When Marr turned the Eastern Front upside down, Bessen also set a nail in the coffin in Ortuno.

After Thorin attacked the coal mine, he organized three more attacks, all of which ended in failure.

Looking at the higher and higher fortifications near the Black Coal Mountain, Thorin became more and more anxious, but now he was anxious and useless. In view of his recent succession of defeats, the Cabinet removed Thorin. He was replaced by a Level 3 Censor named Blake.

The Prime Minister also knew very well that dealing with the Iron Fist Army would require more troops, and it would not be solved by changing generals.

But the Eastern Front had already dragged Ortuno so hard, and the Prime Minister was reluctant to risk the army again.

If you can't play the bright one, you can play the yin one.

The Iron Fist had long logistical supply lines that were difficult to transport, and Nolan had been desperately throwing money at it to keep it afloat.

Blake had his sights set on this, but if he was to attack the Iron Fist's supply lines, and to bypass Mount Blackbrow, he would have to cross swamps, primeval forest ridges and other complex and dangerous terrain. Obviously, the gains outweigh the losses.

But Blake had done a lot of homework before he came, and he had a plan in mind.

Viscount Andro welcomed a special guest today, a man who had gone to great lengths to come from Ortuno.

He did not refuse, Viscount Andro did not know what it meant to meet a dwarf at this time.

"Viscount Andro, I'm Blake, the third-level Inquisitor of Ortunno, and I can risk my way through the defenses, please don't doubt our sincerity. ”

Viscount Blake's Rune was a little awkward, but Andro could hear it clearly.

"Your Excellency Blake, at this time, I didn't report to arrest you, and I will see you again, please don't doubt my sincerity. ”

Blake smiled faintly.

"Viscount Andro, since we are both so sincere, it seems that we will have a good meeting next. ”

"I hope so. ”

Blake sat up straight.

"Viscount Andro, you also know that Ortunno has not been doing well lately, so let's look elsewhere. ”

Andro's face also said with a slight heaviness.

"It's not just you, we were beaten up in the first place when we fought with the Iron Fist, and we are still guarding the sky, let alone you. ”

Blake's face was slightly better, like the soothing feeling of people who had suffered the same grievances hugging each other for warmth. After all, they are all people who have been ravaged by the Iron Fist.

"Viscount Andro, the Iron Fist's logistical supply line is from you. ”

Andro knew that Blake was trying to stab himself in the back, but this kind of thing was done at the time of the moment, and then in the crematorium.

Although he has some meaning of meeting with Blake, he can't risk his own net worth and life.

hesitated.

"Lord Blake, if the Iron Fist knew that I had stabbed me in the back, they would probably kill me as soon as possible, and then deal with you. ”

"You don't have to worry about that, I'll attack the Iron Fist from the front and hold them back. ”

Andro was still a little worried, although Wayne was far away in the imperial capital, the shadow left on him was still there.

"This...."

Perhaps the two were born confidants, and Blake guessed Andro's concerns.

"Viscount Andro doesn't need you to do it, we dwarves will do it. ”

"Huh?"

"I'll send the dwarves, but you'll need to provide them with gunpowder, weapons, and food. And these people are absolutely loyal, even if they die, they will not give you up. ”

Andro nodded in satisfaction, but he still had questions.

"Then how did these Ortunno warriors come here, and I don't know where they will be waiting for me. ”

"Don't worry about that, I'll send someone to inform you later. It will also come with my token, as long as you show the token at the designated place, someone will naturally come looking for you. ”

"Well, Lord Blakes is happy to work together. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

Orbins is now not only the lord of Nolan, but also the governor of the Northwest Federation with Nolan and Vasser as the main ones.

Orbins is now not the city lord but the city lord, and Orbins is also the first to cut and then play. During Wayne's time in the Imperial Capital, he increasingly felt that the Northwest was too lax to take advantage of the city's strengths and to make full use of the entire new transportation system.

So Orbans improvised that the city that could be reached by Fran with the support of Fran was larger than a marquis.

As the saying goes, the vast world has a lot to do.

Obens radiated around Vasser and Nolan, built workshops and schools. With a stroke of his pen, Auburn changed the Nolan Elementary Science Exam to the Northwest Elementary Science Exam, which has only been held once, but the effect is not very good, and only about 100 people have been recruited. This is also reasonable, after all, the previous exams have exhausted talents.

And Obans gradually came into contact with the bottleneck of industrial constraints, and the workshop could only be built on water, and without the water source, the machine would have no power source.

This is also a new research direction of the Institute, and there are a variety of strange methods. Retrofitting a traditional windmill and building the blades to be incomparably large enough to drive a large enough machine to then drive a small machine. However, the project quickly failed, and when the windmill was built to the average level, it was found that Ennoran's current strength was difficult to build the required large wind leaves.

This method does not work, so you can only find another way.

The closest success is to drive the machine to rotate with the power of the horse, but this is fundamentally different from the original imperial capital machine, and it is not a revolution.

In short, with the support of massive funds, the only constraint of the institute is imagination.

At this time, he may need Wayne's order, but he is far away in the imperial capital, and he doesn't know what he can come back to.

However, Wayne drew the design of the steam engine in time, and it could not be made immediately. The steam engine needs not only a design drawing, but also a lot of special materials, and Nolan still has a lot to invent. Time has to be slowed down.

Of course, it is not only the research institute that is emerging new things, but also the phenomenon of fine division of labor in the workshop. This greatly improves production efficiency.

The Northwest is nothing like when Wayne left, and the seeds planted by Wayne are quietly sprouting.

This is also the confidence of Orbans to intervene in both the Eastern Front and the Besson Front.

The prosperity of commerce also brought many problems, and businessmen would also reflect this demand to the upper echelons.

Today's business is built on rootlessness, without a strong backer, and completely depends on the quality of the ruling class.

Merchants had conflicts, and disputes would have been dealt with by the police. But gradually it became clear that these police officers would inevitably become corrupt once they touched money. Although Orbans has banned and even fired many high-ranking officials. But it still treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
