Chapter 123: Cultivation and Recuperation
"What other ships to build, I will send you two warships directly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Ian said happily.
"Your Majesty, it's not about the boat, my workers also need to improve their skills through constant training. What's more, we really don't lack anything now, I just want those people to have a better promotion. ”
"Okay, I'll let people prepare. ”
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be in such a hurry, just send someone to send it when you're ready. And, because a new round of farming has begun, now my people are busy farming. But there is one thing I have to warn Your Majesty. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Maester Merlin was a maester of Black Sparrow before, and then Master Calus lent me Maester Merlin to help me build a ship. I was supposed to return Master Merlin to Master Calus, but I was captured. When I heard the news, I was relieved that His Majesty needed Master Merlin. It's just that Lord Calus is afraid of holding a grudge, so he must be careful when transporting materials. Don't let him know that the materials were shipped to me from Shado. ”
"Hmph, he still dares to intercept it?"
"Lord Calus can't do anything, find a group of thieves to intercept the materials, and Your Majesty has no evidence. Now that the ghost corpse will not start a war, His Majesty has time to deal with him slowly. ”
"Yes, I see. But I've heard that he's been doing a good job of managing the East lately. ”
"It's not just him, this year there is plenty of rain, and every place is actively farming. After a long time of fighting, the food has long been consumed, there is no food, the ghosts and corpses have not come in, and we ourselves are in chaos. But when they're full, some people with bad intentions reveal their true nature, don't they?"
......
Half a month later, a convoy of goods entered the territory of Os. He had learned everything from Darren and that the convoy was not only transporting materials, but also resources.
After robbing the materials, he can sell them to pirates and make his money better. As for the resources in it, whether he needs it or not, he will sell it to others. In any case, he couldn't let Barron get it.
The convoy crossed the boundary of Black Sparrow City, and he did not send an interception team until the convoy reached the boundary of Sheep Castle. He made his team disguise itself as a team of mercenaries and intercepted the convoy in the night.
Why is it on the territory of Fort Sheep, the reason is simple. Before, Sheep Castle was cursed, and he couldn't pay attention to it and didn't want to pay attention to it, but now that the curse of Sheep Castle has been lifted, Osus asked Sheep Castle to do some of the most basic requirements, and Sheep Castle ignored it. It also unilaterally declared that Sheep Fort was not part of the territory of the East, but was an independent area between Middle-earth and the East.
This is not actually a unilateral announcement, because everyone has tacitly acquiesced to this fact.
This made Oss ugly, and decided to deal with Sheep Castle, just taking this opportunity to use the previous incident of Sheep Castle killing mercenaries to deal with Sheep Castle.
Sure enough, the next day, the Black Scale Army rode a demon dragon to this scene to investigate, and Ed personally led the team.
In the hall of Sheep Castle, Ed put some evidence in front of Byron's eyes, "Lord Leo, do you have anything else to say?"
Leo looked at these worthless evidences and said, "I heard that the convoy is all materials for shipbuilding, and my sheep fort does not have a port and is not located on the bank of the river and the sea, do I want these materials to build a sheepfold?"
Ed stepped forward and smiled, "I know you didn't do it, but now all the evidence points to you." I have to give Your Majesty an explanation to the other nobles, and Your Majesty knows the truth of the matter. But I can only grieve Lord Leo, pay a little fine, and this matter is over. I don't think Leo-sama will refuse, right?"
"Prince Ed, we didn't do it, but we made us pay, isn't it?"
"Shut up. Byron reprimanded, then said, "No problem, how much, we're not a lot." ”
......
Sending Ed away, Tony still couldn't swallow this breath, "Father, Sheep Castle doesn't have any assets in the first place, why do you have to give them the money, especially knowing that we didn't do it." ”
"You are young and do not understand the struggle for power. The king is jealous of Os, understand?"
"Then go check it out, why do you have to?"
Byron looked at this unenlightened son, no wonder, Sheep Castle had not been in contact with people before, and it was normal for Tony not to understand this.
"Spend some money and gain the king's trust, so that the king has a better chance of dealing with Oss. Now that the Sheep Castle is free of the curse, and we want to be independent, Oss has enough reason to send troops against us, and will join forces with the other families. ”
"Understood. Or the father is thoughtful. ”
"After the Calus family is defeated, I will slowly tell you about the family history of the Leo family, as well as a secret that belongs to our family. ”
......
Oss didn't expect the matter to settle down so quickly. But now that the king is no longer pursuing it, he can sell these things with confidence. This year's bumper harvest, coupled with this windfall, has finally eased his finances, although there is still a lot of money owed outside, but as long as there is the potential to repay the money, others will not collect debts.
To sell things to pirates, he had to go himself, and he had to bring enough soldiers with him, so he specially called Felix back to guard Black Sparrow. At the same time, he was also going to go to the island to see Finn's situation after this trip was over, and after so long, there was really no movement at all.
Before leaving, Oss stood in the back of the harbor and said to Felix, "I guess this trip will take some time, if you really have a problem, you can go and consult the ugly cook at home." ”
"Cook?" Felix was a little surprised, "he...
"Yes, he's my real bachelor. ”
......
Finn of Chadordo was thrilled when he got the news, but when he learned that the king had not troubled Oss at all, he was very surprised, and he didn't understand why the king had let go of this opportunity to deal with Oss.
"Is there any evidence to deal with Oss now, is it impossible for the king to turn against Oss because of this? This is just a fuse, and it will take Os's constant mistakes to make it enough for the king to announce the abolition of the title of Guardian of the East and Duke of Os, and only then no family will help Oss. ”
"So, then I'm going to have to wait?"
Scimitar shook his head, "You can't wait, Oss intercepted the materials, and the only people who need and dare the most are pirates." You'll have to go back, he'll definitely go and see you. Now that the king has given you an answer, and our plans are going well, you don't have to stay any longer. Wish we could go back before Osden Island. ”
......
Harriman had recently been out of town, and after taking care of his own affairs, he secretly met with Byron outside.
"Didn't you say Ed was going to be fooled?" Harriman asked Byron.
"Yes, he's been fooled, but... now is not the time. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Let Ed be tricked, and he will definitely kill Bowen, whether it is successful or not. Eddard is in a civil war with the king. The current king of ghosts and corpses is no longer playing his cards according to common sense. Maybe he was watching the royal city's every move, or maybe he was also waiting for the George family to kill each other and then go south in one fell swoop. ”
"How could he be so powerful?"
"How is that possible? My man in Middle-earth told me that he had Naomi go to Lin Yu, twice, accompanied by Connell. And a lot of news came out of his mouth. No more war this year, it was he who let Connai pass it on. Do you really think he's going to give us time to recuperate?"
Harriman frowned, "You mean, the ghost corpses are really going to start a decisive battle next year?"
"That's right, if that happens. Harriman, whatever the king tells you to do, listen to the high priest. ”
"I know what to do. ”
......
Harris was in the Black Forest, where he had been for a long time and had shown everything to the Treants. But the Treants disagreed, and consulted every day, so he stayed here and sent a message to the Dwarves, Green Ape Men, and Stone People, asking them to come here and let the Treants see their unity.
Eventually, under these words, the Treant agreed to Harris's request, but the Treant also agreed. They won't take the initiative to attack, unless the army of ghosts and corpses goes south.
That news was enough for Harris, and he couldn't ask the group of treants to get through the low gate.
He had been here long enough, and when he left the Black Forest, he came to a rocky area on the border between the Western Regions and the South Seas, and then burrowed into a cave.
The two guards of the cave saw the high priest and led him deeper inside, which was like a labyrinth, and it was difficult for ordinary people to get out of it by mistake, and there were many traps.
Finally the high priest came to the laboratory of the Mahals, and six Mahals were studying. Kururu is complicated, it has to fuse a lot of underground materials to make it, and it is quite dangerous.
"Harris, I thought you didn't care. The leader of the Maha, Yuri said.
"Of course I do, but I've always been in the Black Forest trying to persuade the old ones. ”
"Looks like they agreed?"
Harris smiled. Yuri laughed too, "Then I've got to tell you the good news, our experiments are going well." I think it won't be long before Kuroru can be reborn. ”
"Can it be made before the decisive battle?"
"Decisive battle, the ghost corpse is going to fight the humans?" Yuri stayed here all this time, unaware of the situation outside. After listening to the meaning of the high priest, he made a confident gesture, "I promise, if ... I have more materials, I can destroy the army." ”
"No, I don't have any more materials, as long as you can make them, I'll use them to destroy the King of Ghosts. (To be continued.) )
