"Qin, Linda, Xia Qiya, and all the warriors, welcome you back in triumph. ”

In addition to Alice, there were also the well-dressed Chief of the General Staff Harra's and the regimental commander Monko, as well as a group of soldiers with loaded guns and straight waists.

"Commander, welcome Triumph!"

Under the leadership of Harald, the warriors saluted neatly, all of them were brave and tempered warriors in previous battles, and belonged to the elite of the elite.

Qin Song bowed slightly, which was regarded as a response, before he came to Alice, looked at the sassy short hair that was trimmed, and the pretty face full of pleasure, and smiled lightly: "Alice, listen to Liya, in the past few days when I am away, you don't seem to be very obedient, and you don't rest for a few days and nights." ”

There was ridicule in the tone, and more intimacy, Alice's cheeks flushed slightly, and she spit out a playful lilac tongue: "How can it be so exaggerated, it's just a little late." ”

Only Alice can use this almost coquettish tone in front of Qin.

"Is it just a little bit?" Qin Song's eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of distress, he knew Alice too well, and the problem of propeller waterproofing had always bothered her: "You, stay up too late, your brain is easy to dull, you know? ”

"Uh-huh. Alice smiled and nodded, then turned to Linda, who had just walked over, and gave her a big hug: "Linda, welcome home." ”

"And you, Shakia. Of course, you can't ignore another hero, Xia Qiya.

"Ahhh What did you have prepared for today?"

As a foodie, Xia Qiya returned to the jungle again, but suddenly felt uncomfortable. There is no way, the conditions are limited, everything that eats and drinks is simple, and there is no comparison with the black stone collar at all.

"Haha!" Alice said with a smile, "I knew you must be hungry, so I was the only one to greet you." Elena and Luna are preparing a feast for you in the kitchen. ”

"Oh roar~~"

Xia Qiya smiled and swallowed his saliva. However, he suddenly remembered the captured orc children, and said to Qin Song: "Qin, these little cubs should follow the arrangements we discussed on the road." ”

"No problem. ”

Qin Song nodded, as for how to place these orc children, they had discussed it on the way. In the end, it was unanimously decided that, in order to avoid panicking among the population, a temporary shelter would be built on the edge of the forest, under the strict supervision of the army.

As for the future arrangement, when Xia Qiya has trained them and obeyed them, they will build a lumbermill here, and these strong orcs are the most suitable lumberjacks.

The soldiers led by Monko received the orc children, and Huen, as the leader of the armored special operations team, returned to the barracks with the team members who had been working for nearly half a month.

And Alice has long been chatting with Linda Shakia, and the topics are mostly about encounters in the jungle, as well as some interesting facts about Blackstone Collar.

"Commander-in-chief. ”

Harald, who was looking at the gap, came to Qin Song's side with worry on his face: "The situation in Arabe City, which you have brought me to pay attention to, has been getting worse and worse recently. ”

"Oops?"

"Yes. ”

In Harald's description, not only the city of Arabe, but the entire Duchy of Vendon was in trouble. A large number of sea monsters poured onto the coastal line, using the nests of seaweed, and after the Principality as a whole adopted a defensive strategy, they encountered almost no decent resistance, and were steadily advancing and converging.

The domain of his father-in-law, Sir Lias, had completely collapsed due to its proximity to the coastline and the lack of a leader. The only thing to be thankful for was that his friend, the daughter of Sir Lias, withdrew to the city under the escort of his retainers.

In fact, this situation was expected by Qin Song, shrinking the defense meant giving up resistance, and the other party would inevitably become more rampant.

The Duchy of Vendon is Harald's hometown, and even if it is submitted to Qin Song, it is an indisputable fact. His father, and many friends, several of whom he had been friends with, were all there. But that's all secondary reasons, the main reason is that he has always had an ideal, that is, to lead the steel fleet, with a dazzling attitude, to save his hometown, save his family, so that everyone looks up to him with adoration, and the power he brings.

"Commander, I've heard Mistress Alice describe the propeller problem. Recently, there doesn't seem to be much progress. Harald's eyebrows were furrowed, and the iron-clad princess was in dry dock, with improved guns installed on deck, and plenty of ammunition.

Dismantling redundant facilities such as masts and sails, equipped with advanced weapons, and cloaked in orc black iron, the ironclad battleship is dark and angular, like a beast, domineering and wild.

Harald, who was born in the navy, saw it the moment he saw it, and the blood in his body boiled directly.

It can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

It's just that the existence of the legendary transcendent sails, the sharp weapons that roam the world, and the perfect creation of the black stone collar have never been equipped.

The ship has no power, and no matter how domineering it is, it is just a pile of scrap metal.

This distressed Harald.

My admiral's dream.

Defeating the Church, defeating the Orcs, and wreaking havoc in the homeland of the sea monsters is the best chance for the Navy to show its talents.

"Don't worry, I know it. ”

"Yes, Commander. Looking at Qin Song, who was full of confidence, Harald's worries dissipated most of them, since the commanders said that they knew it, they must have it.

Well, in fact, Qin Song didn't know much in his heart.

The propeller is related to the safety of long-distance navigation, and the successful development is of course a great weapon. But if it doesn't work out, and Vendon is in a critical situation, even the sail power has to be used.

"At present, the affairs of the barracks, you will first transfer them to the three regiment commanders. The ironclad ships equipped in the dry dock are immediately towed out of the dock first, and the rest of the ships, you carefully select some with excellent performance and good maintenance, and drag them into the dry dock to prepare the matching ironclads. ”

"Understood. ”

"In the ammunition production room of the arsenal, some manpower can be appropriately added. As for the problem of bullet pressing, if the farmers have free time, you can temporarily open a bullet pressing workshop and pay by piece to speed up the bomb pressing work. ”

Naval guns and light and heavy machine guns are all sharp weapons against the riotous sea monsters, and the consumption of ammunition is bound to be very large.

In addition, there is the lair of the sea monster, the temple that rises from the sea, which is the source of all evil. Considering that the sea around the temple is full of monsters, I don't know how many monsters are hidden in the temple.

Air strikes are, of course, the most perfect solution.

However, ironclad ships have not yet been successfully manufactured, and higher-tech flying machines will by no means be able to appear in a short period of time.

Therefore, in the absence of a suitable means of attack, Qin Song would try his best to avoid the scope of the temple, and adopt the plan of saving Vendeng's work first, gathering strength, and then gradually advancing towards the temple.

"Also, the charts have to be accurate enough. I heard that your old acquaintance is also a good navigator, as well as other expert sailors, can be recruited to form a staff group, and must ensure the safety and accuracy of navigation. When our navy officially sets sail, I will announce the formation of the Blackstone Navy. ”

Harald's eyes lit up, and in terms of seafaring experience and naval combat skills, he was much better than Ralph. And listening to Qin Song's meaning, the navy is a separate branch of the army, so the first commander of the navy is none other than him.

"Yes, Commander. ”

It seemed that the commander-in-chief had begun to make preparations for the battle, which meant that the war was not far off, and Harald's heart suddenly became eager, and he stood up and saluted with great energy, his eyes as sharp as those of a falcon, shining brightly, and the star of order on his chest shone with dazzling golden light in the sunlight.

Qin Song could understand Harald's excitement, after all, he was in his early twenties, he was just strong-blooded, enthusiastic, and even a little second-year old.

It's nice to be young.

Qin Song touched his nose, he was a human being in two lives, and the situation forced him to be cautious and careful, let alone rash.

However, this does not mean that his blood is cold.

When he begins to take the initiative, it's time to show his sharp fangs to the enemy!

"Qin, hurry up, if you don't come again, there won't be anything for you to eat at the celebration banquet!"

Xia Qiya, who had been chatting with Alice for a while, didn't eat breakfast in order to go home for the day, she was as greedy as a hungry wolf, her eyes were about to glow green, and she greeted Qin Song loudly.

Alice has a pair of sheared eyes, and she is also looking forward to Ai Ai's look.

She was waiting for the surprise that Qin Song brought back.

I inquired about Linda and Xia Qiya for a long time just now, and found that the two of them didn't know what the surprise was, which made her look forward to it even more.
