A week after the end of the submission day, the list of winners was posted on the bulletin board in front of the church.

Contrary to the residents' expectations, there was only one winner, and it was actually a prisoner named Hans.

After this, there were rumors that Lord Son of the Knights personally received the captive at the headquarters of the Knights. Just when everyone was wondering what exactly this guy named Hans had written. On the square in front of the church in Muxi Town, a large tent for theatrical performances was set up temporarily.

It took half a month to build the tent. For such a long period of time, a play with a robin as the script was also formally met with residents of Muxi Town in this tent.

That night, a total of 300 spectators came to the simple theater with 200 seats.

In the one-hour performance, people talk loudly at first, and gradually become lower as the plot develops, and finally turns into endless crying and sobbing.

Although the stage setting was simple and the props were arranged hurriedly, the tragic experience of the father and son in the Robin deeply touched the hearts of the audience and made these people sad.

In the next few days, Robin's stage play caused a sensation throughout Muxi Town. The performance venues were full, not to mention, there were even people from far away towns who rode in the carriage for a day and night, just to get a ticket.

As for the author of the script, Mr. Hans, he was thoroughly sought after as a star.

Todd not only distributed the rewards of the competition and the income from the performance according to the contract, but also specially allocated a certain amount of funds from the Muxi Mutual Grant to set up a studio for him to support his full-time writing.

Through this story contest, Muxi Town quietly made some changes.

First of all, people's views gradually broke the shackles of theological allusions and myths and legends, and took a big step towards the awakening of self-awareness and thinking changes.

Secondly, the success of Robin promoted the commercial development of Hedra. In Muxi Town, more and more businessmen saw this huge business opportunity. They held up the coins, looking for any possible success and script, which indirectly created the driving force for folk creation.

Finally, and most importantly. The demand for literacy in Muxi Town is getting bigger and bigger, driven by drama. For those who have financial conditions or have dreams to pursue, a new life path is written in front of them. If you want to write the ideas in your head, you must first learn the words. Driven by this motivation, and at the same time at Todd's initiative, free learning classes organized by monks and students have sprung up. People's high enthusiasm, coupled with a large number of textbooks printed by the printing press, has officially entered a wave of learning.

Of course, this is something later, let us turn our attention back to the Knights of Muxi here. After finishing the story contest, Todd began to focus on the military again.

After nearly three months of outward expansion and reorganization of prisoners, Todd held a military meeting at the headquarters of the Knights. The only people attending were Huggins, Cumberland, Alfonso, and Terry as an intelligence agent. Stan.

In the meeting, Hudgens first introduced the expansion results of the Twilight Knights: relying on the successor and explosive kits, the knights are invincible and invincible. Huggins took a total of eleven fiefs with his troops, transferred about 1,300 residents to Muxi Town, and obtained a wealth of about 130,000 silver moon. After many battles, the popularity of the Twilight Knights has greatly increased.

Then, Cumberland collected 229 prisoners, formed a cavalry company consisting of 25 standard lances, and a half-armored heavy infantry regiment. During this time, Alfonso took over the task of town defense from Huggins and conducted a new round of selection and training for the militia.

Finally, the deacon Tristan from the Papal Capital City shared the news recently learned from the church with the Knights of Twissy.

The first news is about the battle on the Eastern Front. The combined church forces of the Holy Acropolis and the Templar Knights, and the allied forces of Silver Ring City and the Barbarians, have been fighting for months. Among them, the biggest conflict occurred 20 days ago. The two sides deployed a total of 12,000 troops, and an encounter broke out at the mountain pass near the Watch Fort. After a day and a night of fierce battles, in terms of the damage ratio, although the church coalition forces are better than the confederate forces, the battle still ended with the church coalition's initiative to retreat.

The second news comes from the south. According to the information obtained by church missionaries, the sectarian disputes in the Fatima dynasty of the southern desert kingdom have gradually entered a fever under the political operation of Saladin, a prime minister of the kingdom. Those pagans who believe in God, always Civil war may break out.

The third news comes from the Papal State. After the Disaster of Truth, the First Heretic Inquisition collected a large amount of heretical evidence. Although the secular nobles in Tyrol City tried their best to prevent the trial from proceeding, the situation has become worse for the scholars and disciples who were arrested. It's getting more and more serious.

Regarding the first two things, Tristan's advice to the Knights of Twisie was only two words to wait and see the changes. But for the third thing, he appeared unusually anxious and anxious.

In the original view of the young deacon, the church had to consider the feelings of the secular kingdom when it used to judge the teachers and students of the academy. But to his surprise, the pope seemed determined to take the academy's people. In the final analysis, this is not so much a trial of truth as it is a beating and threat to secular forces.

After comforting Tristan's mood, Todd began to discuss the strategic direction for the future with the military cadres of the Knights of Twilight.

Huggins suggested that while the Eastern Front is attracting the main force of the enemy, superior forces should be gathered, the territory controlled by the Knights should be expanded as soon as possible, and as much population and wealth as possible.

Alfonso hopes to complete the reorganization of troops as early as possible, and separate an army to be stationed in the fortress east of Muxi Town for regional defense. The reason for this is that most of the industrial, livestock and residential areas of Muxi Town have been moved out. If the enemy uses high-mobility forces to destroy and looting, the loss of Muxi Town will be incalculable.

Todd nodded after hearing the speeches of these two people, only to find that the old knight hadn't said a word yet.

Cumberland heard the commander's question, and after stroking his beard, he expressed his opinion.

In his view, expanding territory as soon as possible, acquiring population and wealth, and shifting defense forces to the east are all correct strategic directions. But Muxi Town currently has a strategic weakness that has been close to defenselessness, and that is the military encroachment from the North Sea.

Although Muxi Town has set up an observation post on Whitewater Island, this passive defense method will not only occupy a considerable part of the military resources of the Knights, but will also bring great constraints to the coastal military planning of Muxi Town. Therefore, how to eliminate or reduce the threat of the enemy in the north is the most important task of the Twilight Knights at the moment.

Todd agrees very much with Cumberland's analysis ~lightnovelpub.net~ But his perspective on this issue is different from that of the old knight.

Cumberland analyzed how to stop the enemy's attack from the defense loopholes in Muxi Town, while Todd analyzed the future development of Muxi Town to analyze how the town should integrate with the outside world.

Muxi Town is now in a very embarrassing situation. Its agriculture, animal husbandry, handicrafts and industries are on the rise, but there is only one domestic demand for the digestion of products in these industries. The merchants in the town have not thought about selling their products to other towns, but all the commercial routes seem to be very difficult: to the north, it is the Falling Star Mountain Range, and the caravan wants to reach the northern border unless it can grow up. Wings to the east are turmoil and war. The caravan has no way to safely pass through that piece of land to the south. The road is far away, the road conditions are bad, the lack of supply points, and the layers of checkpoints have to pass through. This route is unrealistic.

After all, the only convenient trade route is the sea on the west.

But when it comes to maritime trade routes, Muxi Town has encountered two big problems: one is the backward technology of ship building and the other is that the sea channel is vulnerable to pirate attacks.

Thinking about it this way, the next focus of the Knights' attack should indeed be placed on the alliance between the North Island pirates and the barbarians. (https://)
