After a week of fun, the group arrived in the northern seaport city of Aldan, a major port for the import of Sam Raja wool, so the Han Shea League, which largely monopolized the trade, had a strong presence in the city, with its own docks and warehouses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info and his party settled in the place where the daily sound of the dock cannons and the handling of goods awaited, and they waited for the arrival of the transport to the new mark.

And so, early one morning, Salian, who had fallen asleep with his arms in his arms the night before, felt a voice calling to him softly, and he opened his eyes, and it was the happy Miss Schönek.

"Dear Lorana Esi, what is so happy?!"

"Haha, Salian, look out the window!"

Following the guidance of Miss Schönek's jade hand, Salian put her arm around Yulia, who was still sleeping, and looked out the window, his room facing the dock, from which he could enjoy afternoon tea while admiring the busy port.

At this time, he spotted a huge brown battleship slowly sailing into the harbor and approaching the dock. On her towering mast hangs the red flag of the Hamchea League, with a large gate painted in the center, the emblem of the Schöneke family. In addition, the bow of the ship was decorated with a wooden carving of a certain goddess, who, according to the keen eye of the Sarian Terror Knight, felt that the goddess had a similar appearance to Lorana Is.

"Is this the transportation we've been waiting for?" asked Miss Schönek with a smile.

"Haha, it's her, this seven-deck, four-masted galleon 'Goddess Sichen' is the flagship of my Schönek family and the Han Xie Alliance, and the most powerful warship in the entire northern seas at the moment. Sixty broadside magic cannons!"

"Hehe, so her bow ramming angle is Goddess Si Chen?"

"Well, and it's carved according to my appearance three years ago. ”

"Oh, that's why it's so beautiful!"

"Brother, what's the matter, wake up so early!" the Itkanria girl finally woke up.

"Oh, little Yulia, we can make big ships!" said Salian at once with the good news.

"Yes, I can see the sea from the sea!"

In the afternoon, the eagerly awaited crowd arrived at the docks, and Miss Schönek introduced Fairman, the captain of the "Goddess of the Morning," to Salian. This middle-aged man with a dark face and a sturdy figure polished by the sea looks like a person who loves the sea and is arrogant.

"Your Excellency the Earl of the Border District, welcome to the 'Goddess Si Chen', listen to my young lady, you will help us do something earth-shattering in the future!"

"Uncle Fairman, Salian has now been appointed Duke by the new Emperor!"

"Oh, so you've done something big?!" it seems that the news on the sea is indeed a little silden.

"I don't dare to be, I just let the people who are good for us ascend to the throne of God. Salian replied with a pleasant face.

"So does our Han Xie Alliance also have a place within the empire in the future?"

"Of course, we can now deal with the Ruger family with confidence and boldness, and there is no need to be afraid of the imperial power!"

"Alright, alright, let's talk about what we have on the ship! ”

This flagship-class battleship with a displacement of 2,500 tons is also the best natural residential area, and she is the command center in wartime, which can be said to be no less than the existence of any luxury cruise ship. Salian and the beauties all had comfortable rooms for them to live in. Lorana Ise also gave him the heart of the Leviathan, which Salian had been looking for.

After the "Goddess of Sichen" set sail, in the chart room at the stern of the ship, the curious Salian, under the instruction of Captain Fairman and Lorana Eis, was making out the routes on a large chart.

"Captain Fairman, are you saying that only two or three ports need to be built in my territory to take over all the trading markets in the north and south?"

"Yes, it's just a pity that we have too little share of the most convenient eastern route in land transportation, so Miss Werther was sent by the Alliance to open a trading post on the western route in Constance, and the Ruger family's current power in the east is not something we can shake. ”

"Now that the big thing has been accomplished, our main focus can be on dealing with the Ruger family, and one of the reasons why I returned to New Mark this time is to study a way to defeat the Ruger family. ”

"Well, I am very pleased that His Excellency the Duke has this thought, the eldest lady really didn't see the wrong person, hahahaha!"

The captain laughed heartily, and Miss Schönek pretended to be embarrassed to blush her pretty face, for it was hard to be a shy lady!

It was the middle of winter, and the northern seas were mostly covered in ice, and only experienced sailors could safely navigate the narrow waterways.

One night at sea, Yulia invited Salian to her room. But when the Duke pushed the door in, he found that the whole room was already pitch black, and perhaps the girl herself had forgotten the invitation, but Salian did not want to go back empty-handed, so he skillfully touched the bed, and took the person on the bed in his arms, and she was visibly frightened, trembling, and making a cry from the bottom. Salian felt that something was wrong, he carefully groped for the girl, and found that this woman was obviously much plumper than Yulia, especially the part below the collarbone, and his heart moved slightly, and he spoke.

"Haha, it's my little cat! Don't be afraid, I'll teach you well. ”

Then Salian bit the orc girl's little pointed ear with his mouth...

It turns out that the leader of the Southwestern faction is Anna on the surface, but she doesn't like faction fighting, so the core of this faction is actually Yulia, the girl of Itkanya. Since Lorana Ise sacrificed Teresa to Salian on Victory Day, the position of the northern faction has been strengthened. This made Yulia anxious, so she encouraged Aphroya, who originally wanted to go further with Salian, so she hit it off and gave Salian a surprise tonight. In this way, their southwestern faction has also increased its weight. How sad! It is embarrassing that the harem of the little New Mark Principality is also so intrigued.

They then passed through the bays and straits of the northern seas, and five days later came to an unknown coast of the Duchy of New Mark.

"Look, Salian, this is the place Estfalia and I have chosen, a natural harbor, tucked away in a small bay, where a defensive fort can be built on a small peninsula, where there is no threat of ice floes in winter, and which is only half a day's journey from your capital. ”

Salian didn't quite understand this, he pointed to the distance and asked, "Dear Lorana Ese, what are the piles on the shore over there?"

"Oh, those are the materials used to build port equipment and shipyards. ”

"And build a dock?!"

"Of course, if the ship breaks down, it will be repaired, and new ships will be built, and we are going to build three dry docks and a complete shipyard here, which will be the nautical center and shipbuilding center of the entire northern empire in the future!"

"Haha, then I not only have an army, but also a navy!"

The harbor had not yet taken shape, and after the warships had anchored on the coast, they lowered their boats and carried Salian to the shore. The staff here were all in the hands of the Hamchet League, and as soon as they had come ashore, Miss Schöneke arranged for the carriage and horses to go to Bellerin, the capital of the Salian.

Salian rode his horse across his vast wasteland, imagining that this uncultivated virgin land would bring him more honour in the future, perhaps one day enough to make him king.

Bellerin, a small city on the banks of the Xunbei River, the great river in the eastern part of the empire, was not even a settlement three hundred years ago. During the reconquest campaign initiated by the Duchy of Kerzen, some Tutonians came here with swords and seeds, and they found it safer to establish a settlement on a small sandbar in the middle of the river, so they settled down, and gradually more and more people came, including the areas on both sides of the river, and built the simplest walls, and later the acting officers of the Duke of Kerzen took a fancy to the place, and Bellerin became the headquarters of the government officials of the region. After many more years, due to marriage or war, the Neumark Krai was torn between various families, and finally reached Hohenstelingen. The original wealthy families all had a rich headquarters area, and they did not take it seriously, but after it was placed under the name of Hohenstelingen, it was different, and for a new prince, this was the core base. And the capital city of Bellerin is at the forefront of development.

Beginning with Salion's grandfather Friedrich, he invested heavily in the construction of Bellerin, the majestic Earl's Palace, the newer fortifications, the city road and the first drainage system, but to this day the capital of Salian is still a small city of 40,000 people.

Although the winter in the New Mark region was cold and damp, it was a hot scene, and when Sallian and his party arrived at Bellerin, they found that it had become a huge construction site, with many scaffolds outside the old city walls, and stones and timber piled up everywhere.

"Estéphaliana wants to establish a new city to the west of the city as an industrial center, and in the future it is possible to expand the areas to the north and south, with opera houses and concert halls! ”

"It's exciting, Lorana Ise, let's go into the city and see Estherfaria and my sister Evangerine, shall we?!"

Today was a big day for Bellerin, and for the first time the lord Sallian von Hohenstringen had returned to his domain, and the people rushed out to see the young duke at the sound of the church bells, and they were not disappointed, and the duke's handsome appearance and graceful bearing impressed the townspeople. They laughed and cheered, and followed the young lord to the door of the ducal palace, where Salian dismounted and stood on the steps of the square, and gave an impromptu speech to his people, the famous "people's struggle", in which he praised the courage and perseverance of the working people, and boosted their morale, which still brings tears to people's eyes even today. Salian can be said to be the founder of the new mark that broke with the traditions of the old era.
