After a chaotic period of unprecedented proportions, the small city of Burgundy is once again in the midst of its hectic and rapid development

"The Lino Bili Chamber of Commerce has opened a new trade route, opening up our first stone carvings along the Romandi route, and five well-known sculptors have settled in the city & the order book is now a bit overwhelming...... Our stonemasons have delivered about fifty finished products in these two ten days, but there are at least a few hundred orders in the backlog......"

Old John, who had completed his rough transformation from a blacksmith to an old butler, bent over and frothed at the young lord as he reported the recent developments in the realm, and he was clearly enthusiastic about his new identity, and the vanity of his title made him more dedicated to his already small work, even if his only allegiance was visibly absent-minded at the moment.

"In terms of teaching words, the kids learn very quickly, but the ordinary ones ...... Well, people, the people are not very interested, but we are now trying to channel their interest in some other way, in Anna Sui, um, ahem, in short, we have built a theater, and we have set up signs all over the city, prohibiting them from shouting and provoking, so that they can know some simple words on the one hand, and on the other hand, we can make the city quieter......"

Edward flipped through the accounts of the trade in stone and stone statues in his hand, and noticed that the hand on the paper was in beautiful Rococo font - paying attention to every subtle connection, delicate and feminine. There is a kind of pride that reveals the end of the pen, and there is no need to guess who it is.

In fact, on his left-hand side, there was already a pile of paper full of such letters, from taxes to expenditures, to exterminate the collection of the two bands, the transfer of personnel, and the production capacity of materials. down to the various aspects of the territory...... The entries are extremely well organized, and even the timing of the future is accurate to the hourglass.

"Not bad...... Well done and meticulous. ”

Gently tap on the tabletop. The old blacksmith stopped chattering with a compliment, and he whispered praise, his gaze at his side. The face of the truly commendable man froze, but Anna Sue only tilted her head, as if to dissociate herself from someone who had taken her captive here.

"Lord Edward, my negligence in relation to this commotion has resulted in an error of judgment...... I am willing to bear your chastise. ”

The half-elf mercenary hung his head slightly, and spoke in a low voice, his face so pale that there was not a trace of blood - it was not an easy task to set up hundreds of corpses on the side of the road, especially to kill the more than two hundred captives who were unable to resist...... What's more, you have to see the scene of those crows pecking at the corpses, which is not an easy thing to face even for the battle-hardened mercenaries.

Of course. In fact, it was not him who should be apologized, but someone who made a judgment by claiming to be the agent of the city lord. It's just that this young lady has no real identity in the territory, so she can't be harsh - in the impression of the inhabitants of the city. Her status is based on speculation about her relationship with Edward.

As for what kind of relationship it is...... The jury is inconclusive, for the mysterious lord has been accompanied by three beautiful women, heroic, lovely and dignified, enough to elicit the reverie of several carts and one of the best pastimes of the whole Burgundian people.

"It's not your responsibility. It's me who didn't think it through. Retracting an intriguing glance from Anna Sui, Edward waved his hand and put the matter at that.

In fact, this time it was an unpredictable accident, so it would be foolish to punish anyone.

First of all, the biggest reason is that in the second half of this underground adventure, he has almost completely left the affairs of the city in his mind. All of them are done for one purpose......

And the first problem arose at this time - after returning to the territory, he found that time had unconsciously entered the second half of the Sunny Moon, which was already the beginning of autumn in this world, and at least nearly two ten days had passed since he left.

Of course, although the dark region is deep and dangerous, and there is also the danger of leyline radiation, I have not heard of it distorting time, so the only problem that can be thought of in my memory is probably the ancient portal...... It is said that any portal in this multiverse is connected to the astral plane, and the time in the astral plane is very different from the main material plane.

After such a long period of time, the most direct problem is that the spiritual energy domination he exerted on those old guys has failed, so they naturally have no nostalgia for this place......

Of course, if he hadn't learned some secrets about the Tower of Thunder here, he suspected that the old fellows might have realized the fact that they had been accused of it—the energy invested in the tower's circle alone to stimulate the loss of power used by some of the circles was already a wealth that would be hard to change, and if they were to be angry because of this, Edward would have faced Burgundy, which had been reduced to ashes by the wrath of a few formal mages.

And then there was the group of wolf claws that His Majesty had suddenly sent.

The purpose of these people's arrival is clear but vague...... The Supreme should have known about the slight friction between him and the demon wolf, but whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, this attack should obviously be beyond his plan.

But it was precisely because of this that Edward saw the many shortcomings of Burgundy.

This small territory has gone from a resting place prepared at the beginning, a home, to a high-profile center of conflict, and now it is about the open and secret struggle between His Majesty the King and a Duke over the territory, and in the near future, it may be the believers of the Dawn Body on the entire continent...... As a result, the city's original setting was already difficult to cope with the ensuing changes.

The battle that can be predicted requires at least being prepared to defend against attacks by tens of thousands of people.

However. I know my own affairs - the existing garrison or city guard in Burgundy is only about 300 people.

Except for the dozens of original half-elf mercenaries, the rest were all selected from the civilians of the city, most of them were young people between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, and they had undergone some training as a standing army, but in today's battle, their strength was disappointing. The mercenaries who are the main force have poor judgment, while the civilian soldiers lack the ability to make decisions and are only magically attacked by the other side. The will to fight was completely destroyed.

Edward sighed.

He had planned to train these characters slowly, but now it seems that there is still not a lot of time left for him.

In fact, the existing number of Burgundian soldiers can barely cope with the number of soldiers who can defend a wall, and with the support of giants, it may be a little better, but in the case of a large-scale siege, this density of garrison is still a drop in the bucket......

After all, this is a new city. There is still a lack of a population base.

It can only be supplemented by relying on some individual abilities.

But then, his power may be further weakened.

During this period, however, some of the structures that were secretly excavated under the city could already be used to house new ones. The stealthy combat power, and the return of the little girl, is enough to increase the overall combat power - but according to the strategy set before, he must send the earth elemental creatures out for a while, which will obviously cause an unprecedented void in combat power and defense.

At the same time, you have to set aside some energy to deal with sudden occurrences

Lost in the 1629 Pen Fun Pavilion

Who knows when Lord Ariel will strike on a whim?

"Order all the prime of life to join in the martial arts training. There are also some able-bodied women. At the very least, learn how to shoot a bow and arrow," he said after a moment's thought.

“...... In that case, their abilities are not guaranteed at all. ”

The staff lady suddenly frowned at a beautiful white-gold brow: "I'm afraid that such a soldier will easily collapse when facing a real battle." So my advice is to choose mercenaries ......"

"There's no need, unless you choose to stay in this city for a long time and join the mercenaries of the city's city guards, you don't deserve my trust. Edward waved his hand and continued, "Training is to draw two hourglasses a day, and the rest of the time, they can still do their own work or farm work, and you try to choose those strong craftsmen and skilled hunters, so that you can only train them to obey orders, and to wield tomahawks, hammers, or bow and arrows, according to the characteristics of these people." I don't expect them to have full mastery of all weapons, but at least learn how to fire their bows and arrows. ”

"That's not a problem. The half-elf nodded slightly. It seems that I have finally regained a little bit of self-confidence.

Basically, it's not news in this relatively unproductive and low-manpower plane, and these peasants who originally belonged to a certain territory actually had some experience with it. So, adaptation should be very easy. And the characteristic of this kind of training is that it can be very effective very quickly. Although these ordinary people cannot be compared with the elite knights, they are at least guaranteed to have a certain combat effectiveness.

"Stand upright, take a break, turn left, turn right, you give these few movements, you give them these movements, and then you just pull them in a row and walk forward, you must have the same footsteps on your left and right feet, such training is an hourglass every day, and the remaining hourglass, ordinary soldiers strengthen their understanding of weapons, and the weapons issued to them, I will draw a pattern, you send them to each blacksmith, let them open the furnace for forging, in addition, to forge at least six hundred pieces of chain mail. ”

Of course, the idea of a certain city lord will not be so simple, the next two hourglass scales, he showed the half-elf a few strange movements, and then handed him a pattern with a weapon drawn on it.

A special two-handed broadsword.

"This ...... Your Excellency, isn't such a large weapon a little too difficult for ordinary people to master?"

"My lord, this kind of thing, it doesn't seem difficult to forge, but we don't have so much iron ore and so many manpower?"

"Do you know how long it takes to get six hundred pieces of chain mail?"

The three people gathered around the table frowned at the same time. At the same time, three distinct but crucial issues were raised.

Still, of course, it didn't bother the young lord.

"There is only one kind of martial arts training for these soldiers who are joined by ordinary people. That is to raise the weapon diagonally to the left shoulder, so a quick step forward, so downward qiē. ”

The broadsword was raised diagonally over the shoulder, slashing from the top left to the right, slashing at the nearest enemy with great vigour. It was a tactic that forbade any skill, and the one thing everyone did was to slash the head from the front, trying to split the opponent's weapons and armor together.

Meliane's brow furrowed.

Years of mercenary experience. It made it easy for him to understand the meaning of the young lord's order.

This trick does seem simple, but because it is simple, there is no flaw. Usually it is impossible to give the soldiers too much time to react on the battlefield to play a little bit of fun, and if they run into too advanced opponents, even if these peasant soldiers go up, there is not much meaning. Therefore, any martial art that has been tempered for thousands of years is not as simple and effective as it is simple and effective - this kind of slash is the best means to use, and it is difficult to block such a powerful and heavy oblique slash, and it is impossible to have a chance to retreat. It is the most suitable for use as a battle on the battle array.

"Iron ore is not a problem, I'm going to build a furnace next, you just need to find someone who can beat the billets. ”

Edward's answer to the old blacksmith's question was relatively simple, but what he then brought out. But it's not that simple...... The dozens of pure gold ingots made the old man's eyes almost bigger than the gold ingots

Adamantite may be a scarce commodity for others, but for an upstart like Edward, it's not uncommon.

As for the question of Anna Sui.

Chain ring armor on the system zuò. It is indeed the hardest of all armor.

First of all, the steel should be drawn into a thick steel wire, then hammered into iron bars, and circled into iron rings, and the iron rings should be worn one by one, and the gaps in the iron rings should be filled to become a complete iron ring. It's all time-consuming. Twelve or thirteen people cooperated. It took a day to create a pair of chain mail. And even so, the chain mail made of zuò is actually not very good, and it is okay to deal with arrows, but it can't resist heavy weapons such as battle axes and broadswords, and even the stabbing of long swords will cause damage.

However, what Anna Su didn't know was that in Poplar Town back then, chain mail was the most popular standard equipment, because it didn't take too much skill to make zuò, and ordinary farmers could start making zuò after training for half a day.

Bows are a great weapon for use on the battlefield, they have a decent rate of fire, range, enough power, and most importantly, the bow is far more flexible than the crossbow - it's just that this weapon seems to have begun to be eliminated in this world.

Although there was no shortage of capable archers among the adventurers, there were not many lords in the army who could organize large archery units - there were too many ways to deal with long-range weapons. The easiest thing to do is to put on a piece of armor. There is no need for heavy armor at all, and a random piece of chain mail can render most long-range weapons useless. The second most important nemesis after armor is the shield. Whether it's a wooden, rattan or metal shield, you can make long-range weapons unpowered. None of this requires any special skills.

As for the magic that can restrain long-range weapons, there are even more innumerable, defensive barriers, shielding force fields, and illusions can make long-range weapons meaningless, and one of the simple ways is to directly blow a strong wind. A two-ring spell is enough to render the bow ineffective.

Therefore, the long-range attack of Tumenis is more focused on mages, a formal mage can launch four fireball attacks, and the damage caused by the flames that explode in the opponent's formation is not necessarily smaller than the damage caused by a round of arrow rain of hundreds of people, and the bow is not very easy to make, wood and steel glue are used, and arrows are the same, and even more needs to be invested, so the usual bow and arrow phalanx can only support twenty arrows per soldier, don't underestimate this number, a thousand archers are configured with 20,000 arrows, just to carry these things already requires more manpower and material resources。

After all, it is far easier to train an archer than to train a magician, and for a magician to show his power, he must at least get out of the apprentice class and come into contact with the spells around the third ring, but the archer is different, as long as they are organized into a queue, the power will not be small, especially when dealing with those poorly equipped peasant soldiers, it is an extremely effective lethal weapon, and it is very easy to cause deadly chaos.

......

"Good job, little one. ”

Edward raised an eyebrow.

The voice echoed all around him, but the ethereal place meant that it was

The key, of course, is that the voice

Ribbons of light poked their heads out of the vortex erupting from the crack, and it immediately began to curl. Then split into strips of lightning and drilled into the vortex.
