Allen waved his hand and asked Siwa to retreat with these warriors. He sat down on the nearest chair, rubbed his forehead, and asked Barton beside him: "Captain Fran and the fleet, are they now?"
Have you arrived at Heilan Port?"
Ever since Allen took a boat to Heilan Island, the docking of ships has become a problem. After all, the ship traffic between Heilan Island and Musen Territory is relatively common. If there is no port to dock, then every time
Loading, unloading, and transporting supplies are a hassle.
For this reason, some time ago, Allen specially brought the Qinghuang Knights to an area in the east of Giant Rat City, built a simple port, and named it Blackland Port.
"Lord Viscount! Captain Fran has now arrived at Heilan Port with his fleet. However, due to the supplies on the ship that need to be moved and a large number of sailors that need to be resettled, Captain Fran said that it will take some time and may not arrive until the afternoon.
Meet you!" Barton said.
"I heard that the old guy had another grandchild? And asked for a leave?" Allen didn't mind and said with a smile.
"That's right, sir! Hehe, Captain Fran even specially invited me to be his grandson's training instructor in the future!" Bud laughed out loud and said with some pride.
"Bard! Didn't I already ask you to refuse?" After hearing this, Barton paused and said to his third brother, Bard, with a somewhat ugly look on his face.
"Uh! Captain Fran is too enthusiastic...I...I'm too embarrassed to refuse! Besides, what's wrong with being the knight instructor of Captain Fran's grandson? I think it's okay!" Bard defended with a red face.
"But, you...you have to know that you are the Viscount's attendant. How can you agree to such a request without the Viscount's approval!" Barton frowned and scolded Bud.
Bard was a little unconvinced at first, but then he thought about it and that was indeed what happened! He rashly agreed to Captain Fran without the Viscount's consent. The Viscount would definitely be angry!
For a moment, I lowered my head, not daring to look at Allen and Barton again.
"Okay! Barton, I won't blame you, but before making a decision next time, you need to seek advice from your elder brother and me first!" Allen said helplessly.
Hearing Allen's words, Bard seemed to have found a savior. He raised his head and said excitedly and a little embarrassed: "Thank you, Lord Viscount! Bard will never agree to other people's requests casually in the future!"
Compared with the shrewd Barry and the dull-looking but delicate Barton, Bud has a much more honest personality, has no scheming, and treats things more simply, so it is not surprising that he can do such a thing to Allen.
Moreover, Captain Fran's behavior was not overstepping the bounds, it was not too much, and he had no bad intentions.
Allen can also guess a little of his thoughts. Bud Barton has been following Allen and can be regarded as a popular person around Allen.
And Fran is just the captain of a fleet, helping Allen to control the ship. He hopes that his grandson can have a relationship with Bud. Even though Bud is actually just Allen's personal attendant, he is in the eyes of the officials in the territory.
, is an out-and-out big shot.
In fact, if Allen is not eager to establish a navy in the future, then Captain Fran may always be a marginal figure under Allen, with no possibility of controlling power.
Moreover, Captain Fran is already old. Although his family life is relatively prosperous due to his position as captain, once he dies, his family will definitely fall to the bottom. This is why he wants to climb up to Bud.
Currently, there are two leaders in Mu Sen's fleet, and both of them are old guys. One is Captain Fran, and the other is Captain Gill.
Under Allen's order, the two men now manage nine wooden ships each, and they are divided into the first fleet and the second fleet. Among them, Fran manages the second fleet.
Allen called Fran here this time because he needed to entrust important matters to him.
Moreover, he only recruited Fran and the second fleet. As for Gill and the first fleet, they were still responsible for transporting supplies between the two places.
…………
He slowly picked up the water cup in his hand. The three fire maple leaves that had stretched out in the water covered the water surface tightly, and the tea inside could not be seen at all. Only wisps of fire elements continued to float out from the top of the silver cup.
Allen tried to move towards the mouth of the cup, but then gave up and handed down the cup.
He felt that he must have made a mistake in the way to drink fire maple tea. After frying, this fire maple tea looked only the size of a peanut, but don't forget that when it was fresh, it was bigger than a human palm.
, if you put it in this small cup and boil it, it would be strange if the cup is not blocked.
At this moment, Barton walked in from outside.
"Lord Viscount! Captain Fran is here!"
"Well, let him in!"
"I've met the Viscount!" Fran walked in steadily and saluted Allen respectfully.
"Sit down! I have called you here this time to ask you to do something!" Allen nodded slightly and said with a smile.
"I wonder what it is? Fran will do his best to help the Viscount!" Fran immediately said seriously.
"Don't worry, look at the picture first! Bud!"
After hearing this, Bud glanced at Fran unhappily, then took out a nautical chart from the side and spread it flat on the table.
Fran was confused. He didn't know why Bard looked at him with dissatisfied eyes. Did he offend Bard in some way? But he immediately realized that the Viscount was waiting for him, so he didn't dare to neglect, and suppressed the doubts in his heart.
, rushed to the table.
"Lord Viscount! This is a nautical chart!" He used to go sailing all year round. Although he was just a sailor before, he had been in the industry for a long time and he could still understand this kind of chart.
"Yes, this is a chart, and it is a chart with the surroundings of Heilan Island! This is Heilan Island, and there are some islands near Heilan Island, such as these! It is not said whether there are any on these islands
An intelligent race, but there are definitely a lot of mineral resources and precious trees, and they are still in an unexploited state!" Allen pointed on the chart and explained to Captain Fran excitedly.
"You should know why I came here to find you, right?" Allen said slowly after taking a breath.
"Lord Viscount! You want me to explore these islands!" Captain Fran said in a sensible manner.
"Well! It's not completely right, but it's almost the same!" Allen said with some satisfaction.
"This chart was obtained from Giant Rat City. In the next period of time, you will start from Helan Island and go southeast to look for Snake Dance Island on the chart. I don't ask you to venture to the island to explore. You
The mission is to determine the existence of this island, familiarize yourself with the routes between the islands, and prepare for the next large-scale exploration!”
