"Your Highness, don't worry, just leave the rest to Simon and me. Ford patted his chest, "If the enemy can enter our territory, I'll see you!"

Although the Ford Knight is usually short-tempered and likes to joke, he can still be trusted in this critical moment.

"Ford, don't rush to pack your tickets, it's not too late for me to talk about tactics first. Simon patted Ford on the shoulder.

"This tactics and traditional tactics inspired me by Lord Carolen's previous words, and I tried to change my thinking about the battle. First of all, I decided that artillery would be the main defensive force in this battle, and that the Guards units would be tasked with replenishing guns, clearing out remnants, covering artillery attacks, and fighting with bayonets in hand-to-hand combat.

"I have a hunch that the cannon will be a representative of the ordinary and the transcendent, and in terms of power alone, the power of a cannonball is equivalent to a forbidden spell magic, at least the power of elven magic or dragon magic is there. Simon hugged his shoulders and said in a solemn tone.

"According to the power of the cannons, I plan to put six cannons on this hill, condescendingly take advantage of the terrain to strike at the enemy, and then send a battalion of Guards soldiers to be stationed at the foot of the hill to defend these cannons. Ford also became serious at this time, pointing at the sand table, and his command ability was not weak.

"The other six cannons are arranged by me, and I intend to put three cannons on the front line, adjust them to the form of cannons with straight ballistics, and fire solid iron bullets to kill and wound the enemy troops rushing forward in order to boost the morale of our army, and the three cannons are placed on a hillside not far from the Ersor Mountains, and the maximum range will hit the enemy's rear, cutting off their retreat and breaking the arrogance of the mob. Simon replied, pointing to the predetermined position of the front line, and then to a small hillside near the Ersor Mountains.

"The safety of our Remlos Castle depends entirely on the two of you. Arthas came at this time and sighed, facing a million troops, he was still a little uncertain in his heart, but he could only trust Simon and Ford's command ability.

"Now that the tactics have been decided, let's go back and prepare, everyone must go all out and go to the national disaster together! It's only been four or five months, and we have encountered countless difficulties, big and small, many of which have destroyed the city, but we have overcome them, I believe that this time, everyone will not be bad, as long as I am still the lord, I will never let the enemy attack our city again!" Murphy encouraged a little, slightly relieving everyone's nervousness.

Simon and Ford gave a military salute and retreated, presumably hurrying to the barracks to transfer troops.

Bruno has to maintain law and order in the city and train the police force, so he is also very busy now, and the army is about to overwhelm the situation, so he needs to stabilize the situation in the city and control the rumors.

Arthas has always been very busy, around his transcendent physique is exhausted, coming to the meeting is also a busy time, he has complained to Murphy more than once that there are too few city hall officials, but now there is no way to recruit officials, can only trouble him to be a little more tired.

The director of the Coal Bureau, Boval Furtagen, also rushed back and stepped up the pace of bituminous coal development, trying to keep up with the speed of blast furnace steelmaking.

At this time, there were only three people left in Murphy's study, Murphy, Philip, and Marshall.

"Marshall, what else do you have to do?" asked Murphy, confused.

"Your Highness, I'm a little curious how you can build several forts on the side of the South Gate Pass in a few days?" Marshall's face was full of curiosity, and he felt that he had found a business opportunity.

"Oh, that's it! That's a new invention that needs your help. Murphy patted his head and pulled Marshall to Carolen's house.

"Why are you here? Don't you see me busy? Tell me something!" said Carolen, who was stirring up a pile of unknown gray paste.

"Come on, come on, don't be busy, and tell our financial officer about our new invention. Murphy cleared out two benches and pulled Marshall to sit down.

"Hey, wait a minute, I'm done with this. Carolon said that she didn't want to deal with the two of them, and she was mixing up the big pot of gray matter on her own.

"Now, you've got enough of the fortress you're going to build, I'll save it for you with magic first, and this thing has to be poured quickly, otherwise it won't be easy to get when it's hard when the time comes." Carolon stopped the circle in her hand and put away the large pot of paste.

"Without further ado, let's go! The steel mill has already finished its orders, and the necessary steel is ready. Murphy nodded, then suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip, and slapped his head, "I also said that I want to introduce it to our financial officer, let's talk on the way." ”

Before Marshall could react, Murphy pulled him and Carolin into the carriage.

From the castle in the center of the city to the South Gate Pass ten kilometers outside the city, it takes nearly an hour to walk by horse-drawn carriage, and Remlos Fort is a county anyway, and a radius of forty or fifty kilometers belongs to Murphy's sphere of influence, but the core area is still within these ten kilometers.

Murphy and Carolon alternately explained the concepts of "cement" and "concrete" to Marshall, and Marshall was stunned and a little skeptical at the same time.

How could a stone house be built in less than a few days? If there were building materials of this material, it would be a big earthquake for all walks of life!

"Your Highness, this is not realistic, is it?" It's not that Marshall doesn't believe the Murphys, it's just that what he heard today is a bit counterintuitive.

Compared to previous things, such as cannons, muskets, and explosives, Marshall felt that the so-called concrete was even more incomprehensible.

"Believe me, Marshall, I, Mr. Carolen, and Mr. Rochebas, all three of us have seen the effects of this thing, and we have been busy with reforms before, and I forgot to tell you about this thing. Murphy spread his hands, and then, surrounded by the guards, ascended the hill.

"Your Highness, are you here? The steel bar over there is ready, and this concrete is missing. Knight Collin, the head of the fort's construction, walked towards Murphy with his sword in his hand, and he was dressed in a knight's heavy armor that symbolized his status, and at this time he was wearing only a cotton coat, buttoning a cotton hat in the style of a Tarkit, and holding a half-sword hanging from his waist, like a Tarquet.

Knight Colin was sent by Murphy to work on the construction of the fort, and as such, he was one of the few people who had seen the miraculous effects of concrete.

"The concrete is here, show our treasurer, Lord Marshall, this amazing mud. As soon as Murphy beckoned, a magic circle suddenly appeared in Carolen's hand, and more than a dozen animal skin bags fell to the ground, containing concrete that had officially allowed Carolon to mix the proportions.

"Then Lord Marshall, beware! This is going to be another new thing that turns the world upside down. Colin smiled slightly, beckoned a group of workers, "Come on, pour the contents of these bags into the bucket!"
