That's very badass

Chapter 72 Back to Calradia
When Roland got up the next day, he just said hello to the guard who was still guarding the door, and then left the main castle.

He didn't choose to bid farewell to Viscount Whitnet, and presumably he would never want to see himself again.

In the same position as before, Vicky stood at the window and stared blankly at Roland who left.

She didn't wait for any promise from him, but just left, which made her feel very disappointed, and at the same time felt a little shy about yesterday's impulse.

It's just that she didn't regret doing that, she was afraid that if she didn't say anything, maybe there would be no next chance.

Because her father would not allow him to marry Roland.

He came to the barracks, called his own people, and a group of people rode away directly.

Because it was still early, he didn't plan to recruit people now to slow down his marching speed. It took them only half a day to reach the edge of the Evernight Forest.

Looking at the stronghold that once belonged to him, Roland felt a little emotional in his heart. It was his first home in this world, and it also witnessed his beginning from being weak to being strong.

Because the news that the trolls were no longer harassing spread not long after, even though Baron Powell issued a recruitment order here, all those who came could get a certain amount of land, even so, no one came.The man-eating trolls of the villagers were rumored to have outstripped their hunger for the land with their ferocity.

Many people still hold a wait-and-see attitude. In their view, this is just the lord's intention to use their lives to test it.

Even though some people were very moved, they gave up their thoughts under the persuasion of others.So this is still a military-based stronghold.

There were only some lazy soldiers who were digging up the land one after another. Just looking at the shallowly opened soil layer, Roland wanted to laugh.

After seeing it, Roland did not stay any longer. Instead, he led the mounted cavalry along the road opened by the Calradians and headed directly to the North Castle of Evernight.

They no longer need to hide. At least on the surface, they need to purchase some goods and minerals. After the Duke of Osborne's people come, they can't hide.

At that time, everyone will know the value of the land here, and I believe that many capable people will come to invest.Moreover, his power is growing steadily every day, and soon it will no longer be affected by some small secret actions.

As for challenges from other nobles?Roland wasn't very worried. The big nobles probably wouldn't easily set foot in Viscount Whitnet's territory. After all, he was also a vassal of the Duke of the North, so he still had to give face.

As for the other minor nobles, according to the game, they can accept ransom again.

After experiencing the baptism of spring rain, the grass turned green, and the bare trees began to have nail-sized young leaves.

The road on the ground is not as full of pits as before. Obviously someone has been maintaining the road
The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, raising some dust. The sound of the horse's hooves startled some birds in the forest. They were frightened and flew to higher branches, tilting their heads, and the group of uninvited guests were reflected in their pupils.

As the temperature rose, all kinds of animals began to move around in the forest.

Mirron, who had received the news yesterday, has personally led the troops to patrol the opened road since yesterday.

From a distance, they heard the sound of horseshoes, and then saw a figure.

Mirron, who saw Roland and his party, had already taken off his helmet, which allowed Roland to see him at a glance.He jumped off the horse and hugged Mirron happily.

"Hahaha, long time no see, Mirron. How are things going lately?"

"Everything is fine, the newly reclaimed land was planted with wheat seeds yesterday, and it is estimated that they will take root and sprout in a short time.

During this period of time, no one was interested in us, and no spies were found."

After chatting with Milon, Roland knew the latest situation.

According to Roland's instructions, and under the auspices of Andal, they recruited all the civilian men left before as soldiers.At the same time, the two strongholds have already been replenished with 200 soldiers, and the rest is waiting for Roland to come back to replenish the farmers.

As for Calradia, which now has 500 soldiers, it can barely meet the minimum needs of city defense under the condition of changing shifts.

In addition to blacksmiths, various craftsmen have also accumulated a lot of items, most of which are military supplies for the war; such as skinned kite-shaped shields, leather armor and the like.

It's just that the reclamation progress of the Calradia fields is very slow, but there is no way to do it, after all, they lack a lot of manpower.

The two walked while talking, and soon came to the stronghold, watching some soldiers continue to cultivate.Roland frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for these soldiers. They followed him and needed not only training, but also cultivation.

He called back those soldiers, and at the same time recruited 80 farmers to take over the work of the soldiers. Only this time, he also recruited 20 women.

These women will be in charge of the food and kitchen, because it is actually the food made by men, which inherits their usual style, that is, rough, tasteless, and can only fill the stomach.

He intends to improve the food for the soldiers, and he has a deep understanding of the roughness of men's cooking, and the difference in saltiness and mildness is enough to test people.

During the meal break, Roland told Milon all the gains of the trip, and at the same time reminded him to be careful of revenge from the Whitnet family.

Because this is the shortest distance from the outside world along the road, of course the enemy may choose to march through the forest, but considering the problem of logistics supplies, this possibility is really too small.

Although according to the current number of nearly a thousand soldiers, Roland is not afraid of Viscount Whinette's revenge, because he only has hundreds more soldiers than him at most.

It was impossible for Viscount Whinette to mobilize all the soldiers to attack, and it was equally impossible for him to mobilize all the soldiers for a head-on confrontation with him.

Viscount Whinette needs to leave enough soldiers to maintain the territory, and he also needs to guard against possible enemies, even orcs.

A war that cannot be won by fighting, even a war with too many casualties is not worth doing. Of course, if you are facing a life-and-death struggle with other races, you must go all out.

It's just that the current top priority is to find the gap in the Hengduan Mountains. This problem must be solved as soon as possible, because he has dragged on for too long and wasted too much energy of the soldiers defending against unknown enemies.

Roland took Miron with him when he left, and went to Yongye Nanbao to take Andal with him, and asked them to hand over the work to the deputy he had trained, because they had to be present at the banquet tonight.

Celebrating all the goals they had set for the Duke of Osborne, and also for their new companion, Fox.

And discuss future development plans.

　Thank you for the sting of the abyss, stay away from that dragon for the reward, thank you
