Chapter 745: Sending Troops (Part 1)
Villas, stone walls and iron gates.
The floor is paved with stone slabs. It won't hurt when it rains.
In the garden, there are exquisite sculptures. Generally speaking, nobles have these sculptures, and they have been accumulated little by little over the centuries.
But now, these are sent by others, or to celebrate, or to praise.
Of course, these sculptures are checked.
Romon passed by absent-mindedly, ignoring the saluting guards, and only when he entered his study, he ordered: "I have something to do, if it's nothing serious, don't bother me!"
"Yes, my lord!"
After the butler left, Romon sat down on a wicker chair, next to a small table, the window was facing the small table, and the bright afternoon sun was shining. Just took a picture.
On the small table, there are several documents, which he plans to review in the afternoon.
But at this moment, Romon didn't have any thoughts.
The setting sun was shining, and it was the beginning of June at this time. Insects and birds were flying outside, but in the room, there was silence.
Romon, who had calmed down, had a feeling of not knowing what to do.
Horror, joy, seems to have it all.
As he sighed and pondered, time passed by.
...
"I want to see the lord!" A man dressed as an officer said to the servant of the mansion: "I have the information that Lord Nick ordered to send quickly."
"Wait a while, I'll report to the steward and the master!" The servant listened, said, then turned and ran into the house.
The servant ran back quickly, walked through the corridor, and came to the butler first.
This butler is the one chosen by Eleni herself. He looks about forty years old and has a touch of nobility. The face was expressionless. But it has a broad forehead and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
"Sir, there is an officer outside saying that there is something important to report right now, do you think it is appropriate to report?" The servant lowered his head,
Asked respectfully and softly.
In this mansion, which is about to be promoted to an earl, the rules are very strict, and there must be no confusion at all.
These rules were established by Eleni after investigating the rules of the earl's house.
Once there is a mistake, the lighter is exchanged for a whip.
The worst is to be expelled.
The errands here have a good salary, and there is also the possibility of becoming an officer outside of literacy. No one wants to go back to the fields and work hard all day like those farmers.
"What's the important thing?" the butler asked.
"I don't know, I just know that it was Sir Nick who sent someone to pass it on." The servant said.
The butler pondered for a while, although it was just a trivial matter, it was his responsibility.
Just now the master said, don't disturb, if you go, you may get scolded and dissatisfied by the adults.
but. If there was something important, it wouldn't be a matter of scolding if he didn't report it in time - he didn't want to get out and manage a small village.
"Then, let me meet you." The butler finally said.
Ten minutes later, I arrived at the study on the third floor. There were two attendants standing at the door of the study. They were specially arranged by the butler, lest someone with closed eyes disturb the lord's meditation.
"Hey, are you sure that this matter is very important? The master has ordered that no one should be disturbed." The butler finally asked in a low voice.
"I'm sure Mr. Nick, let me tell the lord quickly, this is a very important matter." The officer said with great certainty.
The butler nodded and knocked on the door of the study.
After a while, a gentle but obviously dissatisfied voice came from the study: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"
"My lord, Mr. Nick has sent a messenger, saying that he has something very important to tell you." The butler said immediately.
There was a moment of silence, and after a while, Romon ordered: "Come in!"
The officer was tall, but when he walked into the living room, he was very restrained. The young man in front of him was a lord who held the power to kill and seize 40,000 people.
"Don't be restrained, tell me, what's the matter?" At this moment, Romon had completely calmed down. Seeing the restraint of the visitor, he said with a smile.
The officer relaxed a little, and said, "Master Nick, tell me to inform you of this information immediately."
"Well, sit down, I'll give you an answer after I read it." Romon took an encrypted document and said casually.
"Yes, my lord!" The officer sat down on the opposite side carefully.
"Are dozens of pirates appearing in the nearby waters?" Romon's face suddenly became gloomy.
All the people responsible for scouting the situation at sea have returned, and the news they brought back is not very optimistic.
According to their maritime reconnaissance during this period of time, there were not one or two pirates that appeared frequently in the previous period. There were dozens of pirates just after they detected them. They were distributed in different directions and occupied different small towns Island, if you really want to solve it, it will be very troublesome.
A sea mark map is the colony of dozens of pirates detected, and Romon holds that mark map in his hand. Look carefully.
What is shown on the marked map is a feeling of blooming everywhere.
Romon rubbed his temples, and there were so many at once, he had a premonition.
"The elves have ravaged the three coastal kingdoms and looted them all. They feel that there is no oil and water, and they are coming to us again? These pirates are the human pirates they recruited. They use human pirates to test and consume the power of the nearby sea. Elf, you are really cunning, but if you think that there is nothing I can do about you, then you are wrong."
"Elf, no matter what the relationship is, since you have come to provoke me, you have to pay for it." Romon said in a low voice coldly, squeezing the chart in his hand tightly.
Afterwards, he issued an order to prepare the boat immediately, and he was going to visit Prince Xiu Senya.
On Lantu Island, Prince Xiu Senya was walking in his small garden. It was already the beginning of June, and the temperature was gradually rising. Walking beside the garden with a small pool, Prince Xiu Senya was in a good mood.
At this time, he received a report from his servants that Viscount Tetashaw had arrived.
Before Romon came, he had already received the notice, so he was not surprised. He went out to welcome Romon in, and the two sat down at a small table.
"Hey, Romon, you seem to have changed again?"
"What change?"
"I can't tell, it seems that you want to understand something."
"Haha, maybe, yes, I have some information to tell you." Romon laughed and went straight to the point, and told Prince Xiusenya about the pirates he had obtained.
The complexity of the matter was somewhat beyond Prince Xiu Senya's expectation.
"There are dozens of pirates active? It seems that the situation is not good, and it may indeed be the temptation of the elves!"
Originally, Prince Xiu Senya had a dispensable attitude towards this, but when he heard that the situation of pirates was so serious, he immediately attached great importance to it.
"Based on this situation, we have two fleets. It is quite difficult to eliminate these pirates." Prince Xiu Senya thought for a while, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "Perhaps, it is time for a joint operation. "
For a moment, Romon didn't understand what he meant.
Prince Xiu Senya showed a sneer: "I mean, you can invite another fleet to come over. In this way, you go back first and wait for my news. Within half a month, there will be a result."
Romon nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for your news, but it's better to be quicker, the longer the time drags on, the more the pirates will affect our route, and we can only fight quickly Only these pirates can make the elves behind them have some scruples and not move towards us, otherwise, there will be a big problem."
"Don't worry, I know the seriousness, I will handle the matter well, we are allies!" Prince Xiu Senya said with a smile.
After sending Romon out of the island, Prince Xiu Senya ordered the left and right to say: "Send a magic letter to the capital and report the situation of the pirates here, explaining that the elves have traces of moving to our sea area, and request to dispatch the third fleet. .”
Brother, let me see how strong you are!
Prince Xiu Senya twitched the corners of his mouth and said in his heart.
And Romon, who returned to the territory, immediately summoned the naval captain Shakat.
"Shakat, how much naval power do we have now? Have you replenished the lost naval officers?" Romon asked directly when he saw him.
"My lord, we have nine warships over 500 tons, and thirty-one other small and medium-sized ships. Our strength is already very strong. The naval officers and soldiers who were originally lost last year have all been replaced."
"After the baptism of battle, I can say that our current navy has completely surpassed last year, whether it is the tonnage of ships or the quality of soldiers."
"Hearing what you said, I'm much more relieved. You can read the information." Romon handed him the document.
"Yes, my lord!" Shakat took it over to read, and after reading it, his face changed slightly.
"Why, see?"
"Yes, my lord, the temptation of the elves has come."
"Very well, it's good that you understand. We must join forces in an operation to completely repel the pirates and fight back the temptation of the elves. Therefore, your responsibility is very heavy."
"Also, for this operation, we will recruit multiple priests, mages, and knights to participate."
"As for which knight will participate, I haven't considered it yet."
"Yes, my lord!" Shakat's heart shuddered, feeling Romon's decision. This was the first time in the territory that the lord dispatched knights to participate in the naval battle!
"It's just that the navy has its own rules. When a knight goes to sea..." He hesitated for a moment, but continued.
"I will think about this matter in the future, so you don't have to worry about it." Romon waved his hand and interrupted: "Your task now is to make preparations within the scope of the navy."
"Yes, my lord!" Shakat's heart trembled again. After not seeing him for a few days, the lord seemed much more resolute. (!)
