Chapter 389: I Need a Fleet

"Look, it's here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" said a lean man, smiling.

He was a farmer in a small town, and he had been to Gdansk once, but he was forced to go back within two months, and the pressure of competition in this big city was too great to survive without a few skills.

The residual sleepiness that had just woken up had passed away from Zheng Fei's face, and Zheng Fei sat on his horse and stretched his neck, looking at the city on the shores of the Baltic Sea, in the light of dawn.

Town.

It's a big city, far less prosperous than Istanbul and Venice, but it's definitely a big port, and it's the lifeblood of both Poland and Germany.

With a distinctive Nordic atmosphere, red triangular roofs with falling snow, children climb up to the rooftops and smash snowballs at the "enemies" on the rooftops of the opposite street, which is their favorite activity in winter, and in the summer, they like to walk together to the edge of the city, to the Baltic Sea to collect shells or swim.

The seaside city is really nice and the life is much richer, unlike in the hinterland, where children can only chase and run in the fields and catch rabbits.

Well, in fact, each has its own merits, and perhaps the children of the inland and seaside will look forward to each other.

A huge convoy was eye-catching wherever it went, not to mention the fact that it was escorted by 4,000 Spartan warriors with their heads held high, and it felt like an army had entered the city.

In the season when the snow is gone, people are wrapped in thick cotton jackets, hawkers pushing carts on the streets, pedestrians wandering and stopping, and drunks in the tavern who drink five or six people, all twist their heads to stare at this group of uninvited guests, their eyes full of curiosity.

In addition to curiosity, there is also a little panic.

Is there going to be a war? Reinforcements have been brought in? They speculated.

"Where did such a large army come from?!, are the sentinels outside the city all rice buckets?!" the mayor shouted in the middle of the city, on the top floor of the castle, with his hands propped on the window.

It is not the sentinel who eats the bucket, but himself.

For hundreds of years, the only force fighting for Gdansk was the German army from the west, so he arranged the defensive forces and sentinels on the west side of the city, and Zheng Fei's group came from the southeast, where there was not even a city gate.

The leader never imagined that a large army of several thousand men would travel thousands of miles and last nearly two months to finally arrive here.

This is impossible in anyone's eyes, because no army can carry enough supplies to last two months, and there are not enough funds.

"Lord Mayor, they don't seem to be enemies......" Behind the mayor, his subordinate said resignedly, for fear of angering this bad-tempered fellow.

"Of course I do! I'm angry that reinforcements were sent from above without informing me, and that I was treated as a restaurant in Gdansk, just as I said?!"

The mayor raised his beard, cursed a few words, straightened the collar of his coat, and prepared to meet the group.

There were several taverns on both sides of the street, and it happened that the convoy was running out of wine, so many sailors jumped out of the car to buy it themselves, and the queue in front of each tavern was dozens of meters long, and those who bought it quickly ran back with barrels and bottles, worried about being dropped by the convoy.

The tavern owner smiled, he didn't expect that the arrival of this group of people would make him a lot of extra profits, well, well, I heard that there would be another war in a month, so I just used the money and savings to buy a big ship, and sailed across the Baltic Sea to the Kingdom of Denmark on the other side of the sea, I heard that it was a powerful country, and the territory was large, and it was very suitable for settlement.

In this era, Denmark formed an alliance with Norway and Sweden, with Denmark as the leader, and the territory covered almost all of Northern Europe.

"Captain, where are we stopping?" asked Ares, who was staring at him with a hairy gaze.

"No need to stop, someone will come to us. Zheng Fei smiled: "Oh, aren't those people in front of you." ”

At the intersection ahead, an army of hundreds of men stood, holding an iron shield in his left hand and a spear in his right.

And the mayor was hiding behind the army, protected.

"There won't be any danger, will it?" Ares subconsciously touched the hilt of the knife, ready to draw it.

"Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter if it's dangerous, how many of them do you think Spartan can do?"

"Well, too. Ares relaxed, took a slow fuss of the flask, and took a sip in his mouth.

In this way, the convoy gradually approached the intersection.

"Stop!" The officer in front of the array suddenly burst out with a roar that belonged only to professional soldiers, full and powerful.

Zheng Fei raised his arm and signaled the convoy to stop.

Amid the creaking of wheels, the thousand-meter-long convoy came to an abrupt halt, silent under the gaze of the Gdanskers.

If you look down from the sky, it's not spectacular.

Time seemed to stand still, dull for a long time.

Seeing that the other party really had no enemies, the mayor boldly emerged from behind the array, and walked to the front of the array under the protection of two shield soldiers who specialized in blocking attacks.

"Where did you get reinforcements?" the mayor asked, looking serious.

"Reinforcements?"

"Olsztyn?Koshalin?" said the mayor, who was in charge of Gdansk, who believed that he had more skills than all the mayors in the vicinity, and that such a battleground was not something that anyone could manage.

In fact, the king sent him to be mayor only because he didn't want him to stay in the capital, and the king hated him because his son always liked to hook up with the king's youngest daughter.

However, before the mayor came here, he was indeed a big man of prominent status, and he was also a duke at any rate, and he had an innate arrogance in him.

"We are not your reinforcements. Zheng Fei smiled and shrugged.

Hearing this, the mayor couldn't help but take a step back, and the people watching from the street began to be agitated.

"Don't panic, we're not enemies either. Zheng Fei added.

"And who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Just passing through. ”

"Passing by? Oh, what a ridiculous reason, the north of the city is the Baltic Sea, you are from the south, passing by my city are going somewhere, the sea?"

"Yes, it's the sea. ”

"Maniac. The mayor muttered in a low voice, but felt that the other party did not seem to be joking, so he rolled his eyes and cleared his throat: "You are not going to the Kingdom of Denmark, are you?"

"That's right. ”

"But such a large convoy ......," he said, the mayor craned his neck to look at the convoy, but he couldn't see his head.

"With such a large convoy, you can only wait for the day when the Baltic Sea freezes over, but that is impossible. ”

"So I need a large fleet to carry it. Zheng Fei looked calm.

There was silence for a moment, and the mayor sneered.

"Ridiculous, do you know how ridiculous you say, your convoy will have to call in at least two hundred large ships, which is equivalent to the entire maritime capacity of Gdansk......"

The mayor was about to continue to prove that the other party was ridiculous, but the words that came to his lips were forcibly blocked.

"I can give you money. ”

Zheng Fei said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
