Chapter 376: Pressure (Part 2)

"It's heavy rain today, so there's no need to leave. Let's go if the rain stops tomorrow!" Romon said.

The current harsh climate and road conditions make it difficult and dangerous to travel, so Romon is certainly not so harsh.

I have to say that Romon is still too young now, his vassals are too young, and there are no large number of children.

"Yes, sir!" Lu Lun looked at the empty room and said with regret.

According to normal circumstances, there must be a group of teenagers (girls) and a group of guests in the castle or villa, and they should serve them at this time.

These young men were all sons sent by vassals. They trained martial arts at the vessal's house, cultivated feelings and obedience, and learned etiquette and knowledge.

Hunting is an important part.

It is not only an entertainment activity, but also a good way to practice tactics and increase combat capabilities. It improves combat wisdom and courage in hunting, which is an important way to conduct military training for aristocratic teenagers.

And the teenagers who are in the hunting field will be appreciated by the noble ladies and ladies in the hunting team, and may also be appreciated by the lord.

It is a considerable expense to bear many years of living expenses, but teenagers are not pure consumers. They also have to do a lot of work outside of military training every day, and those work is very hard.

Caring for horses, looking after hunting dogs and falcons, waiting for awakened owners, receiving guests, keeping weapons, and even participating in battles are very difficult, which is conducive to removing the arrogance of noble young people and cultivating truly combat-capable nobles.

The girls often go to the lord's villa to chat with their wives, learn etiquette, spend time, and form a lively family.

The number of guests generally represents the lord's authority and forms a hidden center of power.

But now, the Romon family has lost this little.

However, even so, there is still entertainment, dancing, playing cards, and playing chess. These are all good ways to spend time. Just as Lulun was about to leave, Romon ordered: "Let Fafer and the others go to my villa in the afternoon, and I will invite them to have a banquet in the evening and hold a meeting by the way."

"Yes, sir!" Lu Lun said with a bow.

Such relaxed time flew by, and dusk was coming in a blink of an eye, and a solemn and grand dinner was about to begin.

And outside, it was still raining, and of course, the rain was much lighter.

At this moment, a carriage was trekking hard on the road.

The businessman Sohad was sitting in the carriage he had just purchased, with a sad face and sighing endlessly.

The news that several businesses were destroyed and a lord was destroyed by pirates spread quickly. On the night of the incident, the owners of more than a dozen businesses gathered in the chamber of commerce.

The next day, more than a dozen carriages filled with goods came from the location of the county commerce alliance towards Tetashaw. The representative recommended by the commerce alliance was Sohad.

"Mr. Sohede, maybe things are not as bad as we thought. I heard that the naval commander in charge of the pirates was the kind-hearted Lomon. Lord Lomon is a very tolerant and brave man. His reputation is well-known throughout the county, and his morality is incomparable to other noble masters. Now several businesses have been wiped out by pirates, and a lord's territory has been completely lost by pirates. What a serious matter, he will not sit idly by, right?"

This gorgeous carriage was driving fast on the road leading to Tetashauling, both the driver and the person inside were nervous and worried.

There was a caravan alliance logo outside the caravan caravan caravan caravan. At this time, there were two people in the caravan. In addition to the representative of the caravan alliance who came to inquire about the whims of Romon, the merchant Sohad, there was also a very handsome young man who looked like a guy. However, judging from the situation where he could sit in the same caravan with his boss, he seemed to be a nephew of his family, so he could sit with the boss and be deeply trusted and loved by the boss.

Seeing Mr. Sohad sighing, the young man couldn't help but persuade him.

"What you said makes sense, but...ah, this matter is very urgent for us, very urgent. However, for this Baron with a good reputation, it is not so urgent. What we are worried about may not be what he is worried about. Whether he can send troops immediately is really worrying. After all, this navy has only been established for a short time. If he had made an excuse to train for a while, God knows what will happen to the nearby commerce banks. Even if this Lord Romon can express sympathy for our situation, it is still worrying whether the navy he trained can send troops as soon as possible..." Mr. Sohad's thoughts are of course different from the young man's nephew. He may not believe the rumors, so he smiled bitterly.

Mr. Sohad, the representative sent by the caravan alliance to request Romon to go to the army as soon as possible, is about forty years old. He is a middle-aged man with a beer belly. His round face has very ordinary facial features. However, the combination of small eyes and big nose makes people feel intimate at first sight.

At this time, he was obviously trapped in an extremely worried mood and could not extricate himself.

It is obvious that Mr. Sohad did not have much confidence in whether the Wang Navy could launch troops as soon as possible.

Although the whole county was spreading about how kind and brave this Romon was, he saw too many hypocritical nobles. Can this reputation really represent reality?

Moreover, it is not an equal thing for a small businessman to deal with a nobleman of high status. Even if something unjust happens, it will not have any bad impact on the Baron.

And they have to take the actual risks, and the more they think so, the more worried Mr. Sohad becomes.

Seeing that his face had turned pale and the sweat on his head began to drip, the nephew who was sitting next to him couldn't help but speak again: "Mr. Sohad, have we brought a gift? I believe this Lord Romon will be very happy to see him. Our situation is indeed critical, but the coastal nobles are also anxious. I believe that under this situation, Lord Romon will definitely send troops as soon as possible."

"Well, I really hope that he can send troops as soon as possible after receiving the gift." Sohad sighed. Thinking of the precious gifts loaded on the carriages behind him, he felt a little confident and no longer sighed like he had just now, but the expression on his face was still full of worries.

Seeing that the merchant Sohad fell silent, the nephew stopped saying anything. For a moment, the two people in the carriage could no longer hear any other sound except listening to the sound of horse hooves outside.

Because he knew that the baron's office was newly established in Yuanfan Town, the carriage of the Caravan Alliance did not stop in Panshi Town, so he rushed straight to Yuanfan Town.

At this moment, a meeting was being held in a conference room in Panshi Town.

As the convener of the meeting, Romon, who had a rest for a while in the afternoon, pointed to the map on the wall with his hand. His slender fingers gently drew around the position of the Lord's head, and his eyes passed by everyone present.

"That's how it is. After the storm, the pirates quickly plundered a lord's lord and destroyed four businesses. However, from the map, their purpose may not be simply to plunder population and wealth. It is very likely that they should use this to give each lord a warning or a demonstration. What do you think about this?"

Today he was wearing a blue robe embroidered with an eagle. Six pure gold buttons on top and bottom were not buttoned, but were loosely draped on his body. A soft cotton and loose belt was tied around his waist, making his waist look thin and wide shoulders, and he was quite elegant. His eyes swept around everyone and finally fell on the Lulun scholar.

The status of this great scholar in the Tertashau leader is not comparable to that of ordinary civil servants. In the entire Tertashau leader's civil servant team, only Nick, who grew up with Romon, can be compared with him.

At this time, Nick was thinking about something. Only scholar Lulun looked at the map ahead, and Romon naturally looked at him.

"Lulun Scholar, what do you think?"

A clear voice echoed in the conference room. Even Nick, who had been thinking about things, couldn't help but raise his head. He first glanced at Romon, and then looked at Lu Lun sitting beside him.

The scholar Lulun was calm and saw Romon asking him, he organized a language and said, "I think there is a great possibility that the adult speculation is that the coastal aristocrats suffered a great loss some time ago, and then they held meetings and planned to build a navy. If the pirates don't know about such a big deal, it would be abnormal. The main purpose of their move is to provoke, demonstrate, and perhaps the purpose of looting is smaller."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nick nodded softly although he didn't say anything.

Expressing his agreement with the opinions of Lulun scholars.

Fafer, Hevavi and others also expressed their opinions in turn.

Everyone's views were very unified, and they all thought of the provocative intentions expressed by the pirates. But they thought of how to break this situation?

Romon stared at the map for a few more glances, then sighed softly: "The pirate's nest has not been found yet, and the newly established naval training level is not enough. If you just send troops rashly, some problems may arise, but if you don't send troops as soon as possible, you're afraid..."

He didn't say the following words, but his confidants and subordinates present understood that if they continued to make trouble like this, they would be afraid that they would not be able to send troops, after all, the pressure was very high.

Just as the meeting was halfway through, someone suddenly came in to report that it was the representative of the business bank who wanted to meet Lord Romon.

"Take them to the reception room and I'll be there in a while." Romon said, pondering for a moment.

"Sir, let me go." At this time, Nick stood up.

The two looked at each other, and Romon probably understood Nick's intention and nodded: "Okay, let's go."

Then he turned around and told the man, "Just say I'm in a meeting, and Lord Nick will go and meet them."

"Yes." The servant took the order and went out.

Romon knew very well what it meant to send representatives to the business at this time, so he briefly explained a few more words and ordered scholar Lulun to pay attention to the situation nearby and nodded to Nick.

Nick immediately walked out with a serious expression on his face.

In the conference room, tea cups and fruits have been placed on the table.

Romon did a great job in entertaining guests.

No matter what level of guests come, they can enjoy a cup of fragrant tea and a portion of fruit, and the servants are very polite.

However, Sohad, a representative of the business company with concern, seemed very worried and restless. As a friend, the nephew who accompanied him did not follow in, and his identity was particularly strict at this time.

At this time, Sohad, who was just staying alone in the room, began to consider countermeasures after meeting.

Dongdongdongdongdong. A sound of footsteps came toward this side. Listening to the sound, the person who came was wearing horse boots, which was not something that ordinary servants could wear.

Because the corridor was covered with the best wooden floor, Sohad easily heard the sound of footsteps.

He stood up nervously and tidied his clothes. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Nick, with a serious expression on his face, walked in from outside.

I met before and knew that the person who came was not Romon, and the other party's identity and status were still much higher than that of him. Sohad still bowed to Nick with some restraint.

Nick nodded and motioned him to sit down.

"Are you Lord Nick? I am Sohad, the representative of the business bank. This time I came here to ask when the Wang Navy will be able to send troops." Seeing that the other party was not very talkative, Sohad simply gritted his teeth and asked directly.

"Mr. Sohad, don't worry, when it's time to send troops, sir will definitely send troops. It won't be long. So, please rest assured that the pirate problem will be solved as soon as possible." Nick answered readily.

This is no different from not saying it, so Sohad was naturally unwilling to give up and asked a few more questions. Nick came out this time just to get careless, so he naturally said that he would not reveal any water. He would not let the other party pick up bad things, nor could he let his own adults be at a disadvantage. Although Sohad is a good businessman, his words are far above Nick.

However, with different identities, Nick not only controls the baron's internal affairs, but also is a lord. No matter how good the verbal talk is, how can he really be quarrel with Nick?

He angered Nick, but the consequences were not something he could bear.

Because of this, no matter what, I can only fall at a disadvantage.

Sohad, who was disappointed, had to give Romon a gift in the name of the business, including more than a dozen vehicles of food and weapons, as well as cash worth 3,000 gold coins.

However, although Nick was moved, he still politely declined.

Sohad was also smart. After a moment of surprise, he thought that the other party might not want to accept this gift, but did not want to accept the gift so openly, so he had to change his method and propose material support to Romon's navy in the name of the business.

Nick then smiled. After Sohad left, Nick sighed softly: "Romon, it seems that things are a bit troublesome. Such a large amount of goods is not a small number, and it is not enough not to charge it!"
