The miners had already gone to the mine under the guidance of the soldiers, preparing for the work of blasting the rocks.

Normally, this is a complex and cumbersome process, and in order to ensure that the pit can be blown up to the fullest, miners need to carefully measure the structure of the mountain.

Then equipped with a large amount of gunpowder to repeatedly detonate at a specific location.

But this time, it is believed that he will find the job of blowing up the mine unusually easy.

Ronan had already been sent to the Mole to dig pores in the topsoil of the upper layer of the mine.

The pores that spread out inside will be pierced by the force of the impact when the gunpowder is detonated, causing the entire layer of topsoil to be overturned.

There was still a lot to worry about, and Ronan didn't have time to wait for the miners to dig out the pit slowly.

There was no sign of the barbarian savages in the frozen ground, and Ronan needed to take advantage of this free time to go back to Black Rock City.

As the acting lord of Blackstone City, he has been away from the city for more than a month.

You need to go back and sort out the state of the city and deal with the accumulated government affairs.

Not only that, but he also needs to find the management personnel stationed in Blackstone City to sign a purchase order for steel, which is also the largest customer of coal.

When Ronan found Kasanna, she was telling a story to a group of children.

Whether it is the homeless people or the local villagers, it is natural that there are not only young laborers among them, but also a large number of elderly women and children.

In order to ensure that they can stay in the cold wind collar safely, Ronan also made targeted arrangements for these people.

The elderly and children are cared for during the day in a special recreation area, while the women are paid to work in bakeries, laundry rooms, etc.

"Are we going back to Blackstone?" After listening to Ronan's words, Kasanna looked up at him and ran to him happily.

"Yes, we'll leave at noon."

They were joined by Commander Arman and two hundred and thirty Castle Army, whose families remained in Blackstone.

In addition, Ronan also drew a hundred men from his soldiers to follow, so that he could make arrangements if needed.

Following the road, the group arrived at Black Rock City in the afternoon.

Rudolph, the commander of the city defense army, had already received the notice of the flying letter and was waiting at the door.

"Lord Ronan, Lord Viscount, you are back."

As soon as he saw them, Rudolph hurried over, his face full of anxiety.

"What's wrong with the city during this time?" Ronan asked him.

It stands to reason that the vampires have long been secretly eliminated, and nothing serious should happen.

"The first thing is about the results of the great search in the city." Rudolph had shame in his eyes, "I am ashamed of the trust I placed in you, and I have not been able to find any trace of the vampire. ”

"It may not be your problem, maybe the vampire has already fled outside the city, so this is the end of the search, so be vigilant in the future." Ronan reassured.

"Thank you for your kindness." Rudolph breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued, "The second thing is about the Hemman family of the Ironstone Realm, just in the morning, they sent someone to Blackstone City for urgent help. ”

"Help? Go on. Ronan was surprised.

"According to the message sent by the other side, three days ago, there was a riot in the mines of the Ironland, and a large number of miners and slaves rebelled at night, killing the overseers of the family, and sacking the soot town near the mine, which is a key location for the family to refine steel and forge weapons."

"After these rebellious slaves became armed, they even chose to besiege the family's stronghold, Steel Town, and Lord Vicky has sent you an urgent plea for help, hoping that you can lead the soldiers to help the family suppress the riot."

After listening to his words, Ronan was a little confused.

Miners riots? He remembered that the five hundred mercenary slaves he sold to the other party must not have been made by these mercenaries.

Recalling Lady Vicky's confident eyes in the face of her own vigilant reminder after taking over the slaves, Ronan really didn't know what to say.

No way, the gang still has to help.

"How big was the slave of the rebellion?"

According to the messenger's report, it is roughly estimated that there are thousands of people, most of whom are vulnerable and vulnerable. The trouble was the fifty-odd men in the lead, who routed the more than a hundred soldiers in Soottown head-on, making the rebellion difficult to contain. ”

Ronan nodded, indicating that he already understood.

It seems that there are quite a few amazing warriors among those mercenaries.

He was able to defeat twice as many soldiers with his bare hands while being shackled as a slave.

It's a pity that he was directly put down by him with a tube of ecstasy, and his ability couldn't be used at all.

"Ronan, can you help the Iron and Stone Collar." Kasanna, who heard the news of her mother's family, tugged at the corner of his coat.

"You should ask yourself this, the castle army does not listen to my command."

Hearing his words, Kasanna turned her head to look at Arman and the other Castle Army soldiers, and under her gaze, everyone knelt on one knee and said in unison:

"There are two hundred and thirty-one soldiers in the castle army, and they are willing to serve you!"

"Then I'd like to help." Kasanna looked at Ronan wistfully.

"Let's go, don't really have an accident if you're late." Ronan helped Kasanna onto his steed, and then sat down behind her.

The city defense army needs to manage the order of Blackstone City, and at the same time, it is not cavalry, so there is no need to call it up.

Fortunately, after Ronan got the horses of the Pexx family, he asked the ten knight attendants to arrange horseback riding training for the soldiers.

So far, more than a hundred people have been able to meet the minimum standard of cavalry, led by the squire White, and have been taken by Ronan's side.

"Everybody get on the horse! Target Ironclad and aid the family! ”

Most of the people in the slave rebellion were weak people who lacked combat power, and they did not have the ability to resist professional soldiers, and they were purely to raise their heads.

The real threat was also the 500 mercenaries, and the more than 50 people in the lead.

Just use them to train the morale of his soldiers, Ronan thought to himself.

More than four months of professional training have passed, and I have not fought a serious battle, and I don't know how effective the training is.

Ronan's original training plan for soldiers was to follow strict rules and regulations, and select loyal elites from among them to learn the knightly breathing method and form a knightly team.

The trophy he got from Viscount Claude, the White Bear Breathing Method, is very suitable for cultivating soldiers in the frozen soil, which can greatly increase the ability to resist cold.

And follow the mainstream direction of the times, be able to develop yourself while effectively reducing the attention of the outside world.

The aristocracy of this era tended to be extremely sensitive to military affairs, and Ronan speculated that this was the reason why the merchants of the Dantuma League did not try to use gunpowder for military purposes, and even fireworks never appeared.

The situation in the empire has not yet fallen into complete chaos.

Scientific research can be carried out, and the army is equipped with it, and Ronan does not plan to be the first to emerge.
