Chapter 305 Cheh

Four days had already passed since the witches, and the First Ar to the plan, they should arrive at the outskirts of Silver City by tomorrow afternoon

Equipped with Honey's flying ers, Roland received letters sent by the teahtingale Even though they weren't as fast as raphing In case there were several winged ers on the sao to and froht have the sa

In the absence of Nightingale, the Chief Knight took over the responsibility of defending the castle However, Roland couldn't understand why Carter alore a happy expression these days; it see these past few days Could it be, that returning to his for that's worth being so happy about?

He shook his head and focused his attention back on the report from his Minister of Construction, Karl van Bate

With the help of the witches fro Island, Border Town's construction projects were progressing at an aly rapid pace these past few months

First, there was the steel bridge across the Redwater River which had been successfully coes and wooden bridges, the structure of the steel bridge had been made in advance, only afterwards had it been hoisted into place The two floating islands Lotus had raised within the river course had further simplified the former difficult task and also shortened the ti one month's time

Although, when one looked at it with eyes of a person in the future, the bridge did indeed seem short and narrow, and the architecture si it into a project which was purely a waste of nificent super bridge Its total length carrying on for e's surface was ses to move side by side Furthermore, even its lowest part still h, soe could never accomplish

Secondly, Lotus had also completed the construction of the new city wall Those walls, made purely out of earth, had increased the town's area by more than two tiinal toould be considered the veritable “inner city”; Roland however, wassystem Perhaps soiant city which even had seven rings, and could then be formally crowned as the imperial capital

Lastly, regarding the construction of the Kingdom Avenue, Lotus had already leveled out soe's extensions, so now the road could go straight through instead of going around which had thus significantly reduced the overall length of the journey

“Your Highness, what do you want Lotus to construct next?” Karl asked after he reported on the progress

Roland was able to tell that he was bri with admiration for her ability to transform the terrain, because, not only had he proposed that she be integrated into the Ministry of Construction, he'd even put forth a request to appoint her as the vice minister

“Well…” Roland was also already thinking about this question There were three major construction projects he wanted to implement next

The first was the sea port project: Looking for s in a path to the beach was a task he would have to rely on Lotus to achieve Once they coain access to a seaward harbor

The second project was the residential expansion: Although City Hall had invested a lot of the workforce and financial resources to step up the construction of residential quarters, inter soon to approach, by now there were nearly three thousand people ould be unable to live in a war wooden sheds and simple shelters simply couldn't roup of cave roos if they wanted to solve this problem

The third point was to set up a dock: If he wanted to produce shalloater gunboats, he first had to arrange for a large dock, which at the sae of the Redwater River Roland intended to reduce the height of the riverbank on the western side of Border Town, to forate at the side of the Redwater River so that they can control the water intake and runoff The scale of the necessary earthas immense, and he would also have to rely on Lotus' ability to complete it

After considering for a moment, he finally decided to place the residential expansion as the first priority Since they had invited the refugees fro to have to take responsibility and provide them with the basic necessities of life If they were to freeze or starved to death, then, not only would it be a loss for the Western Territory, but it would also reduce the people's attachment toward this place

“So where is the place we should build the temporary residences?” Karl asked
