The Sea Emperor has finally withdrawn here, which is undoubtedly very, very good news for the port of Edria. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAt least those ships that go to sea don't have to worry anymore. However, in order to prevent the Sea Tribes from killing a horseman, many merchant ships asked the port fleet to escort them.
To such a request, the garrison replied to them that it was 20,000 gold coins at a time. Those merchant ships actually agreed, but they contributed together, and the distribution to each family was less than 3,000 gold coins. But for these fully loaded merchant ships, this is really nothing, not to mention, the wool comes from the sheep, and the escort fee can be directly passed on to the cost of goods.
Of course, escorting with five other high-speed warships is not suitable. First, the speed of merchant ships is only 7-8 knots, and the speed of 37 knots is wasteful. Second, high-speed ships are small and can't hold much. Especially this time, Achea also plans to ship some finished products back to the North Continent for sale. Both the Fourth Princess and Arsleia have promised to help open up the sales market in the Northern Continent. Not only did they express their position, but many pro-guards from aristocratic families also said that the family chamber of commerce would do their best to help open the market. Thirdly, the firepower of high-speed ships is also a problem, once it encounters the Sea Clan, a single high-speed ship can only cope with less than a thousand people. Of course, it is impossible to send all five high-speed ships. Therefore, the most suitable thing for the higher-ups to be sent to the Omaha to escort merchant ships was to do so. In particular, the Omaha is a warship equipped with Eagle Knights, which is much more efficient at sea and air search than the Fantasy, which only has seabird reconnaissance units. It is even possible to transfer small batches of materials between ships without stopping the ship.
This time he returned to the northern continent, and Luo Yi escorted the goods with the ship. Although the Omaha was nominally a warship belonging to the garrison, in private even the lord had to admit that Fairy Springs had absolute control over the entire fleet.
Seventy percent of the cost of this escort went to the Fairy Spring. The remaining 30% is the referral fee.
This side was busy preparing for the escort of merchant ships, and the other side of the country was not idle.
Since getting the news that there will be another beast tide in two months. Chiernis hurried back without even coming to the dukedom, so he and Phyrus hurried to the palace to ask for His Majesty's support.
The fourth princess returned to the capital that morning. His Majesty Edward was both loving and angry with this little daughter. What I love is that she returned safely from the mainland. The angry thing is that she went to the New World to play without his consent, and made such a big mess. Especially when she mortgaged her beloved princess crown for Chirness's sake. Edward also knew that Chirness was wholeheartedly doing things for him, and helping Chirness was actually helping himself. So I reprimanded her a few words. No, the fourth princess's small mouth was pouting, and she looked like she was about to cry. Edward didn't even bother to talk about it. had to punish her for two months and not leave the palace.
In the afternoon, Phyllus and the others braved the scorching sun to the palace. Along the way, Phyrus was soaking wet, but he noticed that Chirnith wasn't sweating much. Upon asking, Chirness told him that he had an insulated necklace. The ambient temperature can be regulated. Philus almost grabbed him by the neck. In the end, it was Chiernis who gave one to his cousin, which saved his life.
Although the palace is resplendent and splendid, it is also hot enough. With the experience of the past, Chiernis took the initiative to present the insulated necklace. Edward was full of praise for the necklace. But what Chirness said next would keep him awake.
It is well known that the port of Edria in the New World is now not only an important source of economy for the Kingdom of Gamon, but also an important reason why the Kingdom of Gammon has a say in the entire Northern Continent. Once the beast tide occurs again, there will definitely be countries in the entire Pioneer Alliance that will take this opportunity to attack the Jiameng Kingdom, and it is very likely that they will lose their status as the dominant country. Even if he had a magical succubus soothsayer, Kena, could not have predicted the chain reaction that would ensue.
His Majesty Edward asked him what time he had asked Chirness for reinforcements.
First, how many troops are needed?
Second, it's too late to rush over.
Third, will such an increase in troops bring reinforcements into it?
Chiernis's answer to the above three is yes.
First, it takes at least 1,000 well-armed soldiers. Because the Torontoni has been refitted, the cargo load has been reduced, and there is no problem carrying 800 to 900 people. If Master Akrama can master the Traction Pattern and the Stability Pattern, he can add two 100-man troop carriers, and the Fantasy can also carry 50 people.
The second one, also based on the fact that Master Akrama has thoroughly absorbed the Traction Demon Pattern, it only takes less than a month for the Fantasy to tow the Torondoni to sail back and forth across the ocean. There are still two months left before the Red Full Moon Day, and if the Master can eat the magic pattern within a month, he will be able to bring 200 more people to support.
Thirdly, the entire Northern Continent is well aware of the importance of the ports of Edria, especially the Kingdom of Gamon, and the importance is self-evident. It is expected that seeing the port of Edria swallowed up by the tide of beasts, it is better to fight hard. He specifically mentioned the presence of Achea, in which there is a high probability that a miracle will be created.
Edward heard him say the name from beginning to end. It was curious why Chiernis trusted him so much.
