Chapter 140 Front Defense

"Ronan, have I caused you trouble again?"

Alice was originally very excited after meeting Nina. She didn't expect that the fairy lady she fantasized about would actually become a reality and actually appear before her eyes.

But as she learned that the Elf Kingdom was being invaded by evil gods, her expression became worried.

And when she finally knew that she might bring an elf threat to Ronan, she lowered her head and suddenly felt like crying.

She obviously always wanted to help Ronan, but in the end she caused him big trouble from the elves.

Alice knew that her identity could not be known by the kingdom and the church, which meant that Ronan could not ask the kingdom's senior officials to provide help.

"I" Alice wanted to say something else, but Ronan came up first, lifted her up high, and held her in his arms.

"How could it be? You've been a big help."

Ronan spoke happily, lowered his head and gently rubbed Alice's head with his cheek, feeling the fragrance emanating from her hair.

"I was worried that I had no place to trouble those heretics. Now it's better, they will come to my door."

"But, Nina said they are so powerful that even the Elf Kingdom might come to them."

As Alice spoke, she suddenly began to hate the flowers and plants she had carefully planted in the garden, and wanted to destroy them in the past.

But she couldn't break away from Ronan's arms, so she had to hit his chest with her little head.

"Believe me, nothing will happen." Ronan didn't let go of her, and stretched out his hand to pinch her tender face, letting her slowly relax.

"Let's move these flowers and plants to the garden outside the castle together."

After Alice gradually calmed down, Ronan let go of his arm, smiled and stepped forward to pick up a pot of blooming golden daffodils.

"The natural realm is your own ability. What you have to do is to master it, not escape. After you can control it skillfully, it won't be too late for us to move them back."

"As for those things that are trying to cause trouble, I will solve them for you."

Alice stood there and stared at him blankly, wiped the tears from her eyes, ran over and hugged him from behind.

"You don't expect me to carry these potted plants out on my back, do you, Miss Alice?"

"Let me hug you for a while. Ronan has always hugged me, and I want to hug you back." She hummed and rested her face on her back with peace of mind.

Together with Alice, he temporarily placed the flowers and plants in the open space of the garden. After Ronan rested with her for a while, he went to the North Outer District of the town alone.

Then he called Leo, the leader of the craftsmen here.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Leo walked into the office and took off his protective clothing and came to Ronan.

"How is the current special armor production line established?"

Leo replied: "With the hammer forging assisted by steam engines, work that used to take dozens of days can now be completed in just one day. The production speed of special armor, especially heavy artillery, has been greatly accelerated."

"It now only takes fifteen days for each production line to manufacture a heavy-armed artillery piece, eight days for aerial assault, and five days for mobile reconnaissance."

"Three related production lines have been laid. Up to now, the special armor has produced a total of ten heavy artillery pieces, twenty air and space assault units, and thirty-five mobile reconnaissance units."

After listening to Leo's report, Ronan nodded with satisfaction.

This is almost the limit that the cold wind collar's industrial production can squeeze, mainly due to the extraordinary ability of the craftsman and the five high-precision cutting machines he manufactured using the alchemy furnace.

Compared with other machine tools that require precise calculations, as long as the dimensions of each armor module are determined, manufacturing a cutting machine is not difficult.

"How about the gunpowder reserves?"

"Discounting armored weapons and order consumption, the warehouse currently reserves a total of fifty-four tons of gunpowder."

In other words, if necessary, you can make hundreds of powerful magic self-propelled missile warheads.

Ronan calculated that the current strategic reserves in the town were enough for him to conduct a small-scale war.

It's a pity that the second-level puppet's magic core control has limited power, so it's impossible to say that it can infinitely increase its power purely by stacking gunpowder.

After letting Leo leave, Ronan called Ed who was in charge of the army command.

"How is the pro-army troops' armor training going?" Ronan asked after Ed came in.

"Don't worry, brother, more than 80% of the people have mastered the heavy artillery and mobile reconnaissance. For the most troublesome air and space assault, I have specially arranged 20 people to train flight control. Now they have learned the ropes and are enough to participate in actual combat!

"

Ed patted his chest confidently.

"Very good, inform all soldiers that the Cold Wind Territory has entered the highest combat readiness state and is ready to fight at any time according to the order."

"As you command!"

Ed's eyes were fierce as he accepted the order, "Who wants to do harm to you, brother? Count Dolan?"

"It's not him. It's not clear yet. It might be a bunch of monsters, or it might just be an ordinary assassin."

Lacking intelligence channels about the Elf Kingdom, Ronan was not sure whether the other party would really send people to cause trouble for Alice, and how they would arrive.

But if you prepare in advance, there will be no problem.

Even if nothing happens, it would be good to treat it as a large-scale military exercise.

As the lord of the Cold Wind Territory, Ronan's orders are the only will of the army here. A large number of soldiers were ordered to assemble and patrol the streets and alleys inside and outside the town.

The foreign businessmen were startled by these well-equipped and strong soldiers. When they heard their vigorous and uniform steps, they even lowered their tone of bargaining with the town residents.

The few guys who had the idea of ​​​​deception and abduction even turned around and ran away on the spot with a guilty conscience.

He was roughly pushed to the ground by the soldiers, and swords were placed on his neck. He was so frightened that he lost control of his lower body.

The local residents are not afraid of the soldiers. Thanks to Ronan's strict military discipline and close contact between the military and civilians, the relationship between the two sides has always been good.

They were just a little worried about whether something big had happened in the town. This was the first time they had seen a large-scale military patrol.

On the other side, armored puppets were assembled into teams under the control of the knights.

Various vegetation and shrubs on the periphery of the Cold Wind Territory are being cleaned.

Wherever the sixty tall armored knights passed, soil flew up and trees were uprooted.

After they finished cleaning up, Ronan from behind sprinkled the seeds and threw them into the turned up soil.

As soon as the seeds enter the soil, they quickly sprout and take root, and the trunk rises from the ground.

They form thorny trees that are more than five meters high and have forked branches that look like spears.

Pieces of thorny woods are distributed around the Cold Wind Territory, firmly protecting the town.

And above them, a flock of crows, as dark as dark clouds, hovered in the sky, making a harsh squawking sound.
