Chapter 757: Defeat (Part 1)

Enter Tertashaw, lately. Good things keep going.

First, Romon was promoted to a druid of the sixteenth level, and after that, it was the king's decree to confer the earl.

After being busy for half a month, the territory just became quiet.

One thing happened to the Mage Tower set up in Yuanfan Port.

"Did you encounter any special situation today?" Debiru, who was wearing a mage's robe, walked up from the steps below and walked into the operation room at the top of the tower, asking.

Five silver threads shone on the robe, representing the status of a fifth-level mage.

There are five mages working in the operating room. They are responsible for checking the situation at sea, collecting various information, and screening and checking the information.

The work is very busy, but they have no complaints. On the one hand, they are well paid. On the other hand, they can use the mage tower to learn magic. This is the treatment of a few people.

With the mage tower, these low-level mages have improved rapidly in the past year.

The layout of the operating room is quite in line with Romon's usual aesthetics, except for the necessary equipment. There are a few green plants placed in the corners, adding a touch of beautiful green to this clean and tidy environment.

"Lord Debiru, nothing special has been found." The mage in charge of checking the situation at sea turned around and said to Debiru.

Debilu nodded: "During this time, pay close attention to the situation at sea. The Third Fleet is in a decisive battle with the pirates. Whether it wins or loses, situations will happen at sea. You must observe carefully."

"Lord Debiru, don't worry, these days, we have divided into three shifts to observe the situation at sea. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, we will observe the situation at the same time. Once there is a situation, it will never escape our eyes." Responsible The mage who checked the situation at sea said respectfully.

Debilu walked over to another person and found that he was making some records. Some of the data on it were very detailed. Debilu nodded in satisfaction, talked to several mages again, and went out.

Walking down from the highest level of the mage tower, I came to the first level. Here is a restaurant for processing food, which is divided into three levels. Debiru directly came to the place with the highest level.

"Master Debiru, are you here for dinner?" A chubby chef greeted Debiru with a smile.

Don't look at this chef looks chubby,

He looks harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, he is also a three-pole warrior. It is through selection that you can come here to work.

Don't look at him as an ordinary cook, who in the territory doesn't know that anyone who can get a job in the mage tower is trusted by big shots?

Such a person has a great chance of being promoted in the future.

Debilu replied with a smile: "I'm here for dinner, what's delicious today, give me one, first for one person, I'll eat here, then prepare for five people, I'll bring it later Walk."

"Okay, please wait a moment, I will prepare the food right away." The fat chef smiled and expressed his understanding.

Debiru nodded, walked to a table in the dining area, pulled out a chair, sat down and waited.

in the air. There was a faint fragrance, which could be vaguely discerned as a plant smell. However, after a while, this smell turned into the aroma of food.

The dining area was also designed by Romon himself. It is similar to some restaurants he had visited in his previous life. In this place, the tables are half-separated by plants, which will not give people the feeling of being completely isolated from the world. And it won't make people feel innocent.

The ground is smooth but not slippery. Walking on it will not cause you to fall due to stepping on oil stains.

In fact, in this small restaurant, such things as oil stains will never be seen on the ground, and the environment here has really reached the point where it is spotless.

Debilu only waited for a while, and the food made by the fat chef was brought out by the fat chef himself, and placed in a clean tray, a plate of cooked meat, a plate of vegetable salad, a bowl of broth, a A small plate of snacks, a pot of milk tea, and a small cup.

For the Mage Tower, expensive tea bricks are always available.

Putting the things in front of Debilu one by one, the fat chef said: "Master Debilu, please use it slowly. I will pack the five copies for you when you leave."

"En. Yes." Debilu nodded.

Fat Chef withdrew afterward, and Debiru used up the share here by himself. When he left, Fat Chef brought a carrying case and handed it to Debiru.

"Master Debiru, do you want me to get it back for you?" The fat chef asked.

Debiru is the leader of the Mage Tower, and as a subordinate, he naturally served him well.

"No, I can mention it alone." Debilu refused with a smile.

The key reason is that above the second floor, non-mages are not allowed to enter. Debilu, like his grandfather Lu Lun scholar, is an elegant person, but he is extremely principled in his conduct.

Saying goodbye to the fat chef, Debilu walked up to the operation room of the Mage Tower step by step with the food box in hand.

In the past few days, because the operators of the entire Mage Tower have focused on the sea situation, there is no room for negligence, Debiru, who is a little free in the team. It arranged all the daily expenses of the subordinates in the recent period, so as not to distract them from doing other things.

Regarding this naval battle, in fact, Debiru is not very optimistic.

The first is that the situation of pirates is more serious than before. In the past, there were a few groups of pirates, but now there are dozens of groups of pirates, and when combined, they are not on the same level at all.

Second, although there was an extra fleet in the team to exterminate the pirates this time, the second prince and the eldest prince had always been at odds, and he had already seen some signs of it. Especially the eldest prince Hai Lancha, who is conceited and proud, not as intelligent as Prince Xiu Senya, but still likes to insist on his own ideas on many things, so it has caused some hidden dangers.

Under such circumstances, Prince Hailancha insisted on sweeping up the pirates. When Debiru heard the news, he could only express himself speechless.

In fact, the range of the mage tower is the largest, only fifty miles nearby, and the area of ​​​​the naval battle is far outside the area. However, in order to prevent problems, vigilance is also being carried out near the sea.

Shaking his head, Debilu stopped thinking about it, and walked out of the operating room with the food box in hand.

Pushing open the door, I found that the atmosphere inside was not quite right, everyone was watching nervously as if they had discovered something.

On the big screen is a condensed map of the nearby sea. However, a mage is expanding the scene in a certain corner one by one, and seems to have discovered something.

"What's the matter?" Debilu put the food box aside and asked.

"Master Debilu, you came just in time, look quickly, here!" said the mage who was observing the scene in a corner.

After listening to Debilu, he hurried over to look.

At the place where the sorcerer was looking at, there were more than a dozen light spots moving from outside the detection area to the inside at a very fast speed.

"Detail their information." Debiru's face became serious.

"It's being detailed, look!" While detailing the information, the pastor looked at it suddenly. He exclaimed.

Debiru and several other mages looked over, and saw that on the gradually expanding screen, more than a dozen warships could be vaguely seen.

"Continue to elaborate." Debiru ordered.

"yes!"

"My lord, look quickly, there is a boat chasing them!" the mage exclaimed again.

Sure enough, behind the dozen or so warships, there were more than a dozen ships chasing after them at a certain distance. Judging from the situation before and after, it is very likely that those behind were chasing soldiers!

Debilu immediately joined the ranks of operations, and with his slender fingers, he issued a few instructions on a magic circle for operation.

Immediately, on the top of the mage tower outside, a powerful force, like a hurricane, quickly rotated from the center to the periphery.

"It can already be seen clearly that the third fleet led by Prince Hailancha is in front!" At this time, someone recognized the flags of the battleships in front.

And those chasing ships behind, no need to ask, are naturally pirates.

Judging from the type of ship, it is definitely not the type of the Third Fleet.

"There is trouble, immediately notify the lord and the governor Shakat." Debilu just said this, and then fell silent.

"Yes, my lord!"

The mage tower has a special magical connection with the lord's villa, and a message was sent immediately.

After a while, the messenger immediately conveyed the order to the governor Shakat.

Fifteen minutes later, Captain Shakat immediately issued an order to let the navy leave the port.

Seeing this situation, the pursuing pirates stopped their attack and retreated slowly.

Then, the remnants of the Third Fleet entered the port for repairs.

King Peter of the Kingdom of Esk suddenly received a big gift fifteen days before his sixty-fifth birthday. Rancha.

"What did you say? The Third Fleet was defeated? Only twelve warships escaped?" When he heard the news, the once wise and mighty king was having a meal. Hearing this, even the fork in his hand dropped I didn't even know it was on the table.

"Your Majesty, the news from the sea is indeed true..." The official in charge of delivering the news was extremely regretful.

Anyone who comes to report this kind of news will not get a good face. If the other colleagues hadn't run away one step ahead of him, he wouldn't have come to see the king lose his temper!

Snapped! The king slapped the table with a slap, and swept all the dishes in front of him on the ground, turning them into pieces all over the place.

This situation made the official lower his head even more, not even daring to look at the king's gloomy face.

"It's really my good son, it's really my good son, out of forty warships, only twelve were brought out for me...Hmph!"

The king was obviously very angry. He didn't even eat his food. He stood up and walked around in the hall. All the people serving in the hall tried their best to maintain the habit of plants, and they didn't dare to show any air.

At this time, whoever offends the king will be unlucky.

There was only one internal servant, instructing the servants, to carefully clean up the mess.

"Send me to Lord Fcam."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Twenty minutes later, Count Fakam appeared before the king.

At this time, the king had basically calmed down, sitting on the throne, with no one around, with a blank expression on his face, he saw Earl Fakam, and he said: "Earl Fakam, you already know the news? "

"Understood." On the road just now, after spending some time, I already knew the inside story clearly and had an idea.

"Do you have any idea?"

"Your Majesty, the top priority now is to counterattack immediately and take back the lost prestige and ships." Earl Fikam said.

In this era, due to the lack of cannons, the general naval battles were to rely on each other and soldiers fought each other, so ships generally would not sink.

The twenty-eight warships are now in the hands of the pirates. If they are not taken back quickly to allow the pirates time to form their combat effectiveness, this matter will be serious.

"There is nothing wrong with this point. Do you have anything else you want to tell me?" the king said.

This made Earl Fikam smile wryly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, I have looked at this matter, and it is one-sided!"

"The encirclement and suppression of pirates has been carried out for a month and a half, and has won many victories. His Highness Xiu Senya proposed continuous operations. The soldiers were exhausted. The reason for going back to rest is completely sufficient, and there is nothing to criticize."

"The most important thing is that His Royal Highness Xiu Senya wrote a letter to His Royal Highness Hai Lancha when he was retreating, asking him to retreat and rest together. I have read the letter, and it is very earnest, and the analysis is also in place. It is straightforward and clear. , The soldiers have been fighting for a long time and are very tired, so it is very unfavorable to fight the pirates at this time."

"Without this letter, His Royal Highness Hai Lancha insisted on fighting, and he could still think that the victory and defeat of military strategists are commonplace, but with this letter, with all due respect, His Highness Hai Lancha, no matter what, he could not get rid of his self-willedness and willful will, which led to The result of the defeat of the Third Fleet."

"Your Majesty, the Third Fleet is an old fleet of the royal family. Many officers in it are descendants of nobles. This time the casualties are heavy. There are at least 30 noble families in the royal capital who will hold funerals."

"Whether His Royal Highness Xiu Senya intends it or not, no matter what schemes you have, at this time, you have to make great use of him. He must be the one to restore the strength and prestige of the royal family."

"Under such circumstances, with all due respect, Your Majesty, the matter is irreversible." With that said, Earl Fikam knelt down: "I beg Your Majesty to make a quick decision."

Under this kind of state system, the thirty nobles have compromised their excellent sons, and they have formed a terrifying force.

Finally, after walking for a while, the king had a gloomy face and finally made up his mind. He glanced coldly at the man kneeling below: "Okay, you go down first, I already know about it, soon There will be a purpose."

"Yes, Your Majesty," said Earl Fcam. (!)
