Chapter 362: Dispute (Part 2)

There was not only one battle, but there were also several sporadic battles outside Yuanfan Port.

"This battle is a bit frustrating. Look at the pirates, they fight so fiercely, and the boats run so fast. This kind of fighting style will be useless even if it takes ten years, unless it is to use the army."

Yuanfan Town on the coast is a small town established by Romon near the port. The land here is fertile and its own port. The daily farming and the money earned from moving goods can allow people to live a good life and be prosperous. A row of buildings like a watchtower stands tall in the town's inner walls. This watchtower is about sixteen or seventeen meters high, which is much higher than all the nearby houses. There are patrolling soldiers on it, and they are constantly patrolling, dozens of crossbows, arranged on different floors and bow eyes.

It can be said that although this place is close to the seaside, its defense is still in place. As the owner of this town, Romon puts defense first in the arrangement of any territory.

Fafer and Hevavi were standing at the highest point of the watchtower at this time. Fafer said, holding a monocular telescope designed by Romon in his hand, observing the situation on the sea in the distance.

On that sea, several pirates were fighting with several patrol ships, but it was obvious that although the several patrol ships sent by the Viscount were quite deterrent, these professional combatants were still at a disadvantage compared to these pirates.

"It seems that pirates were not so fierce before. Could it be that they were much more powerful after being incorporated by Wadenwen?" Haiwawei was puzzled, but agreed and said: "Unless you use the official navy to win more, you will want to fight with these elite guys with just a few warships, which is to insult yourself."

"Maybe, you are right." Fafer, who looked at the sea and watched with a telescope, sighed, looking a little unhappy.

On the sea, a duel is unfolding!

"Go ahead at full speed! All combatants are ready!"

"Go ahead at full speed! All combatants are ready!"

The maritime patrol ship, which received a signal from the merchant's help, fought with the pirate ship.

The patrol ships that took the lead in attacking, and the pirate warships were not to be outdone, and several ships leaned together.

There was only one pirate ship with dozens of pirates on it, and there were seven or eight patrol ships. The patrol soldiers had already prepared the battle and rushed forward together. For a moment, they started fighting on the deck.

During the fight, people kept falling down and falling into the sea. The smell of blood actually 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 Hevavi, who were watching these from afar, couldn't help but put down the telescope in their hands and frowned.

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

At this time, Fafeer had begun to mature after experiencing many battles, and he would not be afraid of such a bloody scene.

Haiwawei nodded, and suddenly, his eyes were attracted by several black dots appearing in the other direction: "Look, what are those?"

"Let me see." Fafer quickly picked up the telescope in his hand and looked in that direction. Haiwavi also raised the telescope to look. He saw that the black spots on the sea were getting bigger and bigger, and their appearance gradually became clearer. They were several patrol warships of the same size as the previous warships.

"Reinforcements have arrived." Fafell said.

When the patrol ship came to help, the pirate ship immediately cleverly chose to retreat: "Retreat, hurry."

Within a few minutes, I saw that the sea that was still fighting just now was quiet, and there were only a few broken patrol ships left. After the reinforcements patrol ships appeared, those who helped rescue and those who pulled the boats were busy.

For those pirate teams who were escaping quickly, they had no other way except to curse.

In terms of speed, the patrol boat is still fast, but there are only a few people in a single boat, and only a few people can die when they go up. It is much more difficult to take a few boats and a dozen boats together to move forward.

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

"Why, I feel stuffy? Want to join the battle?" Haiwave looked at the situation on the sea, smiled and patted Fafell on the shoulder, with some encouragement: "Don't worry, there will be opportunities. Remember what you said at the meeting? Be patient."

"Well, I hope those nobles can discuss it quickly. If they continue to procrastinate, the pirate group will only become more and more difficult to deal with." Fafell muttered and walked downward: "Why do you think they have become stronger? And, it seems that the number of people is much smaller. Could it be the knockout round?"

Fafeer didn't know that, and he was right.

During the fierce pirate annexation war, some of them died in the battle, but most of them still surrendered.

Wadengwen needed manpower to establish the country, and those who failed but were not strong enough naturally became cultivated farmers, and only the most elite group of pirates continued to exist.

"What, are you going back now?" Hevavi asked behind.

"I've finished the fight, why are you still doing here? I heard that Romon went to attend Viscount Edel's meeting, so I'll see if I'm back." After saying this, Fafell waved his hand without looking back, and then got off the watchtower.

Only Haiwawei was left alone and said to himself: "It would be strange if you can come back. Those nobles who are talking about each other will only make a fuss. There is no point in getting the point. I'm trouble."

Shaking his head, he smiled bitterly.

And facts have proved that Hevavi's guess is correct at all.

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

The complaint signed by dozens of merchants was placed on a long yellow table at this time, and the nobles nearby sat together, discussing what to do to more effectively curb the expansion of pirates.

During the meeting, Wadenwen's rampant actions not only slapped Viscount Edel, but also slapped all the nobles, making them all look dull.

"I think you can't be ruthless when dealing with these bastards. The more you are afraid of them, the more they will be more aggressive. Therefore, my point of view is very simple, that is, they are too tit for tooth. Since they use force to win, then we need to use stronger force to destroy their will! Otherwise, they will only become more and more bold and eventually become an indelible cancer in our kingdom!" A nobleman expressed his point of view very much at the meeting.

Not only him, but all the nobles who received indirect losses were not very good-looking, to be precise, very ugly. After all, almost all the business companies have more or less relationships with the nobles.

The losses of the business are, to some extent, equal to the losses of the nobles.

Not to mention, the pressure from the Merchant Guild, a consortium of the business bank, is also very serious.

"I agree with this point of view!" The former noble had just sat down, and another person stood up, expressing his support for the person in front of him.

After he sat down, some other nobles also expressed their opinions. When the common interests were damaged, the nobles of several factions expressed a very unified opinion, that is, they must not allow these pirates to continue like this.

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

It was not that he disagreed with this view, but that Viscount Edel asked them to come over, not only to listen to what they said, but also to have more important things to discuss.

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

Always elegant Viscount Aidel will never forget the etiquette and demeanor needed to be a nobleman no matter when or on any occasion.

After he stood up, he nodded to everyone present, and then said: "Everyone has already said that, here, I will briefly talk about the things discussed in today's meeting. First of all, this meeting was held because the activities of the pirate team at sea are very rampant and have seriously affected the merchants' going to sea. In order not to let this situation continue to worsen, I invited you to come here, hoping to find a solution to this matter. I have heard some of the opinions of everyone just now. Now, I will talk about my own proposal. I think that we must not continue to let the pirates ignore it. If we continue to let it go, one day, they will become a disgusting disease and erode this vast and beautiful land. Therefore, I suggest that we use the navy to fight pirates and vote on it!"

"Agree, agree!" the noble below said repeatedly.

The next thing was much simpler, because the nobles present received losses in the midst of the maritime war and hated the pirates to the core. 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 nature of aristocrats too much.

Sure enough, in terms of leadership, nobility was willing to compromise, especially when the royal count Xiusenya existed.

"Dear Count, your opinion is indeed good. It is also the right to form a kingdom navy. But although I am willing to contribute my own part to the kingdom, my strength is limited, and the warships I can take out are really..." Although the following words were automatically silent, I couldn't understand the meaning. He didn't want to take out his private ship.

"Sir, I mean that, too." As soon as the nobleman sat down, the other nobles stood up and said that they were relatively weak and could not take out the battleship.

In fact, it’s not that they are really as pitiful as they said. It’s just that all the nobles are unwilling to let the Earl of the Wang family lead the navy, because in this way, the private ships they contributed will be incorporated by the royal family. In this case, they cannot openly oppose it, so they can only shirk it.

Seeing this, Xiu Senya had expected it, but her face turned blue.

Viscount Edel glanced and sneered. At this time, the meeting had been held for a long time. He said, "Since there are such big differences, we can continue to discuss it next time we hold a meeting."
