Lynn was smirking at the cabbage on the shelf, and Dani looked at the scene with some fear.

Do adults have a problem with hypothesis?

The leader of the guards, Hood, also saw the smile of the lord, and his mood was not much calmer, he remembered that the lord had shown this strange smile when he first squinted on the city wall and looked at the group of pirates who were about to attack the fishing village.

Then he remembered the blood stains that remained on the shore, and the bloody massacre of a few days ago was still vivid.

"Hood, you said that the caravan of the Iron People passed by our port a few days ago and headed north?" Lynn retracted her smile.

"Yes, my lord, it was about three days ago, when we had just wiped out the attacking pirates, and they had come to the port to replenish fresh water. Hood replied.

Lynn nodded and continued to ask, "With the merchant ships of the Iron People, how many days will it take to go back and forth between Biting Bay and the widow?"

Hood didn't understand why the lord cared about this, he thought for a moment and gave an answer.

"Well, it usually takes about seven days for a fishing boat to make a round trip to the widow's hope, but it takes five days for the iron people's double-sail keel boat. ”

If you leave three days before and go back and forth in five days, it will take a day or two to load the cargo, which means that the merchant ships of the Iron Folk may arrive in their territory again in the next three days or so.

Lynn tapped her elbow with her arm, thinking carefully.

There was barely enough time.

However, he had to immediately inform Rodat on the Three Sisters Island and come back for reinforcements.

The caravans of the Iron People are all equipped with guards, and those guys who were born from pirates, even if they are ordinary sailors, are estimated to be much stronger than ordinary pirates.

Lynn had the idea of the best of both worlds.

He turned to the suspicious housekeeper and said, "Dani, how many craftsmen have we recruited recently, have you counted them?"

Dani was still wondering what the Lord was going to do, and for a moment she was a little engrossed, knowing that Lynn called her for the second time, "Dani?"

"Yes, my lord!"

When arranging the work, he was actually distracted, and Lynn reached out and pinched his eyebrows, feeling a little uneasy.

However, he didn't continue to get angry, and patiently asked again.

Dani replied quickly this time, "There are 27 craftsmen in total, and 30 laborers with no construction experience, Lord Lord. ”

"Didn't you say that these people could learn how to build it very quickly, and let them go and rebuild the wharf of the fishing village harbor now. ”

"Is it a renovation, sir?" asked Dani, stunned.

"No, it's all torn down and rebuilt. ”

The housekeeper was a little surprised.

Although it is not a big project to tear down the wharf and rebuild it, after all, the wharf of the fishing village port is not large, but the rebuilding is not as simple as building a house, which means that the port originally only had two mooring points, and when it is repaired, only one can be left, if it is on the mall route or when the fishing boats return, this will be very affected.

However, she didn't know that Lynn's purpose was to keep the small dock of the fishing boat harbor busy for the time being.

He didn't plan to tell Dani about this, as a housekeeper, he only needed to do his daily affairs and obey the arrangement, an internal management, involving too many things in foreign wars, was not a good phenomenon.

Hood, the leader of the guards, had probably guessed what the lord wanted to do, and he pursed his lips to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

Dani lives in a large family, and she learns to read words and emotions at an early age, and has insight into the most basic human hearts.

For example, at this time, the lord seemed to have something to say between him and the leader of his guards, Hood.

Dani chose to retire with interest.

"My lord, then I'll go and get busy first. ”

Lynn is pleased with the new housekeeper's current performance, doing everything politely and carefully.

The fourteen-year-old girl has such a thought, and sure enough, a good education is very important.

Lynn bowed slightly, and when the butler's back disappeared outside the basement door behind her, she said to the guard in a low voice, "Hood, give you a task." ”

Hood stood upright, and said solemnly when he heard the words: "My lord, you command." ”

"Send a few guards to ride north along the coastline, let them take the ravens with them, and notify you as soon as they see the merchant ships of the Iron People heading south, and after receiving the letter, you will organize a few fishing boats to block the docks entering the port. ”

Hu De was stunned for a moment, "My lord, are you not going to replenish fresh water for those iron people?"

Lynn smiled mysteriously and said lightly: "No, if you don't give them fresh water, they won't leave, and you said that they docked at our dock three days ago, but I don't know at all, which means that they are very disciplined and will not get off the ship rashly, empty ships are so careful, when they are full of goods, I am afraid they will be even more vigilant." ”

Hood's face was swollen red with a beard, and he cautiously looked at the lord beside him, and in the dim light of the torches in the basement, young Lynn's face had a strange hideousness.

"Your Excellency is trying to attack and kill the Ironfolk merchant ships in the harbor?" said Hood, bowing his head, "those guys will run away when they realize the problem, and the Ironmen's sailboats are running fast, and as long as they don't disembark, we don't seem to have much to do with them." ”

Lynn scrutinized Hood and said, "Hood, you are indeed a good person, with keen observation and calm thinking, but I don't think we need to let those people get off the boat, they will jump ship on their own." ”

Hood said in surprise: "But my lord, the iron people will not abandon the ship at will, and it is not easy for them to abandon the ship. ”

"It's not easy. ”

"But that's not up to them. Lynn suddenly narrowed her eyes slightly, "But what if their fresh water makes them thirstier and thirstier the more they drink, and even catch the seafaring plague......

Hood's face twitched, this was indeed a sinister but very effective solution.

The back was blocked by the fishing boat that had just left, and there was a plague on the ship, and those iron people must be very panicked, and jumping ship was an inevitable choice.

The fear of the plague is even three points more terrible than the curse of the witch in Westeros.

"But my lord, what about those men when they disembark? They have five merchant ships, and nearly two hundred sailors, all of whom are in the water to kill and plunder on the west coast, and we may not be able to take them down with our men. ”

Hood reminded Lynn that although your Lordship was brave enough to beat the pirates of the Three Sisters Island, it was as easy as killing chickens and pickled dogs, but meeting the people of the Iron Islands was a different matter.

Don't swell, adults.

Lynn knew this and handed Hood a reassuring pill.

The corners of his mouth turned down slightly.

Pick up a cabbage from the shelf and reach out and peel off the leaves on top of the cabbage.

Lynn took a deep breath and said, "The craftsmen who renovated the docks will set some traps around the dock deck in the next two days, and when those vicious guys are trapped in the narrow coastal area near the docks, no matter how strong the enemy is, they will be peeled off by us like cabbage." ”
