.

Roland returned to the table and sat down, and began to look through the statistics of the results.

Although he had known about the battle beforehand, he felt a strong sense of excitement when he saw the church's casualty report.

It was definitely a win to remember.

The death of one hundred and fifty-six Divine Punishment Warriors was a fundamental relief from his fears of the Divine Punishment Army—this powerful and fearless killing machine was not invincible, and flesh and blood were still no match for steel and gunpowder. Considering that the Divine Punishment Army needs to be transformed with witch's blood, the number must not be too much, according to Agatha's estimate, as long as the Red Moon does not come, this special army should only exceed fifteen hundred people.

A tenth of the battle damage should be a pain in the flesh of the church for a long time.

In addition, more than 300 Inquisitors were killed, more than 20 were seriously wounded, and four commanders were captured...... These results have become the first to add. Although most of the trial warriors were determined and skilled in combat, they were not much different from knights in essence, and Roland did not take them seriously.

Thankfully, there were no difficult Purifiers in this defensive battle, otherwise it would not have been possible to gain benefits by relying only on Sylvie and Ife. In fact, the machine-gun squads that followed Sylvie's instructions to carry out the focused strikes were used against the pervasive Pure.

"What about the casualties of the First Army?" Roland snapped.

"Two men were killed, and twenty-one were seriously wounded," Iron Axe said in a deep voice, "and all the losses came from throwing spears after the approach of the Divine Punishment Army, and now the wounded have healed and returned to the team." ”

After learning that the church was dispatched, Lightning immediately sent Nanava to the town of Glove Town, and in terms of post-war rescue, Miss Angel's ability is irreplaceable.

Roland tapped on the table, "Arrange for a ship to bring the bodies of the fallen soldiers back to Neverwinter for burial." ”

"Yes. The Iron Axe hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with Danny, the captain of the Fourth Precision Marksmanship?"

"The old Orion who shot the five Divine Punishers?" he took a sip of his teacup, huh...... Even the taste is the best in the palace that he is familiar with, "What do you think?"

During the search and rescue process, the report of Danny and the protector's injured position and arrangement of the position immediately attracted Brian's attention, and at the end of the battle that night, Roland received the news by listening to the sigil, but considering that the battle had just ended, the First Army was still in a celebratory atmosphere, and the protector was seriously injured, he just asked the Iron Axe to take care of the wounded first, and wait until he arrived in Glen to talk about it.

"I think that although Danny violated the rules by leaving the garrison without permission, he also achieved great results, and the single killing of five Divine Punishment Samurai was enough to make him a star in the army, and the two should cancel each other out. Iron Axe said slowly, "In Iron Sand City, such a warrior will also be rewarded by the master, so ......"

"But the First Army is not an old-fashioned army that rewards you on the basis of heads," Roland interrupted, "remember what I taught you in the first training class?"

Iron Axe swallowed, "It's discipline, Your Majesty." ”

"Discipline alone is the foundation of a strong army," he said, standing up and walking to the floor-to-ceiling window, "I hope you will always remember that." Now tell me, what's the right way to dispose of it?"
