That’s Hilarious
Chapter 72: back to Calradia
Roland, who got up the next day, just said hello to the guard who was still at the door, and left the main castle directly.
He didn't choose to say goodbye to Viscount Whitney, and presumably he wouldn't want to see himself again.
In the same position as before, Vicky stood at the window and stared blankly at Roland who was leaving.
She didn't wait for any promise from him, but just left, which made her feel very lost, and at the same time she felt a little shy about yesterday's impulse.
It's just that she doesn't regret doing it. She is afraid that if she doesn't say it again, she may not have the 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 immediately beat the horses and left.
Because it was still early, he didn't plan to recruit people now to slow down his march. It only took them 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. That was his first home in this world, and he also witnessed his beginning from weak to strong.
Because the news that the trolls are no longer harassing spread not long ago, even if Baron Powell issued a recruitment order here, everyone who came could get a certain amount of land. Even so, no one came. A man-eating troll known by word of mouth among the villagers, whose ferocity has overshadowed their thirst for land.
Many people still hold a wait-and-see attitude. In their opinion, this is just the Lord's desire to use their lives to test.
Even though some people were very excited, they all gave up their thoughts under the persuasion of others. Therefore, it is still a military-based stronghold.
There were only some lazy soldiers cultivating, just looking at the shallowly opened soil layer, Roland wanted to laugh.
After Roland saw it, he did not stop there, but took the armored cavalry to open a road along the Calradians and headed directly to the North Fort of Evernight.
They don't need to hide anymore. At least on the surface, they need to purchase some goods and minerals. When Duke Osborn's people come, they can't hide it.
At that time, everyone will know the value of the land here, and I believe that many powerful people will come to invest. Moreover, his power is growing steadily every day, and soon it will not be affected by some secret actions.
As for the challenges from other nobles? Roland is not very worried. The big nobles will not easily set foot on Viscount Whitney's territory. After all, he is also a vassal of the Duke of the North, so face is still to be given.
As for some other minor nobles, according to the game, they can collect ransoms again.
After the baptism of the spring rain, the grass turned green, and young leaves the size of fingernails began to appear on the bare trees.
The roads on the ground are not as full of pits as before. Obviously, someone has been maintaining the roads.
The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, raising some dust. The sound of the horse's hooves startled some birds in the forest. Frightened, they flew to higher branches, tilted their heads, and reflected this group of uninvited guests in their pupils.
The increase in temperature has caused all kinds of animals to start moving in the forest.
Mirron, who got the news as early as yesterday, has been patrolling the road he has opened up with his troops since yesterday.
In the distance, they heard the sound of hoofs, and then saw a human figure.
Mirron who saw Roland and his party had already taken down the helmet, which made Roland see him at a glance. He jumped off his horse and hugged Mirron happily.
"Hahaha... Long time no see, Mirron, how are things going recently?"
"Everything is fine. The newly cultivated land has been planted with wheat seeds yesterday, and it is estimated that they will take root and sprout soon.
During this time, no one was interested in us, and no spies were found..."
After chatting with Mirron, Roland learned about the recent situation.
According to Roland's instructions, and under the auspices of Andal, they recruited all the people who were left behind as soldiers. At the same time, the two strongholds have been replenished with 200 soldiers, and the rest is to wait for Roland to return to replenish the farmers.
As for Calradia now has 500 soldiers, it is barely able to meet the minimum city defense needs under the circumstance 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 leather kite-shaped shields, leather armor and the like.
It's just that the progress of the reclamation of Calradia's 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 sorry for these soldiers, who followed him, not only needed training, but also needed reclamation.
He called those soldiers back, and at the same time recruited 80 farmers to take over the jobs of the soldiers, but this time, he also recruited 20 women.
These women will be in charge of the diet and the kitchen, because it is the food made by men~www.wuxiaspot.com~ which inherits their usual style, which is rough, tasteless, and can only fill the stomach.
He intends to improve the soldiers' meals. He has a deep understanding of the roughness of men's cooking. The difference in saltiness is enough to test people.
During the meal break, Roland told Mirron about the harvest of the trip, and at the same time reminded him to be careful of revenge from the Whitney family.
Because this is the closest distance to the outside world along the road, of course the enemy may choose to march from the forest, but considering the logistical supply problem, this possibility is too small.
Although according to the current number of nearly a thousand soldiers, Roland is not afraid of Viscount Whitney's revenge, because he has no more than a few hundred soldiers at most.
It is impossible for Viscount Whitney to mobilize all the soldiers to attack, and it is equally impossible for him to mobilize all the soldiers to fight him head-on.
Viscount Whitney 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, or even a war with too many casualties is not worth doing. Of course, if you face a life-and-death struggle against an alien race, you must go all out.
It's just that the immediate priority is to find the gap in the Hengduan Mountains, and 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 to defend against the unknown enemy.
Roland took Mirron with him when he left, and went to Yongye South Fort with Andal, and asked them to hand over the work to the deputy they trained, because they had a banquet tonight and they had to be present.
Celebrating all the goals they had set for Duke Osborn, and for their new companion, Fox.
and discuss future development plans.
