"I really didn't expect that, Reginald Victor, have you eaten up your conscience?" Chris looked at Reggie angrily, "I was so worried about you, and even shed tears for you, you
You don’t trust me so much!”
"Actually, I trust you very much, but I'm more worried about my sentry tower."
"Do you think I'm that easy to deceive?"
"I didn't want to deceive you, at least I was a little on guard."
"Just a little precaution? You left Modessa here, and asked Dorothy and Ada to monitor me. These are top assassins, and they can kill me at any time!"
"As long as you don't steal my broken snow city, I will never hurt you."
"I never wanted to steal your city! You sent it to me!"
Chris was really sad, but Reggie didn't do too much.
Chris can track Reggie's whereabouts anytime and anywhere. Based on this alone, no amount of precautions can be taken by Reggie against him.
After a moment of silence, Reggie asked, "Does that feel good?"
"What does it feel like?"
"What it feels like to be a lord."
"I am the prince of a kingdom," Chris sneered. "The lord of a remote town, what does it mean to me?"
After a few more minutes of silence, Reggie asked again, "Be honest, man. How do you feel?"
"Very good," Chris told the truth this time. "To be honest, there was a time when I really wanted you to die."
"Keep your voice down, Modeza is nearby. If he hears you, he might really kill you."
Reggie called Tonggu, and under his guidance, Reggie came to the inside of the sentry tower. There was still a little finishing work left inside, but the overall situation still did not disappoint Reggie. After the sentry tower was completed, trenches had to be built around the outside.
Although there is a lot of work left to support supporting fortifications such as bunkers, the sentry tower is already ready for battle. Even if Charlemagne's army appears on the border tomorrow, the sentry tower in front of him can still play its role.
due role.
"What about the other towers?" Reggie asked.
"The situation is about the same," Chris said. "Counting from the seaside, the progress of the third tower is slightly slower. The roads there are too bad and the transportation of materials is a little difficult."
Reggie nodded and said, "It seems I should consider building roads."
"Are you crazy? Do you want to build a good road for Charlemagne?"
"I'm not crazy," Reggie said with a smile, "Zhilin City will belong to me sooner or later. I promised Viscount Sheila."
Chris said: "Three months ago, you were still thinking about how to hold the territory. Are you now looking forward to conquering it?"
Reggie said: "I have always wanted to conquer, but you are right, don't worry about a beautiful hat before you put on your pants."
"As I said before, I like your ambition," Chris said. "I also have good news to tell you. The Melting Elf is making progress every day and finding better ways every day. Just yesterday, he
Eleven barrels and wheels were made for you."
"Eleven?" This number surprised Reggie, "That means..."
"During the three days you were away, the elf completed a total of twenty-four muskets. I really want to hand them over to the Third Army."
"God, you didn't do that, did you?"
"Not yet," Chris smiled. "There are other places that need your musket more."
"Where?"
"Tuodao, let's talk in detail when we get back. You will ultimately decide all this."
"It's time to go back," Reggie nodded, "Wait until I find Modessa first."
"No need to look for it!" Modesa's voice came from above the sentry tower. He held a musket and stuck his head out from the top of the building. "This thing is very useful. I can shoot through the prince's head at any time."
.”
Chris took a breath: "God, when did you take this thing out? I just counted the number of muskets this morning."
"I carefully selected them in the castle last night," Modessa said, holding up the musket. "This one is the easiest to use."
Chris laughed dryly and looked at Reggie: "Congratulations, you now have twenty-five muskets."
Back at the castle, Chris took out a letter, a letter from Camel Island.
Since the trade channel of Blue Bay was blocked, Reggie sent a letter to Batchelor, asking him to find a new route.
Bachelo quickly found the answer from Yang Qiu. There was a waterway from Tuo Island to Shazhou City in Baita Kingdom. It only took fifteen days to go back and forth.
This route is five days longer than the Blue Bay, but the White Tower Kingdom's trade is relatively free, at least it will not cause trouble for the fleet of Shattering Snow City, and this route is far away from the mainland, and the navy of the Lion Kingdom has not cut off the route.
ability.
"The only problem now comes from the Golden Eagle Kingdom," Chris pointed to the map and said, "There are three islands near this sea area, and these three islands all belong to the Golden Eagle Kingdom."
Regarding the attitude of the Golden Eagle Country, there is almost no need to make any inferences and speculations. It will definitely cause trouble for Reggie. The key depends on how big these troubles are.
If it is just a small-scale attack and harassment, it is enough for the fleet to take corresponding precautions. On this continent, no one dares to offend the White Tower Kingdom easily. Even if it only attacks the merchant ships of the White Tower Kingdom, it will be very serious.
May suffer the disaster of national subjugation.
But if the Golden Eagle Nation wants to block this route at all costs, Reggie will have no choice but to capture these three islands. This is the result that Reggie least wants to see. He does not have the mature naval system of the Golden Eagle Nation. The outcome of this battle will be
The complexity is far beyond what Reggie can bear, and the winning rate in long-distance maritime operations is almost zero.
"Think of the good first," Chris said, "First give your first batch of muskets to Bachelo, and let him take the warship to the White Tower Country first. After the business is negotiated, let the White Tower
The country's merchant ships deliver goods to Tuo Island. With the flag of the White Tower Country, the Golden Eagle Country does not dare to take action easily. Even if they cause a little trouble, your muskets will be enough to deal with it."
This was a good plan, but after thinking about it, Reggie felt that something was wrong.
"Why does Bachelo need to go to the White Tower Country in person?"
"Because others don't have this ability," Chris listed two candidates that Reggie was familiar with. "Old Hill has not completely recovered. Even if he recovers, such a long journey may still kill him, and Deke
Tuo has never been to the White Tower Country, and he is better at buying leather goods from the Bayers."
"So what if I haven't been there? At least he understands the rules of business." In this matter, Reggie still trusted Decto more. "Bachelo is not even a businessman, and he is not young anymore.
Are you sure he can handle the trek?"
"What you have to face this time is not just business." Chris regarded this matter as very important. "This is your first direct contact with the White Tower Kingdom. It involves not only business rules, but also business rules.
There are also the rules of the White Tower Country. If Decto makes a mistake that he shouldn't make, it may affect your relationship with the White Tower Country. Never offend the White Tower Country. This is the consensus on this continent."
"If Bachelo is allowed to leave, Camel Island may be in danger," Reggie said what he was most worried about. "Is there really no other candidate?"
Seeing Reggie's scorching eyes, Chris instinctively took a step back: "Don't look at me, I said, I will not leave Shattering Snow City. Unless you want to go there in person, there is no one more suitable than Batchelor."
Candidate."
"It's a good idea to... take a trip in person," Reggie bit his lip.
