Chapter 228 On the Eve of War (Please subscribe!)
Time!
What Idar County lacks most now is time, and what it needs most is also time!
The construction of Stonehenge is just in its initial stage, and the magic transmission line has only completed the route planning, so... the production of magic cannons and magic crystal bombs is still difficult to directly enter the mass production stage under the current circumstances.
Therefore, production can only rely on the hard-working apprentices who have just joined the Idar School to work day and night by hand.
But once a war breaks out, the consumption of artillery shells and explosives will increase dramatically. Although Bruno has been working to increase the ammunition inventory in Idar Territory, but...
In the final analysis, this was a small noble territory trying to resist the attack of a sovereign state.
Therefore, the more "gifts" that Idar prepares for the Odin people, the better!
"Lord Bruno said that now is a critical moment concerning the survival of Idar. If we fail in this battle, all our previous efforts will be in vain. Therefore, there is no need for us to hide it anymore!"
"In the next two days, a large number of Idar citizens who have volunteered will enter the Almis Mountains to build magic transmission lines and a sufficient number of stone circles with us! We must and must put Idar's magic cannons and magic crystal bombs into mass production before the end of winter, so that Idar will have an unparalleled firepower advantage!"
Arnell looked into White Barrell's eyes and said in a deep voice.
"I see!"
White Barrell was fully aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He nodded and answered seriously.
…
Idar Territory in winter is as hot as in summer.
Now the Odin people, who are far away in the Sogn Plain, are like the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of Lord Idal. They may bring great threat to Lord Idal at any time, making people unable to sleep or eat.
So much so that Bruno had to divert his attention by eating.
Of course, at the same time, Bruno led his guards to appear in every corner of Idar Territory almost every day, encouraging the soldiers' training morale, testing the people's labor results, and instilling in the people the belief that Idar Territory must win! After all...if Bruno, the supreme ruler of Idar Territory, cannot show his determination to win, then how can others have confidence in the upcoming war? Despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically.
Even though the Odin people's covetous eyes brought Bruno a lot of pressure, the Idar Lord, who possessed many advanced weapons and equipment, was not a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied.
Idar Territory is like a hedgehog that looks harmless but is covered with thorns. Anyone who tries to reach out will be stabbed! Simply patrolling is quite boring for Bruno, so sometimes he will even personally prepare a hearty lunch for the people with delicious ingredients.
The Earl appeared in person at the construction site and even cooked for the people!
Perhaps for Bruno, this was just a matter of cooking a meal out of itchy hands, and showing his care for the lowest class of people, but for the ordinary people in Idar County, this was an unprecedented thing!
If this happened in other noble territories, the masters would never even look at me. But in Idar Territory, I actually... I actually...
The civilians, who had worked hard for most of the day, carefully tasted the food prepared by the Earl himself. Their eyes could not help but become moist. It smelled... really smelled good! "It tastes great!" exclaimed a civilian with tears in his eyes.
That’s right!
This is Idar Territory, a place worth protecting with one's life! Bruno's arrival and actions undoubtedly gave the civilians a shot of adrenaline. Even the distinguished Earl came in person, so what reason do they have not to work hard, fight, and struggle? So...
Bruno has almost become a mobile encouragement machine. Whenever he comes to a construction site or a place, the people's work efficiency will be greatly improved!
Due to the urgent need for a large number of manpower to build a large number of stone circles, Bruno has ordered the original plan to send boatloads of refugees to the Fran Islands to be stopped. All Idar people and all the refugees who have just entered Idar territory must contribute their own efforts to the construction of Idar territory in winter.
A large number of civilians voluntarily walked into the Almis Mountains. Under the protection of the Idar Army soldiers and under the command of the engineers, they spontaneously formed temporary engineering teams one after another.
They braved the cold winter wind and built huge stone circles between the rugged mountains, and connected magic crystal wires around the stone circles.
Even the majestic Almis Mountains cannot stop the hardworking Idar people!
In this winter, the Almis Mountains have become a super-large construction site. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the figures of Idar people can be seen everywhere.
Moreover, with Bruno's deliberate propaganda, the people of Idar County have already known what a huge plan they are participating in - to introduce the energy stored deep in the Almis Mountains to every corner of Idar County, allowing Idar County to transform into the world's first aristocratic county to enter the era of magic industrialization!
Bruno no longer had to hide the magic well deep in the Almis Mountains, because if they could not defeat Odin's cavalry, then everything in Idar would turn to dust.
And once they can successfully resist the invasion of the Odin people, then in this world, the Idar Lord will not be afraid of provocations from any force. At least... the Idar Lord will be able to become the strongest military force in the eastern part of the empire and be able to protect itself!
The civilians did not know what magic industrialization was, but through the explanation of the Idar officials and some understanding of magic industrialization, they had already understood that magic industrialization could help them stop Odin's cavalry north of the Sauron River, and even allow the Idar people to have the power to crush any other forces in the future! And this is exactly what all Idar people are looking forward to! Under the protection of the Idar Army, the people of Idar worked hard in the Almis Mountains.
At the same time, in the northernmost part of Idar Territory, a hot air balloon belonging to the Idar Air Force was already floating in the azure sky...
