Chapter 89 Leslie's Return
(The two chapter numbers were wrong yesterday, this chapter is the real one? Chapter 89...)
————
Leslie put down the letter in his hand, looked up at the vast sea outside Port Nissi, and let out a long breath. [,
This letter was sent to him by someone from the Luerxun Kingdom Branch of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It was from Xu Yizhi, and it was more of a personal letter than an official one.
In his heart, apart from expressing some daily greetings to Leslie, Xu Yi mainly said one thing, that is, Baron Billier is about to go to the Candela Empire to organize a series of racing competitions.
After learning the news from the letter, Leslie only felt a big stone in his heart fall, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
Since the Stark family was defeated in the previous civil war of the Lampari Kingdom, the entire family has been close to extinction, and the remaining direct members, except for Leslie, are only Baron Billier and two other inconspicuous younger generation.
Originally, in this kind of cruel struggle, generally speaking, the winning party would never leave any descendants for the Stark family, but firstly, Her Majesty Queen Seweigny is kind enough, and secondly, it is also the main reason. It was Xu Yi's plea.
Because of Xu Yi's relationship, Her Majesty Queen Seweney resisted all opinions and left these sparks for the Stark family, ensuring that the blood of the Stark family would not be completely cut off.
It is precisely because of this that Leslie has a feeling of gratitude towards Her Majesty Queen Seweney and Xu Yi.
He agreed to Xu Yi as the commander of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and also mobilized some of the remaining resources of the Stark family to help form the escort fleet as soon as possible, also out of gratitude.
As for Baron Billier. Because of the relationship of the Stark family. He was able to stay in the Kingdom of Lampari and live well because of the grace of Her Majesty Queen Seweigny. As for the fact that with the help of Xu Yi, the joint venture with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can lead a life that is not worse than before, and even a lot better, that is even more unexpected.
But Leslie was actually worried all the time.
Although Her Majesty Queen Seweigny was merciful and promised not to pursue the crimes of the remaining Stark family heirs, but in the Lampari Kingdom, there have always been people who worried that the Stark family would be killed because of these few people left behind. If there are future troubles, it is recommended that Her Majesty Queen Seweigny take coercive measures against them.
So in fact, Baron Billier is only superficially relaxed and unrestrained. In fact, it is still restricted in many things.
Perhaps because of Xu Yi's relationship in Bangta City, he won't be subject to too many restrictions, but if he leaves Bangta City, he will be strictly controlled anywhere in the Lampari Kingdom.
But now Xu Yi has found this thing for him to do. As long as Baron Billier can put his heart into it, then by virtue of his kinship with Prince Frank of the Candela Empire, it is very likely that he will make a real breakthrough in the Candela Empire. cause.
The Kingdom of Lampari will restrict Baron Billier's actions within the Kingdom of Lampari, but if he leaves the Kingdom of Lampari, I'm afraid that many people in the Kingdom of Lampari will applaud instead.
After all, from the perspective of the Lampari Kingdom, such a person has some scruples. If he wants to deal with someone who is not easy to attack directly, he is willing to leave the Lampari Kingdom by himself. All are happy.
Leslie knew very well that Xu Yi did this for his own selfishness, and he also told Leslie clearly in his heart that he wanted to use the personal relationship between Baron Billier and Prince Frank to send the magic car to the Candela Empire. Promote it.
But Leslie is also very clear that Xu Yi has actually done Baron Billier a great favor by doing this, not only giving him a good reason to leave the Lampari Kingdom, but also giving him a place to work hard for in the future. The goal.
Leslie is very optimistic about the prospect of the magic car on the continent of Sainz, so as long as Baron Billier does this well, he will definitely have the opportunity to become a very influential figure in the future.
So in fact, Xu Yi has done a big favor to the Stark family this time, so that the fire left by the Stark family can be more vigorous.
"But in this case, I won't be able to leave this fleet so easily." Leslie suddenly gave a wry smile and shook his head slightly.
The more help he got from Xu Yi, the heavier the sense of responsibility in Leslie's heart.
Originally, he only hoped to accumulate experience at sea by helping Xu Yi build this escort fleet, and to build a fleet of his own in the future, but now it is difficult for him to get out so easily.
Even if he didn't mention to repay Xu Yi, but just for this escort fleet, in fact, Leslie had already developed very strong feelings in his heart.
It has only been a year since the establishment of this frigate, but whether it was the initial preparation and training stage or the subsequent stage of sea development, Leslie has been with the entire fleet and has never left .
During this period of time, the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was invincible in the southern waters of the Sainz Continent, experienced countless wars, and defeated countless pirates.
Although these battles are very easy, everyone in the fleet has been firmly connected through these battles, and Leslie is no exception.
Now Leslie is already used to this kind of life. If he suddenly leaves this fleet and this kind of life, he will actually feel very sad in his heart.
"Okay... just let me stay for a while longer. When the frigate pair grows stronger and can completely control the entire southern sea area, that guy Xu Yi should have developed the ocean-going magic ship. By then If you leave, you should be fine."
Leslie stared at the vast sea ahead and made a secret decision in his heart.
"My lord, should we go back to Thunder Island first, or go directly to the meeting place and wait?" said the captain of the flagship Sufeng, the adjutant of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and Leslie's deputy. came over and asked.
"There's no need to go back. We've just finished resupplying at Port Nissi, so we don't need to waste time, just go straight to the connection point." Leslie replied without looking back.
"yes."
Garn Sauron left at the sound.
After a while, the entire fleet adjusted slightly and headed southward quickly.
In only about three hours, the fleet sailed out of the waters of the Luerson Kingdom and officially entered the waters of the Candela Empire.
In fact, for the countries on the Sainz continent, the so-called national sea area is not a formed concept at all.
Because of the backwardness of technology, this continent does not have the ability to sail in the ocean at all. Even in the offshore waters, some old wooden sea boats can barely interfere, and it is not even possible to control it. Naturally, there is no way to really delineate any sea area.
In the endless sea, it is basically a state of disorder.
As long as you have someone with a boat, then anyone can sail on this sea at will, and you basically don't have to worry about who will take care of you.
This is also the reason why there are so many pirates on the endless sea.
However, the emergence of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce broke this chaotic and fragile balance.
Relying on the combat power and long-lasting sailing ability far beyond ordinary wooden sea ships, as well as the strong ability to resist wind and waves, the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took less than half a year to conquer the southern waters of the Rulson Kingdom and the southern part of the Candela Empire. Almost all the pirates in the sea area were defeated.
Although there are always some fish that slip through the net, under the powerful deterrence of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this huge sea area has gained unprecedented peace during this period of time.
With the frequent transportation and voyages of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's large transport fleet between the Principality of Standing and the Kingdom of Luerson, it also drove the entire waterway.
Now, in addition to the large cargo magic ships of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there are also many large and small wooden seagoing ships that shuttle back and forth on this channel, greatly improving the circulation of goods between the two countries.
Of course, the goods flowing from the Principality of Standing to the Kingdom of Rulson are mainly concentrated in various household magic machinery and industrial products such as steel, fertilizer, cement, etc. produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and some are produced by the Principality of Standing. Canned fruit and wood made from processed fruits.
The goods flowing from the Kingdom of Rulson to the Principality of Standing are mainly concentrated in various mineral resources and magic crystals.
These things, of course, are due to the needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Because of the growing prosperity of this waterway, Nisi City, a dilapidated coastal town, also developed at an astonishing speed.
Although the current city of Nisi is not as prosperous as the capital city of Kulaka, the degree of prosperity reflected in the flow of people and materials is not weak at all.
The supplies that the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had previously relied on the transport fleet led by Neval to deliver them. Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Luerson Kingdom have signed a supplementary agreement, they can directly obtain sufficient supplies in all aspects in Nixi City. .
In the first three days, Leslie led the fleet into the port of Nixi City, just to carry out a monthly fixed supply, and at the same time, it was also a vacation for the subordinates in the fleet.
These guys have been holding back at sea for a long time, and they also need to relax.
But now that the supply is over, after leaving Nixi City, the escort fleet must follow the instructions received and go to the designated location to complete the task.
The content of this mission is very simple. It is to join the second transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the waters of the Candela Empire, escort the second transport fleet into the southern waters of the Candela Empire, and establish the first phase of sea bases on the three selected islands. .
It seems very simple, but Leslie, who has been active in the southern waters of the Candela Empire for more than half a year, knows very well that in fact, this mission is likely to face very difficult problems.
If they don't handle it well, all their previous efforts in the southern waters of the Candela Empire may be in vain.
However, the more serious the problems in front of him, the happier Leslie was.
If he always bullies those pirates who have no resistance, how can he fully demonstrate his own value, how can he make him repay Xu Yi's help to him and the Stark family faster? (To be continued..)
