By summer, Margaret's inland ship team would arrive at Border Town.
Roland deliberately went to the docks to meet the business woman and inspected the cargo she had delivered.
The most important things were the three ships of saltpeter. Border Town's gunpowder had basically run out causing the shooting practice of the First Army to be stopped. Though revolving rifles had been distributed on a small scale, they were merely put through their paces in order to maintain the guns by reloading and cleaning them. With the saltpeter they could begin shooting practice once more.
Apart from the saltpeter, she had also brought two ships of mine ingots that included iron and copper, as well as part of green alum mine. It would take almost two or three days to unload that.
