After arranging the construction of the territory, Sean rode the unicorn to the training site again, and now Sean has gone to the training point less and less, and spends most of his time in the castle room to practice fighting spirit, or to hone his fighting skills with Taylor in the castle front yard.

The main purpose of this trip to the training site was to learn about the trading fleet from York, who had briefly reported on the trade situation, but did not carefully understand it because he was concerned about the crusade against Jackal Island. Now that Jackal Island has been successfully wiped out, there is finally time to learn more about the navigation of the trade fleet, and the foundry matters agreed between the trade fleet and the lords of the islands directly affect the construction of the initial domain and the city wall.

I also want to know about the training of the Knights of Thorns, Taylor is currently training a few silver swordsmen according to his heart, because the number of silver swordsmen on the island is still relatively small, excluding York, Simon and himself, there are still five silver swordsmen left, and sometimes Nick will come from the beach guard training point to train together.

Suddenly, a team of knights rushed past Sean like a huge sword, and due to the release of fighting energy, from a distance, it looked like a sharp sword piercing forward, which shocked Sean.

"Your Excellency, my lord, is well. Taylor approached from a distance on a unicorn to greet him.

"Is this the effect of your training during this period of time? It's shocking, I don't know if you can predict the actual combat effect. Sean pointed to the Knights of Thorns behind Taylor.

Taylor nodded excitedly and looked at the knight's spear in his hand. "My lord, it's even more powerful than I imagined, this is no longer the effect of one plus one, it is completely a multiplying effect. If a Golden Swordsman resists the onslaught of the Knights, the Knights can kill the Golden Swordsman in seconds. ”

"And after the members of the knights increase, this power will increase exponentially, but the difficulty of training will also increase exponentially. After training for such a long time, with Nick and the seven of us, I can only charge in a straight line, and if I turn and connect the fighting spirit, it will collapse due to the disunity of the fighting qi frequency. ”

"So good, then you keep training, and York stays. Sean was also surprised, because Taylor didn't let him participate in this training, he didn't know much about the power of the Silver Swordsman Knights.

After Taylor took the Knights of Thorns out of sight, "York, how was the trade fleet's voyage?"

"Lord Lord, this voyage has visited all the islands on the White Pigeon Island chart and the islands on the pirate chart, because the islands are relatively barren, so the trade reached is relatively small, as for the foundry plan you ordered, a total of four island lords have reached an agreement, all of them are through grain in exchange for bricks polished on their islands, 5 bricks in exchange for 1kg of grain. York was also a little depressed, the islands on the charts of White Pigeon Island were very barren, and some of them were more hostile to the people of the outer islands.

Sean was not too disappointed, although White Pigeon Island agreed to trade charts, it was definitely impossible to give Sean Island the location of those richer islands, just as Sean could not use the island's knight armor intact for trading, and it was human nature to hide some key skills and crafts, and keep a hand.

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is an island willing to become the foundry of Sean Island, 5 bricks for 1kg of grain is not expensive, you can transport these bricks back to the island on your next voyage, at present, the initial territory of the island and the construction of the city wall require a large number of bricks, and those stones can also be purchased. Get a few ships from Jackal Island again this time, and you'll take them with you on your next voyage. ”

"The next time you negotiate trade, it's best to trade with gold coins or salt, and although the island has plenty of food, you should set aside some of it just in case. Also, did you come across an island or an uninhabited island that wasn't on the charts while sailing?"

York recalled for a moment and said: "I didn't encounter it, but there was a battle with a group of pirates, fortunately, the pirates were not strong, and there were no casualties, but I don't know which island it was." In addition, the trading islands strongly refused to trade with gold coins and salt, as the food on their islands could no longer supply the daily food of their people. ”

York paused for a moment, then whispered, "Lord Lord, can we directly attack those barren islands, after all, even if we don't attack them, with their lord's management ability, the number of deaths among the lords below may be even higher." ”

Sean reins in the reins and stopped the unicorn, a topic he had always avoided confronting, in fact, the fastest way to source the population was to war, to grow itself by plundering the resources of other islands. It's just that the education he received in his previous life made him hesitate all the time.

And he also has a worry, that is, as soon as this precedent is broken, there will be problems with the control of the trade fleet, and the population management of the plundered back is also a big problem, if the people of the conquered island are really unable to survive because of food, it is okay, I am afraid that those lords will hate Sean Island and leave hidden dangers on the island. However, he can filter through the identification system to identify the favorability of those people one by one.

"York, how are the people living on the islands you sailed on?"

"My lord, because the islands I visited this time are very barren, the people below can be said to be living in dire straits, many of them cannot even guarantee the most basic meals a day, and hunger envelops the lords of those islands, making them full of despair, which is why I make this suggestion. I had previously proposed to exchange food for people, but they were all rejected. York's face was a little ugly when he remembered the so-called insistence of those lords.

Sean fell into the contemplation again, and if it was really as York said, he could have acted as an executioner. He is not a hypocrite, he will not set up an archway to show the merit of rescuing the people of those island lords from the dire situation, this is just to take what they need, and on the trip to Jackal Island, he does not have a high opinion of those island lords or the descendants of nobles, even if he is one of them.

"York, if you encounter those barren islands in the future, it will be as you said, and I agree with you to wage war against them, but there are two things that must be done, first, you must not start a war on the islands at will, and second, you must not kill the people of those islands indiscriminately. Do you understand what I mean?" Sean agreed with York's suggestion, but the latter two restrictions also accentuated his tone.

York's face was happy: "My lord, I know what you are worried about, I also got up from a low-level lord. I will restrict the members of the swordsman squad who accompany me, and if they violate the requirements, I will deal with them, please trust me, lord. ”

"I believe in you, and I hope you don't let me down either, don't underestimate the darkness of human nature. If there is a real harassment of the people below, or worse...... Just sink into the sea, you can come back and report to me, I hope you don't break this bottom line. ”

"Rest assured, my lord, I understand. ”
