Chapter 462 Victory (Part 2)
"Turn the rudder six degrees, full speed!"
"The wind speed is eight knots!"
"Keep an even speed!"
sunny. But the autumn wind was bitter, and there was an endless blue sea ahead, and the sailors on the deck kept shouting.
Battleships, with waves of splashes on the sea, are constantly advancing towards their destination. The sailors on the battleship are neatly dressed, behave in an orderly manner, and have serious expressions. They are really a model of soldiers.
There is no other reason, it is because they belong to the army with the strictest rules-the Royal Navy.
They are members of the Fourth Fleet, an elite navy under the Prince's banner.
With an enviable background and enviable treatment, you must also strictly demand yourself to become the best of the best.
This time, they were dispatched to the sea to carry out a mission to eliminate pirates, but what confused them was that in the order, the prince actually asked them to gather on an island first.
Maybe it's a unified arrangement. Then fight again, they thought.
"I don't know if we can win this time. Your Highness...needs a victory too much now." A naval official looked at the sea, still a little worried in his heart.
He is a close subordinate of the prince, named Hudson, thirty-five years old this year, and as the deputy commander of the Fourth Fleet, he naturally understands the prince's difficulties at this time.
Although being born in the royal family is extremely glorious and has a high status, it is not without disadvantages.
One is that you need to contribute to the royal family while enjoying the honor of the royal family, and the other is that as an ambitious prince, you need to make all kinds of efforts to defeat other competitors and become the winner in the end, otherwise the final outcome may be Worse than ordinary nobles.
At this moment, His Royal Highness the prince has left the royal city for a long time, but has achieved very little. If this continues, it is definitely not a good thing. He knows that the prince urgently needs a victory to prove himself. As a subordinate, Hudson also values this battle very much. Reminiscent of Wang's navy going out to sea a few days ago, he let out a soft breath. If the two fleets are fighting together, the chances of victory will be much greater. He is still very optimistic about the combat power of the Royal Navy under the command of the young nobles.
"My lord, that island is only ten nautical miles away from us." At this time, another person came to report.
Looking at the turbulent sea,
Hudson exhaled lightly, the navy is not easy, how many dangers are hidden in this seemingly calm sea, even the most experienced sailors, it is difficult to know all of them, right?
You know, in order to prevent the last storm crisis from happening again, when they went to sea again, several mages and druids had been arranged on board, all of whom were subordinates of the prince. Strength might come in handy.
However, an extremely dangerous thing still happened just now, when they just left the port. It just happened to pass through a section of foggy sea area, and as a result, it almost collided with several huge sea beasts coming from the opposite side. Fortunately, the mage and the druid cast spells together, using the deceptive nature of the spells, the group of huge and hard sea beasts staggered away from the battleship and swam over. Otherwise, it would easily cause damage to the ship.
In the thick fog, any danger is possible. They just missed the group of sea beasts, a battleship, and touched the reef.
One side of the ship even leaked water, and the mage on the ship cast magic in time to block the gap with magic power, which temporarily relieved the crisis.
After this crisis occurred, the ships started to move slowly. When they got out of the foggy sea area, they were not far from the destination island. They did not arrive within the time stipulated by the prince. One by one They all looked a little uneasy.
"Okay, hurry up, if it's too late, His Royal Highness will definitely blame you." Looking at the uneasy expression of the person who reported it, Hudson shook his head and ordered. He knows the prince's temper. Sometimes he is smart and wise, but sometimes he has a bad temper. It is a typical dual personality. He only hopes. This time the prince was able to be less angry.
After all, there was a reason why they came late. No one knew that there would be a sudden thick fog on the sea. In this case, it was easy to get lost, especially on the sea with no reference on all sides.
After a brief silence, the sailors picked up speed. The voices from the ship kept coming.
"Be careful! There is a reef ahead! It's right in front of you! Hurry up and go around!" A mage suddenly spoke. There was a wave of magic used.
"Turn the rudder..." The sailor quickly moved.
The sound of splashing water kept coming, and the waves were beating against the side of the ship, while Hudson stood quietly in front of the battleship, watching the island getting closer and closer to him.
The figures on the edge of the island are already clearly visible. It can be seen that they are all regular servants and soldiers, but they are the signs of the two territories. It seems that the young baron is also very likely to be on this island. On top of that, Hudson affirmed his guess more and more. It seems that this time, the prince is going to join forces with the Royal Navy to deal with the pirates.
He didn't guess the truth of the matter until he went ashore.
"Your Highness, I'm late." Hudson respectfully saluted the prince.
"Oh, what's the matter?" the prince asked in a good mood.
Hudson explained one by one, while observing the prince's face, the prince's face remained motionless, appearing very calm.
When he finished speaking, he pondered for a moment. Only then said: "Since it's a special situation, it's exempt, but come here, I have an important matter for you."
"Yes, my lord!" Hudson said respectfully, but following the prince's words, his expression became more and more surprised.
When Hude learned that the Baron Tetashaw was willing to give half of the victory to the prince, his face couldn't help being moved, and he looked into Romon's eyes, revealing a trace of gratitude.
After all, my lord really needed a victory, and when His Highness needed it the most, the victory came like this. It was really hard for people not to admire that generous man.
Of course, the deal between Romon and the prince was kept secret, and the prince couldn't tell his subordinates. Therefore, it was beyond his expectation that Romon got extra gratitude from some of the prince's cronies.
In fact, His Royal Highness only knew that Romon had won the battle, and wanted to share the fruits of victory with him. As for the truth of the battle, only Romon, Aiweixi, and Vardenwen were insiders, and it was impossible for the three of them to pass the news on. The one who leaked out.
Afterwards, the members of the two fleets who agreed on the lines happily boarded the battleship and returned to Hong Kong together.
Although the prince still wants to spend more time on the island, the island is already his own, and there will be plenty of opportunities to come in the future, not at this moment.
So, after going out to sea for a stroll, the prince's navy returned together with the Wang family's navy who went to sea a few days ago. At the same time, they brought back news that they joined forces to defeat the pirates.
Suddenly, the whole area was shocked.
"What did you say? They won? They returned together?" In the mansion of Viscount Edel in Arpus City, the heavy low air pressure made it hard to breathe.
Lord Viscount Edel has been in a good mood recently. At least, I was in a good mood until I got the news.
The reason is very simple, the Earl who was originally sent from above did not have an inch of merit, and his once arrogant appearance disappeared, which made him feel very refreshed.
At the same time, Baron Tetashaw, who had been going smoothly, failed at sea first and disappeared for many days. Although he finally returned with his life, his reputation has been affected.
Although the incident in the border forest shocked the entire county, even he was frightened, but his territory was far away from that forest.
He doesn't have to worry about his territory at all, but the young Baron Tetashaw has a large territory located in the edge of the forest. Even if this Baron Tetashaw will not fight with the elves in the forest, the whole The elite of the Church of the Lord of Radiance in the county has been lost in the edge forest. The Church of the Lord of Radiance and the elves in the forest are definitely in an endless situation. In this case, the forest family will definitely be implicated , and these troubles have nothing to do with him, Viscount Edel will naturally feel happy when he thinks of these.
However, right now, his mood has obviously become worse.
The young earl who had been dormant for a long time actually hooked up with Baron Tetashaw again, and, after jointly fighting against the enemy, they won a big victory. I heard that they also won two rich big The island, the island has a vast area, fertile land, and a suitable climate. This kind of good thing is definitely much greater than the confusion caused by the troubles in the edge forest.
With this victory, if the earl from the royal city helps Baron Tetasio again, it is very likely that the current Baron Tetasio will soon become a viscount, with the same status as himself.
Thinking of this, Viscount Aidell's mood became extremely bad.
He glanced at the attendant kneeling in front of him, and told him to back down with a gloomy expression. Sitting alone in the room with a gloomy face, no one was seen.
Different from his depression, when he got the news of the victorious return of the two fleets, the nobles and businessmen in the county all welcomed them, and they even formed a team, on both sides of the street, at the port of Yuanfan Town, where the navy would pass by , welcome in groups.
Seeing the welcome from the people, merchants, and minor nobles on both sides, Romon nodded secretly.
And then, the gifts from these people fell like raindrops. After a while, the firm sent a cart of gifts, and after a while, the nobleman brought a team of sponsors. For a while, where the two fleets were, the gifts There are more than hills piled up.
Romon was very happy about this, and he generously distributed half of the gift to the prince's team. However, the prince felt that he had not made any real contribution, so he refused.
Since the other party didn't want it, Romon was naturally happy to accept all of them, so these things were brought back to Tetashaw's collar, and for a while, a small fortune was made. (!)
