Having said this, Luo Zhengdao couldn't see that the two mage advisors accepted the request made to him by holding their noses, and they were not optimistic about what the future of these stinky black oils could be, and they were just selling the face of the gold owner.

Seeing that his grand blueprint was regarded as the arrogance and whimsy of an ignorant aristocracy, and he couldn't explain his reasons, what else could Luo Zhengdao say? I had to touch my nose helplessly and said:

"Alright! I hope to see the results as much as possible. ”

"Yes, Lord Earl, that is ...... in terms of funding."

Money is not a problem, no money is the problem, the two mage advisors are willing to give face to study black oil, and Luo Zhengdao who can't say one, two, three, has to be grateful, in terms of funds, he naturally wants to express his sincerity of strong support, and immediately said in a big way:

"The special fee of 20,000 gold coins, these money are not enough and can be added, is there a problem?"

On the spot, he was smashed by the big dog Luo Zhengdao with a heavy money bag and was about to vomit blood, and his eyes couldn't help flashing a huge $$ symbol, and the two mage advisors replied in unison:

"No problem, no problem if you have money."

Two months later, the new capital of the Second Empire of the Goblins of the Main Continent. At dawn the city was shrouded in a gray haze, and clouds of red light like craters scattered through the city, a spectacular sight of iron smelting workshops and foundries working through the night to replenish the navy's weapons.

"Bang-"

The muffled sound of the heavy metal vessel crashing on the ground was like striking a bell, and it made people's hearts tremble, but compared to the movement, the storm that Zheti Baishan and Modo Blackwater were forced to endure was more violent.

“…… Your incompetence and stupidity have brought the Empire to shame, and it is an unacceptable failure to betray the trust of His Majesty Bane. ”

Despite the fact that there was a large desk in the middle, which was a few points wider than a double bed, the commander-in-chief of the military department still sprayed the two goblin commanders with a fierce rebuke. With the muffled sound of Shicai, His Excellency couldn't help but kick the bronze statue displayed next to him to the ground, which showed that its emotions were so excited that they were almost on the verge of losing control.

Not long ago, in the battle against the heretic Will Needham, a total of more than 100 goblin warships were sunk, and these material losses were just a trivial matter for the Great Goblin Second Empire, but the defeat was extremely damaging to the morale of the navy. What's more, not only did many of the soldiers in the Goblin Navy not believe that they could kill Will Needham, but the other goblins who had learned about the battle were also extremely frustrated, and when mentioning this human aristocrat in exile, there was often a slight unspeakable fear mixed with hatred, and this negative state of demoralization continued for a long time, which was a very bad phenomenon for the Goblin Empire.

The strong self-confidence accumulated from the weak to the strong and victorious is the root cause of the Second Goblin Empire's ability to defeat the Bright Dynasty in one fell swoop. Now, the grassroots goblin soldiers have lost their psychological advantage over pirates, and even if they still dare to give it a go, the confidence that they will win is gone, is that a good thing?

After a fuss, the chief of the military department, who was short of breath, sat back in his chair, looked up at the two commanders who lowered their heads and said coldly:

"His Majesty Bane has given the Empire an artifact, this is your last chance to restore the honor and dignity of the Empire, answer me, do you have the courage to undertake this task?"

Striking the breastplate with a fist in his right hand, Zheti Baishan replied loudly:

"Of course, Your Excellency, I am willing to fight for the Empire, even to the last breath of my life."

The haggard face of the big goblin commander, who had not yet recovered from his wounds on the battlefield, squinted at the old enemy beside him, and said in a low but decisive voice:

"I have never been afraid to fight, no matter who the enemy is."

The head of the military department looked back and forth at these two subordinates who had been defeated repeatedly, and secretly sighed in his heart that the Goblin Second Empire lacked naval talents, even if Zheti Baishan and Modo Heishui were both defeated generals with a black history, it was almost an impossible task to select generals who were more capable than the two of them.

The army can be trained quickly, and the most extreme way is to throw a group of recruits under the enemy's guns, as long as some of the recruits have fought several battles in a row and have not died, a group of qualified soldiers will be born. By analogy, through the continuous grinding and elimination of brutal wars, it is possible to select excellent generals who are in charge of their own affairs, and finally to the commander of the army who dominates the overall situation, and this method is doomed to be unfeasible when used in the construction of the navy. For the technology-intensive navy, familiarity with astronomy and geography is basic common sense, knowing how to handle guns and artillery is the job, and quickly judging the enemy's situation and choosing appropriate tactics are all specialized fields that novices cannot play.

Just look at the second goblin empire invested a large budget for the development of the navy, and when the pirate fleet with equipment level far inferior to its own is not only unable to defeat the enemy, but also has to be deflated repeatedly, it should understand a truth, the navy is really an aristocratic army accumulated with time and money, and it must not be in a hurry!

Sighing, knowing that there was no more suitable candidate available except for these two living treasures, the military commander-in-chief, whose face tended to be gentle, leaned back in his chair, nodded and said:

"Very well, that's exactly the answer I need, you have to work hard to get the job done."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

There are only a few cards in the hands of the goblin navy, no matter who is used or not, in fact, it is not much worse, and the distinction between rewards and punishments is clearly an attitude issue, which needs to be treated very strictly.

During the Heresy Crusade, the Great Goblin Commander Modo Blackwater's appearance was not satisfactory, and as he was still wounded, Modo received a verbal order to remove him from the title of Supreme Commander of the Fleet, and was forced to hand over his duties to his old nemesis, Zheti Baishan. To say that in the eyes of onlookers, this bit of is not a big deal, anyway, the days when the two of them love and kill each other are not a day or two, who is the main and who is the deputy is just a trivial issue, and the military bigwigs also think that there is no need to worry about the tacit cooperation between the two sides.

After a period of licking the wounds and rejuvenating, the goblin fleet once again formed a new pirate crusade fleet with more than 600 large and small warships of unprecedented scale, and after the solemn and solemn pre-war sacrifice ceremony, the mighty goblin fleet set off from the Grand Canal City on the opposite bank of Dongning in batches, preparing to assemble and attack in the open sea in the direction of the sea of stars.

Ideal and reality are two parallel lines of well water not interfering with river water, and I know how difficult Will Needham is to deal with, and Wake Reef, which was built in the Gobi Desert and transformed into a fortress, is a hard bone to gnaw. At this moment, stopping at the bow of the ship and looking at the route ahead, the bear goblin commander, who looked high-spirited on the surface, was as uncertain as the ordinary sailors on the ship. All right! It's good news that Ban has given the artifact to help in the war, so what? The last time he used the Sage Form to descend, wasn't he also sent back to his hometown by Will Needham? In Zheti Baishan's view, the decision made by the military department to go to war was too hasty, and the prospects for this battle are not optimistic!

“…… What did you say? The goblins are coming again! Is this news reliable? Well, announce the activation of the first level of combat readiness, sound the alarm bell, notify all units to enter a state of alert. ”

From the study, there was a conversation between Luo Zhengdao and a messenger, and from the few words, his subordinates felt the huge pressure like a dark cloud, and the people waiting outside the door couldn't help but start whispering.

I have seen a lot of big scenes in the new world, and the aging Luo Zhengdao is out of shape like this, it is not something that can be seen at any time, something must have happened.

The Pirate Guild is a loosely structured alliance, and when the Goblin Fleet can no longer hide its targets, news of the pirate allies of all parties has been sent to Wake Reef. This is both good news and bad news for Luo Zhengdao, he must come, and he can only smile indifferently and face the hardships calmly.

As defenses are put in place and the idea of a fortress on Wake Reef is turning from a sketch to a reality, the fledgling Wake Reef is becoming more and more difficult for attackers trying to invade the island's enclave. Because of this, Modo Blackwater, who dragged his wounded body, led dozens of goblin warships and thousands of infantry to besiege the port, without even getting a little cheap, and the goblin fleet that ventured to approach was instead sunk by the shore-based artillery counterattack, sinking more than a dozen warships, with thousands of casualties.

Completed with the upgrade of the shotgun swap, Wake Reef has become a fortress city, with settlements in the heart of the inland desert being easy to defend and the exposed harbor area surrounded by a fortress defense system.

The heavy fortress cannon produced by the Yaling Arsenal was extremely deterrent when placed on the fort, and Luo Zhengdao drew on the actual combat experience of using huge artillery to attack Xiangjiang, and made many improvements to the drawbacks. He ordered the metal components and cannons of the salvaged goblin shipwreck to be recast, casting a batch of cannons in the direction of the harbor to defend against threats from the sea. Each of these bronze or cast iron behemoths could project 400 pounds of stone projectiles to a distance of 5,000 yards, even if they were too far away to be accurate, and the range and destructive power could be described as frenzied. Vic Reef, which is already armed to the teeth, is hard to deal with, and I believe that the goblin raiding fleet will soon be able to taste it.

An old-world writer who loves both boxing champion Ali and the Potala Palace once joked: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but it's not too late for a villain to take revenge from morning to night." ”

The god of war and conquest, Bane, was still caught by Luo Zhengdao after he descended the Sage, and once again instigated the Second Goblin Empire to launch a counterattack in such a short period of time, without concealing the intention of revenge. Regardless of what the bystanders think of this deity's actions, Bane's heart must not be broad, and he is also the "man" in the world who expects Luo Zhengdao to die.
