Chapter 25: Bartlet's Purpose
"Then I'll thank the Duke."
Da Liang accepted the gift list, which meant that today's matter was half successful, Bartlett secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The things on the list, we will entrust the Nanhui fleet to send them to Feichen Island." In addition, I would like to ask, what do you think about the situation in Shangjiang in the future? ”
Here comes the hard dish.
Da Liang pretended to think for a while and said: "I'm just a small lord, this kind of big thing is considered by Your Majesty, Dukes, and Marquises, so I can honestly guard my Flying Dust Island and complete the work assigned to me by Admiral Joyce." ”
Seeing that Da Liang refused to say what was in his heart, Bartlett directly provoked and said: "Now that the Duke is in the south, His Majesty is in the middle, and the Marquis of Joshua is in the north, everyone is afraid of each other, and Shangjiang City can remain safe and sound." However, His Majesty's body will not last long, and after his death, the city will usher in a new battle, and Prince William, Lord Duke, and Marquis Joshua, all three of them may become the masters of this city. The Viscount has a bad relationship with Prince William and the Marquis of Joshua, and the Lord Duke has great admiration for the Viscount, and you have a life-saving grace for the Lord Duke, if you ......"
Da Liang stopped Bartlet's last words.
Got it.
Howard is going to let Brother take refuge in the past, but before you take out this list, Brother may still think about it. But when my brother knows that you are really poor and only have stones left, will my brother still move closer to the place where your birds don't?
"Bartlet, you're talking about me as if I'm going to be doomed at any time if I don't go to the Duke. I am Admiral Joyce's person, Joyce is the future queen, according to Prince William's character, in the hands of the Admiral in the future military and political power of Shangjiang City, my position will only be more stable. As for the Marquis of Joshua, I can tell you that my relationship with the elves is far better than you think. Joshua also had no ability to cross the river to attack, his territory was too small to raise too many troops, and if he wanted to maintain his dragon numbers, he would have to cut off a large number of regular troops. ”
Bartlett said: "If Joshua has no intention of going to Jiangcheng, then the future master of Shangjiang will be produced between the Duke and Prince William, and the Duke has unparalleled prestige in the army of Shangjiang City, and he is likely to become the new king of the East China Sea." I think the Viscount will be able to consider the relationship between the Duke and us before he becomes king as soon as possible. At least in the realm of friendship. ”
Da Liang considered the possibility of what Bartlett said.
If Shangjiang City can quickly concentrate military and political power in the hands of Joyce after the death of the King of the East China Sea, in the face of Shangjiang City, which has an absolute advantage in both financial and military strength, Archduke Howard's personal strength will not have any chance of winning no matter how strong he is.
But if Prince William is really arrogant and domineering to suppress Joyce, the army in Shangjiang City is likely to be in chaos, and maybe there will be a large number of Howard's old troops against him.
Then the relationship with Duke Howard really has to be considered.
So Da Liang smiled and said: "We used to fight side by side in Songjiang, and we already had a very strong friendship. In the future, whatever the Duke needs me to do, as long as it does not harm the interests of the Pudong fleet and me, I will do my best to serve the Duke. ”
With Da Liang's promise, Bartlet's goal of coming to Flying Dust Island this time was even achieved, and he continued: "Fengxian City has now dissolved its alliance with the elves, so Chongming City's food support has also been cut off. Those orcs have very big appetites, and if they want to maintain the stability of Fengxian City, they need to get food as soon as possible.
Fengxian City, the orcs are not suitable for business, nor for farming, only war can solve their overpopulation problem, whether it is external or internal tribal fighting, sometimes war is to consume the population.
But we found that beneath the land of the orcs there is a wide variety of high-quality minerals that are very prolific. Now the cave people sent by Matsue Castle have helped us dig out many mines, and how to turn these minerals into food is the most important thing. ”
Da Liang asked suspiciously, "Does this have anything to do with me?" There's no way my territory can buy that many mines. ”
"The matter of mineral sales is not bothered by Lord Viscount, and the fleet of Nanhui City can transport our ore out. However, on the route to the north, there has recently been a group of pirates, and our cargo ships bound for the Korean Peninsula and the northern part of the mainland have been raided by them, and these two trade routes are important ore sales places that we have good contacts with.
That's why we'd like to ask the Viscount to help rid you of all these hateful pirates. ”
This should be a pit, and Da Liang didn't jump down in a hurry.
He asked, "As one of the four major fleets in the Shangjiang region, the Nanhui fleet can't even pack up the little pirates, right?" If you are not sure that you can win against them, my fleet will not be able to win. ”
Bartlett said, "It's true, this pirate is actually the fleet of Jeju City. Because a caravan in Jeju City was slaughtered in the Sanggang Sea, they took the opportunity to invade the northern part of our Sanggang River. The commander of this fleet is Viscount Bob, who is famous in the Jeju fleet, and his fleet has two black dragons and four red dragons, the dragon flame of the black dragon and the red dragon is not a magic flame, they can easily set the wooden ship on fire.
The Nanhui fleet does not have the ability to deal with two black dragons and four red dragons at the same time, and you, Viscount Daliang, you killed Joshua an archangel and two golden dragons on this island. ”
The Red Dragon is a level 13 class in the dungeon, and the Black Dragon is a promoted class of the Red Dragon, which belongs to level 14.
The dragon flame of the black dragon and the red dragon is simply the nemesis of the wooden sailboat, and before these two dragons can be restrained, the fleet that rashly attacks the dungeon is simply sending the fish to the cutting board.
The only top-level troops in Da Liang's hands are Julian and Astro, plus a Juliet that can be used for an hour.
If you command them properly, you may be able to defeat them, but if you make a mistake, you will definitely suffer irreparable losses.
Da Liang didn't easily agree to Bartlet, he asked, "What is the size of Viscount Bob's fleet?" ”
"There are 10 brigs, 4 trimas, and the flagship is a fifth-class air-space battleship. ”
kao!
Da Liang scolded in his heart.
Dealing with the two-headed black dragon and the four-headed red dragon under the command of a powerful hero, Da Liang felt more difficult, and now the fleet sent by Jeju City to Shangjiang far exceeded the Black Fire Fleet in terms of scale and firepower, and there was also an aerial fire platform, and the Black Fire Fleet could not take such a big risk to curry favor with Howard.
"I'm really sorry, my fleet is no match for Viscount Bob's fleet."
