Chapter 97 Rear Admiral Wilson
Three days have passed since the large-scale beast attack.
Afterwards, small groups of wild beasts invaded one after another, but they no longer posed a threat to the garrison at Chenshuang Ridge.
Judging from the experience of previous years, the darkest moment has been passed.
As the temperature gradually warms up, the threat posed by the cold wave will gradually decrease, which heralds the arrival of spring and victory.
Without the assistance of the Royal Capital, this year's victory in the face of the beast tide in Chenshuang Ridge would have been extremely hard-won.
Because of this, the lords who guard the front line have an astonishing reputation in their territories.
Even Blueberry, the little elf in the forest outside the town, learned about Yeats's heroic deeds of sticking to the front line from Ridgeleve, and couldn't help but look at this human with admiration.
The little fairy Blueberry flapped her small wings and flew around the girl in the red hood. She laughed and said:
"The nobles I heard described in poems are all fat-headed guys. I didn't expect that. Yeats is quite powerful.”
Reggie Leif held the staff with longing in her eyes, and recounted Yeats's deeds of repelling the ghost army alone, and said softly:
"Without Mr. Yeats, I'm afraid Chenshuangling would have been a long time ago." It must have been invaded by those ghosts..."
A trace of surprise flashed in Blueberry's eyes.
From the description, it is not difficult to infer that the ghosts are the infamous Wild Hunt.
Blueberry once communicated with the natural spirits located on the seaside. It is said that wild hunting will appear on the vast ice sea.
Unexpectedly, Yeats actually had a way to deal with the Wild Hunt!
Blueberry was in a complicated mood. Thinking of the task of 'ripening berries' given by Yeats, he muttered in a low voice:
"It seems that I can't be lazy anymore..."
January of the year 1459 of the Sacred Calendar.
The dawn breaks through the clouds and illuminates the frozen pine needles. The square in the center of Morning Frost Ridge is decorated with ribbons. The town's carpenters and assistants are building a stage in preparation for the upcoming celebration.
Yeats announced that a fireworks celebration would be held at Morning Frost Ridge, which aroused an extremely enthusiastic response among the people. Everyone rushed to tell each other, praising the lord's generosity and wisdom.
Fireworks are rare to see, not to mention that in the border territory of Chenshuang Ridge, many civilians will never see fireworks more than once in their lives. This fireworks celebration will undoubtedly arouse the enthusiasm of the townspeople!
Following Yeats' letter invitation, the Starlight Chamber of Commerce's pack arrived with fireworks. The leader was a halfling male named 'Holland', the second-in-command of the Chamber of Commerce.
In the living room.
Holland was short and chubby, with a friendly smile, his fingers crossed, and a gemstone ring on his thick fingers. He was filled with emotion when facing the list of Warcraft materials given by the manager Derek.
"The Baron has achieved such huge results in the face of the beast tide, which really makes me admire you! To be honest with you, I have received instructions from the leader and will purchase this batch of Warcraft materials at a price that satisfies the Baron. I also hope that the noble Baron will , we can further cooperate with the Starlight Chamber of Commerce in the future!”
Although the status of the merchants in the Zhongting Continent is low, the Merchant Guild is a force that cannot be ignored.
Their headquarters was established in the water city of Veneto. They hired extraordinary people and mercenaries with gold coins. They had branches all over the continent, but they were often suppressed by the Holy See.
The Starlight Chamber of Commerce is one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Golden Lion Kingdom. It is mainly active in the northern provinces of the kingdom and competes fiercely with the Beluga Chamber of Commerce in the central plains.
There are no less than ten minor nobles like Baron Blanche in the northern province. In the past, Holland didn't take it seriously. After all, the title of baron can be bought with gold coins.
But now, the situation is different.
The Baron led the territory through the beast tide, which is enough to prove his ability and potential!
Holland originally thought that Lena Starlight had made a mistake and would invest in a remote place like Morning Frost Ridge.
Looking at it now, how else can one be said to be a leader? The goat-bearded old man discussed the acquisition with Huo Lan again, and secretly estimated that the price was indeed satisfactory.
When all the transactions are completed, the Baron can receive more than a thousand gold coins at a time, which is equivalent to the purchasing power of more than a hundred cows.
Even though Derek was well-informed, he couldn't help but be shocked by this number.
But there is no greed in his heart, only admiration for the lord. After all, without the leadership of the lord, it would be impossible to survive the beast tide!
Derek entertained Holland to stay at the inn in the territory, returned to the Lord's Mansion, and reported the transaction to Yeats.
“A thousand gold coins…”
Yeats's eyes flickered, and he took a sip of tea to calm down his inner excitement.
This money is enough to buy a large three-masted ship. It is a huge sum of money for Morning Frost Ridge, and it is more than enough to invest in a brewery.
The shipbuilding technology of this era is still in the age of sails. Only powerful naval forces such as the Golden Lion Royal Navy and the Ice Sea Black Crow Flag Pirates are equipped with artillery. The other navies still use gang-hopping tactics and collision tactics. Lord.
Even for extraordinary beings, the sea is merciless and cruel. When three-ring extraordinary beings encountered a navy equipped with artillery during a naval battle, they all remained silent.
The fourth ring is different. After all, most of the fourth ring extraordinary people have mastered the ability to fly.
Yeats does not yet have the energy to form a naval force, but he can seek help from outsiders -
"Not exactly an outsider."
Yeats murmured to himself:
< br>"The predecessor's brother is serving in the Royal Navy. It seems that he is already a rear admiral. He may become an admiral in the future..."
The predecessor's brother is named Wilson Brondie, and he inherited his father's count. titles and most fiefdoms.
Owning a good port in the middle of the Golden Lion Kingdom, he is also regarded as the most famous genius among the younger generation of the Golden Lion Kingdom.
Compared with his dull brother Kuchiki, Wilson opened the Circle of Life as early as ten years old. Now at the age of twenty-three, he is already a three-ring strongman with a promising future.
In addition, Wilson was also a top student at Tame River University. After graduation, he joined the Navy and served in the navy. Taking advantage of his father Brondi's old relationship with the king and his extraordinary talents, he was promoted particularly quickly.
This brother's attitude towards his predecessor was quite friendly. After all, Yeats's existence did not threaten his interests.
Coupled with a layer of family ties, Yeats felt that he could still persuade him to eliminate the pirates around Whitefish Harbor.
Of course, the brother also has to settle accounts clearly, and asking him for help will inevitably cost a sum of gold coins. From a long-term perspective, this deal is quite cost-effective.
“We still have to wait until spring to regain Whitefish Harbor and establish maritime trade routes.”
Yeats thought to himself: “At the moment, we still have to be wary of the movements of the ancient white dragon. In Candela After killing Isidora, try to take Gray to the scene to absorb the dragon soul..."
As a dragonborn, Gray has a very special way of absorbing the dragon soul, which requires close contact with the dragon's bones. .
Once she is allowed to absorb the dragon soul of the ancient white dragon, even if it is only a small part, Yeats feels that she can be promoted to the third ring.
"Although I'm a little reluctant to let go, with Hilud's temperament, I'm afraid she will still return to the north to fight for the throne..."
Yeats thought to himself: "I still have to continue to train Gray. After all, she He is also my important combat force...and legal advisor!"
