Release that Witch - Chapter 615

[Chapter 606 Father and Daughter]

When Duke Calvin walked into the Jade Forest Castle, Edith was already waiting for him in the hall.

“My dear daughter—”

“Why did you come here?” She interrupted mercilessly, “As early as a month ago, I wrote to you to fully cooperate with the First Army’s assembly and preparation work , their requirements must be met as much as possible.” The

Duke’s open arms stopped in mid-air, “I notified Earl Haier in Yougu Town at that time, and even sent a housekeeper to supervise the matter. Doesn’t this count as full cooperation?”

“Of course “,” Edith clasped her hands on her chest in dissatisfaction, “Your visit to the town in person will show the sincerity of the northern border, and the battle with the Church is of great importance, so it cannot be overestimated.”

“But this is Earl Hale after all .

The territory of the vassals——”

“Please, father, the nobles are gone, are you still thinking about the territories of the vassals? I thought you would be a little more decisive after the incident with Hoss and the Lista family.”

Calvin The Duke felt a little uneasy on his face, “I thought that after a few months, my daughter would at least give me a hug and express her miss, instead of talking about business before sitting down.”

“Really,” Yi said .

Di Si smiled and said, “I don’t know who is furious in the study, shouting that this bastard daughter is a wolf cub who eats all the outside and is not well-raised? If my guess is right, you still wanted to smash something at that time, but you couldn’t bear it.” .” The

duke couldn’t help but choke, “I…”

Hell, which bastard leaked this!

Before he could figure out how to respond, Edith had already walked over and hugged him in her arms, “Welcome to Glen Town, father. Is that all right?”

The anger in his heart disappeared immediately, and he touched his daughter Qing With long hair, I had mixed feelings at the moment.

Although she was born by the first wife, her personality is quite different from her biological mother’s, and she is even completely different from herself. Sometimes even he doesn’t understand how Edith grew into what she is today.

Appearance, intelligence, and talent are all lacking. If it wasn’t for the young lady’s appearance on her face, he would almost doubt whether Edith was his own daughter.

However, when the two hugged each other, the Duke felt the sense of intimacy that was connected by blood again—she was still the pearl of the North that he raised with his own hands.

After a while, Edith pushed him away in disgust, “It smells like sweat, you’d better take a shower first. I brought a few bars of soap from Neverwinter, take one to try, the cleansing effect It’s much better than the saponins.”

“This kind of thing can be delayed for a while,” Calvin looked around, “By the way, where is Earl Haile? Why didn’t he greet me in the hall?”

“I drove him back to the suburbs I

went to the Earl’s Palace.”

“What?” The Duke looked at his daughter in surprise.

“He didn’t take His Majesty’s will seriously, and he didn’t take your order seriously. If I hadn’t arrived in time, he might have angered the vanguard.” Edith shrugged, “Not everyone can see Know the path under your feet, and some don’t even have the courage to open your eyes. I won’t say a word about this kind of person, driving away is the most convenient choice.”

“Will he obediently give up the castle and the town? ”

He won’t, but I have the first army in my hand,” she smiled. “This army conquered the capital in one day. What do you think a dozen knights can do?”

I don’t know .

Is it an illusion? In just over two months, Edith has become a little different from before. Her smile is more natural, rather than the aristocratic smile deliberately pretended in social situations.

And there was a more relaxed look in her eyes, Calvin thought, this look had disappeared for a long time after she became an adult.

She liked life now, he realized, at least more than she had in the Northland.

This made him a little jealous, but also quite emotional.

Probably just like what my daughter said, after stripping off her nobility status, she would indeed lose some of her rights, but it also released the shackles fixed on the fiefdom.

Now she is heading for a wider field.

When he came to the castle study, Calvin drank two large cups of black tea in one gulp, and asked after a long breath, “What we have to do now is to wait for His Majesty to come?”

“There are still a lot of things to do,” Edith spread out the notepad, “food, horses, cloth, herbs, and supplies needed for the war must be transported to Glen Town. By the way, I received a new secret message from His Majesty earlier. I

believe that iron and copper ingots will also be brought over, the more the better.”

“He wants to evacuate the entire northern border,” the Duke said inwardly, “Do you really think His Majesty Roland can defeat the Church?”

“He may not be able to break into the holy city of Hermes and completely eradicate the church, but it is not too difficult to prevent the church from entering the kingdom below Cold Wind Ridge.” She paused, “What your majesty lacks most is time.”

“Time .”

”

You haven’t seen his factory, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com, so it’s hard to understand how powerful Neverwinter is.” Edith looked at her father, “Whether it’s knights, mercenaries, judges or fanatical believers, There is no difference between them in front of bullets. However, these amazingly powerful bullets are continuously produced in the factory like running water. Any civilian can use firearms and bullets to kill the enemy after only half an hour of teaching. One month, you can get a soldier who can go to battle to kill the enemy, and three months later, they are the invincible first army.”

“What… what do you want to say?”

“The growth rate of people is far faster than bullets , Father. It is different from swords and armor. A blacksmith and a dozen or so apprentices can make ten sets of armor and thirty swords a year, but a factory can produce more than a thousand bullets a day—the sword is armed After the knights are ground into powder, hundreds of bullets can be distributed to those who want to become knights; the next day, these bullets can be given to city residents and newborns; a month later, the bullets produced Enough to turn this city into an empty dead city.”

Calvin opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

“It’s normal if you don’t believe it. After all, these things sound a bit subversive, but I participated in the tooth extraction operation with the First Army and saw with my own eyes how they dealt with the enemy.” Edith said slowly, “So the First Army As long as the army holds the line of defense, His Majesty will be able to achieve the victory he wants sooner or later—after three months, Neverwinter City will be able to train an army of thousands of people and the corresponding weapons, and this time is not new enough. The Judgment Army is learning how to hold a sword.”

“…” The duke was dumbfounded for a while before spreading his hands, “Well, let’s pretend that you are right. Since you are so optimistic about His Majesty Roland, why didn’t you reply to my letter? I mean… the marriage with His Majesty .”
