"Crackling~" The heavy iron-clad city gate of Rapid City slammed open in the morning light, and the crowd rushed out of Rapid City like fish entering the sea.

On the dirt roads in the countryside, people greeted the people around them with simple smiles, and they were not timid when they met the soldiers patrolling around them. Everything seemed tranquil and peaceful.

The crisp sound of horse hooves broke the peace, and at the end of the horizon, a golden dragon flag with a red background appeared in everyone's sight.

"Our army!" A young man pointed to the flag and said.

"Has our lost team returned? Or is His Royal Highness the King back?" A patrolling fleet of Swiftstream infantry looked at the mighty flag and asked curiously.

"It's the king that's back! That flag is golden tassel! It's the king's flag!" After a while, people recognized Roland's distinctive king flag.

...

"I'm back! I'm still comfortable in my own place." Roland rode on horseback and watched the people coming and going. Compared with the city that used to be a little desolate, today's Rapid City has so much The smell of fireworks, the farmers who traveled between the country roads and the fields, the hawkers hawking on the streets, the only pub that was very popular... all made the city move in a good direction.

"Welcome home, His Royal Highness!" Grand Duke Nyx, who had led someone to wait at the gate of the city in advance, gently lifted the hem of his skirt and bowed slightly to Roland.

"Thank you for coming out to greet me, Your Royal Highness." Roland dismounted with a smile and helped Nyx.

"How's it going? Is this trip going well?" Nix curiously looked at the team behind Roland.

"It's a tie, but the coalition didn't lose much, but the Orcs defended Dol Guldur. By the way, is the city okay? Nothing major happened, right?" Roland asked.

"As you can see, a plain life is just as I hoped." Nix said plainly to the outside of the city.

"Haha~" Roland was amused by Nix's cute action.

"Come in, after fighting for a long time, the changes in the city are not small, come in and get acquainted."

"The system checks the territory interface!" Roland quietly instructed the system, and the system interface popped up soon.

Evaluation: The lonely king led the remaining people to return to their homeland and established this city with a tall city wall. There are some residents in the city, making the whole city look more fireworks, and everything is developing in a good direction. , the city's military strength is strong, there are many soldiers of the right age! The entire city can completely defend the safety of the city even in the face of a small-scale attack. Note: The Grand Duke of the Duchy of Nyx has escaped so far, and the whole country has no mistress and heir

Ability: 1. As the only territory of the Lagrang Kingdom in Middle-earth, she will attract Lagrang's remnants to go there. The system will guide a group of wandering Lagrang civilians to arrive every day, hoping that the lord can properly place them.

2. Allow the recruitment of civilians from this place to train Swiftstream infantry.

"Not bad, there are actually 1,647 soldiers of the right age!" Roland said in surprise, it seems that if he were to use military force, he would soon be able to pull up a rapid army again!

"Not bad, not bad! At least there is no problem with self-defense now, and even if the orc army comes, I can barely struggle!" Roland is very satisfied, and he can recruit more than 1,600 militiamen, which makes Roland very confident, and the militia only needs to undergo simple training. It can be transformed into a qualified Swift Stream Infantry. The terrifying Swift Stream Infantry in the previous life came from this way. The lords convened the militia at any time for training, but within a week, they could drive one after another of the Swift Stream legions into the battlefield.

"It seems that the city is developing well!" Roland led the horse through the street and looked around. Dried fish and other dry goods were hanging on the door frames of the houses. Every resident's face was filled with happy smiles, and people's clothes were also varied. When he got up, what surprised Roland even more was that a hawker appeared in the city!

"This is... Hegubang's caravan?" Roland blurted out, dumbfounded, this is international trade... Sure enough, businessmen are always the ones who are at the forefront of the times, even in a sideline city like Rapid City that doesn't hold each other day and night. Caravans from other regions can be seen.

"Well, not long after you left, the caravans of River Valley came here, they reclaimed our fur and game and brought us their handicrafts. We had business taxation for the first time..." Nyx Talked eloquently.

"Well done, attracting businessmen to come here to trade with us is an important way to enhance our national strength." Roland affirmed, and I have to say that Nyx is definitely much better than Roland's half-hearted in dealing with internal affairs. Roland realized how knowledgeable a true high-ranking aristocrat was.

What Roland saw and heard along the way fully reflected Nyx's excellent governance experience. He was worthy of being the lord who once ruled a duchy. Even the grand duke of the weakest duchy is still a well-deserved ruler of a country, and his ability to govern is absolutely absolute. No better than a certain Luo **** man.

"Du~du~dududu!"

"What sound!" Roland suddenly heard the faint sound of a horn coming from afar.

"Enemy attack!" Roland suddenly reacted and urged the people around him~www.mtlnovel.com~ The sound of the horn was different from any force he knew. Roland should have thought it was the enemy attack, after all, only half The orc's poor and messy horns can make sounds of different tones.

"Go to the city wall! Sound the horn! Call the soldiers to prepare to defend the city! Send all the cavalry to protect the people back to the city!" Roland said quickly, then twisted and ran towards the city wall, leaving behind a group of bewildered subordinates.

"Quick, quick!" Omsk's toes climbed to the roof next to him, and he caught up with Roland after a few ups and downs.

"His Royal Highness, I'm going to command the defense first!" Omsk only left a voice in the air, but people rushed out quickly.

...

"Why don't you sound the horn of war?" Roland quickly grabbed Omsk in front of him and asked.

"His Royal Highness...you can see for yourself..." Omsk said with some emotion.

On the horizon in the distance, a broken red flag flutters in the wind, and the slightly dilapidated redbud blooms proudly in the cross pattern..
