Heaven’s Intention

There is not only one place to fight. Outside Yuanfan Port, there were also several sporadic battles taking place.

This battle is a bit frustrating. Look at those pirates, they fight so fiercely, and the ships run really fast. This way of fighting, even if they fight for ten years, will not help, unless they use the army.

Yuanfan Town on the coast is a small town established by Romon near the port. The land here is fertile and has its own port. The money earned from daily farming and moving goods can allow people to use the The little days are very good, very prosperous. A row of buildings like watchtowers stood tall next to the inner wall of the town. This watchtower is about 16 to 7 meters high, much higher than all the nearby houses. There are patrolling soldiers on it. They are constantly patrolling. floors and arches. arranged.

It can be said that although it is close to the sea, the defense force is still in place. As the owner of this town, Romon puts the defense force first in the layout of any territory.

Farfell and Haiwawi were standing at the highest point of the watchtower at this time. Farfer was talking, holding a monocular telescope designed by Romon in his hand, observing the situation on the sea in the distance.

On that piece of sea, a few sporadic pirates were fighting with several patrol boats, but obviously, although the few patrol boats sent by the viscount were quite deterrent, compared with these pirates, these Professional combatants are still at a disadvantage.

It seems that the pirates were not so ferocious in the past. Could it be that they are much more powerful after being incorporated by Wadenwen? Haiwawei was very puzzled, but agreed: Unless the official navy is used to win with more, otherwise , Just relying on a few battleships, if you want to fight this group of elite guys, that is to bring shame on yourself.

Perhaps, what you said is right. Looking at the situation at sea, Farfell, who held up his binoculars to watch, sighed, looking a little unhappy.

on the sea. A duel is unfolding!

Full speed ahead! All combatants get ready!

Full speed ahead! All combatants get ready!

The maritime patrol ship that received the merchant's distress signal fought with the pirate ship.

The patrol ship that launched the attack first, and the pirate warship was not to be outdone, and several ships leaned together.

There was one pirate ship with dozens of pirates on it, seven or eight patrol ships, and the patrolling fighters were already ready to fight, so they jumped on it together, and started fighting on the deck all of a sudden.

fighting,

People kept falling and falling into the sea, and the smell of blood attracted countless sharks to eat happily in the sea. The screams in the sea continued, and the tragic situation was even more intense than those on the deck. In this situation, even Fafer and Haiwawi, who were watching from a distance, couldn't help but put down the binoculars in their hands, and frowned.

Wars at sea are as cruel as wars on land. Farfell commented lightly.

At this time, Faffel had already matured because he had experienced many battles, facing such a bloody scene. Also not afraid at all.

Haiwawei on the side nodded, and suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a few black spots that appeared in another direction: Look, what are those?

Let me take a look. Fafer quickly picked up the telescope in his hand and looked in that direction, while Haiwawei also raised the telescope to look. The black spots on the sea surface were getting bigger and bigger, and their appearance gradually became clear. They were several patrol warships of the same size as the previous battleships.

Reinforcements have arrived, Farfell said.

When the patrol ship came to help, the pirate ship immediately retreated wisely: Retreat, quickly.

Within a few minutes, I saw that there were only a few dilapidated patrol boats left on the bustling sea just now. After the reinforcement patrol boats appeared, those who helped rescue and pulled the boat were busy. into a ball.

For those pirate teams that escaped quickly, they had no other choice but to curse.

In terms of speed, the patrol boat is still fast, but there are several people on a single boat, and it is only for death. It is much more difficult for several boats and dozens of boats to go forward together.

The battle is over. Farfell, who was watching from the watchtower, sighed, looking a little disappointed.

Why, feel bored? Want to participate in the battle? Haiwawei looked at the situation on the sea, smiled and patted Farfer on the shoulder, with some encouragement: Don't worry, there will be opportunities, Remember what was said at the meeting? Be patient.

Well, I hope those nobles can discuss it quickly. If this continues, the pirate group will only become more and more difficult to deal with. Farfell muttered as he walked down: Why do you think they have become stronger? , Also, it seems that the number of people has decreased a lot, could it be a knockout round?

Unbeknownst to Farfell, the phrase hit the spot.

In the fierce pirate merger battle, of course some people died in battle, but most of them still succumbed.

Waddenwen needs manpower to build a country, and those who fail and are not strong enough will naturally become farmers. Only the most elite group of pirates will continue to exist.

Why, do you want to go back now? Haiwawei asked from behind.

The fight is over, what are you still doing here? I heard that Romon went to attend Viscount Edel's meeting. I'll go and see if he's back. Faffel waved his hand without looking back after saying this. Then went down to the watchtower.

Only Haiwawei was left alone and said to himself: It's strange to be able to come back. Those nobles who talk about it are just talking about it, and they can't get to the point. It's troublesome.

Shaking his head, he smiled wryly.

And the facts have proved that Haiwawei's guess is not wrong at all.

In a magnificent hall. The bright candlelight flickered. Although it was daytime, there was no need to light so many magic lamps and candles. However, in order to show the status and ostentation of the nobles, in the eyes of many nobles, this kind of waste was still necessary.

The letter of appeal signed by dozens of businessmen was placed on a long yellow table at this time, and the nearby nobles were sitting together, discussing what to do next to more effectively curb the expansion of pirates.

During the meeting, Vardenwen acted wildly. Not only was it a slap to Viscount Edel, but it was also a slap to all the nobles, making them all embarrassing.

I think that when dealing with these things, you can't be soft-handed. The more you are afraid of them, the more they will push forward. Therefore, my point of view is very simple, that is, an eye for an eye. Since they use force to win, then we need to use force to win. Use stronger force to destroy their will! Otherwise, they will only become bolder and bolder, and finally, they will become an indelible cancer in our kingdom! A nobleman was expounding his opinion in a meeting with great hatred. View.

Not only him, but all the nobles who suffered losses indirectly did not look very good-looking, to be precise, they were very ugly. After all, almost all commercial firms had more or less relationships with nobles.

The loss of the firm is, to some extent, equal to the loss of the nobles.

Not to mention, the pressure from the Merchant Guild, the consortium of commercial firms, is no small matter.

I agree with this point of view! Just as the previous nobleman sat down, another person stood up, expressing his support for the point of view of the person in front of him.

After he sat down, some other nobles also expressed their opinions one after another. With this common interest being damaged, the nobles of several factions expressed a very unified opinion, that is, these pirates must not be allowed to continue like this.

Looking at the views of these nobles, Romon sat in a chair, but did not speak.

It's not that he disagrees with this point of view, but he understands it. Viscount Edel called them over, not only to listen to their opinions, but also to discuss more important matters.

Sure enough, just as he thought of this, Viscount Edel, who had been silent all this time, stood up.

Always elegant, Lord Viscount Edel will never forget the etiquette and demeanor required of a nobleman no matter when or where he is.

After he stood up, he nodded to everyone present, and then said: Everyone has already said it before. Here, I will briefly talk about some things discussed in today's meeting. First of all, this meeting is held because of the current situation. The activities of pirate teams at sea are very rampant, which has seriously affected merchants' going to sea. In order not to let this situation continue to deteriorate, I invite you to come here, hoping to find a solution to this matter. I I have listened to some opinions from everyone just now, and now I would like to talk about my own proposal. I think that the pirates must not be left alone like this. If they continue to be left like this, one day, they will become a frightening battle. The disgusting disease has eroded this vast and beautiful land. So, I suggest, use the navy to fight pirates, and vote on it!

Agree, agree! The nobles below said repeatedly.

The next thing was much simpler, because the nobles present more or less suffered losses in the sea war and hated the pirates to the bone. The meeting initially passed a resolution to support the navy in combating pirates.

Seeing this, Xiu Senya did not show any joy, he understood the noble nature too well.

Sure enough, when it comes to leadership, the nobles are not willing to compromise, especially when the royal count Xiu Senya exists.

My lord earl, your opinion is indeed good. It is my right to form the kingdom's navy. However, although I am willing to contribute to the kingdom, my strength is limited, and the warships I can produce are really limited. ... Although the sound of the following words was automatically muted, the meaning couldn't be more clear, he didn't want to take out his private boat.

My lord, I also mean the same thing. The noble just sat down, and other nobles also stood up one after another, expressing that their own strength is relatively weak, and they really can't bring out battleships.

In fact, it's not that they are really as pitiful as they say, but that the nobles are unwilling to let the earl of the royal family lead this navy, because in this way, the private boats they donate will be incorporated by the royal family. In this case, one cannot openly object, so it can only be an excuse.

When Xiu Senya saw this, although she had expected it, her face turned blue.

Viscount Edel glanced at it and sneered. At this time, the meeting had been held for a long time, and he said, Since there are such big differences, we can continue the discussion at the next meeting.

Agree, agree! The nobles made a voice of agreement, and the first meeting was dispersed like this. (!)
