Chapter 794: Dragon Cliff Castle
Chapter 803 Dragon Cliff Castle
As the only capable dragon knight commander in the kingdom, Kaslo is the natural choice. No one is more suitable than him to be Fenglin Xilan's teacher. Although her brother Fenglin Youlan is also a dragon knight commander, Long Xi's "disability" directly cuts off the possibility of Fenglin Youlan teaching her. After all, the battlefield of dragon knights is in the sky, and a dragon knight who can't even fly has no future!
So Kaslo tragically turned into a kindergarten principal, taking Weiss, who had just become an adult, with Fenglin Xilan, who was still immature.
The population and soldiers brought by the McDougal family obviously cannot be stationed in Lagran City. In the end, Roland had no choice but to choose to restart Dragon Cliff Castle!
Dragon Cliff Castle is the most comprehensive functional city in the Twelve Cities of the Rapid River, which is closest to Lagrande City. Different from the East Emperor Fortress and the Rapid River Fortress, Dragon Cliff Castle was originally used as the base of the dragon riders of the empire. The subsequent emergence of the dragon rider family and the stationing of dragon riders in various places led to the decline of the significance of Dragon Cliff Castle as a military fortress, so it became a comprehensive city after expansion.
Because the northern bank of Dragon Cliff Castle suddenly rose hundreds of meters above sea level to form a cliff next to the Rapid River, and the caves carved out of the cliff wall were once the cradle of the imperial dragon riders and the original residence of the dragon riders. Therefore, Roland planned to use this area to build a city. Of course, it could not be built into a military fortress. After all, the kingdom did not need to build a dragon rider training base, but the dangerous terrain and the surrounding plains determined that it was a good place to build a city.
...
"Your Majesty, you want them to build a city?" Vladivostok had resigned as the quartermaster at this moment, but he still served Roland as a political officer under Roland.
"Well, aren't you good at coordination? Make some arrangements for them! Lagran City definitely can't accommodate them." Roland nodded. It wasn't that Roland didn't want his people to live in Lagran City, but there was no place for them to live in Lagran City except the palace and the barracks!
"The soldiers in the city can help with material collection! There are so many trees in the wasteland that they can chop down!" Roland suggested.
"It's difficult to build a stone city, so we can build a wooden city first! At least they have a place to live! And after the snow melts, they have to open up wasteland and farm. The plains there are just right for them!" Roland said seriously. It is unlikely that there will be arable land around Lagran City. After all, there will be either magic plantations or magic industrial bases around it, or Warcraft ranches and some small satellite cities. Where will the land come from for them to farm? In a place like the imperial capital where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, precious land cannot be wasted as arable land.
"Okay." As an important member of the Hand of the Flow family, Vladivostok certainly has extraordinary insights. He is not an uneducated dandy, and of course he knows the future situation of the imperial capital, so what Roland said is already the best solution.
"And the most important point is that Lagrande City will become the front line at any time. I can't risk letting a group of unarmed people stay here to take risks!" Roland said firmly. Population is also a kind of wealth, and the kingdom is most short of population now. Roland can't put these people in a place where the orcs can touch them at any time. If someone wants to fight with Roland, Lagrande City should be fine, but the people who depend on it outside will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Even the most brain-dead king can't do this!
...
"Longya Castle?" Looking at Roland staring at the map, Adolf Heinrich rarely showed a look of reminiscence.
"What? Remember the Augustus family?" Roland obviously understood what Adolf Heinrich was thinking.
"Yes...times have changed, things have changed..." Adolf Heinrich sighed.
"If the Augustus family had successfully taken the bronze dragon out of Dragon Cliff Castle, everything would have been different..." Adolf Heinrich murmured.
It is well known that the Augustus family and the Sword and Shield family had a grudge. The Augustus Duke family, which almost became a dragon rider family, was pulled down by the Southern Territory Noble Alliance headed by the Sword and Shield Marquis family, which caused a civil war in the empire. If the Augustus family had successfully ridden a dragon, nothing would have happened. After all, with the strength of the Sword and Shield family, it was not qualified to challenge a dragon rider family. The deterrent power of a single dragon rider family may not be strong, but when they unite, even the emperor has to sit and listen to them finish their words!
As the protagonist, Longya Castle played an important role in it. Since it was a dragon knight base, there would naturally be no shortage of dragons. Dozens of dragons raised by the empire stayed in the dragon nest here, waiting for the trainee dragon knights who were destined to meet them. At the peak, there were hundreds of dragons gathered here! Countless first-generation dragon knights who founded the dragon knight family came out of here! And all this came to an abrupt end with the civil war in the empire...
When dragon blood stained the sky and the bodies of dragon knights covered the ground, these dragons who once had the most firm friendship with the empire left this country in disappointment. They could not accept that they became weapons in the civil war of the empire, and they could not accept that they and the knights became consumables of the war. When the last dragon flew away from the dragon nest, this ancient city that had cultivated dragon knights for the empire for thousands of years fell its last glory, and Longya Castle no longer had dragons...
"Do you think I can restore the glory of the empire?" Roland did not answer Adolf Heinrich's words, but asked back.
"I don't know, maybe it can be done, maybe not, let's leave it to the Dragon God!" Adolf Heinrich smiled bitterly. As a sinner of the empire, he had no right to comment on these things. That battle caused too much damage to the empire. It directly killed the nobles of the southern border, crushed the potential of the nobles of the winter border, and even broke the backbone of the nobles of the western border.
"Let him go." Roland nodded optimistically. After all, with the system in hand, Roland could at least guarantee to take back the northern and western borders, not to mention the entire empire. Roland didn't think much about the rest. After all, the Lagran Empire was not all conquered by the first emperor alone. There must be room for expansion for future generations.
"Pay attention to the supply of materials, don't let the people freeze to death, let the 1,000 Lagran City guards go with the people, the people in the wasteland also need protection!" Roland ordered Adolf Heinrich. Although the orcs were defeated, it was inevitable that there would be scattered orcs wandering in the wasteland. These orcs were targets for the regular army, but they were naturally butchers against civilians!
"Fortunately, these people brought a lot of things with them, otherwise we really couldn't get them together in a short time!" Roland stood on the top of the city to see his people off to the west. He sighed to Adolf Heinrich. Fortunately, these people brought a lot of ox carts and hoes and steel forks, and large and small bags of tents and bedding were almost complete, which reduced Roland's replenishment pressure a lot. The most important thing is that the food they carried was enough for them to eat for two years in addition to saving seeds... Thanks to the executor of the Fire Plan! Finally, Roland didn't have to experience the domination of famine.
…
"Ymir! Why did these orcs retreat?" Ysmir, panting, propped up his staff and waved his bloody sword in one hand, puzzled.
"Who cares! Thank God! Dragon God! These mad dogs finally ran away!" Ymir panted.
