Chapter II Admiral Colonel

The sea breeze began to be restless, Dominique took two apprentices, got down from the main battleship of the Warm Wind, entered the shallow water through the speedboat, and saw a group of people standing on the dock from a distance, with a clear flag, nearly a hundred knights leading horses and standing behind, and two people standing in front, it should be the long-known Evan Dawn, but it is too far to see which one it is.

The speedboat pulled into the dock and stopped. Dominic's group of three jumped off the speedboat and climbed the stairs, and saw a young man in a standard officer's armor and an old man in a black tuxedo robe walking over, the young man had black hair and black eyes, did not wear a helmet, his hair was tied back and he had a ponytail, he was smiling, and his steps were brisk.

Dominic's first impression of the Dawn family was not bad, he didn't see that the rumors were so unbearable, he was just a young boy. Fiona looked at the young man who looked a lot like Cassio Pia and muttered, "Sissy." As soon as Adair wanted to say something, he was glared at by his sister, so he quickly shut up.

Young and old people, generals and officers, look at each other from afar.

Ai Wen beat his chest with his right hand and gave a military salute, "Good day, Your Excellency General." Congratulations, the southern expedition has won a great victory, and the rank of general is already in the bag. ”

After the three of them finished saluting, Dominique spoke, "Good day, Aven." The Drow Navy is not a good weather, and the officers and men are always brave, so it is not a record worth showing off. ”

Evan has the rank of colonel, and Dominique is a vice admiral. When a superior meets a nobleman, he is generally called by his family name on formal occasions, and if he is a nobleman of the same rank, he is generally called by his first name or full name, and a subordinate or commoner needs to be honored by his Excellency or title. So Minnick should call Evan Dawn, or call Dawn Kid unceremoniously. Why is it called Aiwen, Aiwen didn't understand.

Looking at Dominic, the father's evaluation of the middle-aged uncle was cautious and thoughtful, "The general is too modest, everyone knows that the naval artillery giant ships are rampant, and the sergeants are brave and fearless." In fact, the march between the seas is ever-changing and unpredictable, and since the general commanded the army, he has never said anything chaotic, and he has won all the twenty-six battles he has encountered, and I am afraid that few people in the sea of storms dare to say that they are stronger than the general. ”

Dominique was silent for a while, until Evan was a little embarrassed, and then suddenly asked, "What do you think of the enlightened Emmaris, the twin Baird, and the New Court Navy and the sea elves Aven?"

Ai Wen was stunned for a moment, a little unsure, this is for me to compare a few of you sea bosses I am familiar with Xu Gong? I just said hello Hey, can't you hear that it is a kind word?

Although the Sea of Storms is very vast, it is actually the Inland Sea of the Atrium Continent, located in the southwest of Middle-earth, the dark peninsula and the southern continent face each other across the sea, and the Hongqiao Strait, which is only 100 meters wide at the narrowest point, is the only passage from the Sea of Storms to the Endless Sea. The Drow occupy both sides of the Hongqiao Strait, and there is friction with the Xinting Empire, which occupies the southern continent. To the east along the coastline, to the north of the Sea of Storms are the Corona Empire, the Kaiming Empire, the Mizusawa (Sea) Elven Kingdom, and the Twin Empires. To the south, the Xinting Empire occupied all the coastline up to the border with the Twin Empires. The Twin Empires and the New Court Empire are at the intersection of Middle-earth and the Southern Continent, and further east are endless forests and mountains. These forests and mountains are densely populated along the entire eastern coastline of the Atrium Continent, stretching from the Giant Ice Field, which is further north than the Northern Territory, to the Nanting Islands in the south of the Southern Continent, known as the Ymir Mountains.

In the epic of the giants, Ymir is the first giant in the legend, and after his death, his bones are transformed into mountains, his blood is transformed into rivers and lakes, his head is transformed into the sky, and his body is transformed into the earth. When he lay down, the side facing the sun gave birth to the light elve, and the side facing away from the sun gave birth to the dark elf, and this is the origin of the elf. At the same time, he gave birth to giants, created dwarves and humans, and was the ancestor of all humanoids.

In addition to the Storm Sea Kingdoms, there are also the Obsidian Kingdom, the Holy Empress Kingdom, the Northern Territory, and the Giant Kingdom in the northern part of the Great Wall in the North. In the center of the continent are the four human principalities, the dwarf kingdom and the half-elf kingdom that are synthesized into the six central kingdoms.

Fiona looked at the stunned Aven, pursed her lips disdainfully, and embroidered the pillow. Just walked over, this kid looked at the old lady's leg at first sight, don't think that the old lady didn't pay attention, quickly finished speaking, it's been almost half a year outside, I really want to warm up the wind fortress to rest. Out of sight and out of mind, looking sideways at the sea.

Evan looked at Dominic, who had a calm face, pressed the hilt of his sword and said: "In terms of combat record, only General Baird of the Twin Empire can compare with you, but it is also the advantage of the fact that the Twin Empire and the Sea Elves are allies, and the Sea Elves are the darlings of the sea, plus the Twin Empires occupy important trade places and have strong financial resources." Therefore, whether it is fighting with Qiming to the west, or fighting with the Xinting Empire in the south, it has always had the upper hand. Xinting and Qiming, one is busy stabilizing the southern continent, and the other is full of domestic problems, but in fact, they are more than enough to defend at sea and not enterprising enough. ”

Evan paused, Dominic's face was still expressionless, and his voice was emotionless, "What about us?" Fiona and Adair also looked at Evan to hear what he had to say. Evan couldn't help but slander Dominic's face from a young age, "If it's a battle, we won't lose to anyone, even the sea elves, even the generals, you can win beautifully." If it is a national war, it will be difficult for us to win, even if as a famous general in the mainland, General Dominique is lucky enough to win several games, but in the end it will be difficult for us to win. ”

Fiona was not very happy, and blurted out: "I'm not old, and my tone is not small." ”

"Oh, I'm not very old, Auntie, you have to bear more. "Ai Wen's tone is not very good, who are you, uncle, I greet you with a smile, just put on a dead face, I haven't played anymore, if it weren't for the fact that I sent several boats of treasures, uncle, I wouldn't have served. Hey, people are short-handed, and people are poor and weak.

Fiona's face changed, she bent over with a grin, and said to Aven, "Sharp-toothed boy, can you use two swords on your back? ”

Ai Wen smiled brightly and looked sincere, "Thank you, Auntie, Auntie is so nice." I want my aunt to teach me, but it's not close to Warm Wind Bay to Xifeng Bay, and Auntie is old, so it won't be good if Auntie is tired of running back and forth. ”

Adair listened to Aven's aunt one by one, and then looked at her sister's hand holding down the hilt of the sword, and quietly moved it back, so as not to harm the pond fish.

Dominic, possibly sensing that his apprentice would suffer, glanced at Fiona and signaled quiet, "Okay, Aven, why do you say that, because we don't have enough troops?"

Evan glanced at Fiona's leg again, this woman is so tall, half a head taller than me, which makes her legs look particularly good.

Ai Wen shook his head, "There are already quite a few troops, four capital warships, twelve large warships, sixteen medium warships, twenty-four small gunboats, plus the rest of the speedboats, supply ships, vanguard ships, and landing ships. A full hundred and thirty warships, not much weaker than those imperial navies. ”

Fiona cut around her arm, but Aven ignored her, just held back her leg, and Fiona's chest rose and fell in anger, which was spectacular. "We don't have the depth of the ocean, and although we have the mouth of the Sea of Storms, we have only four hundred and thirty kilometers of coastline, and you must know that the entire Sea of Storms is nearly six thousand kilometers wide from east to west, less than one-twelve. Compared to the long coastlines of other countries, there are dozens of coastal cities. We only have three sea fortresses in total, two of the Dawn family, one of which has not been grounded, and one of the Hualu family next door. If we lose once, we're almost going to lose the entire Sea of Storms. ”

Fiona thought about it, there was some truth in what this kid said. The main force of the Corona Navy is more deployed in the Endless Sea on the west side of the continent, and there are only two dukedoms along the Storm Coast, although the Dawn Lord's fleet is strong but lacks depth, which is also an important reason why the Dawn Family has frequently attacked the coastal area of the Dark Peninsula in recent years, hoping to occupy the coastline on the west side of the Storm Sea to strengthen the depth.

Adair, who has always been silent, added, "And the contradictions between the corona royal family and the southern lords are getting deeper and deeper, and it is difficult to say whether the royal family will support us in the big war." ”

Ai Wen looked at it in surprise, and thought that he was a facial paralysis like Dominic, "To the point, if the entire Corona Empire is backed by, what coastline, what depth, I will lead the fleet to the Sea of Beauty to find the Sea Elf King and ask if his daughter is married, see how I am." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ai Wen felt that he was going to suffer, and he didn't control his mouth. Sure enough, Fiona's face was like a young master, and the one just now was fake, maybe it was a line prepared in advance. However, Dominic, aren't you face paralyzed? Fiona is a woman, even if you are a big man, what do you mean by disgust? Are you an old abstinence? Only Adel still maintains a normal expression, a well-behaved face of a good student.

Ai Wenjue can remedy it, "Ahem, I'm saying now, it's been a long time since I've been to someone else's door." "The three people on the other side are all like facial paralysis.

Dominic tightened his cloak, motioned to Aven, and walked to the end of the docks. Ai Wen exhaled, and it seemed that he had barely passed, and then followed, and the old man of the housekeeper and the two siblings of the Yuan family stayed where they were.

"Your father asked me to see where the new fortress was located, and I left a few ships for you. Dominique saw Aven's suspicious eyes, and his tone was a little playful. "Don't slander me, old fellow, your father didn't say anything else in his letter. ”

Evan smiled and entertained me with you for a long time, "How can you, you don't look old, if I didn't know your prestige, I would almost think that you were a church elector passing by." "The church in the Atrium Continent always strives for perfection when it comes to the divine elect, including outstanding looks.

Dominic's tone was even more playful, "Really, who is more handsome than your father?"

Evan didn't even think about it, his voice was loud, "You, you still need to ask!" Is this the choice used? Of course, the appearance of the gold coin is more handsome, it seems that General Dominique has a strong sense of comparison!

The corners of Dominic's mouth seemed to be curled, and it was more likely that Evan was dazzled, "No need to flatter, your father really just said to let me come over and have a look, he wants me to leave money and people, it depends on my mood, he doesn't have the courage to speak to me directly." ”

Adonis doesn't have the guts? I'm afraid that the nobles and lords of the Corona City have the most right to speak.

Ai Wen was speechless, everyone else is a son and a father, and his own father is a son of a pit pit . Despite this, Evan decided to defend his father, "My father has a black gentian, this is what my mother said. The boy was quite proud, and a little energetic.

In fact, Aiwen's impression of his mother has long been blurred, or there is no impression, and the vagueness comes from other people's stories. Including this sentence that Daddy often recited to him, because Daddy was very proud when he said it, so he was also proud when he said it, and maybe his mother was too.

Dominique didn't answer for a while, and was silent for a long time. Evan struggled to remember his mother from the depths of his memory, but what could a three-year-old remember was silent.

"That's what your mother said. Dominic's face softened.

Ai Wen was a little unsure, why did he even soften his eyes, right? He can't be Daddy's rival, right? Dominic, this old boy does look more handsome than Daddy, this is the taste of secret. That's why he calls me Aven, not Dawn or Evan Dawn, and because of the rivalry between rivals, Daddy is embarrassed to ask his rivals to help his son? It hurts, it hurts.

It's still not right, the old butler said that the old man said that the father clearly mentioned in the letter that Dominique would pay for the new fortress, is Dominic an infatuated species, because of his mother's relationship will help me?

Aven's eyes became more and more strange, and he looked at Dominic with some pity.

Dominic looked at him strangely, "Your eyebrows follow your father's, that's not good." ”

Evan frowned, "General Dominic, that's not your turn. ”

Dominique was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and his face was paralyzed with a hint of sadness, "Just like your mother." Then he seemed to lose interest in talking, "Aven, I will leave most of the proceeds and prisoners of this expedition, including the two main warship groups. However, the heads of the naval fleets are appointed by me, and I cannot leave their fate entirely in your hands, at least not until you have fully proven yourself. ”

Evan didn't hesitate, "Okay, which one?"

"Fiona. Seeing that Evan looked a little surprised, Dominique hesitated. "You're not happy? No, haven't you been staring at your legs?"

Ai Wen had a feeling of being caught by the other party's parents for doing bad things, and said embarrassedly: "How can I always look at my legs, occasionally, occasionally." However, I am more optimistic about Adair. ”

"I'm more optimistic about Fiona. ”

Evan was a little puzzled, "Why? Adair obviously thinks further, and will be a qualified strategist. And he's more like you, isn't he?"

Then Dominic repeated again, "That's why I'm more optimistic about Fiona." ”

Evan still didn't understand, and just wanted to ask a few more questions, but saw that Dominic had already turned around and walked back, so he could only give up, curse and pretend to be a ghost, and followed.

Dominic walked and suddenly turned his head and looked at Evan up and down, "You look like your father at all except your eyebrows." ”

"What?"

"Your father also liked to look at the legs. After speaking, he didn't stop and walked back quickly.

Evan is embarrassed, so he is still the most pitiful for his father?

Fiona took a closer look at the Windy Harbor, a small port, and a salvo of artillery fire from several capital ships of the expeditionary force, which was not solid, and when she came back to her senses, she saw that the two of them had already walked back, is it over?

Dominique looked at the Yuan family siblings, stopped talking nonsense, and said directly: "Fiona, go and mobilize the two main battleships of Leviathan and Kraken and their subsidiary ship groups, and stay in the harbor of rest." Adair, confirm that the replenishment is complete, and notify the rest of the capital ship group to return to Warm Wind Fortress. Also, Barrett, please follow Fiona and accept the loot and captives. Before Fiona and Adel could react, the old butler immediately nodded and said yes, the young master lived up to expectations and deceived him.

Fiona's face was gloomy and she didn't speak. Adair was a little worried about her sister, but she didn't speak. Since Dominic had made his decision, he wouldn't change it, and the name of the Storm Maniac wasn't something he added to it.

"Colonel Fiona, I should have waited until I got back before I was promoted, but now that you are stationed in Resthaven, I will promote you to rear admiral ahead of schedule. Fiona, this half of the navy will be handed over to you, you have to watch it, don't let some people come around, you know?" Dominique was surprisingly talkative.

Fiona's face looked a lot better, and she saluted the standard of the army, "No, general." Evan looked at Fiona as if she was owed a debt and did not pay it, and she was a little sad, because she was afraid that the level of Adair would not be able to suppress me, so she found a lioness to come and see the field. However, he became a major general at the age of twenty-eight, and he has never heard of a few in the entire continent, so Dominic, a black-bellied old boy, will not bend the law for personal gain.

Dominic stopped talking, turned around and walked off the dock, got on the yacht and sailed towards the fleet, the sea breeze was blowing, and the madman was immediate.

As soon as Adair wanted to step forward to say a few words to his sister, he was scolded by his sister to get out, and was stupidly about to walk to the supply area, but was stopped by Fiona, "After returning to the warm wind, don't think that I will slack off when I am gone, if I go back one day and hear something bad, you should be careful of your skin, you know? ”

Adair replied weakly, "Sister, aren't you married yet......?" Before he finished speaking, Fiona glared back and nodded quickly. "Okay, sister. ”

Fiona felt that she had not been very good since she came ashore, and glanced at a certain boy who was still watching the play, and waved her hand for Adair to prepare, and Adair turned and walked quickly.

Evan was not very comfortable with Fiona, and laughed: "Congratulations on the promotion of Major General Fiona, I will hold a banquet in the stone castle in the evening." ”

Fiona snorted, "Don't bother, the navy is busy with affairs, there is no time, Colonel Evan should worry more about building the city, we don't need you to worry about it." ”

Ai Wen slandered the old aunt, and his voice was frivolous, "Then it will be troublesome for the major general." ”

Fiona ignored him, turned her head and saluted the old butler, "Please Mr. Herman gather the fleet with me and count the financial prisoners." Ai Wen looked at the old man, the old man's serious face was to take advantage, if the little girl knew that his father was an old man and was not ashamed, would his sword heart collapse.

The old man of the housekeeper looked solemn and nodded in agreement. Fiona nodded as well, then ignored Evan and turned to lead the way. Aven wanted to come and see it, but seeing that Fiona obviously didn't mean to take him, he gave up. The old man of the housekeeper took the opportunity to say to the young master: "This girl is a good young master, she is easy to give birth to, she is not in the way when she is older, and she knows that it hurts people." ”

Ai Wen said angrily: "It hurts, that hurts, and the sword slash on the body also hurts." Besides, this temper is more explosive than your girl, and she will marry and suffer from it?

The old man of the housekeeper smiled and said nothing, followed up, and reminded him before leaving, "Young master, remember to go to the martial arts hall to practice swords when you go back, Ke Luoai is ready." ”

Evan suddenly had a big head, so he wouldn't be killed. hesitated to follow with a dead face, and hid for a day. However, if you think about it, forget it, the fifteenth day of the first year is death.

Besides, since the age of nine, reading and learning swords, although it is not a climate, the sun and the moon have shifted, and they have not dared to stop.
