Chapter 259-April 5th

The icy rain came on, with a faint smell of sea.

"My lord, you should go back to the cabin and rest. We are familiar with this section of the sea, and we can drive to the north with our eyes closed. Now there is no need to travel slowly or anchor at night, as long as there is wind, we can sail with full sails. Now we have traveled from Hilovas Island to the Northland in just eleven or two days. We will be back to Niujiao Bay in two days."

Lorist stood on the slipway in a black poncho made of animal skins, while Faria was standing by and persuaded him to return to the cabin.

"It's okay, I just came up to take a look and breathe in the fresh air. Just go and do your job, don't worry about me." Lorist said.

Lorester is now on a large ocean-going three-masted merchant ship. This is also the ship of the Marine Corps Commander Farea. This time, Farea brought twenty-eight medium-sized two-masted merchant ships back to the North. It is preparing to transport the accumulated large amounts of Warcraft fur to Silovas Island to implement the trade agreement reached with the Peterson Chamber of Commerce.

Lorist took Dolles and El back to the North on Faria’s ship, leaving Josk and Jim with Fatty Shi. Faria and Sembawood took a fleet of ships to sway at sea every day. Lorester felt that the island needed a golden knight to sit on, so Josk stayed on the island.

After Fareya was sent away, Lorist stood alone at the front of the slipway, watching the ship roaring in the cold wind, drizzling, and chopping the waves on the rough sea. Now his mood is very happy and relaxed. The glass war between the Ford Business Alliance and the Kingdom of Trimble and the news that the Second Royal Highness led his army over the snow-capped mountains and captured King Rydliss King’s City made him relieved. At last no one had the idea of ​​hitting the island of Silova. The development plan can proceed as usual.

Lorester now only hopes that the two wars will be delayed for as long as possible. It is best that the business alliance cleans up the Trimble Kingdom and then fights with the Second Highness who wiped out the prince. For the Principality of Rulm, the two armies will fight again. Confrontation, so that the more time left for the development of your family territory, the better.

When I returned to the north to study the artillery and put it on the battleship, there would be no threat even if the Chicked Chamber of Commerce wanted to come back to seize Silovas Island. Warships loaded with artillery will smash their merchant ships one by one on the sea. Only then will people know who is the real maritime hegemon...

Thinking about it this way, Lorist found that he would be very busy going back to the North. There were many things waiting for him to do, and most of these things could not be explained, and he had to personally do it, so his mood began to change again. Bad.

El also wore a poncho and came to Lorist's side, leaning against the railing.

"Rock, I'm very puzzled these few days. Before returning to the Northland this time, you asked me to take a trip to the Baron Dina on the west side of Qilin Harbor, and send him a thousand Golden Ford and a batch of gifts. I'm just surprised, what are you? That baronial sister Hua that I met at that time? Well, that aunt is also a big beauty, and they seem to know you very well. That sister had no conscience when she heard that you didn't go and scolded you.

I can't figure it out all the time. I am the commander of your guards and I am almost by your side. Why don't you know when you hooked up with the sisters again? By the way, that aunt must also have a leg with you, and is particularly concerned about your topic. But after hearing about your identity, they seemed very frustrated, and then they dealt with it very politely and let us come back. What exactly is going on? "

Every time El referred to Lorist as Locke, he indicated that they were conversations between friends rather than between top and bottom, which meant that he was really curious about it.

Lorist cracked his mouth. He understood what El said they were frustrated when they knew who they were. If Lorist is just a knight in the Norton family, then he and his sister are equal, and it is not a problem for the sister to marry him with her sister. But he is the head of the Norton family and his status is an earl, so the two sisters will not be able to rise to the top, unless they also have the title, not the sister of the baron...

"It’s nothing, didn’t I sneak out for a night in the Imperial Capital with Dolles and Karitok? We went to a party that time. I knew the sister and her aunt. The girl thought I was Just a knight, I hope I can marry her..."

"Tsk tusk tusk, sir, you are not superficial, just one night, let that sister and aunt slam on you..." El became a subordinate again.

"Okay, don't talk about me, you are not young anymore. Isn't the youngest daughter of Technician Mancheni very nice to you? After I go back this time, do you want me to propose marriage and let him marry your daughter?"

"Uh..." El didn't expect to get his upper body on fire, and Lorist turned the topic to himself.

"Well, Locke, I want to have another year or two. When I am promoted to the golden knight, I will propose to her, so that she will feel more beautiful. And there is a knight manor, I don't have to worry about her in the future. What happened to his life..."

Lorist slapped El's shoulder heavily, and said angrily: "Nonsense, what's wrong in case? Follow me, I will keep you a hundred years old, and your children and grandchildren are full."

El couldn't laugh or cry: "My lord, who is the guard of who we are when you say so..."

...

On March 11th, Lorist returned to the Northland.

Faria was right, the return journey took only eleven days.

Schward stood jealously on the dock waiting for Lorist to disembark. Last time Lorist sent him back to the North forcibly. As he said, if the Chichard Chamber of Commerce were to attack Hilovas, Lorist would definitely appear on the front line, and he would deal with it. Great Sword Master. In that case, it would be very dangerous for Shihuad to stay with him. It would be better to return to the North as early as possible, and he would not be easily distracted.

Touching Sward's hair, Lorist smiled and said, "Why, crying when you are so old? Okay, let me see this harbor city first, and let the carriage go around first."

This harbour city located in the highlands of the Black Mud Marsh has begun to take shape. Two communities have already been constructed and residents have been settled. Of course, these residents are the family members of the pirates who have been moved here from the pirate fishing village in Sambawood. , And the residents who relocated from Hilovas Island, they took advantage of the first step.

Master Siropa, who was in charge of this city construction project, planned the seaport city very big. After turning around in Lorester, he found that there were ten more communities under construction. When all the projects are completed, it is estimated that the seaport city can accommodate 50,000 or 60,000. Around the residents. And also left a lot of room for expansion.

In the center of the seaport city, there is a large mansion and a large garden square. This is the same as other urban plans in Galinthia, but Lorist will have to wait a few more years to move into this mansion. Now this area is still digging foundations for basic engineering construction.

"Yes, Master Siroba did a good job. When I look back, remember to reward him and those in charge of the project. By the way, is this harbor city named?" Lorist asked.

"No, it should be named by an adult." Sward said.

"Then tell Master Siropa that I will give him the naming rights of this harbor city in recognition of his achievements in designing and constructing this harbor city. After the completion, I will order people to shape bronze statues of them. Standing at the port for future generations to commemorate. By the way, by the way, remind him that he has already named the Shiroba Dike over there, and I don’t want to hear any more about the Shiroba City, asking him to think about it. Click on the name." Lorist said.

At the end of last year, the long **** along the Lancang River from Haigang City to Guishan for nearly 100 miles was finally completed after nearly 200,000 laborers after three years of hard work. With this long dike, not only can the Lancang River be prevented from inverting. Enter the black mud swamp on the side of the original family territory where thousands of hectares of fertile fields have been developed, and you can also prevent the beast iron ridge crocodiles from the black mud swamp on the other side of the Lancang River from crossing the river here.

The family's investment in this long embankment along the river is no less than 500,000 Jinford. Among them, more than 50,000 captives are the main labor force, but they will be released by the end of their hard labor this year. In addition, there are 60,000 to 70,000 refugees recruited from Winston Province. They dragged their families to build villages near the Long Causeway, turning the black mud marshes on the original family territory into food for another family. Production base.

In addition, all the family armed and garrison teams have to come to perform three months of labor every year, plus those who came from Fengleyuan and Xing'anyuan during the slack period to earn some labor money, it took three years to count. Complete the long embankment. When confessing to Lorist, Master Siropa asked him in his letter what Lorist was going to name this long dike, or he could give them a name.

Lorist didn't think too much and didn't bother to think about the name, so he wrote back and gave them the name of the Long Causeway for discussion. As a result, Master Siropa duly named the Causeway Siroba with his own name, and he erected a monument and carved stones. The rest of the people were envious and angry enough, but Master Siropa had Lorist’s reply as justified as holding a chicken feather as an arrow. Everyone had no choice but to pinch his nose to approve Siroba. The name of the embankment.

This time Lorist learned a good thing and forbids Master Siropa to use his name. This saves this well-known guy from engraving all the projects he is responsible for with Siroba’s name, but Lorist believes that for this The way the guy rewards the bronze statue will make him more dedicated...

In the remaining twenty days in March, Lorist inspected the military camps and people's conditions in various places. He stayed at Fenglin Mountain Villa and Miss Tristi’s Nicol Academy preparation office for only one day, and then hurriedly rushed. To Rock Castle, the New Year’s family meeting will be held there.

...

On April 5th, Rock Castle, the Norton family’s New Year’s convention was officially held.

The process of the conference was the same as in previous years, except that the people who stayed on Shilovas Island like Fatty Shi were eliminated, and an agenda for commendations and awards was added. This time, Chief Kedan replaced Fatty Shi as the host of the conference.

After summarizing the work results achieved last year, it is time for commendations and awards. Lorester announced that the eight golden knights of Bodfinger, Tiger Ross, Josk, Farea, Belunek, Malek, Terman and Yuri will each acquire a knight manor located in Xing’anyuan. . And this knight manor will become the hereditary property of their respective families, regardless of whether their descendants can become family knights or not, this knight manor will belong to their family.

Next, Lorist ordered Sedkamp to imitate the Xing'an Plains under the leader of the Red River Valley Viscount of the Kenmes family to develop and build eight reclaimed towns and eight knights' manor. This place was named Hongheyuan. This decision has been questioned by many retainers. With the family and the Kenmes family as allies, is it appropriate to occupy and develop the original territory of the Kenmes family? Will it cause excessive reactions from the Kenmes family?

Lorist laughed. The Kenmes family is now paying attention to their territory in the eastern part of the Northland. The Viscountry of the Red River Valley has actually been abandoned by them. They dare and do not want to be so close to our family. Local development. If we occupy this place and engage in development and construction, the Kenmes family will truly relax, because they believe that we have truly let go of the grievances and grievances that occurred with their family...

The last issue is the expansion of the army. This is the idea of ​​the more than 50,000 prisoners who are about to be released during the hard labor period, and the 300,000 army of the Second Highness finally made Lorester feel a little uneasy. Who knows the future After your Highness swept the Iberian Kingdom, it is always good to be prepared if you have nothing to do.

Bodfinger's heavy armor expanded to two regiments, and the Tiger Ross' Lancers also expanded into two regiments. Dulles was responsible for forming another chariot steel crossbow regiment. Without horses, Lorist prepared to see himself. Whether one of the ideas in his mind can be realized, if possible, the chariot steel crossbow regiment of Dolles will become the foot steel crossbow regiment.

After the convention, Lorist left Master Sid, the head of the mysterious iron extraction base named Ironforge, and Chief Camora, the head of the weapon production base named Stormwind City, and gave them two tasks.

One is Lorester’s idea. He drew the style of a wheelbarrow from a previous life, and wanted Master Sid to test whether he could fit the steel crossbow from the chariot to the wheelbarrow, which not only saved the need to take care of the cart. It is troublesome, and does not affect the movement and rapid deployment of the steel crossbow and flexible shooting preparation. Even some mountainous hills where the tank cannot go up, the wheelbarrow can carry the steel crossbow up to occupy a favorable launch position...

The second is to let them design a batch of gorgeous styles of standard equipment again, which only needs to have a lower defense power than the white lion standard armor. This is to be sold to the business alliance. According to the nature of the businessmen, the more fancy and beautiful they are, the more they can attract their attention and make them interested in buying from their pockets...

...

On April 5th, at noon on the same day, in a box of a hotel in Morente.

Murray Barker, the third young master of the Chickard Chamber of Commerce, was holding a cup of tea in contemplation. The one who had just left was an informant from the Peterson Chamber of Commerce that he paid a large price to buy, and this informant was still with the vice meeting. One of the slaves who went to Silovas Island. From his mouth, Murray Barker learned a lot about Hilovas Island. For example, there are tens of thousands of migrant workers under development and construction, an elite guard force of 3,000, the Earl of Norton is also on the island, etc...

But even if he knew the situation on Hilovas Island, the third master was helpless. All the arrangements went smoothly, but suddenly the situation changed drastically, and everything I had done became useless. Thinking of Trimble VII, who had only one muscle in his head, the three young masters gritted his teeth with hatred. It was this madman who got in and turned all the plans of the Big Seven in the business alliance into a pot of porridge. Now they have lost half of them. It's really sick if you don't admit defeat when you die.

The Third Young Master Murray Buck is known as savvy in the Chamber of Commerce. He also understands that under such circumstances, the Chamber of Commerce can no longer encroach on the island of Silova, especially when the Second Royal Highness from the Kingdom of Antinac came to occupy Ridley. After the kingdom’s imperial city, it became clearer that not only the Chekerd Chamber of Commerce, but even the Double-headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, the May Flower Chamber of Commerce and the Peterson Chamber of Commerce have given up their ambition and strategy to obtain the Chamber of Commerce from the Kingdom of Ridley. No one wants to resist the soldiers of the Second Highness...

But the third young master was holding a fire in his heart. He was very unwilling to let go of that **** who didn’t put himself in the eyes of the Count Lord, the third-level Great Swordsman was so amazing, killing so many people in our Chamber of Commerce When nothing happened? The last interception at sea was all arranged by him, but the Chamber of Commerce suffered heavy losses. Thinking of the second child who looked at him with sarcasm, the third young master couldn't stand it and wanted to have an attack.

"By the way, will the northern fleet set sail in a few days?" Third Young Master asked.

"Yes, young master, we will leave on the twelfth." The close-fitting old servant standing next to him replied.

"After the notice, I will set off with them at that time. I will go to the Kingdom of Xia Siya and the Kingdom of Haneaba." The third master made a decision.

...

On the afternoon of April 5, the same day, Trimble was on the front line.

The President of the Double-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, who led the business alliance army, saw that the army under his command was more and more close to 150,000, and the winter and rainy seasons have passed, and he can't stand his own big account every day. It was noisy like a vegetable market, and finally gave an ultimatum to the confrontational four-nation coalition forces. If they don’t leave the road within three days, the commercial alliance troops will not hesitate to attack them, and all the consequences that occur at that time will be the four-nation alliance. The coalition forces undertake...

Well, the commander of the four-nation coalition felt that they had resisted the commercial alliance's army for three months, and could give Trimble VII an explanation, and no one wanted to really annoy the commercial alliance, so he wrote back and said three Retreat is guaranteed within days. The three-month sit-in war is over...

...

On April 5th, in the afternoon of the same day, the Kingdom of Ridley was added to the King City.

The flag of the Royal Guards of the Antinac Kingdom, the first from the southwest front, finally appeared under the royal city.

The Second Highness standing on the city wall finally breathed a sigh of relief~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the more than a month since the surprise attack took over the city of Federica, he has hardly slept well, his cheeks are very thin and his jaw is long. Full of beards, negotiating with the 70,000 defenders in Campona province made him work hard and finally let them lay down their weapons. Now the legion under his direct jurisdiction has finally arrived, and the next step is to sweep the enemy and capture the prince alive.

"Come here, send a messenger to the territorial nobles of Anderwolf Province and order them to show me their loyalty and respect, otherwise I don't mind destroying their families and territories."

"Yes, Your Majesty, your will is our mission. But what should be done if the nobles of the territory have their prayers?"

"They still want to pray? It's that they, together with the prince, disturbed the peace of the empire and ignited the flames of war. I have now forgiven their crimes a lot, spare their lives and spare their family, do they think it is not enough? Tell them, if they can satisfy me, the most they accept is the punishment of reduction and re-listing. I believe this is enough..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will set off right away to convey your will."
