Roland, considering the role of the pill, did not order the First Army to pursue it in the first place, but sent lightning and Maisie to monitor each other's situation.

The wounded soldiers on the defensive line were immediately rescued, and only five people were wounded in the battle, and all were hit by spears, four of them from artillery.He was gratified that the waves of the enemy's spears approaching about 150 meters did not disperse the artillerymen, but fell down, with the help of the gun frame to avoid the short spear, and in the shortest possible time to re-enter the battle.

Nanawa remained on standby behind the line, especially when the enemy turned to flee, and she ran to the artillery position with the Viscount Tigu in spite of the rumbling of artillery fire, to save the wounded who had been stabbed by short spears.It is hard to imagine that six months ago she was a little girl who would have dizzy when she saw the blood.

In the end, all five survived.In the midst of cheers, many soldiers saluted her and watched her leave the battlefield.

In fact, this battle is much easier than dealing with the Duke's coalition, without drugs, and the militia in an addictive state behaved extremely unbearable, and some people even ran out of two or three kilometers and then lay on the ground, no longer willing to move.

The pursuit forces soon gathered them all together and escorted them to the long song fortress.During this time, the First Army also captured two knights, although they did not swallow the pill, but lost the idea of resistance, in the face of the approaching pursuit of the army, they simply chose to surrender, and asked to write to the family to get the opportunity to redeem.

Arrived in the long song fortress four days later.

According to the information obtained by the interrogation of the surrender knights, the Nightingale easily disintegrates the troops of the castle left behind.The captain was killed on the spot, and more than a hundred militiamen dispersed as birds and beasts in panic, and then fell into the ambush circle set by the First Army at the gate.

Roland's men found the imprisoned Pero in the castle dungeon, and he seemed a little haggard, probably caused by worry and anxiety, but in view of the noble status of the Count of Honeysuckle, he was not subjected to inhuman treatment.

Nearly three months later, the prince saw the agent again.

"Your Highness, it is very good to see you," said Perot, who had been restless at last, and he had said it again, "the messengers who did not know Tifeko..."

“They are all dead,” Roland leaned back in his chair and said casually, “and most of the fifteen hundred they brought with them died at the town border, and the rest are currently in the fortress prison.”

When he heard the news of the destruction of the messengers, Perot seemed a little surprised, "Your Highness, if you do this, I am afraid the new king... No, your brother will see you as a thorn in your side."

“So I should take him away and return to the king’s house, and let him be at his mercy?”Roland’s eyes looked at each other.

The latter involuntarily bowed his head, “No, Your Highness...”

"From the moment he sent his troops to the west, he was already my enemy," said the prince quietly; "Tiffaco Wimbledon will only act more and more urgent in order to seize power, and he urgently needs the land and title to the nobles who support him."If it is only for pleasure, why should you govern this fortress for me?You should be well aware that it is only when I become the king of the forts that your position in the West can you be sure to enter the mountain.”He paused, then said, "In order to prevent this from happening again, I need to form an army to defend the fortress."

“The army?”Peel nodded.

“Yes, not the knights, but the army of civilians, full-time fighting.”Roland said slowly, "You have picked out a team of three hundred men from the fortress, and it is up to my men to train them how to fight."The demands of these three hundred people are that they must be civilians, not guilty of sin, not church believers, between the ages of sixteen and thirty, and physically undisturbed.During the training, they will live in the border town, and the weapons will be provided by me.Your knights and patrols will only be responsible for city policing in the future, and more details will be written on it,” he handed the other party a piece of parchment, “and you can post a notice, recruit and screen it as it is.”

If you want to control the city defense in your own hands, it is obviously the most appropriate way to station an army of your own.However, the number of the first army is too small, and it is not enough to defend the border town, not to mention the soldiers stationed in the long song fortress.So let the other party provide manpower, their own training is a compromise choice.

The nightingue's lie detector ability can ensure the purity of the team, and the training methods and ideological education of the new army can quickly form a combat force, equipped with weapons for the upcoming elimination of the front-loaded flange gun, even if it is seized by the enemy is not a problem.In addition, the army can also take on the task of information and intelligence transmission, as long as someone tries to attack the fortress, Roland can get the news in the first place.

“I understand.”Perot nodded.

“It makes no sense that you screen out, I will conduct a review and not try to insert an eyeliner into the line.”Roland warned, “The spies you sent before are now in the mines.”If something similar happens again...”

"No, Your Highness," said the other, smearing the sweat on his forehead, "I promise not to."

"Next is the church," said the prince, leaning back to his chair with satisfaction, "you probably don't know that the cathedral of the fortress was set on fire by Tifeko's men, and that the high priest of Tyroe was killed by them, and now there is only one ruin left."

“Did they burn the church?”Perot was stunned by the news, "This... I have to report back to Helmets."

Church law obliges kings and lords to protect local church facilities from encroachment, and if they are unable to prevent them, they should immediately report the news to the Holy City.It was also a normal reaction to the former ambassador, who was well versed in the law, and it was impossible to conceal such a thing, lest the devout believers in the fortress had sent the letter to the Holy City on the day of the incident.

"It is true that it should be reported, but the contents of the letter need to be adjusted appropriately," Roland said, "you only use the letter to indicate that the attackers were Tifeko Wimbledon's troops, who left the long song fortress shortly after looting and burning the church, and they did not know where to go."In addition, you attach this thing with the letter, "He took a pill out of his pocket and handed it to Pero," and said something that was found near the church, and they would understand it naturally.

“This is... what?”

“The secret medicine of the church is also Tifeko’s goal.It allows ordinary people to erupt into extraordinary power in a short period of time, but when the effect subsides, the user will slowly fail to die," Roland simply explained, "Tfeico wants to use this drug to strengthen the army and stabilize his precarious throne."When the church sees this pill, it will naturally understand his intentions.”

Whether it will take action or not, that is another matter.

“Follow me, Your Majesty.”Perot will be included in the bosom.(Unfinished.
