On the afternoon of the 13th, on the south bank of Luoyue Lake in the Benma Plain, at the northernmost camp of the territory named Bei 8 Castle, which was the watchtower of the castle built by Lant for the sea orcs of Luoyue Lake, Lant and the female knight Dandili Ann was looking at the battle in the lake to the north.
Compared with the war in the fjord north of Brejak, the scale of the battle on Luoyue Lake is slightly smaller. The lake water passes through a fjord to the north and is completely frozen by ice. This is the only outlet to the sea until April. It will thaw later, so the current enemies of the sea beasts in the lake are only some mermaids.
However, even so, the courtyard of Bei8 Castle is still filled with containers with life magic patterns. The half-ox man Imola and several rabbit tribe life priests are constantly running around to check their wounds.
"The battle in the water seems to last longer and more cruel than the one on the road." Dandelion said suddenly.
"Wars on land are very bloody, but because of their bloodiness, they can be over in a short time, and there is not that much loss to both sides of the war," Lant concluded. "Wars at sea are just the opposite. A single war is not bloody. But both sides need to continuously invest more weight in order to win, until one side runs out of gas."
"It doesn't sound good." The female knight frowned. She didn't expect Rant to be so pessimistic about the situation of the sea beasts, so she asked: "But with the magic pattern containers and those weapons, the sea beasts shouldn't have an advantage. Isn’t it enough to achieve victory quickly?”
"Facing sea monsters and mermaids, the sea beasts are a standard small country with few people. The weapons only brought them tactical improvements, but did not gain strategic or operational advantages. The current results are already quite good. "Lant shook his head, feeling bitter in his heart.
If we use the situation in our hometown for comparison, the Sea Beast Tribe is a small country that relies on the assistance of foreign races to fight against the neighboring big countries. It seems that the small country can obtain unlimited resources, but its population and strategic depth are far weaker than its opponents. Relying on some improvements in equipment is simply not enough to defeat the big powers.
Even if Lant provided some weapons that were helpful to the sea beasts, it would only increase the duration and bloody degree of the war, and would not change the result that the sea beasts would eventually lose to the sea monsters.
Sometimes Lant himself wonders, if he had been born by the sea and had never been to Red Dragon Rock, would he have joined the Poseidon family to help the mermaids and sea monsters fight against the dragons, or at least not become the enemy of the entire ocean? .
However, now, the situation does not allow him to maneuver. His territory is too far from the seaside and too close to the dragon clan. All he can do is to let the sea beasts wait for changes and hold on for as long as possible.
"Sir?" Dandelion interrupted Lant's thoughts, "So the task you gave me is to let me guard this place?"
"Yes, from the information I have learned, the mermaid's attack on Luoyue Lake will probably last for a long time. They want to completely wear away the power of the sea beasts, and now the sea ice can no longer resist them."
Lant looked north. Luoyue Lake was extremely wide. No matter how good Lant's eyesight was, it would be difficult to see the north shore of the lake.
"Of course, if you can improve the strategic position of the Sea Beast Clan here, both I and Red Dragon Rock will give you enough rewards."
"You really think highly of me!" Dandelion said with a smile.
"To help the Sea Beast Tribe, you don't have to fight in the water. You can also increase their reproduction rate, change their tactics, and disrupt the Mermaid Tribe's magic." After hearing the female knight's words, Lant did not refute; He continued, "In short, around war, there will always be more opportunities for knights. It depends on whether you can seize them."
Dandelion thought for a moment and suddenly caught an idea: "Sir? Can I contact Tierney?"
"Good idea!" Lant nodded, "You can contact him, but Tierney can't come in person. He can only move between Roseburg and Yeqi City now."
"Well, okay," the female knight found the direction and felt a lot more relieved at once, "Sir, some treatment rooms need to be built here, and more magic pattern cabinets are also needed. I can contact the Lanyuan family to place them here. Portal, in addition, I also hope to invite some passionate orcs to come over..."
Dandelion made several requests one after another, all of which were measures that could effectively strengthen the medical resources in the castle or enhance the castle's capabilities.
Seeing the female knight enter the state, Lant was very happy. At least the descendant of the royal family finally used her cleverness in the right direction.
"You can give me a list and I'll try to accommodate it."
Rant encouraged Dandelion with a few words and returned to Yeqi City through the meditation room.
After heading to Roseburg in the morning, Lant made exquisite balls for Guleia's two brothers. Their magical talents were as good as Guleia's, but they were much more experienced. They only needed Guleia a little more. With some advice, the two of them understood the secrets of the dragon's tentacles and were able to perform operations on the huge sea beasts.
With more medical power, several large operating rooms in Roseburg have been completely filled, which has completely freed up Lant. Except for Roseburg, the situation in the New Industrial Zone was similar. Jonny and Sophia returned to the new zone after completing the engraving of magic patterns on a new batch of 16 magic furnaces.
Not only did they come back, but they also came back with a group of dwarves who were studying in the Salt and Iron Division. Several families that had provoked Sophia before also sent over a dozen magicians to apply for magic positions in the new industrial zone. , As a result, new industrial zones with sufficient manpower no longer need rand to help workers.
Even in the northern area of the city, because Liehuo and Neil went to comfort the barbarians who were spending the winter, there was no need for Lant to go there for the time being.
So Rand, who should have been the busiest, is now free and only needs to think about the future official establishment and industrial policies of the Galloping Horse Kingdom with peace of mind.
After getting the news, Lant simply hid in the little red bird's control mystery lock, and while looking at the specific situation of each city in the territory, he wrote a plan for the future.
"Lant, the current problem in our territory is that the population is too small, especially the people who are reliable and capable." As soon as the little cardinal heard that he wanted to know the situation, she began to vomit bitterly.
"Those knights sent by big families are very similar to that Peter Maned Wolf. Once they find that they can take charge of a city, they will more or less seek personal gain for themselves and the family.
As for the children of the small family, they are either like Uffiy who wants to be a knight, or like Gatsby, who is more greedy than the big family, or like Dandelion, who wants to win over the nobles. Get off the horse and get on top yourself. "
