Chapter 672: Naval Battle (Part II)
The secret report that Wuke and Fafer read is actually very simple. It's just a pound of things.
It was mentioned a few days ago. A kingdom with important maritime checkpoints
The Kingdom of Derbit, one of its navies. It was attacked by the elven fleet, because it was defenseless. Half of the main force has been wiped out!
Not only that, but the navies of the two nearby kingdoms were also attacked and suffered huge losses.
Although it is not news from my country, because this incident is too shocking and may show serious situations in the future, it still attracts the attention of the Chamber of Commerce personnel.
As soon as I heard a businessman talk about it. They immediately resorted to a magical way of passing the book, and in just a few back and forth, the news was safely delivered to Fafer.
At this time, Fafer and Nick looked at the letter, both with solemn expressions.
"The calamity has just passed, could it be that the war between the elves and the humans. Is it going to start again? such a massive attack, such an event. It's not going to be that simple. Fafel said simply.
Nick agrees with Fafel's analysis: "You're right, we have to prepare everything in advance, it's not clear yet. Why the hell would the elves do this, and is their action because of a grudge with the kingdom of Derbit, or is it simply revenge on the humans?"
"We want to prevent the possibility of their surprise attack. Although we are still far away, we should inform Sukar and Shakat to get ready. Then go to Romon and report it to him, what do you think?"
"Well, do as you say. Seeing that Farfell agreed, Nick went outside and called an attendant to fetch a carrier pigeon.
At the same time, a note was quickly written. And the carrier pigeon was also brought in.
Placing the letter in the box on the pigeon's leg, Nick walked to the mail, opened the window, and let the pigeon out.
This letter will soon be sent to Sukar and Shakat who is the current mayor of Yuanfan Harbor (not yet upgraded) and Shakat is the naval governor, and this matter will be left to them for defense first.
Watching the carrier pigeon go into the distance, Nick walked out and said, "Fafer, let's go find Romon quickly." ”
"Yes. After the two of them got out of the office, they got on the car, got on the horse, and walked towards the lord's villa.
At the door of the villa, it was reported that Nick and Fafer entered the villa and found Romon sitting on a chair in the hall waiting for them.
After a few days of retreat, Romon came out this time, and his state improved again.
There is an indescribable temperament on the body, which makes people feel as if they are in nature.
If anyone else is exiled for three years. When you come back, no matter how good a person is, you will become a little more wasteful.
Romon is different, on the contrary, there is a further improvement in him.
Nick sighed with emotion, he took a step ahead of Farfer and said, "My lord, something happened. ”
"You two sit down first, and talk. What the hell is going on?" Romon was taking a nap just now, and when he heard that Nick and Fafer were coming together, he knew that there would be no small matter.
"Just look at this. This time it was Fafer, he handed over the secret letter and other materials in his hand, and explained simply: "There will be chaos again, this time it's about elves." ”
"Elf?" Romont frowned. "Wait until I'm done. ”
When he finished reading the contents of the letter, he let out a soft breath.
"It's really not simple, I really didn't expect that the elf would suddenly come to such a hand, but. Although the human race has only just gone through the demonic plague, it is precisely because of this that everyone wants to have peace, and if the elves do this, it will cause the anger of the human race, right?"
"That's right!" Romang stood up suddenly: "Hurry up and inform Sukar that the port defense should be strengthened!"
"Caiwang informed. Nick replied.
"It's been notified, it's nice. Then use magic to teleport, so that the mages who are building the mage tower will also be more vigilant. Romon thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, our port has a mage tower, which can survey everything within fifty nautical miles, and with this magic weapon, even if the elves want to sneak attack, it is impossible to do it. Fafer couldn't help but high-five and said, "In times of war, this mage tower is simply a treasure!"
"It's not quite built yet!" said Romon as he called a squire of his cronies and asked him to prepare the tools for magical communication.
It is a simple magic scroll, as well as a magic stone.
In fact, there are these two things in Romong's space. But it won't waste much time to ask someone to get it, because it's not worth it at all to reveal your secret for such a trivial matter.
"Alright, here's something, let's get started. After a while, the squire brought some philosopher's stones and a magic scroll.
Romon opened the magic scroll, and inside was a beautiful colorful hexagonal star.
He took matters into his own hands and placed the Philosopher's Stone on each corner of the hexagonal star.
"Nick. Have you written the letter?" Romon crouched on the ground. Look back and ask.
"It's already written. On the other side, Nick was holding three written letters. Walked over.
"Stamped?"
"It's covered. ”
"Then get started, you guys stand back. Romon placed the letter in the empty space in the center of the six-pointed star, and then, urging a little force. to this reel.
It was just a flash of white light, and when I looked at it again, there was only the scroll pattern of the old face guard, and Yan Boil's Sutra dimmed for six "corners."
The letter that had been placed in the center of the pattern was gone.
Philosopher's stones on the horns of the hexagonal star. But it still maintains a shiny state.
Romon stood there, not moving, still waiting.
About half a minute later, a reply. was teleported.
At this time, all the energy of the Philosopher's Stone had been consumed back and forth, and the stone instantly dimmed, and then, at the same time, turned into powder.
On the scroll, there is no magic breath at all.
This reel, after a back and forth. It's all gone.
"Well, they've received it. After reading the reply, Romon breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"This kind of teleportation is much more troublesome than the fixed teleportation array set up by the Mage Tower. Fafer said suddenly.
Romon asked people to clean up the remaining debris on the ground. While leading the two of them back to their seats.
"However, this kind of teleportation scroll is more convenient to carry, and it is a fixed teleportation array. To build, it takes more manpower, and daily maintenance is also a large expense. Unless it's a must-play, no one usually builds a fixed teleportation array. Romon explained.
The three of them were talking. News came from outside.
"My lord, I have a letter from you. "The one who came in to report was one of Lomon's close associates.
He naturally knew the relationship between Nick and Fafer and Romon , and he did not deliberately avoid the retribution of these things.
Wait for Romon to read the secret letter. Shaking his head and sighing, "What the hell are the elves going to do?"
"My lord, about elves again?" asked Nick and Fafer at the same time.
The transmission of information is a hierarchical report according to the importance of the message.
Generally, the information that can reach Nick and Farfer is more important. And everything that is directly handed over to Luo Meng, the big boss, is extremely important news.
And at this moment, the content of the letter lying in front of Luo Meng is still about elves.
Unlike the letter from Fafell and Nick, this letter contains more information.
In addition to the content of the previous attacks, there is also a record of a series of events that followed the incident.
The destruction of the waterways, as well as the impact on many commercial activities, are displayed on the letter. As well as the elves were concentrated on the ocean and did not land for operations.
This seems to hold some sort of bottom line?
After reading the letter, the three of them were silent for a while. "I thought, in a short time, maybe. It's an opportunity for Yuanfan Harbor. Nick said suddenly.
"Well, in a short period of time, changing to the channel of Yuanfan Harbor is not the only sea route choice for those merchants, but it is also a very important choice. And the cost of land is too high for them. They will definitely take this route, hurry up and prepare, take advantage of this opportunity, and make a good profit!" Romon also thought of this, and said with a little excitement.
"I'll go back right now and gather the people. For the trade of Yuanfan Port, we will first formulate several emergency plans. Nick stood up and said.
"I will also immediately go to the various patrol teams and ask them to increase their shifts, and the defense in the territory must not be relaxed. Fafer also stood up and spoke.
"I'll urge the Mage Tower to speed up construction. And check the historical information of the elves to see what the deeper meaning of this operation is. Romon also found himself something to do.
As a result, the three of them began to get busy, and the entire Tertashaw Collar became more and more orderly in this situation, like an iron bucket.
Not only the Tetashaw Domain, but after receiving the news of the elves' attack on the human port, many lords have strengthened their vigilance in their respective territories.
A city or village with a port. They all fell into a state of panic.
This situation, after a few days, was somewhat relieved.
The reason is that many merchant ships have begun to change this route.
Moreover, they constantly bring news of the battle between the elves and the humans, as can be judged from their news. The current battlefield is not in this area.
Frequent diversions of merchant ships. It has brought a lot of business opportunities to the villages, towns and cities on this waterway.
So, in this case, people began to slowly let go of the heart of bringing it up.
However, there are exceptions.
Romon has never relaxed his attention to this matter, and the number of ships taking Romon by sea has increased greatly, and there has been a lot of news.
What this news brings to those lords, or some short-sighted aristocrats, is relaxation.
Bring it to Romong. But there was a faint worry.
Judging from the current situation, although there is no danger in their area at the moment, there are exceptions to everything, not to mention the place where there is fighting. It's not far enough to be reassuring.
Didn't the previous demon plague prove a truth?
On the same continent, if there are wars, where can there be a place to avoid the invasion of war?
What Romon worries about is that this war will evolve to a point where it will not end well in the future.
The feud between the elves and the humans may make the war very fierce and easy to the point of no return, especially the church of the Lord of Light.
The demon disaster has just passed, is it an elf?
Romon sighed softly. (To be continued)
