At night, Roland sat in his office and began designing the new equipment.
The appearance of the pill in Port of Clearwater made him feel a strong sense of crisis. Without thinking about why the church simultaneously supported him and Garcia to vie for the throne, just the fact that Garcia's military strength comprised of thousands of soldiers terrified him greatly.
He imagined thousands of steel-clad warriors charging at cavalry speed towards him in an unstoppable manner. His weak line of volley fire would find it hard to stop them. If one of these warriors charged into a group of soldiers, it would cause heavy damage to the First Army.
Fortunately, this kind of pill could not provide immunity to its user, who thus remained flesh and blood.
What Roland needed was higher-speed and more precise weapons, so that he could continually fire at the enemies from an even greater distance.
