This time, Morey made a lot of noise, and there were already those guys who were not shocking and endless, shouting "Morey wants to follow the example of the south and stand up for the Far East", and this kind of speech still has a lot of market in the royal capital.

After all, both are borrowing pirates to develop their own strength.

The old king did not speak, but this disregard seemed to some to be an attitude.

So this discussion slowly turned into a denunciation, and it seemed that there was a great posture of flattening the Far East and capturing Morey alive.

Bert's going at such a sensitive moment can be regarded as a return for the favor.

The formation ceremony of the First Fleet in the Far East was placed by Morey in the Iron Armor Bay, although Delia strongly encouraged Morey to go to the Emerald City for the founding ceremony, after all, there are well-equipped ports, open squares, and even the Shangjin Lord is willing to pay a special sponsorship fee, but Morey still refused.

What's the matter with the ceremony of entering the army in someone else's city?

Although the population of Pukan Town is less than 1,000 people, the built area is not even one-third of the smallest civilian area in Red Leaf City.

But after all, this belongs to Morey's rule, and it is really his own territory, although in the contract stamped with the seal of the governor of the Far East, this is just under Morey's custody.

Standing at the top of the town's tallest building, the Clock Tower, Bert watched with interest the crowd below nervously preparing for the ceremony.

A slightly flat ground outside the town had been bulldozed overnight and paved with gravel, and now the staff was nervously setting up a parade platform where Morey and Bert would inspect the officers and men of the First Fleet in the Far East.

"I heard that Saganis City didn't send anyone to watch the ceremony this time?"

Morey glanced at Bert and said angrily:

"Why, you're glad they didn't come?"

"Of course, for the royal capital, a divided Far East with different voices is much easier to deal with than a unified Far East with only one voice!"

Bert took it for granted, and succeeded in gaining Morey's eyes.

"That may disappoint you, although that Great Elder and his subordinates tried their best to stop it, there was still a viewing group from Saganis City coming in the name of the Chamber of Commerce!"

"Chamber of Commerce?"

Bert was a little puzzled, according to the latest news he received, the Red Leaf Shipyard has recently handed over all its production capacity to the manufacture of invincible-class ironclad ships, and the task of refitting merchant ships has been completely abandoned.

"Don't you know?"

Morey exaggerated an expression of "why don't you even know this", and although Bert was angry, he still held back his anger and forced the words out of his teeth little by little.

"I, no, know, way."

Morey laughed, finally avenged the revenge just now, and then solved Bert's question.

"As a member of the Holy Lance Kingdom, the First Fleet in the Far East is willing to provide services to some friendly chambers of commerce within its capacity in view of the long-term flooding and coastal banditry!"

"Friendly chamber of commerce? How much! ”

Bert was confused at first, but quickly got to the point.

Morey was silent, just smiled and stretched out a finger to shake it in front of His Highness.

"Ten thousand gold coins?"

Morey nodded and added, "One year." ”

Hiss!

Bert gasped.

10,000 gold coins a year, not too much, no less.

It is not those traveling merchants who dare to call it a caravan with a few carriages that can use merchant trade, even if it is only in offshore trade, the annual income of these chambers of commerce is more than 100,000 gold coins, and 10,000 gold coins is not a pain in their bones.

But there are so many maritime merchants in the Holy Spear Kingdom, and there are more than a dozen of them that Bert alone knows, which is a steady hundred thousand gold coins a year.

Not to mention the tide that followed, one had the First Fleet in the Far East as a backer, and the other was a lonely person, and those pirates wanted to know whose ship to rob.

"You're not afraid of other people's eyes when you do this?"

Although Morey is now in the limelight, Bert, as a bystander, has a sense of cooking oil on fire, and he can't help but be vigilant.

"Afraid, why aren't you afraid?"

Morey smiled and said:

"Terrible, won't they come?"

"If I don't build an ironclad fleet today, won't they need a steam engine?"

"If I don't build a steam engine, won't they want this soap and magic equipment that is in short supply?"

"The matter of the Alchemy Guild, I still remember it vividly!"

He then stepped forward, pointed to the three invincible ships that were lining up in Ironclad Bay, and shouted:

"Today I'm going to tell those guys, if you are brave enough, you can take it, see if your claws are hard, or my swords and guns are sharper!"

Naturally, he wants to hide his identity as a demigod when he hibernates, but for the rest of the shameless villains who covet his own things, he naturally wants to high-profile proclaim force and cut off their outstretched claws.

"If you don't accept it, you will fight until you are convinced, it is quite the style of my ancestor Gladstone I!"

The corners of Morey's mouth twitched, and he pinched his thigh hard before resisting the urge to throw the guy off the tower.

Comparing yourself to Gladstone I, the founder of the country, can be regarded as a compliment, but what is the matter with the tone of your elders looking at the younger generations?

With the long sound of a whistle, the ceremony of the entry of the invincible ironclad ships and the formation of the First Fleet in the Far East officially began.

The people who came to watch the ceremony looked at the ironclad ship that was moving like a hill, and lost their voices for a moment.

The shock brought to them by observing these ironclads up close is much stronger than the visual impact when viewed from a distance.

I'm afraid that the dark iron armor will easily sink my armed merchant ships that are just inlaid with iron sheets if they are lightly hit!

"Put!"

Gou De on the lead ship gave an order, and the starboard guns fired a salvo at the same time, directly pushing the 5,000-ton steel giant beast dozens of feet away in the opposite direction, and the wooden building complex that was the size of half a town as a target was directly blown into the sky.

Looking at the rocky beach that was ploughed flat by artillery fire, everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison.

They had not seen a volley of artillery, but the most powerful salvo they had ever seen was a hundred or so 16-pounder guns, far less than the cannon salvo of an ironclad ship whose sound alone shook their ears.

Some of the rocks on the rocky beach where the target was located were the size of a house, but they were easily blown into rubble.

Even this solid stone that has stood on the coast for thousands of years has ended up like this, if it is facing a city wall, then it ......

Thinking of this, these elves put away the horrified expressions on their faces and replaced them with more sincere smiles, which can be regarded as adding a joy to this solemn army ceremony.
