On the afternoon of the 13th, on the south shore of the Falling Moon Lake in the Galloping Horse Plain, the northernmost camp of the territory named North 8 Castle, that is, the castle watchtower built by Rand for the sea beasts of the Falling Moon Lake, Rand and the female knight Dandilian were watching the battle in the northern lake.

Compared to the war in the fjord north of Brejak, the battle on the Moon Lake side is slightly smaller, and the lake passes through a fjord to the north is completely frozen ice, and this only outlet to the sea will not thaw until after April, so the only enemy of the sea beasts in the lake is now only a merfolk.

However, even so, the courtyard of the North 8 Castle is still full of containers with life magic patterns, and the half-cow Imola and several rabbit life priests are constantly running to check their wounds.

"The battle in the water seems to last longer and be more brutal than the one on the road." Dandilian said suddenly.

"Wars on land are very bloody, but because of blood, they can be ended in a short time, and there are not so many losses for both sides of the war," Randt concluded. ”

"None of that sounds good." The female knight frowned, she didn't expect Rand to be so pessimistic about the situation of the Sea Beast Clan, so she asked, "But shouldn't the Sea Beasts have an advantage with their demonic containers and those weapons?" Isn't it enough to achieve a quick victory? ”

"In the face of sea monsters and merfolks, the sea beast clan is a standard small country and widows, and weapons have only brought them tactical improvements, but they have not gained strategic or combat advantages, and it is quite good to be able to achieve the current results." Rand shook his head, also bitter in his heart.

If you borrow the situation of your hometown as a comparison, the Sea Beast Clan is relying on the assistance of foreign races to fight against a small country of the surrounding powers, it seems that the small country can obtain unlimited resources, but the population and strategic depth are far weaker than the opponent, just relying on some equipment improvements, it is not enough to defeat the big country.

Even the fact that Rand provided some weapons that would help the Sea Beasts only increased the duration and bloodiness of the war, and did not change the outcome of the Sea Beasts' eventual defeat to the Sea Monsters.

Sometimes Rand himself wondered if he would have defected to the Poseidon family and helped the merfolk and sea monsters fight against the dragons, or at least wouldn't have been enemies of the entire ocean.

However, now, the situation does not allow him to maneuver, his territory is too far from the sea, too close to the dragons, all he can do is let the sea beasts wait for change, and hold on as long as possible.

"Your Excellency?" Dandilian interrupted Rand's thoughts, "So the task you gave me was to keep me here?" ”

"Yes, judging from the information I have learned, the mermaid's attack on the Falling Moon Lake will probably last for a long time, they want to completely wear down the power of the sea beastmen, and now the sea ice can no longer resist them."

Rand looked to the north, the width of the lake was so wide that even if Rand had good eyesight, it would be difficult to see the north shore of the lake.

"Of course, if you can improve the strategic position of the Sea Beast Clan here, whether it is me or Red Dragon Rock, I will give you enough rewards."

"You really look up to me!" Dandilian said with a smile.

"To help the Sea Beast Clan, you don't have to go into the water to fight, you can increase their breeding rate, you can change their tactics, and you can also disrupt the magic of the Merfolk Clan." Hearing the words of the female knight, Rand did not refute, but continued, "In short, around the war, there will always be more opportunities for knights, it depends on whether you can seize it." ”

Dandilian thought for a moment, and suddenly caught the idea: "My lord? Can I contact Tierney? ”

"Good idea!" Rant nodded, "You can contact him, but Tierney can't come in person, he can only move between Roseburg and Night Kirk City now." ”

"Well, okay," the female knight found her way, and suddenly felt a lot more relieved, "My lord, there are still some healing rooms to be built here, and more magic cabinets are also needed, I can contact the Lan Yuan family to set up a portal here, and in addition, I also hope to invite some amorous orcs to come over and ......"

Dandilian has put forward several requirements one after another, all of which are measures that can effectively strengthen the medical resources in the castle, or enhance the capacity of the castle.

Seeing the female knight enter the state, Rand was very happy, at least this royal descendant finally used his cleverness in the right direction.

"You can make a list for me, and I'll do my best."

Rand gave Dandilian a few words of encouragement, and then passed through the meditation room and returned to Night Qi City.

After traveling to Rosebourg in the morning, Rand made exquisite balls for Greia's two older brothers, who were as talented in magic as Greia, but more experienced, and with a little bit of Greia's touch, the two of them understood the mystery of the dragon's tentacles, and could operate on the huge sea beasts.

With more medical strength, several large operating rooms in Rosebourg have been completely filled, but the rand has been completely liberated. In addition to Rosebourg, the situation in the new industrial area is similar, and Jonny and Sophia have returned to the new area after completing the magic pattern depiction of a new batch of 16 magic furnaces.

Not only did they come back, but they also came back with a group of dwarves who were studying in the Salt and Iron Division, and even a few families who had provoked Sophia before, and sent more than a dozen magicians to apply for the mage position in the new industrial area, so that the well-staffed new industrial area no longer needed Rand to help.

Even in the northern part of the city, because of Agni and Neil, who went to comfort the barbarians who spent the winter, there was no need for Rand to go for the time being.

As a result, Rand, who should have been the busiest, is now idle, and he only needs to think about the future official establishment and industrial policy of the Galloping Horse Kingdom with peace of mind.

Rand, who had been emptied, simply hid in the control lock of the little cardinal, and wrote a plan for the future while looking at the specific situation of each city in the current territory.

"Rand, the current problem in our territory is that the population is too small, especially those who are reliable and capable," as soon as the little cardinal heard that he wanted to understand the situation, he began to vent bitterness,

"The knights of those big families are just like that Pete Maned Wolf, once they find that they can take charge of a city, they will more or less seek personal interests for themselves and their families.

As for the children of the small family, either they want to be knights like Uffy, or they are more greedy than the big families like Gatsby, and there are also those like Dandilian, who want to pull the nobles off their horses and take the throne themselves. ”
