Chapter 422: Rand's view of Lysa, Rand's view of Lysa (5000!!!)
Today is a warm spring day.
A lot of the snow from winter has melted away with the passage of spring.
Rand is training soldiers to use the vibration transmission device.
In short, it's a bit like a portable wireless telegraph.
It just uses vibration to transmit messages.
The communication method is single, and the stability has improved from poor to medium now that technology has improved.
As for the communication distance...
There's no comparison.
Wireless telegraphs can transmit messages across oceans, and vibration transmission devices can transmit signals stably within the core territory of Rand, but that's pretty much the limit.
Signal switching technology is also under development.
Overall, there are many disadvantages.
However, the advantages are also huge.
The technology is here at Rand, it's unique, and the technical consultant is Lisa.
Subsequent manufacturing will certainly be strictly managed.
Rand will certainly pay attention to core technologies and ensure that they are not stolen by outsiders.
And because of technological monopoly.
It will not be monitored or interfered with.
At least not at this stage.
It is more than enough to be used in the army and is sufficient to meet Rand's ruling needs.
If used for communication within the territory, as an efficient alarm system, it should be much more reliable than smoke signals.
This will greatly increase the security of the territory.
Back then, when he had just become earl, the village was massacred by utilitarian paladins, and a tauren missionary was also killed.
Rand still feels a little resentful about it.
Now, with the upgraded version of the vibration communication device, Rand's response speed to territory threats will be countless times faster.
Rand's eyes swept across the parade grounds.
He nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, that's all for today, you can rest now."
Rand left the parade grounds.
Then he took Olenna to the restaurant area and met Vanilla.
After seeing Rand, Vanilla asked, "Well, Lady Elsa said a few days ago that she would come to the school to inspect the safety work, but she has not been seen in the past few days."
Olenna covered her mouth and laughed.
Rand said helplessly: "She has been sick these days, but she will recover soon."
Vanilla nodded.
For a strong person like Elsa, illness is something that must be taken seriously.
But when Vanilla saw that Olenna and Rand didn't look worried, she knew nothing was wrong.
So I didn't ask any more questions.
The afternoon work is still to conduct training on the vibration communication device.
This kind of work can actually be assigned to Taner, but Rand himself also needs to practice using the vibration communication device to issue orders.
So we just trained together.
It was night.
Today is Lysa time.
White-haired Lysa sat on a stool in the basement, shaking her slender but powerful legs.
The pair of eyes, as dazzling as gold, complemented the candlelight.
She also made herself a fox suit.
Lisa is not as shy as Karin. Although she will not directly admit that she is a pervert, her actions are still very generous.
He wore fox ears on his head and a fox tail behind him.
Soon, Rand opened the basement door and went down the stairs.
The basement was filled with iron chains and various torture instruments.
It should have looked scary in the candlelight, but it wasn't.
All the utensils are very clean, and Lisa will clean them carefully after use. She is a person who likes cleanliness very much.
And that is, Lisa is in the basement, like a moonflower blooming in the darkness.
But beneath this breathtaking beauty lies a perverted heart.
Seeing Rand coming, Lisa, who was swinging her legs out of boredom, blinked.
Rand always had a lot of wonderful ideas that she had never seen before.
Rand found a seat and sat down. This seat was where Karin sat most often, so it had been cleaned many times by Karin and looked a little worn.
"Something happened." Rand said.
Lisa was a little disappointed to hear that it seemed to be a serious matter.
He tilted his head and waited for Rand's next words.
"Vanilla's teacher recently came to see Vanilla. He is the top elven wizard." Rand said.
The last time the Wind Chime team came to try to rescue, Vanilla told Rand that she was from the elven royal family.
But Vanilla also said that she was a very remote branch, so Rand didn't care too much.
It seems that vanilla is still more valued now.
In other words, what Rand wanted to see was that the elves would keep sending people to rescue.
Rand here! Very short of elves!
In order to cope with this, Rand still plans to learn more about the elves from Lysa.
Although, Lisa never talked about her identity in the Elf Forest, or never admitted that she was from the Elf Forest.
Lysa never tells her origins.
But Lisa's own abilities, strength, and appearance already speak for themselves.
Rand didn't understand the meaning of the ancient elves, nor did he know if Lysa was born this way.
But Rand was sure that Lysa must know a lot.
"What do you think the Elf Forest is like?" Rand asked.
Lysa sighed, a rare sigh, and then looked directly into Rand's eyes. Golden eyes, arrogant, noble, and seemed to know everything: "It is a dead tree. There is no future for it."
At least relying on the elves themselves, there is no possibility of obtaining a future, a place that is always stubborn, always conservative, as if time has stopped and remains unchanged forever.
Lisa was certain that one day, the World Tree of the Elves would no longer be able to protect them.
At that time, the elf race will be destroyed.
The human kingdom never really liked the elves.
In the end, the elves will either become slaves or simply become extinct.
The gap between elves and humans will only grow wider.
Because humans are constantly improving.
And Rand, Rand gave Lysa a new hope.
Rand can tolerate minotaurs, centaurs, and half-elves.
Rand even planned to go to the mountain country on the other side of the ocean to recruit a dwarf as engineering director.
Then Rand would surely be willing to tolerate the elves.
There are already many elves working under Rand now, aren't there?
In the future, it will be Rand who will break through the Elven Forest's defenses...
At least in Lisa's eyes, this would definitely be countless times better than the elves being destroyed by other human kingdoms because of their complacency.
"Dead tree..." Rand didn't ask any more questions after getting the answer.
It seems that Lysa doesn't have a very good sense of the Elf Forest.
And if there is something that really needs attention, Lisa will definitely tell you, there is no rush now.
"Hehehe." Rand grabbed Lysa's seemingly fragile wrist.
Then he turned on the switch of the fox suit's energy pulse.
Then he blindfolded Lisa.
Rand made a crown for Lysa based on Karin's.
And when a person loses their sight, their other senses become more acute.
Next up is Ryza’s pure dungeon experience.
…
After spending half a spring peacefully in the territory.
Rand received the battle report.
High-level meetings resumed.
In the meeting room of the upper den.
Rand took out the battle report.
"The latest battle report." Rand read out the report himself.
"The Kingdom of Bolun could not withstand the attack of the undead and requested reinforcements from the Kingdom of Lensa. After the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Lensa arrived..."
King Boren personally led a part of the elite troops and reinforcements from the Kingdom of Lensa to defend the line, while the rest of the exhausted soldiers who were close to collapse returned to the kingdom to rest.
And take advantage of this gap.
The former Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Borun led the nobles of the Kingdom of Borun to build a second line of defense.
The offensive of the undead was beyond the imagination of the reinforcements of Lunsa, and their commander was also the second prince of the Kingdom of Lunsa, not the Countess of Snow Fox.
The battle was so brutal.
After the first line of defense was breached, the seriously injured King of Bolen, along with the second prince of Lensa and a small number of defeated soldiers of Lensa, retreated to the second line of defense.
Although the undead broke through the defense line, the losses were huge.
The lowest level undead are not counted as a loss. With the Obsidian Tower, we can pull them back up no matter how many die.
However, the loss of high-level undead, such as Death Knight, Banshee, or Meat Mountain, cannot be easily replenished.
And the Scourge believers also suffered a lot of losses.
There are also several bishops of natural disasters among them.
In short, looking at these battle reports, in Rand's eyes, it was a tragic victory for the City of the Dead.
According to Rand's understanding, if they gather the human army together and attack the City of the Dead, they can completely destroy the Scourge.
But this is obviously impossible.
Rand was well aware of this.
So the next question is...
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The second line of defense of the Kingdom of Bolen was built in a hurry." Rand marked the area of the second line of defense on the map.
The battle report was very detailed because Rand had long regarded the Kingdom of Bolen and the Kingdom of Lensa as imaginary enemies.
A lot of traitors were planted.
The higher-ups in the hideout, especially Taner and Fenris, looked at the map carefully.
"This line of defense is probably the most that the Kingdom of Borun can do under such circumstances." Rand also looked at the map. "This can preserve most of the core territory of the Kingdom of Borun, but a considerable part will still fall into the hands of the undead."
"The most critical issue is," Rand paused, then said, "If the Kingdom of Boren does this, it will not be able to fully serve as a barrier to block the undead for us."
If the second line of defense of the Borun Kingdom is like this, the undead can cross the Borun Kingdom and attack the Frost Moon Kingdom.
The land closest to the Kingdom of Bolen is Rand, the Duke of the Moon.
The undead would not necessarily choose to attack the Duchy of the Moon Phase. After all, Rand was sure that the undead were afraid of Karin, who might be in the Frost Moon Kingdom.
It is now well known that the fledgling sect of the Torch Church is developing in the North.
It’s just that now, on the surface, the leader of the Novice Faction is Bishop Kahn, not Karin.
Karin has not revealed her identity yet.
Now, Rand also needs to defend himself against the undead to a certain extent.
"Sir, what is the next strategy?" Taner asked.
"React quickly," Rand said, "and act violently."
"If the undead launch a tentative attack on us, we must quickly put out the disaster of the undead to let them realize that we are not easy to mess with."
Tanr and Fenris both nodded.
Rand's strategy was appropriate.
Now the undead may attack anyone. They may continue to attack the Kingdom of Bolen, or they may attack the Kingdom of Lensa, and of course they may also attack the Kingdom of Frostmoon.
This is an issue that must be taken seriously.
Otherwise, the Undead Army would choose the Frost Moon Kingdom as its next main attack direction.
Rand can certainly get support from the country, and Marcus will certainly not sit idly by and watch the Duke of the Moon Phase, but he will suffer losses in the end.
Theoretically, the undead have suffered heavy losses, but compared to the Dukedom of the Moon, their army is still very powerful.
"Okay, we must take the matter of the undead seriously. Let's adjourn the meeting," Rand said.
The meeting ended quickly.
Rand's next plan is to go to Crescent Moon Harbor.
Although we need to be prepared for the problem of the undead.
But Rand does not intend to stop his development because of the undead.
Today, the second large ship is to be built in Crescent Moon Harbor, and Rand is going to inspect it. In addition, the recruitment of engineering masters to the mountain country in the south needs to be started.
Ayesha already has a lot of work to do, and alchemy and engineering really need to be separated.
Ayesha herself is not very good at engineering.
It would be better to let her concentrate on alchemy.
She has many research topics, not just the Photo Crystal that needs Ayesha to lead the research.
…
After riding on the Centaur carriage for about half a day, we arrived at Crescent Moon Harbor.
The Centaur Chariot has evolved! Originally, the Centaur Chariot was a standard chariot, with different Centaurs pulling the same chariot.
And now, there are two branches of the Centaur carriage.
Ad branches and feature branches.
Some centaurs are very interested in decorating their chariots and are quite talented at it.
After some minor decorations that will not bother the passengers, the Centaur carriage will look different.
There are also some centaurs who are not very interested in modifying the carriages, so the carriages are modified uniformly by the hideout.
Some advertisements for the hideouts were installed in some places on the carriage that would not affect the passengers.
At the same time, the carriage advertisements at the hideout must also be aesthetically pleasing.
Otherwise, it would affect business and be putting the cart before the horse.
Now, different Centaurs have pulled different Centaur Carriages.
Now it has become a bit of a scenic spot in the Dukedom of the Moon Phase.
However, Rand did not assign the Centaurs the task of promoting advertising, because if you put yourself in their shoes, it would be okay to watch advertisements while riding in a carriage, but it would be a bit unpleasant to be advertised by others.
Rand gave the centaur a tip and got off the carriage.
Ellie, Olenna, and Elsa, who were traveling with them, also got off the carriage.
Elsa's physique is indeed strong. After that interaction, she "resurrected" immediately after just a few days of rest.
All I can say is that the top-level physique is so terrifying.
With the completion of the construction of the port and shipyard, Crescent Moon Port has become completely prosperous.
The port was built by the sea, with a wide bay and sparkling waters dotted with numerous large and small ships. The sea breeze blew with the smell of salt and fish, mixed with the fragrance of the wood of the cargo boxes on the dock and the aroma of bread and grilled fish from the tavern in the distance.
The docks were lined with solid stone berths, and workers were busy moving cargo.
Now Rand has only opened one route, which is to the Ice Sea Kingdom.
The Ice Sea Kingdom is a barbaric pirate nation.
I am very familiar with sailing.
Now, Rand will sell some high-end goods from the hideout to the Ice Sea Kingdom.
As for the bricks.
The Ice Sea Kingdom does need bricks to build houses and rebuild the royal city, but if the ocean is too far away, the cost will be very high.
Sailing now is risky because the hegemony of the nearby oceans is still in the hands of the Kingdom of Bollen.
If ocean-going merchant ships encounter the fleet of the Kingdom of Bollen, they may be in danger.
Only after Rand gains maritime hegemony can it dump cheap consumer goods or simply processed products.
Nowadays, they are basically all high value-added products.
The cargo in Crescent Moon Harbor now is basically herbs, jewelry, some magic materials, and materials from the ruins from the Ice Sea Kingdom.
The rest is fresh fish brought back by fishing boats.
The streets are bustling and bustling, with shops lined up one after another, and colorful signs hanging on the doors, indicating the rare items they sell. Some are musical instruments carved from rare woods, some are dazzling jewelry and exotic herbs.
Now there are many travelers coming to Crescent Moon Port by land.
Come here specifically for the fresh fish.
The Frost Moon Kingdom is a landlocked country, and only Rand has a coastline.
So much so that the nobles of the Frost Moon Kingdom are very interested in marine fish.
And tourists from other countries.
There are also many interested.
That's because Rand, the king of food, took the lead.
The food culture of the Dukedom of the Moon.
Anyone with a little knowledge in this territory knows that the great, wise, and brave Grand Duke Lander loves delicious food.
Therefore, the food industry in the Dukedom of the Moon is prosperous.
There have been a lot of studies on how to cook marine fish.
As a result, the fresh fish restaurants in Crescent Moon Harbor are doing very good business, to the point where there are long queues every day.
A tall clock tower stands in the central square of the port, with its metal hands glittering in the sunlight. Craftsmen and artists gather at the edge of the square, with clowns making the children around laugh with their funny actions, painters depicting passing ships on their drawing boards, and bards playing their harps to tell the adventure stories of heroes.
After nightfall, the lighthouse on high ground will light a brazier to point the direction for ships and quietly guard the ships coming from afar.
But it's daytime now and I can't see it.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony ended quickly.
The majestic iron ship went to sea.
Next, Rand planned to suspend the construction of iron ships because the cost was too high. Even if only a thin layer of iron was sandwiched in the interlayer, the entire ship still consumed a lot of iron.
And that's enough.
With these two iron ships as flagships, and by purchasing or building some wooden ships ourselves, we can form a fleet and go on ocean voyages.
Rand's next target is the mountainous country on the other side of the inland sea.
There is a country founded by dwarves.
Rand found Haibei, the leader of the Naga tribe who arrived earlier and had been working in Crescent Moon Harbor for a long time.
Haibei looked at Rand in awe.
This human conquered them and now has become the Grand Duke of the human world.
Will this human's next step be to conquer the entire Inner Sea and all the Naga tribes? Rand asked, "Do you Naga tribe have a sea chart? I want to sail to the mountain country in the south and need a sea chart."
Haibei responded: "Lord Rand, there are some rough ones, please let me tell you."
