1068
"It seems that the candidate selected by His Majesty Falcon is very good, and it is really ruthless and decisive enough!"
Standing in the crowd and watching the lively Urcondo, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, these sailors who came down from the merchant ship were too ruthless,
With almost no eye-piercing effort, he shot several of Barack's men with crossbow arrows in front of all the merchants
, the corpses were lying on the dock, the weather was cold, the wind in the port was very strong, and the bright red blood flowed down the cold ground of the road,
Soon a thin sheet of blood-red ice formed like congealed grease, and everyone felt a cool air rise from their backs
"Help me...... Save ......" the terrible howl of the fat man Berak who was still struggling on the sea,
The low and muffled grunt that had gone from being as high as killing a pig to dying was almost inaudible at last, and at last there was no more.
No one dared to glance at the location of the port bully falling into the sea, because they knew that the chances of surviving in such a low temperature were too low
Everyone's faces were a little pale, although everyone was very dissatisfied with Barack's past behavior, and they had fantasized that someone would come out to punish him, but no one expected that Barack would be so miserably solved by a group of strangers in this way,
The corpse frozen in the sea will sink forever in the deep sea because it is too heavy, and Berak has used this trick to threaten those who do not listen to him before, but he did not expect that it would be his turn one day
"Captain, the city guards of the harbor are here!"
Courbert heard a low warning voice from the side of the ship overhead, it was the voice of La Bosquez, the lookout on the deck of the ship, who had participated in the battle of the three northern counties,
Kuerber's eyes swept across the harbor like lightning, and he saw a group of about ten city guards in armor running towards this side panting.
These city guards wore armor made of white iron, and most of the weapons in their hands were axes and spears that were good for stabbing and slashing, and the leader was a guard captain. The white tasseled hat on the top of the iron helmet on the head is very bright,
"Behold, the city guards are coming, and these strangers are going to be unlucky," whispered the merchants who gathered around the merchant ships. Looking at them like a plague of avoidance,
Everyone knows that the guards of the port and Berak have long been on the same foot, and if they find that Beloc has been thrown into the sea, they will definitely not let go of these outsiders, but these outsiders are not good
"There's no one we're waiting for, let's go back to the boat first. There are our people there!" Coulber pursed the corners of his mouth with disdain, for a few small city guards, he hadn't paid attention to it yet, but if more people came, it would be easy to fall into danger, so it was better to retreat to the ship first,
He waved his hand to a few veterans behind him, "Rig, your man is in charge of the left." Ankai, your men are in charge of the right," Kulber commanded in a low voice
"Don't worry, I'll never let anyone come up. If there is, then you have to step on my corpse," a veteran on the left grinned, and in response, he pulled out a short-range assault crossbow from his arms,
His fingers skillfully pulled the bowstring, and while covering Kurbert's retreat towards the side of the ship, he held a short crossbow in his hand, and aimed at the city guards who were running towards him with cold and steady eyes
At the slightest command, the battle-hardened veteran would not hesitate to pull the bronze trigger of his crossbow and shoot any enemy who tried to charge them several meters away.
"Stop! or we're welcome."
With a murderous shout. The city guards running below all stopped, and looked at the front in horror one by one.
"What the hell, what about Barack's fat pig?" the captain of the city guard was sweating, but his face was as white as paper
He looked around, but instead of seeing Belloc, several of Belloc's corpses were alerting him. Belloc may be more auspicious...,
Originally, he had only taken his subordinates to the port for a routine inspection, and he had already turned around for a morning, and he could go back to rest as long as he turned around again, but at this critical moment, one of Barack's men ran to say that he had found a pirate on the shore.
Hearing this, the captain of the city guard understood that this was Barack's usual trick, slandering those powerless merchants as pirates, and then the city guard would come forward to justifiably take the goods of these merchants as his own.
But this time, he didn't see what he expected, the fat pig-like Barack was gone, and several of his right-hand men were lying on the ground bloodied.
"Damn, why did I encounter such a thing, I knew it was such a tricky thing, and I wouldn't have come to kill me" The captain of the city guard scolded in a low voice of regret, he had also been mixed on the battlefield, but the corpse in front of him made him stunned,
The whole head of these corpses exploded, the yellow and white things all over the ground, the blood was shocking, and there were no other signs of injury on the corpses, which showed that these people were all shot through the brain to have such a situation, and being able to attack so ruthlessly is enough to show that the other party is definitely not simple,
On the side of the merchant ship opposite him, in addition to a few strangers who were looking at him with interest, on the side of the ship, there was a whole row of shining arrows, staring at them like poisonous snakes.
Although they don't know what these strangers are holding in their hands, the dense cold light in front of them is enough to make anyone feel worried and rush forward? What are you kidding, with their intuition, they know that if they don't stop, everyone will instantly turn into a hornet's nest full of arrows, and the cold killing intent revealed by these strange sailors is so named
"On behalf of Lord Willandra, I declare the arrest of you thugs, and you should be punished and ......" The captain of the city guard trembled his teeth, and he felt that what he said was too unconfident, and he stopped there with a pale expression, neither advancing nor retreating,
The dozen or so city guards who stopped behind him gasped for breath and looked ahead in horror, if it weren't for the extremely severe punishment for escaping, they might have fled a long time ago.
"Arrest? It's okay with these little rookies, hehe, what are you kidding. ?“
There was a burst of laughter from the side of the ship, and the veterans staggered with laughter, when a rumbling sound came from the street entrance of the port, and a fierce group of northern reindeer cavalry, surrounded by Austin Carlos, appeared at the street entrance
Austin Carlos parked his reindeer not far from Urcondo, and Ulcondo hurriedly lowered his head, hoping that Austin Carlos hadn't found himself.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Austin Carlos frowned slightly as he swept over the embarrassed captain of the port guard, and then looked at the commercial alliance logo fluttering on the top of the merchant ship, and then snorted coldly at the corner of his mouth, and said sharply, "Someone." Arrest this fool of the profiteer Bellak and the gangsters"
Hearing Austin Carlos's order, more than a dozen strong reindeer cavalrymen in white armor rushed up and kicked the captain of the city guard who was still stunned to the ground
"Lord Lord, it's not me, it's not ......" The captain of the city guard was pressed to the ground, and his mouth just let out a howl like killing a pig. A tall and sturdy cavalryman kicked the captain of the city team in the jawbone with his barbed riding boots, and a mouth full of blood mixed with broken teeth spurted out of the mouth of the captain of the city guard, and he could no longer say a clear word
"Kill him!" Many merchants, who had been bullied by the captain of the city guard, immediately cheered loudly beside him, and in the midst of the crowd of onlookers, the captain of the city guard of the port was no longer able to scream from the beginning to the last breath, and his body full of scars was bent like a shrimp. ...,
"What a ruthless method!"
Urcondo looked at the corpse of the captain of the city guard who had been thrown into the sea, and a trace of inexplicable love flashed in his eyes, which was obvious. Austin Carlos only changed his initial norm after discovering the emblem of the commercial alliance on the ship, and in order to get the support he needed, this generation of heroes decisively chose to abandon the captain of the city guard
Austin Carlos pretended to look distressed, waved his hand to the merchants gathered nearby, and said, "I really didn't expect that there would be such a scum in my territory, it seems that I was derelict in my duty! As compensation, I declare that for the next three months, you can come and trade here as you like, and all taxes will be halved!"
"Long live, long live the lord!"
Hearing the order of tax exemption, the gathered merchants let out a cheering sound. Although the real transaction volume of this port is not large, it is one of the safest ports in the vicinity, because the Asou Russians control the choke point sea lane, and it is the off-season for maritime trade, and if some of the tax burden can be lightened, there will be more trade here
"I hope you all have a great time here!"
Austin Carlos gave a good-natured smile to Courber, who was standing on the side of the ship, and when he turned around, he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and glanced meaningfully at where Ulcondo was.
Urcondo hurriedly lowered his head, he knew that this was the first step for Austin Carlos to show his sincerity, cutting taxes by half, for the local merchants who did not have any lucrative goods, in fact, there was not much profit,
But if it is a business alliance that transports goods from the inland, it will make a double profit, and the price of the goods in the inland will have increased several times when they reach the cold regions of the north through the sea route, and most of the huge profits will naturally flow into the pockets of the person in charge of the business alliance as long as half of the taxes are paid
When Austin Carlos disappeared into the harbor, the merchants gathered nearby also dispersed, and Coulber on the side of the ship walked down under the protection of a few veterans, and several people were very proud of the lord's cousin just now
"I really didn't expect that the lord here is very wise!" said to a few veterans behind him with a proud expression, when he saw a young man with a fur hat on his head walking towards him, and several veterans hurriedly blocked the front
"You are the captain who came this time, the squadron leader of the Naval Academy, Kurber?" Ulcondo pressed the brim of his hat and asked in a low tone, Ulcondo's body trembled slightly, he quickly pushed the veteran away, looked Ulcondo up and down sternly, and asked with some uncertainty, "Are you?"
"Didn't anyone tell you who was the one who answered you?" said Ulcondo, raising the brim of his hat and looking a little angry, "you guys are so nonsense, if it weren't for the lords here asking me, you would be in trouble!"
Kurber looked at Ulcondo in disbelief, his eyes on Ulcondo's hair, and sure enough, he saw the distinctive symbol of the description, a pair of Kugit sideburns and long buns
After the identities of both parties were confirmed, Urcondo immediately searched for a warehouse on the dock as a unloading point, and all of them were temporarily arranged to live in an old yurt in the port.
Sending away the dock clerk who had collected the money, Urcondo's sharp eyes swept over the more than 100 veterans standing in the yurt with a bit of oppression, and said with a stern expression, "I'm glad that everyone is coming to Beihai." For your safety, please refrain from moving around, especially in the city streets, as we are constantly under surveillance. ”
"The Admiralty's assessment has been completed. I want to know, when will we be able to return?" asked Courber, leaning against a long table in the yurt, with some hesitation...,
"Yes, this is an assessment" Ulcondo nodded with a stern expression, and said in a condensed voice, "From Tiha in the south to the North Sea on the mainland, the voyage time is more than 25 days, and it is possible to encounter a storm of extinction at any time. Tsunami, and murderous pirates, I'm glad you did more than expected, and you proved with your strength that you are one of the best navies in the Empire!"
"What does one mean? Is there anything better than us? If there is, then let him stand up and let us see," the veterans said excitedly, a little dissatisfied.
"Haha, good, good. Sure enough, it's a group of brave and ruthless guys!" Looking at this group of veterans who came from afar, Ulcondo's face finally showed a satisfied smile, this is what he needs most now,
The climate in the cold regions of the north is extremely poor, and in order to complete the task assigned by His Majesty the Falcon, it requires not only resourcefulness and strength, but also a brave heart that does not admit defeat. It's a group of lone wolves who never admit defeat!
"Everyone, be quiet, I have an important appointment to announce!" Urcondo waved his hand to the veterans, took out a document wrapped in waterproof leather from the sea, and showed it to everyone before saying, "This is a letter of appointment signed by His Majesty the Falcon himself, which has been filed with the Admiralty and written in the military archives. Your future and destiny are written here!"
Hearing Ulcondo's words, the veterans stopped their voices one after another, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the text in Ulcondo's hand. Suddenly, the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard in the whole big yurt room, and the heavy oppressive breath made people a little breathless
Urcondo unfolded the text in his hand, and said in a condensed voice, "I won't say too much, the main meaning here is that according to the order of His Majesty Falcon, from the day you arrive in the North Sea, your assessment will automatically end, and you will be recorded as a member of the North Sea Fleet of the Imperial Navy......"
"North Sea Fleet?" There was an uproar below, and the veterans looked at each other with strange expressions, looking like they wanted to say something
Kurber finally couldn't help but stand up and said sharply, "Lord Ulcondo, you are not deceiving us, although many people here are from the army, but after studying at the Naval Academy for a period of time, we also have some understanding of the establishment of the Imperial Navy, after 3 years of development, after several cruel sea battles, the Imperial Navy has made a very important contribution to the war of the Empire,
Now the establishment of the Imperial Navy is mainly composed of the native guard fleet cruising in the southern seas of Urde, the privateer fleet mainly responsible for operations in the open sea, and the assault ship group that has been stationed on Salander Island.
"The North Sea Fleet has just been established! It's normal for you not to know," Ulcondo said with a blushing face and a heartbeat, "In fact, you are the first batch of personnel of the North Sea Fleet, and the time of its establishment is the moment you walk into the yurt."
"Your Excellency, you ...... How can this be!" Kulber's mouth was wide open in annoyance, and the veterans below were also stunned, Ulcondo had long expected such a situation, so he was naturally prepared, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said in an excited tone. You have crossed the risky sea area to come to the North Sea, you should not only hope to complete the assessment of the Admiralty, the North Sea Fleet is personally appointed by His Majesty Falcon, you will be a sharp blade that His Majesty will fall on the North Sea, expand the territory of the empire, and create our own magnificent achievements here for the glory in our hearts!"
"But we have nothing but that merchant ship?since we are a fleet, we must have powerful warships, suitable ports, and all kinds of supporting facilities, otherwise it will be a big joke!" Courber was a little unwilling, but after hearing the order given by His Majesty the Falcon himself, he hesitated to express his worries
"The port is already there, and I have obtained an independent island from the hands of the local lord as a port," Urcondo said with confidence on his face of excitement "As for the issue of warships, His Majesty has promised that the 2 Dragon-class and 4 Dragon-Tooth ships that will be launched in July this year will be assigned to us first, and with them 2,000 excellent sailors and 100 excellent craftsmen."
"You will be attached to the fleet as the first officers of the North Sea Fleet, so before the fleet arrives, I hope that you will take the time to understand the battlefield you are about to gallop on in the future—the North Sea" (to be continued.
