Chapter Seventy-Seven: Fleet Commander
"Gode, go get me two more standard quantities of Kuroki."
"Hey, yes, Baron Morey."
"Young master, the crimson Captain York you asked for was delivered, and he said that if it wasn't enough for him, he would have it."
"Such a big piece, enough is enough, Hyde, you thank Captain York for me, and I said that I invited him to drink when it came to the Emerald City."
"Okay."
"Young Master, it is said that Captain Abner has a way to use the Emerald Elixir, and he hopes to meet you alone later."
"Alright, Balta and Wade will discuss if they can lend us the captain's room."
"Okay, I'll go find him."
After one night, Morey found that in addition to the Blood Moon, even the entire Emerald City fleet had changed drastically.
Among the ships hired by Emerald City this time, the Flying Fish assigned by Morey was only medium in size, and there were five or six huge ships on top of the Flying Fish, which were far larger than the Flying Fish. According to the principle that the stronger the strength, the larger the number of ships, the larger the ship, these teams are far superior to Morey on the surface.
When the Wauking Church fleet suddenly retreated, it was because these teams were competing with each other for command that led to more government orders, which almost brought the entire fleet to death.
When Morey led the Exocet to destroy the two largest pirates one after another, the Ghost Woman and the Sea Wolf, and successfully reached a cooperative relationship with a legendary sea beast, the rest of the ships of the entire Emerald City fleet spontaneously gathered around Morey's Exocet.
The strong in the world of mercenaries are respected, Morey was able to destroy the two major bandits in succession and subdue the sea giants, and this naval battle was able to finally win, his contribution accounted for most of it, and he was worthy of the name of the strongest and leader.
So when they learned from Gourd's mouth that Morey was making a magic item but lacked materials, these captains and mercenary captains who wanted to get close to Morey also thought of a way to contribute materials.
Only then did Morey give an order, and the resources of the entire fleet were all open, and Morey was allowed to take it.
When he heard that Morey lacked a stable supply path for the jade elixir, there was actually a captain who took it over. These seagoing merchants, who often go to the sea, have a wide range of contacts and rich network resources, and compared with those nobles who are tied to doing things, they can really be penetrated by their hands and eyes.
These captains and captains are naturally not fools, they have never done loss-making business, they all see the potential of Morey in this battle, so they are optimistic about Morey's future development. Some not-so-expensive magic materials and handy favors in exchange for the favor of a strong person on the future side are the most cost-effective things.
Morey was not the one who didn't know what to do, so he took the opportunity to entertain the heads of all parties on the Exocet, and in a happy occasion, Morey was successfully elected as the temporary commander of the Emerald City fleet.
Some people actively approach to their liking, and naturally there are also people who are dissatisfied and angry.
"Why did he, a little Baron of the Far East, become the commander of the fleet, just by virtue of his missing old man?!" After learning that most of the mercenary leaders and battleship captains had elected Morey as the temporary fleet commander, a man with a slightly snarky face on a huge armed merchant ship with a wide belly slammed it on his desk.
Seeing Calvin hammer the table, the cabin suddenly exploded.
"Yes, think about it, it should be the boss, you should be the commander!" One man stood up and was indignant.
"Yes, yes, who is worthy of being the commander of this combined fleet except you, boss?!" The other chimed in.
"Yes, Tom is right, why does that kid ......"
"This group of villains who can only play tricks behind their backs, why didn't the mercenary union fire them all! ......”
There was a lot of commotion on the scene, but there was no useful word.
There was still a middle-aged mercenary who couldn't look past it, and stood up and said two truthful words, "Then what now, boss?" The old Yorkers are not easy to mess with, and if they want to force this Far Eastern boy to become the commander of the fleet, we alone cannot stop him. ”
"What's so bad about this, let's kill it directly, directly drive away the kid named Morey, and help the boss sit in the position of the commander, who would dare not give us the face of the blood lion?" A mercenary who seemed to be relatively young stood up and said with a grin.
The cabin, which was still noisy, suddenly fell silent.
The Blood Lion is indeed a B-level mercenary team, but how much water is in it, don't you have any points in your heart? Let's take a look at the people who recommended Morey to become the commander: York, nicknamed "Daddy", the boss of the B-class mercenary team "Scarlet Battle Banner", he is a real killer, and he is genuine; Abner, the captain of the armed merchant ship Watch, once destroyed a B-class dangerous pirate in an encounter, who is also a merchant and a bandit, and is said to have the shadow of a great nobleman behind him; Arnold, a lone traveler and a high-ranking assassin, once had a record of being seriously injured and not dying; Ernest, the boss of the B-class mercenary team "Scorpion......
Any group of people in this can win the blood lion steadily, but it can still be easily done to form a confrontation, if two groups can win the battle, three groups of four groups can be crushed, and now these four groups of people are on Morey's side, this is not to send them to death! It's like going to die!!
"Hey, hey, stop? Why should I stop?! Not only did I not stop him, but I also wanted to show my approval and push him directly into this position. Feeling the almost frozen atmosphere in the cabin, Calvin said with a smile.
Hearing that there was no need to send him to death, the atmosphere in the cabin was enlivened again.
"I don't understand, boss?"
"Isn't he making some magic props? We also sent him materials, and when the time came, we would sue him for embezzlement of seized property, so that he could not eat and walked around! Those who embezzle the employer's resources without permission, I will naturally report it to the mercenary union when the time comes! Calvin is very familiar with this hand, otherwise how could he go from a penniless mercenary rookie to the captain of a B-level mercenary team in just two or three years.
"Boss, this trick is amazing, who doesn't know what the relationship between Lord Thor, the tax officer of the Emerald City, and the boss, your own nephew! When the time comes, maybe this kid will have to go to prison! A mercenary slapped his thigh and said, "Suddenly realized".
"That's it, that's it!"
"How many times have I told you that I should not talk about the fact that I am the nephew of the tax officer, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble to my uncle!"
"Hey, yes, yes." The mercenary who accosted him slapped his mouth and secretly scolded himself, "I don't know who is talking about my uncle and my uncle all day long!" ”
Calvin was actually very depressed, originally followed the "Sea Fortress" to suppress the bandits this time, and it was clear that he was taking money for nothing. When the time comes, he will return victoriously, and with this credit and his uncle's help, maybe he will still be able to get an official position, and he will no longer be so wandering outside, but it is a pity that the sudden withdrawal of the Waujin Church fleet completely disrupted their arrangement.
From his uncle through secret channels, Calvin certainly knew that it was because the Church of Waujin was in such a hurry to go back, because someone had raided the temple's hometown.
So in the previous battles, they have been wandering on the edge of the battlefield, preserving their strength. Who knows who will enter the temple in the end, and it will not be good to be hated by the new owner for performing too well.
But who would have thought that these outsiders did not fight the temple down, Di Liya Shangjin successfully returned to the defense in time, and Morey, this kid, was killed at once, and he didn't catch either end.
"You wait, the credit for this naval battle must be mine! No one wants to take it!! Calvin swore secretly.
