Chapter Eighty-Six: Return to the Territory
"Your Excellency is back!"
Just as the third girl sighed, the door of the studio was slammed open.
"What did you say, Anne? The lord is back? Alice looked excitedly at Annie, a high-level adventurer who had broken in.
Anne gasped and said eagerly, "At the northern dock, the sentry on duty saw that your lord's ship was docking, and now he is calling everyone to go to the dock to meet your lordship." ”
Leah and Red Flame glanced at each other: "Let's go, go to the docks." ”
"Swift Walk!"
North Pier.
More than half a month after leaving the territory, Lu Cheng finally came back. The planned 3 or 4 days of action were delayed for more than ten days due to various unexpected circumstances.
Of course, the harvest is quite large.
"My lord, is this your territory? What a city that looks so big! Zhuo De and Marven lay on the side of the boat and sighed as they watched the slowly approaching sword-wielding village chief.
Li Tiezhu straightened his chest: "It's not just big, there are many shocking facilities in the lord's territory, I'll show you around it later." ”
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Li." Zhuode and Marven said happily.
"Cut ......"
Lu Cheng heard a white cloud floating behind him, and responded with disdain.
"Bai Yun, why do you Yu Clan like to stay on the mast?"
Lu Cheng turned around and looked at a row of 20 Feather Clan girls squatting neatly on the railing of the main mast.
Since giving them freedom of movement, this group of feather girls like to squat on the mast day and night, except for when they need to solve their physical needs, they will flutter their wings and fly down, Lu Chengcheng has never seen them leave there.
On the first night, Lu Cheng was worried that they would freeze at night and wanted to let them go into the cabin to rest, but Bai Yun was very excited to refuse. And at night, the Feather Clan will use their wings to wrap all their petite bodies, and from a distance they look like white giant eggs, which should not catch a cold.
"The ground doesn't belong to the Feather Clan, the Feather Clan is a race that belongs to the sky, so, pervert, don't you think that we will live in the house of the Ground Race, besides, we are hungry, is the food ready?"
Bai Yun tilted her head to look at the cabin door, and she remembered that the galley was in that direction. The Yu clan does not like meat, the main food is a variety of fruits and vegetarian food, and most of the food stored on the battleship is meat, bread cannot be stored for a long time, so it needs to be freshly made.
Baiyun had never eaten bread before, but that didn't stop her from falling in love with the taste of bread, it was much better than fruit, and she was easily filling, so whenever the smell of bread wafted from the kitchen, she would shout to eat.
Lu Cheng didn't bother to talk to her, this group of feather clans had become the strangest group of creatures on the battleship, squatting on the mast every day to watch the crew on the deck busy, and from time to time he laughed at some crew members who encountered bad luck. The bad-tempered crew would also argue with them, only to lose each time.
You can't win a fight with a woman, it has nothing to do with race.
"My lord, it's about to dock." Lu Nan straightened his clothes and said.
"Well, I saw it, Red Flame and Leah were both on the docks to greet them."
Dozens of people were standing on the dock looking at the ships slowly approaching, and a few of them were waving excitedly. The person with fiery red hair at the head was none other than Red Flame, and the tall one holding a staff next to her was definitely Leah.
The Calais-class battleship, which had many more patches than when it left the port, slowly docked on the dock, and the Lunan ship control technology, which was promoted to the middle captain, has been greatly improved, and there is no more collision with the dock.
"Your Excellency, you're finally back! I miss you. ”
Chiyan looked excitedly at Lu Cheng, who was carefully getting off the boat from the gangplank.
The white clouds on the mast whispered to his companions: "Look, what did the woman over there say, I miss him!" That's why I said he's a dead pervert, and there must be adultery in this! ”
Liya also jumped up and said, "My lord, if you don't come back, this muscular girl will finish destroying your territory!" ”
Chiyan waved his hand and smashed his brain on Liya's head: "Where are you talking so much nonsense this little girl, it's obvious that you are a loser, okay!" ”
Bai Yun pushed his companion next to him and said softly: "Look, tall and short, this perverted devil's claws won't let go!" ”
The feather clans next to Bai Yun nodded neatly in agreement.
"My lord! You're back, there's been a lot of urgent stuff going on lately that needs you to make a decision as soon as possible. Seeing that Chiyan and Leah were about to take the painting style crooked, Mike hurriedly got down to business, "There has been a major change in the country of Sanglai, and we urgently need to rescue him. ”
And Ming Lian, who was standing at the back of the team, wiped her red eyes: "My lord, recently, the Kangdi Kingdom has stepped up its offensive, Luolin Village has been lost, and the trade routes at sea have also been cut off, if you don't send troops again, Sang Lai Kingdom may not last long." ”
Lu Cheng frowned: "The situation is so bad?" When did it happen? ”
Chi Yan hurriedly explained, "About a week after you left, those Chosen ones suddenly sent a lot of ships to cut off the trade route between us and Longwan Village, and also sank our three transport ships. And the state of Kandi in the north of Sanglai also launched a full-scale attack at the same time, so I guess they have negotiated to deal with Sanglai together. ”
Minglian couldn't hold back her tears and cried: "Lorraine Village was besieged by the heavy troops of the Kandi Kingdom for a week, and after running out of ammunition and food, the Kangdi Kingdom broke through the defense line...... Slaughtered all the defenders we surrendered, and the civilians were also captured and killed, my father asked me to come here in the hope that you can find a way to send troops to help the country as soon as possible, once the supplies are exhausted, we may have to surrender to the country of Kandi. ”
Surrender! This is absolutely impossible!
Lu Cheng didn't expect that he had only left for half a month, and Sang Laiguo couldn't hold on, if he didn't come back for a few more days, wouldn't it be GameOver.
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the council hall to talk in detail!"
Council Chamber.
"That's the way it is."
Minglian and Chiyan told all the recent events, and the main problems were two, the first was that the shipping route was blocked by the players, and the second was that the Kangdi Kingdom suddenly launched a large-scale attack, captured Lorraine Village, and entered Sanglai City.
"These players are really not worry-free." Lu Cheng knocked on the table a little annoyed, "How is the current army construction situation in the territory?" ”
Liya and Chiyan glanced at each other, and the latter said slowly: "After this period of development, the territory has been upgraded to a level 4 village, the citizens of the sword bearer village already have a population of 16,000, and the militia is 2,700, and the skull castle is in charge of Jona, and it has also been promoted to a level 2 village, with a population of about 10,000 people and a militia of 1,200 people. At present, there are 2 improved Galen-class warships under construction in the territory, which are expected to be delivered the day after tomorrow, 6 Calais-class warships, and 2 Calais-class warships are still under construction, which are estimated to be delivered in 3 days, and there are 6 Hanno-class and 9 offshore transport ships in the merchant ship. If the 6 Calais-class warships and 15 merchant ships were fully manned, 1,500 naval officers would be required, while the improved Galen-class warships would require a crew of 350 people each, and of course, a senior captain would be required to handle them. ”
"Huh! Isn't it possible to improve the mid-level captain? Why did you become a senior captain? Lu Cheng asked suspiciously.
Liya smiled awkwardly: "My lord, in order to pursue better results, we have added an extra layer of artillery deck, so the displacement has increased to 1350 tons. ”
"My lord! Your ship is in need of you in our country! Minglian's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "As long as the price is reasonable and you are willing to sell, we are willing to buy it!" ”
Lu Cheng looked at Liya, he didn't know how expensive the improved model was to manufacture.
Liya said softly: "My lord, the cost is 55,000 gold coins, and you can sell it for 100,000 gold coins." ”
it! 100,000 gold coins for a ship!
Lu Cheng was dumbfounded when he heard Liya's words, he remembered that the cost of the first few Galen-class ships was less than 20,000, how could it soar to more than 50,000 as soon as it was refitted? Is there such a frustrating modification method?
But at this time, there is no time to lament the high cost: "Miss Minglian, the cost of the improved Galen-class has risen many times, so the price of each ship is 100,000 gold coins, if you are not sure about the configuration and combat effectiveness of the improved model, you can go to the dockyard with Alice to check the situation of the battleship before deciding whether to buy it." ”
Minglian shook her head: "I've seen the sketch, this price is very reasonable, and besides, the lord promised to sell 5 Galen-class warships to us, these 2 can also be regarded as part of the transaction, here is 200,000 gold coins, please take a look." ”
Minglian applied for the transaction without hesitation, Lu Cheng agreed to the transaction after seeing the correct amount, and got a huge sum of 180,000 gold coins after removing the 10% transaction tax, which is the largest single transaction in history, Lu Cheng looked at the gold coin balance of the territory a few more times, and sighed that the profit of high-end products is really high, if you sell ordinary items, it will take many days to earn 10,000 gold coins, how can it compare to the transaction amount of tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of dollars like a battleship.
Lu Cheng secretly thought that he must take the high-end route in the future, and the profit of a boat is definitely more valuable than the same quality of bread, and there is less labor and man-hours.
Talent and high-end products, this is the perfect match!
"Minglian, don't worry, we have signed a contract, I will do my duty as an ally, and I will not sit idly by and watch Sang Lai be invaded!" Lu Cheng saw that Minglian was still full of worries, so he comforted.
Minglian breathed a sigh of relief, what she was most worried about was that Lu Cheng retreated in the face of difficulties, the current Sanglai country can be described as a domestic and foreign difficulty, and the country may be destroyed in a few minutes, so Lu Cheng's words of assurance made the pressure in her heart reduce a lot: "Thank you, my lord, our Sanglai country will not forget the kindness of the adult." ”
Forget about kindness or something, you are my future subjects.
Lu Cheng glanced at the people in the conference hall and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then we should discuss the matter of sending troops!" ”
