"My lord, are we really going to do this?" looked at the merchant ship as it passed, and the other man standing beside the young man withdrew his daylight, turned his face, and asked the temple year. This person was dressed in the uniform of the Navy Governor, which was completely different from the previous young nobleman's dress.

One has an elegant temperament, graceful and calm, and the other is fifty years old, but the military uniform is straight, heroic and resolute.

As they spoke, there was no one else within ten paces of them, and the people standing in the distance looked at them respectfully in the daylight, not daring to eavesdrop.

"Shakat, you know, if we don't do this, there may be even more trouble in the future. The young man from before, that is, the lord of the Tita Sho Lord, Luo Meng, stood on the deck, looked into the distance, and said lightly: "You are now a Xun Tamp, and you should think about the problem more long-term." "What's the bigger trouble?" ...... you mean, my lord?" Shakat was somewhat puzzled when he first heard Romon say, and after a moment's pause, he frowned and said, "Are you talking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Well, you're half right, I'm referring not only to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but also to the entire group he represents. Luo Meng looked at the ocean from afar: "Our Fifth Fleet, the strength is already quite weak, there are ten warships. ”

"Such a powerful fleet, no one _!1 Tu Tan give up, the future holy war, will give many people a suitable excuse, let them swallow this newly formed fleet, but we can't refuse, so to speak, we can only choose".;:!. Sell to whom, and you can't choose whether to sell or not. "So I have to find a suitable home for it in advance, and that's something I have to do. "But is it a good idea to leave it to the church in command?" Shakat whispered his opinion when he saw that there was no one else nearby.

"My lord, how much effort you have put into this fleet, many people know that you are really willing to hand over the fleet you have built with your own hands to someone else to command? Anyway, I am very unwilling, my lord, I am really unwilling. ”

As for the surrender of the Fifth Fleet, Shakat found it difficult to accept both emotionally and in his own interests.

Not only Romon's hard work, but even his hard work has been poured into the Fifth Fleet over the years, for this fleet, he has paid more emotions than Romon, and he can't accept this decision made by Romon.

"There's no way around it. Luo Meng sighed and said: "The Tertashaw Leader needs a time to show, and the strength of the Fifth Fleet has already made many people look at it in their eyes and be enthusiastic about it." "If you don't do it now, if you don't find a nominal home for it for the time being, one day, it will really belong to someone else, and at that time, it will be more difficult for you and me to accept. "Actually, handing over the Fifth Fleet to the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture is a good choice, don't you see it that way?" "My lord, forgive my subordinates for being stupid ......" Obviously, Shakat still couldn't figure it out.

"The current size of the Fifth Fleet has reached the level of a medium fleet, and in this case, it is very unwise to continue to put the command of the fleet in my hands. "Actually, it doesn't matter if the royal family is suspicious or not, it's just that we haven't suppressed its strength yet, and besides, this is in the name of the Fifth Fleet of the Kingdom, which really gives people an excuse. ”

"However, handing over the fleet to the royal family in this way is not something I want to see, not only will the strength of the royal family be greatly enhanced, but I can guarantee that none of the officers and men of our fleet will come back alive. ”

"Besides, I'm already an earl now, and I've reached the limit of the kingdom system, and no matter how much I try to get on good terms with the royal family, it won't help. ”

"In fact, after I became the 8th and Prince Husenya became the crown prince, there was very little room for cooperation between us, and even if the Fifth Fleet was handed over to him, his position on us would not change fundamentally. ”

"In other words, the Kingdom of Eske and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, for us, are already chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon them, of course, in turn, we have gradually become the focus of the Kingdom of Eske and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and only by building up our real strength can we stand tall like other real princes!" "I thought about it and felt that it was the best choice to hand over the Fifth Fleet to the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture. "First of all, I am a druid, the god of the druid's faith, that is, the goddess of agriculture" Giving the fleet to the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture will not make it difficult for outsiders to accept. ”

"Secondly, my Lady Elenie, who is herself a seventh-level bishop of the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture, will not only gain the appreciation of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture, but also win many rights, and also have the status and future of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture. ”

Romon knew that Shakat had always been the deputy commander of the Fifth Fleet, and he had a lot of affection for this fleet, even more than him, after all, he had a Tetashaw jaw, and Sishakat only had the Fifth Fleet.

Therefore, from the very basics, he enlightened Shakat and said: "The most important thing is that the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture has people, and they don't mind if we withdraw a group of elite navy, just give them the fleet. Now is the time when the Holy War is about to break out, and the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture needs more troops, and our decision will win their promise. "I don't care where this Fifth Fleet goes, but I want to build a new navy, a navy that belongs entirely to us. ”

"This holy war, in my opinion, is a meaningless war at all, even if you win the elves, what can you gain? a distant island? Not to mention, judging from the current situation, even if it is won, it will be a kind of miserable victory, I don't know how many people, and they will never come back. ”

"The reason why I explicitly ordered you to retire after being canonized as a lord is to prevent you from getting involved, but, from the outside, I am also the first three nobles to support the holy war in addition to the royal family, except for the royal family, right?" "Your Excellency, you want to build a new fleet?" Hearing this, Shakat didn't care about anything else, but when he heard this, he asked in surprise.

Romon said with a smile: "Of course, you have noticed the warships that are already under construction in the shipyard, don't you worry, as soon as the holy war is over, a new fleet that belongs entirely to us will be established, and at that time, we will already have enough strength and space to have such a fleet." In Romong's opinion, things like elite soldiers and fleets could not be sharpest. In a system, there are actually unspoken rules for who can have how many elite soldiers.

I think that back then, Qi Jiguang established the Qi family army, which was extremely elite and swept the Quartet, but if you read history and study it carefully, you will know that the scale of the Qi family army has never broken through a thousand. Even if Qi Jiguang was appointed as the prime minister, the military affairs of Changping, Liaodong, and Baoding were the same. And after Qi Jiguang's death,

The rest of Qi Lai's army was completely wiped out and completely disappeared into the military system of the Ming Dynasty. There's a lot to be fun about that.

If someone has a low rank and has elite soldiers, or is co-opted (and is still a specially fabricated net), or only the death of the clan will end up.

It is precisely because of this that Romon has been carefully controlling the forces in the territory, and the number of knights is not much, and now if someone says something about this, Rosso will definitely answer: The traverser has a rule of survival, if you don't get a big position, you don't train elite soldiers!

In other words, if you are in a humble position, even if you train soldiers, you have to control the number and influence, no matter what the world, there are many more people who want to pick peaches than you think! Now at this time, hearing Rommon's assurance, Shakat is really relieved.

As the governor of the fleet, his merits and ambitions were put on the fleet, and it was really difficult for him to accept that he would hand over the Fifth Fleet to others, but if there was a new fleet for him to create and command, it would be patient.

"The quality of the fleet on this patrol is not bad, and you can go back. Tomorrow morning, I will rush to the temple of the goddess of agriculture to settle this matter first. Romon saw that the sun was rising, and it was almost noon, so he said to Shakat, "You take out the real backbone and wait for the people of the agricultural church to take it." "Yes, sir. At this time, Shakat no longer objected or obstructed. Facing the sea breeze, the ships of the Fifth Fleet gradually returned to the port of Yuanfan.

Boarding the port and looking at the gloomy appearance around him, Romong's expression was very calm, and his mood was even more calm.

Although the deep autumn is coming, but such an autumn also represents maturity and harvest, he will not be like those poets, sad when he has nothing to do, and all year round belongs to him.

He reached out and caught a flying leaf, looking at the red leaf with clear veins in his palm, Romon thought about it and put it in his pocket. "My lord, ...... are you" Shakat who followed him looked at Romon curiously, a little unintelligible. "Hehe, my daughter loves collecting these specimens, and I'm going to give them to her. Romon explained with a smile. "The last time I saw your young lady, it was really cute. Shakat said with some envy. "Haha, in a blink of an eye, she is also eight years old, time flies so fast!" Luo Meng laughed and said with emotion. The laughter went far, far away.

That night, Romon had a conversation with his wife, Eleni, and told him about his decision, and Eleni seemed very happy and immediately agreed.

The next day, Romon and his wife went to the temple of the goddess of agriculture and offered the command of the Fifth Fleet as a gift to the goddess of agriculture. This matter made the members of the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture very serious.

"Romon, this is Archbishop Prolo who has come from the headquarters of the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture, and he is very happy and relieved by your previous decision, and he has come from the headquarters this time just to meet you. "In the main hall of the branch temple set up by the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture in the Territory of Tetasho, Eleni introduced Romon to an archbishop from the headquarters. Romon had a cordial conversation with him, and the process of talking was very pleasant.

"Count Tetashaw, you donated a fleet this time, it is really a model of devout disciples, you are the patron of my lord, I will not hide from you, although our church has agreed to participate in the war, but because of our side, it has not been very involved in the sea, so it is not easy to find a fleet, you have solved a great difficulty for the church this time. "Archbishop Pulo has just gone to the port to inspect the fleet.

Ten complete warships, this is not a small boat, in terms of value alone, it is worth more than 300,000 gold coins, which shows the sincerity and piety of Count Titahio.

"However, the Church will not take your warship in vain, and on behalf of the Church, I promise you that we will compensate you accordingly after the war, regardless of victory or defeat. Archbishop Plo said very earnestly to Rosso.

"Moreover, the church will soon have a reward, and the Tita Shaw will be under the priority protection of the church, and as long as there is no violation of the divine will of the goddess of agriculture in the future, and there will be blasphemy, your family will be taken care of by the church. "Archbishop Plo's promise is very valuable. The Church is long-standing, and this care may last for hundreds of years.

Hearing such a promise, Luo Meng was secretly happy in his heart, in the end, it was a neutral and kind-hearted goddess church, if it wasn't for his own speciality, he would be more pious!

"Thank you to the Goddess, thank you to the Church, and may the glory be with us. Romon said reverently. The matter was settled, and the archbishop was glad to come, and even more glad to have left. However, when the news of this incident came out, some people were not happy. "What the hell is Count Tertashaw doing? His own fleet was handed over like this?" On the Blue Earth Island, Prince Husenya looked very unhappy when he heard the news.

He originally wanted to integrate the Fifth Fleet into his own team in the future, but now in this situation, it is impossible. As a result, he appeared annoyed. "Sir Chowchida, do you say, have we leaked the news?" said Prince Thusenya, with a gloomy face. "It's possible, though, perhaps, the Count of Tertashaw, who smelled something himself. As the prince rose to the top, the knight's confidant and advisor, Chessida, said so.

"However, I really underestimated him, and handed over the fleet I had worked so hard to build!" Prince Husenya walked back and forth in his room, with a very gloomy expression on his face: "This Count Tertasho is so bold!"

"That's true, we have no excuse to let him go to war, or to reorganize his fleet, and with such a large tribute, no one can force him to fight. Sir Chochida made it clear: "Your Highness, the only chance now is that the Fifth Fleet is still the establishment of the kingdom, if you use this excuse......

“...... This is a good excuse for Tattashab8, but now that the fleet is in the hands of the Agrarian Church, and it is a fleet for jihad, it is no longer possible. Prince Husenya hesitated, and finally vetoed. "Count Testasho, it's not simple, you can't look at it from a simple druidic perspective!" Prince Hussenya turned around a few times and sighed: "You say, is he really so religious?"

Romon is a sixteenth-level druid, and the god that the druid believes in is the goddess of agriculture, and for this situation, people on the mainland will think that it is Rosso's sincerity. "Perhaps, he is at least a patron of Isis. ”

At the mention of another illustrious term, Prince Husé sank down, and after a moment he finally spoke: "It seems that the affairs of the Count of Titahio are not very good. ”

"Your Highness, this is a wise choice. Sir Georgie Chi said with a bow.
