Chapter 483 High Quality Clay

On the third day after the First Knights successfully stationed at West Wind Hill, Ronin rode a giant dragon to the military camp.

West Wind Hill can be regarded as half of his enclave. He came here mainly to investigate the surrounding environment and resources.

As for the enemy situation, the main forces of the Tricia Kingdom were placed opposite the Red Pine Castle, and there was only one knight group defending West Wind Hill. Rydal was fully capable of handling it.

Accompanied by Rydal and Odoro, Ronin inspected the main defense points and watched the soldiers' usual training. He also said a lot of encouraging words.

In addition to the additional subsidies enjoyed by members of the army stationed at the border, those who killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions will also receive rewards such as money, equipment, porcelain, silk, and fields.

These rewards did not stop at words. Ronin had asked Rydal and others to discuss and formulate appropriate clauses and make them public to all knights and soldiers in the territory.

For most people, it is almost difficult to become an honorary knight or even a baron.

However, killing the enemy and earning rewards is much easier.

Therefore, the implementation of this measure can indeed motivate the soldiers.

"My lord, the terrain of West Wind Hill is mainly small hills and forests. There is a flat area over the hill in front, and the Watchtower is thirty miles away. According to the information provided by Viscount Dennis, the commander of the Watchtower is Viscount Placido Carmen, who has the strength of a meteor peak."

The three of them quickly came to the top of the hill. Ronin's eyes swept across the valley plain below, and he could vaguely see the Watchtower of the Kingdom of Tricia.

"At the peak of the Meteor level, he is a good talent."

Ronin smiled and said, "If we go to war later, we will recruit talents like this if we can. Our final enemy is in the Crescent Continent. As long as these knights can be used by me, we can let them live."

"Of course, if they are confirmed to be in collusion with the Holy Storm Organization, there is no need to keep them."

Rydar nodded, "I understand."

Ronin retracted his gaze, "Are there any other valuable specialties in West Wind Hill?"

Rydar looked at Odoro.

The latter immediately became more energetic. Facing the young but powerful noble in front of him, he was a little nervous in his forties.

"My lord, the commander has asked me to do a detailed survey and statistics. No special minerals have been found here, and even stone mines are rare. However, there is more clay here, which was made into bricks by Viscount Dennis and others. Many houses are made of adobe bricks."

There are still bricks in this world, and Ronin has seen a lot of them. But compared to using clay to burn bricks to build houses, they prefer to use wood directly, or pile up stones with mud.

"What kind of clay?"

Ronin asked, "Speaking of which, the kaolin in Huitu Village is also a kind of clay, and its value is not low."

"It's different from kaolin."

Rydar smiled and said, "I've been there, it's a red clay, if you want to know, you can follow me."

"Then take me to see it."

As they said that, the two of them stepped into the air and left.

This scene made Odoro feel awed and yearning. With such a lord and commander, how could they lose the battle on the border?

Under the leadership of Rydar, Ronin came to the western forest and saw many red clay pits that had been dug. It looked like the scale of the clay was very large.

Ronin made a detailed survey.

The clay here is not kaolin, and porcelain cannot be made.

However, the quality of the clay is high, and it is completely possible to make high-quality pottery.

In addition, with the research on steam power, Ronin can make crushers and grinders to crush stones, iron ore, etc. to produce cement.

"The stone mines in Boulder City are rich in variety. With the clay here, as well as iron ore, gypsum, etc., cement can be produced."

"Cement?" Rydal was puzzled.

"A good building material."

Ronin smiled and explained: "It seems that West Wind Hill is not a barren place. I didn't waste the operating rights I applied to His Majesty the King."

Rydal smiled and said: "Your ability in territory construction is not inferior to your cultivation talent. In my experience, I have never been as knowledgeable and wise as you!"

Ronin laughed, "When did you speak so nicely?"

"Well, I'm just stating the objective facts."

As the two talked, two figures quickly shuttled in, led by Odoro. Ronin didn't know the burly man behind him.

"My lord, commander, Viscount Denni said he wanted to see you for something important." Odoro reported.

Rydal was a little confused and didn't understand why the other party came here again?

"Dear Marquis of Moonlight Valley, Denni Torres greets you."

Denni greeted and looked at Ronin.

As he had been stationed at the border for a long time, he had never seen this legendary figure. Today, he saw him and he looked younger than he had imagined.

"Nice to meet you, Viscount Dennis. What do you want to talk to us about?"

Dennis glanced at Ridal and said with a smile: "When I left, I told Ridal that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was waiting for him at Red Pine Castle. I didn't expect that His Excellency the Captain hadn't been there these days."

He spread his hands and said the following words apologetically: "His Highness was very angry, so he asked me to come here to inform Redar and told him to arrive at Red Pine Castle today. Otherwise, whatever consequences may arise, you and the captain will have to bear them together."

Redar did not argue, but admitted that it happened, "I have been dealing with the defense of West Wind Hill these days, so I was delayed."

He did not expect that Red Pine Castle would send someone to urge him.

Roning raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in surprise: "Why are you so anxious to find Redar? Does His Highness the Crown Prince have any combat missions arranged recently?"

Roning frowned slightly. He did not receive any notice to attack the Kingdom of Tricia.

Dennis was stunned for a moment, "Well, I haven't heard of this, but I think His Highness wants to see you for something else, right?"

Roning nodded slightly, "In that case, Rydal, you go with Dennis to see what arrangements His Highness the Crown Prince has made."

"Okay, sir."

Denny was surprised and said, "Is the Marquis not going to go with us?"

Roning shook his head, "I have handed over the defense of West Wind Hill to Rydal, and he can make decisions for me. I have other urgent things here, so I won't go."

Roning's relationship with Garrett is not very good. At the wedding at the end of last year, the other party only said a symbolic blessing in front of everyone, and there was no communication in private.

According to Blanche, it is probably his rise that made Garrett unhappy.

Roning thought he had done nothing wrong to Garrett, but gave him enough face in many things, but he didn't expect to be treated like this in return.

The other party was eager to let Rydal go when there was no war in the near future. Maybe he had something to explain, but he might also be showing off his power by using his status as the commander-in-chief.

Therefore, in order to avoid direct friction, it is better for Ronin not to go, even if it still makes the other party unhappy.

Denny was confused in his heart. He didn't know the relationship between Ronin and Garrett.

But he knew the temper of the Crown Prince. If he knew that Ronin came to the front line but didn't visit, the Crown Prince would definitely be very unhappy.

However, he couldn't persuade him.

After all, Ronin's status was there, much higher than his.

And this time, the higher-ups only asked him to invite Redar to Red Pine Castle, and didn't mention Ronin.

"Okay, then Redar, let's go now."

He smiled and said, "If everything goes well, we can return in the evening."

Redar bowed slightly to Ronin, and then left the forest with Denny, riding a griffin to Red Pine Castle.

There shouldn't be any moths, right?

Luo Ning muttered in his heart, "Odoro, there is something you need to arrange for someone to do."

Odoro bowed and said, "My lord, please give me your orders!"

"Go find a few people to dig a dozen buckets of this clay, I will bring it back for use." (End of this chapter)
