Chapter 858 The Gradually Calm Year 2952

"Ugh! Puff!" Ruel vomited and then squeezed out a mouthful of river water from his stomach.

"Ugh!" Ruel's face suddenly changed while vomiting, and then he vomited a finger-long fish from his mouth with a strange look.

"Dragon God! Be careful!" Roland shook his head speechlessly.

"Caslo! Have someone reinforce this place!" Roland shook his head. The wooden docks may indeed have a poor load-bearing capacity. In addition, this is a flat river bank, and the silt is very soft. It is not surprising that these docks will sink.

"Let's go! Come with me into the city to change clothes, and leave the rest to the guys and soldiers!" Roland pulled Ruel up and walked towards the city without saying anything.

The dizzy Ruel was dragged into the city of Lagrande by Roland like a puppet, and then thrown to the servants. The servants will help Ruel appear in front of Roland decently again.

Sure enough, after a while, Ruel came over with wet hair.

"Your Majesty!" Ruel knelt on one knee, touched his chest and offered his loyalty to Roland. Since the recovery of Lagran City, this was Ruel's first time to enter the capital. In the past, the transportation of materials was completed by Kaslo with space equipment!

"Get up, no need to be polite! I was quite surprised that Nix asked you to come this time!" Roland said with emotion.

"Her Majesty means that we need to use this artery. After all, the Rapid River is our mother river. The convenience and cheapness of shipping are incomparable advantages. We have to learn to get used to restoring the transportation function of the Rapid River. We can't always let the dragon knights serve as the transport team, right?" Ruel smiled and stood up.

"Well, she makes sense, but I still have to thank you for overcoming various difficulties and opening up the route. Did you encounter any danger along the way?" Roland asked with concern.

"No, His Majesty Mogus escorted the team, and several monsters that showed up have been killed by him!" Ruel shook his head and smiled.

"Mogus is here? Why didn't I see him?" Roland turned his head and looked behind Ruel.

"He should be behind? His Majesty Mogus guarded the fleet all night last night, and he may not be up yet!" Ruel nodded.

"What? Was he ambushed by a monster?" Roland touched his nose.

"Not a monster! It's the orcs on the south bank!" Ruel smiled bitterly.

"That's it!" Ruel took out a bone arrow and handed it to Roland.

"We often have these orcs harassing us along the way. Although they can't cause any harm, they are really annoying!" Ruel shrugged and said speechlessly. After all, it's really disgusting to have a bunch of sticky candies sticking to you!

"Then you didn't think about expelling and hunting them?" Roland asked curiously. His armed caravan was not a vegetarian! This was an armed caravan!

"Use it! There is no other use except wasting crossbows!" Ruel shrugged. It was not cost-effective to shoot those orcs who only had canoes with expensive crossbows in the kingdom!

"And I found that many orcs have begun to sneak across the north bank! I have sent a letter to Lulong Fortress by pigeon! I hope General Renault can send troops to clean it up!" Ruel sighed.

"Have the orcs crossed the river?" Roland frowned. It was good enough that he didn't go looking for them! But the orcs dared to come here to die?

"Yes! They have crossed the river! I saw several wandering orcs have successfully crossed the river and some are preparing to cross the river! His Majesty Mogus has already disposed of them harmlessly!" Ruel nodded and said the coldest words with a smile.

"Among them, Beidu Fort is the most serious! The water flow in the area is gentle, and the orcs can easily cross the wide rapid river!" Ruel looked at the sand table in Roland's side hall command center and immediately walked over happily to point out the location to Roland.

"No wonder!" Roland nodded in understanding. As the largest and gentlest ferry in the north, Beidu, the crossing conditions there are originally very good! Beidu Fort was developed because of Beidu. I didn't expect that the orcs would use these terrain advantages before them!

"The garrison of Beidu Fort is..." Roland frowned and suddenly couldn't remember who was stationed in Beidu Fort.

"It's Baron Lance!" Ruel said respectfully. He was just a lord who had just joined the ranks of the nobility. He was still envious of Lance, who was destined to be a hereditary baron.

"Lance! That's okay! He's very stable!" Roland breathed a sigh of relief. As the most stable person in the kingdom, Lance didn't have any outstanding features. In other words, he was mediocre and cautious. But Roland liked mediocre and cautious people as his subordinates. Although they might not have any flashes of inspiration, they could still do their work perfectly! Simply put, don't seek merit, but seek no mistakes!

Roland trusted Lance very much. After all, he was an old man who followed him. Although his ability was much worse, he was still a qualified archon!

"But Baron Lance doesn't have many soldiers under his command, so he probably needs to ask for help!" Ruhl shook his head and was not optimistic about Lance alone. After all, the vast territory of Beidu Fort needed to be cleared, and Lance couldn't monitor every enemy with his limited troops!

"Then leave it to Renault. After all, Lance's current troops can protect themselves!" Considering that there were only a few scattered orcs, and Renault's Lulong Fortress was blocking him, Roland decided to leave everything to them. After all, he was not a master of micro-manipulation, and he couldn't give a cerebral order to move the shield 5 meters to the left. Roland, who firmly believed in the famous saying that every profession has its own expertise, happily left the tactical decision to his subordinates.

"That's fine!" Ruel nodded, but he didn't say anything. After all, Roland was pursuing the entire Lagran Plain, not the narrow strip of land along the Rapid River! So the probability of the kingdom taking a defensive position is extremely low!

"Is there any big event in Rapid City?" Roland looked at Ruel curiously.

"No, but there was a joke in Windhelm. Baron Ismir wanted to build buildings by saving materials, so processing and utilizing wood was the best choice. A large number of wooden buildings were soaked and rotten after the heavy rain in the past few days, and the city wall collapsed!" Ruel covered his face and said embarrassedly.

The new city area expanded by Ismir still did not escape the erosion of rivers and rainwater. This is the embarrassment of saving stone materials in wood and stone structure buildings.

"..." Roland was embarrassed and almost fell out of the castle. Don't they know to bake the wood to carbonize it to increase its service life?

"Oh, by the way! The Lion Territory has also called a truce!" Ruel said seriously. Apophis Breo, who had been fighting the Misty Mountain Orcs for a long time, finally stopped fighting in the autumn of this year. It was not because he was a coward, but because Apophis Breo found that developing people's livelihood was more important than beating the Orcs.

"Oh my God! Thank God! These two finally settled down! I hope they can spend the year 2952 of the Third Age well!" Roland sighed. After all, it was beyond Roland's expectation that these two warmongers had fought for so long. Although the intermittent small fights were not very noticeable, the degree of bloodletting for the Orcs would definitely surprise them when they came to their senses!

"Who said it wasn't! Duke Apophis Breo even dragged the elves into the water for a long time! I guess the elves in Rivendell didn't want to fight anymore." Ruel smiled and covered his face.

"Tsk! He dragged the elves in Rivendell into the water?" Roland couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
