Great Nobleman

After finishing the patrol of the territory, he returned to Fanhua Bay.

Not waiting for Brand to do anything else.

Mr. Holland led his team to Chenhualing at noon the next day.

In addition to many members of the Holland family's caravan, there was also Yersen who was going to come over to learn more.

When Brand suspended the drawing of the rune array on the outer wall of the castle, he learned the news from Catherine.

Mr. Holland and Yersin had already embarked on the cross-sea road to the castle with great interest, guided by the castle guards.

After walking up to the edge platform of the castle's outer wall, I glanced at Mr. Holland and Yersin who were approaching leisurely on their horses from a distance.

Brand also put away the rune circle drawing tools and then went to the gate to greet him.

If there was nothing eye-catching here before except for a tall stone tower and the sculpture of "Flower Lady", Mr. Holland's interest was very limited.

Now that the basic framework of the castle has been completed, simple arrangements and decorations have been carried out in some places.

Mr. Holland will definitely be curious and want to come and visit.

This should be the same for Yersen.

So after welcoming the two people into the castle.

There was no need for them to say anything. Brand took the initiative to take the two of them on a tour of the castle.

Halfway through the tour, I saw the extremely thick wall on the north side of the castle, the arrow windows distributed like stars, and the numerous towers.

Mr. Holland suddenly sighed and said:

"I thought you would make the castle luxurious and exquisite, like a palace!

Unexpectedly, the north side of the castle was created purely for war! "

After looking at the endless sea in the north, Mr. Holland said with approval:

"You're right! If a castle can't help defend against enemies, then why build a castle? Wouldn't it be better to just build a palace?

And since this castle is built on the northernmost side of the land, it is natural to focus on guarding against unknown threats from the endless sea further north.

Our empire's maritime military is only now beginning to sprout.

Consolidate your defense first, and then develop better. "

Brand nodded and said:

“I think so too, although everything is very peaceful now.

But no one knows what the future will hold.

I once visited the cities and ports along the northern coast of the Elf Forest.

Even the elves with very powerful maritime military power have taken coastal defense to an almost extreme level.

According to them, there are actually quite a lot of threats from the ocean, just because the Year of Tides has just passed.

Everything has not started to appear yet. "

Mr. Holland smiled and said:

"Didn't you kill a few high-level ocean monsters last time? That is obviously one of the threats from the ocean."

While discussing the ocean with Mr. Holland.

Yersen on the side casually slapped away the [Warm Wind Flower] blocking the arrow window, stretched his head and looked inside.

After seeing the upgraded bed crossbow placed inside.

He couldn't help but look back at Chenhua Harbor at the edge of the bay in the distance and said:

"I asked why there were no high-end magic crossbows in Chenhua Port. They were all placed in the castle.

Think about it carefully, with the super long range of your top magic bed crossbows.

If someone really attacks Chenhua Port from the sea, they can directly attack the northern sea of ​​Chenhua Port from the castle. "

Upon hearing this, Mr. Holland quickly noticed this.

After looking up at the dense arrow windows higher up in the castle, he rubbed his chin with one hand and thought:

"Based on the height difference between your castle and most of the port.

It should also be feasible to directly carry out precise strikes on some areas inside the port when necessary, right?

But it seems that most of the magic crossbows in your library are capable of mass destruction?

Is it very easy to affect innocent people? "

Brand shrugged and said:

"Although this is indeed the case now, we can still study it in the future.

If it doesn't work, we just have to find someone to purchase it.

No matter what happens, exchange is still possible! "

Having said this, looking at the bay scenery in the distance, Brand smiled again:

“At the beginning, I actually didn’t think about it that much, but looking back now.

The entire Blossom Bay is actually within the protection range of North Holland Fort.

Of course, we use the Endless Sea on the north side as the key defense direction.

But in fact, the situation on the south side is not much different.

In addition, we will build more sea warships in the future.

The bay area on the south side of the castle is actually a natural military dock protected by the castle.

You can usually park here and stand by, and you can set off immediately if anything happens! "

Hearing this, Yersin smiled and said:

“This is a really good idea.

But your morning flower collar is so big and the coastline is so long.

It's not enough to just protect Flower Bay, other places also need to build fortifications.

The biggest dilemma you face now is obviously the manpower issue.

Have you thought about how to solve it as soon as possible? "

Speaking of this issue, Brand shook his head and said:

“Of course I want to resolve this matter as soon as possible, but if I think about it carefully, it’s best to take it step by step and slowly.

Avoid unexpected troublesome situations. "

Mr. Holland waved his hand and said:

"It's better to slow down a little bit. If there is a foreign enemy, I can bring people over at any time to support us.

Several allied families, many lords in the south, and even the entire empire have the same interests as you.

Currently, His Majesty the Emperor is making every effort to develop the maritime military.

In fact, it is to protect the tranquility of the northern coast of the empire and allow everyone to develop with peace of mind. "

After talking about this, Mr. Holland said again:

"By the way, we saw a lot of knight golems while walking around, but we didn't encounter many castle guards.

And most of those guards are knight apprentices.

They should be reserve members of the Knights, right?

Where are the official members? And what about Hisari? "

Hearing this question, Brand turned his eyes to Catherine, who was following him with a book.

In response, Catherine temporarily looked away from the book, and then responded:

"Hisali took the guards out for training. They shouldn't be back until evening."

Mr. Holland nodded and then said:

"Then early tomorrow morning, let Xisali lead the guard group to gather in the wild south of Blossom Bay.

I will teach them how to form the framework of the Knights! "

Hearing this, Brand smiled and said:

"I know, I will tell Hisari, and then I'll leave it to you."

Mr. Holland waved his hand and said:

“It’s just a small thing.

By the way, during this time you also had someone teach Yersin.

Because I was busy with other things and relaxed my supervision, this guy still hasn't learned the basics of mage.

The research on the [Power of Transcendence] at the level of the Great Knight is still far away!

This is an important part of our family’s future development, so we can’t slack off! "

Hearing this, Brand couldn't help but turned his eyes to Yersen in surprise.

——Such laziness is completely unlike Yersin’s style!

Since Hisari became the Grand Knight, he still wanted to share his research results with Yersin!

Is it because things are too busy and there is no free time?

After noticing Brand's gaze, Yersen spread his hands and said:

“Who knew your mage’s theory was so troublesome?

My learning progress is fast enough! "
