Chapter 757: Defeat (I)

Eliminate Ta Xiao Lingbu, the most prayed for a period of time "good things do not happen" (

First, Romon was promoted to the sixteenth rank of druid, and after that, it was the king's decree to canonize the count

After being busy for half a month, the territory has just quieted down.

The mage tower set up in the harbor of Yuanfan Harbor encountered an incident.

"Did you encounter any special circumstances today?" asked Debiru, dressed in a mage's robe, as he walked up the steps below and into the operation room at the top of the tower.

Five silver threads glittered on the robe. Represents the status of a fifth-level mage.

There are five mages working in the operation room, who are responsible for checking the situation at sea, gathering various information, and screening and examining this information.

The work is very busy, but they have no complaints, on the one hand, they are well paid, and on the other hand, they can use the mage tower to learn magic, which is the treatment of a few.

With the Mage Tower, these low-level mages have improved rapidly in the past year.

The layout in the operation room is quite in line with Romong's usual aesthetics, except for the necessary equipment. There are a few green plants, placed in the corners, adding a touch of beautiful green to this clean and tidy environment.

"Lord Debiru, there is no special circumstance. The mage, who was in charge of checking the sea, turned around and said to Debiru.

Debiru nodded: "This time." You must pay close attention to the situation at sea, the Third Fleet is engaged in a decisive battle with pirates, whether it is victory or defeat, there will be situations at sea, you must observe carefully. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Debiru. In the past few days, we have been divided into three shifts to observe the situation at sea, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, they are all good observations, and once there is a situation, it will definitely not escape our eyes. The mage in charge of checking the situation at sea said respectfully. Debiru walked to the other person's side again, and now he was making some notes, some of the data on it was very detailed, Debiru nodded with satisfaction, and a few others. The mage spoke again. And he walked out.

Walking down from the top floor of the Mage Tower, all the way to the first floor, which is a restaurant for processed food, divided into three levels, Debiru went directly to the place with the highest level.

"Lord Debiru, are you here for dinner?" a chubby chef greeted Debiru with a smile.

Don't look at this chef who looks chubby and harmless, in fact, he is also a third-level martial artist. It is selective. to come and work here.

Don't look at him as just an ordinary chef job, who in the territory doesn't know that the people who can get a job in the Mage Tower are all trusted by the big guys?

Such a person has a great chance of being promoted in the future.

Debiru smiled and replied: "I'm here to eat, what are all the good food today, give me one, first one person, I'll eat here, and then prepare five people, I'll take it with you later." ”

"Okay, please wait, I'll get the meal ready in a moment. The fat chef smiled and understood.

Debiru nodded, walked over to a table in the dining area, pulled out a chair, sat down and waited.

In the air, there is a faint fragrance, and in the aroma, it can be vaguely discerned, which is the smell of plants. After a while, though. This taste becomes the aroma of the meal.

The dining area was also designed by Romon himself. Similar to some of the restaurants he had been to in his previous life, this place is half-separated from each other by plants, which will neither give people a feeling of complete isolation nor make people feel that there is no **.

The floor is smooth but not slippery, and you won't fall when you step on it.

In fact, in this small restaurant, such a thing as oil cleaning will never be seen on the ground, and the environment here has really reached the point of being spotless.

Debiru only waited for a while, and the food made by the fat chef was brought out by the fat chef himself. In a clean tray, a plate of cooked meat, a plate of vegetable salad, a bowl of broth, a small plate of dim sum, a pot of milk tea, and a small cup.

To the Mage Tower, expensive tea bricks are always available.

Arrange the things one by one in front of Debiru. The fat chef said, "Please use it slowly, Lord Debiru, and I will pack the five servings for you when you leave." ”

"Yes, you can. Debiru nodded.

The fat chef then retreated, and Debiru was alone, and used up this portion here, and when he left, the fat chef really brought a suitcase and handed it to Debiru.

"Lord Debiru. Do you need someone to help you get it back?" asked the fat chef.

Debiru is the leading figure of the Mage Tower. As a subordinate, it is natural to serve him for a week

"No, I can mention it alone. Debiru smiled and refused.

The key reason is that above the second layer, non-divisions are not allowed to enter, what is wrong with Debiru. Like his grandfather, the Lulun scholar, he was a man of great temperament. But in dealing with people, he is very principled.

Bidding farewell to the fat chef, Debiru carried the food box. Step by step, he walked into the operation room of the mage tower.

In the past few days, because the entire operator of the Mage Tower has focused on the sea situation and cannot tolerate a little negligence, Debiru, who is a little free in the team, has taken care of all the daily expenses of his subordinates in the recent period, and does not let them be distracted to do other things.

For this naval battle, in fact, Debiru is not too optimistic.

The first is that the situation of pirates is more serious than ever, previously a few bands of pirates, now dozens of bands of pirates, and together, they are not at all on the same level.

The second is in the team to exterminate pirates this time. Although there is an extra fleet of strength, the second prince and the eldest prince have always been at odds, and he has long seen a little eyebrows, especially the eldest prince Hailancha. is conceited and proud, not as wise as Prince Xiu Senya, but he also likes to stick to his own ideas in many things, so it has led to some hidden dangers.

In this case, Prince Hailancha insisted on sweeping away the pirates, and when Debiru heard the news, he could only express his speechlessness.

In fact, the range of the Mage Tower is the largest. Only fifty miles nearby, and the area of the naval battle is far outside the area, however. In order to prevent problems, there is also a vigilance in the coastal waters.

Shaking his head, Debiru stopped thinking about it, carried the food box, and walked to the door of the operation room.

Push open the door. But the atmosphere inside is not quite right, everyone is a look of things, nervously observing.

On the big screen, there is a condensed map of the nearby sea, but there is a mage who expands the scene of a certain corner one by one, and it seems to appear

"What's wrong?" Debiru put the food box aside, bye

"Lord Debiru, you've come just in time, look. Here!" said the mage, who was observing a corner of the scene.

After hearing this, Debiru hurriedly walked over and looked over.

See where the mage's gaze was. There are more than a dozen light spots that are moving quickly from outside the detection area to the area, and the degree is very fast.

Refining their message, Debiru's face became solemn.

"It's being detailed, look!" The priest looked at the information in detail, suddenly. He exclaimed.

Debiru and the other pounds, the mage looked over. As soon as I saw it, on the gradually expanding screen, the appearance of more than a dozen warships could be faintly seen.

"Continue to elaborate. Debiru commanded.

"Yes!"

"Look, my lord, there is a boat chasing them behind." The mage exclaimed again.

Sure enough, I saw that behind the dozen or so warships, at a distance, more than a dozen ships were chasing behind, judging from the situation one after the other, it is very likely that those behind were chasing soldiers!

Debiru then joined the ranks of the operation, and his slender fingers typed out a few commands on a piece of operation magic array.

Immediately, at the top of the Mage Tower outside, a powerful force, like a hurricane, quickly rotated out from the center point to the periphery.

"It can already be seen clearly, in front of it is the Third Fleet led by Prince Hailancha." At this time, someone recognized the flags of those battleships in front.

And those pursuing ships behind, no need to ask, are naturally pirates.

Judging by the type of ship. It's definitely not the type of Third Fleet.

"If you're in trouble, notify your lord immediately. and Governor Shakat. Debiru said only that, and then fell silent.

"Yes, sir!"

The Mage Tower, which has a special magical connection with the Lord's Villa, immediately sent a message.

In a few moments, the messenger immediately delivered the order to the governor of Zhoudu, Shakat.

Fifteen minutes later, Governor Shakat immediately gave the order for the navy to leave the port.

Seeing such a situation, the pursuing pirates. Stopped the attack and slowly retreated.

Subsequently, the remnants of the Third Fleet entered the port for repairs.

Peter, King of the Kingdom of Esk, at this time fifteen days before his sixty-fifth birthday. Suddenly, he received a big gift, and the person who gave it was none other than his eldest son Hailancha, who had just been appointed commander of the Third Fleet.

"What did you say? The Third Fleet was defeated, and only twelve ships escaped?" At the time of the news, the once wise and martial king was dining, and when he heard this, he didn't even know that the fork in his hand had fallen on the table.

"Your Majesty, the news from the sea is indeed true," the official in charge of delivering the news regretted greatly.

Such news. Whoever came to report would not have a good face, and if it weren't for the fact that the other colleagues had run away one step ahead of him, he wouldn't have come to see the king's temper!

The king slapped the table and swept all the dishes and bowls in front of him to the ground, turning them into splinters.

This circumstance made the official bow his head more and more, and he did not dare to look at the king's gloomy face.

"What a good son for me, what a good son for me. Of the forty warships, only twelve were brought out to me, hum!"

The king, apparently furious, simply did not eat, but stood up and walked up and down the hall. Everyone serving in the hall tried their best to maintain the habits of plants, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere.

At such times, whoever provokes the king is unlucky.

There is only one chamberlain officer, who commands the servants. Carefully clean up the mess of clutter.

"Summoning me Count Fekam. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Twenty minutes later, Count Fikapo appeared before the king.

At this time, the king had basically calmed down, and sat on the throne, with no one around him, and his face was expressionless, and when he saw Count Fekham, he said, "Count Fekam, you already know the news?"

"I knew that I was on the road just now, and I took a while, and I already knew the inside story clearly, and I had an idea.

"What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the task now is to fight back immediately and regain the lost prestige and ships. Count Fecam said.

In this era, due to the absence of artillery. In general, naval battles are also close to each other, and soldiers fight each other, so the ship generally does not sink.

Twenty-eight battleships, now in the hands of pirates. If you don't recapture it quickly, and give the pirates time to build up their fighting power, it's a big deal. "That's right, don't you have anything else to tell me?" said the king.

This made Count Feckham smile bitterly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen this matter, and it is one-sided!"

"The siege and suppression of the pirates lasted for a month and a half, and won many victories, and His Highness Shusenya proposed that the reason for the continuous fighting, and the tired soldiers, to go back to repair, was completely sufficient, and there was nothing else to fault with it. ”

"Most importantly, His Highness Husenya. During the retreat, I once wrote to His Royal Highness Hailancha, asking him to retreat and repair together, I have read the letter, it is very sincere, and the analysis is also in place, which is bluntly pointed out that the soldiers have been fighting for a long time. Very tired, at this time the decisive battle with the pirates is very disadvantageous. ”

"Without this letter, His Royal Highness Hailancha insisted on fighting, and it could be considered that it was common for soldiers to win or lose, but with this letter, with all due respect, His Highness Hailancha, no matter what, could not get out of the net and used it for his own use, and insisted on going his own way, which led to the defeat of the Third Fleet. ”

"Your Majesty, the Third Fleet is the royal family's veteran fleet. Many of the officers in it were the children of nobles, and the casualties this time were very large, and there were at least thirty nobles in the royal capital who were going to hold funerals. ”

"Whether His Highness Xiu Senya intentionally or not. No matter what your calculations are, at this time, you will have to make great use of him to restore the strength and prestige of the royal family. He must not. ”

"In such a situation, IMHO. Your Majesty, the matter is irreparable. With that, Count Fecam knelt down: "I beg your Majesty to make a quick decision. ”

Under this state system, the thirty nobles have formed a terrible force to lose their excellent sons.

Finally, after walking for a while, the king's face was gloomy. Finally made up his mind, his gaze swept coldly to the kneeling person below: "Okay." Go down first, I already know about it, and soon there will be a will. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Count Fecam said. (To be continued)
