The spring snow has melted and it’s time for spring plowing again.

In the fields outside Dawn City, you can see people from the Ministry of Agriculture in the city hall actively guiding farmers and unpromoted serfs to carry out farming plans in an orderly manner.

Not only that, Dawn City’s unique high-quality, high-yielding wheat seeds and other seeds will also be sent to Dongsheng Fortress and Laifeng Port by water and land transportation.

The city hall over there is then responsible for distributing it to farmers and sowing seeds on their fields.

Considering that it is the first time for the Ministry of Agriculture in Port Laifeng and Dongsheng Fortress to guide farmers in farming, some places may not be doing well.

To this end, Irving specially assigned some Ministry of Agriculture personnel from Dawn City to pass on their experience.

After all, food is related to people's livelihood, is an extremely important strategic material, and is also the most basic means of living for the people.

Only when people have their stomachs full can they carry out production work well.

Only when you have food in your hands can you be calm in your heart.

Therefore, Owen attaches great importance to this farming plan. In order to ensure that the output of this year's autumn harvest can meet expectations, he also issued output targets to the three ministries of agriculture.

If the tasks are not completed, the lower-level staff will have their salaries deducted, and the leadership above will be held accountable, and may be demoted or even fired.

With clear indicators, there will be pressure, and the talents of the Ministry of Agriculture will be motivated to perform tasks.

While spring plowing is in full swing in the three places, the People's Army is also preparing for an expedition.

At the military dock of Dawn City, soldiers were transporting cannons, ammunition and other supplies to the steel battleship King and other cement steamships responsible for transportation.

On the other side, Owen explained some matters to the senior officials of the city hall before setting off for the expedition, and told them to manage Dawn City well.

"If possible, I would also like to follow Mr. Owen on the expedition." Teresa said with regret.

"Don't be so downcast."

Owen comforted: "Theresa, the education you are responsible for is an extremely important undertaking for Dawn City and even the entire kingdom. The graduates you train will definitely become the pillars of all walks of life in the future. I

I hope you can stay and do this job well."

"Of course I know what's important and what's important, and I will definitely live up to Sir Owen's expectations."

Then, Theresa turned to look at the two powerful knights behind Owen.

"Mabel, Angelica, you must protect Mr. Owen."

"Of course, this is my duty, don't worry." Mapel performed a standard knightly salute.

"This is a task assigned by the Pope himself, and I will carry it out well." Angelica also responded.

At this moment, a soldier trotted over and reported: "Lord, all the supplies have been transported and can be set off at any time."

"That's it, I'm going to get on the ship, and I'll leave Dawn City to you."

After speaking, Owen, Viscount Jarvis and others turned around and boarded the steel battleship and ordered to set off.

The remaining city hall officials held their chests and saluted at the end, and said in unison: "Waiting for your lord's triumphant return."

Accompanied by the long blast of the whistle, the King slowly left the dock, marking the beginning of the expedition to the Royal Capital.

Led by the King, followed by more than a dozen concrete steamships filled with soldiers, this huge Dawn City fleet sailed southward along the Weishui River.

In order to ensure that the cement steamer could keep up, the King did not drive at full speed, but drove at a slower speed.

The black smoke from the chimneys dragged for a long time, and the fleet swayed the river to both sides as it moved forward. With so many cement ships and warships gathered together, it looked quite spectacular.

Seeing the fleet setting off, many people spontaneously ran to the bank of the Weishui River, waving and shouting at the King at the front.

Upon seeing this, Owen, who was still on the deck, smiled and waved to the people on the shore in response.

After arriving at Dongsheng Fortress, the fleet did not make any stop and directly turned around and headed west, aiming directly at the royal capital, Junhui City.

…

Linshui City.

As soon as he received White's order, Earl Munster immediately deployed some troops and ships at the dock.

Although Dawn City has declared war on the Royal Capital, the time of the attack is unclear, and it is not known whether the opponent's attack route will be by water, land, or both.

For this reason, Earl Munster could only send scouts to the east to investigate the situation and make preparations.

To be honest, Linshui City does not have strong military strength on the water.

If the enemy takes the water route, Earl Munster doesn't know whether those wooden boats can play their due role.

Because he heard that Dawn City has very powerful new weapons that can easily defeat the army assembled by Duke Eddie. This is too powerful.

However, the royal capital successfully copied the new weapon.

But unfortunately, White decided to use all the new weapons to strengthen the troops in the royal capital, and had no intention of distributing them to Linshui City.

The Earl of Munster knew very well that the military strength of Linshui City could not even be compared to Dongsheng Fortress when Duke Eddie was still there, and it was even more incomparable to Dawn City.

Fortunately, White's requirements for Linshui City were not too high. He just wanted to consume the enemy's troops as much as possible, and at the same time, urgently sent people to report the news of the enemy's invasion to Jinwei City and the Royal Capital.

To put it bluntly, Linshui City is treated as an outpost, and its most important role is to transmit intelligence.

As a result, something unexpected happened one day, that is, a large group of demi-human races walked out of the Mysterious Forest and launched an attack on Linshui City.

Attacking Linshui City was a force composed of multiple demihuman races. They used weapons such as spears, which were relatively crudely made.

The person commanding this force is a gray wolf and lizard man.

This made Count Munster feel very strange. According to past intelligence, the demi-human race in the Mysterious Forest was in a state of division, each living in his own way. How could they suddenly unite?

Worried that Linshui City would be captured by the terrifying demihuman race, Count Munster quickly transferred back the troops deployed at the docks to strengthen the protection of the city wall.

After several rounds of fighting, Earl Munster soon discovered something unusual.

Every time the demihuman troops launched an attack, they would rush over with great force, making the soldiers on the city wall nervous.

However, once they reached the foot of the city wall, they would quickly retreat and return to a safe area to rest.

Every once in a while, the demihuman troops would launch an attack, which would end at the last minute and start again and again.

What on earth are they doing?

Count Munster, who was standing on the city wall, frowned deeply. The enemy's posture did not look like they were going to capture Linshui City, but rather they were waiting for something.

At this time, a scout hurried over, pointed to the east and reported: "Uncle...Your Majesty the Earl! There is a situation on the river to the east!"

"What?!"

Looking in the direction pointed by the scout, Count Munster's face immediately showed a look of surprise.
Chapter completed!
