Chapter 1524: Border Night Patrol (I.)

On November 22, 1621, the government of Kolas officially announced the resumption of sovereignty over southern Xinjiang, ending the illegal rule of Baron Hurd, the remnant of the empire, by force, and established a set of administrative institutions in Mochizuki City under the auspices of Roland, which was completely subordinate to the leadership of the Kolasburg cabinet.

The successful recovery of Mochizuki City helped Roland open up the situation in southern Xinjiang, but now is not the time to relax his nerves, the development of southern Xinjiang economy needs to be based on the premise of a peaceful and stable social order, only to help the local people completely get rid of the threat of bandits, in order to truly win the hearts of the people, and lay the foundation for changing the poor and backward situation in southern Xinjiang.

If the opponent is just a rogue in the desert, it is not difficult to deal with, but after listening to the reports of Sand Rose and Joseph on the problem of sand bandits, Roland naturally summed up a conclusion: the background of sand bandits is not simple. In particular, the four most powerful sand bandit gangs in southern Xinjiang, the "Scarlet Regiment", the "Blade Regiment", the "Jackal Regiment" and the "Undead Regiment", have the shadow of the "Rosenthal family" behind them.

The Rosenthal family is one of the six major witch king families in the Celestial Desert, and its own power is very strong, and it has intermarried with the Canaanite aristocracy for generations, Zion and Rosenthal The two major psionic royal families have actually become one, and even the current queen of Canaan is also from the Rosenthal family, so it is no wonder that some people call Canaan the Zion-Rosenthal dual monarchy.

Since the tentacles of the Rosenthal family have long been extended to southern Xinjiang under the cloak of sand bandits, and since the governor of Meyer, the ruler of Medes, was born in the Rosenthal family and has a close relationship with Baron Hurd, now that Roland has taken back the sovereignty of southern Xinjiang, expelled Baron Hurd, and nationalized the gold mine he and Mayer jointly operated, how could the other party be willing to sit idly by?

Roland originally hoped that Mayer would communicate with himself or the Krasbourg authorities through diplomatic channels to protect his interests in southern Xinjiang in a peaceful way, although Roland saw this as an illegal interest, but he did not mind making some concessions to the other side in order to maintain the overall situation of the alliance between the Far East and Canaan.

Unfortunately, three days have passed since Baron Hurd fled to Medes, and Meyer has not yet intervened, and this silence seems to imply that he does not intend to settle the dispute through diplomatic channels, so the use of force is more likely, and Roland has to strengthen his precautions.

The airships drawn from Icewind Dale and Parnia are still on the way, and Roland has few troops at his disposal: the half-giant militia has to guard Sweetwater Town, the Redstone Guards have to stay in Mochizuki City, and the one hundred and fifty giant eagles led by Aurora are the hardest, patrolling the border line in shifts day and night, from Mochizuki Mountain to the Crescent River, at least 100 giant eagles can be seen at any time above the border between the Far East and Canaan for more than 400 miles, and the average patrol radius of each giant eagle is as long as 2 miles - thanks to the super keen eyesight of the giant eagle, Able to see an ant on the ground at a height of 1,000 yards, he can barely take care of it despite the large patrol radius.

On November 25, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Aurora slept for six hours in the workers' dormitory at the Mochizuki Mountain Gold Mine, got up and ate a simple meal, and took to the sky an hour earlier to patrol the monitoring areas of the various squads along the border. Under her strict management, the Giant Eagle Army of this wing is strictly disciplined, and she does not need to worry about it, but this time there are also 50 Giant Eagle Aviation from the "Independence" temporarily under her command. Most of these guys were under the bad influence of Captain Dewey, the commander of the wing, who fought bravely and almost brainlessly, and liked to drink two drinks in their spare time. Aurora once discovered that a squad leader had secretly hidden a bottle of wine under her wing during a patrol, and she caught her and argued that it was a potion to prevent heatstroke and cool down. Yes, sprinkling spirits on feathers does have the effect of evaporating and dissipating heat, but Aurora doesn't believe this bastard's nonsense, otherwise how can he explain his drunken mouth? Could it be that drinking alcohol in the stomach can also have a cooling effect?

At 10 p.m., Aurora receives a magical text message while on her way. Roland is very willing to spend money on military equipment, and the "Andrea Magic Guide", which is still a high-end luxury item in the civilian market, has become the individual equipment of the Koras Army Air Force, so that the eagles can report abnormal situations at any time during patrols.

"40 miles to the southeast, two super-large airships flew in the direction of Parnia, suspected to be a new type of airship of our army, and they are trying to get in touch with each other!"

After reading the magic message, Aurora immediately guessed that it should be the "Holy Transformation" and "Destiny" sent to the Parnia Peninsula to participate in the joint military exercise not long ago, the military exercise just ended last night, and the two new airships with a load capacity of up to 500 tons rushed to southern Xinjiang overnight.

Aurora flew to the direction of her men's announcement, and sure enough, she saw two silver-gray whale-like airships sailing in the setting sun, and the Koras flag raised above the bridge was waving in the wind, making her mothership, the Dawn, look like a small dolphin in comparison.

"Colonel Jennifer, Major Elina, welcome back in triumph!" Aurora greets the commanders of the two airships with a magic telephony.

"Captain Aurora, it's a pleasure to see you again, we're going to fight side by side again." Jennifer's reply came quickly, and Yelena wrote back shortly after.

After a brief contact, Aurora declined Jennifer and Yelena's invitation to board the ship on the grounds that she was on patrol duty, and sent a magical text message to Roland to report the return of the two "sanctified-class" airships from Parnia.

Just a few seconds later, Roland, who was far away in the Governor's Mansion of Mochizuki City, received a report from Aurora. In fact, this is not news to him, as early as last night he received a letter from Prince Carroll, learning that the Mulberry Bay military exercise has successfully achieved its goal. Under pressure from Roland, Tamara had given up her support for the separatist forces in Mulberry Bay, and the local tycoons were frightened to witness the horrific bombing of airships and giant eagles during the military exercise, and had to admit such a cruel reality: if they refused to obey the will of the Parnia court, then the Far Easterners' airships and giant eagles would drop bombs on their courtyards, and not only would the mines not be saved, but their own lives would have to be answered.

Before the military exercise was over, the current heads of the four wealthy families of Mulberry Bay rushed to Parniaborg to meet Prince Carol and Queen Theodora, and in order to show their loyalty to the royal family, they "voluntarily" sold their mines to the Parnia government at a low price.
