Sauron chuckled inwardly, paused for a moment, and turned his head to look. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Are you...... Tukman ?"
"It's me! long time no see, Lord Sauron!" Tukman excitedly ran over to take his hand, and looked him from head to toe with a look of surprise.
Zheng Fei frowned, and heard very clearly that Tukman called him Lord Sauron.
A duke called a small officer like this, and it seems that this officer really has a background.
"Do you know each other?" Zheng Fei asked with a smile.
"More than 20 years of friendship. Tukman laughed uncontrollably, staring into Sauron's eyes: "I really didn't expect to see you here, we all thought you had... He's dead. ”
"I was saved by a family and saved my life. Sauron smiled indifferently, reluctant to mention the past.
At this time, he noticed Zheng Fei's eyes full of questions and curiosity, pondered for a moment, and shook his head helplessly.
"Well, before joining the army, I was an exiled prince, the younger brother of the current King of Denmark. ”
Although Zheng Fei thought that he must not be an ordinary person, this result still exceeded expectations.
"Eight years ago, because of my opposition to the expeditionary plan, I was exiled to the cold northern regions to become an ordinary lumberjack, cutting down the wood needed to build warships. One day I escaped while the guards were not looking, and I went to Skagen, where I settled incognito and got a warm family. I thought I could escape the clutches of war, but after only two years of good times, I was forced to join the army and joined the famous Arna Legion, where I have remained until now. ”
After saying the secret that had been buried in his heart for many years, Sauron sighed with relief, and the corners of his mouth turned up forty-five degrees, revealing the most knowing smile.
He was desperate to escape Denmark from the war, so he wanted to take his family with him.
Escaping war and gaining freedom is an eternal benefit for him.
Inadvertently, the fleet has a long-term and wise prince, which is really a surprise.
Zheng Fei needs a person who can help him govern the country and secure the country, even if there is no country to speak of now, but after occupying the Americas and establishing colonies, the country will gradually form, this is an unstoppable trend, it is naturally difficult to manage when there are more people, he doesn't like to do this kind of troublesome and tied hands, he must find someone to entrust.
Looking at the fleet, most of them used to be fishermen, soldiers, farmers, porters, who can have such talent?
Well, now it's a no-brainer.
On the deck, the soldiers of the convoy standing next to them were dumbfounded, staring at Sauron, their mouths wide open and not closing.
My God, the chief with whom they had spent years smiling all day was the king's younger brother! They couldn't help but roll their eyes and think carefully about whether they had ever spoken to the chief about anything out of the ordinary.
"I think I scolded him..."
"I've scolded too..."
The soldiers hung their heads and grinned awkwardly, Sauron looked sideways at them and smiled, the atmosphere on the deck was delicate.
"Mr. Sauron, I can take you away. Zheng Fei said briskly.
"What are the conditions?" Sauron's dialogue is straightforward: "I said before that there are no eternal friends, only eternal benefits, and if you give me something, you will definitely take it away." ”
Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows: "I need you to help me manage people and make everyone's lives more stable and beautiful." ”
"It's that simple?" Sauron chuckled, "It's the one thing I'm most happy to do." ”
"Okay, then you can catch up with Duke Tukman first. Zheng Fei turned around, preparing to climb the watchtower to take one last look at the artillery position on the top of the mountain in the distance.
He had just taken two steps when he suddenly thought of something, and he turned around and smiled, "Mr. Sauron, I think there are eternal friends. ”
As the words fell, he strode forward.
Sauron looked at his back with a little surprise, pondered for a long time, and smiled to himself, "Perhaps, that's why so many people follow you. ”
"Hey Sauron, go sit in the cabin, the captain gave me two barrels of Italian wine. ”
"Who's the captain?"
"Well, the guy who just left. ”
"Oh ~ Captain...... What an affectionate name, tell me how you got to this fleet over a drink. ”
Laughing and laughing, they hooked their shoulders into the cabin, leaving a group of soldiers messy on the deck.
The watchtower of the flagship Victory was damaged in the previous shelling and was still being urgently repaired, so Zheng Fei had to temporarily replace the flagship.
Standing on the railing of the watchtower, he held the binoculars in both hands, and saw Hans waving at the top of the hill through the lens, as if he guessed that someone was watching him.
"This guy. He couldn't help but laugh and put down his binoculars.
All the sails have been raised, and this huge fleet of more than 200 ships is slowly embarking on a new stage of its journey.
In the evening, the sunset intoxicates the tranquil surface of the Baltic Sea, casting a warm golden light, and the sea reflects the sunset on the horizon, forming a wonderful landscape painting.
"I want to keep this painting behind. Santiago sighed that he still had this kind of interest in the past.
At this time, instead of the people who were lying on the guardrail, a young man moved a stool and sat on the deck, with a wooden plank in front of him.
He's painting, trying to record this wonderful moment.
When did the fleet have such a person full of literary and artistic atmosphere? Zheng Fei approached curiously, and found that he knew this young man, who had been brought back from a lighthouse on the day he was surveyed in a hot air balloon, a Danish poet.
Art seems to be a common thing, whether it's poetry, painting or music.
Before the sun set over the sea, the people on deck were busy again, and they moved the small stove out of the cabin, and cooked a pot of fish soup as usual, to reward the Spartan warriors who had been busy all day.
The corners of the Spartan warrior's mouth actually put a smile on it at this moment.
This was the first time Zheng Fei had seen them laugh since he took them out of their Romanian habitat.
Life is so good, what reason is there to be a cold face?
Zheng Fei threw the clean wine jug into the sea, stretched out his arms to face the sunset, stretched out his comfortable waist, and then faced the direction of the artillery position, and said to himself sincerely: "Hans, you must bring everyone back." ”
By the time people were lighting pots on stoves and scooping their nets out of the sea, the shelling had already begun.
Hundreds of heavy cannons of Arna's vanguard pointed directly at the hill more than 2,000 meters away, and under the command of the officer, they fired a salvo!
Countless granite shells swept across the evening sky, whistling straight to the position under the reflection of the sunset, and the dust flew in an instant. (To be continued.) )
