Yuanfan Port. Naval Base
"Sir, this is the Blade, the boat is 25 meters long and the load is 500 tons."
"This is Yunwu, with a length of 30 meters and a load of 600 tons."
"This is the Haige, with a length of 25 meters and a load of 500 tons."
Listening to the introduction, Romon took his gaze from the military dock and smiled faintly.
"I heard that the strongest one is the battleship now?"
"Yes, sir, the battleship is the strongest ship now, with a load of 2,000 tons. The Taresa Kingdom is said to have built three ships, which is a terrible cost for the Taresa Kingdom. The national treasury's annual income will not exceed 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 included the cost of future decoration.
"Sir, yes, but it is said that all hulls are strengthened with magic, making the wooden hull as hard as iron and stone, and are equipped with magic cannons. One ship will take two years to build." Shakat said with emotion. For a captain, commanding such a ship is a peak.
"We can't afford to raise such a ship, nor can we raise it." Romon said, paused, and said jokingly: "If I were an earl, I might be able to raise a battleship."
Even if it is an earl, this is a crazy idea.
"Yes, sir!" Shakat said, watching Romon.
At this time, around Romon, there were 20 cavalry wearing leather armor and holding horses, and several crossbowmen, which was a powerful force.
At this time, Romon was tall and elegant, and his every move had a kind of demeanor used to the superiors. The traces of former junior staff, college students, and small townspeople had been completely eliminated.
At the age of 25, the lord was only 25 years old, and he had already established this foundation.
Romon also watched Shakater, who was 45 years old, and began to bald, and this person was said to have been devoted to the fleet and made great achievements in establishing the Fifth Fleet.
At present, half of the fifteen warships are fought by him.
"Deputy Governor Shakat." Romon suddenly said in a deep voice.
"Are you, sir, what are your instructions?"
"I have always seen your merits. I have a 1,500-acre manor outside the city, and I am willing to give it to you. However, you are neither a level 5 or above knight, nor have you established military merits. I can only keep you as a escort, but I can promise that after this war, I will promote you to Lord." Romon said calmly.
"Yes, sir, my descendants and I will definitely be loyal to you for generations." Shakat said as he endured the excitement in his heart.
Obtaining a manor means entering the ranks of "preparatory nobles".
"Also, Deputy Governor Shakater, among these ships, please choose one as the flagship and choose a ship that can transport and fight. You are the supreme commander of this fleet. I hope you can lead him to victory and return safely." Romon said: "You must know how to choose, and I won't interfere."
"Yes, sir, I will choose seven ships." Shakat was prepared in his heart, so he left the ship one by one and left a large ship for the port.
These seven ships can sail from the ocean and are suitable for long-distance voyages, while other ships can only sail near the sea.
"By the way, all the dehydrated vegetables have been sealed. I have requested the priests of the 3 Agriculture Goddess to accompany you. They will record your achievements and will treat you at critical moments."
As he said, with a wave of his hand, a group of people appeared in the port, which were supplies for a total of 40 carriages, including food, water, wine, and concentrated vegetables.
Originally, in order to prevent scurvy, a large bucket of fruit was needed, but this took up too much space. Now, dehydrated simple cans can reduce the area by 90%, and greatly increase the amount of supplies 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 command the remaining fleet?" Romon asked, looking at the sunny sea.
“…I recommend Peck if you allow it, he is an excellent naval commander.”
"Call him over and let me watch it."
"yes!"
After a moment, a man came over. The man was about thirty years old. He had a bronze skin color blown by the sea breeze. He was wearing a beautiful naval officer uniform and looked really good.
"Lord, Lord Governor!" said Bike.
"You are Pik? Governor Shakat wants to carry out military affairs. I recommend you to me as the commander of the remaining port naval forces. What are your own wishes?"
"...Yes, Lord Lord and Governor, I think I can take charge!" Pike's eyes lit up and he saluted.
"That's good. I'll appoint you as the second deputy governor, and I'll divide the fleet with Shakater, and handle everything within three days."
"Yes, sir!"
After the man left excitedly, Romon said to Shakater.
"...Remember, this naval battle has nothing to do with us. Although merit is important, your people, and the ship, are more important to me."
"Although you are following Prince Xiusenya, I have negotiated with him. You only carry out transportation and alert tasks, and do not carry out frontal naval combat tasks. Of course, this is up to you to judge it yourself."
"Don't just turn it into a consumable, just do what you should do. Everything must be based on the interests of the Fifth Fleet and the safety of your life."
Romon said with a calm expression: "Also, what's the consumption? Remember, don't be polite, ask for it from the prince and that kingdom. If you judge it badly, you can retreat and return."
After hearing this, Shakater smiled, then quickly restrained his smile and replied with a serious expression: "I understand!"
"Yeah, just know." Romon patted Shakater on the shoulder and nodded at him: "Go!"
"Yes, sir!" Shakat gave Romon a "rest assured" smile, walked aside, and began to prepare for the three days as the deputy governor.
Romon looked at him, and with a call, the entire fleet was rectified and distributed in an orderly manner, nodded, turned around and left.
In fact, Prince Xiusenya originally wanted Romon to go with him, but Romon was not willing.
For some reason, a huge and terrifying feeling hovered on the sea, causing him to feel some kind of ominous remote sensing, and Romon did not want to go to the sea.
Then there is only the only way to entrust Shakater, who is an excellent naval commander.
Besides, the efforts of ecological fields are indeed very important. This is the capital to be reasonably promoted to level 15 or above. Otherwise, human society would have doubted Romon.
After getting on the carriage, 20 cavalrymen were carrying swords around them.
Romon was pondering.
There are seven counties in the Kingdom of Esk.
Edmi City (county) and Purang County are royal territories, especially Purang County. It is located in a fertile plain, a national grain production base, and is also rich in grapes and olives. In fact, it has long become the foundation of the royal family.
Ornar County and Elinson County are areas where the royal family has reached its influence and also occupy some land proportions.
The three counties of Parket, Rumke and Dedagg were controlled by their respective counts, but were nominally surrendered to the king and were generally in autonomy.
Once the Kingdom of Esk was established, it enfeoffed a large number of nobles and knights.
However, the entire kingdom, two great dukes, three marquis and twelve Counts, were at the highest level of the kingdom.
And below, hundreds of viscount and baron lords continued to evolve and decline.
It can be said that once you reach the Count, you will be a noble family in the kingdom and you can belong to the ranks of noble families throughout the continent.
It is actually an exception to reach the viscount by taking advantage of the devil's disaster. It is basically impossible to reach the earl.
Even if Prince Xiusenya ascended the throne, he would not be likely to promote himself from viscount to earl like this.
Unless you reach level 15 and officially break through to the realm of the Great Druid, at that time, with the cooperation of various factors, it is still possible for the count to be.
In this world, the nobles hold powerful power and strength and are the real power faction on a land.
Even a grand duke, marquis, or count would not want to rashly make a grudge with a professional at level 15 or above. If you break through level 15, it means that half of your foot has entered the legendary existence.
Once the legend reaches the world where it is difficult for the gods to come directly, the state power and even the church are basically powerless to do anything about it.
Of course, if the rules are too broken, God will come to the incarnation and erase it at any cost.
At level 15 or above, the Knight will be called the Golden Knight.
A mage will be called a great mage.
Druids will be called the Great Druids.
These are all terms with strong deterrence. Only when they reach this level can they be truly recognized by the mainland and given treatment.
"As long as I reach level 15, I can officially be awarded the title of Great Druid, so that I can have enough power to protect my territory and family." Romon thought: "Even the Radiant Church, those bullshit crimes will not be taken out to deal with me."
"If we reach a legend, as long as we are not blatantly blasphemous, the Church of Glory will not easily pose an enemy to me. Then, it will be called Bai Wuji. How many years will it take?"
"Five years, or seven years? Hey, at that time, I'm afraid that the kingdom will come to add the title without asking for it."
"Actually, as long as I get the title of Big Druid, I don't have to worry about that much of what I do. Humph, I openly send the tree spirit to dig trees in the thorn forest, so what if? Who can doubt a big druid? As long as I am not crazy, I openly burn the forest."
Last time, I went to Shennongjiao and saw that 50,000 acres of saplings had grown, about half a foot high, but they had to grow to more than three meters to form a forest. Even in this environment, it would take at least five to six years, right?
This promotion from Level 14 to Level 15 may take one and a half years to two years to accumulate.
But this is good. At that time, the first batch of druid students should have been sent for use.
