It's winter again, and the land of Alto is covered with frost and ice, and the territory is full of cars and horses, and this newly established trade route is busy from the beginning to the end of the year.

Frededo was a trustworthy old merchant, and every month since his first trade in Miller Town, he would arrive at the docks of Miller Town on time with a large merchant fleet, bringing Alto a steady supply of horses, cattle, sheep, and iron.

As Dimis feared, Miller's importation of trading horses had already been thought out of the way forward. After a dozen deals, Miller opened up a number of new ranches in Alto's territory, leaving some of the horses and cows sold in Alto's own ranch and starting to raise them on Alto's own ranch. As long as the horses in the pasture accumulate to a certain number, these pastures can provide a steady stream of war horses for Dragon City on a small scale in the future.

Hearing that Alto's territory was changing day by day, Prince Railton finally couldn't help it, and he came to Alto to inspect with Duke Thatcher, and watched Caldis's proud achievements in governing the territory.

The walls and houses of Alto's new town gave Railton a new look, and he pointed to the newly built Alto town and said, "What kind of town is this, it's a big city for my knight." Lord Caldis, in the future, this place will be called Alto New Town, don't call it a small town, I thought it was really just a small town. ”

Everyone laughed together, and Old Duke Thatcher touched his beard and nodded and smiled proudly. He felt that he had not been wrong, and that the prince left behind in the kingdom was indeed a very wise decision to boldly promote Caldis.

Accompanied by Caldis and his entourage, the prince visited the houses of the people, the vegetable gardens in the city and the crops outside the city, as well as the pastures for horses and cows near the mountains of the territory. In order to appreciate the effect of the governance of Alto's territory, Railton personally drank a few sips of freshly squeezed milk from the pasture, and he laughed heartily in praise.

Later, under Caldis's arrangement, the prince was accompanied into the mountains for a great hunt to celebrate, and then went to the town of Miller to visit the wharf and the fishing boats of the people.

Prince Railton felt so good about the newly renovated Wharf Miller Town that he stayed in the town for three days in a row.

One morning, in a courtyard in the town, the prince got up early to practice his sword, and defeated ten guards in a row in one go, which was amazing to watch.

However, Prince Railton did not like the flattery of everyone, and he was not very satisfied with his swordsmanship. To test how good he had been in his swordsmanship, he begged Cook, the champion of the tournament, to step forward for advice.

Cook was surprised, he didn't expect the prince to ask him by name, and he didn't know whether he and the prince should retain a little strength or go all out when they fought against the sword.

But soon Caldis reminded Cook and said: "Cook, His Royal Highness doesn't like to deceive, you can be whatever you want, as long as you don't hurt Your Highness." ”

Cook said happily, "Don't worry, I know what to do." ”

Under the gaze of everyone, Cook drew the long sword at his waist and sparred it with Prince Railton.

However, Robit was shocked to see such a scene, which seemed familiar to him, which reminded him of the plot of the duel between himself and Bross.

After a few rounds, when he saw that the long sword in Railton's hand was shocked to the ground by Cook, Robit was the first to fall to his knees in shock, and pleaded with Prince Railton: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Cook is the champion of my Dragon City Knight Competition, and the long sword in his hand is already infinitely powerful, and if you offend the prince, please ask His Royal Highness the prince to forgive Lord Cook." ”

The others then knelt down with Robit, and no one dared to say anything.

Who knew that Prince Railton touched his numb palm, slowly walked up to Robit, stretched out his hand to help Robit, and smiled happily: "What is this doing, everyone, get up quickly." I'm Railton, not Bruce. I said that I would let Lord Count Cook test my swordsmanship, and Lord Count was willing to use his strength to teach me, and it was too late for me to be happy. ”

Hearing His Royal Highness the Prince say this, everyone stood up with relief, causing everyone to have a false alarm.

Then the prince turned to his chief guard and said, "In the future, I will change a few powerful people to practice with me in the morning, otherwise my swordsmanship will never improve, and if I don't fight with Lord Earl Cook, I really don't know how clumsy my swordsmanship is." ”

The chief of the guard bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness the Prince." ”

Cook looked a little embarrassed, and he replied shyly: "Actually, His Royal Highness the Prince's swordsmanship is already very powerful, and to a certain extent, with your current ability, you are fully qualified for the position of Knight Captain." ”

If it was according to the rules of the previous kingdom, Cook compared the prince to a small knight, it would be a great disrespect to His Royal Highness.

But the young Prince Railton was delighted when he heard this, and he said with ecstasy: "Really, that's great, I always thought I was not even as good as the chief of the guard." ”

At this time, Caldis calmly persuaded: "Your Royal Highness, I hope you can keep in mind the lessons we learned in Yuguan, as the heir to the throne of our Knights, if you don't have to, you must not think about participating in the battle yourself." If you can show us a bright path to defeat the barbarians under your command and rebuild the lost land, you will be the return of a new generation of kings of our knights. ”

Railton frowned and looked at Caldis, nodded very sincerely, and said, "Well, Lord Caldis's words woke me up. My father was too impulsive to think that he would be able to turn the tide by personally leading the army to participate in the Battle of Yuguan, but as soon as my father died, my knight kingdom was tragically destroyed, bringing great disasters to our Knight people. Rest assured, this will never happen to me. ”

Caldis nodded silently, and the prince's answer made him very satisfied, and he was convinced that with the prince's attitude and bearing, it would be a matter of time before the knights rebuilt the kingdom.

At this time, Thatcher touched his beard and said with a smile: "What Lord Duke Caldis said is good, but when I look at His Royal Highness the Prince now, I feel that His Royal Highness the Prince has been resurrected as the king of our Knights." ”

Everyone praised it like this, and Le Derelton smiled from ear to ear, and he waved his hand again and again and said, "Don't don't, I'm nothing, I'm far from the real king." We need to get rid of the old habits of the kingdom, whatever they want, and stop bragging, I really don't like that. Or Duke Caldis to be honest, I prefer to hear it, we just want to tell the truth, don't come back to these false things. ”

After saying that, Prince Railton pointed to the dock outside and continued: "What is the most real, this dock is the best example. No matter who says it, but you can't get good results, you can't make good improvements, these are all false. If you look at this wharf, it can also dock more than a dozen large merchant ships, and it is because of this wharf that our Dragon City is now constantly importing horses, and we nobles have also drunk fresh milk and eaten delicious seafood. ”

Saying this, Railton turned to everyone and said, "I still remember that more than a year ago, our entire Dragon City people were starving. The refugees had nothing to eat, and I could only nibble on a few bites of sweet potatoes a day. But now it's different, and we're living better today than we were in the kingdom before, at least we have fresh seafood and milk every day, which we couldn't have imagined before. ”

"That's right!" , Thatcher smiled and pandered: "His Royal Highness the prince said very well, and the criticism is very right." We really have to be pragmatic in the future, especially like Lord Caldis, who never brags or speaks, and always proves everything with actions. ”

Prince Railton glanced at Thatcher, then turned to Caldis and said, "But although we are living well now, we must not forget the responsibility on our shoulders, because the barbarians are still oppressing our people in our lost lands, and it is time for us to find their barbarians to settle the score." I'm going to tell you about our plan today, in March of next year, our Dragon City army will set out to launch an all-out counterattack against the barbarians before the new army arrives. ”

Thatcher shouted excitedly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it is our turn to take revenge." ”

The others followed Thatcher's excited chants and praised the prince's wisdom, but Caldis frowned and questioned Prince Rearton's decision.

After Prince Railton happily set off to return to Dragon City, Miller was the first to ask: "Is this prince crazy, we finally settled down, and he can't help but launch a counterattack?" Our territory, this plan, that's a long-term consideration, and it's completely unreasonable to attack in an all-out way now. ”

Robit sneered and said, "The prince is really a young man, hot-blooded, I'm afraid that he has been planning this decision for a long time, and he can't change it if he wants to." ”

After hearing this, Cook asked Robitt and said, "Big Brother Robit, do you also think that we shouldn't attack so quickly?" ”

Robit nodded, and he replied, "The training of the Knights takes at least two years, and it has only been a year now, so the time is too rushed. ”

Cook said in distress: "Yes, yesterday I talked to Miller alone about this until late, and I think it is difficult for us to win in this way." ”

However, Caldis spoke: "Time is very tight for both the enemy and us, we have trained the knights, and the new army of the barbarian knights is basically in place, and then we will face more barbarian armies." I don't dare say that Prince Railton's decision was necessarily right, but with the wisdom of His Royal Highness, he should have considered these things a long time ago. ”

Miller smiled and asked, "What?" Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Ralleton has already had a private conversation with the Duke? Can you tell us about it? ”

Caldis looked around, and then motioned for a few people to walk together to a ditch where there was no one, and then he said to everyone: "His Royal Highness did not ask us to go and fight the barbarians immediately, but in his plan, we feinted to attack the royal capital and Vidun, but actually used all our strength to seize the fortress of Yuguan. Then they sent heavy troops to hold the fortress and completely cut off the connection between the Warkas Crusade army and their empire. In this way, Warkas's crusade army will not be supplied and supported by the Empire, and he will soon be devoured by the people of Knight who are attacking him, and even if the people do not bring them any loss, they will sooner or later be eaten by our Dragon City army. ”

"Oh!" Miller nodded again and again and said: "Yes, this strategy is indeed very unique, but it may be difficult to implement." How stunning is Prince Navakas, how can he not think of the importance of Yuguan Fortress? ”

Cook retorted, "But for Warkass, the territory of Widun and the royal capital are equally important, how many troops can he have to protect so many places?" ”

Miller replied stunned: "Well, you have a point in saying that, they still have to watch out for the Nila and Beijung, and they can't easily move the garrison on the Cobilon side." If we go to attack Vitun and the royal capital, this Warkas will definitely shrink his forces and defend the territory of Vedun on all fronts, so that there will definitely be a relaxation on the side of the Yuguan fortress. ”

Caldis shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, it depends on the development of the war situation." If we can't push forward quickly and give Warkas enough time to rearm, it will be very difficult for Yuseki to win. ”

After speaking, everyone fell silent, as if they felt that this battle really needed to be tried seriously.

In any case, Prince Railton was able to come up with such a bold battle plan, which proves that His Royal Highness is by no means a man of inaction. Whether he is really resurrected by the prince depends on the prince's performance in major decisions in the future.
