Heaven’s Intention

On the third day, when it was just dawn. The defenders of Aps City saw many ornately decorated carriages approaching the gate of the city. Because the city gate had just been opened, there were not many people entering and leaving the city, which made the carriages stand out.

Who are these people? Seeing the carriages driving into the city, the soldier asked.

The veteran who knew something inside looked at them and said slowly, Don't you guys know what happened a few days ago?

Seeing that the other people still had inexplicable expressions, he sighed suddenly: I mean, don't you all know about the pirates? These carriages all have noble symbols on them. If you come here early in the morning, it's obvious that something happened. Big things, besides the pirates, are there any other things that adults should come over recently?

Hearing that this was really the case, the soldiers became even more curious. I heard that pirates attacked many places along the coast. Is it true?

It's not true, are there any fake ones? You don't know how dark the face of Lord Viscount Edel was last night. My uncle is the second housekeeper of the Viscount's mansion. I heard that the whole study room was smashed Now, tell me, is it true? The veteran soldier who knew the inside story said with disdain.

Oh my god! This kind of thing really happened. It seems that the county will not be lively in the future. The other soldiers shook their heads and sighed after hearing this.

At this time, people began to enter and leave the city gate, they had no time to talk, and they all returned to their posts, with a trace of worry and inexplicable excitement still on their faces.

This feeling of being inexplicably excited when you hear about something is human nature. Even if you know it is not a good thing, you will still inexplicably want to know and talk about it.

Immediately after the pirates swept away a large number of people and wealth, news of the pirates plundering the coastal town spread in the nearby territories.

The people who talked the most about this matter were naturally those in Apus City.

There are several reasons. First, Aps City is far away from the coastal areas, so it is not easy to be invaded by pirates. Second, the defense of this city is very strong. Even if the pirates really attacked the city, it is basically delusional to enter the city .

Tens of thousands of World of Warcraft failed to do it. If a group of pirates did it, it would be a big joke.

city ​​people. Down to the common people, up to the small nobles and ordinary rich people, they are all discussing this matter without any worries. They took it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

The real losers were the great nobles who had ports and towns along the coast,

And the poor tenants who live there have nothing to do with them. It's nothing to do with yourself, hang it high, this kind of situation is a wise saying in any country in any world.

In the open space in front of Viscount Edel's mansion, there are many carriages parked. The horses lower their heads, eat grass, or flick their tails to enjoy themselves. The owners of these carriages are all in the mansion at this time meeting.

The meeting room was chosen in the largest luxury study in the Viscount Edel's mansion. Some of the sundries inside were moved to one side, and a very expensive long table was placed in the middle, with more than a dozen high-end tables on both sides. chairs, the floor is covered with a high-quality red carpet, and maids are constantly bringing in fruits and refreshments.

Because the things discussed were somewhat depressing and angry, the ongoing meeting at this time seemed very tense and depressing.

That's according to Viscount Edel. What should I do? Baron Shaka sat on the third chair on the right hand side with a friendly face. He wore an unassuming robe, but he had an air that the nobles in the county could not learn.

This also secretly made the nobles of Viscount Edel's faction feel depressed. Obviously, this smiling guy was just a Lord before, but now, he who quickly rushed to the position of Baron, actually looks more like a nobleman than himself.

It seems that Wangcheng is Wangcheng. As for the count, His Highness, who had been sitting in the middle, was smiling and watching the discussion, neither speaking nor interjecting.

Because of his very young age, the nobles present only respected him superficially, but in fact, they didn't feel that this man knew anything in their hearts.

After listening to Baron Shaka's question, Viscount Edel coughed lightly, and then said slowly: Actually, I have discussed this matter with several other adults in private. Judging from the current situation, If we don’t build up the navy as soon as possible, we won’t be able to do it. Therefore, we agree to share supplies and build up the navy as soon as possible. I believe everyone will agree with this, right?” After finishing speaking, he looked at the nobles around him.

Where do these nobles disagree? I still feel awkward in my heart, because of the harassment of pirates. They will still express their opinions one by one, expressing their willingness to contribute materials to build this navy.

At this point in the meeting, the first matter was officially resolved.

There is another matter, which is also very serious than this matter, that is, let's discuss the candidate for the commander of the navy.

In the last meeting, when sharing materials and discussing the candidate for the commander, there was a conflict, and finally everyone broke up unhappy. At this time, when this matter was brought up again, everyone's faces suddenly became uncomfortable again.

I think everyone should think about it again. Baron Shaka couldn't help but said when the meeting was at an impasse.

Then, he took a careful look at His Highness on the main seat, worried that His Highness who is an earl would be unhappy.

However, judging from the performance of the earl at this time, his self-cultivation is really good. Although he knew that all the nobles present were unwilling to hand over the supplies on the territory and the command of the navy to members of the royal family, his face remained still. With a faint smile. He didn't look angry. As for what he was thinking in his heart, no one knew.

Watching him have to keep smiling in front of everyone. Romon, who was sitting second on the right, looked at it and couldn't help but sigh secretly. It seems that it is not easy to be an earl. It is said that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a snake, especially in such a complicated situation in the kingdom. Although the status of an empty earl is noble, it is only on the surface. What happened to the earl? On the surface, I respect you, but it really touches on my own interests. Still can't let it go.

Okay, I agree with Baron Shaka's opinion. Everyone should discuss it again. This kind of thing will not last for a while, maybe it will last for a long time. You must choose someone who everyone is familiar with and agrees with. Earl My lord, what do you think? Viscount Aidell looked at the count in the main seat with some deep meaning after finishing what he said earlier.

The earl, who has always maintained a noble smile, frowned slightly when he heard this. Although he let go quickly, if you are careful, you can still find that his right hand finger moved slightly. move. And all of this was not noticed by others, and it was all clearly seen by Romon at the side.

It turned out that he wasn't in a good temper, but he was also enduring.

Romon thought to himself, and felt a little bit of sympathy for the earl. It was really aggrieved that he could be suppressed like this by a local snake, but he had no reason to get angry.

This depends on how everyone sees it. I respect your choice! the earl said with a smile.

At such a time, the nobles are still unwilling to hand over their fate to the royal family, because everyone knows that once the royal family, which already has a righteous name, gains superior strength, it will be a harsher situation for all the nobles.

However, besides the Wang Family Navy, who else will solve this matter?

In a way, the count also owes thanks to the pirates.

Facing Viscount Edel's questioning, the earl chose to give in.

It is impossible for the local nobles to let members of the royal family directly serve as the commanders of the crusade against pirates. If so, then wait for the next attack and cry and beg me!

Thinking of this, Xiu Senya calmed down.

But being so suppressed by a Viscount Edel. Xiu Senya was really upset.

Don't look at the gentle smile on his face at this time, he has already chopped the other party into seventy or eighty pieces in his heart.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast his eyes to the right side. The nobles on this side are all nobles who are not close to the Viscount faction or even have some conflicts. With these strengths, next time, he will take the position for granted, right?

Thinking of this, Xiu Senya showed a real smile on his face.

However, the following debate is getting more and more heated.

To deal with the captain of the fleet entrusted with his wealth and life, this candidate, even the nobles would not dare to make up for it.

...How about Bunkies?

The last time he dealt with a small pirate, he was beaten back in a panic. How can he deal with the guy who has swept the nearby waters this time and is almost called the pirate king? How can our fleet be handed over to him? Immediately some nobles objected, although This Bunkes is from the viscount side, but most of the nobles are still sensible and cannot hand over this position to a mediocre and incompetent person, which will make everyone pay a water ticket.

...how is Xiao Si?

Too young, no merit at all, I'm afraid I can't suppress it, the people at sea are very rebellious! Speaking of this, the nobles knew it well. After fifteen years, Shakat's command was disbanded, and the fleet immediately Falling apart, much to the great loss of the nobles, the realization that the land and the sea are different.

At sea, you can't pick peaches casually, and the authority of the nobles can't extend to the deck, so you can't control it at all.

...However, it is a waste of time to continue arguing like this. I have already seen a suitable candidate, who also meets the characteristics of the local nobles you just mentioned, who are familiar with coastal conditions, and who are good at fighting. I believe everyone will be able to do the same. Agreed, he will be the commander-in-chief of the navy. He is Romon, the lord of Tertashaw. At this time, a nobleman suddenly said, and his eyes fell on Romon who was sitting aside.

After hearing this, the others all turned their attention to Romon.

And Baron Rocas, who had foreseen this happening long ago, began to sigh again in his heart. This kid is really lucky.

After all, it is necessary to choose a naval captain now. Since the earl cannot be chosen, and the local viscount cannot propose a suitable candidate, Romon, who already owns eight ships, is undoubtedly the only choice. After all, he is still a local nobleman. And not real royal pie.

Naturally, Luo Meng tried every means to evade, but under the half-smiling gaze of this highness, his spine suddenly felt a chill.

The nobles of the viscount faction on the side seemed to understand at this time that under such circumstances, letting Romon be the commander of the crusade against the bandits was the only thing that could make everyone happy, so they all agreed.

...Well, if everyone supports you, I will take this position. At this time, Romon had no choice but to agree. He finally experienced the feeling of being added in a yellow robe, but even so, he didn't agree. He glanced at everyone, and now it's time to bargain with all the nobles.

After all, I, Romon, took out eight boats. If you don't want to bleed, it is impossible. (!)
