Sarand northwest coast, Port Legge
Golden sunlight shining from the distant sky on this small bay, the light blue sea, as the sea breeze undulates, white waves push the large and small merchant ships at the dock berth,
Most of these merchant ships are to be unloaded, but some are loaded. Porters come and go like ants, carrying large and small packages of materials on their shoulders. d Please use. The unloaded from merchant ships are mainly local specialties and various daily consumer goods, while the merchant ships are mainly used for production materials such as ore and wood that are circulated through Jinchuan Road.
Leggen, the local lord, was standing on the observation deck of Legge Harbor. The fat man was squinting his eyes and looking anxiously at the distant sea. A huge merchant ship slowly approached the shore. This ship is not much different from other merchant ships, but there is a very special flag hung on the top of the mast. You can see that this is a Vecia business alliance ship. The tall mast of the sailing ship is projected to Legge. In the port’s wharf, the huge hull occupies almost one third of the port
Seeing this large merchant ship docked, Leggen's heart slowly let go,
Half a year ago, he was the poorest little lord by the sea in the north, and he used to sell his ancestral castles to wealthy businessmen everywhere in order to collect funds for the construction of the port. Now, he can already come up with the same Money from him to repair his castle that has been cracked due to disrepair for a long time, and begin to ambitiously realize his ideals and form a fleet of his own,
All this is attributed to the banquet that gave him a turning point in his life. Because of the strong recommendation of Victor, the largest commercial organization across the strait, the business alliance finally decided to set the transfer point for the goods to Sarand Kyoto at almost It’s a Legacy with nothing. Although his territory is not large and the wharf that can be built is only a medium-sized wharf, it is the northern port closest to the central part of the kingdom.
With its unique advantages, it quickly became the best entry point to enter the central Salander area. Hundreds of merchants began to set up locations here to build warehouses and shops. There are dozens of merchant ships heading to Kyoto every day. Dock here and transport it to Sarand Kyoto by carriage
This piece originally came from a place with a few small fishing villages. In just six months, it has quickly developed into a small town with a population of more than 4,000. All this is for Legern, who was on the verge of despair and abandoned himself. , It's totally a dreamlike transformation,
Because of this special relationship, Legern is already recognized as a hard-core follower of the Northern Victory,
It was during the time that the new northern chief was fully suppressing the northern collar. When most northern lords chose to wait and see and stay away from the Vick collar, it was also the one with the **** Vick collar. The minister is called the little lord, and he does not hesitate to stand up and show his position to everyone,
"I don't know any northern chiefs. In my eyes, only Vic is the only one I don't recognize!"
This little lord, who looks a little wretched and awkward with prestige, did something that made all northerners feel offended. Not only did he tore up the text of the northern chief Jeharto on the spot, but he would also send it. The messenger stripped off his clothes, drizzled with sticky stinky whale oil, and drove out of his territory with a feather representing humiliation.
This was a sensation at the time. It was like a weathervane, representing the disgust and anger of the northern nobles towards the northern chief. Although most northern lords spoke a lot of ridicule about this matter, In private, they all give a thumbs up "Leggen is a nice guy!"
The merchant ship berthed firmly and landed on the trestle bridge from the springboard. A few big men in lock armor got down first, control the location near the trestle bridge with a murderous aura, and disperse the porters. d
These big guys are basically burly, five-big and three-bodied men, all around 30 years old, with fierce expressions, and bronzed skin that they are sailors who live in the water all the year round.
They were wearing black short coats, showing their strong arms, and the sea breeze from time to time blew their clothes, revealing their long swords at their waists. Under their protection, a tall woman came down from the merchant ship. Coldly stepped on the wooden board of the trestle bridge, high-heeled shoes nailed to the wooden board, making a very clear sound.
The woman is dressed in a pure black skirt, showing her slim figure, as well as always cold and noble.
"Miss Socutus Dailan!"
In the distance, Lord Leggen almost trot over all the way, with a complimentary smile on his face. Only those who have been in contact with the business alliance know the power of this glamorous beauty in front of him,
It is said that in the decision-making meeting of the business alliance, it was this lady who seemed a little bit charming. With one person, she suppressed the opposition of all the business alliance deacons and chose this extremely important location in her own fishing village. I know, those are some level businessmen whose roots are thicker than their waists, but before this cold-faced beauty, they didn’t even dare to breathe.
Of course, there are also reports in private that this great beauty is the woman of the Wikiah Falcon, and her power is the uncrowned king in Wikiah.
"Hello, dear Lord Legion!" Socutus Delan glanced across the port in front of her, and saw that there were merchant ships in the port. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked Legge, "I don’t know. Lord Lord has received the confidential documents from the Victory? At this time, it is best to choose the merchant ship to evacuate the port. This matter is very important, so you can't be sloppy!"
"Of course, as soon as I received the letter, I made preparations!" Legion nodded quickly, and said solemnly. "According to the report of the reconnaissance ship I sent, there are indeed a large number of naval warships assembled in the naval port of Kyoto in Sarand. Phenomenon, the number is about the number of ships. Based on my understanding of the Kyoto Navy, they will always send one or several small ships to investigate before the brigade fleet. If my port is empty, I'm afraid Master Vic's. The plan is in danger of being seen through!"
"But these merchant ships are too dangerous to stop here!" Socutus Delan looked worried, "If the Salander Navy suddenly appears, I'm afraid the whole port will be in chaos without fighting."
"Miss Delan, don't worry, these merchant ships are mine, or they are some old ships that have been scrapped. They are placed in the port for the sake of appearance, and the chaotic port can perform more realistically."
Leggen has a serious look, and a trace of determination flashes in his eyes
"I just want the people in Kyoto who made the raid to believe that their plan for the north is perfect and successful. When they use this as a base to advance to the 6 mountainous areas in the north, they must have never thought of the army led by the Duke of Russia and Germany. Already waiting for them, and they will also be trapped in a quagmire of bitter battles!"
"But your loss is too great! Although these merchant ships are small merchant ships, they add up to be worth more than one hundred thousand gold coins." Socutus Delan looked slightly stunned, looking at this obscenely long fat man. The lord’s gaze seemed a bit solemn and respectful,
To be honest, for such a small lord, Socutus Delan doesn’t see much in his eyes, but he has to admit that although this person is not very long, he is extremely passionate and moral in his heart. The guys, I have to admire the grand duke’s choice to place the most critical part in this person,
"I have a request, I hope Miss Socutus Delan can agree to it?" Suddenly, Lionel raised his head very seriously and begged Miss Socutus Delan
"Whatever the request, just say "Socutus Delan responded" This battle of the North is related to the important interests of my business alliance. As long as I can help you, I will do my best."
"I hope my people will be able to take Miss Delan's boat and leave Port Legge together!"
Linger stared brightly at the sea in the distance, and said, "Although there are arrangements, this time the Kyoto Army is coming fiercely. The battle in the mountains is bound to be extremely dangerous. Bring it to Vic, and I will stay and delay the progress of the Kyoto Army with the Duke of Russia and Germany, and buy time for Vic to lead a direct attack!"
Kutus Delan stared at Lionel with piercing eyes for several minutes. She knew what the request was. She was basically arranging funeral affairs. These tribesmen could be sustenance or hostages and hand over their tribesmen to Victor not only expressed his final position, but also expressed his determination to fight to the death.
After hesitating for a while, Miss Socutus Dailan nodded and said in a decisive tone, "Okay, I promise you, regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, I will definitely use the power of the business alliance. , Reinvigorate your Legg Harbor and make it the largest port in the northwest of Salander"
"Thank you! So please," Lionge said in a low voice with excitement, looked up at the blue sea and blue sky in the distance, and said with a solemn expression. "It's not early, and I ask Miss Delan to return to the ship soon! The ship of the Marang tribe, the Kyoto fleet may appear on the sea at any time! It will be difficult to handle at that time!"
"Take care!"
Socutus Delan lightly nodded, and led his men back to the merchant ship along the grating. Soon, the huge mast of the merchant ship raised white sails again, and the huge hull shook and creaked. Slowly leave the narrow sesame oil in Legge Harbour
"Call"
As soon as the merchant ship left the narrow area, the huge white sails swelled up, and the heavy hull oppressor waves squeezed away to both sides, dragging a long white waterline, and finally disappeared into the sea in the golden sunlight.
"My lord, is it too risky for us to do this!" Just behind Lionel turned around~IndoMTL.com~ an attendant next to him cautiously asked, "What if Vic leads the battle, then we all Are all of his hard work and struggle in vain? And if the tribe is put on the leader of Vic, what if we become the bargaining chip for the other party to control us?"
"What do you know!" Lenger turned his head and glared at him, and said with a corner of his mouth, "Are we still going to retreat? If we don't want to go back to the humiliated and ridiculed days, just You only have to follow Vic’s leader. As for the tribe, don’t you see it? Behind Vic’s leader stands the invincible falcon. Now there is a safer place in the north of Salander than there. Is it? If the other party wants to blackmail us, what kind of clan is needed, it is enough to cancel our trade point ""
"Yes, I think too much!" The attendant said with an embarrassed expression, "I don't know when the Kyoto Army will come, so I always worry about it!"
"Hehe, some things are really unspoken!" Liont stopped and suddenly turned his head to look at the distant sea, and saw a huge white water wave appearing on the distant sea, and the sails were like a wall, Sa The semi-circular bow unique to the RAND Navy, like a sharp blade that cuts the sea, rolls up white waves
In April, Sarand Kyoto raided the port of Legge in the northwest, causing Vijay’s commercial interests in Legeport to suffer significant losses, and the Visa War broke out
