Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 266: Waiting

Chapter 266 Waiting

The sails of the fleet have gradually disappeared on the margins of the sea and air, and no longer can be seen.

Only three thousand battalions of nine battalions were sent to Silowas Islands for reinforcements. There are too few boats to transport so many. If it were not for the addition of eight whaling ships, even if there were two more large ocean-going armed forces merchant ships newly launched by the Bullhorn Bay shipyard in Simba Wood's fleet, the number of troops transported at that time would be more than 4,000.

Lorist originally wanted to lead the team in person, but was stopped by a group of people including Potterfang. Potterfang said that you can't let Lord(s) do everything in front of you. We, as family members, sit at the back and enjoy it. That would be a shame for us Knight(s).

Moreover, with Hanayabarta kingdom's slave traffickers and slave-capturing teams and their nature, they rarely rob and plunder a place for more than a month. Maybe when the fleet arrives at Silowas Islands, people have already gone to the island, and Lord(s) runs for nothing. It ’s a waste of time. It ’s better to wait for our news in the family Territory and deal with the family affairs. Running outside will always delay a lot of things in the family Territory ...

Potterfang said euphemism but Lorist understood what he meant. He would be stable here Northern Land. If he has n’t stayed in the family Territory for a long time, maybe the three allies will have any thoughts. At the end of last year's four parties, the directors of Potterfang and Speer came forward to receive them. This year, they have to show up anyway.

As for Lorist's worries about encountering enemy problems while going to Silowas Islands, Potterfang smiled and said that it was not a big deal. With the reports of the surviving Guards Third Battalion family members soldier(s) and Imperial Guard, the enemy's large army is the UW The only thing to consider is those Great Sword Master. However, this time they went to Silowas Islands with two heavy armored battalions and a single-wheeled Ballista battalion. After forming an army formation, it was guaranteed that even Great Sword Master would not dare to face its front.

Potterfang believes that if there are few enemies or already leaves Silowas Islands, the forces of the three battalions going this time will sweep the entire island and conduct aftercare. If the enemy is still Silowas Islands, then Potterfang will step by step, occupy a place to deal with the enemy, and wait for subsequent reinforcements. At that time, the speed of the flying fish of the morning sun, Lorist received on the island, but it will take more than ten days.

A total of five Norton Family Golden Knights joined the fleet to join Silowas Islands. In addition to Potterfang, Joske, and Simba Wood, there are also Fierce Tiger Ross, which has been entangled and Yuri who has just been promoted to Golden Knight. In addition, there are two people with special missions who are responsible for setting up the Tarkel and Els of the Furybear Investigation Bureau.

The order given to them by Lorist is that if Silowas Islands is recovered, they will go to Morante City and Peterson Chamber of Commerce to Hanayabarta kingdom, find out the whereabouts of the captives, and find a way to save the captured family Knight(s) and civilian officials. The most important thing is What happened was to find the whereabouts of Charade and others, and by the way, to investigate the military strength of Hanayabarta kingdom and the situation of all the big slave owners and slave traders, the slave hunting team ...

The sea breeze came on, with a faint smell of the sea. Here is the bluff-shaped cliff of Bullhorn Bay. The semi-circular cliff of Correct encloses Bullhorn Bay inside, forming a quiet bay, not afraid of the strong wind and waves outside. The family used nearly a thousand labors to excavate a road to the top of the cliff, and was planning to build a lighthouse on the extreme edge of the cliff to bring light and guidance to the lost ship in the dark night without Silver Moon.

Lorist came to the top of the cliff to see off the fleet of voyages, the second was to see the location of the lighthouse, and the third was to have his own intention, and to see if he could build a fort on this cliff in the future. In this way, you are not afraid that foreign fleets will attack Bullhorn Bay and the harbor city.

Fleet already is gone, Lorist walks to the cliff and looks at the harbor city and Bullhorn Bay below.

The harbour city is still lively and lively. People from all construction sites come and go. The frustration of the family at Silowas Islands has not affected the development and construction of this emerging city. This time, Lorist arranged more than 700 residents who escaped from Shiratori Town, and heard the cry of those refugees missing their loved ones from time to time in the past two days ...

On the other side of Bullhorn Bay is a larger and larger shipyard. Looking down from the top of the cliff, you can see the keel of five ships lined up in the open space of the shipyard. Numerous workers are like ants around. The food is generally toiled around the five keels. In a few months, these five new ships will launch into the family's new battleship.

On the wharf of the Bullhorn Bay shipyard, there is also a larger warship similar to Chenxi's Flying Fish, but this is a large three-masted schooner battleship Storm. One hundred and twenty-eight Experts selected from the sailors are familiar with the handling performance of this new ship. After the return of Simba Wood, this Storm will be equipped with twenty-four Bronze cannons and become a veritable sea storm. , Invincible battleship ...

"Malek ..." Lorist said: "This time I want to transfer half of the veterans from your Chariot Ballista corps to join the Ballista corps and speed up the formation of the Ballista corps. I want to arrange the Ballista corps Silowas Islands. "

The expressionless Malek was silent, and then answered, "Lord(s), can I make a suggestion?"

"Oh, let's say it." Lorist didn't expect that Marek, who claims to be iron, would say so, hesitated.

"Lord(s), I know that Doles is very close to you, but the burden you put on him is too heavy, and he has always followed you to run west, which is not good for his personal cultivation." Marek hesitated and continued Said: "Doles used to be the deputy Captain of the Chariot Ballista corps. As my deputy, I know him very well and have played against him. His talents are good, but he stayed in the 3 Star Silver level for a long time. already has no entry in three years. What he needs is time and good self-exercise so that he can be promoted to Golden Rank in two or three years.

Lord(s), I understand your intention to form a single round of Ballista corps. You will not let go of the big slave owners and slave traders of Hanayabarta kingdom. The day when the formation of the single Ballista corps is completed is your day of Hanayabarta kingdom. I hope that Lord(s) can exchange Doles and me for a seat, and let me act as the soldier Captain of the single round Ballista Corps and follow you on the expedition.

Lord(s), I think that this is the best of both worlds. The Chariot Ballista Corps is responsible for the defense and attack of the Northern Land family Territory. In recent years, Northern Land has been the world of our Norton Family and three allies, and it will be calm in the next few years What will happen. Doles as the soldier Captain of the Chariot Ballista Corps, just have time to take a good practice(d), and bring up the personal cultivation ... "

"Bash" Lorist couldn't help laughing, Marek said it wasn't because he stayed in the Chariot Ballista corps without a fight and could not bear the loneliness, but the excuse he made made sense. Doles should be Good practice(d) promote Golden Rank early, so Lorist reuses him and no one can gossip.

"What do you think I want to go for Hanayabarta kingdom?" Lorist asked.

"Lord(s), we are the Roaring Angry Bear of Northern Land. The family has never been beaten by a mouthful of history. In my knowledge of Lord(s), it is not the kind of character that can bear patience. Lord(s) is not revenge. Lord(s) means of killing the captive Hanayabarta kingdom sailors, this revenge will not only be doubled but also very cool ... "Malek replied.

"Uh ..." This sounds awkward, doesn't it mean that I have to be narrow-minded and must report? Lorist frowned for a long time, and decided to give up thinking in this regard. Malek himself is still very clear, his character is like this, straight and honest.

"Well, Marek, in fact, I want you to play the role of Captain of the Chariot Ballista corps. The family Golden Knight is just a few of you. Although there are more Terman, Yuri and Simba Wood, I think it is not enough Putting you and the Chariot Corps in the family Territory is to use your Golden Knight reputation to make others afraid to underestimate the power of our Norton Family family armed forces. "Lorist said.

"Lord(s), two lancer regiments of Xing'anyuan and Honghe original Fierce Tiger Ross are stationed, followed by Boulder Castle, the front and back cities of Boulder Castle have formed a defensive brigade, and the Paul Bins guards In the first battalion, there is the first battalion guarding the warehouse, and the Knight(s) group of Terman is also there. No one at already dares to underestimate our family armed forces.

The Chariot Ballista Corps has always kept secrets. Only the three allies know a little, so it doesn't matter if I am here or not. If Lord(s) and I change seats with Doles, it can just stimulate Doles and let him understand that Lord(s) cannot reuse him if he is not promoted to Golden Rank, so that he can work hard for practice(d) ... "

Well, Marek used the Fa to get it out.

Lorist laughed: "Okay, Marek, you convinced me. When the Silowas Islands incident ends, I will transfer Doles back, and you will be the Captain of the Ballista Corps. This time from the Chariot Ballista You must pay close attention to the issue of veterans, but you must not overdo it, so as not to affect the combat effectiveness of the Chariot Ballista regiment. "

"Yes, I understand. Thank you Lord(s)." Malek was saluting.

After descending the cliff, Lorist took Schwartz and a team of Imperial Guard to the valley where Professor Blade Edge Mountain Range Bob ’s gunpowder laboratory was located, and the rumbling gunfire was heard in the distance.

Into the valley, Professor Bob rushed over when he saw Lorist coming, his face flushed and his throat shouting: "Lord Count, you can't stand it, either you can change the place where the artillery is launched, or you can get my laboratory Somewhere quiet! "

Uh ... this is another mistake. The valley where Professor Bob ’s gunpowder laboratory is located for Professor Bob to do the gunpowder experiment by himself has not felt anything wrong, but put those cast Bronze cannons here. No one who can train the gunner can stand the constant sound of gunfire ...

"Okay, I'll let them change places at once!" Lorist also shouted by pulling his neck, otherwise no one could hear what was being said.

He waved to let Schwartz order the gunners to stop practicing artillery firing, and then calm down before talking.

After all, the gunfire stopped, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

Grandmaster Sid took Yulian Grand-master down from the artillery driving range, and they both wore face masks and earmuffs.

"Lord(s), here you are." Grandmaster Sid took off his earmuffs and said, "It's so quiet, it's a bit uncomfortable without the rumble."

"Both of you are crazy!" Professor Bob muttered loudly.

"Haha ..." Grandmaster Sid and Yu Lian Grand-master laughed.

"Lord(s), the 36 Bronze cannons that have just been cast have been tested for already and all are qualified. Now they are practicing for new gunners. Grandmaster Sid has added a sighting device on the Bronze cannon. Soon, already can hit five or six out of ten rounds. "Yulian Grand-master reported.

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your efforts." Lorist thanked him and asked, "Yes, did you get the gun rack that I said back? Have these Bronze guns been installed in the ship's cabin? , Not on land, you need such a heavy solid gun mount. "

Grandmaster Sid replied: "Lord(s), I got it, but it is not the type of wire spring gun rack you described. We have failed many times without the wire spring. Later Grandmaster Fellin thought it could be used for reference. The belt made of tendon leather used for the retreat of the crossbow vehicle can also achieve the purpose. We are now testing it, and the effect is quite good at present, and there is no large displacement when the artillery is fired.

"In that line, first equip twenty-four Bronze guns with the same gun racks, transport them to Bullhorn Bay and install the Storm, and let the gunners get on board to practice. The other twelve Bronze guns also need to be replaced. Field practice, do not quarrel with Professor Bob here. "Lorist said.

"Yes, there is another problem with the Lord(s). Those gunners reported that it would be useless to play on land. When the boat arrived on the ship, it would fluctuate with the waves. At that time, it may not hit ten rounds. So the gunner We think it's useless to aim right now and hit the boat long enough, do you have any way? "Grandmaster Sid asked.

"Eh? This is a good solution." Lorist had seen a movie about the development of the navy during the Russian Ross tsars. The scene of how to train warship gunners in it still remembers clearly: "After choosing a new training site near the sea, The muzzle is facing the sea, and several large swing racks are built, the area is the same as that of the ship's canopy. Move the Bronze cannon to the swing rack, and put a few boats or wooden models on the sea a few hundred meters above the water. For artillery launches, these targets are used. When launching, the swings are first simulated to simulate the undulations of the sea. In this way, the more gunners can learn, the better they will be at sea ...

In the next ten days, Lorist was busy training the sailor gunner of the USS Storm, while handling the family Territory at the port, and then anxiously waited for Potterfang to return the news of reinforcement Silowas Islands.

There is also good news in Territory. Barrek Father worked hard for more than a month at the paper mill, and finally produced white paper. Lorist rewarded the people who developed this white paper, and then ordered Barrek Father to expand this. The white paper production workshops form a series of production structures. For example, the waste from the production of this white paper is just used to make toilet paper, and then a paper cutting factory is formed. This white paper is used to make folders of various specifications. Books, blank albums and other finished products, and then take them out for trading.

In addition to the success of papermaking, the Mancheni technicians in the glass production base also brought two new products to Lorist, one is a magnifying glass with a gold frame, and the gold handle is also carved with a delicate pattern, which looks like It looks needless to say that this must be the craftsmanship of the old silversmith.

The second thing is that a technician from Mancheni made a pair of exquisite transparent teapots and teacups with oil glass. After Lorist rewarded him, he pointed out that the transparent teapots and teacups look very elegant, which may not be big To please some upstarts, if you can carve some delicate gold silk patterns on the edges of these teapots and cups, then you can raise the price of these transparent tea sets to sell for a higher price. Technician Manchenie left.

After another seven or eight days, just as Lorist was looking forward to wearing, the flying fish of Chenxi appeared in the distance and hurried toward Bullhorn Bay.
