Chapter 276: Who's Calling the Fleet
It's easier to go up than to go down, and Carlos originally thought that Sylvie would ask Wigma to open another teleportation circle to send everyone back.
However, after negotiating the basics of cooperation, Steve Watson led the group on a walk of about two kilometers, and in a sheltered camp, Carlos saw a goblin-style airship.
"Praise Madames, Jack Sparrow is for you. β
Greenskin, goblins.
"Madam, your subordinates are really full of talents. β
Carlos couldn't help but complain.
"The Morgan consortium has a relatively wide range of business, and Treasure Bay has 17% of our shares. β
Sylvie Morgan calmly pulled out a pair of windproof goggles and put them on.
"Captain Jack, send our guests to Camp Four. β
"No problem, ma'am. β
When Steve Watson guided Carlos and his men to the airship, he locked the door.
"Uh!?Sylvie, aren't you coming with us?"
At a distance of more than twenty meters, Carlos shouted suspiciously.
"I still have some business, I need to go to Camp Seventeen down the mountain, we can see each other tomorrow, please don't worry. β
With that, Sylvie Morgan walked to the camp's material accumulation site, lifted a windproof and waterproof linoleum cloth, and rolled out a dump motorcycle. The mysterious mage Wigmar consciously sat down in the tipple, and then Sylvie Morgan lifted her skirt to her waist, revealing her tight leather pants and long boots, and rode on the means of transportation to wave goodbye to the people on the rising airship.
"Steve, what's the name of this mountain?"
"Mt. Akina. β
Carlos felt like he was messy in the wind.
Standing on the bow of the airship to blow the wind seems like a cool thing in the third person, but as a first-person person, Carlos feels his face tighten and his head hurts. The goblin airship has maintained an altitude of at least two thousand meters, and the lush forest under its feet is nothing to see. Carlos decided to go to the cabin to have a break and talk to Steve Watson.
About two hours later, the airship docked.
The Red Ridge Mountains stretch endlessly, and in a canyon crevasse, the Morgan consortium built what it called Camp Four.
I have to say, Captain Jack Sparrow is really good at piloting. The width of the top of the canyon crack is only fifty meters, and the width of the goblin airship is about thirty meters, and it is not an easy thing to lower the airship under such a primitive directional power control system.
"Your Majesty, it's time to stop, let's go down. β
Walking on the escalator that linked the airship, there was a lot of shaking, and although Carlos pretended not to care, his heart was still a little hairy. But not all the time there are people who want to harm me. The escalator was firm, and when he regained his foot, Carlos stomped his foot heavily, dispelling the subtle feeling of weightlessness in his body.
"This is one of our arsenals and material warehouses, which is very secretive, and Your Majesty can take a break. β
Steve Watson bowed, then led Carlos and his party to his room to rest.
Be careful when you're out and about, even if it seems like an ally at the moment. Carlos' guards still refused their hospitality.
Carlos has one room for one person, and two people are guarded indoors. Four people were guarded outside, and the other six were resting in another room no more than twenty meters from Carlos' residence.
Camp No. 4 was built on two walls of the canyon crevice, even if it was hidden and difficult to attack, it was difficult to evacuate in case of emergencies, which made the guards have to cheer up 120,000 points.
"Your Majesty, what the hell are the Morgan guys doing? I don't really understand what they're doing. β
Carlos was seen half-leaning on the bed reading a book. The guard hesitated for a moment, but voiced his doubts.
The personal guard who can be taken by Carlos is a talent worth cultivating.
Carlos doesn't like the kind of dumb people who only know how to carry out dead orders, loyalty is important, and thinking is more important. People who do everything by themselves are tired in the end, and only by erecting a common goal is the only way to move forward together.
So Carlos didn't mind answering his subordinates' doubts.
"Extrapolating from the conclusion, we need their help financially and influentably, and they need our military support. Since everyone needs each other, it is unlikely that they will turn their faces, and if there is anything you don't understand, you should watch the juggling tricks, and you don't have to mind too much. β
"But Your Majesty, there are too few guards around you! Although I personally think that you are invincible, no matter how strong your individual force is, it is not enough to match an entire army, and I am worried. β
Carlos opened his mouth, but at last said nothing, and continued to look down at the book.
It's acceptable for subordinates to show loyalty, but it's a bit disqualified to throw the troubles of being a leader at subordinates.
At dinner time, Steve Watson led Carlos and his party down from the layers of canyon buildings to the valley floor.
A whole cow was already roasted on the campfire, and the smell of honey and spices was everywhere.
You must know that roasting whole sheep and roasting whole beef is not easy to get these whole beast barbecues, you need to bake little by little over medium heat, and brush the seasoning on the meat layer by layer, so as to make the meat tender and let the flavor of the condiments infiltrate it. Generally, roasting sheep takes three to four hours to bake, and a big man like a cow does not have six to eight hours of non-stop roasting, and the meat on the surface is charred and the inside is still dripping blood.
The protruding rock wall overhead had been blackened by the smoke and fire, and the remnants of the smoke were blown away by the howling canyon wind, while Carlos and the others sat still.
"Your Majesty, this place is not bad, is it?"
Steve Watson pulled out the long dagger from his waist, cut off the most tender part of the cow's back, put it on a porcelain plate, and respectfully handed it to Carlos.
"You're going to enjoy it. β
Carlos replied not as asked.
Most people think that beef ribs or tendons are the best parts, but this is not the case. In addition to the water and tendons, just talking about the meat quality, the beef tenderloin is the best, the meat is tender and soft. And Steve Watson really cut the smallest part of the shoulder blade.
"Work needs, Your Majesty, you have forgotten, my market has to deal with various countries. If you don't know how to eat, drink and have fun, you can't do this job. β
Steve Watson's answer was watertight.
The look of the eyes stopped his subordinates from preparing for the drug test, and Carlos tasted it, and it tasted really good.
There are too many ways to kill people, so why use such a thankless method, and guard against it. To do so obviously to whom, this loyalty table is overdone.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much, let's be happy tonight, and I'll wait for Mrs. tomorrow to say what I have to say. β
How could a guy like Steve Watson, who was in aristocratic circles, not understand the form, first said the words, and then clapped his hands, and more than twenty decent maids came out with laughter to serve the guests of the campfire dinner.
β......β
Carlos' brow furrowed, but quickly calmed down.
Born in troubled times. If you say you die, someone will pay, so why stop your subordinates from indulging in pleasure for a short time.
Carlos' guards, you look at me, I look at you, and they all stare at Carlos at the end.
"Go, go. β
Waving his hand impatiently, Carlos ate roast beef to himself.
"Why don't you go?"
"I have a fiancΓ©e at home. β
"Why don't you go?"
"I'm Kei. β
"Ahem......"
Looking at the two guys following him, Carlos moved his ass quietly.
And Steve Watson's face did not change, and the wine bottle was poured for everyone.
The night was dark. On the northwest coastline of the wetlands, small boats are constantly going back and forth between warships and the coastline.
Muddy tidal flats are too dangerous. Even walking in casual clothes is in danger of falling in, and the precious mana of the mages is not willing to be used to bless the soldiers, so they can only be transported by boat.
The six warships remained as quiet as beasts in the mist, and Alterac's soldiers landed slowly and orderly.
"It's too slow, Your Majesty's whereabouts are unknown, and we're here to smoke. It's too slow!"
Ymir paced impatiently.
"General, Your Majesty has Your Majesty's considerations, and Your Majesty's decision is not yet our turn to question it. β
Carlos's face was not very good in the wetland, you Ymir is a great general, don't we have a day of promotion as a personal guard. Pose your face to whom.
"Leslin, is there any way to locate His Majesty's location?"
Ymir turned to the black-robed mage who was gathering herbs on the side and asked.
"No, there is, there is none. β
The black-robed mage replied with something in his words, but his attention was focused on the thorn grass in front of him.
"Don't worry about it, my king is wise and powerful, just do what he wants. β
Shrouded in dense fog and less than thirty meters of visibility, the voice of Sora Star Breaker was heard, but the man was nowhere to be seen.
After a while, the former High Elf Ranger came and jumped in front of everyone.
"The smell of blood?"
Leslin sniffled and asked suspiciously.
"Well, the fish-man eyes are a rare delicacy, anyway, there are horses after people get off, don't think about it before dawn, it's only right to get some supper. β
With that, Sora tossed a bloodied cloth bag to Leslin.
"Use silver leaf grass powder and ghost algae moss to remove the fishy smell, and add some thorn grass when roasting, the one in front of you is good. β
"I'll owe you one more time after I'm done, is my favor so cheap, you just need me to do something that serfs can do?"
Reslin's words did not fluctuate in the slightest, and it was completely impossible to refer to his mood.
"No, no, no, it's just that sooner or later you will owe me a favor, and it's a waste to keep it. β
After listening to Sora's speech, Reslin's eyelids twitched visibly.
If His Majesty hadn't named this female elf to accompany him, Ymir would have gone crazy, but at this moment, he could only ask respectfully, "Master Sora, how can we go to Your Majesty?"
"You ask me?"
"Yes. β
"Who do I ask?"
"You ......"
"Okay, no kidding you. Leslyn is afraid, I'm not afraid, and when the stars shine, I'll do divination. β
Although Ymir thinks that Sola is crazy, he does not doubt her ability and finally breathes a sigh of relief.
"Don't think I'm arrogant, everything we have now is given by Your Majesty, in case Your Majesty has three long and two short, and the kingdom falls apart, can you understand my feelings?"
After explaining to the guard, Ymir stopped talking.
For his own wayward king, General Ymir had a terrible headache.
Alterac now has an army of 70,000 empty, but he can't bring it up.
The alliance has requisitioned all the sea ships to prepare for the upcoming expedition to the south, and at this moment, the transfer of six warships from Nanhai Town is already the limit, you can't spread the news of your king's loss of contact south all over the world, right?
"Actually, I'm wondering, why don't you go back to the boat and ask the bricks, that guy must know something. β
Sora asked, bored, playing with dirt on her toes, tilting her head.
"I want to get Your Majesty back, and the Archmage of the Bricks will never disobey the king's wishes. β
After a moment's consideration, Ymir voiced his concerns.
"Do you want to make a decision for your own king?"
"Shouldn't the king's subordinates point out the king's mistakes?"
Finding that his voice was a little loud, causing the surrounding soldiers to watch, Ymir lowered his voice.
"All the monkeys on the mountain have started to stumble again while His Majesty is away, and the kingdom needs its king now!"
So, you're just a general, and Carlos is the king.
Sora understood Ymir's subtle hints, but she didn't care, and instead teased: "When we meet, I will blow the pillow wind with Carlos, you say he is the monkey king." β
"Come on, Your Majesty is not interested in you. β
Only in this regard, Ymir dared to joke with Sora.
"Not having it now doesn't mean that there won't be one in the future, it's easy for a woman to chase a man, and the old lady is so beautiful. β
Sola took the opportunity to put an end to the topic. (To be continued.) )
