In order to meet the needs of resisting the enemy, he found a relatively flat place in the south near the border of the Stone Territory for the coalition forces to set up camp.
After the meeting, Roning rode on his Cloud-stepping horse and left Stone Castle with Redal and others and arrived at the camp.
"Sir, as you requested, the commander's tent will be set up at the very back. I have arranged for people to guard the hillside beyond that."
Joffrey brought Ronin to the outside of the "Central Army Tent" and introduced the surrounding layout.
The former chief of the savage tribe is very satisfied with his current situation and job.
He knew that among all of Ronin's followers, Redar, McKen and Elrond were definitely in the top tier and no one could shake them; and he also knew that as long as he did his job with all his heart and soul, he would be able to enter the second tier among other followers.
Now that the Ubei Territory is thriving and the lord's status is becoming increasingly noble, this gives Joffrey greater motivation.
He had been thinking about making great achievements when he was the leader of the savage tribe, and now is the best opportunity.
Roning took a look at the tent. The supplies that Galil had arranged were indeed good. The tent was much larger than his own, and was like a small room.
The big tent is backed by a hillside, which is guarded by infantrymen, and no one else will approach here.
To outsiders, Ronin seemed a little too cautious, but he did this mainly to facilitate Carlos's landing.
"Come in, everyone."
Roning called in twelve extraordinary people including Redal and held a small meeting for the Wubei leader.
The meeting clarified the goal of this operation - to capture Chishan Town and win the first iron ore resource for Wubei Territory.
In addition, Ronin also emphasized that this war was a good learning opportunity.
The twelve knights who followed him into battle this time may become captains, group leaders, governors, etc. in the future. Ronin needs them to watch and learn more.
How to handle reconnaissance, defense, logistics and even camp hygiene and what problems may be encountered, no matter how big or small, require careful attention.
Roning handed over the specific affairs and personnel to Ridar to arrange and assign. He would hold an exchange meeting after announcing the end of the war, where everyone would need to express their gains and experiences before leaving the tent.
"Fortunately, the adults didn't ask us to write an experience review."
David breathed a sigh of relief. He did learn some writing from Irene, but it was not enough for him to write an article, and his handwriting was particularly ugly.
Not only David, but also Tom, Baburin, Thomas, and even Joffrey are a bit in trouble.
Ridar smiled and said, "It's harder to ask you to write two more words when you have time than to ask you to swing the sword a thousand times. Don't let the adults ask you to write something and you can't write it."
After leaving the big tent, Ronin went up the hillside behind alone and called Carlos over.
Chishan Town has been blocked by the Polante Bandits. During the war, no one can enter from the direction of Jushiling.
Roning originally wanted to ask Corian for a map of Chishan Town, but the other party told him that there was no such thing and promised to draw one within a day.
This is fast, but don't expect too much detail and accuracy in the map.
"I don't know if this Corian really doesn't have a map, or if he has one but is deliberately not giving it to me."
It is hard to imagine that a person in charge of guarding the border did not even make a map. This can be considered a dereliction of duty.
Moreover, on the other person's face, Ronin did not see any regret or self-blame that he should have shown for the death of the Fifth Knights and Sir Hahn.
"I don't know why the position of leader of the Fifth Knights was given to Corrin in the first place."
Luo Ning was a little confused.
Fortunately, maps are not the only way to observe the terrain. With Carlos here, these are not a problem.
Following his call, Carlos, who was already in the nearby wilderness, quickly landed on the top of the mountain.
"Be careful to maintain the effect of light bending and refraction, and don't go too fast."
Luo Ning warned: "Try to avoid the crowds. There are knights of the same level as you in Chishan Town."
"Don't worry, Master. As long as I stay at an altitude of thirty to fifty meters, they won't be able to find me!"
Carlos was very skilled in using the light bending and shadow magic, and his coordination with speed was very arbitrary, so it was indeed a bit difficult to detect.
Roning took a look at the other party's level progress, which was currently at (16/12500), an increase, but not much.
Not to mention waiting for a dragon to reach adulthood, even waiting for it to level up on its own is difficult.
Sitting on the dragon's back, Luo Ning soon arrived above Chishan Town. Without much thought, he could see the cave-like Chishan Iron Mine at a glance.
At this moment, hundreds of miners are working hard.
To call them miners is a bit of an overstatement. In reality, they were just a group of enslaved people. The supervisors wielded whips in their hands and would hit anyone they disliked.
Roning saw the bodies of miners piled up at the edge of the mine. There were at least half a hundred of them, if not a hundred.
"In order to obtain enough iron ore, this group of people probably brought all the residents of the town here."
Carlos continued to fly south, and Ronin saw carriages moving on the road, pulling the mined iron ore to the town of Cassiel in the south.
From this, we can also see that one of the purposes of the Polanta bandit group's capture of Chishan Town was probably this mine.
But when he saw the terrain connecting Chishan Town to Kasir Town, he was stunned.
This is a road that is a hundred meters long and only a dozen meters wide, sandwiched between two valleys. Looking from the sky, it looks like a sword splitting a mountain, and it is extremely dangerous.
The long and narrow passage and the steep mountains make it impossible for the enemy to pass through here easily.
Moreover, Roning noticed that there were a lot of stones piled on the peaks of the mountains on both sides of the passage, which were obviously rolling stones used for defense.
"How did Hahn's five knight squads lose despite having such an advantageous position?"
Luo Ning was very puzzled.
"Corrin said that Hahn was drunk that night and neglected his defense, which allowed the opponent to take advantage of him, but this is too coincidental."
"Besides, even if they drink, it's impossible for everyone to drink. As long as a small team of knights guard this place, they can hold out for quite some time."
He suddenly grasped some information and frowned.
"Is there any problem with this Corrine?"
All along, he never doubted Coreyon, but subconsciously thought that the other party was eager to attack because he wanted to atone for his sins.
As for arranging for the Stone Lord to be responsible for logistics, it was not as Corian suspected, but Roning really felt that it would be more appropriate to let the other party handle this matter.
"Besides, facing the possibility of war breaking out at any time, would Hahn really be so stupid?"
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will soon take root and sprout.
Once this thought came to mind, it became uncontrollable.
If there really is something wrong with this Corrine...
Thinking of this, Luo Ning felt a chill on his back. (End of this chapter)
