Release that Witch - Chapter 451

[Chapter 444 Feedback]

However, before the steward left the territory of the Silt family, Roland had already received a letter from the second army of the fortress.

Half an hour later, Pei Luo’s request for help also arrived at the town’s castle.

Due to the limited information carried by the flying courier, he connected the contents of the two notes together to confirm a surprising news.

The four masters of the Western Region turned against each other!

Who gave them the confidence to dare to rebel under their noses?

Roland immediately summoned Carter and Iron Axe, and slapped the note in front of them.

“Your Highness, this is…”

“News from the fortress,” he said rather annoyed.

The winter is coming to an end, and the Chinese New Year will be three days later. Not to mention the various matters concerning the construction of the city, the three-way equipment in the town also needs his guidance. At this time, they are causing trouble for themselves. These nobles really don’t know how to write dead words what!

According to the secret letter report, first the nobles in the city led a group of retinues to raid the guarding soldiers, and when the team members patrolling the city wall discovered something was wrong, the lifting mechanism of the drawbridge at the north city gate had already fallen into the control of the nobles.

They had no choice but to ignite the beacon fire, relying on the city wall to hold on to the spot.

The other members of the Second Army who had observed the beacon signal followed the emergency response regulations and divided the ten groups of about 50 people who stayed in the camp into two teams. One team headed for the north gate, and the other team rushed to the fortress castle.

Pelor’s secret letter was sent after the second team exchanged fire with the enemy in the castle area. It was only then that they realized that the enemy they encountered was a local nobleman.

“Pelor Hermon mentioned that the attackers who besieged the castle held the flags of the four major families. They must have premeditated this rebellion,” Carter said with a frown after reading the note. The sand huddled together, and the nobles should have a new backbone.”

Indeed, the four major families…or in other words, the five under the Duke of Ryan are all equal nobles, allowing them to let go of their prejudices and cooperate with each other. In all likelihood, there are greater forces that have stirred up this troubled water Otherwise, relying on the efforts of several earls who refuse to accept each other, there may not be any results after more than ten years of fighting.

And at this time, there are only one or two possibilities left for those who are still willing to intervene in the western region.

“You mean… Timothy of the royal capital?” Iron Ax looked at the chief knight. As a sandman of the Mojin tribe, he was far less sensitive to the political situation in Graycastle than Carter.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the Church,” Roland pouted. “From what they did in Falling Dragon Ridge, we can see that it’s only a matter of time before they attack the Western Territory.”

“The problem is… the second letter mentioned that firearms appeared in the enemy’s ranks,” Carter frowned. “They already know the formula of gunpowder?”

“Snow powder is no secret to the church and Timothy, but there is still a long way to go before it can be used flexibly,” the prince tapped on the table lightly, “I’m just surprised that even if they have the power behind But far water cannot save near fire, and Border Town is the closest to the fortress, where did they have the confidence to fight against the soldiers of the First Army?”

“Probably because of the Demon Moon,” Iron Ax replied after thinking for a while, “Although you used thunder to defeat the Duke’s Knights last time, you didn’t show outstanding siege ability. Now the road is closed by heavy snow , plus there are evil beasts on the border, for them, it is the best guarantee for the success of the rebellion, and you will have at least two months before you have the strength to attack the Longsong Fortress.”

“Then blocked by the towering city walls?”

“That’s right,” Iron Ax couldn’t help grinning, “They also have the weapons you have, plus the unattainable city walls, and even the reinforcements from the forces behind them, they might not be able to defeat you at the foot of the city walls. I think they are like that. thought.”

“But they don’t know anything about the power of Border Town,” Roland stood up, “Iron Axe!”

“Please order, Your Highness!” He immediately stood at attention.

“The First Army is now in a state of preparation for the expedition, and will set off early tomorrow morning,” the prince said loudly. “The number of people is five hundred, and they carry six field guns. The specific team for the expedition will be arranged by you.”

“Yes!” Iron Ax made a standard military salute.

Now the size of the first army in the small town has more than four times the size of the original 500 militias. The whole army has more than 2,200 people.

Moreover, thanks to the improvement in the cultural level of soldiers, the efficiency of the execution of orders by the First Army has also been greatly improved. As long as the preparation order is issued, there will be special personnel in the army to allocate ammunition and rations according to the number of combatants and the number of days. It took almost one day to complete the work, compared to half a month for the knights and mercenary regiments to prepare for the expedition. This is already an incredible speed.

And they will set off on eleven paddle steamers in the small town, and UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com will reach the fortress city. After entering mass production, a ship with reinforced concrete as the foundation will be launched every five days. This is still deliberately slowing down the construction speed. In this case, the only thing that limits its number is the crew and the steam engine.

“Carter!”

“Please tell me, Your Highness,” the chief knight said with his head raised.

“You stay in Border Town.”

The corner of the knight’s mouth dropped instantly, “What… what? No, Your Highness, how could you leave me here again!”

“Now is the month of demons, and the threat of demonic beasts is greater than those nobles,” Roland said unmoved, “keep watch over my town.”

After the two retreated, he sighed, “This time, the witch also needs to accompany me.”

“I will follow you wherever you go,” Nightingale said with a smile.

Considering that the opponent might be the church, only witches can effectively deal with the sneak attack of the pure before all members of the First Army are equipped with God’s Stone of Retaliation.

Roland finally decided on Wendy, Lightning, Maisie, Sylvie, Nana, and Nightingale on the list. If the three battle witches from Sleeping Island were added, it would be difficult for the Pure to threaten him.

Roland walked to the window and looked out at the white-capped mountains and snowfields.

If the Impassable Mountain Range is regarded as a fortress wall, then the wild land north of the Mountain Range is equivalent to the territory of the four major families, and it is also a place where one’s own power cannot radiate.

Elk, wild rose, maple leaf, running wolf… They have been operating in their respective territories for a hundred years and have formed their own laws and customs. Even the overlords of the Western Region, the Ryan family, rarely interfere.

He originally planned to gradually divide and absorb these noble territories after building the city, but this rebellion gave him an opportunity to annex the vast land and population on the outskirts of the fort in one go.

He did not intend to let this group of nobles go.
