Can My Battleship Be Upgraded?

No matter how shocked he was, the tenacity he developed during ten years of being hunted allowed Wang Dong to remain calm.

He faced the scrutiny of everyone with a smile, without showing any panic or unconfident embarrassment.

This made several people who were also observing him couldn't help but nod secretly.

A pleased smile appeared on the baron's face.

I didn't tell Wang Dong in advance, just because I wanted to see what answer he, the eldest son who had been performing amazingly in the past period, would give when faced with this unexpected situation.

So far, so good.

At least, it's no problem if you don't rush in when you're in danger.

Except for a little confusion and surprise at the beginning, he quickly adjusted his emotions and maintained a calm and composed attitude. There is nothing to blame.

The Baroness's eyes were a little complicated.

Even after in-depth communication with the Baron himself, Wang Dong's position as heir was accepted by default.

But the better Wang Dong's performance at the moment, the more complicated her mood became.

On the one hand, the outstanding Wang Dong can bring enough protection to her two biological daughters, Guan Nan and Guan Bei.

On the other hand, Wang Dong's identity as an illegitimate child reminds him all the time that this is the child conceived by her husband and another woman. As a woman, how can she have no grudges.

There are also a few insiders like Shen Fugui who are also carefully observing Wang Dong's performance.

As vassals of the baron, the subsequent heirs of the baron also represent their allegiance in the future.

Wang Dong's ability directly determines their future life direction.

After the uproar, some objections naturally emerged.

Most people just whispered that the choice of heir was, after all, a private matter in the Baron's family.

Although the choice of heir is related to the vital interests of all barony vassals present.

But the fishing boat in private can guide, but when the baron himself makes a clear decision on such a formal occasion.

Most people could only whisper.

Except for a few people with ulterior motives.

"Sir, do you need to be more careful before making a decision?

After all, His Excellency Wang Dong has just returned to the Baronial Palace and has not received any training regarding heirs before.々.

The person who stood up bravely was a middle-aged man.

He has dark complexion, is short in stature, and has a scar as thick as a thumb on his face.

Wang Dong recognized him.

Lord Yue, one of the eight knights of the Blackstone Barony.

In his previous life, he had a close relationship with Wang Jinqiu, and finally escaped from the barony with Wang Jinli.

"Yes, sir, your body can fully support it for a while longer, so there is no need to make such a hasty decision.

Whether His Excellency Wang Dong can become a qualified heir or not, it still needs time to observe!"

The one who echoed was another knight, Zuo Leng.

Wang Dong only has three words to describe him: pretty boy.

Zuo Leng is the fourth son of a noble family. He has no inheritance rights, so he chooses to work alone.

He worked hard with the baron for many years and made many great contributions, and was still awarded the title of "knight".

A "knight" was not a member of the aristocracy.

However, as an important supplement for the aristocracy to maintain its own strength and rule the civilian class, "knights" have always been regarded as "quasi-aristocratic".

In fact, knights who have a high chance of mastering the Fire Battleship have a much greater chance of being promoted to a member of the aristocratic class than ordinary people.

As the fourth child of a noble family, Zuo Leng could become a knight, which was a good path for him.

But among the eight knights of the Blackstone Barony, not all of them own Fire Battleships.

Such as Zuo Leng.

His family cannot equip all children with a fire warship.

In the auction that Wang Dong just participated in, the price of a first-generation Fire warship was as high as several thousand source coins.

And the price of a second-generation ship is actually not that cheap.

Although the source point acquisition rate of second-generation ships is only half that of first-generation ships, second-generation ships also mean that they have experienced the accumulation of a generation.

Depending on the quality of the shipboard modules mounted on the second-generation ships and the comprehensive evaluation level of combat power, the prices of the second-generation ships also range from high to low.

High, much higher than the first generation ship.

Even if it's low, it won't necessarily be much lower than the first-generation ship.

Spark ships have never been a cheap commodity.

The same is true even among the aristocracy.

The Blackstone Baron also does not have enough financial resources to equip all knights with fire warships.

Zuo Leng is different from Yue Jun.

Yue Jun was pulled into the chariot by Wang Jinqiu because he wanted to return to a prosperous place like the Capital Star Territory to enjoy the rest of his life.

Wang Jinqiu was able to do this.

But Zuo Leng still has fighting spirit.

He wants a Fire Battleship [even a low-level multi-generation ship].

In his previous life, although he supported Wang Jinli, he did not back down in the final battle for the barony.

Wang Dong didn't care at all about Yue Jun and Zuo Leng's objections.

He didn't speak.

At this time, he shouldn't be there.

The objections raised by the two people were directed at the baron himself.

If Wang Dong hurriedly went up to refute, he would be too ignorant.

At the same time, it is also easy to leave a bad impression among the vassals of the barony.

He just smiled and turned his attention to the positions of brothers Wang Jinqiu and Wang Jinli.

Just now, it was because of their constant signals that Yue Jun and Zuo Leng had to step forward.

The baron was also speechless, and just looked at the two of them lightly.

No need to say anything, the pressure caused by this kind of gaze caused large drops of sweat to begin to appear on their foreheads.

This shows the Baron's influence in their minds.

But the two still held on.

The Baron certainly remains majestic.

But everyone understands that this kind of majesty (Zhao Dezhao) can no longer last long.

After all, Wang Dong was born as a commoner. Whether he can take the helm of the Blackstone Barony is not something that can be seen in the short term.

Given the current situation in the barony, the ship may capsize at any time without a capable helmsman.

The promises given by Wang Jinqiu and Wang Jinli are quite sincere, and they have sufficient ability to fulfill them when they are guaranteed in the name of their family.

In addition, it can be seen that the Baron's sudden decision to declare Wang Dong as the heir did not seek the unanimous opinions of other people in advance.

still have a chance!

`~ His Excellency Wang Dong is wise and brave, and is an outstanding candidate for heir. I agree with the Baron's decision. "

Before the baron could speak, the first person to stand up and refute was Chen Shayi.

As one of the eight knights in the barony, compared to Yue Jun and Zuo Leng, Chen Shayi's military exploits were more prominent.

His opening made Yue Jun and Zuo Leng's expressions change. .
