Chapter 980 Ordinary People

…

"So, in the end, Miss Tilly was asked to write the "Flight Manual"?" Anna put down the book in her hand and said with a chuckle, "Wendy won't be shocked, right?"

"It will definitely be a little low, but I think it won't be a big problem." Roland moved up to make himself more comfortable.

"Are you so sure?"

"Nightingale just made an advance payment for next month's Chaos drinks, and Shujuan also requested three ice cream rolls. With the two of them accompanying me, I might be able to recover in one night. And I also specially sent two bottles of fruit wine. It’s a kind of comfort. When you’re drunk, you won’t remember it anymore.”

"Is this wine called drunkenness, dreams, and death?"

"No, it's called Vanilla Medium."

"What, it's really ordinary..."

Roland is always the most relaxed moment at such times - after the two of them wash away the dust and fatigue of the day, they lean on the soft black velvet pillow and share the trivial things they have experienced during the day. Usually, Anna would bring a travel journal or miscellaneous biography with her to read before falling asleep. One thing he liked to do was to turn sideways and admire the soft and bright profile of the other person's face.

Since the construction of the Hidden Forest Railway Line started, this was one of the few times the two of them could face each other.

Almost every three days, she would take a train to the northwest to repair the paved track, and then take the train back in the evening.

Even without welding rails, she has plenty to keep busy.

For example, some key parts of weapons.

As well as the replacement and improvement of new machine tools.

She is also inseparable from the cutting and assembly of the glider's skeleton.

Although the industrial level of the Western Territory has made great progress compared with when it was first created, and basic metal raw materials and production tools have been de-witched, it cannot keep up with the speed of Roland's design updates.

Therefore, this leisure time is even more precious.

"But it's not bad for Miss Tilly to write the "Flight Manual"," Anna changed the topic back to test flights. "After all, what you ultimately want to create is for everyone to use. Her feelings are closer to ordinary people. In addition, In terms of learning ability, her knowledge is no longer inferior to mine, and she should be more helpful to you than Wendy."

"Well...Wendy's specialty is indeed not here," Roland nodded, "I should have thought of this from the beginning."

"So, have you thought about the machines for the new plane?"

"Of course," he replied confidently, "this is what I'm best at. What's more, there is a dream world to provide reference, and the prototype drawings can be completed in one step. Just wait for the completion of the petroleum fractionation tower, and we can try it Production has started.”

Then the two chatted a lot about Neverwinter's industrial issues, covering everything from technical details to development plans - and he was not a stand-up comedian alone. Anna could not only understand his intentions, but also express her opinions appropriately. and praise, this feeling of confidant is really refreshing.

Recalling the terrible male-female ratio in the Mechanical Engineering Institute and the job prospects with no hope of improvement, and then looking at the fluttering eyelashes of the girl on the pillow, he suddenly felt like the God of Machinery was protecting him.

Probably because she had been staring for a long time, Anna finally couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is my face so beautiful?"

Roland did not answer, but directly expressed his thoughts through actions - he leaned over and kissed the other person's ear gently.

"If I had known you were like this, I should have taken action earlier." Anna said with a smile on her face.

Are you talking about the time when you intercepted him alone at the gate of the castle on the night of the celebration after the first Demonic Month?

"What did you think I was like at first?" Roland couldn't help but wonder.

"No matter how merciful he is, he is still a prince. The apex of the nobles in the rumors is always different from us."

"Haha... I'm sorry to disappoint you," he pretended to regret, "I'm just an ordinary person."

"No, this is the best..." Anna shook her head and replied, "Because I am also an ordinary person."

*********************

Two days later, in the wilderness.

The main force of the First Army finally arrived at the preset artillery position - Wangbei Slope as scheduled according to the combat plan.

However, what makes Tie Ax suspicious is that this journey has been too smooth. Not only was there no expected blockage, there was not even a single aerial harassment.

He had already made plans to advance on the enemy's corpse, but he didn't see even a trace of the devil in six days. The only battle he encountered was a pack of wolves looking for food. Other than that, the entire plain was in a state of chaos. In the strange silence, it was as if all the monitors had been attracted by the sniper team.

That would be fine if that were the case, but the feedback received from the witches suggests that this is not the case.

In fact, the devil increased the patrol intensity in the first two or three days, and then withdrew most of the terrifying beasts, and the patrols at the outpost have not been restored. It can be said that they gave up monitoring the area.

After setting up camp, Iron Ax immediately summoned the leaders and staff of several participating troops to the central camp.

"What do you think of the devil's silence?"

"It's indeed a bit strange..." Agatha, the representative of the Witch Alliance on this trip, pondered for a moment and said, "The only thing that can restrict their movement is the red mist, but Sylvie said that the construction of the outpost has not stopped, at least the red line supply has not been interrupted. "

"It's easy to understand if it's those nobles," Dawn Dawn continued, "Either there's something wrong with the rear, or they just can't bear to part with this little reconnaissance beast in their hands." After saying that, he looked at Agatha, "Can Miss Sylvie Have you seen any developments regarding the Taquila ruins?”

"It's too far away from them," the latter shook his head. "The sniper team gave up luring the enemy a day ago and is heading towards us."

"How long does it take to arrive?" Tie Ax asked.

"At least four days," Agatha glanced at the map. "Although the Magic Ark is not slow, they are taking the opposite path to the First Army. Of course, if Lightning and Maisie are allowed to come tonight, You can get there.”

"Actually, we don't have to guess the enemy's intentions," Edith suddenly said, "No matter what they want to do, it is a God-given opportunity for us - to enter the attack position without any loss, and the underground supply line is also There's no better way to start than with a clear path. All we have to do next is deploy the fortress guns and level the devil's outpost."

From a consequentialist perspective, this statement is unquestionable.

Tie Ax thought for a moment, "As long as the Magic Ark doesn't surface, it's basically impossible for the devil to discover it, right?"

"You can think so." Agatha replied.

"Then can you ask Maisie to bring Miss Sylvie with you?"

"I'll tell her."

"Thank you," Iron Ax quickly made a decision, "Battlemaster Fanner!"

"Here!" Fanner took a step forward and said.

"Expand the fortress cannon and prepare to fire," he said word by word. "Tomorrow evening, the attack will officially begin!"
