Chapter 555: Change and Waiting

Two years is not a big change for the entire Orlant continent, but it is a big change for Ronin's territory.

The coal transportation railway from Swamp Town to Wubei City has been completed, and through continuous optimization and adjustment, the current steam locomotive has been greatly improved in all aspects.

It is worth mentioning that the nobles who were shocked by the steam locomotive at the beginning rarely placed orders. Compared with the huge expenditure, most of them care more about how much money they have in their pockets and how many gold coins they earn every year.

Duke Vargis has an idea. After all, the Principality of Gistana has a lot of mineral resources. If there is such a railway, it will definitely greatly increase income.

It's just that the Principality of Gistana is fighting with Ferensburg and Balaton, and has no energy and budget to invest in this area.

There are few external orders, so Ronin can only turn to his own territory and Wushan Territory.

Now he has built a railway construction team. After completing the Wubei Territory Railway, he is building a railway connecting Wushan Castle and several mineral resources in Moonlight Valley to the outside world.

During this period, the manufacture of steel ships presided over by Simon has also been launched.

Today, Karada's steel fleet is composed of a steel warship and several warships.

When landing on the east coast of the Principality of Vera, even if it was attacked by a level 4 magic cannon, the steel warship did not suffer much damage.

Today, this fleet has landed in the south of the Kingdom of Tricia, preparing to go upstream along the inland river and occupy the cities along the river.

In addition to the changes in heavy industry, there have been significant changes in other fields.

For example, the scale of Wubei City has expanded several times. Although the settled population has not reached 500,000, it is not much different.

For example, due to the reform and popularization of looms, and the large amount of raw materials absorbed by Wubei City, there are many weavers in the city, as well as small workshops and even factories formed by fabric processing.

In addition, ceramics, papermaking, grain processing, etc. have also gradually become famous and grown, providing many jobs internally and attracting many merchants from land and sea.

Now the wars in various places have not stopped, and the economy is not going up.

However, once things settle down, Wubeiling will undoubtedly become a focal city.

"Father..."

Seeing Roning coming back, Roland opened his arms and ran over crookedly, "Hug~"

"Haha, are you good at home?"

Roning smiled and picked up the little one, teasing him in his arms for a while.

"Where's the lady?"

Bella, now the head maid, whose main task is to take care of the children and serve Blanche on weekdays, hurriedly replied respectfully:

"Several merchants came to the royal capital. It is said that a large number of porcelains need to be ordered. Lady Diane invites the Duchess to go and have a look."

The royal capital is the Golden Feather City.

Since Bruno died and Garrett was imprisoned, many affairs of the kingdom have been managed by six departments.

The effect was good at first, but when many people noticed that Roning's main energy was not there, they began to make their own small moves.

For example, they placed their own people in office, made up various names to allocate funds, etc., and the money reserves of the Kingdom of Alduin were probably spent.

Among them, the Ministry of Industry was the worst.

Minister Coben didn't know how much supplies he had delivered to Shuangfengling with his status and privileges.

Due to the special status of Count Iben of Shuangfengling, Roning turned a blind eye and did not intervene too much.

It is estimated that the other party is plundering and amassing wealth for the purpose of establishing his own principality.

"The merchants in the capital are still rich."

Roning sighed, and then said: "Go and tell Tom to come over."

The plan he discussed with Ridal must be passed on. The attack on Dragon City will be launched in early April next year at the latest, and McKen will need to be present at that time.

As for the Eastern Front, it should be over.

"Okay, sir!" Bella trotted down.

Roning took Roland back to the study.

Although the little one is only two years old, he has begun to learn to read pictures.

Roning will also teach some of his own insights and ideas in the subsequent teaching, and train Roland to be a qualified ruler.

Under normal circumstances, Roning can live for more than 500 years.

He couldn't manage state affairs for so long. After a certain number of years, he could hand it over to his descendants.

It is very necessary to cultivate qualified heirs who can carry forward his ideas.

Dragon City.

This gradually besieged city has long lost its vitality and vigor. Everyone living in the city knows that the Kingdom of Theresia is about to end.

But before the end, Dragon City experienced the most miserable time.

Chaotic and disorderly public security, endless oppression and exploitation, food prices higher than gold, etc.

Many people in the city are even looking forward to the army of the conqueror duke to break through the city gate as soon as possible and overthrow this crumbling monarchy.

Theresia VI, His Majesty Tyro is now disheveled, indulging in singing and dancing banquets every day, and has completely lost his original vigor.

Anyway, he can't leave the palace, and many nobles outside who are not controlled don't listen to his orders. Instead of struggling in vain, it is better to enjoy it.

"Your Majesty!"

The knight in light armor walked into the lively ballroom and whispered, "Bacchus City has been captured, and it was the team led by the legendary strongman Ridar."

Taylor's expression twisted briefly, and then he smashed the wine glass in his hand, "Sir Dusan, how many times have I told you, from now on, report this kind of thing directly to Yanyi, without coming to me!"

A year ago, Taylor's cronies died on the battlefield when they went to the front line, and Dusan came to the stage.

Although he is only at the silver level, it is already very good for Taylor to have a silver knight on hand now.

After all, high-level ones are all used by Yanyi.

But the real situation is that the real Toussaint is dead, and the current Toussaint is pretended by Harmon, who looks very similar.

There is really no one who can do intelligence work and get close to the enemy.

Now as long as Harmon is willing, it won't be a problem for him to assassinate Taylor.

Just killing Taylor would have minimal impact on the overall situation.

Facing Taylor who threw his wine glass angrily, Dusan smiled apologetically: "Master Yanyi has gone into seclusion, I can't see him."

"Retreat, another retreat!"

Taro leaned back and hugged the almost half-dressed beauty in front of him, "His cultivation talent is worse than mine. With the Flame Emblem, do you think he can reach a great realm like Luo Ning in one or two years?"

"Be careful, Your Majesty!" Dusan reminded.

Taylor sneered, "Nothing good has happened since I met them!"

He said and looked at Dusan coldly: "Gungun, don't stop me from drinking!"

"Okay~"

Dusang had no choice but to retreat, and when he came outside the main hall, he let out a depressed breath and thought to himself: "These days are finally coming to an end."

He looked back behind him, and the sound of laughter and dancing music sounded again.

If Taylor was still a normal human being, he might still be able to take the step of voluntarily surrendering.

But when he became the Flame Seal Knight, he had no other choice.

Whoosh~

A strong gust of wind hit him, and Du Sang looked over in shock, only to see a tall and muscular man wearing golden armor appearing in front of him.

He quickly bowed and saluted: "Dusan pays homage to your lord!"

Yanyi hummed, "News from the front line?"

"Bacchus City has been captured. According to the style of Commander Redal, I guess he will rest in Bacchus City for a while. The time to attack Dragon City should be around February or March next year."

Yanyi nodded after hearing this, but the sound in the hall made him very unhappy.

He punched it, and the surging fighting spirit directly destroyed the entire hall, and panicked screams came from inside.

After everything calmed down, only the meteor-star-like Taylor walked out safely.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

Yanyi snorted coldly, "The decisive battle is about to begin. Even if you want to die, you must die on the battlefield. If you let me see such a thing again, let alone these women, even you and I will kill you!"

Although he couldn't control Taylor's words and deeds, it was transformed through the Flame Emblem after all. Relying on the power of the emblem, it could make the other party feel psychologically very uneasy.

Taylor was so excited that he became more awake. When he looked at Yanyi again, he seemed to feel a pressure coming from his blood.

But the unhappiness in my heart has not dissipated, "What else can I do?"

“There’s so much more we can do!”

Yanyi snorted coldly, "I now have the strength of the late legendary stage. With the increase of the Flame Emblem, my strength is infinitely close to the late legendary stage! What's more, there are Thranduil's leftover formations. As long as I use them Correctly, there is no chance of us making a comeback!”

Dusan calmly recorded these words and decided to pass them to Ruidal quietly after returning.

Yan Yi said, but looked at Du Sang.

After Thranduil's death, Tyro also gradually lost his mind, and now his subordinate Dusan, who has a good mind, is one of them.

"How many high-level flame seal knights do we have in reserve now?"

Dusan always maintained a bowing posture: "Sir, now we have two Sun Knights, five Silver Moon Knights, thirteen Meteor Knights including Your Majesty, and more than twenty Golden Knights. !”

"This is our confidence!" Yan Yi said.

As long as the flame seal is activated, their strength will increase. Gold level can become meteor star, and meteor level can become silver moon level.

Although the sun still can't match the legend, it can still hold back one or two.

When the time comes, as long as Luo Ning is introduced into the formation alone, he will be able to deal with it with confidence.

"As long as we kill Ronin, the continent of Orlant will still be ours!"

Yanyi stared at Taylor, "Unless you want to become a waste like Garrett who can't take care of himself, otherwise, show off the courage of your Tricia royal family!"

Taylor's eyes flickered a few times. Although he knew that things would not be as simple as what the other party said, this was his only hope.

It's a pity that although both sides are waiting, there is a huge difference in nature.

Yanyi and the others were waiting for Luo Ning to fall into the trap, but what Luo Ning was waiting for was the time to become a sage. (End of chapter)
