Because Wade has been guillotined on charges of embezzling military supplies, the first line of defense at Lington Pass is now under human command, so both Massa and Rosberg are temporarily staying in command.【】
The outside world has criticized these two men for commanding soldiers, because neither Massa nor Rosberg are from the military. Their doing so is tantamount to taking away the power of the military. But now undead creatures are raging on the Lunde Peninsula, and the defense
When the captain exposed the scandal of embezzlement of war supplies, no one dared to stand up and oppose the two nobles' decision in person.
Although Roger didn't know much about the situation in the kingdom, he figured out that the matter was related to the factional struggle for power. He was not interested in these matters, so he quickly left Linton Pass and headed for the capital alone with his men.
After entering the hinterland of the kingdom, Roger found that it was much more prosperous than the Lunde Peninsula. Large areas of farmland and pastures were often seen on both sides of the road. Farmers worked hard in the fields, and cattle, horses and goats strolled leisurely on the pastures. Except for
Frequently encountering troops marching towards the Lunde Pass on the road reminds people of the undead creatures raging on the Rund Peninsula. The tranquility here is completely incompatible with the tense atmosphere of the Rund Peninsula.
The Privy Council's order only required Roger to go to the capital to meet the king, and there was no specified time limit, so he was not in a hurry. Roger and others had to wait until dawn every day before getting up and going on the road, and at night they rested in hotels in the towns.
The days passed in a leisurely and leisurely way.
That night Roger was resting in the hotel as usual. As soon as he lay down on the bed, Castle Hub loudly shouted in his mind: "Don't sleep! The super shooting range has been built. Come to the sub-space!"
After obtaining the Harpy's magic crystal, Roger began to ask the Castle Hub to build a super shooting range. After many days of waiting, the super shooting range was finally built.
Roger was also very excited after hearing the news. He quickly said "open the castle hub" silently in his mind and entered the secondary space of the castle in an instant.
After returning to the secondary space for so many days, the city wall that was originally destroyed by the Death Lord has long been repaired. The stones used to repair the damaged areas are exactly the same as those in other parts. If Roger hadn't seen the city wall being destroyed with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.
This city wall has been repaired.
But for Roger, the city wall is not the focus, the focus is the newly built super shooting range. After the castle is upgraded to level three, there are many buildings that will require some precious materials when upgrading, and the super shooting range is one of them. If not for an accident
After getting a Harpy's magic crystal in Wade's cellar, he really didn't know when he would be able to upgrade this building. At this time, the high-level shooting range was finally built, so of course he took a good look at it.
Different from the very simple primary shooting range, the advanced shooting range is much more complete in appearance and facilities. Two statues holding longbows stand in front of the shooting range, clearly telling people the purpose of this place. Behind the tall and majestic gatehouse
, is a huge yard. The yard is narrow and long, no more than ten meters wide but nearly a hundred meters long. At one end of the yard are many arrow targets of different sizes and positions, some of which can move on their own. Now there are
A place used to train archers.
Roger now has advanced Black Iron strength, and his senses are much more sensitive than before. However, even with his eyesight, he can barely reach those targets, let alone shoot them. From this point alone, we know
The archers that can be trained at a high-level shooting range are much better than those at a primary shooting range.
In fact, the level shooting range can train two new types of archers, longbowmen and light crossbowmen. The light crossbowmen all have the strength of the black iron primary level, while the longbowmen are even stronger than the black iron level. Each of these two arms has its own advantages.
Inferior, light crossbowmen train faster, and
The arrows fired are also slightly stronger. Although longbowmen require longer training time, their firing speed in battle is much faster than that of light crossbowmen. How to determine the proportion of these two arms in long-range troops?
How did Roger decide?
Roger thought for a while and felt that his soldiers had suffered serious losses. The most urgent thing now was to restore the size of the army as soon as possible. So he first asked the Castle Commander to train ten light crossbowmen, and also retrained the few surviving short archers.
Just train and upgrade to become an archer.
Before this, Roger had retrained the surviving spear militiamen and short sword soldiers. Now he had more than twenty iron spearmen and the same number of long sword warriors. If he added more than ten people
Long-range troops are already a force that cannot be underestimated.
Of course, Roger will never be satisfied with this. He will continue to train soldiers in the coming days. As long as he has enough soul power, the work of training soldiers will not stop. Anyway, the trained soldiers can
If they stay in the secondary space of the castle for the time being and summon them to the main material world when necessary, they won't be afraid of attracting others' attention.
Roger finished arranging the training plan for the soldiers and checked how many resources he still had. There was still a lot of soul power, but there were not many ordinary materials such as wood and stone left. In addition, there were nearly a thousand
A gold coin and a small bag of gems, and the last item is the hippogryph egg.
Although the third-level castle can already build a primary animal training ground to breed monsters to serve Roger. But to build a primary animal training ground, a magic crystal of plant-type monsters must be used. For Roger, there are other things at the moment.
All the materials are available, but there is only one magic crystal missing. Naturally, the construction of the primary animal training ground can only be discussed later.
After spending a lot of time in the secondary space of the castle, Roger quickly fell asleep after returning to the main material world. When he woke up again, it was already bright.
Roger and others headed toward the capital along the main road, but they found that they could no longer move forward before going far. A bridge on the road was destroyed by a sudden flood, and pedestrians on both sides of the river were blocked. According to other pedestrians, the locals
The lords have known about this and are planning to summon craftsmen to rebuild the bridge. However, building a bridge is not an easy task. Even building the simplest wooden bridge will take at least two months. Before that, all pedestrians only
Can wait patiently.
Although Roger was not in a hurry, it didn't mean that he was willing to spend time chatting and waiting. So Roger quickly split up with others to ask the locals if there was any other way for everyone to cross the river and move on.
Chris and Phil were both dressed as knights, and the civilians naturally answered all their questions. Phil quickly came to report to Roger: "Sir, more than twenty miles downstream from here, there is a shoal.
You can cross the river, but..."
"Just what?"
The knight answered honestly: "There is just a small town on the other side of the river. It is said that the people there are not very welcoming of strangers."
"I don't care if they like it or not, we're just passing by, let's go!" Roger, who didn't want to waste time waiting, didn't take Phil's words to heart, but he didn't expect that this decision would bring him trouble.
