Chapter XVI: Prelude

After the negotiations from Josephine's side, Lorraine went to the Warthog Legion garrison with a little reluctance, and there was information that a large number of troops were gathering on the Varanka side, and he had to go back and regroup his troops first, just in case.

While everyone in St. Orlando was busy, everyone in Varankca was enjoying the scene in front of them.

The rainy weather, which had lasted for many days, had dissipated, the air was filled with the scent of the sea, the river that flowed from Varanka was easily accessible to the sea, and under the blue sky, several large ships were ready.

Looking at the calm river, the Valranka soldiers who looked very energetic were a little excited, they were about to go to the south, and the muskets in their hands and a large number of high-quality artillery were their solid foundation, of course, all of this was due to Yuri.

It is not embarrassing to sell arms to your friends, every arms dealer is determined to have a relative peace in the world, and peace will only come if you sell weapons to friends and enemies.

Senator Fakyu wouldn't believe the Merchant of Death's nonsense, under the double threat of gold and munitions, he had already gained the trust of the Valranka Senate and the army, and with the ships purchased from the slave city-states and the existing fleet, a landing attack at sea was inevitable, and those damned Southerners would never have thought that they would come from the sea.

In addition to this, he forced the Senate to levy an extra tax in the city, employing more than sixty wandering spellcasters and priests, barely able to provide support for the army, and the high-ranking professionals could only count on the infantry commander, the eccentric Sidri and Lady Diane, a tough female warrior.

Born noble and familiar with wild adventures, more than ten years of adventure experience make her super combative, and after returning to Varanka with treasures, she joined the political arena and became a senior senator, but she is a little fond of young children, which is really criticized.

However, Fakeyou didn't want to clash with him, the thick muscles were definitely not something his small body could fight against, and the layman still obeyed the insider's command in a proper manner.

"Sidri, Lady Diane, report that the ship is ready to go!" The attendant reported to Elder Fakyu with joy that the young man who had never seen the war was very interested in what was going to happen.

"Then let the soldiers board the ship and hope that this sea journey will be smooth." Fakyu said with a smile, looking at the young man beside him, thanks to the arms he had purchased from the treasury of San Orlando and the arsenal of Corsalan, otherwise the armed forces would not know how long.

The sound of a horn was heard in the distance, and the young man glanced over there, "The time is almost up, I wish Your Excellency a smooth expedition this time." "Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Yuri, this is a certificate from the Valanca Senate that you can go to the Dragonroar without any trouble, and the fleet over there will not attack Varanka's allies."

"Thank you again for your generosity, goodbye." Very enthusiastic to express his gratitude, his face remained commercially smiling, and after saying goodbye, two foxes, one big and one small, went to their own battlefield.

Of course, the Dragonroar that Yuri is going to is the overlord of the New World, a slave city-state founded by a group of lawless thugs, a terrifying force with a population of millions and an army of 30,000, and also a thirst for arms.

As for the patriarch Farkyu, who looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Sidri, Diane, and her guards all looked at the procrastinating politician with unkind faces, waiting for his orders.

"That...... You might as well have a good rest first, it will take ten days to go to the port of Belland, and you should save your strength before fighting. Seeing that his boss didn't speak, the first mate on the ship hurriedly walked up to relieve the siege.

"What a ship you're looking for, Councilor Fakyou, I seem to have mentioned to you that a landing battle must be covered by a battleship, but what did the Senate provide me!?"

In the face of Sidri and Diane's questioning, Fakeu was speechless, although he was responsible for the formation of the entire fleet, but the senate who paid for it gave full play to the role of a-stirring stick, and cheated his teammates as soon as he came up.

In order to bring more land forces, they gathered a large fleet of thirty ships, but there were twenty-five transport ships in it, and although the number of land forces reached an astonishing 20,000, you can't just rely on five old medium warships to escort them, right?

Moreover, these frigates have all been in service for more than fifteen years, and their equipment is not fast, and even the artillery can only be equipped with a small caliber, and a ship has only fifteen guns plus two large ballistas, and a slightly stronger pirate may not be able to beat it.

"Battleship junk, transport ships are not good goods, which idiot is responsible for buying a ship?" Sidri and Diane were still yelling there, the problem was that the ship seemed to be in charge of hers......

Of course, as the existence with the strongest combat effectiveness, she would definitely not admit this, but Fakeyou knew very well that when the boat was negotiated, the gang of slave merchants took advantage of the night to send twenty 'mats' to this patriarch with strange habits, and as for what was wrapped in it, and from time to time he could hear the immature shouts, so he couldn't say.

In short, it's not the leadership that's wrong, it's the purchasing personnel who have a problem!

"Okay, Sidri, Elder Diane, what the hell are you trying to say?" Pulling the other party's hand, Fakyou had to beg for mercy in a low voice, "Start listening to me now, don't get in the way, and when you break through Belland, you won't be less, do you understand?" ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ You're really ...... Well, as you wish ma'am. ā€

The attacking enemy was already there, but Lorraine had nothing to do other than know that the Varanka were gathering, because the Warthog army outside Lane was really uneasy.

This group of soldiers, who had managed to survive the first battle, tossed the recruits all day long, and would go to the city with their salaries and gambling money every ten days off to spend on a large scale, but they unexpectedly made outstanding contributions to economic prosperity.

"But what the hell is going on with our loss of food, grass and ordnance!! You left-behind officers, please give me a reasonable explanation!! "Several officers who are being lectured are sweating profusely, Lorraine's liver pain is useless, these guys' combat effectiveness is not on the table, and the trick of buying and selling in private is really outstanding!

Unable to speak at all, Lorraine didn't want to waste any more time, and directly let the people of the newly formed Military Discipline Committee in, this group of super powerful department personnel from another world would let them tell the truth.

However, seeing this group of people wearing big black caps, black uniforms all over their bodies, complete armaments and rare magical products, in addition to being in charge of military law, they are also responsible for managing prisons, searches, arrests, and internments, all of which are said to be the theories concocted by Carl and Engels Jr., and let Josephine make up the department after reading it.

It's just terrible, isn't it! Cheka from another world! Are you afraid?

Now that these people are here, we can probably stop for a few days...... Looking out the window, Lorraine sighed in frustration, but he didn't have time to linger any longer, for the shadow of the air cavalry appeared in the sky, looking eager. (To be continued.) )
