Heaven’s Intention

Yuanfan Harbor. Naval Base

My lord. This is the Breaker. It is 25 meters long and has a load of 500 tons.

This is Yunwu, with a length of 30 meters and a load of 600 tons.

This is Haige, the ship is 25 meters long and has a load of 500 tons.

Listening to the voices introduced one by one, from the military dock, Romon looked away from the fleet and smiled faintly.

I heard that the strongest battleships are now?

Yes, my lord, the battleship is the strongest ship now, with a load capacity of 2,000 tons. The Kingdom of Tareza has reportedly built three ships. This is a terrible expense for the Kingdom of Tareza, and the national treasury's annual income is not enough. It will cost more than 900,000 gold coins, and a battleship will cost 150,000 gold coins.

Hmph, it costs more than ordinary mage towers. Romon shook his head. The final price of the mage tower he built was 20,000 gold coins, which already included the cost of future decoration.

My lord, yes, but it is said that all the hulls are strengthened with magic, making the wooden hulls as hard as iron, and equipped with magic cannons on them. It will take two years to build one. Shakat said with emotion, saying to a For a captain, commanding such a ship is the pinnacle.

We can't afford such a ship, and we can't support it. Romon said, paused, and said jokingly, If I were an earl, maybe I could support a battleship.

Even for the Earl, it was a crazy idea.

Yes, my lord! Shakat said, looking at Romon.

At this time, around Romon, there were 20 cavalrymen wearing leather armor and leading horses, including several crossbowmen. This was a powerful force.

At this time, Luo Meng was tall and tall, with an elegant demeanor. There is a demeanor accustomed to the superiors in every gesture, and the traces of the former small staff, college students, and small townspeople have been completely eliminated.

25 years old, the lord is only 25 years old, and he has already created this foundation.

Romon also watched Shakat. Shakat, who was 45 years old, began to bald. It is said that this person devoted himself to the fleet and made great contributions to the establishment of the Fifth Fleet.

Right now, half of the fifteen warships are built by him.

Deputy Commander Shakat. Romon suddenly said in a deep voice.

Here, my lord, what are your orders?

I have always seen your meritorious deeds. I have a 1,500-acre manor outside the city, and I am willing to entrust it to you. It's just that you are neither a knight above the fifth level, nor have you established military merits. I can only let you keep it. However, I can promise that after this battle, I will promote you as a lord. Romon said flatly.

Yes, my lord, I and my descendants will be loyal to you for generations. Shakat said while holding back the excitement in his heart.

Obtaining a manor means entering the ranks of prepared nobles.

Also, Deputy Governor Shakat, among these ships, please choose one as the flagship, and choose a ship that can transport and fight. You are the highest officer of this fleet. I hope you can lead him to victory and be safe. Come back. Romon said: You must know how to choose, so I won't interfere.

Yes, my lord, I will choose seven ships. Shakat had already prepared in his heart, and ordered out the ships one by one, leaving a big ship at the port.

These seven ships are all capable of sailing in the ocean and are suitable for long-distance voyages, while the other ships can only sail in the near sea.

By the way, all the dehydrated vegetables have been sealed up. I have requested three priests of the Goddess of Agriculture to accompany you. They will record your achievements and heal you at critical times.

As he said that, with a wave of his hand, a group of people appeared at the port in a short while. This was a supply of 40 carriages, including food, water, wine, and concentrated vegetables.

Originally, in order to prevent scurvy, large barrels of fruit were needed, but this took up too much space. Now, dehydrated simple cans can already reduce the area by 90%, greatly increasing the materials that the fleet can carry.

You have to complete the reorganization of these supplies and candidates within three days. By the way, after you leave, who will be in command of the remaining fleet? Romon asked looking at the sunny sea.

... If you will allow me, I recommend Peek, who is an excellent naval commander.

Call him over. Let me watch.

yes!

After a while, a man came over. This man was about thirty years old. He had a bronze complexion blown out by the sea breeze, and he was wearing a beautiful navy uniform. He looked really good.

My lord, my lord! Pique saluted and said.

You are Pick? Commander Shakat wants to perform military affairs and recommended you to be the commander of the remaining port navy. How about your own wishes?

...Yes, lord lord, lord governor. I think I can take the role! Pique's eyes lit up, and he saluted.

That's good. I'll appoint you as the second deputy commander. Together with Commander Shakat, we will divide the fleet and deal with everything within three days.

Yes, my lord!

After the man left excitedly, Romon spoke to Shakat.

...Remember, this naval battle has nothing to do with us. Although merit is very important, your people, as well as the ship, are more important to me.

Although you are fighting with Prince Xiu Senya, I have already negotiated with him to only perform transportation and security tasks, and not to perform frontal naval combat tasks. Of course, this is up to you to judge.

Don't just turn it into a consumable, just do what you should do. Everything must be done with the interests of the Fifth Fleet and your safety in mind.

Luo Meng said with a serious face: Also, if there is any consumption, remember, don't be polite, ask the prince and the kingdom for it, if your judgment is unfavorable, you can retreat back to the country.

Hearing this, Shakat smiled, quickly restrained his smile, and replied with a serious face: I see!

Well, it's good to know. Romon patted Shakat on the shoulder and nodded to him: Go!

Yes, my lord! Shakat gave Romon a Don't worry smile, and walked aside. As the vice-captain, he began preparations for these three days.

Romon looked at him, gave orders, and the entire fleet was organized and distributed in an orderly manner, nodded, turned and left.

In fact, Prince Xiu Senya originally wanted Romon to go with him, but Romon was unwilling.

I don't know why, a huge and terrifying feeling hovering over the sea made him have some kind of ominous remote sensing, Romon didn't want to go to sea.

Then only entrust Shakat, he is an excellent naval commander.

Besides, the effort in the ecological field is indeed very important. This is the capital for a reasonable promotion to level 15 or above. Otherwise, human society will doubt Romon.

After getting into the carriage, 20 cavalrymen surrounded themselves with swords.

Romon was thinking.

There are a total of seven counties in the Kingdom of Esk.

Edme City (county) and Plain County are the territories of the royal family, especially Plain County, which is located in a fertile plain and is the national grain production base. It is also rich in grapes and olives. In fact, it has already become the fundamental place of the royal family.

The counties of Ornell and Illinson are the areas where the royal family can reach the influence, and also occupy some proportion of the land.

The three counties of Puckett, Rumke, and De Dag are controlled by their respective earls, but they are only nominally subject to the king, and they are largely autonomous.

Once the Kingdom of Esk was established, it entrusted a large number of nobles and knights.

However, the entire kingdom, with two grand dukes, three marquises, and twelve earls, is at the highest level of the kingdom.

And below, hundreds of viscounty and baronies are constantly evolving with rise and fall.

It can be said that once he reaches the earl, he is a noble family in the kingdom, and he can belong to the ranks of noble families in the entire continent.

Taking advantage of the calamity to reach the Viscount is actually an exception, and it is basically impossible to reach the Earl.

Even if Prince Xiu Senya becomes king, it is unlikely that he will be promoted from viscount to earl in this way.

Unless it's me, reaching level 15, and formally breaking through to the realm of the Archdruid, at that time, with the cooperation of various factors, it is still possible for the Earl.

In this world, nobles hold powerful power and strength, and are the real power faction in one land.

And even a grand duke, marquis, or earl would not want to rashly quarrel with a professional above the fifteenth level. Breaking through the fifteenth level means that half a foot has stepped into the existence of legend.

Once it reaches legend, in a world where it is difficult for gods to descend directly, the state government, and even the church, are basically powerless about it.

Of course, if the rules are broken too much, the gods will descend to the avatar at any cost to obliterate them.

Above the fifteenth level, the knight will be called the Golden Knight.

A mage will be called a magician.

Druids will be called Grand Druids.

These are all terms with strong deterrent power. Only when they reach this height can they be truly recognized and treated by the mainland.

As long as I reach the fifteenth level, I can officially crown the title of Archdruid, so that I will have enough power to protect my territory and family. Romon thought this way: Even if it is the Church of Radiance, the original shit He will not be accused of committing crimes against himself.”

If I reach the level of legend, as long as I don't blaspheme God, the Church of Glory will not easily stand against me. At that time, it will be called no taboo. How many years will it take?

Five years, or seven years? Hey, by then, if I don't have to ask for it, the kingdom will come to seal it.

Actually, as long as I get the title of Archdruid, I don't have to worry so much about what I do. Hmph, so what if I openly send dryads to dig trees in the Thorn Forest? Who can doubt an Archdruid? As long as I'm not Insane, openly burning the forest.

Last time, I went to Shennongjiao to see that 50,000 mu of saplings had already grown, about half a foot high, but it would take at least five to six years for them to grow to more than three meters and form a forest. Bar?

This promotion from level 14 to level 15 may take one and a half to two years to accumulate.

But that's fine, at that time, the first batch of druid students should come in handy.

How could a big druid not have a group of little druids around him, willing to do his bidding? (!)
