Chapter 62: The Returning Fleet

"Dock! Get off anchor! "On the afternoon of June 24th, the lively Port Royal in London ushered in a huge fleet, this fleet has a total of 5 Hawker-class warships, and there are 3 warships of the Galie-class, in addition, the rest of the medium-sized merchant ships have no less than 10 ships, the most curious thing for the residents of London is that in addition to the 4 warships and 3 trading merchant ships with the 3 lion flags of the empire on which the sun never sets, the rest of the warships and merchant ships are planted with flags with various strange patterns, For example, there is a pattern of a hammer on a ship, and a flag is like the head of a horse, and of course there are the most numerous. The most striking is a flag painted with purple roses, and the number of merchant ships carrying this flag has reached 6 searches.

Under the command of the person in charge of the port area, except for the 4 warships belonging to Sun Lin who did not enter the port, all the other ships docked in the port area one after another, and the empty port instantly became lively, of course, most of the people involved in the excitement were human beings who got off the ship, as well as 3 teams of crossbowmen and 4 teams of newly recruited heavy sergeants sent by Sun Lin to maintain law and order. (The war value earned after the second Nottingham City Defense Battle was enough for Sun Lin to advance the 3 teams of civilian crossbowmen in his hands to crossbowmen, and the remaining war value allowed Sun Lin to let go of his trouser pockets and recruit 4 spear militiamen, and then convert all of them into heavy sergeants, of course, thanks to the orcs, you must know that the war value obtained by killing an orc is 8 times that of killing a half-orc!) Of course, the only regret is that since the church in the city of London was not completed, Sun Lin could not obtain the technology to open the Papal States, so there was no way to convert crossbowmen and hoplites into giant shield crossbowmen and papal guards). As for the inhabitants of the city of London, they did not come to watch, for them the merchants of the Sea Clan have seen it, so what is there to see about these merchants of the same clan? Even if they came from the empire across the sea, I think last month Lao Tzu personally went to the orc tribe to sell pit people, ............ Pit beasts! So while Port Royal is very lively today, much of its sound comes from the sounds made by the crew and sailors as they carry their cargo.

Although there are many ships coming, but for the huge construction of Port Royal, this small ship is nothing, if it can, with the current size of Port Royal, this prosperous port can still welcome at least more than 60 trading ships, and thanks to the construction of the city construction column trading warehouse, all the warehouses in Port Royal have now handled the volume of goods in the thousand-ton range.

"Captain Blackbeard, I think that with the results you have made this time, I am afraid that Sun Linmian will directly grant you the position of a fourth-class fleet captain, and at that time, the 4 warships in the port area and the 6 warships in Crescent Harbor will be planned in your name, if that is the case, you must ask to drink the best wine in London, which is specially provided to Sun Lin's crown!" Accompanied by the four generals and guards, Leo, dressed in armor, stood under the stone carving in the central square of the port area, and said to a middle-aged man next to him who was wearing a decent woolen sweater and a three-cornered hat, and left with a large beard, although his tone was not very friendly, but compared to Bobby, there was a little more recognition.

"Hehehe............. Captain Leo Guard, you have been laughed at, you must know that when I was a small captain, you had already become a member of the general guard, and there was a tendency to become the deputy captain of the general guard under Sun Lin, and now you have become the captain of the guard, and I can only become a fourth-class captain of the fleet, compared to you, I am afraid I can't compare to you in my life." A hearty laugh emanated from the mouth of the captain, nicknamed Blackbeard, with the heroic and fearless temperament of a sailor, which was revealed in the middle-aged captain.

"But I was able to get this position because of Richard..............."

"Hey! Today is a good day, don't say such unmotivated words, I have just heard about Captain Richard's guard, and it is indeed a pity, you must know that when the town of London was just built, he also ate seafood on my small boat at that time! But since people are already dead, let's just let this matter pass, instead of living the sad past, it's better to think about how to meet the future, in my opinion, you and Sun Linmian are still young, and the strongest force I have been in contact with on the continent across the sea is not stronger than us, you and Sun Linmian are not like me, a person who has gone through half of his life, this day and earth can make the sun never set the empire but conquer, so let's look forward to the future. ”

“…… Well, you're right, maybe I should really let go of this baggage............"

"That's right, let's go! Although I haven't become a fleet captain yet, I'm in a good mood today, Captain Leo, you can come with me to the Mermaid's Tears Bar in the harbor for a drink. ”

"Huh? Right now? But Sun Lin Mian told me to go and meet the envoy of the Duke of Purple Rose that you said that I haven't done it yet? Drinking will make a mistake, I think it's better to forget it now, or I'll invite you another day? ”

"Oh, what purple roses, red tomatoes, yellow corn, do they have our Sun Lin's crown? I don't think it's that we want to get the benefits from them, but they cry and beg us to take the benefits, I have stayed in 7 or 8 coastal cities across the sea, but none of them are comparable to our London City, no, I think it would be an insult to the City of London if we compare it with the cities of London, so let's go! You don't have to worry about those dirt buns, they will take care of it themselves............"

"Really? That............... Shall we go for a drink? But tell me beforehand, it's just one drink, and if you let me drink a second drink, I'll just leave! When the time comes, don't blame me for not giving you face! ”

"Rest assured! Just a glass, just a glass of rum, that's okay, right? Of course, I can't guarantee that the rest of the crew won't want you to keep drinking, and I can't guarantee that they'll fill you with a glass of wine or a barrel of wine. Of course, the last sentence of this Blackbeard will not be spoken, according to his meaning, the words of salvaging his friend "Yaxing" will never be spoken.

"Alright then, then I'll go see the Fish Tears."

"Haha............ha Don't worry, it's definitely to your taste..............."
