Chapter 588: Co-optation
"Not so strict, Captain Anne. It's just that...... I would venture to ask, now that the war is over, what are you and your subordinates going to do next...... How? ”
Arthas looked at Anne? Bonn asked.
"My words...... I want to go back to Stormwind, or Southsea...... Then, do whatever you want! ”
Annie? Bonn thought for a moment and replied.
Although a former member of the North Sea Pirates, but at that time Anne? Bonn is hell-bent on building her own fleet to avenge her father.
And now, the orcs have been defeated, and Annie? Bonn, now she, could not find any reason to be displaced.
Now that the pardon has been granted, Anne? Bonn intends to settle down in Stormwind, or at least, to see his father's statue inaugurated.
As for the rest of his men, do they plan to go into seclusion like themselves, or do they continue to be pirates, Anne? Bonn can't do that much.
"That's right, Captain Anne. You know, the Coalition fleet was wiped out in the Baladine Bay, and while you saved most of the crew, our ships were destroyed. ”
"The shipyard of Kurtilas is working hard to build new ships, but the first new ships to be launched will naturally be rationed to King Dalin's fleet first."
"In this case, I would like to invite you, along with some of your men, to join the navy of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and serve my father, and I hope you will seriously consider my request."
Alsace vs. Anne? Bonn spoke his mind at the beginning.
Unlike the pirates of the South Sea, the relationship between the pirates of the North Sea and humans is much closer, and most of their high-ranking cadres are humans.
Take Anne? Bonn, for example. Arthas felt that the captain could be taken over by the royal family of Lordaeron.
It's not just a matter of ships, over time. Annie? The pirate ships of Bonn and others will eventually be replaced by new ones, but these pirates. If military discipline can be observed, it will be a strong navy without exception.
Because of the willingness to spend money, the navy of the Lordaeron Kingdom has always had excellent ships, but its combat effectiveness has not been so ideal.
In the original stream of time, Arthas wanted to change that; And now, he has noticed what he needs.
"Me? Join Lordaeron's Navy? ”
Annie? Bonn's eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and he looked at Alsace in surprise.
"Well, of course. This is just my invitation, and if Captain Anne you feel that you are tired of life at sea, you can refuse me, it is your freedom. ”
Alsace was not going to force it.
"No, no, I'd be happy to play for you, His Royal Highness Prince Alsace...... But I'm a pirate, and my men ......."
Annie? Bonn said as he waved his hand in embarrassment.
The female pirate was not disgusted with Alsace's tiyì. But she knew that in the navy of the Lordaeron Kingdom, there were many people who had fought against her guys before, and if the two parts were mixed together......
Annie? Bonn didn't know what was going to happen. But it's definitely not what Alsace wants to see - it will be chaos.
"You don't have to worry about that, Captain Anne, with your amnesty. You and your men no longer have to worry about being pirates. As for the rest...... I'll try to get you a high enough position that you don't have to worry about being held back. ”
Arthas said with a smile.
Is this what a little kid should say?
- Annie? Bonn couldn't believe his ears.
Although Alsace is very young. But Annie? Bonn looked at his demeanor, his speech and demeanor. It looks like someone who has been sitting in this position for many years......
It's like ...... A king.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness Prince Alsace, for your trust. My men and I will be happy to help you. ”
Annie? Bonn did not hesitate to agree to the co-optation of Alsace.
She had a good impression of the young prince, and agreeing to it was a good way to repay the royal family for their efforts in the statue of her father—why not?
"So...... Captain Anne, I'll explain this to my father later...... Where are your men now? ”
Arthas nodded, then asked.
"In the bay of the Tirisfal glade, His Royal Highness Prince Alsace. Also, you can call me Anne, and from now on, I will no longer be a pirate captain. ”
Annie? Bonn said with a respectful bow to Arthas.
"Well, then, Annie, go back there and sift through your men a group of trustworthy honest men, remember, must be honest people. The rest of the people, let them go. Return to the city of Lordaeron with your chosen men to me, and my father will assign you a task. ”
Alsace vs. Anne? Bonn said.
"Understood, His Royal Highness Prince Arthas. I won't let you down. ”
Annie? Bonn nodded heavily, and then walked out of the study of His Majesty King Terenus with his head held high.
Tirio? Furding watched in amazement at the qiē that had just happened.
The lord of Hearthvale had not yet fully accepted this—what had happened in the days he had gone?
His Royal Highness the Prince of Arthas is calling the shots like a king!
Not only did he sign an amnesty on his father's behalf, but he also took it upon himself to recruit a group of pirates with the intention of enlisting them in the navy?
Tirio? He did not approve of Alsace's approach, but he did not consider it a coincidence.
There is only one possibility that this will happen, and that is that King Terenus really trusted the power to sit here and conduct government affairs to the Prince of Arthas.
Tirio? Fordin hesitated, but at the thought that King Terenus didn't know when he would return, he finally made up his mind.
"Your Royal Highness Prince Arthas, I have some things to report to you about this trip to Northrend, as well as the Frostwolf Clan."
Tirio? Ferding walked over to King Terenus's desk and bowed his head slightly.
Since a long time ago, Tirio? Fordin's ancestors swore allegiance to the Minehir family of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
To this day, even if Arthas is just a child, as long as his surname is Minethir, he is Tirio? Lord of Fordin.
"It just so happens that Lord Tirio, I also want to know if you have been on your way. Those orcs, there were no more accidents, did they? ”
Arthas looked at Tirio with his head down? Fordin, smiling slightly, didn't bother with his previous behavior, but went straight to the point. (To be continued......)
