Fran stared at the island pointed by Allen on the chart, mentally calculated the distance between the two islands, frowned slightly and said: "Lord Viscount! According to the position on the chart, this snake dance
The distance between Heilan Island and Heilan Island is even greater than the distance between Heilan Island and Musen Territory. It is likely to take four or five days to reach this island, which means that the round trip may take up to ten days.
, I think material supply is a big problem!”
Allen smiled faintly and said: "Captain Fran, don't worry, I have asked Steward Swa to prepare supplies for the fleet for twenty days in advance. There are currently nine ships in the fleet, which should be able to accommodate them.
At the same time, for the safety of you and the crew, I will dispatch two hundred soldiers from the Heisang Village Guard to go with you!"
After hearing this, Fran was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. Unexpectedly, the Viscount was already ready.
"That's right! After all, this chart was made a long time ago, and its accuracy cannot be verified. If you don't find Snake Dance Island within ten days, just give up and return with the fleet! In my opinion,
It seems that your fleet is much more important than Snake Dance Island!" Allen said seriously.
"Yes, Lord Viscount! Fran will definitely return safely with the fleet!" Captain Fran said solemnly with the slightest touch in his heart.
"Well! You go down first! When you return to Heilan Port, someone will hand over to you and hand over the supplies and the two hundred escort soldiers to your hands!"
"Yes!" Fran took a copy of the chart from Bud, turned around and walked out of the hall.
After Fran left, Allen looked at the other three highlighted islands besides the 8 Snake Dance Islands on the chart, full of expectations.
In addition to Snake Dance Island, these three islands are actually also in Allen's exploration plan, but this has to be done bit by bit. Just one Snake Dance Island may be enough for Allen to explore for a while. If you add more
If you go to development, it will take even longer!
If Snake Dance Island can really be found, Allen may not think about the other three islands in the short term.
Later, Allen asked Bud to summon Abyss.
"Lord Viscount!" Abisi walked in not long after.
"Sit down first, sit down and talk!" Allen said slowly.
"Thank you, Lord Viscount!"
Abisi found a seat closer to Allen and sat down.
"I want you to always pay attention to the caravan coming from Helan City. How is the situation now?"
"Sir! The number of caravans coming from Black Orchid City has more than doubled inexplicably recently. Now these caravans are wandering in several large villages and Giant Rat City. Although they are conducting normal transactions on the surface, I feel
A large part of these people came secretly to gather information about Giant Rat City, and Black Orchid City should have already started investigating us! And with the number of members of the Shadow Section today, it is difficult to track and monitor them one by one."
Abisi said.
After hearing this, Allen straightened up and felt a little distressed. The Giant Rat City was not the Musen Territory. Allen had only occupied the Giant Rat City for a short time. The Nine Offices had just been established. The household registration office had not yet had time to compile information on the people of the Giant Rat City.
Registrations are kept, so the protection against spies is very weak. Once someone lurks in, it is difficult to detect.
"Let's do this! Later I will announce to the public that Giant Rat City is about to go to war with the Green Rat Tribe. The area of Giant Rat City will be under full martial law. During this period, for the safety of the Black Orchid City caravan, they will be sent back.
At the same time, the Black Orchid City caravan is not allowed to enter the Giant Rat City area until the war is over!" Allen said after thinking hard.
Although this only treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, at least within the war zone, it will be difficult for Black Orchid City's tentacles to reach Giant Rat City through caravans. At the same time, during this period, Allen will urge the household registration office to speed up the process of compiling the civilian register.
Strive to complete this important measure before the end of the war.
Abisi nodded aside, feeling that Allen's plan was feasible.
"How is the operation to establish strongholds in the Black Orchid City area and the Giant Wood City area? How many people have successfully infiltrated and settled down?" Allen continued.
"Lord Viscount, all the twenty shadows who went to establish strongholds in the two places have now successfully lurked. Among them, three in Black Orchid City have successfully opened up the situation and established strongholds, and are already preparing to secretly recruit peripheral members!"
Bisi said with a smile.
"Okay! Let them be careful when recruiting members and never reveal their flaws. Musen will fully support them!" Allen nodded and said.
…………
Two days later in the morning, in a port east of Heilan Island, nine huge sea ships were listening outside Heilan Port. Fran was now standing on the plywood of a sea ship. It was Fran who led Allen today.
Ordered to go to investigate Snake Dance Island.
Nine giant ships formed this exploration fleet.
These large ships were all obtained by Allen from the Blue Water Territory last time, and they are all sea ships used by jackals.
These sea-going ships have a load capacity of more than 200 tons, are about 40 meters long, and have a maximum width of 14 meters. They are driven with the help of a rudder on the stern column. They are a kind of two-masted sailing ship.
It is carrying a huge quadrilateral sail, and the second mast is hung with triangular canvas. The high-raised bow and stern are carved with magnificent patterns. The thick keel and shell can ensure that it can sail freely in the ocean.
As Captain Fran blew his screw whistle, the nine large ships slowly left the port and headed for the depths of the sea.
The deep blue water beats the ship over and over without fear of hard work. How can the blue ocean and the blue sky be one? The whole world seems to be dyed blue, until a ray of morning light shoots out from the end of the ocean.
This blue world adds a beautiful color.
After sailor Cole washed the plywood, he took a break and leaned on the railing. While the boatswain was away, he admired the beautiful scenery and was slowly attracted by the scene in front of him!
Cole is eighteen years old this year and comes from a small village in Musen Territory. Since he started fishing with his father in the river at the age of five, he has developed extraordinary water skills over the years, so he was selected by Captain Fran and became the glorious leader.
a sailor.
Since the fleet paid a lot of salary (wage) every month, after he became a sailor, his family gradually became richer. The original two mud houses have been demolished and several large stone brick houses are to be built. His mother also said
When he saves enough money, he will marry him a wife. Cole couldn't help but blush when he thought of this!
"Cole! What are you doing! Has the deck been washed?"
Suddenly, a scolding blasted in Cole's ears, making Cole tremble with fear.
"Bosun!" Cole exclaimed.
"Bosun! Sorry! The deck has been washed, I will wash it again!" Cole lowered his head and said tremblingly.
"Hmph! Why don't you come work for me! I think you don't even want the salary!" Boatswain Jiasi said sternly.
