Chapter 652: The Ending
In Mirno's opinion, the "Rosace Cross" and the "Pit Viper Cross" are simply no longer trustworthy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This inexplicable war came suddenly, and ended even more suddenly. After being tricked around, Mirno finally vaguely understood the key, but when he tried to remind Charles II, he found that he had been abandoned.
When the emperor no longer trusted him, Mirno knew that even if he stood in front of Charles II now and stated the pros and cons, he was afraid that the other party would not believe his words at all.
From the moment he took on the mission of "attacking Ivota", Mirno was surrounded by problems. Now he realized that he should not have been so obsessed with "revenge" in the first place, that he ended up in the same field - now his guard was only fifty or so men, and the rest of the thousand soldiers had been repatriated on the spot, because Mirno could no longer find enough food to keep them with him. As a result, his current team pomp is not even as good as a reliable caravan.
What made him feel even more palpitations was that on the way back, almost all the civilians chose to hide far away after learning his name, as if he was a moving source of the plague.
The property of the Earl's Court has been almost consumed in the forcible war, and most of the fields and grain in the territory have been taken away by the orcs, not to mention how many people will die in this difficult winter. The borders of the territory bordering the "Temple" alone were enough to put him in fear for the future.
Remorse, anger, helplessness... As a double loser in war and political struggle, Mirno thought of the Earl of Moore, who had been hiding early on. As long as he has half of the other party's agility, it is absolutely okay to be the first minister of the kingdom safely and securely, but now...
Just as he was thinking about this, the carriage suddenly stopped in the midst of a chaotic sound of horses' hooves. Mirno was a little surprised at what was happening, but as soon as he poked his head out, he saw the soldiers in front of him being attacked by a cavalry team that had been stabbed out of oblique stabs!
This is the forest road, and the seemingly calm woods on both sides have suddenly appeared hundreds of people, although they are wearing different sloppy clothes, but the bright weapons in their hands and the shining armor under the clothes are extremely dazzling...
The team that was about to adjust the formation was cut down on the spot, and the guards that Mirno led were elite at best, but they were quickly crushed when faced with three or four times the number of enemies. These bandits, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, gave people no chance to surrender, so much so that the guards of the Count of Mirno, after throwing away their weapons and raising their hands, were still cut off by the opponent's long knives.
Seeing this group of bandits disguised as bandits, Mirno didn't know what was going on - his loss of power did not mean that the future would sink forever, Charles II would not need him one day, and an order could bring him back to the center of power... And this situation is obviously something that political opponents do not want to see.
When the situation in Bergen's territory was chaotic, "bandits attacked and killed nobles" became a normal solution.
When the guards were cut down one by one, the Count of Mirno laughed miserably and tried to calmly get out of the carriage. As soon as he pushed the car door, he was directly ripped off by the leader of this team.
"For your revenge, you have lost so much to the kingdom. ”
The muffled words came out of the mouth of the knight with a red scarf covering half of his face, and Mirno immediately understood the identity of the other party - Napa, the strongest knight under the command of Earl Moore!
But what's the use of guessing the other person's identity? The Napa Knight didn't give him a chance to speak, and drew his long sword, silently and slowly stabbing into Mirno's chest.
"Grab everything you can and evacuate. ”
None of the fifty-odd guards survived, Mirno's body was still on the side of the road, and the Napa Knight turned away without looking at it.
Roddy, who had spent three days of vacation with Sally, finally left Houllier City and embarked on the journey back to Elson City.
As a result of this battle, the "Temple" was unsurprisingly incorporated into the territory of Evta, bringing not only another territory of the kingdom, but also the population of the territory that was the most important thing for Roddy.
The Karen Kingdom is still far from the extent of population saturation, and with the increase in productivity driven by the "Charged Crystal", the most lacking thing in the future is the population... And it's a large population.
Roddy is not yet rich enough to create a large number of arcane golems to replace the labor, so how to make use of the farmers who were originally fixed in various territories and only know how to farm has become the most important problem he will face in the future.
In the world in which Rodi once lived, the Black Death devastated Europe, and because of the fragmentation of the princes, years of conquest and the extremely high infant mortality rate, the population could not be compared with the centralized powers in Asia. So Roddy and Sally briefly discussed the future direction of the "Rosicrucifixion" in the past few days - he hoped that this religion would no longer be a "state China" with an independent regime and army, but would become the prototype of a "hospital" institution in the future.
Eradicating diseases, improving infant and young child survival, reducing the number of people suffering from common diseases, and increasing the average life expectancy of the entire kingdom... This is the focus of the future development of the "Rosicrist".
As long as you put your heart into it, you can see the results in 20 years. Keeping productivity at the same pace will allow the country to quickly enter an upswing in economic and population growth.
Riding on the duck and looking down at the ground below, Roddy could see that the "road" built from Elson towards the city of Hollier had connected to the first town along the way, a distance of no more than sixty kilometers - sixty kilometers is not even a "long distance" for modern people, but here it is like a moat, separating two inhabitants who may never have interacted with each other for the rest of their lives.
The railroad was built at a noticeably slower pace, and was now just extending into the small town outside Elson. A large number of orc coolies have been added to the work of laying the railroad. Because they have increased their strength under the influence of the Demon Gate, their work speed is significantly stronger than that of humans. As a result, the various projects that were originally planned to be completed in the autumn are now almost complete.
The town is dotted with raw material processing plants, mainly wood and ore, but also light industrial plants such as paper mills. Because the town will definitely expand into a transportation center and an industrial center in the future, so Roddy has divided a piece of reserved area here in advance, and naturally separates the factory, residential, leisure, commerce, and transportation areas with horizontal and vertical streets, and it is estimated that in less than three years, it will become an engine to accelerate the increase in the GDP of the entire Everta and even the Karen Kingdom.
Quickly skimming over the town, Roddy quickly entered the confines of Elson City. Looking at the crowded streets, Luo Di thought about it, but directly let Da Duck land on the school field of the barracks.
At this time, the "Dragoon Regiment" had finished today's training, and a knight of great strength took care of his foal at a horse farm not far outside the city - good horses must be carefully raised, and the owner of the ride must cultivate feelings for a long time, so this group of knights had to take the war horse back and forth every day. There was a group of people on the school field in the city who were fighting each other, and Roddy took a look and found that these thirty or so people were all field agents of the "Elson CIA".
Among these members are soldiers selected from the barracks, as well as Tevelin, who brings various skills with her own, and Nora is very conspicuous, because she has always stood there during the actual combat training.
Seeing Roddy jumping off the duck, the training instructor hurriedly stopped the training and came over to salute. Roddy waved his hand to continue, then pointed at Nora and asked, "Why isn't she involved in training?"
This instructor was selected and trained by Sodrore from the army, not a knight or a warrior, but an advanced level 2 "assassin", and it stands to reason that his strength should be good. But Luo Di's question made him a little embarrassed: "Back to the city lord... Mainly because, uh, her fighting style is weird, and I can't beat it. ”
This answer surprised him a little, but he was quickly relieved - although Nora did not have an advanced level, after a short period of training, she quickly broke through to the basic level of 23, this kind of high level combined with several talents that come with it, ordinary advanced level 5 is really not an opponent.
"Just don't let her use any skills when she's in actual combat. ”
After Luo Di finished speaking, he was about to leave, but the instructor said in a low voice: "Lord City... She doesn't need skills, and I, and I can't beat it. ”
This surprised Roddy, he glanced at Nora who was standing calmly on the side, and thought, "Then let's arrange other training first, and I'll find something for her to do when the time comes." ”
"Yes, Lord Castle. ”
Leaving the school grounds, Roddy went straight to the center of the barracks. At this time, Sodrore was holding a long sword and slowly practicing the basic skills, which seemed to be simple and unpretentious stabbing and slashing, but in fact he was scrutinizing the details of every action - "swordsmanship genius" does not mean that he can become a sword master who can exceed the advanced level 60 by fighting casually, Sodrore can be called a martial idiot, even if he does not fight at this time, he will never be idle.
After the war, Roddy let Sodlore stay in the city, the main reason is that there will be no more war for a long time in the future, and if Sodlore and these soldiers want to improve their strength, training alone is completely insufficient. And if he is kept in the city, he will soon slack off or even regress, so before going to Rassiman, Roddy is ready to talk carefully about the future arrangements with this powerful deputy.
"What's new lately?"
Luo Di sat on the wooden bench next to him, found a cup and poured a glass of water, in this kind of private place, he would not put any high-ranking people in the score. Not to mention that Sodrore must be one of the few "Sword Saint" level powerhouses in each country in the future, but the experience of the two fighting side by side in life and death is enough to treat them as brothers.
