The battle is not only outside, but also outside the Shafan Harbor, there are also several sporadic battles between the old six

"This battle is a bit aggrieved, you see those pirates, they fight so fiercely, and the ship runs really fast, such a way of fighting. Even if you fight for ten years, it won't help, unless you use the army. ”

The town of Yuanfan, on the coast, is a town founded by Romon near the port, where the land is fertile and has its own port. The money earned from daily farming and carrying goods can make people's small lives very prosperous and prosperous. A row of twin tower-like buildings stood tall in the town's inner walls. The watchtower was about sixteen or seventeen meters high, more than a large section taller than all the houses in the vicinity, and there were patrolling warriors on it, who were constantly patrolling, dozens of crossbows, arranged on different floors and bow holes.

It can be said that although it is close to the sea, the defense force is still in place, and as the owner of this town, Romon puts the defense first in the layout of any territory.

Fafer and Havawi were standing at the top of the watchtower, and Fafer said, holding a telescope designed by Romon in his hand. Observing the situation on the sea in the distance.

In that part of the sea, a few sporadic pirates were fighting with a few patrol ships, but it was clear that although the few patrol ships sent out by the viscount were quite deterrent, compared to these pirates, these professional combatants were still relatively disadvantaged.

"It seems that pirates weren't so fierce before, but if they were co-opted by Waddenvin, they would be much more powerful?" Hawavi was very puzzled, but he also agreed and said: "Unless you use a formal navy to win more, otherwise, with only a few warships, you want to fight this group of elite guys, it is self-inflicted." ”

"Perhaps, you are right. Looking at the situation at sea, Fafer, who was holding up the binoculars to watch, sighed, looking a little unhappy.

On the sea, a duel is unfolding!

"Full speed ahead! All combatants get ready!"

"Full speed ahead! All combatants get ready!"

The sea patrol ship, which received the merchant's distress signal, fought with the pirate ship.

Zhuo was the first to attack the patrol ship. And the pirate battleship was not to be outdone, several ships leaned together.

There was one pirate ship with dozens of pirates on it, seven or eight patrol ships, and the patrol fighters had long been ready for battle, and they pounced on it together, and all of a sudden, on the deck, began to fight.

During the fight, people kept falling and falling into the sea, and the smell of blood attracted countless sharks to eat happily in the sea. The screams of the sea continued, even more so than on the deck. In this case, even Fafer and Haivawi, who were watching these from afar, couldn't help but put down the binoculars in their hands. His brow furrowed.

"War at sea is as cruel as war on land. Fafer commented lightly.

At this time, Fafer had begun to mature because of many battles, and he was not afraid of this bloody scene.

Haiwawi on the side nodded, and suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a few black dots that appeared in the other direction: "Look, what are those?"

"I'll see. Fafer hurriedly picked up the telescope in his hand and looked in that direction, and Haivawi also raised the telescope to look. And I saw that the black spots on the surface of the sea were getting bigger and bigger. Its appearance gradually became clear, it was several patrol warships of the same size as the previous battleship.

"Reinforcements have arrived. Fafer said.

And as soon as it saw that the patrol ship came to help, the pirate ship immediately wisely chose to retreat: "Retreat,

。

Within a few minutes, I saw that on the sea that was still fighting just now, only a few dilapidated patrol boats were left, and after those reinforcement patrol boats appeared, those who helped rescue and pulled the boats were busy.

For the fast-paced pirate bands that fled, they had nothing to do but curse

。

In terms of speed, the patrol boat is still fast, but there are several people in a single boat, and it is much more difficult to get a few boats and a dozen boats to come forward together.

"The battle is over. Fafer, who was watching from the watchtower, sighed, looking a little lost.

"What, feel bored, want to fight?" Havawi looked at the situation on the sea, smiled and patted Farfer's shoulder, with a hint of encouragement: "Don't worry, there will be a chance, remember what was said at the meeting? Be patient."

"Well, I hope those nobles can discuss it quickly, if it continues like this, the pirate group will only become more and more difficult to deal with. Fafer muttered as he walked down: "Why do you say they have become stronger, and it seems that there are many fewer people, could it be a knockout round?"

Fafer didn't know that this was a word of worship

In the fierce battle of piracy, some of them were killed, but most of them succumbed.

Waddenwen needed manpower to build a state, and those who failed and were not strong enough naturally became cultivators, and only the most elite pirates continued to exist.

"Why, are you going back now?" asked Haivawi in the back.

"What are you doing here after the fight? I heard that Romon went to Viscount Edel's meeting. I'll go see if I come back. After saying this, Fafer waved his hand at the door without looking back, and then went down the watchtower. Only Haivawi was left alone to say to himself: "It's strange to come back, those nobles will only talk about it, and they can't get the point and trouble." ”

Shaking his head, he smiled wryly.

And it turned out that Haivawi's guess was not wrong at all.

In a palatial hall. The bright candlelight flickered, although it was daytime, there was no need to light so many magic lamps and candles, but in order to show the identity and pomp of the nobles, in the eyes of many nobles, this waste was still somewhat necessary.

A petition signed by dozens of merchants was now placed on a long yellow table, and the nearby nobles sat around to discuss what could be done to curb the expansion of the pirates more effectively.

Right during the meeting. Waldeng's rampant move was not only a slap in the face to Viscount Edel, but also a slap to all the nobles. and they will be all disgraced.

"I don't think you can be soft on these bastards, the more you are afraid of them, the more they will gain an inch, so my point of view is very simple, it is a tooth for a tooth, since they use force to win, then we need to use more force to destroy their will! Otherwise, they will only become more and more emboldened. Finally, become an inextricable cancer in our kingdom!" a nobleman was expounding his opinion in a very hateful manner at the meeting.

Not only him, but all the nobles who suffered indirect losses did not look very good-looking, to be exact, it was very ugly, after all, almost all trading houses had more or less relations with the nobles.

The loss of the merchant house, to some extent, was equal to the loss of the nobility.

Not to mention, the pressure from the merchants' guild, a consortium of comptoirs, is also extraordinary.

"I agree!" said the previous nobleman, who had just sat down, stood up again, expressing his support for the previous man's point of view.

After he sat down, some of the other nobles also expressed their opinions, and when this common interest was compromised, the nobles of several factions expressed a very unified opinion, that is, these pirates must not be allowed to continue like this.

Looking at the views of these concubines, Luo Meng sat on the chair, but did not speak.

It's not that he doesn't agree with this point of view, but he understands that Viscount Edel must have called them over to not only listen to what they say, but also have more important things to discuss.

Really. Just as he thought of this, Viscount Edel, who had been silent, stood up.

Always elegant, Viscount Edel, no matter what time and on any occasion, he will never forget the etiquette and demeanor required to be a nobleman.

After he stood up, he first nodded to everyone present, and then said, "You have already talked about it before, and here, I will briefly talk about some things that have been discussed in today's meeting. First of all, I convened this meeting because the activities of the pirate teams at sea are very rampant, which has seriously affected the merchants' going to sea, and in order to prevent the situation from worsening, I invite you to come here, hoping to find a solution to this matter. I have just heard some of your comments. Now, I would like to say my own proposal, and I think that the pirates must not continue to be left untouched in this way, and if they continue to be left untouched, one day. They will become a disgusting disease that will eat away at this vast and beautiful land. So, I propose, use the Navy to fight piracy, vote on this!"

"Agreed, agreed!" said the concubines below.

The rest is much simpler. Because the nobles present had more or less suffered losses in the middle of the war at sea and hated the pirates to the core, the meeting preliminarily passed a resolution to support the navy in fighting piracy.

Seeing this, Xiu Senya did not show joy, he understood the nature of the nobility too well.

Sure enough, when it comes to leadership. The nobles were reluctant to compromise, especially in the presence of the royal Count Husenya.

"Honorable Earl, your opinion is indeed good, and the formation of the kingdom's navy is also a due right, but although I am willing to contribute to the kingdom, my strength is limited, and the warships I can take out are really..."

"That's what I mean, Lord Earl. As soon as the nobleman sat down, the other nobles also stood up and said that their strength was relatively weak, and they really couldn't bring a battleship.

In fact, it's not that they are really as pitiful as they say, it's just that the nobles are unwilling to let the Earl of the Wang family lead this navy, because in this way, the private ships they contributed will be absorbed by the royal family, and in this case, they can't openly oppose it, so they can only shirk it.

Seeing this, Xiu Senya had expected it. But I couldn't help but turn blue.

Viscount Edel glanced at it. Sneered, at this time, the meeting had been held for a long time, and said: "Since there are such big differences, then we can continue the discussion at the next meeting." ”

"Agreed, agreed!" the nobles agreed, and the first meeting dispersed.
