"Did you hear that? Tieno served the Count of Lorraine. ”

"That champion swordsman Tieno?"

"Yes, that's him!"

"That guy is strong, isn't he very arrogant? I remember Duke Sandos recruited him, and he brought down the Duke and the chief swordsman of the Duke's family. ”

Originally, after Martin publicly declared that he wanted to be a solitary minister, the nobles were watching the play.

Martin didn't marry a nobleman, that is, he refused to join a faction.

The nobles' minds were much lighter.

But the name of a man is the shadow of a tree. Tienuo's addition made this originally calm trend suddenly become hot again.

Whether it's a champion knight or a champion swordsman, it's a rarity. Due to financial resources, equestrian competitions are held every four years in each province. Even the province of Bakaria, where the king is located, is only a provincial competition every four years, and then in the name of the king, a national competition is interspersed in the four years.

Those who can become champions are generally destined to be recruited by various giants. Those who have command skills will be promoted to the rank of Knight Commander or something. No matter how bad it is, be the head of the guard team who cares for the home, and take it out to pull the wind!

It seems that a strong person like Tienuo who wanders outside is simply rare.

Many of the nobles tried to woo him, but they were all rejected by the vengeful Tieno with a sword.

After a few times, everyone knew that Tie Nuo not only asked his boss to be strong enough, but at least to draw him. also wants to boss the orcs, not a small fight, but the kind that pulls up the entire provincial army to do a big job.

I thought that no one was destined to be the master of Tienuo.

After Tie Nuo has exhausted his heart, let's see which lucky one can accept him as a younger brother.

Unexpectedly, Tieno appeared behind Martin.

Although Martin publicly announced that Tieno would be the captain of the Lorrainburg Swordsmen and his vassal, seeing Tieno's humble gesture, everyone realized that Tieno must have fought with Martin, and Tieno lost as a dog.

Otherwise, Tienuo, whose eyes are above the top, would not be able to do this at all.

For this result, the nobles and the head of the knights could only sigh: "I can't learn! I can't learn!"

The recruitment ended in just five days.

Everyone felt that, in addition to the archers, Martin was simply not selecting soldiers, but selecting generals.

The guys from the swordsman team and the knights, let them out at random, and it won't be a problem to take down the soldiers of the five families.

The quality is so high that it's almost a loss of disease.

No way, the signboard of the Lorraine family is so good.

It's just that the report is at the end of February, and the army will be mobilized, at least until March.

In mid-January, leaving Jaime in Curt City to take care of logistics, and preparing Tieno Town to lead the troops, Martin braved the cold winter wind to rush back to Lorraine with Sylvie, Garr, and 60 newly selected Ranger Knights.

Martin was in such a hurry, firstly, because he was worried about the situation in Lorrainburg, and secondly, he received unexpected news from Jaime - there was a ship near Lorrainburg!

"Eleven years ago, the former Emperor Karl of the Rick Empire sent a mission to visit Bakaria on a large cruiser-class ship. Unfortunately, the big ship ran into the incoming Northland barbarian fleet at the mouth of the Rick River. Although the mission resisted, it was eventually boarded by the barbarian transport. Seeing that the emperor's warship was about to be taken away, the captain of the ship at that time, Filas, resolutely ordered the plug at the bottom of the ship to be pulled out and the ship sank by itself. ”

"After all, it was eleven years ago, and I can only find the general location from the historical materials, which is now in the river near Fort Lorraine. ”

Martin was pleasantly surprised by Jaime's news and asked Jaime: "The ship has been sinking for eleven years, will it have rotted long ago?"

"Probably not! because the ship is made of Nord spruce wood. This hard wood is so hard that it does not burn by fire, and it is comparatively difficult to cut and shape. It's not a thousand years of non-rotten, but it's okay to soak in water and not rot for a hundred years. ”

The news surprised Martin and worried him at the same time.

Surprisingly, if the wreck is found, Lorraine can have a bombing cruiser without having to climb the tech tree. After all, the ship was not sunk by the enemy's warships at the same time, and it is conceivable that the keel and deck should have been quite intact.

What worries me is - this is not a needle in a haystack, it's a big river fishing boat!

As a modern man, Martin is absolutely aware of how difficult it was to find and fish for boats at this level of technology in the feudal era.

The first is to find a boat.

The mouth of the Rick River is wide, with the mouth of the river alone measuring three kilometers. The phrase 'near the mouth of the river' in particular means finding a boat about 100 meters long from a place of at least 10 square kilometers and a depth of more than 20 meters.

In this era, there is no such thing as an oxygen tank, and trained sailors will dive 8~10 meters deep without equipment, and no matter how deep they are, they will die.

And this is no ordinary water, here is the mouth of a large river.

Rivers carry water to the sea, but they also bring sediment. Over time, the so-called alluvial plains will be formed, or islands in the middle of the river.

11 years have passed, and if one is not done well, the ship has long been buried in sand.

Did Martin ask someone to dig further under 20 meters of water?

Are you kidding!

In addition, there is a large amount of sand washed into the water at the mouth of the river, and visibility is quite low.

It is already difficult to find the boat, and even if it does, how to fish it is a serious problem.

The standard fishing method for large boats is to find a way to lift the boat up and tow it back to shore with a tugboat.

Another way to lift the boat to the surface is to build a bunch of balloons, tie ropes under the bottom of the boat, and then use the buoyancy of the balloons to lift the boat off the bottom.

The problem is that you also have to have someone who can dive underwater and tie the rope well......

With so many problems, Martin almost wanted to give up.

But Sylvie and Gal had to try.

"I grew up by the sea, and I'm very watery. I used to be able to dive to a depth of almost 30 feet. Now, I've gone through the bloody tournament, I've been blessed by the God of War, and my physique has improved a lot, and I think I can challenge 50 feet deep," said Gard.

"I'm also good at water. I am a Knight of the Holy Grail blessed by the Goddess, and I have a stronger physique because I have participated in bloody competitions at the warrior level. Sylvie said lightly.

Martin was dumbfounded, and finally said helplessly: "Okay! Wait for the weather to get warmer......

"No, now!"

"If the boat is found early, the craftsmen can start repairing it right away. As soon as spring begins, young master, you can start trading with Rick. ”

His own subordinates are working so hard, Martin is really touched and heartbroken.

So, the soldiers and people of Lorraine had just welcomed back their lord, and watched the large boxes of gold coins transported to the newly built warehouse, and before they had time to rejoice for a few days, they saw their lord with a few men and two sampans, and went to the mouth of the river to say what to fish.
