Three hundred and fortieth chapters wise move
Something that will definitely deal with in the future?
After hearing Gao Wen's words, the Kant Kant couldn't help but think, and soon they thought about it.
What will the knight deal with? In addition to the etiquette that every noble member has to contact, of course it is swords, armor and war horses.
Although Ansu's aristocratic system has begun to decline, and many traditional martial arts aristocrats have been corrupted by their extravagant life and have begun to rely on simple and easy methods such as magic rituals and potions to catalyze their extraordinary power, this is a world where extraordinary power exists, and personal strength can largely determine social status. Especially in the southern border where public security is poor, the grassroots martial arts aristocrats still pay great attention to "power". These knights from Kant's territory are of course no exception. As the guardians of superior nobles and the benchmark of force in the territory, they always regard personal strength improvement first. Speaking of what knights must deal with... that is undoubtedly weapons and equipment.
At most, it will be accompanied by "decoration" like escorts.
The knights exchanged glances silently, and they knew that this was probably the new lord who showed them the force. I heard that the original armed forces of the Cecil territory were greatly hit after the disaster before. There were only two extraordinary knights who survived, and the others were just a group of soldiers and militias. However, later Gao Wen recruited a large number of people from the refugees to train, which was considered to have barely gathered enough troops to defend the territory...
They don't know much about this new army, but they just heard that this new army has some unique weapons and equipment, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. Perhaps the new leader mainly displays this aspect.
The knights each had their own ideas, but they unanimously felt that the lord actually didn't need to show his army - as a powerful knight lord who had legendary strength, Gao Wen Cecil himself was the best deterrent. His martial power was enough, what else should he show?
No matter what their thoughts were, the team soon arrived at the weapons test site outside the city. After passing through a series of soldier checkpoints, the Kanders arrived at a tall wood-built viewing platform and saw a row of strange big guys neatly arranged on the ground below.
"I want to show you the Justice-i-type magic crystal rail cannon that has just been equipped in the Cecil combat regiment," Gao Wen looked at the Kant Knights who were looking around curiously, and said with a smile, "If you want to become a member of Cecil, you won't be able to understand your own fighting style."
Justice-i-type magic crystal rail gun? What is that? Are the large iron lumps and iron pillars on the field? Their shapes are quite regular, and I don’t know how the craftsmen made them exactly the same...
The knights were confused, and then they watched the soldiers act: the soldiers trained by ordinary people ran around the rail guns, loaded metal objects between the steel, adjusted the angle of the "track", checked something, and kept shouting strange commands...
This is a very fresh scene. These soldiers have almost no extraordinary aura. This shows that they are all ordinary people, mud legs that cannot be read. That Gao Wen Cecil can train such people so obediently, so that they can act quickly and cooperate tacitly. This is not easy, but what are they doing?
Just as the knights were puzzled, a soldier holding a small flag suddenly ran to the high platform used for observation. The soldier shouted loudly: "Report! The rail cannon is ready, please give me instructions!"
Gao Wen nodded slightly: "Quick-fire, fire."
The soldier turned around and waved the flag in his hand with a strange rule.
Before the knights understood what was going on, they saw that all the soldiers standing behind the "rail cannon" had their movements: they pressed something on the base, and waves of magic-charged buzzing sounds came from the strange large devices, and bright magic runes began to appear on the surface of the device. Then, the soldiers standing behind the base pulled down a red lever.
A series of explosions followed, and a bright halo suddenly burst out from the front of each "rail cannon": it was the flash of aerodynamic runes activated, and then, a bunch of vague things rushed into the sky and flew into the distance.
With the extraordinary vision of the knights, they could hardly capture the flight trajectory of those things.
After a moment, a loud bang like thunder suddenly exploded, and huge explosions rose one after another on the distant hillside. The soil and rocks rose into the air and turned into small mushroom clouds in the shock wave.
The knights were startled by the loud bang. Many people thought that a powerful magician suddenly broke into the attack territory. Some even subconsciously activated their protective aura. However, they did not see the figure of the magician. Instead, they saw the soldiers below continuing to move calmly and orderly in the loud bang. New metal objects were loaded into the steel, followed by another burst of explosions, another loud bang...
They finally knew what was going on with this terrible blow that seemed like dozens of advanced spell bombardment.
After several consecutive rounds of shooting, the deafening roar finally calmed down. The knights looked at each other, and Gao Wen walked past them with a smile and walked towards the exit of the viewing platform: "Everyone, it's time for us to go to the next place. Don't keep staring at it. Anyway, everyone will inevitably have to deal with these things after today."
Now, they finally know what it means to "deal with these things".
Wald Perici walked in the middle of the team and heard a young knight beside him muttering: "The new law... doesn't seem unacceptable..."
Wald turned his head slightly and recognized that this was the knight who had previously expressed his desire to "express his attitude".
Afterwards, Gao Wen took these people to the assembly factory of the shells.
He did not let these Kant knights look at the rune structure in the shells (although he felt that these knights might not understand the rune, after all, not everyone is like him in magic and martial arts practice). He just asked everyone to take a look at how many powerful shells can be made in a day.
After returning to the lord's mansion, Gao Wen looked at the reactions of these old knights with satisfaction, but he thought his deterrence was enough and it was time to give these people some comfort.
"Everyone, I know that you have resentment about the deprivation of land governance rights - without justification or hiding, I still have this vision, but what I want to say is that this is the basis for the Cecil leadership to become stronger and the basis for you to gain a better future in the future.
"I guess you cannot understand it now, the concept of emancipating productivity, freeing population, and centralizing authority, but I can promise you that after you let go of your old privileges, you will be able to gain more in the new order - not just wealth, but also personal glory and achievements.
"Kanter will establish a new management department similar to the Second-level Government Affairs Office. Knight Philip and Mr. Padrick will preside over this work. I hope that Knight Wald Perridge will become a mainstay in this process. Just as you maintained the order of Kanter a few months ago, I hope that you can also become the maintainer of the new order.
"I will also take this opportunity to remind everyone present to find their place in the new order, rather than remembering the privileges that are destined to be lost. This is a wise move.
"Now, you can take a swearing or leave."
On the banks of the Baishui River, a new merchant ship was approaching the pier with the help of the dock guide.
In the north of the kingdom, the main rivers are still in severe dry seasons, the water sources on the mountains are still frozen, and the river surfaces in the northern region are still floating ice. However, in the southern part of the kingdom, the area closest to the Gondor wasteland, the ice layer blocking the river has melted. Although the aquaculture period is far from coming, at least on the Baishui River, the lighter and faster merchant ships have become active again.
With the rising water level, the merchants who had been waiting all winter couldn't wait to start their livelihoods. The month of recovery was not only the recovery of farmland, but also the recovery of these merchants who traveled around the world and relied on reselling materials. At this time, all territories urgently needed goods from afar. Of course, in most cases, self-sufficient farmers would not deal with these merchants. These merchants mainly deal with wealthy families and nobles in the territory, and brought wine, sugar, new carpets and clothing, as well as spices and fur that the rich people needed.
These things can be sold at a higher price at this time.
Because the water level of Baishui River was still shallow at this time, and there were dangerous floating ice in many places floating on the river surface. The first merchant ships departed had to bear greater risks for this, and the earlier the risk was greater. However, driven by interests, there were always brave people who were the first to leave the port.
The goods required by each territory are different. Cecil's territory may be the "most different" of all territories. There are not many wines, spices needed here, and the demand for various magical ores and metal raw ores is very large. These things are quite heavy and the cost of land transportation is high, so in most cases they will be transported by water. Due to the prosperity of the alchemy potion business, any businessman with a brain knows that Cecil's territory is rich at this moment, so as soon as the river opens, a ship full of magical ores arrives on the pier of Cecil.
And along with the ore were the first new immigrants who arrived in this pioneering territory after the month of recovery came.
The clerk responsible for registering immigration sat in his office on the west side of the dock. He had been doing this work since last year and had been familiar with the work content. After knowing that today's merchant ships were carrying some immigrants, he sorted out the registration form and began to record those outsiders who could not even tell their names clearly.
One ragged registered reporter after another came in and out. The clerk skillfully and numbly arranged the forms and filled in the contents, but suddenly, he noticed an unusual coat in his sight.
It was a woolen coat, old, but clean and tidy - it was not the dress that homeless wanderers would have.
The clerk raised his head and moved his sight along the thread of the woolen jacket. He saw a down-and-out man with a pretty good complexion.
"Are you registering here?" the man asked cautiously.
"Yes," the clerk took a form conditionedly, "name, age, job or career?"
"Joseph, thirty, pharmacist."
"Pharmacist?" The clerk paused his fingers as he took notes. This was the most decent profession he had written since he did this job. He raised his head with uncertainty and confirmed, "You mean pharmacist?"
