"So they're the legendary Rigner pirates." Facing Jian Chen's old, he asked. Ashrena, who had just filled her stomach, was a little surprised, "But I didn't fight them. When I met them, they were long dead! ”

It turned out that after a few days of sailing at sea, Esrena and the others lost their way because of the fog, and these angels who had no sailing experience and impulsively went to sea with only one passion went around the sea several times. Inadvertently broke into a reef area.

They hadn't traveled around the reef area, but a large ship ran aground there.

Curious, Acerena led the people up to the ship, which had obviously only been on the reef for a short time, to take a look. It turned out that the people on board had long since died, although the angels had long heard of the Rigner pirates. But she hadn't seen them, and she couldn't tell the identities of these people for a while, so Acerena picked up a scimitar that had fallen to the ground, and was ready to try to verify it when she returned.

Because she felt that she had inherited one of Jian Chen's favors in order to come to this so-called archipelago near the Jadami Continent, she felt that she should remind Jian Chen of the existence of these people, all of whom were equipped with swords. The origin is unknown, maybe it is an enemy.

After figuring out the situation, Jian Chen asked Acereina to have a good rest, and left, being troubled like this. He was also completely sleepy, so he simply called everyone to a meeting.

He first told the news he had received from Esrena, and heard that there were Rigna pirates on the nearby sea, and everyone understood what Jian Chen's order yesterday meant.

"Although Mr. Tren said that the waters in this area are quite dangerous, and very few ships can find it. However, we must not take our precautions lightly, and coastal preparedness must be strengthened! ”

Chen Jian said to everyone in a deep voice, and then asked Sylvia: "Sylvia, can we use the existing small boat to explore the surrounding sea area first?" It's best to be able to draw a chart! ”

Sylvia thought for a moment and said, "That kind of small boat can't go far, otherwise it will be dangerous, and it's not impossible to use it to explore the nearby seas, just pay attention to the changes in the sharp qi, although the weather on the island has always been good, but from what happened to Acerena." I can be sure that the weather at sea is quite changeable, be careful not to go too far, there should be no major problems, among the people I brought before. There are quite a few people who are skilled sailors. Let them do it! ”

Chen Jian said: "Then this matter will be handed over to you!" ”

Sylvia added, "Your Excellency. Is it really possible to make a boat like the one you told the halflings and dwarves the other day? If you can really make this kind of work without wind power and manpower. Take advantage of the boat that can move forward with an iron man that can never sleep. That's a great deal in naval warfare! ”

Although she has not been a pirate for many years, Sylvia was very moved to hear that Chen Jian had plans to form a navy, and she was born in a pirate family, and she had a lot of experience in navigation, shipbuilding and naval warfare. It's a pity that the Erathia Empire doesn't attach much importance to the navy, and she has never had the opportunity to show her skills.

And the kind of boat that Chen Jian said in class a few days ago also aroused Sylvia's interest, the biggest problem of sea navigation is power, if you only rely on sails, it is good to have a smooth wind, but if it is not smooth, it is a very hard thing, so Sylvia knows very well that if the boat Chen Jian said is really built, it will have what kind of great significance.

Chen Jian said with a smile: "This kind of ship can't be built. It's up to the halflings and dwarves. I know the theory, but I haven't actually verified whether it works, but don't worry, I'll do my best to make it happen, because it's also quite important for us in the Hammondale Alliance! ”

After rearranging the defenses against the Rigner pirates, Jian Chen turned the conversation to his new plan.

Hearing that Chen Jian said that he would establish a stronghold in Baildes, mine the local iron ore, and set up a caravan to trade various materials, everyone couldn't help but talk about it.

There are several issues that need to be addressed, such as the concealment of the base. For example, transportation issues.

Everyone is still skeptical about whether Moriel can be fully trusted, but Chen Jian is not worried at all in this regard, although he can't say why, but he feels that Moriel can be trusted, so the problem of concealment was ignored by Chen Jian, and Moriel's underground fortress in Bailders has not been discovered so far, which has made this problem not a problem.

Therefore, the focus of everyone's discussion was on transportation, relying only on one-way portals, first, trouble, Tren had to run back with the seeming, and secondly, it was too expensive, building one-way magic portals, and every time they consumed a lot of magic materials. It is not yet possible to reuse.

If you do this for a long time, it will be quite a heavy burden, unless you can actually find a lot of magic mines in Baildus.

Hesfa, of course, was also present at the meeting. The old dwarf heard that Jian Chen intended to return to Baildus. Very excited: "There must be a magic mine, it's only a matter of time before you find it!" Just give us dwarves a little time, and we'll definitely find it! ”

Although Mao Jing joined the Hammondale Racial Alliance. He also knew that it was impossible to divide this mine and Chen Jian equally as before, but He Sifa didn't want to see this mine fall into the hands of people outside the alliance.

After this period of observation, Hesfa also preliminarily recognized this racial alliance that had not been established for a long time, and the clansmen were doing very well and were very happy. And if the alliance is strong, I believe that the dwarves will have a better life.

Moreover, the dwarves can also fully enjoy the fun of mining and minting, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, so for Chen Jian's proposal to set up a stronghold in Baierdes, Hesfa raised his hands and feet in favor, and he even decided to gather the designers of the clan to draw a plan according to Chen Jian's meaning after he returned.

But in the matter of forming a caravan, it is a bit troublesome, in order not to attract attention, this caravan is of course best not to use aliens to operate, and it is not possible to use the dwarf caravan under Hesfa, an alien caravan is too ostentatious, and everyone knows that the dwarves have come to Jian Chen, if the dwarf caravan appears again, it will expose the fact that Jian Chen is actually still on the continent of Erathia.

If it was known that this caravan had something to do with Chen You, it would be a troublesome matter, so this caravan could only be run by humans.

Morgo is a good candidate for a caravan leader. However, the business of Yuer Xiaoxiao Mondale was unprecedentedly prosperous, and most of the businessmen knew about the sarcastic figures, so he could only operate behind the scenes and could not be exposed to others.

The final result of the discussion was to select a number of capable men from among the human lords and human soldiers. Assemble a large caravansera, which will be trained by Morgo and how it will be run in general.

Moreover, these caravans were to be divided into two parts, one of which was centered on the alliance merchants. You can recruit people from outside the alliance to join the caravan that specializes in selling and buying, and this part of the caravan will travel around the mainland. On the one hand, it can be used as a source of income for the alliance. On the one hand, it also obtains the supplies needed by the Alliance. This part of the caravan is called the peripheral caravan.

The other part is the caravans composed entirely of people from the Alliance, these caravans are not really caravans, they are actually caravans in the guise of caravans, they obtain all kinds of supplies needed by the alliance from the outside caravans in the form of transactions, and then try to secretly transport them back to the underground of Baildus, store them in local warehouses, and then transfer them back to the Evermont Islands.

Separating the peripheral caravans from the convoys not only allows the peripheral caravans to greatly avoid the possibility of exposure, but also makes the stronghold of Bailders safer, otherwise multiple caravans will run back and forth in Baierdes, which will increase unnecessary risks. It is easy to be discovered by those who care about it, and it can also save a lot of manpower, after all, the peripheral caravan only needs the core personnel to be trustworthy people in the alliance.

Chen Jian also instructed Robert and Polly to place men in the outer caravans. First, to supervise the caravan, and secondly, to walk around with the caravan, you can collect intelligence by the way, and pave the way for the further development of the Skynet project in the future.

There is also the issue of confidentiality. There is no doubt that on the Evermont Islands. There must be a lot of spies from various forces now, just to find them out. It is not easy, and the only thing that can be done now is to ensure that these spies do not infiltrate the army and avoid the leakage of important military information.

But this time it was necessary to establish a new stronghold in Baildes. But in any case, it is necessary to draw manpower from the civilian population, and how to prevent these spies from mixing in is a big problem today.

But Jian Chen had an idea at this time, he was going to lure the snake out of the hole, dig out some of these spies, and then see if he could follow the vine and sweep away the spies.

With the arrangement of the orderly progress. In the next few days, Jian Chen was busy again, although there was no news from Moriel's side, but the preliminary preparations were started.

In Chen Jian's plan to build a military fortress, this stronghold was of course to be built into a military fortress, and after Chen Jian discussed it with Hesfa, a multi-functional and multi-purpose castle was designed, which was more defensive than the fortification. There is also a huge amount of space inside. In addition to various military facilities, there are also foundries for the production of weapons and equipment, smelters for refining ores, huge warehouses for storing huge quantities of materials, and of course, some entertainment facilities, otherwise everyone will go crazy every day except for training and work.

However, the specific plan depends on the location chosen by Mochel. It is modified according to the local geography, but for the dwarves, these are not too many problems.

In terms of the troops stationed in the local area and the personnel who worked, Chen Jian planned to adopt a rotation system, after all, the environment under the ground was not as good as the ground, and it was an unsightly secret base, so he stayed for a long time. Inevitably boredom will arise. Cultivating inertia, which in turn affects work efficiency and morale, so it is necessary to adopt a rotation system, and Chen Fa decided to rotate the personnel in this fortress in batches for a period of one year.

Jian Chen's side was busy, and Moriel was not idle in Bailders, and after a period of marching, she finally returned to her secret fortress.

The Dragon Queen is back, with an army with her, and wearing the legendary artifact Dragon King Divine Power, and the Negan soldiers in the secret fortress are of course ecstatic.

Although Morriel has repeatedly stated to everyone that he is now an ordinary general of the Hammondale Race Alliance, and this time he is only here to bring everyone to join this alliance and bring back all kinds of materials stored in the past, but the human water magic master Antonio, the cave man Erache, and the black dragon Cho Odoras think that it is just an excuse for the dragon queen not to reveal her plans.

They had already decided that this time the Dragon Queen must be trying to penetrate the enemy first, as before, and then slowly take over.

And from their point of view, the current plan of the dragon queen is going quite smoothly, and the dragon king's divine power on the dragon queen's body is the best proof.

"It seems that Ruohou has successfully gained the trust of that Chen Jian! I also got the dragon king's divine power." Antonio said happily to Eracher and Choodoras, "With the military power in hand, and the ability to lead the army out, the Dragon Queen is really powerful!" It's only been a long time! ”

Arache also nodded again and again: "Fortunately, I listened to you and didn't let the soldiers break up." Otherwise, you will regret dying! But why doesn't the Dragon Queen go back to Negan to develop now? Is there anything that Jian Chen wants in his hand? ”

Qiu Odoras was also puzzled: "Isn't that Chen Jian's power quite weak?" Shall we persuade the Dragon Queen? ”

Antonio glared at the two of them dissatisfied: "Don't underestimate Chen Fa too much, think about it." At the beginning of Baildes, how many soldiers did Jian Chen have? But now you look at it, how many soldiers are under the Dragon Queen? The fact that the Dragon Queen can bring out this army shows that there are more troops there in Jian Chen! What does this change mean? And also. Don't you see the equipment of this army? I just got close to one of the officers, you know what I heard? All of that gear was crafted by the Hill Dwarves! He also said. When we get to that alliance, we can also get such equipment! What kind of financial and material resources is this? These alone are enough to make the Dragon Queen tempted! In a word. Follow the dragon queen and do a good job. Let's do something, we just do it and leave, now the dragon queen doesn't want to say, there must be her reason! Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, so as not to find it yourself, and you don't know the means of the dragon queen! ”

Eracher and Choodoras thought about it, and immediately nodded their heads again and again. (To be continued)
