Chapter 757: Defeat (Part 1)
Tetazhao has been on the lead, and good things have been happening recently.
First, Romon was promoted to the sixteenth level druid, and then the king's will to be the king's order to be named Count.
After half a month of busyness, the territory had just become quiet.
There was something happening to the mage tower set up at Yuanfan Port.
"Have you encountered any special situation today?" Derbiru, wearing a wizard robe, walked up from the steps below, walked into the *** room on the top of the tower, and asked.
Five silver threads shine on the robe, representing the status of a level five wizard.
There are five mages working in the ***Museum. They are responsible for checking the situation at sea, collecting various information, and screening and checking this information.
They are very busy with work, but they have no complaints. On the one hand, they are treated generously, and on the other hand, they can use the Mage Tower to learn magic. This is the treatment of a few people.
With the mage tower, these low-level mages have improved rapidly over the past year.
The layout of the *** workshop is quite in line with Romon's always aesthetic. In addition to the necessary equipment, there are several green plants placed in the corners, adding a few beautiful green to this clean and tidy environment.
"Sir Derbyru, I didn't find any special circumstances." The mage who was responsible for checking the situation at sea turned around and said to Derbyru.
Derbyru nodded: "During this time, we must pay close attention to the situation at sea. The Third Fleet is fighting against the pirates. Whether it is a victory or a loss, there will be situations at sea. You must observe carefully."
"Sir Debiru, don't worry. In the past few days, we have divided into three shifts to observe the situation at sea. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, we are all observing for a moment. Once there is a situation, we will definitely not escape our eyes." The mage who was responsible for checking the situation at sea said respectfully.
Derbiru walked to another person and found that he was making some records. Some of the data on it were very detailed. Derbiru nodded with satisfaction, talked to several mages for another time, and then walked out.
Walking down from the highest level of the Mage Tower, we all the way to the first level, which is a restaurant for processing food, divided into three levels, and Derbyru went directly to the place of the highest level.
"Sir Derbyru, are you here to have a meal?" A chubby chef greeted Derbyru with a smile.
Although this chef looks chubby and looks harmless, in fact, he is also a third-level warrior. He can only come here to work after selection.
Although he is just an ordinary chef, no one in the territory knows that those who can get a position in the Mage Tower are trusted by the big names?
Such people have a great chance of a high rise in the future.
Debiru smiled and replied: "I'm here to eat. What kind of delicious food are there today? Let me give you one. First, I'll eat it here, and then prepare five servings. I'll take it away later."
"Okay, please wait, I'll prepare the meal right away." The fat chef smiled and expressed his understanding.
Derbyru nodded, walked to a table in the dining area, pulled a chair open and sat down and waited.
There was a faint fragrance in the air, which could be vaguely distinguished in the aroma, which was a plant smell. However, after a while, this taste became the fragrance of the meal.
The dining area was also designed by Romon himself, similar to some restaurants he had visited in his previous life. In this place, the tables are half-separated by plants, which will not give people a completely isolated from the world, nor will it make people feel that they have no privacy.
The floor is a smooth but not slippery floor. Walking on it will not cause you to fall because of grease stains.
In fact, in this small restaurant, oil stains are definitely not seen on the ground. The environment here has really reached the point where it is spotless.
Derbyru only waited for a while, and the fat chef's food was brought out by the fat chef himself and placed it in a clean tray, a plate of cooked meat, a plate of vegetable salad, a bowl of broth, a small plate of snacks, a pot of milk tea, and a small cup.
For the Mage Tower, expensive tea bricks are always available.
Put the things in front of Derbyru one by one, and the fat chef said, "Please use them slowly, I will pack those five servings for you when you leave."
"Yeah, that's OK." Derbyru nodded.
胖大厨随后退了下去,德比鲁自己一个人,在这里用完了这一份,等他离开的时候,胖大厨果然拿来一个提盒,交给了德比鲁.
"Sir Derbyru, do I need someone to help you get it back?" the fat chef asked.
Derbiru is the leader of the Mage Tower. As a subordinate, he naturally serves him carefully.
"No, I can mention it alone." Debiru smiled and refused.
The key reason is that the second level is above, and non-magic masters are not allowed to enter. Debiru, like his grandfather, Scholar Lulun, is both elegant, but he is very principled in dealing with people and things.
Saying goodbye to the fat chef, Derbyru carried the food box and walked step by step into the mage's room in the mage tower.
In the past few days, because the entire mage tower staff have focused on the sea situation and cannot tolerate any negligence, Derbyru, a person who is a little bit arrogant in the team, has taken care of all the daily expenses of his subordinates in the recent period and prevented them from being distracted from doing other things.
In fact, Derbyru is not very optimistic about this naval battle.
The first is that the situation of pirates is more serious than before. In the past, there were several pirates, but now there are dozens of pirates. And when they are united, they are not on the same level at all.
Second, although there was an additional fleet in the team that wiped out the pirates this time, the second prince and the eldest prince have always been disagreeable, and he had long seen a little bit of a sudden appearance, especially the eldest prince Hailancha, who is arrogant and proud. He is not as good as Prince Xiusenya in terms of wisdom. He likes to stick to his ideas on many things, which has led to some hidden dangers.
In this case, Prince Helancha insisted on eliminating the pirates, and when Debiru heard the news, he could only be speechless.
In fact, the range of the Mage Tower is only fifty miles away, and the area of ​​naval battles is far away from the area. However, in order to prevent problems, the nearshore is also wary.
Shaking his head, Derbyru stopped thinking about this, and walked outside the door of the *** room with the food box.
I opened the door, but found that the atmosphere inside was not right. Everyone looked like they discovered things and were observing nervously.
On the big screen, there are condensed pictures from nearby seas. However, a mage is expanding the scene in a certain corner one by one, and it seems that he has discovered something.
"What's wrong?" Derbyru asked with the food box aside.
"Sir Derbyru, you are here just in time. Look here!" said the mage who was observing a corner of the scene.
After hearing this, Derbyru hurriedly walked over and looked at it.
I saw that there were more than a dozen light spots coming from outside the detection area toward the area, at a very fast speed.
"Detail their information." Debiru's face turned solemn.
"It's getting detailed, look!" While defining the information, the pastor looked at it, and suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise.
Derbyru and several other mages looked over and saw that the gradually expanding screen could blur the appearance of more than a dozen warships.
"Continue to go into detail." Debiru said in an orderly manner.
"yes!"
"Sir, look, there is a boat chasing them behind!" the mage exclaimed again.
Sure enough, I saw more than a dozen warships chasing behind a distance, and judging from the situation in front and behind, it is very likely that those behind are pursuers!
Derbylu immediately joined the ranks of the *** magic circle. With his slender fingers, he made several commands on a *** magic circle.
Then, a powerful force on the top of the mage tower outside, spinning out quickly from the center point to the periphery like a hurricane.
"You can see clearly. The third fleet led by Prince Hailancha!" At this time, someone recognized the flags of the warships in front.
And the pursuit ships behind, there is no need to ask, they are naturally pirates.
Judging from the ship type, it is definitely not the type of the third fleet.
"If you have trouble, immediately notify Lord Lord and Governor Shakat." Debiru said this and then fell silent.
"Yes, sir!"
The Mage Tower and the Lord's Villa had a special magical connection, and immediately sent a message.
After a moment, the messenger immediately conveyed the order to Governor Shakat.
Fifteen minutes later, Governor Shakat immediately issued an order to let the navy leave the port.
Seeing this situation, the pursuing pirates stopped attacking and slowly retreated.
Then, the remaining third fleet entered the port for renovation.
Peter, the king of the Kingdom of Esk, suddenly received a big gift fifteen days before his sixty-fifth birthday. The gift was given by none other than Helancha, the eldest son, who had just been appointed as the commander of the Third Fleet.
"What did you say? The Third Fleet was defeated? Only twelve warships escaped?" When he heard the news, the once wise and powerful king was having a meal. When he heard this, he didn't even know that the fork in his hand fell on the table.
"Your Majesty, the news from the sea is indeed like this..." The official responsible for spreading the news regretted it very much.
No one who comes to report such news will get a good look. If other colleagues hadn't run away earlier, he wouldn't have come to see the king lose his temper!
Bang! The king slapped the table with a slap, swept all the dishes and bowls in front of him to the ground, and turned into pieces all over the ground.
This situation made the official lower his head even more and he didn't dare to look at the king's gloomy face.
"What a good son, what a good son, forty warships, they only brought me twelve... Humph!"
The king was obviously very angry, so he simply stopped eating. He stood up and walked around the hall. Everyone serving in the hall tried hard to maintain the habit of plants, and he didn't dare to produce any of them.
At this time, whoever provokes the king will be unlucky.
There was only one eunuch official who commanded the servants and carefully packed out the messy mess.
"Summon Count Ferkam to me."
"Yes, your Majesty."
Twenty minutes later, Count Ferkam appeared before the king.
At this time, the king had basically calmed down and sat on the throne, with no one around him, with a expressionless face. When he saw Earl Ferkam, he said, "Earl Ferkam, do you already know the news?"
"I understand." I spent some time on the road just now, I knew the inside story clearly and had an idea.
"What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, your first priority now is to fight back immediately and take back the lost prestige and ships." Earl Fekham said.
In this era, since there were no cannons, the naval battles were generally against each other and soldiers fought each other, so the ships generally did not sink.
The twenty-eight warships are now in the hands of pirates. If they are not recaptured quickly, giving pirates time to form combat power, this will be a big deal.
"This is right. Do you have nothing to say to me?" said the king.
This made Earl Ferkam smile bitterly, ponder for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to look at this matter, it's one-sided!"
"The encirclement and suppression of pirates took place for a month and a half and won many victories. His Highness Xiusenya proposed to fight continuously. The soldiers were tired and had a reason to go back to repair them. There was nothing to be picky about."
"The most important thing is that when His Highness Xiusenya retreated, he wrote to His Highness Hailancha, asking him to retreat and repair together. I have read the letter, which is very earnest and well-analyzed. It is straightforward to indicate that the soldiers fought for a long time and were very tired. At this time, the decisive battle with the pirates was very unfavorable."
"If this letter is not available, His Highness Hailancha insists on fighting, and he can still think that the military strategists are always successful. However, with this letter, I am bluntly speaking, His Highness Hailancha, no matter what, cannot escape his stubbornness and will do his own thing, which leads to the defeat of the Third Fleet."
"Your Majesty, the Third Fleet is an old royal fleet. Many officers in it are the children of nobles. This time, there are many casualties. At least thirty nobles in the royal capital are going to hold funerals."
"No matter whether His Highness Xiusenya is intentional or not, no matter what his plan is, at this time, you will have to use him a lot. He must not win back the strength and prestige of the royal family."
"In such a situation, I am forbidden to say that, your Majesty, the matter is irreversible." As he said that, Earl Fekham knelt down: "I beg your Majesty to make a quick decision."
Under this national system, the thirty nobles have already formed a terrible force to lose their outstanding sons.
Finally, after walking for a while, the king had a gloomy face and finally made up his mind. His eyes swept coldly to the person kneeling below: "Okay, you go down first, I already know about this, and there will be an order soon."
Chapter completed!
