Chapter 921: The Old City's New Look

Formerly a coastal town of the Tesser, an outpost against the Nlanthel pirates, and an extremely important fishing dock, Wiren has been besieged by the enemy many times in history, but has never fallen, so it has also earned the title of a fortified city, and at its peak the number of inhabitants in the city was close to 20,000, which is very popular with sea adventurers.

Plenty of food and a relaxed and happy life used to be the pride of the place, but it was completely ruined a few months ago by the army of dark elves that poured out of the ground......

Perhaps for most surface creatures, the tall walls are a difficult barrier to cross, but in the eyes of the dark elves who thrive in magic and magic, this thing is no different from a veil, and it is easy to slip in and open the gates, and a terrible massacre ensues, except for a few who were captured as slaves, and none of them escaped.

From the elderly to the infants, not even the livestock, poultry and dogs, like locusts crossing the border, leaving only dead bodies everywhere, a large number of ships that did not have time to escape were abandoned on the docks, and many wooden houses were completely burned, and a good city was completely turned into ghosts, and even the cries of the dead could be heard at night.

A few months ago, Antleb led the rebellious Dark Elves, human soldiers, and underground gnomes to clean up the entire city, transporting the corpses outside the city for burial, and cleaning up the burned houses, and then left the human soldiers in their place, and returned to the underground to find a location near the underground river, and began to build the underground city.

It didn't take long for Su Li to follow Henry's order, and with a part of the Nerantel pirates, he came to Wilen with his family, took over the control of the city, and made it a strong fortress again, hoisting the flag of the Kingdom of West Hartland, and half of the pirates under his command also turned into the kingdom's navy.

The arrival of the pirates brought some life to the city. The population also recovered to about 6,000 people, and there were between 3,500 and 4,000 people who could fight directly, especially those fierce pirates, who often changed their pirate flags. As soon as he was sure that he could take advantage of his geographical advantage to plunder the merchant ships belonging to Am, and then make a large profit by selling the stolen goods and captured ships, the city's commerce flourished in a very short time.

Of course, this boom is only superficial. In a way, Willen is now less like a city and more like a pirate port, and even the forests of Vildas often come to buy some supplies, and although they look down on the rude pirates very much, they are still very satisfied with the goods.

Due to the towers that docked airships in the city, it was easy to travel to and from Sodenisra, and airships from Baldur's Gate and Bluvent City went straight to here, followed by elven mages who led them through the magic locks and transported to their designated warehouses. It used to be dozens of times more convenient, and the goods of the elven kingdom were also continuously shipped out and sent to various cities for auction.

With the agreement signed between Henry and the elven queen Alistar, Su Li managed everything properly with little effort, giving full play to the advantages of the trade transfer station, and successfully attracting a large number of merchants, as well as some civilians from Am.

Unbeknownst to them, the pirates who robbed merchant ships were from here, and some even believed that the Kingdom of West Hartland intended to occupy and develop the peninsula. So I wanted to see if there was a chance to make a fortune.

After all, everyone knows that the goods produced in the elven kingdom are not sold at all, but this kind of business is not something you want to do, and the elves are a very arrogant race. Until you gain their respect and recognition, no matter how high your social status and how much money you have in human society, it will be useless, and people will not sell it to you at all.

In the past, the elves of the Veldas Forest had little contact with the outside world, and only made some deals with some familiar chambers of commerce when they needed living supplies, and the goods provided were usually pitiful.

But now it's different!

Fools can see that Sodenisra has close ties with the kingdom of West Hartland. Coupled with the fact that the story of Hengli's army saving the elven kingdom was being sung by the bards, the merchants instantly understood that the relationship between the two would not be shaken for hundreds of years, so they wanted a piece of the pie.

They don't have much appetite and just want to get some ordinary elven goods, after all, the elves have begun to appear frequently in Willen, which also means that it won't be long before elves settle here, and as long as they have a good relationship, they will definitely get some share.

Anyway, the Kingdom of West Hartland has a monopoly on high-end goods, and disdains ordinary goods that are not particularly profitable.

Looking at the city outside the window and getting a little more angry, Su Li's face showed unprecedented satisfaction.

As a man who used to run beast fights and gamble at the Bronze Crown Inn, he never imagined that he would one day be even more outrageous than the protagonist of the Bard's story.

You must know that half a year ago, he was still a small person in the slums of Askatra, in just a few months, he first lost all his possessions because of a gamble, and was forced to become a slave, and then went to sea to kill the pirate king Decharik, took over tens of thousands of Nerantel pirates, and finally became the governor of the Kingdom of West Hartland stationed in Willen.

To sum it up in one sentence, it was the ups and downs of life that came too quickly and too suddenly, and if he didn't have a big heart, I am afraid that he would have died from excessive fright.

After all, Su Li is not a strong professional, nor is he a knowledgeable and intelligent learner, he is just a villain who has been at the bottom of the society for many years, and his personality is relatively smooth, and he just wants to live a peaceful life.

But who would have thought that fate would play a big joke, he is now not only a governor, but also has more than 2,000 troops and countless pirates in control, and can even inflict a devastating blow on Amm at the slightest order.

Ever since Nahiss sent the Aaskatra merchant ships out of the route, all the pirates had gone crazy, and according to Ben's intelligence, they had been able to make a profit in almost every sortie, especially a colonial galleon laden with gold, silver, and precious stones, which instantly ignited their enthusiasm, and although their own losses were also very heavy, the gains were not worth mentioning at all.

In order to keep the secret, Su Li had to send the pirates, who had become rich overnight, back to their secret base in the Nrainsel Islands, and at the same time hide the goods for fear of being known.

Because he now has an official status, he knows that there are some things that can be done in private, but they must not be caught, otherwise it is easy to cause wars between countries.

In addition, what he is most worried about now is the increasing unfriendliness of the second largest port city in Am, not far from the city, maybe the local ruler discovered the secret of piracy, or it may be the relationship of commercial competition, in short, it happened when the guns went wrong, fortunately the two sides maintained restraint, but they only confronted each other at sea, and the ground army did not show any signs of movement.

The reason for Mu Lan's restraint was that he was afraid of the strength of the West Hartland Kingdom, as well as the attitude of the Elven Kingdom, although their strength was far stronger than that of Wei Lun, but they did not dare to move the real thing, but only showed their strength to intimidate.

There are two points in Wei Ren's restraint, on the one hand, Su Li did not get permission to start a war, and on the other hand, his strength on the surface is indeed not Mu Lan, although there is still a coalition of dark elves and underground gnomes to build a new city in the dark region not far away, but he cannot command the other party at all.

To sum up, the two cities can be regarded as a typical two-headed fear of a wolf with a hemp pole, unless a city completely falls, otherwise it will be endless at all.

While Su Li was considering whether to write a letter to Baldur's Gate to ask for his opinion, the door of the Governor's Palace office was suddenly pushed open, and the guard walked in with a delicate badge and bowed, "My lord, a ship full of slaves has come to the port, and the owner of the ship asked me to hand this over to you, saying that you will understand after reading it." ”

"Oh? Show it to me. With that, Su Li stood up and took the badge.

As the saying goes, I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm startled when I see it. He immediately became nervous after just one look, and subconsciously touched the imprint on his forehead with his hand.

"My lord, what should I do with this ship? In my experience, the slaves were all vicious-looking, with tanned faces and arms, and must have been pirates from the South. The guard cautiously explained.

"Release! No, I'll do it myself. ”

Su Li will never forget the moment when he was branded, and at the same time, he also knew that this was Henry's personal badge, which he had always carried with him, and since the badge appeared, he must have stepped on the land of Willen.

As a villain who is proficient in flattery, he knows that this is definitely the best time to show his loyalty, so he does not hesitate to board the carriage and run wildly in the direction of the docks.

If he hadn't been a little unsure if Henry wanted to keep a low profile, he would have turned the whole city upside down, held a grand welcome ceremony, and then offered a dozen beauties, and maybe a noble title or something.

Sitting in the spacious carriage, Su Li clutched the badge that shimmered with a faint halo of magic, and asked in a low voice, "Can you describe what the owner of the ship looks like?" ”

"Of course, the owner of the ship was a handsome boy who looked fourteen or fifteen years old, but he always wore a hood, so he could not see his face clearly, and the ship was a little strange, there were few sailors on the ship, and the slaves showed no sign of rebellion, and it was evident that they seemed to be afraid of something."

The guards did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly told the scene they had seen, 1510. As a man who had escaped death from the Dark Elf City, he thought this incident was full of weirdness, so he hurriedly came to report it.

"Fourteen or Fourteen Years Old ?!!" Sulema frowned when he heard the news.

The last time he saw Henry was on the island of Brinro, so his impression was still in his twenties, and he was instantly confused, and he began to be a little unsure of who it was...... (To be continued.) )xh118
