The First Army has completed the follow-up supply work and will set off again soon.

This is also the second half of the Spring Offensive mission to capture Liuye Town and Zhulongling.The former will bring the entire Western border into one, while the latter will be the most convenient way to the southern border.

Considering that neither town is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Roland handed over all command to Iron Axe and no longer went with the team.

Since the royal capital had just been captured, the army was extremely morale, and professional soldiers had gradually emerged as the prototype of modern army. They could faithfully execute combat orders without the lord leading the team himself, so Roland had nothing to worry about the outcome of the battle.

As long as the reconnaissance work is done well and the artillery troops are steadily advancing, the enemy will not be able to make any waves.

The reconstruction of post-war order was the focus of his attention.

Fortunately, Liuye Town is not large in scale, so there is no need to set up a fully functional lower-level city hall like Changge District, and just arrange the corresponding department offices.

Now the border area has been able to provide a group of basic managers, and it should not be difficult to incorporate Liuye Town into the political system without winter city.

As for the Dragon Ridge, it will be handed over to Count Spel to manage it on his behalf. After Tifeko fell, she has sworn to be loyal to Roland and agreed to fully accept the management model of the Western Frontier.

In order to assist her in taking over the whole city and clearing the rebellious nobles, it was necessary to send the First Army to garrison.

What's more, whether it is to further annex the southern border or to capture Tiesha City in the future, the Zhuilongling will be a key transportation route, so another purpose of the garrison is to prevent accidents.

In any case, the city must be controlled by Roland before it can be assured.

As a result, the number of the First Army was tight. After making the plan, Iron Axe frowned and said, "The King Capital currently has 500 people, and Liuye Town and Zhulongling will occupy 1,000 people. The troops we can mobilize freely are less than 1,500. Most of them are artillery soldiers. Wu Dongcheng may temporarily lose the ability to take the initiative."

How are the training of the new recruits who have expanded their enrollment in Xieyueshi?

He was still far from the level of a regular army. He shook his head and said, "It will take at least two or three months to train."

Roland laughed silently, thinking that when he formed a militia to resist evil beasts, he had only been training for a month and a half before he stepped onto the city wall. Now the military construction is becoming increasingly comprehensive, and even the standards for compliance have increased a lot.

In fact, being able to listen to the instructions clearly and move forward in line and pull the trigger at the target. In this era, even a strong army is still necessary to move forward in line with the opponent's firepower, and this is just aiming at the enemy's target.

Don't worry, the garrison troops can be replaced by these new recruits, and letting them fight with the nobles' guards is also a kind of exercise.Roland said easily that when the emissary group that recruits refugees returns, Wu Winter City will usher in a new population peak, and the army can continue to expand at that time.

The capture of the king capital is far from the end, and the capture of the Dragon Ridge is just the beginning. If everything goes well, he hopes that the entire extreme southern territory can be included in the territory this year before the evil moon arrives.

If he could obtain a stable supply of black water resources, he might be able to push the industrial level of Wu Winter City to a new level.

Shortly after the iron axe retreated, the nightingale appeared silently in front of Roland.

Yifei wants to see you.

……

Looking at the Blood-Tooth Witch who slowly walked into the office, Roland felt some changes.

Her pace was no longer as steady as she was when she first arrived, and her long black hair looked a little messy, obviously she didn't have time to take care of it.

The vigilance and proud expression on his face faded a little, replaced by a sense of chaos and confusion.

At this time, she is more like a girl who should have a look at this age.

Yifei bowed and saluted for a long time before speaking, Your Majesty, what weapon is Maisie using?

Roland had long guessed that she would ask, nodded to Nightingale, who pulled out the revolver at her waist and placed it on the table.

She used a gun and used gunpowder to push the projectiles to kill the enemy. He skillfully removed the bullet nest and poured out the bullets. The projectiles that deal with you have been specially modified and will not penetrate the body, otherwise you would have been dead at that time.

Yifei's lips squirmed, as if she wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

Roland picked up a bullet and held it in front of him. Did you see this thing?It is no larger than a little finger, but it requires a very complicated set of steps to produce it. In this process, hundreds of ordinary townsmen and three witches need to participate. None of them can do without them.And those witches are non-combat witches you think are useless. Do you still think so now?

I... She looked hesitant and didn't answer for a long time.

Roland didn't give the other party too much time to think, and then said, maybe they can't directly use their abilities to fight you, but what does this mean?It is also difficult for an ordinary person to knock down a ferocious beast with both fists and feet, but it is still humans who ultimately occupy the world, not those beasts.

I prefer to call non-combat witches auxiliary witches. They can give new power to most ordinary people through their own abilities, just like guards fighting with long swords and strong shields, with the help of these, humans can easily defeat wild beasts.In a sense, auxiliary witches are greater than combat witches.

But these weapons of yours... can play a stronger role in the hands of combat witches, Ife whispered.

This gap is not obvious, at least it cannot influence the outcome of a war. Roland shook his head. Can you imagine how many points are there when you face ten ordinary warriors who use the same weapons as you?My territory can produce seven or eight guns every day, and how many combat witches are there?Moreover, weapons alone are not working. To maintain the operation of these weapons, you must be equipped with a huge production logistics team, and the role of auxiliary witches is irreplaceable.

He reassembled the gun and returned it to the Nightingale. I know you can't understand this fact for a moment. The reason why humans are greater than wild beasts is that they can use their wisdom to create power that this world has never had before.Magic is undoubtedly the best tool, and you are wasting this talent.He paused for a moment. By the way, the First Army Reserve will conduct live rifle training in the afternoon. I can arrange for you to visit. At that time, you can use your own eyes to observe what is the real power.

Times have changed, Yifei.
