Chapter 205: Captain Jack
Melisandre looked at the shocking scene of the hundred sails crossing the sea in the distance, and tried to say something, but finally turned into a sigh, "Only the gods can explain where these navies came from." ”
Dani's translucent eyes beside her looked at the fleet, her eyes shining brightly, and her smile was sweet.
Lynn was standing on the fleet command ship he had just named the White Harbor, his hand clutching the railing of the tower, his face reddening.
"My lord," said Han Niu respectfully, "shall we go with the fleet to the Old Town, or shall we go back to the fishing village port?"
Although Lynn enjoyed the feeling of leading the sails and wanted to experience the grandeur of a naval battle, he still had a lot to attend to, and reluctantly turned his head to look at the mighty fleet behind him, and then fixed his eyes on the east coast of Fishing Village Harbor.
Lynn exhaled into the humid air and instructed the guard, "Slow down, lower the dinghy, and we'll go back to the territory." ”
Han Niu nodded in agreement, and hurriedly arranged for the sailors to make preparations, and in a few moments, the White Harbor would arrive two nautical miles outside the docks of the fishing village harbor.
Gripen Combined Fleet Commander and Captain Jack of the White Harbor stepped forward to Lynn.
Lynn had a simple assessment of the fleet commander he promoted, and he had a lot of unique insights into naval warfare, but the war was treacherous, and Lynn still planned to give him a final advice.
"After arriving in the waters of the Old City, after the Combined Fleet takes over the command of the Three Sisters Maritime Guard, you must block the surrounding waters as soon as possible, and it is your most important task not to give Stannis's fleet a chance to escape, and on this basis, if the army besieging the city needs your fleet to respond, you must also fully cooperate with the siege campaign. ”
Jack Sparrow is a seemingly insane, but resourceful captain. Due to the automatic identity matching of the new system, according to his own introduction, he came from a pirate family in Dorne, but in his early years, he was favored by Lynn's father, Viscount Rothschild, and this time he defected to the Rothschilds and swore allegiance to repay the Gripen family for saving their lives.
There is always a very gripping temperament in this person.
Bohemian, changeable temperament, loves rum, loves peanuts, loves all kinds of beauties.
He values love and righteousness without losing the selfishness of a pirate, he is not afraid of danger but is often afraid of facing it, and he is uninhibited but does not lose the grace of his gestures. He is an observant and cautious person in conversation.
He has the same name as the actor Jack Sparrow in the magical adventure movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and his face is somewhat similar in outline, but he is more burly, and he feels quite calm when he treats his work.
However, it is important to note that he, like all the soldiers who redeemed, swore to serve Lynn and swore allegiance to the Rothschilds.
Jack Sparrow saluted, knelt down on one knee with the command sword at his waist, and responded to Lynn's advice in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Lord Lord, Jack understands." ”
Lynn solemnly patted the latter's shoulder, expressing her expectations for him.
Soon the dinghy was lowered, and Lynn and the Guards boarded the dinghy and paddled towards the fishing village harbor on the east coast.
The pier of the fishing village port.
In the hold of a big-bellied Pantos cargo ship "Baggage", workers are making the final inventory of the baggage on the carrying.
This is a baggage ship specially equipped by Lynn for the combined fleet's war.
In the bilge of the Baggage, four dock workers, one carrying a lamp, one carrying a wax board and a pen, and two coolies were counting the food sacks in the cabin.
"Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, eighty......"
An old worker in charge of recording concentrated on sketching the number of sacks on the wax board, and today his task was only to make the final record for the loaded supply ship, and the work was very easy.
The lord's mansion bought the grain, which saved them from the usual trouble of transporting the goods to White Harbor for the merchants they worked for, waiting for the merchants' inquiries.
The Rothschilds never traded with civilians and were stingy in giving good prices.
The old worker's hand froze on the wax board, and he hesitated not to put pen to paper, but hesitated to ask his son, who was holding the lantern behind him, "Is it eighty after ninety-nine?"
Tirel Jr. opened his hands and counted, his face instantly collapsed under the light and shadow of the lantern, his lips trembled, he didn't dare to look his father in the eyes, "Dad, this, maybe......"
"Ge Laozi, haven't you counted with the old ship? Why do you have to think about it for so long? ”
"Only ninety-nine miles!"
"You ......"
Seeing that the old foreman really began to pull out the soles of his shoes, Tirell Jr. hurriedly held his little head and closed his eyes, there was no place to reason for this matter if he didn't learn the math well, he just hoped that the shoes would be lighter when they were photographed, and not slap his face.
The little lantern boy with his eyes closed silently counted in his heart for a moment, but he soon found that the soles of his shoes, which had fallen in a hurry, were never touched on his head.
Could it be that my father finally relented?
Cautiously opening his eyes, the boy suddenly noticed that there were several strangers around him, and a big burly man was next to him, holding a thick palm and grabbing the soles of his father's shoes in the air.
An urn-clad voice scolded: "You have to take it easy with the lantern on the low side of the cargo ship, and be careful that the lamp oil that ignites the fire falls on the ground and goes to the water." ”
The old foreman who was choked by the elbow recognized the man's armor. and the Gripen coat of arms on his chest, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Before he could react, he saw two more people coming down from the spiral staircase.
A young and clear voice asked, "How long will it take for the baggage ship to be loaded?"
The person who spoke out was none other than Lynn, and after he and his guards returned to the dock of Fishing Village Harbor from the fleet in a dinghy, they happened to see the cargo ship moored at the dock, and knew that it was a ration ship for the combined fleet, so they took the opportunity to inspect it.
As soon as Lynn spoke, a middle-aged man who looked like a steward smiled and said, "There is also a batch of thousands of fresh cabbages that are complete, and they are arranged in sufficient quantities according to the instructions from the Lord's Mansion." ”
Lynn glanced at the bottom of the ship, the shelves were piled with potatoes and dry bread, the barrels and barrels of salt were neatly arranged in a corner of the cabin, and the workers in the bilge seemed to be doing the final count, everything was in order.
Satisfied nodded slightly.
Roughly estimating the amount of food supplies for the 10,000-person scale of some United Fleets, Lynn said: "This ship will come to dock on time in the next few days, and the goods I need will be delivered to the fishing village port dock on time according to this amount every day to be loaded, and the payment will be taken to the mansion when the time comes." ”
The steward smiled when he heard this, and nodded and bowed.
He hunched his back and reassured, "No problem, okay, Lord Lord." ”
