140. Advanced fleet

This is not an ordinary oath, but an oath of legend, and every legendary powerhouse swears in the name of their own domain. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIf you break your oath, you will be attacked by the realm.

Mora Gotken made this vow, of course, with the intention of enlisting Esther as his ally, but more because he felt that he owed too much to this girl, and had a premonition that his future life would be mixed with this girl. In this way, it is better to make a legendary oath, so as not to do things that are unfavorable to East when you are not firm in the future.

East, of course, knows what the Oath of Legend is. He and Moura Gault had an unusually close relationship, and the experience of birth and death together made him trust Moura Gault very much. That's why he gave Dark Observer to her. But he didn't expect that the other party would make a legendary oath so decisively. If he doesn't want to lose his eternal ally, helping Mora Gaudt get his revenge is his only option.

But Moragotte's revenge is not an easy one to deal with. It was the highest-ranking old nobleman in Coronia, and the family had been stretched for thousands of years, with deep roots and incredible strength. But fortunately, Mora Gault's enemies are only a few individuals in the family, not the family itself. Otherwise, even a traverser like Easter, who has never been lawless and does not follow all the rules, will feel that there is nowhere to start.

But now, with Mora Gott, who has a deep understanding of the Pervas family, and a royal family who is bent on keeping the Pervas family alone. Easter came up with the idea of changing the host of the Pervas family, that is, to change someone to be the Duke of Pervas.

In East's opinion, this is most likely the plan of the Coron royal family as well. Because the top nobles like the Pervas family have long been entangled with the aristocracy of the entire Coronian Kingdom and even the royal family itself through countless marriages over the past thousands of years. Such a behemoth, if it were to be uprooted, would be an extremely dangerous move even for the royal family. This is likely to lead to a large-scale rebellion of the nobility, which in turn will lead to a civil war throughout the kingdom.

The most affordable way for the kingdom to dispel the Pervas family from going alone is to replace it with an absolutely obedient puppet as the Duke of Pervas. But a family as strong as Pervas could not have accepted such an outcome. Instead, the kingdom can only look for opponents of the current duke within the Pervas family, and try to push him to the throne of the next duke.

It's not Easter's turn to worry about that. All he needs to do now is focus on the current Duchess Juniels Pervas. As long as he and Moura Gaud are always ready, once they find that Juniels Pervas is in decline, they will start to exert their strength and attack each other in various ways.

Esther and Mora Gott are very patient people. They just need to protect themselves while waiting for the opportunity to come. Easter believes this opportunity will come soon. Faced with the approach of the business alliance, the progress of the Cologne royal family's internal integration will definitely get faster and faster.

When the group returned to the Seawolf Inn, they were surprised to find that there was an officer from the Void Fleet who had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing East and the others, the officer hurriedly stepped forward, first stood upright, saluted a very standard military salute, and then took out a document and said to Easter: "Sir, I am ordered by the captain of the Void Fleet Marine Corps of the King of Coronia, Valentina, to convey a message to the commander. Captain Valentina asked me to convey to the three commanders that a great dinner will be held in Kolunborg tomorrow evening. At the dinner, medals will be awarded to those who have made meritorious contributions in the campaign to eradicate the Green Cross cult. Please be sure to be present with the three commanders. Here are the military uniforms of the three officers and the invitation to the Kolunburg dinner, please sign for it. ”

Esther saw that the officer wore rank insignia on his collar and shoulders. This took him by surprise. In Coronia, there was no such thing in even the most elite Colombo City Guards. More often than not, an army will be under the command of the highest-ranking noble officer, unless there is a commander appointed by a higher noble.

As far as East knew, the city guards were still using the ancient constitution of ten men and one hundred chiefs. I didn't expect that in the Void Fleet, the military rank system had already begun to be used. This suggests that the Void Fleet is likely already a modern army, rather than a feudal army as Easter imagined. Easter knew better than most the advantages of a modern army against a hodgepodge of feudal armies recruited by lords of all ranks. This also better explains why under the command of the eldest princess, the Void Fleet is invincible and prestigious.

It's just that East doesn't know what else the Void Fleet has advanced in addition to the rank system. All of this should be understood by joining the Void Fleet in person.

He took the paperwork, wrote Sophia West's name in the signature column, and then asked Jessica to collect the package brought by the officer and go back to the room first. He himself remained in the lobby of the inn, intending to speak with the officer.

The officer was a young man in his twenties. Originally, he only knew that he would send dresses and invitations to the three chiefs, but who knew that he would meet three beautiful chiefs who were like flowers and jade. The sexy hostesses who had been watching the Seawolf Hotel saw that it was him, and after Easter's bold invitation and packing ticket testified to him that he had been left for questioning by the chief, he was very happy and decided to stay for a drink.

He sent a few soldiers who had helped him carry the package back to the camp first, and then followed Esther to the large bar of the Seawolf Hotel.

"I'm sorry for the hard work. Kept you waiting so long. I invite you to a drink as a token of our appreciation. ”

Esther asked the bartender behind the bar for two large glasses of the best liqueur and handed one to the officer.

"I don't know what you call it, what position do you hold in the Void Fleet?"

The officer did look like he'd been waiting a little longer. He took the glass, raised his head and took a big sip. "Sir, my name is Remar, and there are really not many people like you who are sympathetic to your subordinates, that is, only in our Void Fleet. Many times, even if a tired person is half dead, those noble lords will not even give you saliva to drink. I work in the logistics department of the Void Fleet and am a lieutenant staff officer in the logistics department. I used to work as a quartermaster in the city guard, which became the treasury of the nobles, and there were people who came to carry supplies at two ends in three days, but they didn't give any certificates, and I had to find a way to smooth out the accounts when I made a shortfall. I just don't think I can stand those masters, and I don't think the city guards can get better. But who knew that he was accused of embezzling military materiel during his tenure. I lost a lot of money to get out. Fortunately, there is also the Void Fleet, and a friend recommended that I work in the fleet, so that I will not starve to death in Colombo. ”

Remar apparently regarded Esther as one of his own, and after a few glasses of wine, he was eager to tell everything he knew. But it's no wonder that he doesn't have a sense of secrecy. In Coronia, because there were no enemies in the same plane, the concept of secrecy was not widespread at all. What's more, this is still the beautiful female commander of this fleet. Remar knew that the female prefect in front of him must be a strong man, and he might even be a legendary powerhouse. In order to curry favor with the female chief, he told the truth everything he knew.

Esther noticed that Remar's somewhat misty eyes had been chasing the figures of the waitresses, and he smiled inwardly.

After three years in the army, the sow is a sable! Easter understood the officer's performance. What's more, in order to eradicate the Green Cross cult this time, the entire Void Fleet did not take a holiday, so naturally these officers and soldiers were not given a chance to relax themselves.

East was kind enough to greet a beautiful hostess and ask her to help Lieutenant Remar relax. The hostess accepted the magic crystal that Esther had pulled out, and said that she would definitely give Remar a wonderful night. She called a friendly sister and helped her to take down the half-drunk Lieutenant Remar.

Through Remar's description, Esther figured out that this Void Fleet was the real main force of Coronia. The city guards and militia, as well as the private armies of the local nobility, were nothing more than chickens and dogs compared to it.

This is because this unit is a truly modern army. Since the eldest princess took over as the admiral of the fleet, a drastic reform of the fleet began. She first abolished the tradition of providing soldiers to the Void Fleet by nobles from all over the world, and instead levied military taxes from the nobles, set up a number of recruiting points in Coronia, recruited soldiers on her own, and then set up a military academy in the fleet to train qualified officers and various talents needed by the Void Fleet. Subsequently, the eldest princess adjusted the structure of the fleet, dividing the entire fleet into three departments - the War Department, the Logistics Department, and the Trade Department.

Among them, the combat department is responsible for the training of fleet personnel, the arrangement of tactics, the formulation and implementation of combat plans. The Logistics Department is responsible for the recruitment of personnel and the maintenance of ships, as well as the supply of the entire fleet. The main job of the Ministry of Trade is to select trade goods and earn more wealth from the Void trade, and it also has a job to understand the economic situation of the government and the people of each trade object, so that the Void Fleet can adjust the trading partners and the types of traded goods in time.

In East's opinion, the Void Fleet, which has been subdivided by departments, already has a trace of the rudiments of a modern army, and it can even be said that it has the capital to be independent of the Kingdom of Coronia. What now maintains the close relationship between the Void Fleet and Coronia is that there are a large number of members of the Coron family in the Void Fleet, and every member of the fleet is from the Kingdom of Coronia.

However, according to Valentina, many members of the Void Fleet will choose to find their other half in the fleet, and after giving birth to children, they will be handed over to the fleet school for education, and they will be carefully cultivated to become the talents needed by the fleet from an early age. If this development continues, the fleet's demand for the personnel of the Kingdom of Coronia will become lower and lower. A few generations later, it is likely that the fleet, which occupies such a source of wealth as the Void Trade, will not be attached to the Kingdom of Coronia, but will have a tendency to become independent.

A medieval feudal kingdom actually had such an advanced Void Fleet. This made Esther take a keen interest in the soul of the current fleet, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. With such an effective and resolute reform measure, how did the eldest princess do it?
