Chapter 154: Getting Ready to Go
Now that it has been deduced that the target of the Crab Claw Family is him, Krober is no longer worried about Christina's personal safety.
If it was really done by some blind robbers, they wouldn't care whose sister Christina is, who should fight against her, and do what should be done.
But if it was done by the Crab Claw family, then he would follow the most basic unspoken rules of the nobility - he would not insult, beat or abuse members of the nobility.
Although Christina is no longer a member of the nobility legally, she is recognized as a biological sister by Krober, so she can be considered a member of the general aristocracy.
If the Crab Claw family wants to use her to threaten themselves, they must ensure their personal safety.
In other words, the Crab Claw family has now replaced those soldiers and fully assumed the responsibility of protecting Christina.
Moreover, the Crab Claw Family did not write to themselves, indicating that they wanted Krober to come to the door themselves, so that their side could take the initiative in negotiations.
"They really believe that I can deduce it. Are they not afraid that I am a fool?"
Krober touched his chin. He decided to go to Red Crab Island first and "borrow" some gold coins from them before becoming the Prime Minister of the Palace.
The current number of soldiers on Amethyst Island and Black Feather Island is sufficient to maintain law and order and conduct daily patrols, but it may be far from enough to form an expedition team.
So this time Krober didn't plan to take the soldiers to Crab Claw Island. He just took Yan and Mr. Foster. The three of them were enough.
Regarding the information about Red Crab Island, Kroeber already knew most of it when he was cleaning out Crab Claw Family spies on Black Feather Island.
The Crab Claw family is a viscount family. The strongest member of the family is Lucas Crab Claw, who has the strength of an earth knight. In addition, the family also has three great knights and more than ten official knights.
However, the Crab Claw family has always kept a low profile, and no one has ever seen Viscount Lucas take action, so Clobber doesn't know much about Lucas's own combat effectiveness.
But this does not affect Krober's confidence in his own strength. He believes that he can definitely be called the strongest in the Earth Knight stage.
With four characteristics and more than 700 base stations, Krober's own combat effectiveness has reached an extremely terrifying level.
Krober planned to go to Red Crab Island, also intending to verify his combat effectiveness.
The Crab Claw Family can protect such a large industry on Red Crab Island, which shows that its own strength is definitely not weak.
Then it is perfect for them to be the ones to test their combat prowess.
"Someone's coming."
Krober's voice sounded in the tent.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
The person who opened the door curtain and came in was Sam, one of the two knight squires that Krober had originally accepted in Corolla City.
When Krober was sixteen years old, he was an intermediate knight apprentice. Now more than a year has passed, and he is still like that, with no progress at all.
"Sam, go and call Yan here for me. I want him to go out with me and ask him to come and see me after arranging all the work at hand."
A serious expression appeared on Sam's fat face.
"I obey your orders, my lord."
After saying that, Sam quickly turned around and left the tent, heading to the gathering place of the tribesmen to look for Yan.
Looking at Sam's retreating back, Krober frowned.
For some reason, he always felt that Sam's whole person seemed to have become much more decadent.
Although it can't be seen from the surface, from daily training, Sam's attitude towards training seems to have changed.
Although Sam is just a servant, after all, he is an old man who has accompanied Krober to build a family from scratch, and Krober still trusts him.
If Sam's problem can be solved, with his qualifications and the resources provided by Krober, the probability of Sam becoming an official knight is relatively high.
It's no wonder that Krober is anxious. With his current status and strength, he doesn't even have a team of knights, which makes it inconvenient for him to do anything.
The Knight Squad, as the name suggests, is a team composed entirely of official knights.
There are also teams composed of big knights, and there are even teams composed of earth knights, but the names are different.
The team composed of formal knights is called the Knight Squad, while the team composed of the great knights is called the Knights United, and the team composed of the earth knights is called the Knight Team, but they prefer to be called the Knights.
For example, Archduke Veronica led a knighthood of several hundred people during the expedition, and the ordinary members were all earth knights.
The Sky Knights and Phantom Beast Knights serve as officers, and the regimental leader is personally served by Grand Duke Veronica.
Although the number of people is small, their combat power is extremely powerful. If no one can restrain this team, then they can easily destroy a principality.
Not long after, Yan, who was summoned by Krober, came outside the tent.
He first glanced at Griffin who was sleeping at the door, sighed that the griffin cub was growing up so fast, and then walked around and entered Krober's tent.
"My lord, Sam said you have a mission for me to complete."
After this period of time, Yan's lingua franca has been completely mastered, and he has been able to handle some documents that are not difficult, taking a lot of pressure off Hewell.
Krober glanced at the scar on Yanzuo's face that was imprinted by his sword and said:
"There is indeed a mission. You go back and pack your luggage. We will gather at the port early tomorrow morning and head to Black Feather Island."
After listening to this, Yan bowed without hesitation.
"Yes, Lord!"
"Okay, go get busy. When I come back, I will hold a promotion meeting.
Some of your tribesmen have been qualified to be promoted to the lords. I will personally recognize their status as lords and promise to protect their personal safety."
After helping Krober conquer Amethyst Island, Yan worked diligently and tirelessly. Krober thought it was time to give him some encouragement.
And the tribesmen of the Sea People were Yan's biggest pain point and weakness. As long as Krober could control them, it was equivalent to holding Yan firmly in his hands.
"Yes! Thank you for your kindness!"
As expected, after hearing the news, Yan became much more excited.
However, he was still able to control his inner joy and maintain a certain rationality. After calming down his mood, he bowed to Krober and left the tent.
After arranging tomorrow's itinerary, Krober took out a thick pile of documents on the table and began to annotate.
As the lord, although most of the things were handled by Hyer, some major matters still needed Kroeber to personally review and sign for approval.
For example, this document was Samuel's proposal on the establishment and conception of an intelligence agency.
The whole report was well written, well organized, and the advantages and disadvantages were listed in detail. Kroeber was very satisfied.
However, when he saw the final funding quotation, Kroeber was very dissatisfied.
