Chapter 686: Academy (II)
"My lord, this is the Breaking Waves, the ship is 10,000 meters long, and the load is more than 10,000 tons. ”
"This is the Cloud, Captain Blade. Load-bearing stew. ”
"This is the Sea Song, 10,000 meters long. Load-bearing stew.
”
Listening to the voices introduced one by one, from the military dock, Romon withdrew his gaze from the fleet and smiled faintly.
"I heard, the strongest thing right now is a battleship?"
"Yes, my lord, the battleship is the strongest ship now, and it is said that three of them have been built, which is a terrible expense for the Kingdom of Taressa, and the annual income of the national treasury will not exceed 10,000 gold coins, and a battleship will cost 10,000 gold coins. ”
"Hmph, it's more expensive than the average mage tower. Romon shook his head. He built the Mage's Tower. The final price was 20,000 gold coins, which already included the cost of future renovations.
"Yes, my lord, but it is said that all the hulls of the ships have been strengthened with the method of magic, so that the wooden hull is as strong as iron and stone. And it is also equipped with magic cannons, and it will take 2 years to build one. Shakat said with emotion, for a captain, commanding such a ship is the peak. "We can't afford to keep such a ship. Nor can it be raised. Romon said, pausing. "If I were an earl, maybe I could raise a battleship."
Even for the Earl, this is a crazy idea.
"Yes, sir!" said Shakat as he watched Romon .
At this time, around Romon there were cavalrymen wearing leather armor and leading horses, among which there were several crossbowmen, which was a formidable force.
At this time, Luo Meng has a long body, a graceful demeanor, and a kind of temperament that is accustomed to the superiors, and the traces of the former small staff, college students, and townspeople have been completely eliminated.
Long live, long live this lord, and he has already created this foundation.
Romon also watched Shakat, who was not yet in his old age, and began to bow down, and this man is said to have devoted himself to the fleet and made great achievements in the establishment of the Fifth Fleet.
At the moment, half of the fifteen warships were put together by him.
"Vice-Governor of Shakat. Romon suddenly whispered.
"Here, my lord, what do you command?"
"Your merits, I have always looked at in my eyes, I am outside the city, there is a manor of acres, and I am willing to give you a share, just. You are neither a knight above the fifth level now, nor have you established military merits, I can only let you maintain the status of a subordinate, but I can promise that after this war, I will promote you to a lord. Romon said flatly.
"Yes, sir. My descendants and I will be loyal to you from generation to generation. Shakat swallowed the excitement in his heart and said.
Acquiring a manor means entering the ranks of "reserve nobles".
"Also, Deputy Governor Shakat, choose one of these ships to be your flagship, and choose a ship that can be transported and fought, and you are the supreme commander of this fleet, and I hope you will lead him to victory and return safely. Romon said, "You must know how to choose, so I won't interfere." ”
"Yes, my lord, I will pick seven ships. Prepared for this, Shakat named the ship and left a large ship in the harbor.
All seven ships are capable of ocean voyages. Suitable for long voyages. All other ships can only sail near the sea
"By the way, the dehydrated vegetables have all been sealed, and I have asked the priests of the three goddesses of agriculture to accompany me, they will record your achievements and treat you when it is critical. ”
With a wave of his hand, a group of people appeared in the harbor, which was a whole wagon of supplies, including food, water, wine, and concentrated vegetables.
Originally, in order to prevent scurvy, large vats of fruit were needed, but this took up too much space. Now, the dehydrated simple cans have reduced the area by 90 percent, so that the fleet can carry a lot more materials.
"These supplies. There are still candidates, you have to complete the reorganization in three days, by the way, after you leave. Who will be in command of the rest of the fleet?" asked Romon as he looked at the sunny sea.
"If you will allow me, I recommend Picker, who is an excellent naval commander. ”
"Call him over and let me watch. ”
"Yes!"
In a moment, a man came, this man was about thirty years old, he had a bronzed complexion blown by the sea breeze, he was wearing a beautiful naval officer's uniform, and he looked really good.
"Lord Lord, Lord Governor!" said Beck with a salute.
"You are Governor Beck Shakat to carry out military duties. You have been recommended to me as the commander of the navy for the rest of the port, what is your own wish?"
"Yes, Lord Lord, Lord Governor, I think I can do it!" Bick's eyes lit up. He saluted.
"Well, then, I appoint you as the second vice-governor, and together with the governor of Shakat, divide the fleet, and in three days, take care of everything. ”
"Yes, sir!"
After the man left excitedly. Romon then said to Shakat.
"Remember, this naval battle has nothing to do with us, although merit is important, but your people. As well as the boat, which is more important to me.
"Although you are fighting with Prince Huxenia, I have already negotiated with him to carry out only transport and vigilance missions, not frontal naval combat missions, of course, this is up to you. ”
"Don't just become consumables, just do what you have to do, and everything must be done in the interests of the Fifth Fleet and the safety of your lives
Luo Meng said with a calm face: "Also, what is the consumption, remember, don't be polite." Ask for it from the prince and that, the kingdom, and if you judge unfavorably, you can retreat back to the kingdom. ”
Hearing this, Shakat smiled, hurriedly restrained his smile again, and replied with a serious face: "I know!"
"Well, it's good to know that Romon patted Shakat on the shoulder and nodded at him: "Go ahead!"
"Yes, sir!" Shakat smiled at Romon and stepped aside. As the deputy governor, he began to prepare for these three days.
Romon looked at him. With one order, the entire fleet was orderly reorganized and distributed. Nodding his head, he turned and left.
In fact, Prince Huxenia originally wanted Romon to drink and attack, but Romon was unwilling.
For some reason, a large and terrible feeling, hovering over the sea, caused him to have some kind of ominous remote sense, and Romon did not want to go to sea.
Then there was only the commission of Shakat, who was an excellent naval commander.
Besides, the efforts of the ecological field are indeed very heavy, this is a reasonable promotion to the fifteenth level of capital, otherwise, the human society will be suspicious of Romone.
Got into the carriage and surrounded himself with a cavalryman with a sword.
Romon was in deep thought.
There are a total of seven counties in the Kingdom of Ask.
Edmi City and Puran are the domain of the royal family, especially Puran. Located in the Feitai Plain, it is the national grain production base, and is also rich in grapes and olives, in fact, it has already become the fundamental place of the royal family.
The counties of Orne and Elinson, which are areas where royal influence can be reached, also hold some proportion of the land.
The three counties of Paket, Rumke, and Dedag were controlled by their respective counts, but were only nominally subordinate to the king, and were largely autonomous.
Once the kingdom of Eske was founded, it divided a large number of nobles and knights.
However, the whole kingdom, two, the Grand Duke. Three marquises, twelve counties, at the top of the kingdom.
And below, hundreds. Viscounts and baronies are constantly evolving to rise and fall.
It can be said that once you reach the earl, you are the nobles of the kingdom, and you can belong to the ranks of noble families on the entire continent.
Take advantage of the demon disaster to reach the viscount. In fact, it is already an exception to reach the earl. Basically impossible.
Prince Huxeya is considered to be king. It is also unlikely that he will be promoted from viscount to count like this.
Unless it's yourself, reach level fifteen. Officially broke through to the realm of the Great Druid, then. All factors cooperate, and the earl is still possible.
In this world, the aristocracy holds great power and strength, and is the real power in a land.
And even an archduke, marquis, or earl would not want to rashly grudge with a professional above the fifteenth level and break through the fifteenth level. It means that half a foot has stepped into the existence of a legend.
Once the legend is reached, it is difficult for God to come directly to the world, the state power, or even the church. There is basically nothing that can be done about it.
Of course, if the rules are broken too much, the gods will come down to the incarnation to obliterate at any cost.
Above fifteen, the knight will be called the Golden Knight.
The mage will be called the ** master.
Druids will be called Great Druids.
These are all terms with a powerful deterrent effect, and only when they reach this height can they really be recognized by the mainland and given treatment.
As long as I reach level fifteen, I can officially be crowned with the title of Grand Druid, so that I have enough strength to protect my territory and family Romon thought like this: "Even if it is the head, Hui Church. Originally, those bullshit accusations would not be used to engage themselves. ”
"If I reach the legend, as long as I don't read God openly, the Glorious Church will not easily make enemies of me. At that time, it was called Baiwu Zhi, how many more years will it take?"
"Five years, or seven years? Hey, at that time, I'm afraid that if I don't have to ask for it, the kingdom will come and seal it
"Actually, as long as I get the title of Great Druid, I don't have to worry about doing anything. Hum. What if I openly send dryads to dig up trees in the Forest of Thorns? Who can doubt a great druid? As long as I'm not mad and openly burning the forest. ”
Last time, I went to Shennongjiao to take a look. 50,000 acres of saplings have grown, half a foot high. But if it grows to more than three meters and forms a forest, even in this environment, it will take at least five to six years, right?
This promotion from the fourteenth to the fifteenth level may take a year and a half to two years to accumulate.
But that's fine, then. It's time for the first druid students to come in handy.
How can a great druid not be surrounded by a group of small druids and answer his orders?
