Chapter 197: A Large Fleet

At the Viscount Castle, Anna is discussing with Adès about the construction of his domain, which is proceeding quickly with the support of a large amount of money and sufficient manpower.

The small village not far from the mine has already leveled the basic roads and land, and when Molly allocates his villagers to move in, the construction of official civilian housing can begin.

Adès and Yunni designed three different types of houses, ranging from the most exclusive bungalows to two-story wooden buildings, and the highest ones were two-and-a-half-story stone cottages.

The territory provides the most basic housing cost, and if the villagers want better living conditions, they can pay for it, choose a better type of house, and let the workers build it.

Of course, Ades also provides loans, so that people who don't have money can live in a good house, and the repayment conditions are quite relaxed, or people who are already skilled, as long as they are willing to work for Ades for a certain number of years, they can get a stone cottage, but relatively, the salary of the job is definitely a little low, so the person who wants to apply to measure whether it is cost-effective.

While the two were discussing some details, the butler hurriedly walked in from outside, saluted the head of the house, Anna and Ades, and said, "The fleet of nobles and merchants has set off, and the three old ships that the young lady arranged to go in have also set off with the team. ”

Anna chuckled and glanced at Adès and said, "This time it's up to the team hired from the Adventurer's Tavern to send back the information about the battle." ”

/ Ades rubbed his eyebrows, there were too many things he had discussed with Anna just now, and his mind was a little messy, he thought about it carefully and said, "It should be no problem, didn't Molly say that she arranged for the adventure team that the people from the black market went to find." The requirement is to have the ability to surviving beyond ordinary people in the sea. ”

Anna shook her head and said, "I'm not optimistic, I always feel insecure in the sea." ”

Anna can't swim. And she also gets seasick about life at sea. She has always resisted very much, and in the same way, she also thinks that if a person falls into the sea, she will never survive, especially her melee profession wearing steel armor, and if she falls into the sea, it is no different from a discus thrown into it.

Adès didn't want to say anything about her, could he just tell her that she had a phobia of water, and that she would be beaten to death by saying it. So he was silent for a moment, and said to the butler: "You keep an eye on this matter at any time, as soon as news comes back, no matter where Anna and Molly are or what they are doing, you must immediately tell them, because this involves the future development of the viscount, don't take it lightly." ”

The butler had now determined the position of the young man in front of him in the hearts of the two ladies, and not long ago. He also knew the forces behind Ades, and it could be said that Ades was now the top three powerful figures in the Southern Forest Branch of the Forest Goddess Church, if he and Hunter combined. The power will be able to overtake Cardinal.

Although neither he nor Hunter had the idea of setting up Cardinal, they couldn't help but think that the two uncles and nephews together could be said to be actually controlling the branch of the church in the southern forest.

So now what Ades said. It has a lot of weight in the Viscount's Palace, and both Anna and Molly have warned the middle and upper levels of the territory. Treat Adès as you would respect them, what he said. As long as it does not involve the inheritance of the Viscount's Palace, then the stewards, stewards, maids, and servants should all obey.

"Yes, Master Clifford, I'll keep an eye on the situation. The butler gave a very solemn salute, and then looked at Anna, who had no new orders, and the butler saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he took his leave softly, and walked backwards out of the room.

Anna glanced at the text on the table, and said to Adès with a bitter face: "Managing the territory is really an annoying thing, there are so many things that need to be solved every day, I am going crazy." ”

"It's been calculated now, when Molly first accepted the things of the Viscount Lordship before, it was a lot of trouble, how could she not straighten things out, she insisted on it for several years, and then reversed the embarrassing economy of the Viscount Mansion. Adès squinted at the noble lady, hoping that she would not be lazy and continue to work.

Anna sighed, looked at Ades pitifully and said, "Catherine hasn't seen her mother for a day, is it really good for you to treat a little girl like this?"

Ades was speechless at this, and rolled his eyes and kicked her out of the room, taking care of the rest for her, lest Catherine come to her mother.

On the volcanic island, the demon that has stabilized its ability after evolution is listening to the report of his subordinates, and the first generation of newborn demons has broken out of its eggs, which makes it finally have a feeling of being in the abyss, all the creatures before were humans, and when it evolved, it had to adopt a high-pressure management, that is, it was afraid that these humans would resist.

Although these newborn demons are still cowardly demons, in the main plane, these are its companions, although the demon is a chaotic creature, but after all, it still has a certain social nature, with an obvious social structure of superiors and subordinates.

If it's just a single person, it may not be long before this demon will go berserk and vent his tyrannical mentality, which is bad news for what the demon lord commands.

Now that he has a companion, this affection will be alleviated, and he will not spoil what the lord has ordered.

"Are you sure the humans are bringing us food again?" the demon standing under the altar asked aloud to the humans kneeling in front of him.

"Yes, Lord Baron, we have been in various fleets during this time, and the fleet that sailed this time was very large, more than ten large merchant ships, and many escort sails and battle sails, adding up to more than thirty. ”

The demon hugged his arms, and the tail behind him flicked unconsciously, and under the strong muscle control, the tail whistled as it waved.

The fleet is too big, and it is definitely not possible to resist head-on, the human in front of him represents all the people outside the cave, although it is said that these humans will not feel distressed if they die, but after all, this is accumulated over such a long time, and they have been providing food for themselves and participating in the construction of the island.

If they all die, they will really not be able to find a better labor force for a while, so the demon decided to back down on this fleet's voyage, and said to the kneeling humans: "Shrink the fleet outside, don't fight them, don't show up on the course, you are all my loyal men, this kind of battle of unequal strength, you can't be forced to die." ”

The demon spoke so well that the humans on their knees almost believed what it said.

But as soon as he remembered his own kind that had died before, he knew that this powerful demon always said one thing and did another, and if you believed it, it would not be far from death.

On the ship, the three knights under Scott's command were having a meeting in the VIP room next to the captain's room, and when they set sail, the nobles said that this time it was not an escort, and thirty-seven ships were walking together, and ordinary pirates would definitely not bump into each other and break their heads.

Therefore, in the future voyage, the fleet will be dispersed into several small fleets to lure (lure) the appearance of pirates, and then as the vanguard, the leading fleet must also support for a period of time, so that the following fleets can support, eliminate the pirates at one time, and ensure the safety of this route in the future.

And Scott's knights are the vanguard of the next five days, and they will lead the fleet to sail for five days in front of them to lure (lure) the appearance of pirates.

"Our luck is really bad, why is it not the Viscount's people who have been drawn?

"Don't complain, this lottery was already tricky, who told you to remember the wrong label, take the wrong lot, the knight of the Viscount's Mansion, but I haven't touched the box of the lottery. ”

A knight sitting on the side with a stern expression finally said: "It's nothing to win the lottery now, just leave the port, and now the pirates probably don't dare to come to us, after all, the fleet is so big, and when they can't bear it anymore, maybe five days have already passed." ”

"Sir, you have a point, I'm going to arrange a fleet and draw a few more ships with combat effectiveness to follow, so that the next time the lottery is drawn, they will be in rotation, and the person who wins the lottery will ......"

The knight with a stern expression nodded his head in agreement, and then said to his two companions: "This mission is very important, as a cousin of Baron Scott, I also participated in the mission, and the reward given by the baron is also very attractive, I hope everyone can work together to open the route." ”

This is also Sir Scott, the cousin of the current Baron Scott, whose father was a brother to the previous Baron Scott, and was made a lord for opening up commercial channels in the territory.

"Yes, Lord Sir. The two knights stood and saluted, and then went to draw the ship.

As long as the task can be completed perfectly, Baron Scott announced the mission reward in advance, as long as the completion of the task is recognized by most of the fiefdom nobles, then these two knights, a knight, will have the reward of the highest two knight fiefdoms, or even crowned as a lord, or a large amount of money and ships.

Not only Baron Scott is such a reward condition, but all the fiefdom nobles have given high-level rewards, and the shares, titles, and territories of the fleet are not stingy.

So this time the fleet sailed, everyone's morale was very high, and even hoped that the pirates would come soon, and after fighting to the death, they could go back to get the reward, as for whether they would lose?

Just kidding, if a large fleet with sixteen three-masted galleons and eighteen armed brigs loses, then it won't be long before the Black Iron Port will be captured by pirates. (To be continued......) R1292
