Realizing that this trip to Pontos was more than just a birthday celebration, Hilo's mind was not on the banquet. Fortunately, Baron Luther had fun for a while and excused himself as tired from the journey. Hilo also took the opportunity to end the banquet. Both parties
After chatting for a while, they went back to their houses to rest.
Sitting back at his familiar desk, Shiloh was not sleepy at all. He secretly wondered why His Majesty Rody wanted to make such a big fuss. Not only did he require all the royal relatives to be present, but even foreign guests were allowed to attend the birthday banquet.
This is the first time in decades for the Kingdom of Pontos.
You must know that the Free Federation is far away on the Eastern Continent on the other side of the ocean. Apart from trade exchanges, the two sides rarely communicate, and the Desert Empire has always been at odds with Pontos. This time, having these two countries send people here will definitely not only
It's as simple as celebrating birthday.
The only answer that Shiloh thought was possible was the selection of the crown prince.
There are seven princes in the Kingdom of Pontos, among whom the eldest prince Harold and the second prince Lewis are the most powerful. Even if the other princes are willing to compete, they are far from powerful.
Not surprisingly, the future King of Pontos will be born between these two.
Could it be that His Majesty Rody wants to use this birthday celebration to appoint his future successor?
The more Shiloh thought about it, the more likely it became. Countless palace fighting dramas he had watched in his previous life quickly unfolded in his mind, and he imagined a series of stories about brothers killing each other.
It's so terrible and cruel!
Shiloh shuddered and determined that he would never get involved in these things.
If you are not careful, you may make countless enemies for yourself, which is not cost-effective.
His main purpose for this trip is to find a suitable ally in the Kingdom of Pontos and use the strength of the ally to develop Stormwind City.
While they were thinking, Rowan and Connor walked into the study side by side. It was already late at night, but they still needed to report the tasks assigned by Shiloh.
"How is our distinguished guest doing? Did anything go wrong?"
Rowan and Connor looked at each other, and Rowan was the first to speak: "Your Highness, there has been no movement among the seven warships since they berthed, and no boats have left. They will not discover the existence of Gold Coin Island."
Shiloh nodded and looked at Connor again.
"Your Highness, the entourage and guards brought by Baron Luther have been properly arranged, and the eyeliners have been deployed. These people are very peaceful."
"But Baron Luther...uh..."
Shiloh's face darkened and asked: "What's wrong? Could it be that he did something secretly?"
"That's not the case... Your Highness, after Baron Luther returned to his residence, he even inquired from his subordinates about Bullock and other barbarians..."
Shiloh immediately replied: "I guess he took a fancy to the bravery of Bullock and his people, and wanted to recruit such a mercenary team...Huh? What's wrong, Connor, you are hesitant to speak, just tell me if you have anything to say."
Connor coughed dryly, his eyes wandering, and said: "Baron Luther said that he hopes that his subordinates will arrange for him to meet with Bullock and other barbarians...that...talk in detail all night long."
"puff!"
Shiloh almost choked on his own saliva. He slapped his chest vigorously, with a look of surprise on his face. He opened his mouth and asked tentatively: "Uh... you mean, sleeping?"
"Ahem, that's exactly it."
"My subordinate refused at that time. Baron Luther felt quite regretful. Afterwards, he returned to his room to bathe and change clothes, and immediately started having fun with his servants. However, Baron Luther's playmates were all **** and strong men.
It’s breathtaking.”
Shiloh was surprised, and finally understood why Baron Luther had a effeminate air about him.
It turns out that this old man is actually a rabbit man!
"This, this is indeed amazing, cough cough... In short, there is no need to pay attention to this matter, but we in Stormwind City do not do this kind of flesh and blood trading. If there is a next time, we will refuse it flatly."
"yes!"
Connor and Rowan looked at each other and found that each other's faces were flushed from suppressing their emotions.
The three men looked at each other in confusion. The scene of the slender Baron Luther being pinned down by Bullock and other muscular men flashed through their minds, and they finally couldn't help laughing.
There are many romantic affairs among nobles, and there were countless pink rumors about the former prince, but for such a blatant affair, and for asking for a male favorite from the local lord's men, Baron Luther can be regarded as the first among the nobles.
.
In the next few days, whenever Shiloh saw Baron Luther, he would involuntarily think of this incident. He was secretly glad that he was still a fat man weighing about 200 pounds. Baron Luther probably wouldn't look down on him.
type.
It's just a pain for Bullock, a reckless man. In the past few days, he has always received some gifts from Baron Luther, which makes this mighty man confused and doesn't know what to do.
He complained to his master Shiloh, but Shiloh laughed loudly, patted his chest and told him to take care of himself.
"Damn it, are all the nobles in Pontos so weird?"
The confused Bullock could only scratch his head and mutter to himself.
In the past few days, in order to prepare a gift for His Majesty Rody, Rowan led the sailors to jump into the sea and specially cut a piece of gorgeous and bright coral tree, which was extremely beautiful.
After everything was prepared, on the third day, Shiloh patted Rowend on the shoulder and handed over Stormwind City to this trustworthy subordinate.
"Remember, during my absence, build the city well."
"The city beneath Gold Coin Island must also be carefully explored."
"The surrounding desert islands that have been explored can be reclaimed and planted in advance, and the mines must be expanded. When I come back, I hope to see a brand new Stormwind City."
"Yes, Your Highness, your will will be carried out."
Shiloh was traveling for the first time this time, so he brought all the Storm Battalion soldiers with him except the desert mercenaries. Mahmoud and his desert mercenaries were left with Rowan to help him expand his territory.
Everyone exhorted each other, finally boarded the battleship, and officially set off for the Kingdom of Pontos.
"Your Highness, I wish you all the best and a safe return."
Rowan stood at the pier, looking at the fleet of ships moving away, and said to himself.
----------------------------------------
On this trip, Hilo also brought two ships, which were newly purchased Clark sailboats. One was named the Golden Deer and the other was named the Silver Deer.
Hilo did not bring many sailors this time. 100 people were enough to handle the operation of two sailboats. Plus system soldiers and knights, the total number was exactly 300 people.
The Pontos First Navy Fleet that escorted him there had seven ships with a total of about 900 people. Each of them was a master of the sea. Coupled with powerful battleships and artillery, they could launch a small war.
With their protection, Shiloh can be said to have peace of mind.
The voyage on the sea was extremely boring. After just over an hour, the horizon was no longer visible. In the vast sky and earth, it seemed that only this fleet was left crawling slowly in the endless waters.
Fortunately, it was not a rainstorm season and the weather was sunny, so Hilo did not get seasick again. He leisurely found a fishing rod, put it on the deck, and enjoyed the rare leisure time.
He has been in this world for half a year. Over the past six months, every time he hears about the grand scene of Pontos from people, he can't help but feel a sense of yearning in his heart.
Now, I can finally see with my own eyes what unique charm this powerful kingdom has.
