Chapter 94 Destruction doesn’t need a reason

The artillery production was also advancing steadily , the second round of production for the cannons had already entered the drilling phase, while the third round was still at the material collection phase

If he is lucky, Roland could have a gorgeous lineup of four 12-pounders after a month There was no doubt of his superiority in terms of firepower But the question noas how could he turn this advantage into a winning situation, and Roland was still striving for an answer to this

Before he’d crossed over he was just working as a , and just like forof war had only coames If it was just a battle with cold weapons, he could have handed over the command to Carter and Iron Axe But this battle wasn’t the saht, there was no one ould be able to understand these new hot weapons better than himself

That being the case, he could only gather the knowledge they had and build his own plans on that foundation in additional to his knowledge from a later era

In order to ensure his victory, Roland let Lightning travel every day between Border Town and Longsong Stronghold On one hand to observe the road’s conditions, and on the other hand because he needed to accurately calculate the distance Roland believed that the victory in as built on a foundation of previous gathered information and calculations Whether it was a tactical develop victory in a battle was inseparably linked to these two points

Roland onceiron pipes and the one hundredrange of his cannons Then he went to the artillery testing area west of Border Town and measured with the fly this distance so that she would always do it in the same amount of time

When she had skillfully rean to hold and Border town Using a sundial to measure the time that was needed for a round-trip, he had calculated the distance between the two places was around fifty-five kilometers

Of course, this was the linear distance between two points In fact, if traveling by land, you would need to take two big bends in order to avoid crossing over the foothill of the Ie So in the case that the Duke choose to attack by land, he would need at least three days to reach Border Town

With Lightning as a Scout, Roland would be able to have always have a clear idea where the enemy was and what he had to do

Within the range of two kilonal flags to signal the distance, so if the enemy entered this area his artillery could quickly adjust thea test shot

Now he began to worry what to do if the other party didn’t start an attack

At thissound came from the door

Nightingale, who had been lying all the ti this, Roland coughed twice, and said, “Come in”

The door opened and his assistant hness, a hold want to see you”

“Who?” asked Roland only to directly ask once again, “Did they send that aain?”

“No, not the ambassador,” Barov shook his head, “It is one of the nobles who left before the beginning of the Months of Demons, Baron Cornelius, who’s came back now”

Roland had to think a moment until he re in Border Town that had escaped to the stronghold But now they dare to co starts Doesn’t they respect the royal law? “Why does he want to see me?”

“During the construction of the wall, his house was demolished,” said the assistant to the treasurer “If you don’t want to receive him, I could send him out”

Roland wanted to take hied his mind, “Let the Baron wait for me in the parlor”

Maybe through hihold, at least this was so he would like to happen

After dawdling for around half an hour, Roland leisurely entered the parlor After arriving he saw abeside the long table While the man restlessly walked up and down, the additional layers ofthat His Highness had finally appeared, the Baron stopped his walking and reluctantly went through the royal greeting ceremony

“Sit down,” Roland went to the table and placed hi to his usual habits, even if it wasn’t time for dinner, he would let his kitchen at least prepare a dessert, but today he did not even let them prepare tea
