Chapter 279 Battle line up
After entering the hall, Iron Axe gave a standard military salute
“Timothy's troops are expected to reach the junction in the Redwater River four days from now The First Army will set off this afternoon,” Roland bluntly spoke “You will meet up at the battle site with Border Town's defensive troops and take over the command; I will travel there as quickly as possible”
“Don't we need to defend Border Town?”
“All of the enegie Setting up a defensive division is no longer necessary, just one joint attack to the right side should be enough to smash the enemy” The Prince paused, “But we also need to leave one hundred soldiers in Longsong Stronghold to watch over those nobles”
“Remain… here?” Iron Axe asked shocked
Roland summarized his previous released orders to the five faether was to make it more convenient to watch over the about Timothy's attack on the Western Territory The Second Ar, so in case they encounter an unexpected situation they may not respond to it However, with the ten squadrons of First Army’s soldiers, we can ensure that the nobles cannot lift any wind and waves Since I do not want to fight at the Redwater River junction, only to birth riots at my back”
“As you bid, Your Highness,” he said
“Do you have to go?” After Iron Axe had left the hall, Nightingale stepped out from behind the lord's seat and asked him
“Of course,” Roland said, “If I do not go, who else could ood use out of Lotus' ability? I y, but I’ bunkers to seal off roads and tanks to slap faces”
“Bunker I know of; however, what is this tank?” Nightingale's face showed her confusion
“Oh… they are carriages which drag around a cannon,” the Prince coughed twice “But currently we do not have enough horses, so we have to rely on Little Town to transport the cannons, which like this cannot be called tanks
“That's the reason why you picked Honey?” She blinked and asked, “As far as I know, she can even taentle as horses But aren't ”tanks” nothing more than cannons which are pulled by wild animals?”
“Of course,” Roland couldn't refrain frohtforwardly be naer and Panther”
Just then, Carter, holding a white-tailed kite in his arhness, there is news from Border Town”
Roland clapped his hands, ience, the white-tailed kite unfolded its wings, freed itself fro the short distance to fir the kite land on his shoulder, he took a piece of jerky froave it to the bird to s It also conscientiously raised its claw, so that Roland could easily untie the cloth tied to it
The kite wasn't Maggie in her hawk forers They could remeht routes, even in case that they were brought to an unknown place, they could still find their way hohold, Roland had brought a total of four ers Within one hour they could travel from one place to the other and back Further to take a break In the absence of a wireless trans in touch counted as the quickest method
Roland spread out the letter wrapped into the cloth and quickly skimmed over its content
The author of the letter was Wendy, she was reporting that according to his request she had already carried Lotus, Sylvie, Leaves, Hubird, and Nana to the fork of the Redwater River Soether with theht cannons with them, which was the maximum number of cannons that Little Town could accommodate
