Phoenix Grand Lord

Lo Wei continued to order: "The craftsmen continue to strengthen the construction of fortifications, and the wood and stone in the warehouse should be placed in advance so that they can be replenished in time when the defense tower is damaged."

"Yes, sir!"

"Gerlan, your blacksmith shop must continue to work overtime to build the fifth tiger squat cannon. I hope to see the fifth tiger squat cannon before the day after tomorrow. In addition, various iron weapons, armor, triangular arrows, marbles, etc., must also speed up production and reserves."

"Yes! Master!"

The blacksmith shop now has twenty slave apprentices alone.

And ten of them are about to graduate, plus the improvement of iron and steelmaking technology, so the current blacksmith shop is very efficient.

Meiling Valley also has a lot of iron weapons, armor, triangular arrows, marbles, etc. reserves.

In comparison, the stock of black powder is a bit small.

After all, black powder can only be purchased from the black market through the trade boss Guli, and it is not possible to buy a lot at one time.

In fact, the Chamber of Commerce not only controls the open trade of the Soladin Empire, but also the black market trade.

As long as Boss Guli's superior nods, Meiling Valley will certainly be able to obtain a steady supply of banned black gunpowder.

But the Chamber of Commerce is very smart. If Meiling Valley does not exchange this strategic material that is obviously used for military purposes with equal benefits, then they will definitely squeeze a little bit, and then squeeze a little bit more.

The Chamber of Commerce's plan is nothing more than to use black gunpowder, a military material that is difficult to buy, to hang Luo Wei.

But Luo Wei is not in a hurry at all.

First of all, there are only 5 tiger squat cannons now, and they have not formed a large-scale system.

Moreover, these 5 tiger squat cannons cannot fire at the same time due to the bearing capacity of the gun barrels, and they have to cool down in turn.

Therefore, the surface number is 5, but in fact at least two tiger squat cannons will cool down and rest at the same time.

In this way, the black gunpowder used is naturally not as much as imagined.

Luo Wei can even save a small part of the black gunpowder and make a simple version of the truth grenade.

Secondly, Luo Wei knew the manufacturing principle of black gunpowder very well.

Luo Wei himself had the ability to exchange resources with the power of the phoenix. It was not difficult to exchange saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur.

It was only a matter of time to manufacture black gunpowder belonging to Meilin Valley.

The Chamber of Commerce thought that it could strangle Luo Wei with black gunpowder, but in fact it was impossible.

After arranging the work of the blacksmith shop, Luo Wei continued: "Our brewery will be shut down from now on, and all labor resources will be allocated to distributing materials, making bandages, digging trenches, and treating the wounded."

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone present was impressed by Luo Wei's comprehensive and meticulous arrangements.

After arranging the heads of various aspects in Meilin Valley, Luo Wei said: "According to my deduction, Edmund will definitely rest in the Stone Forest Highlands Manor tonight.

"For a person who pays attention to decency like Edmund, it is impossible for him to camp in the wild. He will definitely find a manor to rest.

"And the closest place in his itinerary is the Stone Forest Highlands Manor.

"So, my plan is that this afternoon, we will take the lead in taking down the Stone Forest Highlands Manor, and then let their vanguard troops in to destroy their living forces first!"

When everyone present heard this, they all looked ecstatic and were ready to fight!

First Mate Hayes couldn't help but frowned, thinking in his heart:

Has this Luo Wei ever fought a war? Can a manor be taken down just by fighting? How is this possible?

This impossible battle, unless we sailors and knights are asked to fight, otherwise, we will be sent to fight.

Luo Wei is obviously very smart, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

Oh, I see, Luo Wei must want to use us sailors and knights to help him fight.

Haha, this credit must belong to us!

But Luo Wei determined the tactics without communicating with us first, isn't he afraid that we don't agree?

Will arrange for us to fight later At this time, I have to refuse first, so as to raise the value of our sailor knights. Then I will accept it reluctantly when Miss Anne asks for it.

Ha! I am so smart!

First Mate Hayes pretended to be calm on the surface, but he was prepared in his heart.

Old Tyr on the side sneered:

Humph, this is simply a group of children who have never fought a war and don’t know the height of the world! They actually treat war as a joke, it would be strange if they don’t lose!

But it’s good, if Luo Wei loses sooner, I can take Princess Lillian away from this place of right and wrong sooner.

Luo Wei’s eyes swept across everyone’s faces, and finally fell on the fanatical and determined face of Knight Mai Wen, "Knight Mai Wen!"

"Here! Master Luo Wei!" Knight Mai Wen was so excited that he wanted to kneel down to Luo Wei, "Mai Wen Klinberg obeys your orders!

Even if Luo Wei clearly told him to be cannon fodder and let him lead his mercenaries to attack Edmund's main force, he would dare to go!

If not for the meritorious iron coins, then for the first-class merit to be passed down through the ages!

Luo Wei said solemnly: "I will give you 300 bell ringers and reserve troops - stay in Meilin Valley."

"Ah? !" Knight Mai Wen was struck by lightning, "Master Luo Wei, stay, stay? ! No! No! No one"

Knight Mai Wen's painful expression was exactly like a tragic male protagonist.

Luo Wei smiled and said, "Yes, I order you to stay. At this critical moment, I must use the person I trust most to guard Merrill Lynch Valley for me. Obviously, you are the person I trust most. At that time, you will be solely responsible for the military affairs of Merrill Lynch Valley."

When Knight Melvin heard that he was the person Luo Wei trusted the most, his originally painful and distorted face suddenly became proud and excited, "Oh, that's right, yes, Master Luo Wei, you can completely believe it 200% Me! I will never live up to your expectations! But if you let me go to the front, I can do more."

Luo Wei waved his hand, "I know you want the pioneering merit. Don't worry, tonight's advance battle is not a decisive battle. The pioneering merit is still there."

Knight Maiwen was finally relieved, "Resolutely obey Master Luo Wei's orders! Fight for Master Luo Wei!"

Luo Wei turned to Chariz and said, "Chariz, go and select 100 light cavalry of the Bell Ringing Army immediately."

Chariz said excitedly: "Yes! Master! Thank you for giving me the command of this early battle. I will do my best to eliminate Edmund's vitality!"

Luo Wei waved his hand again, "What good thing are you thinking of? I just want you to pick and call. This kind of war must be spearheaded by me."

Chariz suddenly said angrily: "Oh! Damn master!"

Among the entire civilian class in Merrill Lynch Valley, only Charizi dared to talk to Luo Wei like this.

Luo Wei laughed, not only not angry, but also full of pride.

I'm afraid Erfeng had the same mood when he wrote "Ode to the Powerful Phoenix". Of course, he couldn't let go of such a good thing as the imperial commander's personal expedition.

Anne also laughed at Charlize, "Charlize, you still don't understand your master, he is going to die! You are still so stupid and naive!"

Next to him, First Officer Hayes was dumbfounded:

Isn't it? Miss Anne, can you still laugh? Luo Wei actually wanted to go to Stone Forest Highland Manor in person, and he only brought 100 serfs from the Bell Ringing Army?

Shouldn't he come and ask us sailor knights to help lead the charge?

How can he win without us sailor knights?

He didn't even wake up, how could he lead troops to attack a hostile manor for which he must have been prepared.

This is a huge mistake!

It seems that I overestimated Luo Wei's military ability!

Old Tier, who was outside the crowd, was also full of sarcasm: Personally taking 100 serfs to attack the manor? Great, Luo Wei will definitely die this time! As long as Luo Wei dies, the mess in Meilin Valley will be over, and then I will be able to take the princess away.

Just listen to Luo Wei continue to say: "In this early battle, I will be the commander, and Sharize and Rui Wenzhi will accompany them, bringing two squatting tiger cannons. As for Annie - don't go this time, stay here." Merrill Valley, help Gallan cast the magical squatting cannon."

Anne was still laughing at Charize for being silly and naive. When she heard that she was not being taken care of, the smile on her pretty face suddenly froze.

"Luo Wei, don't go so far!" Annie said anxiously, "How dare you not take me with you? I, I, I, I won't do it for you anymore!"

Luo Wei blinked, "You won't do it for me anymore? You mean——"

Annie's pretty face stomped on her feet shyly, "I'm talking about steelmaking! I won't make steel for you anymore!"

Luo Wei smiled and reassured: "Annie, we have to travel long distances tonight, which is very tiring, and we have to continue practicing at night, and you are now in a critical period of practice. I asked you to stay because I don't want you to be too tired. , causing me to have no energy to practice at night.”

Annie was stunned.

It is true that cultivation is more important.

Luo Wei continued: "The real tough battle will definitely be the defense of Merrill Valley. By then, wouldn't it be better if you became the youngest level 6 female magician in the Thoradin Empire?"

Annie rolled her eyes at Luo Wei angrily, "Okay! I'll just listen to you! I hate it so much!"

Luo Wei clapped his hands, "Okay, the basic tasks have been arranged, everyone can go and prepare! In an hour, the light cavalry of the Bell Ringing Army will set off with me!"

"Yes! Master!"

After everyone accepted the order, they left the lord's farmhouse excitedly.

First Officer Hayes stayed where he was with a shocked face.

He originally thought that Luo Wei was playing hard to get, but he didn't expect that Luo Wei really didn't arrange for them to participate in the Stone Forest Highland Manor.

this·--

How could 100 serf soldiers conquer the Stone Forest Highlands? And Luo Wei only brings a level 4 female knight and a level 2 assassin. What's the use?

Luo Wei himself is not an awakened person, so he will probably die directly!

If Luo Wei died, wouldn't Miss Anne...

Hayes pursed his lips and frowned at Rowe, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

Luo Wei smiled harmlessly at Hayes, "Why, Lord Hayes, are you okay?"

Hayes hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Luo Wei, I know that I am an outsider in Merrill Valley, and I shouldn't say anything about your tactical arrangements.

But - isn't it a bit too adventurous for you to attack Stone Forest Highland Manor yourself? "

"Oh, this matter -" Rowe smiled, "It's nothing. It's easy to conquer the Stone Forest Highland Manor. If it weren't for the safe elimination of Edmund's strength, I wouldn't even want to bring 100 light cavalry. With a dozen people, we can flatten the Stone Forest Highlands."

The more Luo Wei said this, the more worried Hayes became, "Mr. Luo Wei, in fighting a war, we professional soldiers must be more professional. I don't think it's better...

Hayes waited for Rowe to ask.

But Rowe said, "Oh, no need. First Mate Hayes, you are all royal people, and you are under the management of Count Loris. Don't get involved in such local fights, otherwise you will be blamed when you go back."

Hayes looked at Rowe in surprise.

He never expected that Rowe had already thought of this for them.

Hayes hesitated and said, "But since we are here, we should help a little."

Rowei smiled and said, "You standing by our side, even if you don't do anything, is already a great help to us."

Hayes understood Rowe's intention. It turned out that Rowe had never thought of using sailor knights, but only wanted to use the "Imperial Navy" to strengthen his momentum.

It must be said that this is indeed a very clever way to take advantage of the situation.

Hayes and the sailor knights do not have to directly participate in the local war, but they can play a certain role.

But Hayes still thinks it is not appropriate for Rowe to lead the expedition personally. If he fails, it will be all over.

Just as Hayes was about to persuade him again, Luo Wei said, "Of course, if Lord Hayes feels bored staying in Merrill Valley, then you can come with me to Stone Forest Highlands Manor."

Hayes said quickly, "Okay, okay! I'll let the sailor knight prepare. Luo Wei waved his hand, "No, just you can go with me, and don't do anything."

Hayes was a little surprised, but then he thought that as a level 6 awakened knight, even if he didn't take action, it should be no problem to save Luo Wei's life.

"Okay, Lord Luo Wei, I'll go and prepare myself. "Hayes gave Rowe a standard military salute, tapped his heels, and turned to leave.

Hayes originally wanted to wait for Rowe to ask him to send troops, and then he would reluctantly agree for Anne's sake. But now he took the initiative to ask Rowe to take him, and Rowe reluctantly agreed for Anne's sake.

Although the result was the same, the initiative was completely overturned.

After almost everyone in the lord's room had left, Rowe turned to the head maid Lillian and said, "Lillian, stay alone for a while. I have something to tell you."

"Okay, sir!" Lillian agreed very readily.

Old Tyr next to him frowned, "Lillian, then I will stay and wait for you too."

Lillian said without turning her head, "Uncle Tyr, don't make trouble here. The lord asked me to stay alone for a while. Don't you understand what alone means? "

Old Tyr was about to cry, "Lillian——"

"Oh, Uncle Tyr, don't be so nervous, go out quickly." Lillian urged.

Old Tyr sighed, glared at Rowe with a warning look, and then followed the others out of the lord's farmhouse.

Soon, Rowe and Lillian were the only ones left in the room.
