Chapter 578: Palembang Site Selection
"So what is his position?" Roland asked.
"The former Palembang!" Ormsk said seriously.
"Where?" Roland thought for a moment and knew what place Ormsk was talking about. One of the most prosperous inland ports in the game was located on the east bank of the Swift River. Opposite him was the tributary of the Swift River in the Mirkwood Mountains. When the Great Green Forest was once ruled by the Lagrand Empire, it served as a busy transit point for shipping trade and was the trade window for the noble fiefdoms within the Great Green Forest.
"Yes, Palembang is very suitable for your needs! And he can communicate with the water system of the entire empire's original map!" Ormsk clicked, presumably Roland, as a smart king, does not need his subordinates to say too much, just build it once Roland would not be unaware of the importance of constantly projecting his power to port cities across the country.
"Okay, our first development point will be right there!" Roland nodded.
"Then get ready to go!" Ormsk nodded, and then he summoned the soldiers to inform the people to follow.
"Now, Your Highness will say a few words!" Seeing that the departure was imminent, Ormsk directly used his fighting spirit to amplify his voice so that all those who were preparing to open up could hear his voice.
"Your Highness!"
Everyone knelt down on one knee devoutly to offer their loyalty to Roland. Although sometimes this king was unreliable, he never failed at critical moments. At least the people under his rule could still live and work in peace and contentment.
"You are all the cornerstone of the kingdom! The seeds of the future empire's revival! Today we walk out of Swift River City and return to the territory that originally belonged to us! Barren fields! Flattened cities! Don't worry, don't be sad! We will rebuild brick by brick Build him up! Just like our ancestors who had nothing! I swear in the name of King Lagrand! I will not hesitate to confer titles on meritorious ministers!" Roland's passionate speech, coupled with the temptation of a huge reward later, everyone Their eyes are red, that is the possibility of becoming a noble master!
"How many of us are there?" Roland asked the absent-minded Yun Feng in a low voice.
"Alas... I selected 500 families, but the common people were not happy. They thought that allowing women and children to go was a waste of quota and dangerous, so in the end I gathered 2,000 strong young people here!" Yun Feng shrug.
"My Dragon God... 6,500 young people are out of labor?" Roland's eyes twitched and he felt a pain in his chest! Two-thirds of the labor force is gone!
"If I hadn't stopped... not many of the remaining people would be able to stay! Besides, there's no need to keep them..." Yun Feng sighed.
"After the spring plowing is over, I will organize the remaining labor force to start building roads, and the Imperial Avenue will be rebuilt in my hands!" Yun Feng's eyes flashed with the ambition of leaving a lasting legacy. The road he wants to build is along the rapids The river leads all the way to the inner sea of Rune. This road runs through all the core cities of the empire and the territories directly under the jurisdiction of the empire. Together with the Swift River, it is also called the main waterway artery of the empire!
"Hiss..." Roland started to have a toothache. He understood why he wanted to build a road first if he wanted to get rich, but he also just wanted to build a road to connect the current territory with the city. As a result, Yun Feng was ready to do it all at once.
"Why are you looking like this? It's not a one-time repair! It's built in sections! We'll build the Swift Current City to Lulong Fortress first..." Yun Feng looked at Roland with contempt, obviously disdainful of someone's IQ.
"..." Roland, I am the emperor of Gotham!
"Your Highness, everyone is ready!" Ormsk interrupted the two people's explanation and nodded towards Roland.
"Let's go! We can't delay the spring plowing!" Roland nodded. After all, these pioneers will open up new farmland and build towns after they leave. If they can't catch up with the spring plowing, they will have nothing to eat next year.
"How is the arrangement of the guards?" Roland asked.
"The Knights and a hundred Lagrand City guards will accompany them!" Ormsk said.
"Ah? So insidious?" Roland looked surprised. He thought that at least 500 Lagrand City guards would be needed to protect civilians! Although there will only be 100 people permanently stationed there in the future.
"You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are!" Before Ormsk could say anything, Yun Feng was furious.
"Are you going to fill the holes where the army is dispatched? Where can people eat horses' chews for free? Just after a great war, the national treasury is so poor that it can run away with rats!" Yun Feng jumped to his feet and became furious. He felt like Zhu Gaochi looking at Zhu Di at the moment. In the same way, one person is working hard to save his family's wealth, while the other person is spending money without any scruples.
"Ahem, forget it, 100 is 100! Very good!" Roland touched his nose and thought about his wallet... Forget it, there won't be any big problems anyway, the knights are accompanying him after all!
In fact, the majority of consumption during this expansion is the Knights. The feed for these Warcraft War Horses is no cheaper than human food, and even the food that ordinary people eat is not as good as the food for War Horses. These low-level Warcraft Gale Horses need to eat eggs and beans to maintain their physical strength and nutrition. You will definitely lose weight if you eat grass. This is why raising the knights requires a lot of financial and material resources!
…
Under the cheers of the family members, the pioneering team left Rapid City. Unlike the last time when the citizens recruited by Apophis Breo left, this time the scene was very lively. Everyone was looking forward to their father and husband. Or the son can strive for a title.
"I will lead the knights forward to clear the way first!" Ormsk looked at the slowly marching infantry team behind him and said. Those young men carrying large and small bags can be said to be very fast without the drag of women and children. You can imagine How bad the road conditions are.
"It's really a miracle that those soldiers were able to get to Lulong Fortress in time!" Roland, who thought it was nothing before, compared the speed with ordinary people's traveling speed, God! Did all my soldiers fly to Lulong Fortress in the past? Can you catch up quickly in this road condition?
Roland, who had not ridden a horse on the battlefield for a long time, felt like he was reborn. Even riding a horse was a lot unfamiliar. He swayed with the sway of the horse's back in a strange way, and Doss in his arms groaned dissatisfied.
"It's been a long time since I came out..." Roland said with some emotion. After all, he hadn't led an army on an expedition for a long time. As he became more powerful, he gradually faded out of the center of the battlefield...
Roland waved his lance a little unfamiliarly, and then he realized that the battlefield was getting farther and farther away from him...
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Looking at Roland who was a little sentimental, Kaslo rode up and came over. After all, he was Roland's number one henchman and his level of loyalty was very high!
"It's okay, I just remembered how time flies so fast before!" Roland looked at the melting land and smiled.
"Yes, time flies so fast... We have risen again." Kaslow looked at the people walking and smiled. This battle revealed the prestige of Lagrand in the entire Middle-earth! Everyone will hear the fame of the Kingdom of Raglan! This emerging kingdom defeated the orc army head-on! Frustrated the attack of the Nazgul! Thinking of the embarrassment that no one knew his name when he first arrived, Kaslo has witnessed the development of the kingdom with his own eyes to the now famous leader of the North.
"Where are we going? Your Highness?" Kaslo looked at Roland.
"Hahaha, let's go to Palembang, the former northern trade transfer station!" Roland smiled and raised his whip.
"Palembang?" Kaslo smiled knowingly. It seemed that the old site of Palembang was chosen for this development.
