It's the beginning of May, and it's already early summer, and in the past two months, a lot has happened in Kanna, first of all, another stream of displaced people has arrived in the territory, numbering in the hundreds.

This made Ryan very worried, because they were still from Martonshire, next to Lintonshire, and the rebellion had not yet been quelled, which gave him a bad feeling.

If the war continues to be anxious, it is difficult to guarantee that the Grand Duke of the Southern Border will not continue to recruit troops to participate in quelling the rebellion, and Lintonshire will definitely bear the brunt of the rebellion at that time, because Martonshire is too close.

Then there was the first exam in the school, and it turned out that the learning effect was very good, and most of them achieved their desired goals, which made Ryan very happy.

The construction of the cement road is also progressing in an orderly manner, and a month ago, the construction team began to pave the cement road in the city, which the people called sand magic.

In fact, cement and river sand can be used as a material for paving, although the pavement is not as solid as the concrete of the previous life, and it is not so smooth and beautiful.

But compared to the muddy dirt road that rains I don't know how many times, the first road is the castle leading to the north of the city, with a total length of nearly one kilometer, and it took nearly half a month to repair.

After the cement road is repaired, it needs to be maintained for at least 20 days, during which time it is forbidden not to set foot on it, but there are always a few curious people who step everywhere on the cement road that has not dried up.

It was only after being ordered by Ryan to catch a few typical boards and parade on the street that this trend was curbed, and the subsequent laying was carried out smoothly.

Now, a month has passed, and the first road has been officially put into use, and the people have realized that the black mud at the beginning has really become as solid as stone.

In this world, everything beyond one's own knowledge can be attributed to magic, so it has been passed down that it has become the magic of the lord, adding a touch of mystery to Ryan.

Closer to home, when Ryan signed the order for a large number of sustained paper-making, one problem came to him again: printing.

Although there is already engraving printing in this world, most of the time it still relies on manual copying, because engraving printing is time-consuming and laborious, and after printing, the engraving can only be burned as firewood, and there is no value of reuse.

In addition, the circulation of knowledge is strictly controlled, and there are very few books that need to be printed and disseminated in large quantities, so there are not many places that can be used, and they are often copied by hand. At the same time, a profession was born that specialized in copying books for a living, and was called a professional copyist.

As a result, movable type printing once again became Lane's choice, and I had to sigh that the wisdom of the ancients was applicable in any world.

Compared with papermaking, movable type printing is a lot simpler, but it is necessary to do a proper localization, the current scheme has two, one is to make only a single letter, and then combine it when used.

The advantage of this is that it is relatively simple to make, but the font needs to be made very small, otherwise it will appear to be very widely spaced, and it is also very troublesome to combine when using.

The other solution is to make a word model in the form of words, make thousands of commonly used words, and use them directly to take them out and use them, and they can be classified with the first letter of the word, and they can be found more quickly when used.

Compared to the alphabet font, the disadvantage of the word font is that it is more cumbersome to make, the number is many times higher, and it is not as flexible as it.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and Ryan finally chose the word model after careful consideration, as long as the user has a certain cultural foundation, the arrangement and combination will be very fast, and there is no need to make the word mold small.

Just as he was about to put pen to paper about the production process, he was furious with an urgent message that Fitrol's returning party had been inexplicably detained by Baron Brese as it passed through Barony Brace, on the grounds that he suspected that the other party was carrying dangerous goods into the country.

This outrageous and absurd reason made Ryan laugh angrily, what is considered a dangerous goods? The scope is too broad, strictly speaking, the swords carried by the guards are dangerous goods, this is completely aimed at him, it is Chi Guoguo's provocation!

"I really didn't expect that as a nobleman of the kingdom, I was so open-minded, I let you go at the time, and now I actually jumped out to block me!"

Ryan's eyes flashed with coldness, he has always adhered to the principle of not offending me, I don't offend others, and never took the initiative to make enemies, but he didn't expect the other party to come up again and again like a mad dog.

Besides, it's nothing else, Fitlore is his own financial officer, and he has been searching for magic crystals and rare materials for months outside, which is digging the root of his life!

Uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it, if he doesn't get the field back, how can he Lane still mix in the kingdom?

"Herald the Knight Commander Allen, all the soldiers of the First Legion will be rebuilt, all the vacations will be canceled, and they will enter a state of combat readiness. He also led the second battalion to the border between Kanna and Bress to stand by, carrying heavy weapons.

After arriving, I practiced day and night, and I wanted to see if he dared to fight this battle with me! ”

Two scorching streams of air erupted from Ryan's nose, and his tone was full of iron-blooded murderous aura.

Garrisoning an entire battalion of soldiers to the border is of course not really to fight Baron Brace directly, but to create pressure on him, and if the other party is interested, he should send the supplies and people intact.

It's just that if the other party is not interested, Ryan will inevitably tear his face and fight with him, even if it is a noble court, he will take advantage of it!

He firmly believed that the other party would not dare to make a move, because the territories of the two sides were on the same border, and any little military force had to be prepared to resist the invasion of the orcs, and if the other party had the courage to fight, it would not be better this winter whether they won or lost......

In the barracks, Alan was a little surprised when he received the order, but he still faithfully and firmly began to carry out Ryan's order, and more than half of the soldiers who worked in the family farm were summoned to return to the building, and after distributing weapons and equipment, they left the city in a big way.

Along the way, they did not hide their whereabouts, and the eyes that focused on the Kana collar suddenly shook, and thousands of well-equipped soldiers were a force to be reckoned with wherever they were.

And Baron Brace, who caused all this, had already received the news before the second battalion reached the border of the two territories, he was not a fool, and after detaining Ryan's people, he sent people to keep an eye on Ryan's movements.

If the other party chooses to swallow his anger, rumors will spread throughout Linton County in the next moment, and Ryan will be ruined!

After Viscount Chels' castle was defeated by Ryan, he set out to gather news about him, and learned that Ryan had suffered heavy losses during the last orc invasion, and that the refugees had not even had enough food to eat, so he planned the event.

In his mind, as long as Ryan is not stupid, he will not confront him, and in the end he can only swallow this breath, and when the time comes, he will completely overwhelm him, and he will be ashamed.

Who knows, the other party does not play cards according to the routine at all, and directly presses the army, which has the meaning of life and death if he is not satisfied.

"Smack!"

A delicate vase was smashed to the ground by Blaise, and the fragments flew everywhere, and the surrounding civil and military officials did not dare to come out, for fear of becoming the object of catharsis.

"How dare he! He's just a baron who has missed the throne, how dare he! ”

Blaise roared angrily, his fist slammed on the table, he was not afraid, he felt that he had been provoked and insulted!

A man who had thousands of casualties in the defensive battle against the orc invasion actually showed his muscles at himself.

"If he wants to fight, I'll see how he spends this winter." Blaise kicked over a chair and yelled angrily.

"My lord, calm down, my lord, the other party's strength is not weak, if the sword and soldiers face each other, it will be difficult for us to resist the orc raid no matter whether we win or lose."

Fortunately, there were still smart people, and his chief knight saw that he had lost his mind, and hurriedly poured cold water on him.

He is in charge of the military affairs of the territory, and he knows how many catties and taels he has, and he can just block the level of the orcs, so he really doesn't have the capital to fight this one.

"Why, you're saying I'm not as good as him Blake, he's not afraid of what I'm afraid of!" Blaise's eyes widened and he questioned angrily, having long since lost the demeanor and etiquette of a nobleman.

He will never forget the night he lay on a cold stretcher, waiting for the priest to be treated, and he is sure that if it wasn't for the timely treatment, he would have gone to see the Lord of Light!

Every time he thought of Ryan's name, he felt a dull pain in his chest in his ribs, which had healed for the closest he had ever been to death.

As soon as he came to his senses, he swore that he would pay the price for Lane, blood and tears!

Seeing this, the chief knight hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Of course he is not as good as you, and the other party also knows this, so why does he dare to do this?" It's nothing more than a bluff, this is to negotiate with you, let's just hang him, he doesn't dare to do it.

If you fall into his hands at this time, it will be against you to go to the court of the nobility. ”

Hearing this, Blaise's anger decreased slightly, and after slowly pacing and pondering, he suddenly figured out that he had been carried away by anger before, and he had less consideration, but fortunately, someone reminded him in time.

He glanced at the chief knight appreciatively, nodded and said, "That's true, he's just a paper tiger." But we can't let him show off his might on the border, how many people can the territory recruit now? ”

"In addition to the soldiers defending the city, we can probably recruit more than 2,000 militiamen with combat experience."

"Okay, you quickly order the conscription of two thousand militiamen, and then take people to confront them, and we will also crush him in terms of momentum, and we can also prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry."

Brace smiled coldly, two thousand people against a thousand people, that's not a hand-holder?

Unlike the Kana Collar, the Bress Collar only has a small standing army, which is probably only a few hundred people, which is enough in normal times. In wartime, militiamen with combat experience were conscripted, and the cost of military salaries could be greatly reduced.

In fact, the main reason is that he is too poor, unlike Ryan, the family behind him has long been down, and they can't support him much at all, so they can only reduce the number of standing armies, which is done in many territories on the border.

Soon, the armies of both sides began to confront each other at the borders of the territory.

Alan rode a tame wildebeest, a heavy silver armor that reflected a dazzling light in the scorching sun, and a large sword hanging from his waist, looking majestic.

He stood quietly in front, and the soldiers of the second battalion behind him lined up tightly in formation, forming ten military formations composed of large groups.

They held sharp spears in their hands, strong shields, and were full of murderous energy.

When the chief knight of Blaise saw it, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he found that his speculation seemed to be slightly wrong.

The other side is indeed only more than 1,000 people, but the army is neat, wearing a uniform uniform, and the armor rate is more than fifty percent.

Moreover, the military formation is tight and murderous, and the soldiers' eyes are full of determination, even in the face of enemies far more than themselves, they are not timid, they are well-trained at first glance, and they are not like that.

What particularly frightened him was the team behind the tall knight opposite, a whole team, all dressed in some kind of heavy armor, which looked like it was made of scales on the body of a demonic beast, with a metallic texture.

"Heavy Infantry Formation, Crossbow Formation, Cavalry Formation......"

The more he looked at him, the more frightened he felt, the other party only had a thousand people, but the complete range of troops made it difficult for him to accept. He had also spent time in the Northern Expeditionary Force, and he knew what such an army meant.

He looked behind him, although there were more than 2,000 people, but they were dressed in a variety of clothes, and the military formation was not tight, although it was also aggressive, and the morale was high.

But the two sides are like regular armies and miscellaneous armies, do they really have a chance of winning when they fight?

He didn't know, he didn't know the bottom of his heart.

"Grass, didn't you say that he had suffered a lot of losses, didn't you say that he didn't have any food to eat? What if this can really raise such an army? The chief knight cursed in his heart, and had already greeted the eighteenth generation of female relatives of the ancestors of the person in charge of intelligence.

He was observing, and Alan was not making comparisons, and he finally came to the conclusion that although the other party was a militiaman, his eyes were full of fierceness and anger, and he had obviously seen blood, and he couldn't be treated as a ragtag army.

But he also had that self-confidence, it would only take half an hour to tear apart their formation, and it would take two or three hours to end the battle.

The two sides are really not on the same level, and military combat is different from petty gangster brawls, and the coordination between various arms and military formations is more important.

The two chief knights looked at each other, and they could see that the other did not want to do it for the time being.

"It's Knight Captain Allen on the other side, right? What do you mean by this, trying to provoke infighting? ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he first labeled the Kanna leader as undermining unity and stability. is very aristocratic, first seize the moral high ground, after all, this world also pays attention to teachers are famous, and things are done for a reason.

"Your Excellency said it seriously, our side is just conducting military training in the territory, and it is not aimed at any party, so how can we talk about provoking internal fighting? After all, if people don't offend me, I don't offend people. ”

Allen's eyes were like lightning, and he replied as he looked at him earnestly.

"Military training? I believe you're a ghost. ”
