Chapter 43: It's a Time to Celebrate
The roads in the forest are rugged, and these roads were improvised by the Imperial Expeditionary Force many years ago, and the quality is not to be complimented. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Coupled with the heavy rain over the years, the only bridgehead of mankind in the Far East, the Black Fire Family, is also unable to maintain it.
This makes the road very muddy when it rains, almost to the point where it is impossible to get your feet.
It is also thanks to the fact that the Far Easterners have long been accustomed to this, and those orcs who climb the mountain as if walking on the ground are left alone, Lin Ye once asked the hunters of Lieyang Village what they think about building roads.
Orion scratched his head and replied that they had no contact with the outside world, and it made no difference whether they built roads or not.
Lin Ye's expression was serious, and to build an economic community in the Far East, road construction is a matter that must be put on the agenda.
Of course, with their current strength, the scope of road construction is only limited to the vicinity of the Black Fire Castle.
"My lord, now that our Black Fire Castle is relatively closed, everyone will understand the benefits of building roads in the future. "After all, Lancelot is a man from the imperial capital and knows the importance of building roads to stimulate the economy.
Moreover, his position as a knight in the Black Fire Castle was very embarrassing, and he lacked enough war horses.
Second, the complex terrain of the Far East made it difficult for cavalry to deploy effectively.
The Empire's expeditionary forces had suffered enough.
Moreover, the previous battle of Guillotine Valley was also the shining of Dussel's infantry, and the cavalry could only watch from the wall.
This is Lancelot's unspeakable heart disease.
"In the future, although the united war in the Far East will still be dominated by infantry, we cannot ignore the training of cavalry, because our stage is not only the Far East, Lancelot, I hope that one day the elite cavalry of our Far Easterners can gallop in the vast plains of the interior, and you can't relax. ”
Lin Ye saw the knight's heart and said a wordless word to comfort him.
"My lord!" Lancelot looked at the duke who had inherited the family business at a young age, his face full of shock.
"What's wrong?" Lin Ye didn't understand how the knight chief could have such an expression, and asked a little strangely.
"It's nothing, we're going to the castle soon. Lancelot managed to squeeze out a smile and rode forward.
It was not that he was deliberately hiding something from the Duke, but that the young Duke's unintentional words set off shocking waves in his heart.
The cavalry of the Far Easterners galloped inland in the plains?
What does that mean?
A trace of cold sweat oozed from Lancelot's forehead.
Since he is a retainer of the Black Fire Family, if there really is that day, he will definitely stand firmly behind the adult.
Even the opponent on the battlefield will be the last person he wants to see!
He secretly made up his mind!
"Finally back. Although Lin Ye noticed the strangeness of Lancelot's expression, he didn't think much about it.
As the saying goes, there is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people.
He always had a lot of trust in this loyal knight.
"Your Excellency, you are back. "The military and political officials, led by Monsieur Moda and Dussel, were already waiting at the gate of the castle to greet them.
"Look, the Duke has returned, oh, they've brought a lot of stuff with them. ”
"My lord, how was this Goddess Festival? Did we sell out of beer, and how much did we sell?"
"Why do you need two or three hundred silver coins? Anyway, I've almost forgotten what the coins look like, what do those orcs think of our beer?"
When the villagers of the nearby villages saw Lin Ye's convoy returning to the castle, they came over to inquire about the situation.
Children and teenagers, in particular, are curious about the outside world, but they have never set foot outside the vast Black Forest due to the complexity of the landscape.
Every piece of news about the outside world is a whole week of excitement for them.
Seeing the curious faces of these children, Lin Ye made up his mind to take them out of the Far East.
Their dreams shouldn't be blocked by the cold and reckless river of Blackwater!
"Thanks to everyone, it's going well, Lancelot, divide some of the jerky and fruits we bought, and the orcs, bring some over, and we're going to hold a banquet tonight to celebrate this success!"
"Hooray!"
The people cheered at this, and in the laughter, Lin Ye slowly returned to the castle.
"My lord, the hot water and clothes are ready for you, go and take a bath. After Lin Ye had a meeting with Mr. Moda, Chief Dussel and others, Milia was at the door of the conference hall and said softly.
"It won't be long before the orcs will send a batch of iron ore over, send a few people to assist Bard, and let him train a few more little blacksmiths, I am afraid that he alone will be a little unable to build such a number of ordnance, and besides, our ordnance must take a good route, and there is no need for inferior products. ”
After walking out of the conference hall, Lin Ye kept telling Dussel and Kate until he saw Milia, and then said goodbye to them.
"Milia, you've been working the trivial matters in the castle these days. Lin Ye smiled slightly.
The previous few days of intrigue with those patriarchs had exhausted him, but when he saw Miria's gentle smiling face, most of his tiredness dissipated.
"It's not hard, how can there be adults who are tired in front of you, go take a bath, and you have to go to the banquet in a while." Miria smiled slightly.
Lin Ye nodded, after a few days of bumping outside, his body was indeed dirty and smelly.
"Link, you're back. The girl hiding behind the pillar pounced happily when she saw Lin Ye coming over.
"Well, how has Mel been studying lately?" Lin Ye hugged her up, smiling and groaning.
He took care of the amnesiac girl as if she were his sister and taught her some of the Chinese characters.
"It's so hard to learn, it's harder to remember than the Holy Scriptures. Mel said with some displeasure.
She only appeared after Miria walked away, and for some reason she seemed to be very different from Milia.
Holy scriptures?
Lin Ye wrote down this word, and although Mel had lost her memory, she would always inadvertently say some key words.
However, Lin Ye didn't ask her about this, recovering her memory was a long process.
Haste makes waste.
"It's hard to learn, but it's not going to be hard for the smart Mel, I'll take Mel out to play these two days. Lin Ye put her down, and now everything is gradually getting normal.
He will open up a new industrial chain from other channels, leaving him not much time for stable development, and the pace of development must be accelerated.
To this end, he also discussed with the ministers at the meeting, and handed Mr. Moda a detailed plan for the next six months, which he had written on the way back.
This is his habit, writing down the plan and implementing it step by step is much better than a mess in his head.
Link promised Mel that he would not go back. She cheered, just like an ordinary girl.
"Well, no repentance. Lin Ye made a promise.
"My lord, according to your wishes, we will have an open-air barbecue in the square of Crescent Village to celebrate the success of this goddess festival, and everyone is waiting for you. Mr. Murray smiled and urged.
Now the momentum of the development of Blackfire Castle can be described as booming.
It's all thanks to the Duke.
"Mel, let's go, it's a night to celebrate. Lin Ye looked up at the full moon in the sky.
Pulling Mel towards the square of Crescent Village.
