"It looks like it's a man-made embankment! Say, Mr. Hankesh, I suppose you should know the truth, right? Ciri said with a smile on his face. Everyone knew he meant something, but in the midst of this laughter, that Hank was speechless!

His face was cloudy and uncertain for a long time, and finally Hank raised his head. "Your Excellency, you guessed it right, my father is a nobleman from the Kingdom of Rolando. It was only because he offended the king that he fled incognito to the kingdom of Zigra. ”

Ciri frowned. "Hank, who asked you where you came from? I just want you to tell me why this river was forcibly diverted back then. ”

"Because, this river will flow through the entire territory of the Duchy of Canter, and if the embankment is broken, a large part of this duchy-level territory will be flooded."

Ciri was stunned. He didn't expect to get such a result! "Oh? So if I dig this embankment, who will flood and displace many civilians in the Principality of Canter downstream? ”

"Yes, sir. The country of Kante has abundant rain, and it doesn't matter whether there is water from this river or not. But my lord, remember that you also carefully studied the topography of Canter City and the surrounding territories before you came? Have you forgotten that this used to be a swamp? ”

"Swamps? Wouldn't that be great? Farmland is needed, and the same is true for growing rice. And there will be a lot of extra aquaculture, won't it? ”

Such a large river, although he did not see it with his own eyes, just looking at this embankment with a height of more than three hundred meters and several kilometers of stretches, he could imagine the road, in order to divert the river back then, it cost Rolando, oh no. This has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Rolando. He remembered that he had studied the story of Zigra I before, and that he had forcibly diverted a great river. The people of the kingdom of Rolando, only many years after the wise monarch died of illness, sent people to establish a city of Canter in the richest part of the central part of the territory. It is no wonder that the two countries have been pulling the skin for two or three hundred years because of the ownership of this territory.

"Your Excellency, you have to think twice! Once the river returns to the ancient channel, isn't the territory of Canter City separated from the rest of the kingdom of Zigra by a large river? In case something goes wrong, how can we keep up with the follow-up supplies?"

Hank shouted, but suddenly thinking of the difference in the identities of the two, he hurriedly apologized. "I'm sorry Lord Siri, I'm just getting emotional ......"

"You're not emotional, you're just faithful, what do I have to blame?" Ciri's tone was light, but through Hank's words, he had a new idea. And after jumping on the embankment to observe for a while, he was firm in his thoughts.

"Come on Hank, do me a favor. I want you to place a few alchemical mines on that embankment. It doesn't take much, just blow up a ten-meter-diameter gap. ”

"Huh? My lord, are you still going to blow up the embankment? Are you sure you won't go to the entire embankment? ”

Ciri raised the knight's broadsword at his waist. "Now, do you see? This is the heart of the leyline that the former lord of Bettensis City gave me, and we just need to strengthen the embankment around the blown up river to make sure that the river bank does not explode. Just blow up a crack. I've seen it, and the water level of this river is about five to seven meters below the embankment. We just lowered the river by a meter or two. It won't be a problem. ”

"Yes, my lord."

At this point, Hank naturally didn't bother with Cieri about the riverbank. It's a pity that he didn't know that what Xirui was going to blow up was not a gap, but an entire embankment that stretched for several kilometers!

The other nobles under the command of the expeditionary force were unwilling to do their best, because no matter how much territory they conquered, it was the fief that was given to Jadol and it had nothing to do with them. If a great river cuts off the retreat of the expeditionary force, then will anyone dare not do their best?

The expeditionary force has a variety of craftsmen accompanying the army, but it is better to rely on these craftsmen to build ships, and it is better to take the city of Kanter in one go, and then use the teleportation circle set up in the castle to return to Zigra. Of course, such a thing as cutting off the rear route of the whole army, even if it is to destroy the cauldron and kill the three armies, is not something that a small baron like him Siri can afford. Rather than use this method, it is better to use the territory of Kante City as a bait to lure those nobles who have nothing to do with themselves.

Although he was only about to dig out a ten-meter-diameter gap, Ciri still encountered the biggest challenge in terms of reinforcing the surrounding embankment, and it took him two hours to finish everything last night, while wiping his sweat, he also saw the adoring Hank on the side.

"I said Hankesh, what's that look on your face? Didn't you say it, it all depends on the heart of the leyline? It doesn't have much to do with me. ”

"No, my lord, it's not because of a treasure like the Leyline Heart you used, I just didn't expect that the entire river embankment could be strengthened in such a short time with vine-like reinforcement. You say you are from an aristocratic background, could it be that you studied engineering in your early years? ”

"Besides, I'll have a lot more!" was praised by his subordinates for their loyalty, and Ciri couldn't help but be a little fluttering. In his previous life, he studied history and was a liberal arts student. But because he likes online articles, he will really add some knowledge about basic industries. He doesn't know how to do civil engineering, but he has friends around him who have learned. Besides, the reinforcement he made was very simple. The vine-like reinforcement was only influenced by the concept of reinforcement in the buildings of the previous life, and of course, it was easy for him to reinforce the river embankment with the cherry blossom rocks in the heart of the veins, and it was even easier to turn the reinforcement back into dirt. Once he did this, he didn't even need to do anything else, just the huge impact of the big river behind him could make the embankment disappear in an instant!

As the saying goes, pretend to be 13 and be struck by lightning! This side was proud, but suddenly there was a loud shout of killing from below. Listening to that voice, I'm afraid that the troops below have already engaged in a full-scale exchange of fire with that group of enemy troops!

What's going on? How do they not follow their own signal form? Hank, who was next to him, gave him a reliable answer.

"My lord, it's been two hours, and the banquet should be over there, right?"

Is it possible for a nobleman to hold a banquet in two or three hours? Ciri was deeply suspicious of this, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much.

"Hank, you stay here, see my signal, blow it up immediately. Drop the embankment. If the battle is not over and there is no problem with the embankment, don't you go back? ”

Dropping these words, Ciri roared straight down, he found that he had always been unlucky in ambushing the enemy, the last time he ambushed the orcs, he ended up stabbing such a big hornet's nest, as for this time, he only hoped that his troops would not die too many people. (To be continued.) )
