Chapter 848: Rapid River Route

Chapter 857 The Rapid River Route

"Get up! Get up!" At the urging of the officers, the confused Gondor soldiers and militiamen were dragged out of their beds. They shivered in the autumn wind and looked very helpless.

"What time is it? Still sleeping? No training?" The knights who were the instructors were just as confused as them. This morning, the knights waited for them in the training ground for a long time but did not see anyone. Thinking that something had happened, the knights ran to their camp to investigate. It didn't matter if they didn't look. When they saw it, they almost exploded with anger. They saw these Gondorians lying on their beds with their legs spread out and snoring like thunder. The knights almost sent them away on the spot.

"Is today a day off?" Arthur calculated the time and said.

"How can you have a day off when you are a soldier? Do you have the nerve to sleep with them like this?" The knight who was holding the Gondorian soldiers asked with a gloomy face. Arthur looked at his comrades standing crookedly and shut his mouth.

...

"The foundation is really poor!" Fenglin Youlan complained to Roland.

"There is no way. You have to accept these Gondorian farmers who put their weapons into storage and let their horses go to the south mountain... After all, they have been at peace for a long time!" Roland shrugged. He had nothing to say about Gondor's performance. Heroic and good at fighting should not be associated with the current Gondor. The corrupt nobles are leading this country to the abyss!

"Alas, their quality is shockingly poor. Even the basic formations need to be taught countless times! Can you believe that these soldiers can't tell left from right!" Fenglin Youlan's head is as big as a bucket. Will people who can't even tell left from right go on the battlefield to cause trouble to their teammates?

"You need to overcome all these. After all, I'm handing these people over to you! You won't bring shame to the reputation of the McDougal family, right?" Roland looked at Fenglin Youlan with interest.

"Bang!" Fenglin Youlan slapped the table.

"You can question my ability, but you can't question my honor!" Fenglin Youlan's face was dark.

"Then I'll wait and see!" Roland nodded with satisfaction. Whether it succeeds or not, he will not suffer any loss! Win-win means that I win the same thing twice!

...

"Pah!" Baron Ismir put down the mud in his hand and wiped the sweat on his face with the back of his hand.

"My lord, do you want to take a break?" Ymir, who was holding a boulder and a log on the side, put down the items in his hand and turned to Ymir.

"No hurry, let's build this place first!" Ymir declined Ymir's suggestion to take a break, and instead took out a ball of mud from the bucket again and started to fill the gap! Looking away, a dock located outside the Windhelm City is quietly landing! Although it is just a simple wooden and stone dock, plus a crude dock made of mud, it is also an amazing job!

"Baron!" When Ishmir was working hard, a call came from the Rapid River. Hearing this, Ishmir looked up instantly.

"Is this dock ready for use? I need to unload the goods!" There were several galleons floating on the river, and the one on the boat that was docked was the leader of the Lagrande caravan, Ruel.

"Your Excellency Ruel, welcome! Of course you can use it!" Ishmir nodded and rubbed his hands happily.

"Okay! Here are the shopping lists. Check if there are any problems!" Ruel took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ishmir, which recorded Ishmir's needs in detail.

"Okay! Let me see!" Ishmir took the list and looked at it. It was all about his life and property! Compared to the dragon knight that Roland promised, which was far away, the materials purchased with these bounties were what he needed most at this stage. After a long time, he finally had the manpower to build a stable port wharf. Maybe this wharf will develop into the largest port wharf on the west coast, but now, he can finally use this convenient water transport to handle large quantities of goods!

As baskets of weapons, armor and food were carried off the ship, everyone smiled happily. At least this winter can be a good year! This allows the territory of Ismir, which has a population of thousands, to have a comfortable winter!

"All these? So many?" Ismir looked at the endless porters behind Ruel curiously. Although he purchased a lot of small things, there shouldn't be so many, right? All for one ship?

"Where can there be so many? Many of them are for His Majesty!" Ruel smiled bitterly and said helplessly. How big is Ismir's territory? Can it afford to consume these things? Besides, Roland is not a fool. He doesn't know how to use the Rapid River and the fleet? Some of the supplies here are from the Beidubao gathering place, and some are for the workers working in Pingnan City! The rest are all living supplies for Lagran City! Compared with the dragon knight riding a dragon and using space equipment for air transportation, this not only liberates high-end combat power but also reduces costs!

"Oh!" Ismir nodded in understanding. It turned out that this fleet was sending supplies to King Roland, so there was no problem!

"Okay, everything is ready! You count it, I will take people away in a while!" Ruel nodded.

"Okay!" Ismir and Ymir immediately checked the list and began to count.

...

"No problem! Have a safe journey!" Ismir patted his chest and saluted Ruel.

"Thank you for your good words, the Dragon God will protect us!" Ruel also nodded solemnly.

Under Ismir's gaze, Ruel continued to set sail with the fleet to the south of Lagran City, leaving only the excited people of Windhelm Town looking at the goods on the ground.

"Put the materials into the warehouse and count them first!" Ismir waved his hand and ordered.

"Can this thing really hold up?" Roland asked the attendants behind him worriedly as he stepped on the creaking wooden boards of the pier.

"That shouldn't be the case, right? We built this thing ourselves!" Darien Nightblade emerged and considered it.

"I'm afraid of the possibility that we built it ourselves!" Roland knows everyone's craftsmanship very well! It’s already a sign of mercy from the Dragon God that this thing doesn’t fall apart now!

After all, you can't expect these reckless men to do embroidery work. They built a mature dock by driving in wooden piles and tying wooden planks. It can be regarded as a full-scale hands-on level, but it is a bit worrisome to walk on it.

"I saw the fleet!" Kaslo rode a dragon and landed next to Roland.

"There are no messy things following them. Longwei has expelled most of the aquatic monsters. It seems that their condition is still intact!" Kasluo expressed his judgment.

"Your Majesty~" Ruel looked at Roland who was moved to tears. He ignored the others and just picked up a bag of supplies wrapped in linen and rushed over. According to the script, it was supposed to be a scene where the king and his ministers recognized each other. As a result, Lu Er I chose shame between losing my life and being lost...

"Click~"

"Go back!" Roland's ears twitched, and he put his raised foot back again.

"Plop!" Luer's disappearing technique was activated! Ruhl disappeared from the dock in an instant, and only the broken and slightly shaking wooden boards still proved that someone had been standing here just now.

"Help!" Seeing Ruel falling into the water, Roland rushed forward.

"So this route is open?" Roland looked at Ruel and asked curiously. It is not easy to know the water conditions of the Swift River. Statistics are also a big effort, not to mention the need to clean up the monsters along the way!
