Chapter 428 Chapter 426: Patrolling the Territory (Subscription Request)
You have to admit that any story has highs and lows.
Where there is content that is so exciting that it is difficult to control oneself, there will be dull passages.
Just like this war between the Empire and the Allied Forces, after the fierce fighting of the Battle of the Marne, it fell into a brief period of calm.
Even if the Empire urged them to break through the defenses again and advance, the sacrifice of elite soldiers, the loss of grassroots command, and even the death of high-level combat power and the frequent use of trump cards...
It makes everyone fall into a period of fatigue!
The empire needs to be cultivated, and so does the coalition.
They may have had artillery bombardments and hand-to-hand combat on the border and in trench warfare, but the fighting was not fierce.
Instead, it gives people a feeling of just getting the job done.
Luo Yi took advantage of this period of time to complete a territory inspection.
This was what Count Carl Raymond used to do every year, traveling between different towns, inspecting industries and dealing with problems.
At such times, he even allowed civilians to submit complaints or lawsuits to him and he would make the final ruling.
This is a very effective way to deter vassals and grassroots managers, and it also ensures fairness and justice to a certain extent.
The great earl was high above everyone else, and when he was willing to listen to the voices of the common people, even the so-called nobles would tremble in fear.
Of course, Luo Yi doesn't like to use this method.
Pure personal efforts and fairness are not true fairness, and there is no way to achieve it.
A better and more complete supervisory system is what a regime must have.
However, after this war, he still needs to see his territory and various industries with his own eyes in order to give the most accurate assessment and formulate subsequent plans.
The industrial zone and the new town are the first stops.
Afterwards, Luo Yi took a group of people and began to patrol along the railway.
The main railway line of Xianhua Territory has been completed. From east to west and from south to north, the double-track railway has already connected the entire territory into a whole.
Nowadays, it’s more about patching up, adding new lines when local capacity shortages become apparent, and expanding branch lines…
This marks the end of the entire railway project.
After all, Flower Territory is just an earldom, and the terrain is relatively flat, so building a railway is not difficult.
On the contrary, the construction of hardened roads for land transportation has lagged behind.
Luo Yi has a plan and has allocated funds, but the time is too short and not much effect has been seen yet.
After leaving the railway line, Luo Yi went to the mine in the Dome Mountains.
Here, most of the metal raw materials needed for production are provided, especially iron ore, wilderness stones consumed by the magic energy pool, etc.
It can be said that this is the location of the most important resources in Flower Territory, and it cannot be overemphasized.
However, the safety here is not in the mine, but in Griffin Town.
It was here that Roy hosted a banquet for Grand Duke Karen of the vampire clan and his family.
There are not many people in the Karen family. Apart from Grand Duke Karen’s wife, there are only three children and their spouses, as well as two blood descendants living here.
But their strength is not weak. Except for the three vampire marquises, everyone else has special vampire abilities.
Their actual combat capability is far beyond what is seen on the surface. Obviously, there is something special about this ancient vegetarian family that has been able to be passed down to this day.
It is worth mentioning that when the two sides were feasting, only one descendant of Grand Duke Karen did not show up.
He is actually the most powerful of all the vampire marquises. After obtaining the drop of ancestor's blood, he has been trying to break through.
If he succeeds, the Cullen family will have two legends and will be able to be more at ease.
However, that is a breakthrough in the legend. Even if you are well prepared, it is difficult to say whether it will succeed or fail!
At the cocktail party, both the host and the guests had a great time. Although it seemed that nothing was said, the invisible tacit understanding between them deepened a bit.
However, when leaving, Luo Yi seemed to have remembered something, and his expression was somewhat strange.
If the thousands of people in Griffin Town knew that the people secretly protecting them were actually a group of bloodthirsty vampires, how would they feel?
Next stop, Luo Yi went to the newly built military camp and inspected the First Guard Corps of the Flower Territory.
The military system in this world is actually very chaotic!
The main reason is that the ancient knight system has not yet completely withdrawn from the stage of history, and the new professional legion has just come on the stage not long ago, so everything is still uncertain.
Therefore, one thousand knights can be a legion, and three thousand warriors can also call themselves a legion.
Each of the empire's legions is composed of more than 100,000 elite soldiers. Although they are called legions, they are actually armies.
Each army group of the empire is composed of three or four main combat infantry divisions, and is also equipped with artillery battalions, engineering battalions, medical battalions, mage corps, priest corps, logistics support forces and other institutions.
Each independent legion can stand on its own and can destroy a country.
This is getting off topic. The First Guard Corps of Flower Territory has only a little over 3,000 men, which is no match for the Empire's army.
But if we exclude the disadvantage in numbers, other aspects, from manpower to weapons, from training to magic power, from equipment to artillery formations...
They are even worse than that.
The strength of the remaining legions of the empire is just so-so, and only the first and second legions are taken seriously by Luo Yi.
The training of these people is compared with that of these veterans. In terms of tactics, they are actually not inferior at all.
The only shortcoming is combat experience.
Having not experienced the baptism of blood and fire, they are still a little lacking. However, Luo Yi also has a solution.
When it comes to going to the battlefield, he just needs to activate the [Lion King], block out all negative emotions, fill his heart with courage, and he will definitely be able to kill everyone.
Luo Yi stayed here for several days. He trained and ate with the soldiers, listened to their concerns, and solved their problems.
He also gathered grassroots cadres together and explained cases to them in light of the wars that had already occurred.
As for several commanders including Alfonso, he directly laid out a series of wars in several major empires, and told them in detail the causes, processes, results and things that needed attention!
Many times, cases that combine this with reality can be the most touching and can make people feel more involved and gain more insights.
A few days later, when Luo Yi left, the soldiers of the Royal Guards had already spontaneously seen him off.
It also made Luo Yi feel that he, the lord, was competent and had won the hearts of the people.
No matter what, the warriors here are the cornerstone of his rule.
Later, Luo Yi went to the easternmost part, Frost Moon Canyon.
The aftermath of the great war can no longer be seen here. The castle has been repaired and the latest field artillery has been placed in key locations.
It can be said that at this time, the Frost Moon Canyon is a place where one man can block the way for ten thousand men, unless an extremely strong man comes to the fortress.
Otherwise, no matter how many people come, they will all die under the artillery fire.
After leaving Frostmoon Canyon, Loy went to Sunset Town, Ferro Town where he had lived in his childhood, the largest perfume workshop in Flower Territory, and the magic potion plantation.
Let’s not talk about all these for now. His last stop was Siren Port!
It should be said that at this point in the war, there is no safe port in the entire Silver Sea.
Whether you belong to the Empire or the Allied Forces, you may be attacked.
Pirates, sea tribes, the Imperial Navy, Sardinian warships...
There will always be a party that is hostile to you and will try every means to attack you.
Except, Siren Harbor!
The cruising of magic warships made pirates afraid to rob the ships of the Lion Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Siren Tribe did not show up, they were still protecting the merchant ships.
The fact that the Raymond family is close to the empire is almost known to everyone.
Not to mention causing trouble for the Imperial Navy, they will have to find a way to protect themselves if they encounter one.
As for the coalition forces, there was once an arrogant warship that wanted to rob, but unfortunately, what they robbed were the weapons and bullets that the coalition forces wanted.
And then, nothing happened!
From then on, no matter how chaotic the Silver Sea became, no one dared to touch the merchant ships of the Lion Chamber of Commerce.
Rumors from the outside world spread everywhere, portraying Loy, the illegitimate earl, as having connections everywhere.
But no matter what, the problem of the merchant ship attack was resolved, and Siren Port also benefited greatly.
There are so many ships coming and going every day that looking south from Siren Harbor, it is dusty and noisy.
Yes, there is construction going on there too!
The empire felt the speed was too slow, so it sent special personnel to supervise the construction in order to expand the port to the greatest extent possible and increase cargo throughput.
To be honest, after taking a look around, Luo Yi was quite satisfied.
There are definitely problems, but the vitality and prosperity of the entire territory are also obvious.
He believed that if they continued to live in such peace and stability, the development and growth of Flower Territory would be a matter of time.
Returning to Brussels, Luo Yi went to the fifth floor of the Mage Tower again.
In Mrs. Linda's laboratory, he saw a half-finished magic tank, the first generation of the king of land combat.
Well, it’s still a half-finished shell!
It looks okay on the outside, but the magic energy control system inside needs further processing and correction.
This is the last resort, no rush, no rush!
This is what Luo Yi thought and believed. After inspecting the territory and making some arrangements, he felt that he could take a rest.
As a human being, you have been working hard for so long, can’t you enjoy yourself?
But before he could relax his tense nerves, more news came.
This time it was a letter from the Siren King Alexios, who begged for Loy's help.
Update, update, I’m so sleepy!
