Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

The shock brought by the steam train lasted for a long time, and those nobles who had originally planned to leave after congratulating Roland on his birth had to change their plans.

Although they don't understand trains, they know the huge potential of this thing. Given this, who wouldn't want to have this "magic weapon" in their territory?

So in the next few days, the nobles consulted Swamp Castle for relevant information to see if they could build a train and a few railways in their own territories.

Such business talks were still chaired by Chahar, but Luo Ning was also present.

Things like railway lines need to be led from top to bottom and have unified planning.

But the nobles here are equivalent to small countries. If a line passes through the territory of Noble A, and one day this noble takes the wrong medicine and cuts the railroad tracks, the impact will be very great.

Before Luo Ning unified these places, he naturally had to negotiate the terms and agree on the responsibilities of both parties. If someone deliberately destroyed them, they would have to bear the corresponding consequences.

Of course, Roning didn't do all this for free.

Although the steam locomotive was in his hands, other nobles did not need to worry about this matter, but when it came to the railways within their territories, they would have to pay for it out of their own pockets.

The labor costs, the costs of various materials such as steel and sleepers, plus the costs of Wu Beiling's professional technical team, would definitely cost more than 100,000 gold coins.

In addition, after the railway is put into operation, transportation fees and other fees will need to be paid to the Ukrainian government.

Therefore, when it comes to the issue of money, 90% of the nobles back off.

Roning had known this would happen, so he did not expect all the nobles to be able to join in this huge project of railway construction.

He focused his attention on those nobles whose territories had mines and had huge demands for transportation.

After a few days of discussion, except for Rulans who fully supported it, the other nobles said very cautiously that they would go back and think carefully and give a reply as soon as possible.

Luo Ning could also understand it, after all, this was a big project.

But he also realized that if he wanted to lay railways in various places, he needed to take the lead from top to bottom.

As long as a railway is decided to pass through a noble territory, it can pass through, and the nobles there should not have the right to refuse.

Fortunately, there is no rush now. Let’s first build the railway from Wubeiling to Wushanbao, as well as the branch lines along the way.

Other nobles can take their time to consider it.

After the lively celebration, Swamp Castle returned to its former tranquility.

In addition to taking care of Roland every day, Roning started tinkering with concrete. The high-quality clay from West Wind Hill and the limestone from Stone City could be used together, and the new type of building material could also be used in the construction of Wubei City and Wubei Castle.

In addition to these things, Ronin would also receive letters from other members of the War Council. For example, if the Knights of the Prideful Sun appeared among the enemies faced by Vargis and Iben, Ronin would be there to deal with these troubles for them.

As for the front and eastern battlefields, even though the Knights of the Prideful Sun have appeared, they can be dealt with by relying on Ridal and McKen.

After some consumption, Ronin's army suffered relatively small losses, but Vargis and Ibn suffered relatively large losses.

Although they won in the end and continued to occupy the territories that originally belonged to the Principality of Ferensburg and the Principality of Blackthorn, they were not growing as fast as Ronin and Rulans.

In the following two years of war, Ronin found that although the Kingdom of Tricia was still resisting in stages, there were fewer and fewer strong people appearing on the battlefield.

This strong person refers to the eighth and ninth level extraordinary people.

Often after a war, the strongest force on the opposing side is only the Golden Knight.

Although the number of golden knights is quite large, they can't cause much trouble.

It seems that since Thranduil's death, the opponent's ability to mass-produce strong men has been sharply reduced, and it is completely unable to keep up with the consumption rate of strong men on the four battlefields.

Above the city of Bacchus, Ronin and Redal stood in the air, watching the fierce battle going on below.

"The power that the Flame Seal Knight on the opposite side has exploded should be close to the Meteor Level."

Ridar pointed to the battle group on the lower right and introduced: "However, we only need one gold knight and two silver knights to cast the flaming battle formation to take him down!"

Luo Ning looked over and saw that the three of them were working closely together, and there was always a sense of coordination between their actions.

The special secret book of cultivation, coupled with the assistance of external objects and a series of training, gave them a sense of harmony.

With three people surrounding him, the enemy's Flame Seal Knight was already at the end of his strength.

"That golden knight seems to be Joffrey?" Ronin asked.

Rydar laughed, "Yes, sir. Two years of war have made Joffrey's strength advance by leaps and bounds. He has now reached the late gold level. Next to him is Baburin. Although he has only become a silver not long ago, he has the potential to serve as a garrison officer, sheriff, and the like."

Joffrey and Babbling both came from the savage tribe. It is a legendary experience for them to have achieved what they have today.

In fact, thanks to Roning's allocation of resources to his old subordinates to improve their potions, many of them have made good progress in the past two years.

For example, Rogna, Damon, Tom, etc., but the strongest among them is Karada, who is now the Meteor Knight.

While the two were talking, the war below had ended.

At this point, the three large cities, five medium-sized cities and more than a dozen small towns between Misty City and Dragon City to the south were all in Ronin's possession.

"Going south from Bacchus City is the Great Dragon Avenue. At the end of this road of more than 60 miles is the capital of the Kingdom of Tricia, the Great Dragon City."

Looking to the south from high in the sky, Roning could vaguely see the outline of Dragon City.

In fact, the intensity of the war in the past six months has not been high, mainly because the enemy's army has completely lost its morale.

If it weren't for Taro's monetary incentives and the threat of their loved ones' lives, this group of people would have dropped their weapons and given up resistance long ago.

Even in the city of Bacchus, which is the bridgehead of Dragon City, the opponent's guarding force is far less strong than in the battle of Misty City.

"Sir, when are we going to attack Dragon City?" Riedal said with some anticipation.

Luo Ning pondered slightly.

Now his magician level has reached (57327/60000), and it will only take four months to cross the legendary level and become a sage.

We have waited for two years, there is no need to rush.

"Before the spring plowing next year."

Luo Ning said: "It just so happens that the war in the Principality of Vera will end in September or October, and we can just join forces then."

Vera Castle was occupied by Rulans and McKen a year ago, and they continued to attack other cities eastwards during the following period.

In addition to McKen, Karada's fleet has bypassed the Principality of Vera and set foot on the land of the Kingdom of Tricia from the south. It has now occupied two small towns and achieved good results.

Rydar nodded, "You are still as steady as ever towards Dragon City."

Luo Ning couldn't help but laugh.

Now Harmon's intelligence system has spread throughout Dragon City, and Roning can accurately grasp what happened in the palace.

During the past two years, he had been waiting for the opportunity for Yan Yi to leave the palace so that he could launch a blitzkrieg with Redal and behead the other party.

It’s a pity that the other party, whether out of cowardice or prudentness, has not stepped out of the palace for two years and has been firmly guarding the formation.

Harmon didn't know much about Flame Wing, so in order to avoid any accidents, Roning gave up the radical strategy.

Nowadays, this method and rhythm of conquering and governing a city is quite good.

Moreover, as the war prolonged, the reputation of Roning's arrogant and brave generals spread, and his prestige was established and at its peak.

Although the War Council still exists, both Varghis and Ibn have completely handed over the decision-making power.

Unconsciously, the operation of the Kingdom of Alduin has come to depend entirely on Ronin's will.
