Release that Witch - Chapter 438

[Chapter 431 From Dawn]

In addition to the heavy machine gun with enhanced firepower, Roland also plans to develop a bolt-action rifle as a supplement for medium and long-range precision shooting. It doesn’t need to produce too many, just a hundred or so.

The caliber is the same as that of a heavy machine gun, and it is a simple sniper rifle with a scope.

In this way, the production line of revolver guns and black powder bullets can also continue to be maintained, so as not to cause too much waste.

During the battle, the field artillery is responsible for suppressing the enemy from 1,000 to 800 meters. 800 to 500 meters is the best range for heavy machine guns to harvest. Enemies entering 500 meters are called by snipers. It is a revolver rifle that clears the field, theoretically it can guarantee that there will be no attack interval.

Of course, it may take three to four months to fully realize this set of configurations, and it may not be able to catch up with the spring offensive, so he needs another piece of equipment to make up for the lack of offensive firepower-inland river gunboats equipped with 152mm long-barreled guns.

As long as there is one, it can cause great psychological pressure on the enemy when taking the initiative to attack.

Thinking about the grand city building ceremony to be held after the end of the evil month, the unification of the entire western region, and the removal of Timothy from the throne and the acceptance of the new influx of people, Roland felt that the tasks on his shoulders were getting heavier and heavier. He even hoped that No matter how slowly time passes, Xie Yue should not end so quickly.

*******************

After entering the western boundary, the surrounding scene becomes different.

Otto Losey picked up the wooden board of the window and looked out, only to see that the sky and the ground were all white, and the sky was covered with dense snowflakes, which drifted and rotated along the biting cold wind, and finally merged into this whiteness.

The heavy snow seems to never stop. During the two-day voyage, he has not seen any other scenery. Everything here is covered by snow, whether it is mud, rocks, or woods—if the ship is not shaking all the time, He didn’t even feel like he was moving forward at all.

“Put down the window,” the captain said angrily, “If you really want to see it, you can go to the deck to watch it, no one is stopping you.”

“It’s always like this here?” He closed the wooden boards indifferently.

“Of course, you think I can’t fool you,” the other party took a sip from the flagon, “Every year when the demon moon comes, the western region will be closed by heavy snow, and there is no other way to reach it except Chishui River. And you are willing to risk the damn There will not be more than ten people in the entire capital if they run this route in bad weather and still have a boat in hand,” he hiccupped, “so five gold dragons are a very reasonable price, understand?”

“Expensive It’s expensive, but I didn’t bargain when I paid,” Otto said with a smile.

“This answer is more plausible,” the captain threw the wine jug over, “It’s warm, take a sip, it can keep out the cold.” He wiped his mouth and said, “There have been such businessmen before, and they want to be faster than anyone else.” He rushed to the western border to buy goods, but he couldn’t bear the extra boat fare, so he found a group of rats in the black street to send him off. The result? Halfway along the way, he was wiped on the neck, and the two or three mercenaries he brought were not It didn’t work, and they were all fed to the fish.”

“That’s… really unfortunate.” After taking the flagon, Otto didn’t pull out the cork and pour it into his mouth, but took off his gloves and covered it in his hands— —He is really not used to drinking from the same vessel with others.

“One price, one product. This principle is the same everywhere. There are always people who think they can take advantage of it. He doesn’t even think about it. If the mouse quotes such a low price and can deliver it stably, our shipping company will have to be disbanded.” ?” The captain curled his lips, “Speaking of which, what kind of business do you want to go to the Western Region? Don’t blame me for not reminding you, this ghostly place used to produce some jewelry and furs, but now you can’t buy anything.”

“Oh?” Otto pretended to be curious and asked, “According to what I know, don’t they make a living by this? Could it be that people in the western region have changed their careers to become robbers?”

“That’s old news,” the captain said, holding his pipe to the charcoal brazier Lighted it, and took a deep breath, “Since the fourth prince came into control of Border Town, the western region has become weird. You must know that both fur and jewelry are produced in that town, and no one knows that he is in the territory.” What’s the fuss, the whole business is almost only in and out. There are still jewelry for sale in Longsong Fortress, but the nobles have their own fixed channels, and you can’t get in.”

“Only in and out?” He asked in surprise .

“Yeah, although you can’t buy special products, the business of the merchants who sell the goods is still very good. Whether it is food, clothes, cloth or groceries, they can basically be sold cleanly. I don’t know where the fourth prince came from. So many golden dragons have been looted.” The captain exhaled smoke rings, “So you will probably return empty-handed this trip.”

Otto pretended to be worried about gains and losses, and did not answer any more—in fact, he didn’t care whether he would return home empty-handed.

Returning empty-handed, there is only one real purpose of this trip, and that is to meet the lord of Border Town.

Because of Roland Wimbledon’s status as a traitor to the king, he couldn’t go there as an envoy with great fanfare, so he had to disguise himself as a businessman and rush to the border with light clothes.

Before setting off, he had carefully inquired about the news of the destination.

Just like its name, this is an insignificant border town in a neighboring country. It was originally built to monitor the invasion of evil beasts, and it was later changed to a permanent residence.

It stands to reason that the princes entrusted to this kind of place are those who are not liked by the king and are left to fend for themselves. From the evaluation of the fourth prince, it is very consistent.

But the problem is that he not only gained a firm foothold in the western region, but also posed a great threat to the new king—this is the most difficult thing for Otto to understand. If the fourth prince really has such abilities, how can he stay? After making such unbearable comments, he was kicked to a remote place by the king?

According to the information obtained, the rise of Roland Wimbledon is simply incredible.

A year ago, he was entrusted to Border Town. In fact, it was more like an exile.

There are no ministers accompanying him, no guards of his own, and even the knights around him are sent by the king.

It is difficult for such a thin team to subdue the local nobles, let alone implement their own policies. This enfeoffment has also been discussed as a joke by most people.

However, only six months later, the fourth prince defeated the invasion of the Duke of Lane, sent troops to capture the Longsong Fortress, and became the real ruler of the Western Territory.

There are various theories about this battle among the people. Some say that the Duke died due to an internal rebellion, while others say that he died because his mount stumbled, which caused the Knights to lose to a group of miners.

After that, Roland sat firmly in the position of guardian of the western border. The war caused by the king’s order intensified. The eldest prince Goron and the third princess Garcia died one after another. The whereabouts of the fifth princess Tilly was unknown. It was destroyed in the flames of war, only the western border was safe and sound.

This is definitely not because of Timothy’s kindness, but because the crusade teams sent by the new king many times have disappeared.

Otto was very curious about this. What did Roland do to cultivate such a group of fierce fighters?

“Boss, Border Town is just ahead,” said the sailor, pushing open the cabin door, “We’re almost there.”

“Oh, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com is finally here!” Here we are at the pier! I have to find a tavern to have a few drinks after I go ashore.” He looked at Otto, “Hey, don’t forget to pack your luggage, we’ll see you in two days. If you don’t arrive on time, I am I won’t wait for you.”

Otto shrugged, expressing that he had no objection.

Among the various news about the fourth prince, there was another rumor that he was particularly concerned about. That was that Roland had turned to the devil and was secretly recruiting witches. This was the real reason why he was able to quickly defeat the duke and occupy the entire western region.

The burning of the church in the fortress, the killing of the priest, and the expulsion of believers from the territory are all evidence.

In fact, this rumor was also the reason why he made up his mind to come here.

He didn’t care whether the other party had a deal with the devil, or whether he recruited witches, as long as the other party had enmity with the church.

In this regard, Roland is more interested in Dawn Kingdom than Timothy.

With a sudden tremor in the cabin, the sailboat docked.
