In 1625, the Far Eastern Frontier was filled with new immigrants with an imperial accent, from endless cotton fields to factories with looms roaring. Most of these new immigrants have changed their faith, and they are also believers in the goddess of destiny with the locals, and every Sunday morning, they will always take their whole family to the nearby Sindra Church to attend the sacrament.

In addition to the cotton communes and cotton textile industrial areas of the Crescent Valley, the local mining industry also benefited from the massive influx of imperial immigrants, which provided an abundance of miners. Bloom used the opportunity to increase development of the Mochizukiyama mine, where annual gold production tripled compared to the time of Baron Hurd.

The gold mines are a state-owned military industry, and for safety reasons, Bloom is not too afraid to let go of his hands and feet. For another local mineral resource "lapis lazuli", which is very rich in reserves, there is no such concern as gold mines, and a large number of immigrants are hired to engage in mining work, and the output has increased tenfold in three years, basically monopolizing the international lapis lazuli supply market.

We chatted until late at night, when Roland had a more comprehensive understanding of the local situation, and then got up to see off the guests and go to bed.

Early the next morning, Roland, accompanied by Joseph, Sand Rose, Vitas and Bloom, traveled in plain clothes to inspect the Cotton Commune, the Cotton Textile Industrial Zone, the Mining Zone, and the Border Trade Market.

In winter, although it does not snow in southern Xinjiang, the cotton fields are also barren and there is nothing to see. Most of the local people go to the nearby textile factories to do odd jobs during the slack season, and Roland saw many female workers with the accent of the Yashan Empire in the factory with the roar of looms, and guessed that they were exiles from the empire, so he talked to them and asked them about their living conditions in the past year when they moved to southern Xinjiang.

The female workers did not know who he was, and when they saw that he was so young, but he was born tall and handsome, they thought he was the new factory manager, and they talked about their experiences without warning. Everyone's life experience is different, but there are always similarities, when it comes to the life in the interior of the empire in the past, there is endless bitterness in the stomach, and some people even cry bitterly when they talk about it. However, when it comes to the situation of immigrants to the Far East, these women workers have a happy smile on their faces, and are generally satisfied with their present life, even if there are still some unsatisfactory parts of their lives, which are nothing compared to the nightmarish torment before their exile.

It took Roland two days to inspect the various places, and in the early morning of February 5, he boarded the southbound train again and waved goodbye to Bloom and others who had come to the platform to see him off.

His Royal Highness the Regent's chariot sounded its whistle and rolled along the railroad tracks, heading for the Canaanite border fortress of Media.

Roland vaguely remembers that when he first visited Medesa three years ago, there was no railway between the two countries, and when he went, he used teleportation spells, and when he came back, he rode a camel all day, and his back hurt. Today, the border between the Far East and Canaan has changed dramatically, with the majestic customs buildings, the neat and beautiful train stations nearby, the popular duty-free shops, and the busy storage docks in the distance, like a huge dragon, constantly swallowing containers of trade goods from both sides of the border, and the busy scene is full of thriving busy scenes as far as the eye can see.

Roland remembers that three years ago, at his own initiative, the governments of the Far East and Canaan had signed an agreement to jointly finance the construction of a passenger and freight railway connecting Mochizuki with the Medes. At that time, the Far East was building a southern railway line from Krasburg to Mochizuki, and Canaan already had a railway line extending from Bethlehem to Medes, and according to the agreement signed by the two sides to cooperate in the construction of the railway, it was expected that a railway artery with a total length of nearly 4,000 miles from Krasburg to Bethlehem would be built within two years.

Today, the longest railway line from Krasburg to Bethlehem in the Far East has been completed, and there has not been a single serious accident in the past year, making a great contribution to strengthening economic cooperation between the Far East and Canaan.

The distance between Mochizuki Castle and Medes, the distance on the map is only more than 200 miles, and the train first passes through a railway tunnel that runs through Mt. Mochizuki in a brutal manner, and then leaps over the railway bridge across the Crescent River, and arrives at the terminal in less than four hours.

Glova and Maria, both old friends of Roland, came to the platform to greet him personally. After the three of them met, they inevitably exchanged pleasantries, recalling the time when they had adventured side by side in the "Nightmare City" Akron many years ago, and they all sighed with great embarrassment, as if they had suddenly grown old.

Mary also held in her arms a little baby with big eyes twinkling in her arms, her precious son with Coropha, who had just reached the end of the moon.

The little guy is white and chubby, very cute, and has a very loud name - Messiah! That's right, it has the same name as the Messiah, the "holy spear" of Canaan's artifact, which shows that Colopas and Mary have high hopes for their eldest son.

Roland hugged the Messiah, the little one was very flattering, generously allowing Uncle Strange to touch his tender little face, and generously kissing Uncle Strange's cheeky skin. Roland really liked this little nephew, and immediately took off the "freedom of movement ring" on his hand and gave it to the little Messiah.

This magic ring was a gift from his father to defend himself when he set off on a trip north eight years ago, and has helped him out of trouble countless times during his adventures. Now that Roland himself has mastered the spell of "Freedom of Movement", and he also has an enhanced version of "Freedom of Movement" - the legendary spell "Eternal Freedom", he no longer needs this ring. Moreover, his father has passed away, and every time he sees this magic ring, Roland will always feel a little sad, and now he will give it to the little Messiah, a small ring, which carries the blessings of the father and son to the new generation.

In the afternoon of the same day, Carol and Theodora were also teleported directly to the Doge's palace in Media, where they met with Roland and Corophaus to discuss the tripartite march south.

It was initially agreed that the troops would be divided into three routes and advance separately. According to the most optimistic estimates, by the end of June this year, the Koras, Parnia, and Canaanite legions are expected to join forces under the "Dagger Tower". The headquarters of the coalition forces is located in Mochizuki City, with Marshal Alexei as the commander-in-chief, and Canaan and Parnia will also send senior generals to serve in the headquarters to jointly form a staff team with rich experience in actual combat command to assist Marshal Alexei in overseeing the overall situation and commanding and dispatching.
