Chapter 358 Countermeasures (Part 2)
The behavior and expression of this old man. It means that he is a descendant of a lord or a knight, but he is dilapidated.
In fact, quite a few people like this have come here recently in an attempt to shake up the family.
The old man took out a document, which recorded the movements of the past half month, and even included some information that was not difficult to collect, but it was not easy to collect.
Luo Meng took it over, and as he read it gradually, his heartbeat quickened.
"Romon, Wadenwen has been aggressively attacking us recently, and it seems to be very bad for us!" Alini straightened up and said.
"Yes, that's it, you've done a good job, I'll reward you with 10 silver coins." Romon said to the old man, "Go to any of the stewards in Yuanfan Town and collect these specially!
"Yes, my lord!" Even though he was just a steward, the old man was not disappointed. Now that Luo Mengji had been established, if he wanted to get Luo Meng's attention again, this kind of small contribution was no longer enough. But as long as he persists, the old man believes that he can gain a place.
"Honey, it seems that things are serious, and I'm going to call a meeting."
"My lord, just go ahead!"
Romon nodded, ordered the servants to summon the manpower, left the garden by himself, and came to the meeting room.
Not long after, a group of people gathered after hearing the news.
"How are the pirates doing?" At this moment, Faffel pushed open the door of the meeting room, walked in from the outside, and asked as soon as he entered the meeting room.
"The battle was fierce. Not only did the pirates fight, but the merchant ships were also affected. It seems that this time it was really lively." Romon replied briefly.
"There is such a level?" Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, it was obvious at this time that Farfell sat down with a face full of excitement.
"Yeah, why, you want to join in the fun?" Nick said with a blank look at him.
"Who doesn't want to join in the excitement?" Farfell gave Nick a sideways look.
"It's a pity, do you know how to command the navy?" Nick didn't give in at all, sneered slightly, and looked at Farfell: "Or, do you have your own warship?"
"If you don't have any, how can you join in the fun? To be honest, your riding skills are good now, but you can ride a horse into the sea? Why are you staring at me? What I said is the truth!"
"You..." I was speechless at Nick's words,
Farfell sat down straight away.
Romon picked up the teacup and didn't speak.
Lu Lun also put milk in the tea.
Seeing this group of people like this, Farfell's face straightened: "I want to ask, can we intervene, or at least do something, a lot of our land is coastal, so we have to be prepared!"
"That's what you said... However, it doesn't seem to be our family's business to do something!" Luo Meng said with a hint of ambiguity.
After all, Fafeier is specialized in martial arts. Hearing this, he was a little confused.
He looked at Nick, who raised his glass with a smile on his face and drank it. He looked at Scholar Lulun again. Scholar Lulun gave him a very kind smile, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the smile was full of It smells like a fox.
"You guys look so mysterious again. Is there some information that I missed again?" After thinking about it, I think this is the only possibility. Farfell looked at Romon again with some depression.
"As for whether we can join in the fun, it depends on what the other lords want." Romon took a sip of tea and said very calmly.
"What do you mean?" Farfell became more confused as he listened.
"You, you are so stupid. The meaning is already obvious. That is to say, the behavior of the pirates fighting this time has too much impact. Once the sea area is monopolized by a certain pirate, it will pose a threat to the kingdom, so it will definitely cause the kingdom and the kingdom. Attention other nobles, at this time, we don't have to jump out, and with the strength of a territory, it is very unwise to fight a group of pirates who have lived at sea all year round." Nick explained from the side: " After all, we are not the only ones on the coast, and if we want to send troops, it must be a joint large-scale extermination of pirates!"
Farfell listened, and this time he looked at Scholar Lulun.
Scholar Lu Lun nodded with a smile: "Nick is right, that's what he means. If there is a real fight, it will not be a matter of a territory, but will become a big operation."
"It seems that we can only wait for a while." Hearing this, Farfer also realized what was going on, and he was too impulsive, so he could only sigh softly, and drank the water in a rather depressed mood. .
And at this moment, someone knocked on the door outside.
"What's the matter?" Romon asked.
To know. There are many guards outside the conference room, and the one who knocked on the door at this time must be the guards outside.
Sure enough, a guard's voice sounded outside quickly: "Master Baron, an envoy from Baron Shaka wants to see you."
The emissary of Baron Shaka? The people in the meeting room glanced at each other, and Romon said, "Please come in."
"yes."
Then, the door was pushed open, and several guards stood on both sides. A middle-aged man walked in from the outside, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a kind smile on his slightly round face. In the style of Baron Shaka.
"You are Baron Tetashaw?" After the visitor came in, he politely saluted everyone and asked.
"I am." Romon bowed slightly and said.
"Oh! Nice to meet you, Lord Baron Tetashaw. I am the envoy of Lord Baron Shaka. My name is Cairo. This is the letter that Lord Baron Shaka asked me to give you. Please check it." Seeing Romon, he immediately smiled more kindly, and even narrowed his eyes into a line. He took out a letter from his pocket and walked over.
"Okay. Let me take a look." Seeing that the other party handed the letter into his hand. But he didn't say that he wanted to leave immediately, so Romon understood what the other party meant, and knew that what was written in this letter must be very urgent, and he needed to reply immediately.
He took the letter out of the envelope, unfolded it, and looked at it carefully.
Just looking at it, the eyebrows immediately furrowed, but then relaxed slightly.
After reading the whole letter, there was only a faint smile on Romon's face: "Okay, please tell Baron Shaka for me, I accept his invitation."
"I'm glad you made this decision. I will tell my lord the baron." The messenger smiled and saluted Romon politely.
"Well, I'm sorry." Romon also politely returned a salute.
He also noticed that the person who came should also be a nobleman, and that kind of temperament cannot be imitated by ordinary people.
According to his judgment, this person may also come from the royal city. Although the title may not be as high as Baron Shaka, most of the attendants are incomparable. From the etiquette and temperament of the other party, it can be seen that the other party is also Well trained.
It wasn't until this person left that Romon's meeting resumed.
"Our guess just now has been confirmed. The man just now was sent by Baron Shaka. Baron Shaka invited me in a letter to form a fleet together for defense. Do you have any other ideas about this matter? En? "Romon asked directly.
"My lord, I have a question. If we jointly form a fleet, who will preside over it? How long will it take? Is it for the purpose of eradicating pirates, or for a long time?" Scholar Lulun asked calmly.
"Good question. According to what is mentioned in the letter, it is only for defense at present." Romon glanced at Scholar Lulun with admiration: "The specific matters will be discussed by people sent by the royal family. I think what we can do now , can only wait."
"That's the only way to go." Scholar Lulun, Nick and the others nodded.
As for Farfell, Haiwawei and the others, although they were eager to fight the pirates as soon as possible, they had to be cautious under the current circumstances.
According to Baron Shaka's letter, Romon will attend a noble meeting in three days.
And this day came soon, the meeting place was set at Baron Shaka's castle, and the nobles who came here to attend the meeting, surprisingly, only people from Romon's faction.
What was even more surprising was that there was an unexpected distinguished guest. Came here.
When this person arrived, Romon and the others were discussing what to do next, as soon as he entered, Baron Shaka stood up respectfully and bowed: "Count, it's a pleasure to see you again. "
"Earl?" Looking at the young man with a gentle smile in front of him, not only Romon, but also Baron Rocas opened his mouth wide in surprise. It's actually an earl?
The royal family actually sent an earl over?
But soon, Romon looked a little familiar, this person seemed to have seen him before! But when I think about it carefully, I really can't think of where I saw this person!
The count nodded to everyone with a smile, and the moment he met Romon's eyes, a smile appeared on the count's face: "Baron Tetasio, you can call me by my name—Shuxenya!"
However, this smile came and went quickly, except for Baron Shaka who saw it, no one else noticed the change of this smile at all.
Romon quickly replied: "My lord, you are too polite. If you have the grace to let me be your friend, please call me Romon!"
However, at this moment, he noticed that there was no territory prefix in front of the earl.
This means that this earl is just a court nobleman.
That is to say, there is no, or only an empty-frame aristocrat with two manors.
"Very good, Romon, I think it's a very good thing to be friends." The earl named Xiu Senya nodded and said, "And, I also came here with the king's will. "
"Yes, we are willing to listen to the king's will." Romon said, as soon as the earl came, he seemed to let the meeting go straight to a session.
Xiu Senya smiled, and read out the king's will at the meeting.
"...That's it. I became the deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy. According to the instructions of the will, you will be appointed as the commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Royal Navy." Xiu Senya said: "And the king hopes to formally sign a long-distance contract with you. It is an agreement that Sail Harbor will become the naval port of the Royal Navy."
Hearing this, Romon's thoughts were very complicated. The arrival of this Xiu Senya made him see the determination of the kingdom to exterminate the pirates, but perhaps exterminating the pirates might just be an excuse.
Perhaps it is their real purpose to send an earl and the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy to tightly control this land.
Romon thought of this. Of course, he still doesn't know whether Xiu Senya is still a prince of the royal family.
After thinking about it, Romon felt that it could still be used, and said, "Of course, I am willing to obey His Majesty's will."
Baron Rocas next to him sighed, but the son-in-law was still a little impulsive.
Is it possible to just agree to such a thing?
At least bargain with the king, otherwise, the king may feel that he can be bullied, and there will be new troubles next time.
