Chapter 65: Reinforcement
"Ronnat, stay with me for the time being. Jason thought for a moment and said.
Lancelot has been following him lately, and things on the side of the army have been a little delayed, and now that he has a strong guard, he can finally go back and concentrate on military affairs.
"Yes, sir. Ronnet bowed his head in reply, and stood beside him, and said no more.
It seems to be a taciturn guy again, Jason thought to himself as he looked at the strong man standing beside him without squinting.
Picking up the scattered belongings, he summoned the dwarf Rodney again.
"Rodney, I'd like to ask. Jason tapped on the armrest, looked at the dwarf with some alcohol on his body and asked, "Are all the dwarves as tall as you?"
There's always a reason to be called a dwarf, right?, but Rodney's height is about the same height as an average human in the interior, which is obviously unreasonable.
"Of course!" Rodney said with a slight respectful tone as he stroked his beard.
Just now when Lancelot had taken him to fetch wine, he had warned him to be respectful to his lord, and to treat him as if he were the king of his dwarves.
Originally, he wanted to refute two sentences, after all, the dwarven king was the most respected figure in the entire dwarven kingdom, but when he saw the eyes of this gentle-looking human and the aura emanating from his body, he agreed to it.
Although the comprehensive quality of dwarves is stronger than that of humans, they have not awakened their extraordinary powers.
The dwarven king in his impression is not as dangerous as this one looks, so this dwarf Rodney will become so respectful when facing Jason, otherwise how could he be so obedient with the dwarf's big grinning personality.
"Then why are you called a dwarf?" Jason wondered.
"Because it's the Titans who named us!" Rodney rightly said, but in the eyes of the giants, who were generally about five meters tall, were dwarves of their own.
"Are there really Titans?" Jason asked, aren't these guys legendary creatures, and if there really are such powerful creatures, isn't this world under their control?
"There should be, right?" Rodney's tone was uncertain, after all, he hadn't seen this race before, but the dwarven name was Titan, and the idea was well established in the dwarven realm.
"But even if there were, it was in antiquity from an unknown number of years ago. He added.
"Hmm. Jason nodded, satisfying his curiosity.
Let the group of mages explore these things, there is no need to delve into them, and they are of little use to the territory, the less they know, the better they can live.
"Do you have any experience in prospecting?"
"Every dwarf is a master prospector, because we have been dealing with ore all our lives. Rodney proudly says that there is really no one more expert in forging and finding ore veins.
"I've found a vein of Pure Heart Stone in the north, and you'll need to survey its size when the time comes. Jason said that it wasn't that he didn't trust the Kyle family, but since he had a professional here, he might as well add a layer of protection.
"That kind of stone is useless, and it can't be used to forge weapons, and it's just a burden to open it. Rodney waved his hand in disgust, the ore that couldn't be used as forging material in the eyes of their dwarves was waste.
They don't like the gem mines, which are treasured in human society, they can't think of any use other than being used as decorations, and the dwarves are a race of things, they pursue practicality.
This is the exact opposite of what the elves are pursuing.
"I need them to increase the income of the territory, where can I buy ore for you to forge equipment without money?" Jason said angrily, it is really a full man who is hungry but not a poor man.
"......" Rodney stopped talking when he heard this, and it would be a shame to continue to talk about it.
"You're going to the munitions factory to lead the blacksmith from tomorrow. Jason thought about it for a moment and decided that this was the best place for Rodney, and he liked to strike iron, so let him play enough.
"By the way, teach your experience to the craftsmen there, okay?" If you can let this group of craftsmen learn dwarven crafts, it will also be of great benefit to your own development.
And the weapons and equipment produced by the dwarves are much more sophisticated than those of human craftsmen, which is the exquisite craftsmanship of this race that has been passed down from generation to generation.
"That's all right, my lord!" Rodney slammed his chest and assured that he would have to hold on to it when he was acting in front of adults.
"Well, go down and get a good night's rest, and go to work tomorrow. Jason nodded and said, and finally added, "It's better to hide your dwarven identity first, after all, the dwarven race hasn't appeared for hundreds of years." ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Go and call Lancelot in. Jason waved his hand to signal that Rodney could go down.
The dwarf saluted and turned to leave, and Lancelot pushed the door open, glancing at Ronnat beside him.
Very strong! Strong momentum is restrained, and he is a strong man who is about to step into the realm of earth knights.
Ronnet only rolled his eyes as he entered, and then stopped moving, like an iron tower standing there.
"Introduction, this is Lancelot, this is Lonnat. Jason opened his mouth to introduce that understanding each other is a necessary prerequisite for their cooperation.
"Hello!" Lancelot smiled and nodded at him.
"Hello, mighty knight of Great Britain, your reputation is so great that I always thought it was just a legend. Ronnat turned to face Lancelot and looked at him solemnly.
However, his response reminded Jason of a song.
Don't be obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend......
"Lancelot, from today onwards, my security will be in charge of Lonnat for the time being, you can go back and take care of the affairs of the army. Jason said.
"And, I need you to recruit adult men from all the villages in the realm, and I want you to increase your army to a thousand this winter. ”
He planned to lead his troops to the ice field in the spring of the next year to occupy the Qingxinshi vein after the frost-free period had passed.
"Yes, sir!" Lancelot immediately guessed the reason for Jason's troop increase, and replied solemnly.
"In addition, Gareth was informed that Erbia needed more troops. "Jason thinks that the three hundred soldiers of Erbia are really not enough, and it may be a little difficult to defend the whole of Erbia.
"Well, there's nothing else to do for the time being, you go down and prepare. After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to prepare for the time being.
"Then I'll quit first. Lancelot saluted again, then turned and withdrew.
Jason thought for a moment in his seat, then took the paper and began to write down some of the things he needed to prepare for the near future.
The first is the thing to prepare for tomorrow's grand ceremony, this is the most important thing in front of us, the medal to be prepared has been created, plus the sacrifices, fifty expedition members will receive this badge.
Then there is the knighthood ceremony of Dorne on this day, and he will also need to be given a village as a fief.
However, none of the villages around Irontooth are currently very wealthy, only those on the edge of the realm are relatively wealthy, after all, those places are far away from Ironfang, and the influence of Sir Och's reign is less for them.
However, these places are really too far away, and the transportation is inconvenient, it takes several days to make a round trip, and Dorne's father Dia is the mayor of Iron Tooth, so it is not suitable to be his fief.
"It's distressing. Jason pinched his forehead.
The poor village didn't seem to value him, it was too far away and it didn't fit, which really saddened Jason.
