Chapter 127: Stronghold (Part 1)

The sailor's recovery is better than expected

This is due to the existence of the priest. It has to be said that although it is only level 0 and level 1 divine art, as well as some holy water, it effectively solves the problem of wound infection and stops the heavy bleeding.

In addition, there were enough food and water on the captive ships. Now there were so few people, enough food for 300 people to let go of their stomachs. Therefore, except for the deaths of two people, the others healed during the slow sailing.

Due to insufficient manpower, the seven boats were united and walked slowly. However, on the 13th day, they encountered wind and waves. Due to insufficient manpower, they could not fight. They had to let the boat ride the wind and waves and float at the mercy of fate.

The strong wind blew all night and stopped. At this time, it was dusk, the setting sun shone in the west, and the dusk was gradually coming.

"Sir, why not find an island and rest first. Stay on the island for ten days and you can basically heal completely. This will make the operation even smoother." Hadak stepped forward and said, his contribution was obvious, so he quickly expanded his prestige and became the second person.

This suggestion is good, Fang Xin immediately adopted it.

Moreover, just when he was looking for the island, he found an island before the night. With the last trace of sunset, the boat circled around the island. Fang Xin found that the island was about twenty square kilometers. He immediately found a recessed place, stepped forward to set up a camp and got an anchor, after all, it was a shelter from the wind.

Since the island is not in the main trunk of the seaway and there is no trace of people, the forest accounts for almost half of it.

There is a beach in the north of the depression, about 300 meters long, with gravel as big as chicken eggs and as small as projectiles. It is mainly gray-white and gray-yellow, with red, brown, black and other colors, and the environment is quiet.

Fang Xin found that this was the estuary of a river. After taking a sip, he found it was tamsui. He was very satisfied.

After checking the charts, I found that I had almost arrived near the Kingdom of Sample. This island was actually an uninhabited island. This situation is very common. In the era of Great Discovery, except for the islands that are valuable in the main trunk of navigation, other islands will basically be ignored unless they are easy to develop on a large scale.

Originally, Fang Xin read the novel, Monte Cristo, and bought an island (actually, he contributed some money to the king, and then the island was legally counted under his name), so he got the position of the earl.

This island is too small, but it shouldn't be difficult to get a hereditary jazz, Fang Xin thought so.

Thinking of this, Fang Xin took advantage of the opportunity of cultivation and ordered twenty relatively recovered sailors to get off the boat with an axe. There were carpentry tools on the boat. This was to repair the ship in case of crisis, so he cut down the trees and started building a house.

Of course, not all of them are newly built. First set a fire to burn a piece of land. There are already solid wooden rafts on the boat, and they are moved directly. Using the trunks of several small trees as brackets, nailing the wooden rafts around and then covering the roof, and a simple wooden house will be available.

The wounded on the boat were moved to the wooden house on land, which was beneficial to their cultivation. Everyone had a simple meal that night and went to rest.

The next morning, when the sun came out in the morning, Fang Xin woke up. The weather was very good. Seagulls flew around in the blue sky. Without disturbing others, Fang Xin ordered Tebi to bring four soldiers with him.

First, I took a small sailboat and carefully checked around the island, then climbed to the highest mountain on the island, and looked down from a high place.

At around 3 pm, the island was already very clear. This island has the potential of a port and has a small piece of flat land to be developed. Although it has developed a maximum of about 3,000 mu of fields, it is enough. After all, the nearby fishery resources are very rich, and it does not benefit from agriculture, and is suitable for other industries!

Although it is remote from the main channel, it is not too far. If there is a stronghold here, it will be much more convenient to sail, especially many secret information.

Thinking of this, he said to Tebi: "Tebi, what do you think of this island?"

"Sir, if you have any orders, please give me your order!" Tebi said without vaguely. After a bloody battle, one of the two captains later died in battle. Now out of the thirty-three, twenty-one of them are left, and the losses are huge, but compared to the others, it is already good, and Tebi has been promoted to the squadron leader.

"Well, this time, you all went out to build strongholds on that small flat land and distributed according to the river. Originally, the land was too close to the sea and the terrain was low and humid, and it was not a good place to live."

"It is necessary to build a formal wooden house. Within ten days, you can build two wooden houses, but there must be wooden stakes and fences around it. In the wooden house, I will leave food, wine, some medicines and weapons, and you will leave two people to guard it."

"There are only half a month, and the more than one and a half months, I will send someone to come. As for the priest, it depends on the meaning of Archbishop Barnier and must be arranged in a coordinated manner." Fang Xin said with regret. He estimated that Archbishop Barnier would not send a priest. The reason is very simple. Now it is time to understand the situation in the Four Leaf Continent and import a large amount of various materials and technologies, rather than to attack recklessly.

"Yes, sir." All those who can be sent out are naturally elites and loyal, and have long been prepared for sacrifice. Tebby replied without hesitation.

"Okay, you can do this and we'll go back." Fang Xin said, so the group went back and returned to the beach and found that the evening feast had been prepared. On the seven boats, some stoves and tableware were moved down, and the fishermen caught some fish and a wild sheep - the baron's private chef who was lucky enough to die, was worthy of being a noble chef, and the fragrance of the production was so strong.

"Ah, dear knight, you finally arrived. This sudden storm delayed our trip." As soon as we came back, we heard the Baron greeting enthusiastically.

The Baron suffered a lot of losses this time, with only four of them 50 people surviving, and only two of them were warriors.

"Well, yes, Baron, but there is no way to do it now, but it is not too far from the route. We will take a few days off and wait for all the sailors to heal, and then we can quickly return to England Putrajaya." Fang Xin said, "You can also make a profit to make up for your huge losses, and if you testify, you can get a share in the businessman's property."

After the pirate battle, the relationship between the two became much closer, and the baron immediately responded: "Yes, these damn pirates, but don't you really hand over the surrendered pirates?"

"There is no way. In order to survive, those pirates converted to the god of Hadak. Hadak proposed to exchange his income for their lives. I promised that they would only hand over two unlucky guys. Let's do this, I will share one-third of his part."

According to the Pirate Law, those attacked by pirates have the right to claim compensation as long as there is evidence. Of course, not everyone has this right. On the ship, Fang Xin is one, and Baron is one, and even Hadak. Although his priest seems not easy to disclose, the court also knows it, so he has the right to obtain a copy.

"No, Knight, you gave me a boat, it's enough to make up for it. How can I take your stuff again?" the Baron refused, but after discussion, the Baron was satisfied with the agreement to trade "cash for real estate."

Vincent Manley is dead. According to the pirate law, most of his industries will be confiscated and compensated for the losses. Of course, he has a lot of wealth, two-thirds of which lies in the chamber of commerce and sea boats, but the other party said that he would rather ask for his six small real estate.

Compared with the total assets of 200,000 gold land, these six small real estate properties are worth about 20,000 gold land. According to conventional rules, two-thirds will be divided by the city lord, courts, and chambers of commerce, but the parties should be able to get about one-third. This is to encourage the fight against pirates, and the total value is 70,000 gold land. Therefore, Fang Xin personally obtained these six small real estate properties worth 20,000 gold land.

However, in this way, Fang Xin had seven small real estate properties. Even if he did not cooperate with this island, it would not be difficult to obtain the title of hereditary jazz from the king.

The knight is still too low, and the hereditary jazz is considered to be the gate of nobles who have truly entered this world.

As for the ship, the pirate ship captured on the spot did not need to pass through the court to directly belong to Fang Xin personally. Even if the Baron was given a ship, Fang Xin's fleet already had four ships, plus a hereditary jazz ship - it was already considered very large.

While talking to the baron, they gulped wine, clam soup, seafood, and barbecue. When the letter, with the information on Coel's statistics and budget, announced that each person would send another hundred Jinlekes, everyone cheered.

However, after the dinner, Motst came over and said, "Sir, I don't think I'll get on the boat when I go back this time."

In this battle, Motste's old brother was only three left. Lawson, who wanted to retire when he wanted to go back, was also killed in battle. It was obvious that this was largely due to his estimate.

"Mott, if you don't quit, you will be the captain of a boat from now on." Fang Xin said.

This news obviously made Mott hesitate, but after a moment, he still said: "Sir, I am old, not the age of this industry."

Fang Xin was a little regretful and said, "This is really a pity. However, since you want to withdraw, I will definitely agree to you to have another appointment. As well as other personnel, I will make arrangements to move to my territory."

Motste smiled bitterly, but there was nothing he could do. Unexpectedly, he did not completely withdraw at this time, so he responded and said, "Yes!"

Seeing his expression, Fang Xin knew what he was thinking and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. You have been on the sea for a long time. If you have any friends, you can also introduce me. I am the one who is using people."
