Power and Empire Chapter 1244: Black Forest
Molo, the southern seaport of Salander.
The fat man stood on a step of the harbor, looking helplessly into the distance, where the sea became especially gentle and beautiful, and the sea was almost still like a mirror, calm and charming. The hot-cold sea cháo brought dense schools of fish in the sea here zìyóu shuttle,
Occasionally, a series of small white waves are left on the sea. On the sparkling sea, fishing boats and merchant ships passing by on the calm sea leave long traces of white waves on the stern. A circle of ripples drifted around, and then collided with other ripples, stirring up more circles of ripples, and it took a long time to dissipate.
"My lord, the coast here is known as the Gold Coast." The port official next to Orus pointed to the white sail in the distance and said, "During the prosperous period of southern Salander, this is the most famous place in Salander. In the fish production area, the annual output of marine fish caught accounts for more than half of the total output. The coastline here is very straight, there are many scenic harbors, bustling towns everywhere, and busy businesses everywhere. In the shipyard, a large number of large yellow croakers and small yellow croakers gathered here due to the heat currents in the sea. There used to be eight huge fishing grounds, and at the time there were more than 2,000 fishing boats.
Aulus’s voice stopped, and he said with a bit of a bit of a word." Southern Salanders often say, here, you can catch a big yellow croaker and a small yellow croaker. There is no need to trawl at all. Although the large yellow croaker and the small yellow croaker are very worthless, for the fishermen here, every piece of fishing net that is pulled up occasionally contains a lot of rare fishes, and this sea area is also the first time we arrived here. The place of residence, on the island north of Port Morro, is the most prosperous golden waterway in the south of Salander, from this coast all the way to the central coast.
A large amount of raw materials and supplies were transported from the south to Sarand Kyoto in the middle. It is then further processed there, and then sold to various parts of Ikadiva further north. Especially the spice that is abundant on the east island, at that time, it was a common item that the nobles of Icadiva could not lack, very popular"
The port official's voice stopped, and he licked his lips dryly. He thought he had spoken very well, but he still couldn't see a hint of joy in the face of the newcomer. , This made him feel very helpless. He only learned two days ago that an inspector was coming from the north to check the production situation of the fishery this year.
As for the identity of the adult, the above did not say very clearly, but the group of black armored cavalry who came with it undoubtedly proved that the adult is not a Salander, this is a soldier, seeing The inspector was riding on a horse. Although he was exhausted, his back was as straight as a sword. Orus, who was born in Mamunuk in the south, felt this.
"It should be for food for the army this winter!" Orus guessed that he was not someone who knew nothing about the situation on the mainland. It was just after the Falcon Empire took control of the south. There is no meaning of blockade, and in Molo at the southern trading port, even a small official who manages the fishing grounds like Orus can go to the merchant ship from time to time and hear news about the mainland of Ikadiva. The Falcon Empire swept through the battlefield, invincible, and successively destroyed the powerful kingdoms on several continents. The empire’s territory was unprecedentedly strong.
Although as a Salander, Orus can also feel a sense of pride bursting out of his bones. To the empire, cheers! In the port tavern in Morro, you can hear the shouts of sailors from time to time, and every time Orus will unconsciously raise his glass to follow along,
Aulus is not a militant. Although he is a Mamunuk who has the glory of his ancestors, he also wore impractical and gorgeous armor to show off to his companions, but the defeat in the southern war made him change After thinking about it, only after experiencing the history of being bullied will you know that being strong is not a decoration, but real iron and blood. That is a thing that is eager and undesirable,
Orus sometimes thinks this way. If Salander had half the strength of the Falcon Empire at the time, it would not have been bullied by the Normans to such a degree. The mountains and rivers fell and hundreds of thousands of Salander southerners would be The Normandy army caught up with the warship like cattle,
The slave ships that shipped from Molo, carrying the resentment and sorrow of the Salander people, disappeared one by one into the sea forever,
Such activities have lasted for 8 months. It is the eternal pain of the Salanders. At the time of the Molo Sea, you can see the corpses killed and discarded in the sea because of resistance from time to time. Orus occasionally also From the wind whizzing past the harbor, I heard the faint cry of crying.
"The geographical location is good and the resources are abundant. Why didn't the Navy of Southern Salander set up a military port here?"
The fat man looked into the distance with piercing eyes and asked the port administrator Orus. He came here this time to avoid his tutor Palschena. He also had another purpose. He wanted to check Sarander. The port of Morro in the south, once the birthplace of Salander’s maritime civilization, is geographically closer to the strategic goal of Normandy, and it has very rich marine resources. If a military port can be built here, it can be The occupied Antoros forms a closest connection point,
"Yes." Orus said with a slight expression on his face. "There are many natural and fine harbors where large warships can be docked. Initially, the Salander Navy had plans to build a naval port, but soon this plan was Denied!"
"Oh, why? "The fat guy asked in surprise, no matter what the situation looks like~IndoMTL.com~This is the best sea port
Orus said, "Molo has an irreparable shortcoming, that is, it is very close to the open sea. Strong open sea storms often sweep the harbor. Even the large warships owned by the former Salander Navy often Wounded in the storm, not to mention the smaller warships,
The mountains here are also short of wood for building warships. If you want to obtain wood, you must transport it from the far middle. The cost is too high. The resources to build a warship here are enough to build two in the middle of the wood-rich middle. This is the main reason why the Navy gave up here."
"Isn't there a lot of wood in the south? Why is there a shortage of wood here?" The fat man looked around carefully and found that the mountains near the port are indeed bare. Even if there are trees, they are not strong enough to build ships.
"The sea breeze is too strong, and the trees are simply difficult to form." Orus said with a wry smile. "And the closest forest here is the most terrifying Black Forest. There is an exile area. Under normal circumstances, who Dare to go!"
"Black Forest!" The fat man snorted. He remembered that the Black Forest seemed to be the territory of the Sukh tribe,
