Chapter 462: Victory (Part 2)
Chapter 462 Victory (Part 2)
"Switch the rudder six degrees, full speed!"
"Eight-knot wind speed!"
"Keep the average speed!"
The sun is bright, but the autumn wind is cold, and there is an endless blue sea ahead, and the sailors on the deck are constantly shouting.
Warships, carrying waves of water on the sea, continued to move towards their destination. The sailors on the warships were neat and formal, with orderly manners and serious expressions, which was really a model for soldiers.
The reason is nothing special, it is because they are the most strictly regulated army - the Royal Navy.
They are members of the Fourth Fleet and are the elite navy under the Prince.
With an enviable background and enviable treatment, you must also strictly demand yourself and become the elite among the elite.
This time, they were dispatched to the sea to carry out a mission to wipe out pirates. However, what puzzled them was that in the order, the prince actually asked them to gather on an island first.
Maybe, they need to make unified arrangements and then fight again, they thought.
"I don't know if I can win this time. Your Highness... needs a victory now." A naval official looked at the sea, still a little worried.
He was the prince's confidant, named Hande, and was thirty-five years old. As the deputy commander of the Fourth Fleet, he naturally understood the prince's difficulties at this time.
Born in the royal family, although it is extremely glorious and has a noble status, it is not completely harmless.
First, we need to contribute to the royal family while enjoying the honor of the royal family. Second, as an ambitious prince, we need to make all kinds of efforts to defeat other competitors and become the winner in the end. Otherwise, the final outcome may be even more miserable than that of ordinary nobles.
At this time, His Highness the Prince had left the royal city for a long time, but had made very few achievements. If this continues, it would definitely not be a good thing. He knew that the prince urgently needed a victory to prove himself. As a subordinate, Hande also valued this battle very much. Thinking of the Wang family navy's outing a few days ago, he let out a gentle breath. If the two fleets fought together, the chance of victory would be much greater. He was still optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the Wang family navy, which was led by the young nobles.
"Sir, that island is only ten nautical miles away from us." At this time, someone came to report.
Looking at the turbulent sea, Hande let out a light breath. It is hard to be a navy. How many dangers are hidden in this seemingly calm sea? Even the most experienced sailors are difficult to know all of them, right?
You should know that in order to prevent the last storm crisis from happening again, when they went to sea again, several mages and druids had been arranged on the ship, all of whom were subordinates of the prince. If they were arranged on the ship, if force could not solve the problem, their power might come in handy.
However, something extremely dangerous happened just now. When they first left the port, they happened to pass through a foggy sea area. As a result, they almost collided with several huge sea beasts coming from the opposite side. Fortunately, the mage and the druid cast spells together, using the confusion of the spells, which made the huge and hard sea beasts stagger the battleship and swam over. Otherwise, it would be easy to cause damage to the ship.
In the fog, any danger could occur. They just missed the group of sea beasts and a warship and touched the reef.
The water leaked on one side of the ship. The mage on the ship used magic in time, allowing the gap to be blocked with magic power, which temporarily alleviated the crisis.
After this crisis, the ships began to move slowly, and waited for the foggy section of the sea area, which was not far from the island where they were destination. They did not reach the time specified by the prince, and each looked a little uneasy.
"Okay, hurry up and go there. If it's too late, Your Highness will definitely blame him." Looking at the uneasy expression of the person who reported in front of him, Hande shook his head and immediately ordered. He knew the prince's temper. Sometimes he was very smart and wise, sometimes he was irritable. He had a typical dual personality. I just hope that the prince would be less angry this time.
After all, there is a reason why they come late. No one knows that heavy fog will suddenly rise on the sea. In this case, it is easy to lose its direction, especially on the sea where there are no reference objects on all sides.
After a brief silence, the sailors accelerated. The sounds on the ship kept coming.
"Be careful! There is a reef in front! Just ahead! Hurry around!" A mage suddenly spoke. He was a standing mage for warships used to sense the reefs, which came in handy when it was unfamiliar. At this time, the fluctuations of the magic he used came.
"Switch the rudder..." The sailor quickly took action.
The sound of water splashes kept coming, and waves hit the sidewalks, Hande stood quietly in front of the battleship, watching the island getting closer and closer to him.
The figures on the edge of the island were clearly visible. It can be seen that they were all regular servants and soldiers, but they were symbols of two territories. It seems that the young baron is also very likely to be on this island. Hande confirmed his guess more and more. It seems that this time, the prince is going to join forces with the Wang Navy to deal with the pirates.
Until he got ashore, he hadn't guessed the truth.
"Your Highness, I'm late." Han De saluted to the prince.
"Oh, is there anything?" the prince asked in a good mood.
Hande explained one by one, while observing the prince's face, the prince's face remained motionless and seemed very calm.
After finishing his speech, he pondered for a moment before saying, "Since it's a special situation, I'll be exempted. However, come here, I have a major thing to hand over to you."
"Yes, sir!" Han De said respectfully, but as the prince said, his expression became more and more surprised.
When Hander learned that Baron Tetasha was willing to give half of the victory to the prince, his face couldn't help but be moved, and a hint of gratitude was revealed in his eyes when he looked at Romon.
After all, my own adults really need a victory, and when His Highness needs it the most, victory comes like this. It is really hard to make people not admire the generous person.
Of course, the transaction between Romon and the prince is kept confidential, and the prince cannot tell his subordinates. Therefore, Romon actually received some extra gratitude from the prince's confidants, which was unexpected.
His Highness the Prince actually only knew that Romon had won the battle and wanted to share the fruits of victory with him. The only people of the battle, Romon, Avessi and Wadenwen were insiders, and they were all people who could not reveal the news.
Then, the members of the two fleets who had good lines happily boarded the warship and returned to the port together.
Although the prince still wants to go around the island more, the island is already his own, and there will be opportunities in the future, not at this moment.
So, after a walk to sea, the prince's navy returned with the Wang family navy who had gone to sea several days ago. At the same time, the news of uniting to defeat the pirates was brought back.
Suddenly, the entire area was shocked.
"What did you say? They won? Return together?" The heavy low pressure in Viscount Edel's house in Apps City made people breathless.
Lord Viscount Edel has been in a good mood recently, at least, before getting the news, he has been in a good mood.
The reason is very simple. The Count sent from above did not have any achievements, but his once arrogant appearance disappeared, which made him feel very happy.
At the same time, Baron Tetasha, who had been smooth sailing, first failed to go to sea and disappeared for many days. Although he finally returned with his life, his fame has been affected.
Although the incident in the Fringe Forest shocked the entire county and even he was scared, his territory was very far away from the forest.
He didn't have to worry about his territory at all, and the young Baron Tetasha had a large territory located in the edge forest. Even if this Baron Tetasha would not fight with the elves in the forest, the elites of the Glory Lord's Church in the entire county were lost to the edge forest. The Glory Lord's Church and the elves in the forest were definitely a situation of dying. In this case, the forest house would definitely be implicated, and these troubles had nothing to do with him. Viscount Edel naturally felt happy when he thought of these.
However, at the moment, his mood has obviously become worse.
The young Count who had been dormant was actually hooked up with Baron Tetasha again, and after joining forces against the enemy, they won a big victory. I heard that they also obtained two large islands with abundant resources, with a vast area, fertile land and a suitable climate. This kind of good thing is definitely much greater than the confusion caused to the other party by the troubles of the marginal forest.
With this victory, if the Earl from the Royal City helps Baron Tetasha, it is very likely that Baron Tetasha will soon become a viscount, with the same status as his own.
When Viscount Edel's mood became particularly bad when he thought of this.
He looked at the attendant kneeling in front of him and asked him to retreat with a gloomy face. He sat alone in the room with a gloomy face and no one saw him.
Unlike his depression, he received news of the victory of the two fleets, and the little nobles and merchants in the county welcomed him. They even formed teams, on both sides of the street, at the port of Yuanfan Town, and in places where the navy would pass by, and welcomed him in teams.
Looking at the welcome of the people, merchants and little nobles on both sides, Romon nodded secretly.
Then, the gifts sent by these people fell over like raindrops. Sometimes the business sent a cart of gifts, sometimes the nobleman brought a team of sponsorship, and sometimes the place where the two fleets were located, the gifts piled up more than a hill.
Romon was very happy about this. He generously divided half of the prince's team's gift, but the prince felt that he had not made any real contributions, so he refused to give it.
Since the other party didn't want it, Romon was naturally happy to accept it all, so these things were pulled back to Tetashaw, and for a moment, they made a fortune of not much or small.
