Broad World

?? Willen used to be an important coastal town in the Kingdom of Tethyr, an outpost against the pirates of Neranthir, and an extremely important fishing pier. It has been besieged by the enemy many times in history, but it has never fallen , So it also won the title of a city with strong walls. At its most prosperous, the number of residents in the city was close to 20,000, and it was very popular with sea adventurers.

　　 Plenty of food and a relaxed and happy life used to be the pride of this place, but everything was completely destroyed by the army of dark elves gushing out of the ground a few months ago...

Perhaps for most surface creatures, the tall city wall is a barrier that is difficult to cross, but in the eyes of the dark elves who are prospering in magic and divine arts, this thing is no different from a layer of gauze. You can easily sneak in and open it. The gate of the city was followed by a tragic massacre. Except for a few elite who were captured as slaves, none of the others ran away.

From the elderly to the babies, even domestic animals, poultry and dogs were not spared, just like locusts crossing the border, leaving only dead bodies everywhere, a large number of ships that had not had time to escape were abandoned at the docks, and many wooden houses were completely burned down. , A city is completely transformed into a ghost, and the cry of the undead can even be heard at night.

A few months ago, Antlaib led the rebellious dark elves, human soldiers, and underground gnomes to simply clean up the entire city. The corpses were transported outside the city for burying, and the burned houses were also cleaned up. The human soldiers stayed where they were, but they returned to the ground, found a location near the underground river, and started to build the underground city.

Not long after, Suli followed Henry’s order and took part of the Neranthir pirates, dragged his family to Willen, took over the control of the city, and made it a strong fortress again. With the flag of the Kingdom of West Hartland up, half of his pirates also transformed into the kingdom’s navy.

　　 The arrival of the pirates brought some life to the city. The population has also recovered to about 6,000, of which between 3,500 and 4,000 can directly fight, especially those sturdy pirates who often wear the pirate flag. As long as you are sure, rely on geographic superiority to looting merchant ships belonging to Amn, and then make a lot of profits by selling stolen goods and captured ships, so that the city's commerce can be restored to prosperity in a short period of time.

　　 Of course, this prosperity is only superficial. To some extent, Velen is not like a city, but more like a pirate port. Even the forests of Wildas often come to buy some living supplies, although they look down on those rude ones very elegantly. Pirates, but still very satisfied with the goods.

Due to the high towers for the airships built in the city, it was very convenient to come from Sodennisla in the past. The airships from Baldur’s Gate and Bluewent City went straight to here, followed by the wizards leading through the magic fan lock , Shipped to their designated warehouse. It is dozens of times more convenient than before, and the goods of the Elf Country are also being shipped out continuously and sent to various cities for auction.

Relying on the agreement signed between Henry and Elves Queen Elise, Su Li took almost no effort to manage everything properly, gave full play to the advantages of the trade transfer station, and successfully attracted a large number of businessmen to come. Some are from civilians in Amn.

　　Because they didn’t know that the pirates who robbed merchant ships set out from here, and some even thought that the Kingdom of West Hartland planned to occupy and develop the peninsula. So they want to come and see if there is a chance to make a fortune.

　　 After all, everyone knows that the goods produced in the Elf Nation are not worried about selling, but this kind of business is not something you can do if you want to do it. Elves are very proud races. Before gaining their respect and recognition, even if you have a high social status in human society, no amount of money will be useful, and they will not sell it to you at all.

　　In the past, the elves of the Wildas Forest rarely communicated with the outside world. They only made some deals with some familiar chambers of commerce when they needed living supplies, and the goods they provided were usually pitiful.

　　 But it's different now!

　　 All fools can see that Sodennisla and the Kingdom of West Hartland are in close contact. In addition, the story of Henry's army saving the elven kingdom is being sung by the bards everywhere, and the merchants instantly understand that the relationship between the two will not be shaken for hundreds of years, so they want to get a piece of the pie.

They don’t have a big appetite, they just want to get some ordinary elven goods. After all, elves start to appear frequently in Willen, which means that there will be elves settle here in a short time. As long as they have a good relationship, they will definitely get Some share.

　　 Anyway, the West Hartland Kingdom monopolizes high-end products, and dismisses ordinary goods that are not particularly profitable.

　　 Looking at the city outside the window a little bit of revival, Su Li's face showed unprecedented satisfaction.

　　 As a person who used to operate fighting beasts and gambling in the Bronze Crown Hotel, he never thought that he would have such a day, which is simply more outrageous than the protagonist in the story of the bard.

You must know that half a year ago, he was still a small person in the slums of Ascatla. In just a few months, he was forced to become a servant because he lost all his belongings because of a gambling, and then went to sea to kill the pirate king Deshali. K, took over tens of thousands of Neranthir pirates, and finally became the governor of the West Hartland Kingdom stationed in Willen.

　　 To sum it up in one sentence, the ups and downs of life are too fast and too sudden. If he hadn't had a big heart, he might have died from excessive fright.

After all, Su Li is not a strong professional, nor is he a knowledgeable and intelligent learner. He is just a villain who has been at the bottom of the society for many years. His character is relatively slick and he just wants to be able to Just live a whole life in peace.

　　 But who would have thought that fate had made a big joke. Now he is not only the governor, but he controls more than two thousand armies and countless pirates. A single order can even cause a devastating blow to Am.

Ever since Nesis sent the Ascatla merchant ship's route continuously, all the pirates have gone crazy. According to the above intelligence, almost every attack can be achieved, especially a ship full of gold, silver and After the jewel colony galleon, they instantly detonated their enthusiasm. Although their own losses were also very heavy, they were not worth mentioning compared to the harvest.

　　 In order to keep the secret, Suli had to send the pirates who became rich overnight to the secret base in the Neranthor Islands, while hiding the goods for fear of being known by others.

　　Because he now has an official status, he knows that some things can be done in private, but they must not be grasped by others, otherwise it will easily lead to wars between countries.

In addition, what he now most hurts is that Mulan, the second largest port city of Amn, not far from the city, is showing less and less friendly behavior. Perhaps the local ruler discovered the secret of pirates, or it may be commercial competition. In short, it happened when the guns were wiping off and the fire escaped. Fortunately, the two sides have maintained restraint, but are facing each other at sea, and the ground forces have not yet shown any signs of mobilization.

The reason for Mulan’s restraint was the fear of the strength of the West Hartland Kingdom and the attitude of the Elf Kingdom. Although their strength was far stronger than Willen, they did not dare to be true. They just showed their strength and threatened. .

There are two points about Willen's restraint. On the one hand, Su Li did not get the permission to start the war. On the other hand, the strength he controls on the surface is indeed not as good as Mulan, even though there is a coalition of dark elves and underground gnomes not far away. A new city was built in the gloomy region, but he couldn't command the opponent at all.

　　 To sum up, the two cities can be regarded as typical two-sided fears, unless one city falls completely, otherwise it will be endless.

Just when Su Li was considering whether to write a letter to Baldur’s Gate asking for his opinions, the door of the Governor’s Office was suddenly pushed open, and the guard came in with a delicate badge and bowed: "My lord. , A ship full of slaves came to the port, and the owner asked me to hand it over to you, saying that you will understand after reading it."

　　 "Oh? Show it to me quickly." Su Li stood up and took the badge.

　　 As the saying goes, I don’t know, I was shocked when I saw it. He immediately became nervous after just a glance, and subconsciously touched the mark on his forehead with his hand.

　　 "My lord, what should I do with this ship? According to my experience, the slaves have a ferocious appearance, and their faces and arms are tanned. They must be pirates from the South." The guard explained cautiously.

　　 "Let it go! No, I'll take a trip myself."

　　 Suli will never forget the moment he was branded, and at the same time he knew that this was Henry's personal badge, and he always carried it with him. Now that the badge appeared, then I must have set foot on the land of Willen.

　　 As a villain who is proficient in flattering, he knows that this time is definitely the best time to show loyalty, so he didn't hesitate to board the carriage and rush towards the dock.

If he wasn’t sure if Henry wanted to keep a low profile~www.ltnovel.com~ I’m afraid he would have turned the whole city upside down, held a grand welcoming ceremony, and then presented more than a dozen beauties, maybe even at that time. Can be mixed with a noble title or something.

　　 Sitting in the spacious carriage, Su Li tightly held the badge flashing with a faint magic halo, lowered his voice and asked: "Can you describe the appearance of the ship owner?"

"Of course, the owner of the ship is a handsome boy who looks fourteen or five years old, but he always wears a hood, so he can't see his face clearly, and the ship is a bit weird. There are only a few sailors on the ship. , But the slaves showed no signs of riots. Obviously, they seemed to be afraid of something."

　　 The guards did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly said what they saw. As a person who had escaped from the dark elf city, he thought this matter was full of weirdness, so he hurried to report it.

　　 "Fourteen-five-year-old boy?!!!" Su Li immediately frowned when he heard the news.

The last time he saw Henry was on Brinroe Island, so his impression was still in his twenties, and he was instantly lost in confusion, and he was a little unsure of who had come... (to be continued.)【 Fafa Bookstore without pop-up reading]
