Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 319: Task completed
Harbour City
Richard has been staying in the port city for nearly a week. In the first few days, he was still interested in taking the red dragon out for two laps to show its existence. After the storm came later, Richard was not willing to experience it again. Due to the bad weather, I stayed in the port city for a few days.
In a week, a new biological nest-cruiser was built in the port city. This cruiser has no other meaning at all. It is the biological nest where the port forces produce third-level soldiers, providing Richard with the third-level primary soldiers of the port forces. first mate.
PS: (In the game, he is a sailor and can be upgraded twice, but the translation is very confusing, so he is directly set to first mate here.)
The first mate's strength is still relatively weak among the third-level soldiers. With Richard's bonus, he has the strength of a senior quasi-knight. He is not much better than the second-level soldier sailor, but his characteristics are also water-based. Ji Jiji should also have the ability to operate a ship, which can be regarded as compensation for its slightly weaker strength than other forces.
In addition to Richard and Red Dragon, there are now forty water elves, twenty sailors, and six first mates in the port city. The defense force is slightly more generous, but it is still in vain if the Sea Clan really wants to attack with all its strength. , without a few months of accumulation of troops, the port city will not be able to become a climate for the time being.
"Make a fire!"
Richard placed a lot of firewood in the open space and shouted to the red dragon beside him.
The red dragon also skillfully sprayed out a spark at the firewood pile. This little red star quickly ignited the firewood pile in the open space. The sailors and first mates who were waiting on the side put the prepared seafood on the grill. Richard couldn't even recognize half of these strange seafood, but that didn't stop him from feeling queasy just looking at them.
Flying from the dragon boat to the clam farm, Richard only brought some dry food and broken leaf tea. The dry food filled his stomach, and the tea was used to soak in water to supplement some vitamins. When he arrived at the port city, he only brought some dry food and broken leaf tea. In addition, both sailors and first mates need to eat, and dry food alone is definitely not enough.
Fortunately, close to the bay, there are water elves who are more flexible than fish in the water. There is no shortage of seafood and fish. At first, Richard could eat with gusto, and he ate dry food with seafood for a week. From now on, Richard will feel uncomfortable smelling the smell of seafood, but he still has to eat. It is true that Richard likes to enjoy life, but he is not so pretentious that he cannot overcome this difficulty.
"My lord."
The first mate on the side handed Richard a grilled yellow croaker. The meat of this fish is tender. It is the food that Richard can barely get interested in these days. Unfortunately, after eating it for several days in a row, he has no interest in it. It's almost worn down.
I could only get the roasted yellow croaker from the first mate's hand, and he ate it reluctantly.
But the sailors could not enjoy the food that Richard had already despised. They had to work together with more than ten people to carry seven or eight large fish of one or two meters to the Red Dragon. This guy was also a big meat eater. On land, they can still hunt their own food, but once they reach the sea, they have to wait for feeding.
After eating a few mouthfuls of fish and dry food, Richard boiled a kettle of water, grabbed a handful of broken tea leaves and soaked it in the kettle. After the meal, he drank a small pot of it to remove fishy smell and greasy food and supplement vitamins. , for Richard, it is a life-threatening thing these days.
Just when Richard was finishing his food and Bai Boring was about to continue practicing his martial arts and fighting spirit, a reminder came from his mind that made Richard stop, and a relaxed smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Mission: Greedy Sea Tribe (completed), please go to the Congress Hall to receive the reward."
The mission is completed, and it seems that the possibility of continuing the fight is slim. I don’t know what conditions Parley negotiated with the Sea Clan, so that the Sea Clan could accept a castle being placed in their heart.
…
Undersea
Neptune, who finally agreed to the terms of human armistice, was actually not very happy, and his subordinates around him did not dare to raise any more opinions. They talked about it several times, and everyone knew the main content of the peace talks. Neptune accepted it, and everyone gradually understood the stakes. Although it seemed ugly, no one could bear the responsibility for losing the southern clam farm.
Although this is the best result at present, as the king of the sea tribe, Sea King does not like the feeling of being threatened and forced to compromise. After negotiating with humans, he ordered all armies to stop gathering , and asked most of the people to return to their original sea areas. He took the remaining elite patrol guards back to the southern clam field. He wanted to see the dragon knight who flew far farther than expected, and the building that was built in an instant. castle.
…
"Brother-in-law, I asked you to threaten the Sea Clan Clam Farm. Why did you even build a castle? How did you do it?"
A few days later, most of the ships of the expedition fleet had returned. Only the dragon boat continued to the clam field with more than a dozen ships of various functions, including Pa Lei, who had a heart-pounding game with the sea tribe.
When Pare saw the port city on the bay, he rubbed his eyes several times. Even if he witnessed it with his own eyes, it was really hard for him to imagine how this building, which was already considered a large castle, could appear here inexplicably.
Faced with Parley's question, Richard could only smile at Parley and shake his head. He didn't bother to make up the reason. It was boring. Anyway, I looked like I had no comment.
Parley also knew that Richard had many secrets, and he couldn't tell them if he asked. He could only skip this question and tell Richard about the results of the negotiation.
After several rounds of negotiations, humans gained the right to garrison troops in Bengchang in the south, but the number was limited and was limited to 5,000 people. Humanity opened a port to the Hai Clan on a reciprocal basis and also allowed the Hai Clan to garrison 5,000 troops. , anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a line forced by Neptune to save face.
Five thousand sea people stationed in a human port are completely different from five thousand humans stationed in Bengchang. One is an ordinary small town for humans, while the other is the core area of the sea people. They are not on the same level of importance, but It's not that unpleasant to say.
Five thousand elite sea tribesmen on land would not even be able to make waves if they were seriously targeted by humans, but if five thousand elite human soldiers were stationed on the island of Bengchang, it would be a serious threat to Bengchang.
Some of the other clauses are general issues such as peace, non-aggression, free trade, etc., which are the kind that you can just listen to.
Richard is currently concerned about the issue of the five thousand garrison.
"Will all five thousand people be stationed in the port city?"
"Should I be able to live in Harbor City?"
Richard nodded, acquiescing to Parley's idea. There will be many secrets in Harbor City, but Richard is not afraid of exposing these secrets. But when it comes to the choice of generals, Richard must not be careless.
"Five thousand elites are enough. Leave it to Natalie to take them. Let them enter the city today."
"OK."
Pare probably doesn't have any other ideas. What he needs most now is to deal with the problem of the Sea Tribe and protect his southern foundation. He probably has no interest in building a castle thousands of miles away.
And Richard's decision to keep Natalie in charge was also a double insurance policy. Even if these five thousand soldiers had evil intentions and wanted to cause chaos in Harbor City, one Natalie plus the current strength of Harbor City It’s time to suppress the situation.
The King of the Sea, who arrived earlier than Pare, emerged from the sea and took a distant look at the castle in the bay and the red dragon flying in the sky from time to time. He also calmed down other thoughts and looked at him. He said that although he felt uncomfortable letting humans station troops in the southern clam field, he could not see any adverse effects for the time being. With the character of this Sea King, it was difficult to make a radical decision. After several twists and turns, Richard has become The biggest winner.
A port city, this will be his biggest nail in the south. Pare also gave him five thousand elite soldiers. Coupled with a mission reward that is destined to be generous, it is indeed a big gain...
