The next day, Roland was busy until late at night before returning to the hotel, took a hot bath to wash off his exhaustion, and wrote a letter to his father as usual and sent it as a "high communication stone". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

General Rudolph had already led his army north, and the poor road conditions in the Lucia Mountains slowed down the march, and the Koras army had to leave their large-caliber artillery in Icewind Dale, carrying only light mountain guns on the long journey to conquer the Lucia Plateau.

In his last letter to his father, Roland described the terrain of the "Dragon Castle", and without heavy firepower, it would be impossible to shake the fortress group set up by the "Dragon's Eye" in the mountains. However, in his reply, Mr. Rudolph comforted his son not to worry, and he prepared a secret weapon for the attack on the fortress. Although he did not specify what kind of weapon it was in the letter, he repeatedly asked his son about the geographical environment of the Kitland Plateau area, especially asked if there were any conditions for building a military railway, through these details Roland basically guessed his father's plan, and told him in the reply that the plateau around Kitland City has flat terrain, and some railways have been built for mining coal and iron deposits over the years, but it has not yet been equipped with the latest magic crystal locomotive, or uses animal power to pull mine carts. This is admittedly backward, but given the harsh climate of the highlands, the large mountain lothmon is actually a less costly and more realistic power than the magic crystal locomotive.

Rudolph was pleased with the situation described in his reply, and asked his son to tell Lord Beowulf to prepare more rails, gravel, and sleepers, and build a railroad along the Kitland fortress to the area controlled by the "Dragon's Eye", and when the Southern Army and the Kitlanders joined forces in early July, they launched an offensive against the "Dragon's Eye", and he could be assured that the victory would extend wherever the railroad was built.

In their reply to Roland, Beowulf and Lady Natasha promised to complete the pre-war preparations on time, Kitland was a "coal and iron capital", there was as much steel as you wanted, the plateau was full of coniferous forests, and the reserve of sleepers was enough, and the only trouble now was that the "Dragon's Eye" would not sit idly by and watch the Kitland Engineer Corps build the railroad under their noses, and frequently sent small units to harass them, so they paid some losses. However, in the eyes of the strong--or-or more accurately-stubborn--Kitland people, this little trick is a reflection of the "Dragon's Eye" outside the strong middle, in exchange for two years ago, when the "Dragon's Eye" was the strongest, where would the Kitlanders be tolerated to make small moves under their noses, the five-colored dragon army would have been pushed back long ago.

Roland was not surprised by the Dragon's Eye's weakness, and wrote back to Beowulf and Natasha about the beginning and end of the Astral War, and that the dragon king Mars had fallen in the Land of the Dead and had little hope of survival. Now the "Dragon's Eye" is at its weakest moment, there is no legendary powerhouse in charge, only relying on five quasi-legendary generals to fight against Kitlander and the Southern Alliance, I am afraid that even they themselves dare not have much hope of winning this war, not to mention that the five-colored dragon general is not the same heart, the "Red Dragon General" Andrea and the strongest dragon vein army under his command are reluctant to meet the Kitlanders. Roland received a letter from the Dragon's Castle two days ago, written by Andrea. After the courtesy greeting, General Honglong vaguely asked to meet with him as soon as possible to discuss whether it was possible to resolve the dispute on the plateau peacefully.

In his reply, Roland told Andrea that he had never closed the door to peace, but whether or not to fight this war was not something he or Andrea could decide in private, and that this battle was inevitable unless the "Dragon's Eye" completely withdrew from the Lucia Mountains. Roland didn't think that Andrea would be able to accept his offer, and even if she could accept it personally, the other four half-dragon generals would never be willing to give up the territory they had been operating for many years. Despite this, Roland still agreed to meet Andrea, after all, the two are also old friends, and the half-dragon clan will die if they want to die, and he only hopes to persuade Andrea to give up her stubborn resistance and lead the dragon legion away from the vortex of war.

The battle clouds were thick in the mountains of Lucia, and Roland could not stay away, and at the end of the letter he told his father that he would leave the North Bay and return to Kitland tomorrow, and that father and son would meet the day after tomorrow at the latest, if nothing else. Sending a letter to his father, Roland was not sleepy, and wrote a letter to Valentina, who did not know whether she was in the astral realm or returned to the "Harvest Ring". In addition to daily greetings and subtle love words, Roland told the current situation in the North Bay in the letter, focusing on the construction of the Mystery Lock on "Kolas Island", and he wanted to know what arrangements Sister Jinlong had during this time, and whether she could take time out to come to the North Bay and preside over the Mystery Lock Project on the island.

Roland sent the letter and was ready to go to bed, but it didn't take two minutes to receive a reply from Valentina. Sister Jinlong is still in the "Great Floating City", accompanying Carol and the red-robed couple to search for the whereabouts of the "Winter Prince" Zeukeskel in the astral realm, and they are really relieved not to completely eradicate this primeval god.

Valentina replied honestly that of course she would be willing to help Xiao Qinglang build a home, and she also asked Roland to prepare a residence for her on the island, but the "Harvest Ring" lacked high-level spellcasters, and she was the only one who had studied the "Lost Lock", so it would be difficult for her to recruit assistants to help her build the Lost Lock Project, and the construction period might be very long. In order to ensure the safety of Koras Island, she suggested that Roland seek help from Beacon Hill, which might cost a little more money, but people were more professional and experienced in this business. There are a variety of ready-made "puzzle templates" for Roland to choose from, and they can also be personalized according to his needs, and they can be done in two or three months at most. After thinking about it, Roland accepted Valentina's suggestion, considering that the Red Robe family had a good relationship with him, he should not be too ruthless in killing him in terms of mystery lock fees.

After exchanging goodnight with Sister Jinlong, Roland still didn't feel sleepy, so he simply sat back at his desk, lit candles, opened his notebook, and sorted out his balance sheet. It's been more than two years since he crossed over to the world of Vares, and Roland has really amassed a lot of wealth in the past two years, and of course, he owes a lot of debt, but his balance sheet is still very healthy overall.

Now he has only two personal debts, the first is a 3 million 10-year loan from Sir Adric with an interest rate of only 2% per annum, and the other is a 10 million five-year construction bond issued by the Tariff on Kolas Island; The asset items are relatively complex, including securities, bills and cash, totaling nearly 8 million, which are stored in Lighthouse Bank and Yangbo Chamber of Commerce respectively. In terms of equity, he mainly holds 40% of the shares of the airship company, he holds 50% of the shares of the Mecha Research Institute, he personally holds 60% of the shares of the newly established Kolas-Yangbo Trust, partners Liu Bofu holds 20% of the shares, and the remaining 20% of the shares are equally distributed to the team members (limited partners) of the "Shining Gold Coins". It is not easy for Bloom, Lyudmila, Veronica, Nikita and Vigrav to follow him in the wind and rain along the way, and within the scope of his ability, he will always try to help his friends accumulate more wealth, money is not everything, but no money is impossible.
