Chapter 915: Expansion (1)(1/2)
Chapter 915: Expansion (Part 1)
In July, summer has arrived, and a news is circulating in nearby coastal territories.
"Have you heard that? The Red Skull Pirates was wiped out by Lord Romon's fleet."
"Yes, a public trial has been held and the rest of the pirates have been hanged, it's so satisfying!"
"I heard that Lord Romon also sent some of the seized goods to the lost chamber of commerce. This is so fair and generous. It is said that many merchants cried bitterly on the spot and expressed their gratitude."
"Hmph, during the trial, these pirates also confessed to three merchants that accepted pirate dirty goods."
"I heard that these businesses... have the background of the Glorious Church!"
"Shh, you dare to say this, don't want to live?"
Ignoring the discussions, engineering was underway in Romon's territory.
"This project is very big!" Fafer, who came to patrol, said with emotion, looking at the almost constant material transportation team.
On the pier open space where the materials were almost piled up, Romon, Fafer and Nick walked side by side, looking a little strange. Romon's expression was very serious. Fafer was a little excited, and Nick had a bitter face.
"Yes, can the project be not big this time? The height of the gold coins piled up will definitely make people exclaim like you." Seeing that Fafell was so excited, Nick said a little depressedly.
"Hey, I'm talking about Nick, why do you always look frowning?" Fafell patted Nick on the shoulder. "It's a good thing to expand the Mage Tower. Don't be so depressed. You have to believe that the gold coins spent today will one day roll back in several times or even dozens of times."
"I hope so." Nick nodded and said.
In fact, he also knew that this mage tower was very important and had very important military significance, but when he thought of the amount allocated, Nick had a stomachache.
He didn't know that Romon had a huge fortune, nor did he know that there were three new projects to invest in.
Nick, who manages many matters in the territory, is very careful in everything and dares not spend a penny on places that should not be used. He can be said to have handled the matter very perfectly.
Although the territory has some money recently, the Cold War last year and trade suffered a lot of losses, so we can't spend it like this.
The officials he trained all adhered to his glorious traditions and were all very careful!
Without talking to them, Romon had already stopped and began to carefully look at the half-expanded mage tower. There was a faint smile on his face, and he was quite satisfied with the progress of the project.
"It's not bad. This project will be completed in a while. The person in charge is very efficient." Romon praised casually.
At this time, wind blew from the ground, because this was the place where materials were piled up, and sand suddenly flew up.
The three of them walked out with difficulty. When they walked back to the carriage, except for Romon, they were still spotless, and both of them had become dirty.
"Sir, I'm jealous of you." After wiping my face, Fafeer said in a muffled voice.
"So too." Nick then spoke.
Seeing that the two good friends looked embarrassed, Romon held back and even comforted them: "It's okay, just go back and take a shower."
Is there any other way besides this?
Fafell and Nick thought helplessly.
However, apart from helplessness, they had nothing to complain about. Who made Romon a big druid? There was no way. The druid had this innate advantage in nature, and who made them the guardian of nature?
After getting in the car, the three of them sat in the spacious carriage, and they were idle, so they continued to discuss the mage tower.
"After this mage tower is built, is the power and range several times stronger than before?" As the manager of the city defense force, Fafer is usually responsible for the safety and public security of the city, so he naturally pays the most attention to this issue.
Romon recalled the relevant information and said: "There will be at least twice as many times. Moreover, after the expansion into the intermediate mage tower, the mage level that can be cultivated will also be adjusted upward."
"What level will it go?" Nick also paid attention.
"About level ten, the intermediate mage tower should be able to train a level ten mage." Romon said affirmatively.
"Level 10th level mage? This level is really not low." Hearing this answer, Nick nodded, and the feeling of flesh and stomachache finally relieved a lot.
"But sir, I want to tell you something." Fafell suddenly said.
Romon smiled: "If you have anything, just say it, is it about the Mage Tower?"
"No, it's not about the Mage Tower, but this matter is also very important for territory defense." Fafell said.
"Navy?" Romon guessed what the other party wanted to say at once, but this seemed not what he should be in charge, but then he thought that in this world, the division of classes was not so strict. Besides, Fer was a nobleman and a friend, so it was OK to say some suggestions!
"Yes, sir." Seeing that Romon had guessed the answer, Fafer simply said all his thoughts: "Our navy was once very powerful, but in the battle between humans and elves, you contributed to the Temple of the Goddess of the Earth. The fleet commanded by the Goddess of the Earth was wiped out on the battlefield. Although the Temple later gave you a lot of compensation, a naval fleet could not be trained with gold coins. We now have only three battleships. Although the size and function of the warships are much stronger than the previous fleet, the three are still too few."
Speaking of this, Fafell sighed: "Although I am not mainly responsible for the sea, after all, the overall defense on the territory is still under my control. I cannot ignore such a big loophole. This will be very unfavorable to the defense of the territory."
After hearing this, Romon patted Fafell on the shoulder.
"Actually, I have thought about what you said, but I have been busy with other things before and delayed it. Let's do this, and immediately prepare for the new ship. Once the new warship is built, we will actually train the new navy. What do you think?"
"Well, okay, but the scale of the new warship..." Fafell thought for a moment and said, "At least, it should not be worse than the previous three ships. Now, we cannot just ask for quantity. There is not much meaning in the number of warships. It is better to control the quantity within an acceptable range and focus on improving the quality of the warships and the combat effectiveness of the navy."
"I agree with Fafell. The last time we created the Fifth Fleet was too large and we had to give up in order to avoid trouble. Now, although our strength has improved greatly from before, you are an emerging aristocratic family after all, and your foundation is not as stable as those old aristocrats. When those old aristocratic families first established their careers, they all seek stability and solid foundations. Only in this way can the newly-launched houses not collapse in the wind. Looking for stability step by step is the way to establish a career." After listening to Fafell's analysis, Nick immediately agreed.
Romon naturally understood the words of the two good friends, and he nodded: "Then let's build two more warships, five warships, if trained properly, can fight one against five and ten."
Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is not too far away.
However, in Romon's heart, he was not only building two ships, he was planning to launch two ships a year until he had ten warships.
As for the issues of foundation and identity, becoming a legend is not an obstacle.
In this way, the three giants of Tetashau made a very important decision to stabilize and defend the territory on a beautiful morning in a spacious carriage.
In the following days, Romon would go to the dock every day to watch the expansion of the Master Tower.
It has to be said that the officials trained by the Tetashau leader are quite qualified, and with the lord's supervision, the progress is quite fast.
On this day, Romon came over to watch again, but this time, he brought someone.
It was Silod who was taken over by him.
After dealing with this matter, he hid for some time and started to move.
This man is only a sailor now, but with his talent, as long as Romon does not deliberately suppress it, he will rise quickly.
This time, I happened to meet him, so Romon watched it together.
"Silod, what do you think of this mage tower?" Seeing that Silord had been looking at the direction of the mage tower, Romon asked with a smile.
"Very practical. If it weren't for this mage tower, maybe the Red Skull Pirates wouldn't have been known to the people in the port so easily, right?" Silod said.
"Well, you're right. This mage tower is very important and practical. In order to make it more practical, it's worth spending many gold coins to expand it." Romon said with a smile: "Now, we want to make it more practical."
"You are really different from ordinary nobles." Feeling a certain aura that Romon showed, Silod turned around, and his eyes couldn't help but shifted from the mage tower to Romon.
"To be honest, although I have seen many nobles with wisdom, you are the first person who can regard money as light as possible."
This is a compliment, but Romon shook his head and said nothing.
First of all, he doesn't seem to value money. Doesn't he like it?
He was not so careless, because the wealth he had was enough to do something, and the part he spent was simply a small part, so he was so confident.
Secondly, no matter how smart this guy is, he is still a low-level person and has a broad vision.
Many people have this wealth when expanding the Mage Tower, but why not?
It is because of the royal family and the mage union.
Neither the royal family nor the mage union, nobility is allowed to build and expand the mage tower at will.
Romon also became a legend and did this.
"I am not as detached as you think. I do this just because it can bring me more benefits, several times or even dozens of times or dozens of times."
"Why don't you do such a profitable business?"
After hearing this, Silod nodded. His current master was an ambitious man, which was enough.
"Okay, today is the day to launch the warship first. Let's go there first. After a while, it's time for the others to come. Shakater is the commander-in-chief of the warship. You will help him in the future. You need to communicate more between you." Romon said while leading Silod to the distance.
Shakat is a qualified governor, while Silod is a qualified think tank. If he and Shakat can cooperate well, this new fleet will definitely become very powerful.
Of course, it takes Silod to climb up from the sailor's position first.
After a while, they came to the stands. Sure enough, someone had already come. Shakat also came, and Romon asked him to exchange experiences with Silod.
Romon walked to Nick and Fafell himself and started talking in a low voice.
After a while, two new warships with extremely high quality and scale were launched under the gaze of everyone. From then on, the navy's warships expanded from three to five.
Thanks to the design of a new type of warship, these five warships are no less than the previous fifteen, and Romon's naval power has been organized again.
"Wansheng!" Seeing this scene, many people cheered.
Almost at the same time, a mage entered a mage tower.
The wizard hurried through the corridor and came to a room at the end of a passage.
The mage stepped forward and knocked on the door gently. A male voice came from inside, and it came out: "Come in."
Pushing open the door, the mage lowered his head, took out an envelope with body temperature, and held it up with both hands.
"What's the matter?" The male voice didn't answer, just asked.
The mage raised his head. In the bright room under the magic lamp, a middle-aged mage was at his desk reviewing documents without even raising his head.
But the mage did not dare to be a little negligent and replied respectfully: "Master Lusidi is the message from the Mage Tower of Aps City."
To be continued...
