"Okay, that's the final finishing work."

With the last hay tied tight, the voodoo doll on Princess Navarra's hand was completed. The Count of Ile-de-France gave the final guidance:

“Has your hair been put in?”

"I let it go early in the morning, so that you won't be stolen by you and then turn the tables on the ground and say I lost it myself."

“Is there any hatred that is poured into production?”

"If hatred is water, your ship will sink."

"Then," the Count of Ile-de-France stretched out his hand, "How about I sell three gold coins to me? Actually, I'm still very reluctant to be stabbed with a needle."

"Don't think about it. I will remember your grudge for the rest of my life." Princess Navarra picked up the straw man, "You just wait for the needle in the middle of the night to be stabbed in the middle of the night and be better than death!"

"Okay." The Earl of Ile-de-France sighed and stood up, "Go to the deck. The Duke of Brittany has received it."

The Principality of Brittany is a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides, with only one side connected to the Almany Federation by land.

The scenery in front of me was somewhat unexpected, without golden beaches, no black and bald reefs, and no prosperous port. In the eyes of the Earl of Ile de France and others was a stone wall. Although it was not very high, it surrounded the slender coastline. Its left side extends to the hillside of a mountain, and on the right side it stretched all the way to the sky, as if it had wrapped the entire Duke of Brittany into a huge castle.

"I didn't see this big wall when I came to me last time." Bai Gong was a little surprised, "When was it built?"

"How long ago was the last time?" Hongdao asked.

"About ten years ago?"

"That's right," Hongdao nodded, "it was before the new Duke of Brittany ascended the throne."

"But why?" Baigong was puzzled. "What is the benefit of building a wall along the coastline to surround the Principality of Brittany? The money required is not a small amount. When did the Duke of Brittany be so rich?"

"In fact, this wall does not surround the entire coastline of the Principal of Brittany, but only surrounds the surrounding area of ​​the capital. The rest of the land is only a small wooden fence." The Earl of Ile-de-France said, "If this wall is not raised along the entire coast of the Principal of Brittany, the pirate kingdom will come to plunder day after day, seriously affecting the development of the territory. Instead of giving money to the pirate kingdom for free, it is better to use it to build a wall, right?"

Baigong then suddenly realized that as the Earl of France said, the price was not unbearable. Alfred built a new fleet to fight against pirates, and Duke Otto built a fortress along the river to fight pirates. The cost was no less than the cost of building such a great wall along the coast.

"I heard that the plunder of the pirate kingdom has affected all countries for a long time. Their ships are too fast, and they plunder when they come and run away. The lords from all over the country cannot deal with it, so they can only allow the coastal villages to be plundered again and again." Princess Navarra, who was beside him, thoughtful, "It turns out that it is not that there is no way to deal with it, but just to see if the local lords are willing to spend money to protect the territories along the coast?"

"Yes," said the Earl of Ile de France, "basically, you can see the power of a lord from this matter. The Duke of Brittany is indeed a young and promising lord."

"Then has our great and wise consuls done anything to resist pirates?" Princess Navarra deliberately provoked the Earl of Ile-de-France. The Duke of Brittany was her fiancé, and she felt so comfortable that she could beat the Earl of Ile-de-France.

The Count of Ile de France's answer was still so shameless: "The Ile de France is not coastal. As for other territories, it is the affairs of the local lords. What does it have to do with me?"

There are several guards on duty every distance above the city wall. There is a gate under the city wall, and several ships are passing by.

The door is very spacious and can accommodate four merchant ships passing side by side. When passing under the gate, you can see a thick iron fence hanging above. Unlike the city gate, there is water below it, and there are many gaps in the middle, allowing water to flow through, but people and ships cannot drill through. Siege hammers, siege towers, siege machines and other siege weapons cannot be built on the sea. Once this iron gate is put down, there is probably nothing to break it.

After passing through the gate, my eyes suddenly became clear. The real port was there, and many ships were anchored on the port.

"It's quite prosperous," said Bai Gong. "It's really not easy at the moment when the Black Death is raging."

"No." Hongdao said, "Look carefully, 90% of the ships are warships."

As Hongdao said, most of the ships docked in the port were equipped with weapons such as crossbows, corners and other weapons. Many soldiers were practicing on the deck. As soon as the Earl of the Ile de France's ship was docked, a team of soldiers came over and stopped them before they got off the boat.

"Where did you come from?" The soldiers questioned the Count of Ile-de-France and his group like the imperial guards in the palace. "What are you doing here?"

"This is the consul of the Allemany Federation, Caroling!" Black Tianping shouted, "And the princess of Navarra, your lord's fiancée! Tell the Duke of Brittany quickly!"

The soldiers began to whisper. One of them ran out, and after a while, he rushed back with a knight.

"Who is the consul of the Allegiance of the United States?" the knight shouted under the boat, "Let me see the heraldry of your family!"

The Count of Ile de France waved his hand to signal the knight to board the ship. When he showed the token to the knight, Bai Gong put his head to the red knife's ear and asked softly: "Did you notice it?"

"Yes." Hongdao nodded, "There are two catapult positions in the distance, aiming at this place."

"What happened here? The Earl of France asked the knight, "Why is he in a battle?"

"Sir, you don't know. Not long ago, a sea monster passed by, it was as huge as an island, and it circled the entire coastline of the Principal of Brittany for a week. All the troops were mobilized. We don't know if it will come back, so the alert is ongoing recently."

After checking the tokens displayed by the Count of Ile de France, the knight stood at attention and gave a military salute:

"His Excellency Caroling, please wait here for a moment. I will inform the Duke to come to see you immediately!"

"No, I'll go to the market first and let the Duke of Brittany wait in his castle." The Earl of Ile-de-France waved his hand, then looked back at Princess Navarra, "I'm going to see your fiancé soon. Do you want to buy a new set of clothes with me first?"

Princess Navarra pouted and snorted, "Why should I wear the clothes you bought to see my fiancé?"

The Count of Ile-de-France shrugged: "If you don't mind that this dress you have ever peeded on, I don't care."
