Chapter 758: Defeat (Part 2)

Yuanfan Port. Lord's Villa

A group of people sat together, silent. After a while, Romon spoke, "What do you think are the reasons for the failure of the Third Fleet this time?"

Sitting beside Romon were Fafer, Nik, Hevavi, Sukar, Shakater and Debiru did not attend the meeting because he was on duty at the Mage Tower.

It has been a week since the Third Fleet's defeat. The eldest prince Hailancha was ordered by the king to return to the capital. I guess the outcome will not be too comfortable.

At that time, Romon and others still clearly remembered that when Prince Helancha, who was once proud, had a look of earth when he returned.

The third fleet he once led was only one-third left, and the other two-thirds of the warships were either sunk by pirates or became the opponent's spoils. As soon as Romon learned of this situation, Romon had a headache.

He didn't think that Prince Helancha could take advantage of the decisive battle with the pirates, but he was shocked by the defeat so miserably.

These are forty well-equipped warships, each of which is worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and they are all the royal family's assets. They were actually ruined by the eldest prince, and the old ace fleet of the Third Fleet was almost wiped out in an instant. I really don't admire His Highness Hailancha.

"At least, Prince Helanca will bear more than half of the responsibility." Nick said lightly: "The fatigue of the soldiers is a factor, and in command, another factor."

"I agree with Nick. The battle with the pirates failed this time, and the Third Fleet failed so miserably. It would be impossible to say that it would be impossible without Prince Helancha's responsibility." Fafer agreed.

Romon sighed, "In fact, not only is there a problem of improper command of the Third Fleet, but these pirates should not be underestimated. It seems that the support of the elves inside is still quite influential."

"What should we do now?" As the deputy commander of the Fifth Fleet, Shakater paid more attention to naval battles than he did.

No matter what the situation at sea turns, the Fifth Fleet cannot sit idly by. Shakater is very concerned about what to do next.

"Wait first." Romon thought for a while and said.

"wait?"

"Yes, wait." Romon stood up and walked back and forth in the conference hall.

"We expelled the pirates last time and did not let them take advantage. They had a big battle with the Third Fleet before. Although they won, the losses would be great. In a short period of time, they would not easily attack again."

"Besides, this matter has nothing to do with us. We now need to wait for news from the capital. The eldest prince Hailancha caused a lot of trouble this time, causing the Third Fleet to suffer heavy losses. The king will definitely not let him lead the Third Fleet again. The situation of pirates is so rampant that it is unlikely to transfer all the Third Fleet back."

"The biggest possibility is to change a new commander to lead the remaining third fleet, unite our two fleets, and wipe out the pirates again. Before the capital's order comes down, we just need to wait."

"Sir, do you think it is more likely that who will be appointed as the latest commander? Judging from the current situation of the Third Fleet, who will His Majesty the King send to this position?" Shakater is more concerned about this issue.

In his opinion, anyone can come, as long as you don’t send someone like Prince Hailancha who has a high status and cannot be down-to-earth.

Romon shook his head and said, "What did your Majesty think? How could we know, but..."

"Maybe, it would be Prince Xiusenya, and it is also very likely." Romon said in the direction of the port.

Everyone here thought about it. This matter is actually very important for the future pirate eradication.

"What decision will your father make?" On Lantu Island, Prince Xiusenya stood at the window and looked outside, feeling a little dazed.

"Maybe, will..." He thought of a possibility, held his hand tightly, and slowly relaxed. "I hope that the father can know who is the most suitable person to command the navy through this matter..."

"Your Highness!"

Just as he was thinking, suddenly an eunuch came in and saluted.

"What's the matter?" Prince Xiusenya turned around, looked at the eunuch, and asked.

"Your Highness, an envoy has arrived from the capital and has now arrived at the port of Lantu Island! Lord Putson asked me to send a letter to Your Highness, and he has already rushed to the port to arrange it." The eunuch said.

"The envoy of the royal capital? So fast?" Prince Xiusenya immediately strode outward, took a few steps, and stopped again.

"Did Putson mention what's going on?" Prince Xiusenya asked.

"Your Highness, I didn't dare to ask any more questions, so I came over and sent you a letter." The eunuch replied carefully.

"Forget it, prepare my dress and I'll go to the port right away." Prince Xiusenya said.

"Yes, Your Highness." The eunuch hurriedly ran out and prepared a dress for Prince Xiusenya.

In the bedroom hall, Prince Xiusenya let others wear it, while he was thinking about the matter and wondering what deeds the messenger would bring this time.

After he finished his clothes, he immediately took a carriage and rushed to the port.

At the port of Blue Tu Island, a middle-aged man had just gotten off the boat and was talking to several officials on the island.

At this time, a carriage rushed from the island to the port, and several knights protected each other.

When the middle-aged man saw this, he immediately stopped talking to others and looked over.

"His Royal Highness Xiu Senya." Seeing a young man getting out of the car, the middle-aged man immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Is it you? Viscount Luoning?" Prince Xiusenya was slightly stunned when he saw this person, then walked over happily and hugged the other party.

"It's me, Your Highness, I want to congratulate you this time." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Oh? What good news did you bring to me? Come on, get on my carriage and say as you walk." Prince Xiusenya obviously had a good relationship with this envoy, so he directly invited the other party to his carriage.

This person was not polite. As Prince Xiusenya got on the carriage, the other entourages were arranged separately by officials on the island. Two people sat opposite each other in the carriage.

"Your Highness, you haven't seen each other for half a year, are you okay?" Viscount Luoning asked.

"I'm fine, but I failed to destroy the pirates some time ago." Prince Xiusenya smiled helplessly.

"No need to say anything about Your Highness. Now in the noble circle of the royal capital, who doesn't know that this operation failed. It was His Highness Hailancha's miscommand command? Your Highness, do you know that after receiving this news, Your Highness was furious and even cleared the dining table. After that, he sent an order to transfer His Highness back to the royal capital and immediately removed his position as commander-in-chief of the Third Fleet..." Viscount Luo Ning began to tell some of the situations in the royal capital in detail.

In fact, these princes Xiusenya also received some news, but if Viscount Luoning talked about it in detail, he would still be happy to listen.

Viscount Luoning is not an ordinary person. His father and grandfather were close ministers of the Esk Kingdom. He was sent to the palace since he was a very young man and took on a position. Because he was a few years older than Prince Xiusenya and was very close to him, the relationship between the two was very good. It can be said that Viscount Luoning was considered to be Prince Xiusenya's camp, but because the interests of the family are more important, he still couldn't help Xiusenya, but he could help him with him even if he was a little busy.

These are the principles of conduct of some great noble families, but now, this statement has the meaning of surrendering.

After hearing Viscount Luoning's words, Prince Xiusenya was silent for a moment: "What's the news you brought this time?"

"Hehe, your highness is so smart and wise, you must have guessed it? I am here to convey this order this time, and I will announce the order in public later." Viscount Luoning said with a smile: "You have been appointed as the joint commander of the Third and Fourth Fleets, responsible for immediately encircling and suppressing pirates and regaining warships. Do not give pirates a chance to form combat power."

Prince Xiusenya breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is not only a good thing, but also a responsibility and burden, and a mess."

"I believe that with Your Highness's intelligence and ability, it will not be too difficult to clean up this mess. What's more, through this, Your Highness, what you get is actually more than a fleet, right?" Viscount Luoning said with a smile.

Prince Xiusenya looked at Viscount Luoning, and Viscount Luoning also looked at Prince Xiusenya. The two of them suddenly burst into laughter at the same time. The loud laughter came from a long distance, far away.

"Hao Susenya is coming down? He is here in person?" On the way to the head of Tetasha, Romon was working, when he suddenly heard the news from the attendant and asked in surprise.

"Yes, sir, Prince Xiusenya has come in person and is coming here now." said the attendant.

"Where have you been? I'll go over to greet you." Romon thought for a while and said.

No matter what, Prince Xiusenya, as His Highness and his ally, could not wait in the room just like this. When he went to see Prince Xiusenya, the other party also welcomed him many times.

Sure enough, when Romon walked out of the lord's villa, he saw a carriage that had stopped in front of the door. Under the protection of several knights, Prince Xiusenya walked down.

"Earl Tetasha, I'm here to find you." Prince Xiusenya smiled.

Romon invited him inside and waited for the two of them to sit down. Romon asked, "Your Highness, why did you come here in person this time? Did something happen?"

"Things really happened. I was just appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Third Fleet, and commanded the third and fourth two fleets at the same time. My father was really angry this time. He didn't want the failure again. I came here this time to ask for your help. I hope you can devote all your navy and my fleet to fight the pirates."

Since he was able to come here in person this time, Romon had guessed what would happen, and it was not surprising that Romon nodded: "This is no problem. Please rest assured that I will send Shakater to lead all the main navy of the Fifth Fleet to fight side by side with the Third and Fourth Fleets, and be sure to clear all the pirates."

Prince Shusenya was very happy to hear Romon's reply. From this point of view, Romon took office as the earl and became a sixteenth-level druid, and did not change his position, so the two decided on the matter.
