From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 125 Border Conflict (4K)

It is now the beginning of May, and it has entered the beginning of summer. In the past two months, a lot of things have happened in Kana. First of all, there are refugees fleeing to the territory, with hundreds of people.

This made Ryan very worried, because they still came from Marton County next to Linton County, and the rebellion had not subsided, which gave him a bad feeling.

If the war situation continues to be anxious, it is difficult to guarantee that the Grand Duke of the South will not continue to recruit troops to participate in the suppression of the chaos. At that time, Linton County will definitely bear the brunt, because Marton County is too close.

Then the first exam was held in the school, and it turned out that the learning effect was very good, and most of the people had achieved their ideal goals, which made Ryan very pleased.

The construction of the cement road is also proceeding in an orderly manner. A month ago, the construction team has already started to pave the cement road in the city, which is called sand magic by the leaders.

In fact, cement plus river sand can be used as paving materials, although the road surface is not as solid as the concrete in the previous life, nor is it so smooth and beautiful.

But it was many times better than the dirt road that was muddy when it rained. The first road was from the castle to the north of the city. It was nearly one kilometer long and took nearly half a month to repair.

After the cement road is repaired, it needs to be maintained for at least [-] days. Although it is expressly forbidden not to step on it during this period, there are always a few curious people who step on the undried cement road.

After being ordered by Ryan to catch a few typical boards and parade in the street, this trend was curbed, and the subsequent laying was able to proceed smoothly.

Now a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the first road has been officially put into use. Only then did the leaders realize that the black lump of mud at the beginning has actually become as solid as a stone.

In this world, everything beyond one's cognition can be attributed to magic, so it has been passed down, and it has become the magic of the lord, which adds a touch of mystery to Ryan.

Closer to home, when Ryan signed a large and continuous order for papermaking, a problem stood in front of him again, and that was printing.

Although woodblock printing already exists in this world, most of the time it still relies on manual copying, because woodblock printing is time-consuming and laborious, and woodblock printing can only be used as firewood after printing, and there is no value for repeated use.

In addition, the circulation of knowledge is strictly controlled, and there are very few books that need to be printed and disseminated in large quantities, so there are not many places that can be used, and they are often copied by hand.At the same time, there was also a profession that specialized in copying books for a living, known as professional copyists.

Therefore, movable type printing became Ryan's choice again, and he had to feel the wisdom of the ancients, no matter which world he was in.

Compared with papermaking, movable type printing is much simpler, but it needs to be properly localized. There are two current solutions, one is to only make a single letter, and then combine it when using it.

The advantage of this is that it is relatively simple to make, but the typeface needs to be made very small, otherwise the line spacing will appear wide, and it will be troublesome to combine when using.

Another solution is to make fonts in the form of words, and make thousands of commonly used words, which can be taken out directly when used, and can be classified by the first letter of the word, so that it can be found more quickly when used.

Compared with letter fonts, the disadvantage of word fonts is that it is more cumbersome to make, the number is many times higher, and it is not as flexible as it.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Ryan finally chose the word font after careful consideration. As long as the user has a certain cultural foundation, the arrangement and combination will be very fast, and there is no need to make the font too small.

Just when he was about to write down the production process, an urgent news made him furious. The content of the news was that the returning team of Fetrol was inexplicably detained by Baron Brace when they passed through Barony Brace The reason was that they suspected that the other party was carrying dangerous goods into the country.

This outrageous and absurd reason made Ryan laugh angrily. What is considered dangerous goods?That range is too broad. Strictly speaking, the swords carried by the guards are dangerous items. This is completely aimed at him, and it is Chi Guoguo's provocation!
"I really didn't expect that as a nobleman of the kingdom, I let you go, but now I jumped out to make things difficult for me!"

There was a cold light in Ryan's eyes. He has always adhered to the principle of dealing with people, and never took the initiative to make enemies. Unexpectedly, the other party would come up to him again and again like a mad dog.

Besides, it’s nothing else, Fetrol is his own financial officer, and he has been searching for magic crystals and rare materials for several months. This is digging out his life!

The uncle can bear it, but the aunt can't bear it. If the place is not restored, how can he, Ryan, hang around in the kingdom?

"Command Knight Commander Alan that all the soldiers of the First Legion will return to the construction, all vacations will be cancelled, and they will enter a state of combat readiness. And he will lead the Second Battalion to station on standby at the border between Canna and Blaise, carrying heavy weapons.

After arriving, he practiced day and night, and there was so much noise and noise. I want to see if he dares to fight me! "

Ryan's nasal cavity sprayed two scorching air streams, and his tone was full of murderous intent.

Stationing a whole battalion of soldiers to the border is of course not really a direct fight with Baron Brace, but to create pressure on him. If the other party is interested, they should send out all the supplies and personnel.

However, if the other party is not sensible, Ryan will inevitably have to tear his face and fight with him, even if it comes to the noble court, he will justify it!
He firmly believed that the other side would not dare to do anything, because the territories of both sides were on the same border, and any military power must be prepared to resist the orc invasion. If the other side had the courage to fight, no matter whether they won or lost, this winter would not be easy...

In the barracks, Allen was a little surprised when he received the order, but he still faithfully and firmly began to execute Ryan's order. More than half of the soldiers who were farming at home were summoned to return to the building, and after distributing weapons and equipment, they left the city in a mighty manner.

Along the way, they made no secret of their whereabouts, and their eyes that were focused on Kanarling were shocked. Thousands of well-equipped soldiers were a force that could not be ignored no matter where they were.

Baron Bryce, who caused all this, had already received the news before the second battalion reached the border of the two territories. He was not a fool. After detaining Ryan's people, he sent someone to monitor Ryan's movements.

If the other party chooses to swallow his anger, rumors will spread throughout Linton County in the next moment, and Ryan will be ruined!

After Viscount Cheers' castle was defeated by Ryan, he began to collect information about him, and learned that Ryan suffered heavy losses in the last orc invasion, and the refugees didn't even have enough food after the influx, so he decided to planned this event.

When he thought about it, as long as Ryan was not stupid, he would not confront him head-on, and in the end he could only swallow this breath, and then he would completely overwhelm him, and he would be ashamed.

Who knows, the opponent didn't play cards according to the routine at all, and directly suppressed the situation with an army, which meant that they would do it if they were indifferent to life and death.

"Snapped!"

An exquisite vase was slammed on the ground by Blaise, and the fragments flew everywhere. The civil and military officials around did not dare to breathe out, for fear of becoming the target of catharsis.

"How dare he! He's just a baron who missed out on his position, how dare he!"

Blaise roared angrily, and his fists slammed on the table. He was not afraid, but felt that he had been provoked and insulted!

A person who had thousands of casualties in the defensive battle against the orc invasion actually showed his muscles.

"He can hit him if he wants to. I want to see how he spends this winter." Blaise kicked over a chair and roared angrily.

"My lord, calm down, my lord, the opponent's strength is not weak. If swords and soldiers face each other, it will be difficult for us to resist the orcs' looting no matter we win or lose."

Fortunately, there are still smart people. Seeing that he has lost his mind, his chief knight hastily poured cold water on him.

He is in charge of the military of the territory, and he knows how much he owns, which is just enough to hold back the level of the orcs. He really doesn't have the capital to fight this battle.

"Why, you're saying that I'm not as good as Black, he's not afraid of me!" Blaise asked angrily with his eyes wide open, and he had already lost the demeanor and etiquette that a nobleman should have.

He will never forget the scene of lying on a cold stretcher that night, waiting for the priest to treat him. He is sure that if he hadn't been treated in time, he must have gone to see the Lord of the Holy Light!
Whenever he thought of Ryan's name, he felt the pain in his healed ribs, which was the closest he was to death.

After he woke up, he swore that he would make Ryan pay the price, the price of blood and tears!
Seeing this, the chief knight quickly waved his hands and said: "Of course he is not as good as you, and the other party knows this, so why does he dare to do this? It's nothing more than a bluff. This is to negotiate with you. Let's just leave him alone. He didn't dare to be serious.

If you are at a loss at this time, and instead fall into his arms, it will be against you to go to the noble court. "

After hearing the words, Blaise's anger subsided a little. After slowly pacing and meditating, he immediately figured it out. He was dazzled by anger before, and he lost a little consideration. Fortunately, someone reminded him in time.

He glanced at the chief knight appreciatively, nodded and said, "That's true, he's just a paper tiger. But we can't let him show off at the border, how many people can the territory recruit now?"

"Except for the soldiers guarding the city, there are probably more than [-] militiamen with combat experience."

"Okay, you quickly order the recruitment of two thousand militiamen, and then lead people to confront them. We have to overwhelm him in terms of momentum, and we can also prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry."

Blaise sneered, 2000 people against 1000 people, isn't that a pinch?
Unlike the Kanna Territory, the Brace Territory has only a small number of standing troops, probably only a few hundred, which is usually enough.During wartime, militiamen with combat experience are recruited, and military pay can be greatly reduced.

In fact, the main reason is that he is too poor. Unlike Ryan, the family behind him has long been in despair and cannot support him much at all. He can only reduce the number of standing troops. Many territories on the border do this.

Soon, the armies of the two sides faced off at the border of the territory.

Allen was riding a tame wildebeest, his silver and thick plate armor reflected the dazzling light in the hot sun, and a big sword hung from his waist, looking majestic.

He stood quietly in front, and the soldiers of the second battalion behind him were tightly arranged in formation, forming ten formations composed of brigades.

They hold sharp spears and large solid shields, full of murderous aura.

When Blaise's chief knight saw it, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he found that his guess seemed to be slightly off.

There were indeed only more than 1000 people on the other side, but the army was well-groomed, wearing uniform uniforms, and the armor rate exceeded [-]%.

Moreover, the army formation is tight and murderous, and the soldiers' eyes are full of firmness. Even in the face of enemies far more than themselves, they are not timid. It can be seen that they are well-trained, and they are not like that.

What particularly shocked him was the team behind the tall knight on the opposite side. The whole team was actually wearing some kind of heavy armor, which looked like it was made of scales from the body of a monster, with a metallic texture.

"Heavy infantry formation, crossbow formation, cavalry formation..."

The more he looked at him, the more frightened he felt. The opponent only had 1000 people, but the complete range of troops made him unacceptable.He also stayed in the Northern Expeditionary Army for a while, and he knew what such an army represented.

He looked behind him. Although there were more than 2000 people, they were dressed in all kinds of clothes, and the army formation was not tight. Although they were aggressive, their morale was high.

But the comparison between the two sides is like a regular army and a motley army. Do you really have a chance of winning in a fight?
He didn't know, he didn't know what to do.

"Grass, didn't it mean that he suffered heavy losses, didn't he mean that he didn't have to eat food? If this is really possible to support such an army?" the chief knight cursed inwardly. The female relatives greeted him all over the place.

He was observing, and Alan was making a comparison. He finally came to the conclusion that although the opponent was a militiaman, his eyes were full of fierceness and fierceness. Obviously, they had seen blood and could not be treated as a mob army.

But he also has that self-confidence. It only takes half an hour to tear apart their army formation, and the battle can be ended in two or three hours.

The two sides are really not on the same level. Military operations are different from gangsters fighting. The cooperation between various arms and military formations is even more important.

The two chief knights looked at each other, and they could see that the other didn't want to do anything for the time being.

"The opposite is Knight Commander Allen, right? What do you mean, do you want to provoke internal fighting?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he labeled Kana's leading party as a disruptor of unity and stability.Very aristocratic style, first to seize the moral high ground, after all, this world also pays attention to teachers who are famous, and things happen for a reason.

"Your Excellency, you are serious. Our side is just conducting military training in the territory. It is not targeting any party. How can we talk about inciting internal fighting? After all, if people don't attack me, I won't attack anyone."

Allen's eyes were like lightning, and he looked at him seriously and replied.

"Military training? I believe you ghost."
