Chapter 288: On the way
"It's the Angie Bena, a friendly ship, the battle alert has been lifted, and all personnel are on standby. Explorer Captain Donic breathed a long sigh of relief, not only because he had a heavier responsibility on his shoulders than anyone else, but also because he knew that the trip was potentially risky.
Before leaving, Woody, the commander of the Angry Waves Navy, personally approached him and asked him that there were signs of the Kingsley family playing ghosts behind his back, and there was a high chance that assassins would be sent to assassinate the lord.
If the lord of the lord hurts a hair on his ship, he, the captain of the three main warships, does not have to be the captain.
Soon, the Angie Bena, a fellow of the Explorer, approached.
Compared to the Explorer, the Angie Bena is a little smaller, and it is the fastest of the five.
Although produced by the same shipyard, in the hands of different people, the style is different.
The Explorer adheres to the usual philosophy of the Eternal Night Commander, simple and practical, black and white, without any bells and whistles.
The Angie Bena was later equipped with a part of the structure, the huge red cross, as eye-catching as it was, like a water hospital, more than a warship.
Angel Bena passed the bridge and jumped onto the Explorer, her temperament was still so naughty and jumpy, and when she saw Sean, an exaggerated expression appeared on her smooth little face: "Are you going to be knighted, or are you going to attack the royal capital? Are you not afraid of causing a misunderstanding?" or are you directly stopped by someone?"
"It's really going to war. Sean said with a serious face.
"Huh?" Angel Bena stared at the boss with a dull look and big round eyes, apparently this answer was not what she expected.
"Business is like a battlefield, we are not going to war, what are we going to do?" Sean said with a forced smile.
"You're kidding me!" "Angel Bena is like a kitten being teased, trying to scratch Sean with her teeth and claws, but Sean stretched out her arm and pressed her little head, no matter how hard she tried, she was more than ten centimeters away from Sean, and the height difference was too great.
Affected by the power of her own magic, Angelbena's physical development is very slow, and she has a baby face, which makes her appear to be several years younger than her peers.
After the disease was eradicated, he had already passed the age of development, even if he was stimulated by the power of magic, he developed for the second time, and he jumped up and down very hard, and he barely broke through one meter five, and finally he was no longer so frustrated.
But it depends on who you compare with, and in front of Sean, who is tall and nine meters, he has to look up.
As for McGee the Skullcrusher and the Kentana Barbarians, Angie Bena never came in front of them, because it was a critical blow to her young mind, the kind of ninety-nine hundred and ninety-nine in one slash.
"Okay, don't make trouble, you are now a person with status, pay attention to your image, and thank you for coming to see me off. "Unconsciously, the two have known each other for ten years, well, the previous indirect communication is not counted, and the relationship between the two parties has not changed with the change of status, which is what makes Sean feel gratified, I hope it can continue to be maintained in the future, but it is very difficult, because when it comes to their current position, sometimes personal preferences are secondary, and the relationship between forces is the main thing.
"Whoever said I was here to see you off, I will also go with you, with the Angie Bena, to make a name for you. Angel Bena said angrily.
"It's still troublesome, if you leave with the Anjibena, you're not afraid that your hometown will be copied, your two brothers, but they covet the riverside port you control. Sean said angrily.
"The Angie Bena can not go, but you have to take my ten merchant ships, our original alliance agreement is very clear, the interests are equal, you can't get rid of me this time." Angie Bena still snorted.
"I'm really convinced of you, you're a bandit now, you want to get involved in everything, didn't you just say that the size of my fleet is too big?" Sean said helplessly.
He knew that this little fox was too profitable to be early, and he would not use such a big battle to see him off.
"Since you dare to prepare for such a big battle, you must have communicated with our dear princess, what am I afraid of? I don't have your great ability, so you can only eat meat in front, and I will follow behind to pick up some leftovers to eat. Angelena looked pitiful, as if she had been eating scraps all these years.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful here, which one of the benefits will be missing for you? Can the leftovers raise you so fat? I can give you the boat, but I am not responsible for the sales. Sean didn't refuse.
Let's not talk about the relationship between the two parties, even if it is unfamiliar to make such a request, he will not refuse, after all, there is no loss to them.
As for commodity competition, there is no way to talk about it, not to mention that most of the specialties of the two sides are different, and even if their current fleet is increased by hundreds or thousands of times, it will not be enough to satisfy Valesta's big appetite.
"Naturally, you just need to carry them to the ground smoothly and don't be robbed. Angel Bena laughed like a little fox who had stolen something, hugged Sean hard, and ran away as fast as he could, lest he regret it, "Thank you, when you go to the royal capital, those old bastards who helped me repair and repair the heraldic courtyard still don't recognize my earldom." ”
"I try. Sean replied perfunctorily.
Although he had never been to the royal capital Valesta, Sean was no stranger to it, and all the information about it in the archives was stacked up to three people high.
The Heraldic Academy, the department that influenced the process of reviewing the lord's position, was once the focus of their attention.
This department seems to be very detached, but in fact it is not out of the control of the Grand Dukes, most of the time, it is just a mouthpiece, and the final representative is the opinion of the Grand Dukes.
If they didn't have the support of the Grand Duke's family, where would they get so much power and confidence?
When he is full of food and support, he will go to trouble a group of puppets in his seventies and eighties, and in his life, it is estimated that he will deal with them like this.
After this small episode, the Eternal Night Army led the fleet and set sail again, and the fleet was even larger.
Then in the fiefdom of the princess regent, it grew by three points, not only more than 20 merchant ships of the princess regent, but also the Rose, and it was still at the front of the way.
As Angie Bena guessed, this was already communicated, and if there was no princess regent's warship to open the way ahead, such a large fleet, let alone enter the royal capital Valesta, would not even have a chance to approach it.
Although the Eternal Night Commander had the advantage of foresight, he occupied a large part of the trade in the middle and upper reaches of the Jacob River.
In the past few years, the Lancelot royal family has not been idle, not only integrating the original ships, but also ordering a large number of punts from the Eternal Night Lord, the Cummins family and the Witches' Secret Order at the same time to build up their own water power.
Now that the initial results have been achieved, it may not be possible to take the initiative to attack, and it is more than enough to block the river and defend Valesta.
Amelia the Red Rose jumped over from the Rose and asked Sean, "How are you practicing the etiquette of the nobility?"
"It shouldn't be a problem. When answering this question, Sean was a little weak-hearted.
After three hundred years of development and evolution of the Byron League, the noble lords formed a set of red tape that they considered elegant, especially in public occasions such as knighthood, which was even more demanding to the extreme, not only strict requirements for words and deeds, but also exquisite clothing.
Princess Regent Sophia is very thoughtful, and she has already thought of this piece, and when it was determined that Sean would go to the royal capital Valesta to be knighted, she selected two experienced court etiquette masters early and sent them to the Eternal Night Army Commander to make up for Sean's misfortune.
It was definitely a painful experience to look back on, and it reminded him of the experience he didn't like the most in his previous life, and every minute and every second was torment.
When the whole body is full of resistance, learning is naturally not very attentive.
"What do you mean it should be no problem? This is not only your business, do you want His Highness's face to be lost with you? For the remaining three days, I will personally supervise the training and check your training. Amelia the Red Rose said with a straight face.
"It's over. Sean's heart howled, in the past two years, Amelia has been serving as the special envoy of the Princess Regent's exchange mission, living in the Eternal Night Commander, there are not many opportunities for the two sides to deal with each other, and Sean has a full understanding of her female demon nature.
In her hands, it is definitely a brutal devil training, what kind of did he just make, he should answer with confidence yes, but according to the other party's character, it is estimated that there will be intensive training and the like waiting for him.
And so it is.
Although Sean didn't have much confidence in answering, when he really did it, there was basically no big problem, after all, he now has the ability to remember, and his imitation ability is even more top-notch.
His lack of self-confidence just stems from his own psychological rejection, and when he really plays, he will naturally remember it.
But she can't stand Amelia's excellence and picking bones in her eggs, and she can't run at all in intensive training, and strives to be perfect.
In addition to training aristocratic etiquette, it is an ordeal.
The Eternal Night Army led the fleet, and this journey can be called smooth sailing, and the only trouble that arose was not that people took the initiative to provoke them, but that they were chasing after them.
has exterminated several groups of water thieves and water thieves who have been rampant recently, and even people's nests have been burned to the ground.
Now is the best time for Jacob River to develop, and at the same time the most chaotic.
Because of the weakness of the official power, the Eternal Night Warlord took advantage of the situation and seized the trade opportunity, and at the same time, it also allowed those rangers to take advantage of the situation.
Especially the section from Valesta to the fiefdom of Princess Regent, the chaos is the most severe.
After all, there was the existence of the Eternal Night Army Leader upstream, and they were completely strangled before they could emerge.
Further in, after crossing the territory of his ally Princess Regent, let alone warships, it was very difficult for merchant ships to enter and exit.
The princess regent wants to clear the river, and she has such strength, but the problem is that the owners of the river do not agree with the princess regent's warship to set foot in their territory.
First, I am afraid that the princess regent will have bad intentions and want to take this opportunity to embezzle their interests.
The second is that these forces on the river have more or less to do with them, and some of them are even directly supported by themselves as tools for accumulating wealth.
The princess regent is still reasoning with them because of her own identity, but when it comes to Sean, when she arrives at the Eternal Night Army, it doesn't matter if she is thirty-seven twenty-one.
Kill them first, can they still bite him?
I can't beat it again, and the only thing I can do is to call out twice in front of the princess regent.
But the question is, who does the princess regent prefer, or two words.
Let's not talk about the alliance between the two families, just talking about the princess regent's hatred for them, it is impossible to stand up for them, at most it is to make peace with the mud, and it will not be over.
The follow-up of the Kingsley family's transfer of the tiger from the mountain guessed by the Eternal Night Commander - capture the thief and capture the king first, until Sean's feet set foot on the royal capital Valesta, and there was no human figure, and the trap package carefully prepared by the Eternal Night Leader for them had no room to play, which made Sean full of regrets.
In order to lure them into the bait, he also consciously created a lot of gaps along the way, giving them a chance to touch the merchant ships, but they were more cunning and careful than expected, and never took the bait.
Sean was also counting on the opportunity to eat several of the Kingsley family's champion knights.
The ease of transportation brought by the Jacob River is incomparable.
In particular, there is basically no big drop in this section of the Plain of Asia Minor, and it is quite convenient to go down the river.
Even though the fleet of the Eternal Night Army was very large, and the speed was slow because it was full of cargo, it would only take a week to get out of the Twin Cities.
This is because they stop at night and walk during the day, and if they travel for twenty-five hours day and night, they can reach it in three days and three nights.
If it was before, every time the princess regent returned to her fiefdom, she would have to go for nearly a month, although this had something to do with her inspection and handling of government affairs, and many places had to do a short stay, but even if she let go, there was no way to do it without two weeks.
Because even if the people can hold on, the animals can't hold on, and when they run down in a circle, the people are sleepy and the horses are tired.
How can he be as carefree and swaying as Sean, the king will arrive, and he will do whatever he needs to do on the ship, without delay at all.
It would have been perfect without the enhanced training of court etiquette supervised by Amelia herself.
The fleet of hundreds of ships caused a sensation along the way.
Those lords and nobles, one by one, like ostriches, buried their heads in the earth, pretending not to be seen.
Sean didn't feel much of it, but Amelia the Red Rose scolded regardless of her image.
The lords and nobles of the Byron Alliance have all degenerated into cowards and afraid of death, and they are no longer the brave warriors they used to be, and it is simply a shame that the entire alliance is entrusted to them to guard.
This is still the fleet of allies, and if it is the enemy's fleet, they will also let it go straight in, and it will not be possible to attack their own king?
Forget that Princess Regent's Rose is in front of her.
If they come forward to intercept and accidentally slap the horse's leg on the horse's leg, then it is called a wrong.
Just turn a blind eye.
The situation did not change until it approached the royal capital fifty kilometers, and the escort fleet of the slave royal capital met it head-on.
Because of the inaction of the lords and nobles in front, the commander of the royal capital naval army who risked his life to intercept it was very commendable, and Amelia did not feel the slightest sense of being rushed, and almost praised the young and vigorous commander to the sky, making him flattered.
Unconsciously, it went from interception to escort along the way.
Soon more royal escort fleets heard the news, but they had apparently received orders from the princess regent, and they only supervised and monitored along the way, and did not make things difficult.
There is no harm without contrast.
The escort fleet of the royal capital used to be majestic and large-scale.
But compared to the envoy fleet carefully selected by the Eternal Night Commander, it is more than a step behind.
The fleet of the Eternal Night Army is very unified in terms of shape and color, not only warships, but also merchant ships, the white mountain and black water flags are waving in the wind, lined up in formation, and sailing at a constant speed, it is really majestic and majestic, and it has a great visual impact.
Compared to the feeling of a regular army led by the Eternal Night Army.
Valesta escorts the fleet, that's a ragtag army in every bite.
