The study was very quiet, and Alan was the only one left at this time. This was originally a room dedicated to Jodak, but now it is naturally vacated for Allen's use. The Dawn Castle also has a power plant, but it is much smaller than the Ark Harbor. The electricity provided can only be used by the city’s main mansion and the residences of several elders, and more places are still illuminated by the original candlelight.

Under a not-so-bright light bulb, Allen looked at the list of supplies that Roy had brought over. The army that arrived this time was not only fully armed, but also brought a batch of war materials. In addition to the conventional armor and swords, there are also some special products from the weapon workshop. For example, the continuous-fire rifle, its style is similar to the common muskets of the Empire, the difference is its internal structure. Due to the limitations of the planet's materials and production technology, it is impossible to produce equipment such as automatic rifles and submachine guns. However, the performance of the continuous-fire rifle has been greatly improved compared with the standard musket. Even ordinary soldiers can use it. A threat to the cavalry.

In addition to the rifle, there are also a number of fire and thunder. On the basis of the original fire and thunder, Lins, the director of the workshop, designed a compact mechanism. You can pull out the ring of fire like a grenade, quickly ignite the fuse inside, and then throw it out to attack. Lins did not make any changes to the common fire thunder in the empire, but designed the fire ring on the original basis, thus saving the ignition link, making the use of the fire thunder more convenient and simple.

The number of these fire mines is large enough to be used by Allen's army for a while. However, Lins also redesigned a batch of fire mines dedicated to the source, which he called blazing fire mines. Blazing Thunder used Lins to re-adjust, and added some means to improve the power of blasting. The blazing thunder does not have a pull ring or a fuze. It requires the source force to inject its own source force into it and use the source force to trigger the detonating device before the blazing thunder explodes.

There are only a hundred blazing thunders, and each one is as powerful as a single bombing of a defensive heavy artillery, and its power coverage reaches 40 meters in diameter. Therefore, under the blazing thunder, Lins left a note, emphasizing that the user should operate carefully and not put himself in the explosion range.

At the end of the list, there is a small request from Lins. He hoped that Allen could contact the family as soon as possible to purchase some production machine tools, grinding machines and other equipment. It's best to buy one or several modern weapon production lines. In this way, coupled with the rich mineral resources of Paradise Star, he can continuously produce more high-end guns for Allen.

Even the development of tanks can be carried out. Otherwise, with the current production level of Paradise Star, it will take at least ten to twenty years to develop into the era of popularization of tanks.

After reading the list, it was a letter from Edward to him. The letter mainly reported to him some recent events in the Borderlands.

For example, Black Iron Fort and Storm City began to buy and sell weapons. Of course, Edward sold them only regular swords and armor. But even so, Dark Iron Fort needed more equipment, and Edward guessed that they were probably expanding the army. In this way, the baron Sharon was ambitious and didn't know where to go.

Then there is the issue of business with the earth.

At present, the Thames silver mine under the control of Storm City has been fully activated. Now that it has reconnected with the earth, there is no need to worry about the sale of Thames silver. Not long ago, a batch of Thames silver had been transported back to Earth through Beskode's special commercial starships. Soon after, Allen was able to get the first batch of money. That would be a big number, after all, Thames Silver is a rare metal measured in milligrams. After processing it, it can produce a huge amount of added value, so the profits it generates are extremely amazing.

This special metal was placed in the empire, and because I didn’t know its particularity, I only regarded it as ordinary silver. Only by transporting it back to the earth, can Thames Silver produce its due value. Otherwise, even if Allen has more silver mines, he will not be able to convert them into wealth.

Only after he has money can he buy more war materials. It can be the weapon production line that Lins said, or it can be an army that produces direct combat power. With these things, Allen's forces can develop faster, occupy more territories, tap more abundant resources, and form a virtuous circle.

At the end of the letter, Edward mentioned the church of Father Miró. Now the church is attracting more and more believers, especially the speech at Violet Harbor is very successful. At present, more than half of the chairman of the chamber of commerce, businessmen and ordinary residents have chosen to join the chamber. In particular, Vera showed her ability to foresee the future and was even more admired by businessmen. After all, you can look into the future, which will greatly help your future development of trade routes.

Due to the participation of a large number of businessmen, the church received a lot of donations, and a church army was formed to protect the safety of the church. Milo was very uncreative, and even spoofed the army as the "Crusade". At present, Weapon Workshop is building a batch of armor and weapons for the Crusaders. These equipments are marked with a cross, which is in line with the image of the Crusaders.

Edward pointed out in the letter that most of the sects in the empire have their own armed forces, and the force of these sects is outside the control of the empire. Although this is because so far, the number of sects has a limited number of armed forces, and the empire has turned a blind eye to this. However, Edward believed that he could take advantage of the loopholes in this regard, and let Milo manage Christianity first and expand his influence. If you can reach the top of the empire in the future, you can influence certain decisions of the empire through the church, and even relax the restrictions on the church’s force.

Once this goal is achieved, then the establishment of a large-scale crusade will be equivalent to Allen's other invisible armed forces.

Finally, Edward said that he has begun to train some loyal and capable teams, and Storm City and Sur City in the border land will eventually be planned as a logistics base. But for long-term development considerations, he reminded Allen that he should consider taking down the Black Iron Fort. In this way, the entire border area will be under Alan's control.

After reading the letter, Allen exhaled. Edward's suggestion is worth considering, whether it is able to replace them and continue to develop a loyal team in the two territories after the main force has left the border; or to take down the Black Iron Fort so that the border land is completely covered by his influence; These suggestions are indeed feasible. The only problem is the timing of implementation.

For example, candidates for succession should naturally be cultivated from now on. But as for the Black Iron Fort, he had to slow down, at least until he got a foothold here, Alan still had no time to deal with the Black Iron Fort. However, it is impossible to carry out actual military operations, but there are other ways to contain the Black Iron Fort. The most obvious point is the discord between Sharon and Higgs. As long as this factor is continuously expanded, the Black Iron Fort will fall into civil strife, and once the civil strife, naturally it will not be able to expand outward.

Allen wrote some of his thoughts into a letter, intending to take Roger's hand to send it back to Storm City. After doing this, what he needs to consider now is to attack Bauhinia.

It was late at night.

Several bars in the city closed one after another, and the White Peony Bar was no exception. However, when the lights in front of the porch of the bar went out, a few adventurers wrapped in cloaks came to the front of the bar. A bartender waved: "We are going to close the door. Come back tomorrow."

One of the adventurers took off his hat and turned out to be a woman. It's just that she looks ordinary, but her eyes are amber, which is also rare. She stepped forward, and as she moved forward, as the cloak undulated, from the gaps in the cloak, you could see the smooth skin that accidentally exposed, or the white thighs. The bartender swallowed his saliva. The woman was ordinary and had a good figure.

"Mr., you see that we finally got into the city and just wanted to find a place to stay. Would you have the heart to drive us away?" The woman looked helpless and held the bartender's hand. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, she pulled forward, so the bartender's hand touched her thigh, and the silky touch made the bartender's heart beat faster.

He licked his lips and said, "If it were you, I would know a place to stay and could provide free accommodation."

"Where is it?" The woman leaned over, her lips being less than a centimeter from the bartender's ears. She chuckled softly: "It won't be your bed, right?"

The bartender smiled and just wanted to say something. Suddenly, his throat felt cold. He didn't know what was going on, but the woman had bypassed him and went into the bar. Then several other adventurers also stepped forward, casting their eyes from under the brim of their hats. Without exception, their eyes seemed to be looking at a dead person.

At this time, the bartender wanted to yell, but he couldn't scream when he spoke. Only then did he realize that something kept coming out of his throat. He reached out and touched it, his palm was sticky. Raising his hand, the palm of his hand has been stained red with blood.

Only then did he know that he had been slit by the woman.

Eventually ~lightnovelpub.net~ he became a real corpse.

A **** smell soon wafted in the bar, and the few bartenders who had not left were completely turned into corpses. Seglisi lifted his hat and shook his head: "This way of clearing the venue is too intense."

"What does it matter, so we will be the new owners of the bar." Xia Lier walked over with a smile, her hand still holding the body of a man. He is the owner of the bar. He hid under the wine cabinet just now, and naturally he couldn't escape Sha Lier's eyes.

The dwarf said with a smile: "If that Lord Ellen comes to the bar for a drink, I promise to let him drink the last delicious taste."

"But I heard that there have been a few more powerful people around him. This is not easy to deal with." The one-eyed who has been silent said.

Red beard hit the bar with a punch and said, "What does it matter, it's fun if there are more people!"

Seglisi looked at them and said: "Anyway, you have to plan well in order to avoid any mistakes in the middle. From now on, you will follow my instructions." r1058
