Chapter 377: Slavery Development
The coastline of the kingdom of Astra is tranquil, the majesty of the top power in the north of the continent is not offended, and the only thing on the calm sponge is the non-stop chirping of seabirds and the salty smell of the monsoon wind blowing from the sea.
The monsoon wind kept blowing the waves, and a large fleet of ships gradually appeared on the surface, their hulls and tall canvases painted with the coats of arms of the Bretonnian Navy and the Duke of Bretonnia.
This indicates their identity, and the receivers sent by William are also waiting on the coastline of the kingdom of Astra, and the actual ruler of the Duchy of Bretonnia, Grand Duke Rawac, has a good impression of William, so he is happy to give William more assistance.
At this time, one of his courtiers was having a pleasant negotiation with Baron Reims, and since it was the first orc handover, William seemed to attach great importance to it, so he specially sent his important courtier, Baron Reims.
They are not only talking about unnutritious pleasantries, they are even making a series of tentative discussions about possible future cooperation.
"His Royal Highness attaches great importance to Count William, and he also appreciates His Earl, and our Royal Highness also attaches great importance to commerce, as evidenced by our prosperous maritime trade in Bretonnia!"
"Yes, Viscount Norriway, I also see the prosperity of the maritime trade in Bretonnia, I think I have understood what you mean, my lord!"
"Your country's abundant seafood and cheap salt are what we need, and our fine armor and abundant luxuries, as well as the grain grown in the interior, are also scarce!"
"So, with the consent of both of our sovereigns, we can have a good trade that is beneficial to both of us, right?"
Looking at Baron Reims smiling and talking in front of him, Viscount Norriway's face was overjoyed, they really wanted William's special luxury goods to trade with those barbarians in the northwest of the Astra Kingdom, and the grain from the inland was also not available in the Duchy of Bretonnia on the coast.
The fine wheat, rice, and beans are all not found in Bretonnia or even in the northern part of the kingdom of Astra, and only a part of the land south of the capital of the kingdom of Astra can grow these inland grains.
"That's right, that's what it means, our respect, His Royal Highness the great Grand Duke Rawach also means this, I hope to establish a good relationship with your sovereign and achieve more common interests!"
Viscount Norwi said to Baron Reims with a noble smile on his face that could not be faulted.
"Okay, I see, I understand what your lord means, I will tell my lord Earl William the will of the esteemed Grand Duke of Rawach truthfully, please rest assured!"
Baron Reims also had the same expression as Viscount Norriway, and said with a smile.
The towering mast gradually appeared in the eyes of everyone, and this time President Reims brought a thousand Denlenburg infantry and two wings of Iron Cross Knights here, and now the Knights had seven wings, each with more than 200 people, under the command of the Holy Lance Knights of each company.
Cool and swift winds blow across the sea, chirping seagulls weave between masts, and hundreds of troop carriers and dozens of warships sail towards the waves.
"Behold, the fleet of your country is coming!"
Baron Reims said happily with an unconcealed smile on his face.
"Haha, you're joking, isn't there still your goods in there?"
While the two were talking and laughing, the top of the sail was getting closer and closer to the shore, and after about three hours, the boat, which seemed to be constantly approaching, finally came to the shore.
Since Bretonnia was an integral part of the Kingdom of Astra, and the Archduke Ravachi was still the current King of the Kingdom of Astra, and King Leonac passed on to the brother of the previous Duchy of Bretonnia, the relationship between the two countries was so close that there was almost no need to shy away from it.
Even their navy can be docked directly above the docks of the kingdom of Astra.
I saw planks sticking out of the boat and erecting them on top of the wide wooden bridge that stretched out of the pier.
In this way, all the troop carriers were planked, and the Bretonnian navy and more than 200 Denlenburg infantry escorted the orcs, pushing and shoving them off the ship.
Looking at these orcs in front of him who were more than two meters tall, with knotted muscles, like a humanoid beast, Viscount Norwee of the Duchy of Bretonnia was surprised, he had never seen such a terrifying monster, even unheard of.
"This ...... This is......! ”
Viscount Norriway asked Baron Reims with a surprised expression, he had thought that William had leased their troop carriers to transport some military supplies and troops.
Unexpectedly, after unloading the goods, it turned out to be such a terrifying race, and what surprised him even more was that the Denlenburg army had the ability to defeat this terrifying race and capture them.
"It's not surprising, but we hope you'll keep it a secret for us!"
Baron Reims smiled meaningfully and said mysteriously.
"Hurry, hurry! Hurry up and take these captives and load them into prison carts! Don't go wrong! ”
After Baron Reims gave the order, the two Lancers below also began to shout loudly.
As for the inhabitants, they did not need the supervision of the warriors at all, they were all tempted by profit, and they were the ones who wanted to go to Denlenburg even more.
In this way, after bidding farewell to Viscount Norriway, Baron Reims left the northern docks of the kingdom of Astra with his army.
After more than a month of traveling, Baron Reims finally arrived at the northern border of Denlenburg with the group of orc slaves and inhabitants.
During this period, they consumed a lot of food, which fortunately was plundered from the Duchy of Maineke.
After entering Denlenburg, these orcs were trained for more than three months, so that they all learned to dare these jobs, William did not hesitate, and directly transferred 1,500 orc slaves to enter the quarry for stone mining.
After the stone was collected, the stone roads were scavenged, and the towers and small fortresses were built in the middle of Denlenburg, all of which were the basic structures to strengthen William's rule.
The surrounding areas of the farmland are also dug out of water channels under the labor of the orcs for irrigation to form a higher yield.
In addition to this, the orcs are also doing some other work, such as taking over from the inhabitants to clear the wasteland.
Anyway, they have learned to harvest, and now the inhabitants only need to sow seeds, without worrying about whether they can harvest all after the autumn, so that William can once again multiply the grain production of the territory.
After that, almost every month, William was able to obtain two to three thousand orc slaves from the Duchy of Maineke, and with their help, the construction of the infrastructure of Issamdenburg was also progressing rapidly, and the stone road was also extending from Denlenburg to Issamdenburg. 2k reading web
