At the time of the spring harvest, the plains are full of joy.

The workers on the West Coast have gone to the fields to help harvest the wheat, and the golden wheat is really lovely.

In the villages, shrewd merchants also approached the village chief early to discuss the purchase of wheat, and the officials followed behind the butts to record it so that the commercial tax could be collected.

The commercial tax was temporarily replaced by wheat, and Prince Luo Lan demanded that the state stock grain.

Storing food is a very important matter, Luo Lan wanted to do it himself, but he couldn't pull it out, because the Southern State could be in turmoil at any time, and Charles couldn't deal with it alone.

Therefore, Luo Lan hurried to the Daisy Industrial Base to receive his own rocket army.

A month ago, when Luo Lan went south, there were only 20 barrel transmitters, but now there are 100, which can basically meet the needs of 500 rocket troops.

The arrows purchased from Nanshan Country have also been basically renovated, and with the existing arrows on Phuket Island, it is enough to make up 100,000 rockets.

100,000 rockets is a lot for an ordinary archer, but it is barely enough for the Rocket Army, and a hundred canister launchers are used up after thirty rounds.

Of course, it is more than enough to deal with the southern state.

Luo Lan was also very satisfied, and after accepting the five hundred rocket troops, he ordered Carl to lead the team to the south of Nakajima State by boat to wait for orders.

When the workers of the industrial base saw 500 sturdy soldiers carrying cartridge transmitters and leading horses, everyone was excited.

This is Phuket's own army, and there's nothing more exciting than it.

The Rocket Force set off majestically, first to Phuket City, and then to the port by boat south.

Mead's two large ships were on standby, mainly responsible for transporting canister launchers and explosive bombs.

The air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke.

Luo Lan's heart is also a little hot, and the hot weapons war in this world will be started by him.

Before parting, Rolandt consulted with Daisy and Rick, telling them to manage the West Coast and not to mess up even if the Southern War was lost.

Daisy didn't understand war, she just nodded and looked at Luo Lan shyly.

Rick did understand something, and he was excited but also a little worried.

"Your Highness, we have only been training for a few months, and we are really in a hurry to go into battle like this, I am afraid that there will be accidents. When I was in the Southern Plains, I heard that the regular training of Barron's cavalry took up to a year, and it took more than three years to become an army......"

Indeed, military training is not so simple.

Speaking of cavalry, the cavalry of Phuket Island can basically only ride horses and do not slash, if they are against Baron's cavalry, five people may not be able to kill one person.

Although Luo Lan doesn't know about the army, he also knows the truth that good things are more grinding. But he didn't have time, so he could only rely on firearms to crush the other party.

"Let's try it first, it's safe to experiment with the southern state, even if we lose, I still have my father here, it's a big deal to lose face, let my father send troops to help me."

Luo Lan said with a smile, new classes should always be tested.

Rick nodded, telling Luo Lan not to worry about the north, he would manage it.

Luo Lan headed south again.

Small boats carried the Rocket Force south, while the two large ships of the Aiman fleet carried rockets and explosive bombs south.

In the port of Nakashima State, there are also many ships that travel between the sea and the shore, and in addition to transporting sulfur stones, they also have to bring back weapons sold by Nanshan Province.

Charles was in the harbor and planned everything in a neat and orderly manner.

Most of the sulphur stone was temporarily stored in the middle island state, because there were too few ships to transport it to the north. And a small part of the sulfur stone that was transported to the north has been "dissected" by the happy Dais.

A few days later, when Charles was panting from exhaustion in the harbor, the northern fleet appeared.

Two large ships led the way, carrying a large number of explosive bombs and rockets. In the rear, dozens of fishing boats carrying 500 rocket troops rushed in.

The people in the port all looked over, there were fishermen transporting sulfonite stones in the southern state, and there were also local people in the middle island state.

For a moment, the emotions of shock, surprise, and panic were intertwined.

Luo Lan stood on the deck of the warship and loudly reassured the fishermen of the Southern Pradesh: "Don't be afraid, this prince has received news that Gargo intends to rebel, so this prince has to guard against it." I also received a secret report that Gargo had killed Count Abbe, which really chilled the prince's heart. Rest assured, this prince will not harm the unrelated people. ”

The fishermen of the southern state looked at each other in a moment, and they did not know whether to believe it or not.

Luo Lan didn't say much, and motioned for the rocket army to go ashore, but the weapon was not ashore and was still stored on the ship.

If there is to be a war, it is obviously stupid to attack by land, and it is the best choice to attack Huanglong by water.

After settling the Rocket Army, Luo Lan and Charles entered the mountains together.

On a high mountain, the two looked at the grasslands of the southern state and smiled at each other.

"Your Highness, Gargo's army is so disheartened that even the spies are nowhere to be seen. From ministers to peasants, from old people to children, almost all of them went to dig for sulfonite. ”

Charles said, Luo Lan smiled lightly and nodded.

He had long expected this result, and a southern state with a population of 20,000 would not be able to bear the weight of the trick at all.

A big country like Chu has been pitted by the Qi State, so what is the Southern State?

"Okay, there's one last fire, I'll see if Gargo is crazy."

Luo Lan said coldly and looked at Charles: "Is your father's servant back?" ”

As soon as Luo Lan mentioned it, Charles remembered: "I haven't come back yet, why is Your Highness asking this?" ”

"We have to pay attention to the reputation of the teacher, Count Abbe gave you the inheritance, and sent someone to inform the king, as long as the servant returns, you are the rightful lord of the southern state, and it is legal and reasonable for me to kill Gargo."

Charles was stunned, and at this time, Barrett climbed up at the foot of the mountain: "Ouch, I'm tired, Your Highness, someone wants to see you, and I want to see Earl Charles." ”

Luo Lan and Charles glanced at each other and smiled.

In Nakajima's castle, Luo Lan and Charles meet the maid sent out by Earl Abbe that day.

The maid was very capable, with quite sharp hands and feet, and seemed to be a specially trained killer.

She brought back two things, one was a parchment about the succession of Count Abbe, and the other was a letter from King Hailing to Luo Lan.

Luo Lan was a little surprised, the old king actually wrote a letter to himself? It seems that the maid told the old king that the affairs of the southern state were related to herself.

Luo Lan took the letter and read it, there was not much ink on it, it could be described as concise and to the point.

"Luo Lan, my time is running out. Your second brother is ambitious but not good at governing the country, your third sister is upright and does not know how to compromise, and your fourth brother is unambitious and unbearable. At the end of the day, I'm still looking forward to you. ”

"I'll celebrate my sixtieth birthday next year, come back and take a look, if I haven't grown up, I'll be dead, and this Sea Spirit Kingdom will be handed over to your second brother."

The king's tone was unexpectedly soft, not at all as bad as when he drove Luo Lan away.

Luo Lan put away the letter and was silent.

Charles next to him had finished reading the parchment, and said happily: "Your Highness, the king has canonized me as the lord of the Southern State." ”

"Alright, let's set the last fire on fire."
