Chapter 201 Assassination Operation
After arranging to dig channels and build embankments in the swamp, Frederick seemed not to want to leave in the city of Amstel. He rented the most luxurious mansion. In addition to spending money every day, Spend money.
He first visited a university in the city of Amstel. This university has more than two hundred students and teaches history, medicine, philosophy and theology. After seeing that the university's library building is extremely simple, After the collection of books was reduced, two thousand florins were immediately donated to build and enrich the new library.
This university embarked on the fast track of development because of this library, and eventually became one of the top universities on the North Sea coast.
At a dinner that night, Frederick heard a shipping businessman complaining about the inconvenience of not having a new lighthouse after the lighthouse at the mouth of the sea was in disrepair and collapsed, so he immediately offered to donate 400 florins to build it. A lighthouse that is tall enough and strong enough, and paper and pen to draw the idea of the Fresnel lens on the spot.
Later, the lighthouse became a local landmark and was printed on the back of banknotes in the paper currency era. The Fresnel lens was finally manufactured many years later through the efforts of many scholars and craftsmen.
The next day, an organization called the Zoological Society came to the door. The three leaders of the society hoped that Duke Wesson could invest in building a garden to raise animals for people to visit.
Frederick immediately gave them two sums of money, and allocated 100 hectares of land to the west of Weissenburg City for them to build two identical buildings. He also proposed that the exhibition hall should restore the appearance of animals as much as possible. life scenes.
That night, when he returned from a dance, he found a group of night watchmen holding torches patrolling the night in the howling north wind. The torches were blown out from time to time.
So he went to the city government the next day and said that he would donate a thousand high-brightness magic lamps to night watchmen in the entire lowland area. Now he has sent people back to adjust the supplies.
On the third day, Frederick made big news. He reached an agreement with the bishops of the lowlands to donate a reading room to each church and open it to everyone.
On the fourth day, Frederick reached out to the tax department and said that he would give away ten calculators, and gave one for his own use to them to familiarize themselves with, indicating that this one would not be counted among the ten. in.
This morning, after Frederick got up, Altasha helped him get dressed. At this time, Tony came over, and Altasha immediately left the bedroom.
"How's it going over there?" Frederick asked, sitting on a chair.
Tony replied: "Report to the Commander, Deputy Chief Helmut called. At present, all ministries have been deployed according to the previously reported plan. Now, with the cooperation of Baron Wesson and other local lords, fortresses are being built at key intersections. Black The cat has crossed the Elbe to reconnoiter ”
Frederick nodded, as long as everything goes as planned.
The wireless communication equipment can communicate with the front within an hour after passing through a relay in the middle, and will not lose control of the army because it is separated from the main force.
Frederick picked up the wooden shoes and put them on. This kind of wooden shoes is a local specialty. It is carved from a large piece of wood and is strong and waterproof. In order to appear to have something in common with the locals, he specially ordered a pair.
"What about the city?" he asked again, "What new topics do the gentlemen and citizens have?"
Tony hesitated and said: "Many people think the commander is a fool. , only some businessmen who have been to Wesson think you are going to create another miracle.”
"There is also a rumor that someone may be trying to harm the commander, it seems to be a pirate in the North Sea."
Frederick smiled, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and you can see the sea from here .
"Others laugh at me because I am too crazy. I...well...I don't laugh at them. After all, they have their limitations and there is no need to be too demanding on everyone."
He said When he said this, his face was full of confidence, and he didn't take the news that someone was bad for him to heart at all.
There was no legend about him in the city of Amstel before, so when he did things he did not have the aura he did in Wesson. People around him were watching his every move with suspicion.
He doesn't care anymore, wait until next year, he will give the entire lowland area a small Wesson shock.
Seeing that the commander was not worried about the pirates, Tony didn't say anything, but asked: "Aren't you worried about them swallowing up those lands?"
Frederick looked through the window. Looking at the not-so-calm sea, he calmly asked Tony: "What do you think can be done to conquer an area with the least effort?"
Tony scratched his head and tentatively replied: "Please Richard Nall." The master takes action."
Frederick said with a smile: "Then he will be busier than the Ami donkey in the village."
Tony thought about it again, and finally shook his head. This kind of thing was too far away from him.
The corners of Frederick's mouth raised slightly, and then he said: "Don't reveal this topic to anyone. Let's go. We are leaving tomorrow. There are still many things to do today."
Tony He immediately shut up and thought, could the Commander spending money now have something to do with conquering this place in the future?
In the restaurant, Françoise prepared breakfast. When she saw Frederick coming over, she said happily: "I made the croissant you mentioned."
Frederick found a few croissants on the dining table. They looked decent and tasted good. Psyche had already eaten half of them, which meant they were pretty good.
Françoise asked Frederick: "Where are you going today?"
After sitting down, Frederick replied: "I'm going to the church's orphanage in the morning. It's time to pack things in the afternoon."
Françoise seemed very calm and put the breakfast in front of Frederick and said, "Let's see if it tastes good. If it tastes good, I'll make more for you later."
Frederick smiled and nodded.
At this time, someone came over and whispered a few words in his ear. He narrowed his eyes slightly, whispered a few words to the person, and then did what he should do. After breakfast, Frederick took Tony and the box containing gold coins and set off. He did not take Dawn with him here, but rode a rented horse.
Frederick placed the box on the shelf behind the saddle and tied it tightly.
When they walked across a bridge, a dozen people suddenly jumped out of the water. Most of them attacked Tony. A few people rushed towards Frederick with shouts. One person Approaching quietly from behind, twenty or thirty people who originally looked like citizens rushed up from both sides of the bridge with weapons drawn.
This bridge is not far from the city center, and there are many pedestrians coming and going. The sudden attack made people panic and suddenly became chaotic.
Frederick took a look and did not look panicked.
He also saw Tony put on the gas mask with a calm face, and was speechless.
When the large army came to change ships, they caught up with the burning swamps around the city of Amstel. The whole city was shrouded in smoke, so the entire army wore gas masks.
This seems to confirm a rumor that Duke Wesson's troops are actually terrible devils, but sometimes they turn into human form.
People who make a living at sea believe in gods and ghosts, but they just watched Tony put on a gas mask and for a moment they just thought he was pretending.
However, what happened next moment made these pirates a little frightened.
Two fists are no match for four, and Tony inevitably gets stabbed several times when faced with the siege of a group of masters.
However, the pirates found that the sword seemed to be struck on the iron plate after passing through their clothes, and the force of the shock made them almost let go.
Tony's military uniform was cut open, revealing the black skin underneath.
“Have you not eaten yet?” This guy was still in the mood to ridicule.
Tony's body-building skills from the peach blossom stone were brought back by Psyche. Some improvements have been made over the decades. Recently, they were optimized by Psyche and started to be promoted in the military this year.
What left Frederick speechless was that this magic had a name on the Peach Blossom Stone that made him complain: Iron Shirt.
That’s right when I think about it. When you practice this Kung Fu, your skin will turn black. Ordinary iron will turn black after being left for a long time. There is nothing wrong with calling it that.
I saw Tony's fists surrounded by blue light, and the "battery ram" that could knock away iron cans hit those pirate masters, one punch at a time.
Frederick was too lazy to watch him show off, and his enemies were getting closer.
But he didn't move, and the pirates thought he was frightened.
A white shadow flashed, and the assassin brother never took action a second time. All the pirates who were close to Frederick had their necks wiped, and then disappeared without a trace.
The pirates disguised as ordinary citizens rushed onto the bridge. Unexpectedly, two more people jumped up from the river.
The tall, muscular and tattooed barbarian brother jumped in front of Frederick and roared at the enemy in front. The howl that struck directly into the soul made these people feel unprecedented fear.
The pirates paused for a moment as if the Internet speed was stuck. In this moment, the barbarian brother rushed over with a broadsword like a door panel. The scene was like chopping a watermelon.
Behind Frederick, a silver-haired girl wearing a maroon skirt, a dark red cloak and a hood waved the sickle in her hand and swept across the pirates who rushed onto the bridge from behind.
The few pirates who rushed at the front were scratched, and blood-red light poured out from the wounds and was completely absorbed by the scythe.
Those pirates died, and Frederick found that he was suddenly very energetic.
The pirates following behind turned around and ran away. Sharp arrows shot from not far away pinned them all to the ground. After a while, all the arrows dissipated into magic elements.
In a few moments, the pirates were all wiped out by the elemental puppets summoned by Tony and Frederick, leaving only corpses on the ground and blood filling the air.
In a room not far from the bridge, two people watched everything happening on the bridge through the curtains, not missing a single bit.
"The guards around him are very strong." A person said in the Venede language of the Piast Kingdom.
He waited for his companion to answer, but the other party made no sound. He suddenly saw Duke Wesson turning his head and looking this way, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
He suddenly felt a pain in his neck without warning. Blood was instantly poured into his lungs, and the feeling of suffocation instantly filled his mind.
When the two corpses in the room were discovered by the landlord, Frederick had already left by boat as if nothing had happened and arrived in Hanma City.
