Chapter 244: The Baron Who Can't Get Rid of It
Admiral Max took the scroll handed over by Baron Isaac and read it carefully. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The well-worded order was largely in line with his judgment, and Carlyle IV clearly understood the purpose of his letter of invitation to war, and ordered the elite fleet to be stationed in place, except for one thing that made Max very concerned: the order said that Baron Isaac would participate in all military discussions as the royal representative.
However, this young man should not make any waves, and he participated in the discussion, probably to add some military experience to him. Thinking of this, the corners of Admiral Max's tense mouth finally relaxed.
"Admiral Max, your Ice Dragon is really unusual. I've seen a lot of battleships, but none of them can match yours. Baron Isaac held on to the railing of the ship's side and slapped it vigorously, and a large opal ring on his finger shook Admiral Max's eyes for a moment.
"Thank you for the compliment. Max was not humble in his approach to praise, and the Ice Dragon was well deserved.
"Oh, that's uh-"
Isaac walked up to the new Knight Lord and stopped, and the female guard who followed next to him hurriedly whispered in his ear: "Lord Blair." ”
"Yes, Lord Blair. Isaac patted the other man on the shoulder affectionately.
Ander Blair hurried to salute. Although he hadn't fully adapted to being a knight lord in just a few months, proper etiquette had been incorporated into the daily lives of most sea knights, and he was able to do it meticulously by instinct.
"Oh, Prime Minister Hall, why didn't you see it?" asked Baron Isaac, looking around for a moment, then turning back.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister has gone on a secret mission. Admiral Max replied briefly.
He felt that His Majesty the Emperor had sent such a rookie over for the sake of presence, and the real purpose of the fleet's trip would definitely not be told to this kid.
"Well, he'll be back soon, right? I'd like to have a good talk with him. Baron Isaac looked regretful.
"The mission is complete, and it will naturally come back. Admiral Max was now more certain that the baron did not know the true purpose of Hall's trip.
In that case, let's quickly change the subject, thinking so, he walked up to Baron Isaac and said, "Your Excellency, I have prepared a dinner for you. ”
Isaac was quite talkative, nodded and said, "Okay, let's see what you have here." ”
"The fleet has been out for a long time, the supplies are limited, and there are places where hospitality is not good, and I hope that the adults will not laugh. Max said and led Isaac in the direction of the restaurant.
"Hey, wait. Baron Isaac did not follow him, "You should prepare a few clean cabins for my entourage first, especially for women, and have separate rooms." ”
Admiral Max was a little surprised: "My lord, don't you have your own ship?"
"Yes, but I'm not a battleship, it's just a B-class ship, how can it compare to your Ice Dragon? You have to show me around this ship!" Baron Isaac looked very interested.
"My lord, although this ship is very large, there are also many soldiers, so the cabin area for each person is really limited. And you know, the sea conditions are not good, and the taste of the lower layers is a little indecent, and even if you clean it out, it will inevitably not match your identity. "Admiral Max feels that his head is too big, is this envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor really a tourist attraction?
"That's right, but I, the envoy, don't stay with the navy officers, and I'm afraid that Your Majesty will accuse me of being lazy and lazy when I go back. Baron Isaac said with some embarrassment.
"No, no, you come over every few days to check it out, and it's the same. Admiral Max now felt that he would rather deal with a hundred pirate ships than with a single nobleman.
"Really?" Baron Isaac hesitated.
"The Admiral is right, it's the same. One of the leading female guards grabbed his sleeve and persuaded him, the opal ring on her hand, though smaller, was just as conspicuous, and it seemed that it was the common jewelry of the people around the baron.
Another female guard also came over and said, "My lord, let's not disturb the admiral too much." If you say too much, you will lose. ”
Baron Isaac nodded reluctantly.
Admiral Max exhaled: it seems that this boy's entourage is more eye-catching than himself. Of course, it may be that these girls called guards, who are actually maids, do not want to spend the night on this sweaty warship, but it can be imagined.
Regardless, the young man with curly ginger hair finally heeded the advice and, after picking a bit about the food on board, returned to his ship to rest.
For the next three or four days, he went to the Sea Dragon every day, and kept pulling Max around the ship to ask questions, and seemed to be full of curiosity about everything on the warship, but the questions he asked were really a little unbounded.
"Lord Blair, you can take the envoy to inspect it, I'm going to check the recent material consumption!" Max dragged Blair over and pushed it to Baron Isaac.
Blair was immediately dumbfounded, how did he know the answer to questions such as "which is faster between this ship and the flying fish at sea" and "is there a whale that can swallow five battleships in one bite"?
In the face of these problems, even Admiral Max fled, but before he could enter the hatch, the sound of explosions coming from the direction of Beifeng Song Island stopped him.
Now the location where the elite fleet is anchored is closer to North Kaede Island than a month ago, only more than twenty nautical miles, and the outline of Kaede Island is faintly visible in the distance.
"What's wrong?" Admiral Max turned and walked back to the upper deck, holding up the binoculars in front of him.
Baron Isaac also followed, and found that the navy and Blair on the left and right were holding binoculars, and they were very angry and grabbed one casually and put it in front of him.
"Why isn't this clear?" he cried.
"My lord, you need to adjust the focus. Blair sighed and gave him a demonstration. Although he is not a serious navy, the sea knight is still relatively proficient in the affairs of sea routes.
"Oh, interesting!" Isaac's laughter quickly turned into an exaggerated exclamation, "Oops, what's the smoke?"
"Looks like something is going on on the island, and our spies should get the word through soon. Admiral Max couldn't tell exactly what was going on the island, but in the blurry picture of the monoculars, the smoke seemed to be not far from the June Union Palace.
It wasn't until after dinner that the pigeon finally brought a note.
Admiral Max watched it and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't because the news on the letter wasn't urgent, but if it hadn't arrived today, the baron might have taken a group of retinues with him and refused to leave in his captain's room.
