Chapter 591: Romance That Only Belongs to Men
Time has entered the end of spring, summer is beginning to faintly reveal its amazing heat, for many days, the area where MiG City is located is sunny and shining, around noon that time is as hot as summer, even the sea breeze blowing from the sea, also with a little hot feeling, many locals have taken off the heavy cotton clothes to resist the spring cold, put on the appropriate thin clothes, some races that are afraid of heat, such as the Minotaur, have put on summer short clothes, occasionally in places like the dock, Some of the people who did the manual work couldn't stand the heat and went shirtless, but in the city, it was occasionally seen that children who were too favored by adults were still wrapped like cotton balls by their parents who were worried about catching a cold, and their faces were red with sweat and a small face, and they went to and from school with other children who were not so thickly dressed.
Thanks to this weather, the president of the alliance has recently had a new habit, that is, every day at noon, during the hottest time, he has to ask people to get himself a glass of frozen sugar water to relieve the heat.
Originally, sugar water was not an uncommon thing, on the continent of Erathia, many races have the habit of making sugar water to drink, but they don't care that kind of drink is called sugar water, but sweet soup, the taste of this sweet soup has its own characteristics according to different regions and races, and Chen Jian's favorite is a special fruit sweet soup made by halflings.
Halflings love food is well-known on the mainland, their sweet soup, that is, the sugar water in Chen Jian's mouth, selected more than a dozen kinds of fruits common on the mainland as the main material, the cooking method is exquisite, and also added a special auxiliary material of their making, it tastes sweet but not greasy, refreshing and delicious, and then Chen Jian one day on a whim with the common method on the earth after chilling, it has become a superb drink to relieve the heat.
The president likes to drink this kind of thing, and the people below naturally try to satisfy it, so a huge ice cellar has been built in Fort Mig to store the ice from the snow-capped mountains of Sandafez, which is extremely cold all year round, which is a troublesome thing, because the Sandafez Mountains in the western part of Negan are a little too far away from the Solo Peninsula in the north of Negan, and it tastes a bit of a waste of money.
But no one complained about the president, compared to the previous exploitation of Lord Negan, now the president is just transporting an ice cube, which is really not worth mentioning, and the president did not use the power of the people in this matter, it was all done by the presidential guard, and by the way, the presidential guard also carried out a long-distance training, which can not be called a waste of money and labor, besides, the president's frugality is famous, this is a rare luxury, who can say anything?
The president's old butler almost shed tears for this matter, feeling that his master was finally a little enlightened, nobles, they must have the appearance of nobles, and luxury should be more luxurious, besides, transport an ice cube, those ice cubes are stored in the ice cellar, and they can't be used up for more than half a year, and they will be transported once a year, which is enough to cope with the whole summer, in the opinion of the old butler, it is really not a waste of money and labor, and according to the current situation, although his lord has not changed the name of the alliance to the empire, Change the title of the president to His Majesty, but it is clear that his own master is the supreme emperor of the future empire of the alliance, and as the emperor, it should be a great luxury to be able to do it, and it is not luxurious to say that this is a matter related to the dignity of the alliance
So recently, whenever the old butler has free time, he will look through some books on describing court etiquette that he found from the alliance library, because he is a little worried that he will not be able to do a good job as a royal court steward in the future, which is a difficult job related to the dignity of a country
Of course, what kind of empire, emperor, these are just wishful thinking of the old butler himself, Chen Jian himself didn't think about this, what he was thinking about now was how to fight back to Hammondal.
The sun was blazing outside, but Chen Jian was sitting in his study and slowly drinking his frozen sugar water, very comfortable, his eyes from time to time to look at the large map hanging on the opposite wall, the land that he had marked with conspicuous colors, that was Hammondal.
For Jian Chen, Negan is just the beginning.
Meddling in Titalia is just one of the processes.
Spreading the glory of the alliance to all corners of the continent is just a matter of convenience.
To unify the Erathia continent, of course, it is best if he succeeds, but it really doesn't work, and he doesn't care so much.
Hammondale was his target.
For Hammondal, Chen Jian has an inseparable plot, which can be seen from the name he gave the alliance, the Hammondale Race Alliance, if Hammondale is not re-in hand, this alliance will not be worthy of its name.
Moreover, it is also related to his commitment to the two women, and it is also related to his lifelong event, and both Temple and Morriel have said that they will have a wedding in Hammondal.
Now that the alliance has a certain strength, if Chen Jian really wants to, he can mobilize a large army to enter Bailders at any time, and then fight back to Hammondale in one fell swoop, but he did not do so.
Jian Chen knows very well that now is not the best time to take back Hammondale, the blade of doom in Farouk's hand is not easy to deal with, and the strength of the alliance is not enough to fight against the Erathia Empire and the Elven Kingdom in the Hammondale region at the same time, he doesn't want to lose Hammondale again, what he wants is that after he reoccupies Hammondal, other forces, whether it is the Erathia Empire or the Elven Kingdom, or anyone else, no longer dare to look at Hammondale with a straight eye, Hammondale can only be his Chen Jian's Hammondal, It is also the capital of the alliance that he has designated.
His dedication to Hammondale is a romance that only belongs to men.
Before the time comes, Chen Jian will naturally not move, but he will not sit back and wait for the time to come, he wants to create his own opportunity to fight back to Hammondal, and many of his strategic plans are actually aimed at this.
He is trying to strengthen the power of the Alliance, weakening all enemies in the open and in the shadows, and creating the best conditions for himself to counterattack Hammondale one day.
I'll be back, and, soon.
In his heart, Jian Chen said to himself.
The sound of the door opening interrupted Jian Chen's reverie, and he turned his head to look, only to see Esreina walking in with a happy face with a copy of information.
"Your Excellency, news has come from the First Fleet, and we have won"
There was undisguised joy in Esrena's tone, even though she had known that the victory of the Alliance in this battle was inevitable, but she still couldn't help but cheer after learning that the Alliance had indeed won.
Because the victory of the Alliance Army is the victory of the Alliance Concept, the victory of the man in front of her who she loves deeply, and that is equivalent to her victory.
The news she brought lifted Chen Jian's spirits: "Oh, finally the news came, what is the specific situation?" Bring it to me and show me."
"The Bracada army was completely destroyed, fifty-seven warships, including four air warships, were destroyed by our army, most of the tens of thousands of enemy troops were killed, and the rest were all captured by our army, except for a few high-ranking magicians who escaped using escape scrolls; One of our Sea Lion battleships was heavily damaged, nearly 2,000 soldiers were killed, and the air battleship and the mobile transfer door were not exposed. Esreina unfolded the information and handed it to Jian Chen, while not forgetting to explain the general situation, "The strength of the enemy is a bit unexpected to us, this battle has also exposed some problems with the naval early warning system, Lord Sylvia, they have fought a little hard, but in any case, it is still a great victory to be able to annihilate the powerful enemy who came prepared at such a small cost, and this is still a great victory At present, Lord Sylvia, they are busy cleaning up the battlefield, according to her, this time the loot should be very rich, Because the harpies have fished up a lot of intact magic wands from the sea, these magic wands are not the kind of goods made by the Ragner pirates, and they can be easily used by ordinary people. ”
Chen Jian took the information with a smile and responded: "Don't underestimate the magicians of Bracada, they have been established for thousands of years, of course, they also rely on it, from the appearance of the air warship, you can see how deep the country here is to destroy their navy at such a small cost, it is indeed a great victory, after I finish reading this, you can help me send a letter to Sylvia, tell her that I am quite satisfied with this result, but remind her that the aftermath of the fallen soldiers must be done well, The reward for meritorious soldiers must also be in place, this is the first battle after the promulgation of the military rank system, I don't know how many pairs of eyes in the army are staring at the First Fleet, and tell her that if she doesn't do this well, I won't allow her to take leave next time, and I will transfer Christine to a place she doesn't know to carry out secret missions, so that she can't see her lover"
Esreina chuckled and responded, looked down and saw that the sugar water in the soup bowl on Chen Jian's table had been drunk to the bottom, so she diligently helped him take a bowl, and then stood very obediently and picked up a fan to help Chen Jian fan gently - she is now more and more into the role of Chen Jian's life secretary.
Chen Jian unfolded the information and read it word by word.
He was eager to know the situation of the First Fleet at sea, and to be honest, although he agreed with Morriel and Sylvia's statement that the First Fleet should not use the dragon king's divine power and Doomsday Judgment magic in this battle, he had always been a little worried about whether there would be any accidents, because the opponent was an old power that could make aerial warships in a world of swords and magic, and this time he came prepared, so when he received Sylvia's request to dispatch the water magic master Tren to open the one-way portal, When mobilizing all the flight units of the Marine Corps under the First Fleet to participate in the war, Chen Jian was very worried for a while.
As far as the battle at sea is concerned, the First Fleet's carrier-based strength is already quite strong, but Sylvia still has to mobilize all the flight units of the Marine Corps, which shows that the battle is not as easy as imagined.
Fortunately, Sylvia did not disappoint him, nor did the First Fleet, and the alliance finally won the battle.
The Elasia Imperial Navy was defeated without a fight, the main force of the Bracada Mage Kingdom's navy was completely wiped out, and the southern seas of the continent have now become the backyard of the alliance navy, thinking of the huge benefits that that ocean can bring to the alliance, Chen Jian, who put down the intelligence, couldn't help but smile.
At this time, another piece of information was sent in by an archangel warrior.
"Your Excellency, news from the Rigna pirates that the Bracada have a fleet operating off the coast of Tytalia for an unknown purpose."
