Start with Island Lord

The sailor's shout attracted the attention of everyone on the ship, and everyone on the ship tensed up.

The first mate immediately asked loudly: "Report the details!"

The sailor shouted immediately.

"Mercemen! There are many sea mercemen on the shore!"

"There are also many in the water, more than a thousand!"

"They are attacking the sturgeon dock on the shore!"

As these words came out, everyone on the deck looked towards the coast.

The captain and the first mate used glass telescopes, while the mages used eagle eye magic.

Rosen did the same.

In a mirror in front of him, the situation on the coast two kilometers away was clearly shown.

I saw groups of sea mercemen rushing to the coast, densely packed, and the number was frightening.

Most of them were warriors, and their weapons were mostly harpoons made of fish bones, and they were charging towards the earth wall of the dock fearlessly.

About one-tenth of them were mercemen spellcasters.

Some of them sprayed water arrows similar to high-pressure water streams at the dock, some summoned pure water puppets that were more than one person tall, and others released pure water defense barriers for mercemen warriors.

Although the performance of these spells is very weak, they have caused great trouble to the defenders of the dock after cooperating with the warriors.

Let's look at the direction of the dock.

The entire dock is built with a circle of earth and stone walls more than five meters high.

The outside of the wall is tattered, with many old traces of battle on it. Some uncleaned fishman remains can be seen underneath, which shows that it is often attacked by fishmen.

There are many ragged defenders standing on the wall.

There are also many defenders, estimated to be more than 600.

There are men, women, young and old, and everyone is a soldier.

The weapons of the defenders are also varied, mainly iron harpoons, but there are also simple weapons such as hammers, hoes, and wooden sticks, and even many stones.

In short, use whatever you have.

Some mages can also be seen among the defenders, about a dozen in number.

They release very common low-level spells, such as throwing, arcane missiles, fire bombs, etc.

The spells were weak and the mana was meager, so most of the time these mages would rather throw stones.

Rosen looked around and found that the strongest mage was about 40 years old, with mana reaching the early intermediate level, but he only had one move, arcane missiles.

He specifically released arcane missiles at the murloc mage in the back, causing good damage to it.

Unfortunately, there were too many murloc mages, and his mana quickly ran out, so he had to pick up a stick to play a cameo as a warrior.

But nature has its own perfect matching mechanism.

Although the defenders fought ugly, the murlocs were average, so the two sides fought back and forth, and the defenders even had a slight advantage.

But the number of sea murlocs continued to increase, and even almost reached 2,000, and the dock defenders began to gradually fall into a disadvantage.

The flagship of the three-ship fleet where Rosen was, seeing the fierce battle at the dock, the captain of the flagship quickly walked to Rosen's side.

"Baron, the only dock of the Sturgeon Island is ahead, but we can't land like this."

The first mate shouted anxiously: "Captain, don't even think about landing, we must leave quickly, otherwise we will be affected by the battle at any time!"

Can we leave now?

If we leave.

The Sturgeon Dock will be destroyed by the fishmen, and the defenders in the dock will definitely be slaughtered by the fishmen.

As the lord of the Sturgeon Island, Rosen must not watch the tragedy happen.

He sighed in his heart: "The island's welcome ceremony for me is really wild."

He immediately pulled the captain over: "I will increase the freight by 100 Oggs, and I will be responsible for the subsequent damage to the cargo ship and the pensions for the casualties!"

"Keep going!"

The captain was speechless and immediately shouted loudly.

"Keep going!"

"All sailors, prepare for battle!"

The sailors on the mast immediately signaled the following ship with flags.

These days, sailors engaged in maritime trade often deal with various dangers, such as pirates, sea fishmen, sea sirens, etc., so each of them has rich combat experience.

Since Rosen, the employer, is willing to pay, they are naturally willing to temporarily play the role of mercenaries.

But the sailors of the three ships add up to only more than 200 people, while the number of sea fish people has exceeded 2,000, which is not easy to fight.

So strong warriors are needed.

The captain's strongest warrior is the 100-man Flame War Corps led by Lord Hammer Yopp.

Rosen walked over quickly: "Captain, you need to take action next."

Yopp was upset because of the previous incident. Seeing that the other party took the initiative to ask for help, he sneered in his heart: "Hehe~ Little Baron, you still have to rely on me for the war, and now I have to make you surrender!"

Thinking of this, he pulled a gloating smile on his face.

"Baron, of course our Flame War Corps will take action, but brothers..."

"500 Ogg commission!"

Rosen didn't say a word of nonsense.

He is not short of money now. He already has 40,000, and Muradi sent him another 20,000, which has reached 60,000 in an instant.

500 Oggs is just a small expense for him.

‘Uh~~~’

Yop’s subsequent words were choked in his throat.

Most of the members of their Flame Corps were born as commoners, and some were poor nobles.

Compared with ordinary people, their lives are naturally more decent, but because they often deal with big people and have seen the world, their daily expenses are much higher than ordinary civilians.

But there has been no large-scale war in Shire County for many years, so their income only depends on military pay and the daily rewards of the earl.

But the earl has no money recently.

Although military pay remained unchanged, rewards were significantly reduced.

As a result, every member of the group obviously felt that their money was tight.

Even the leader of the group, Yopp, found it difficult to come up with 50 Oggs of spare money.

Now Rosen gave 500 Oggs in one breath, and he was dealing with a group of unworthy fishmen. He was simply giving them money.

Just when Yopp was debating whether to take advantage of the opportunity to raise the price, Rosen said: "Should we fight? If you don't fight, I will do it myself."

"They are just a bunch of stupid murlocs. We, a group of mages, cursed and killed their leader, and the remaining murlocs will naturally disperse."

Yopp agreed very much with this. A group of stupid fishmen had only mid-level magic power. The magic master could definitely kill their leader easily, not to mention the opponent had two magic masters.

If I feel any further hesitation, the 500 Oggs will be gone.

He nodded immediately: "Do it! Of course! But give me the money first!"

Rosen nodded to Aaliya, who opened the cash box and took out 5 arcane coins.

‘Ding Dong~~’

The gold coins collided together and made a breathtaking sound.

"Arcana gold coins, one 100 augurs, exactly 5."

The dark blue arcane coins shine with a breathtaking brilliance in the sunlight.

Yopp felt his heart pounding. Any mortal who had seen the prosperity of the world could not resist the great charm of these little cuties.

The leader of the group, Yopp, was born a commoner, but he had seen countless upper-class prosperity, so he felt particularly attracted to it.

He took the arcane coins, stuffed them into the money bag on his chest and put them away carefully.

"Don't worry, Baron, these fishmen will be left to our Flame Legion to deal with."

He turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Guys, cheer up and come to life~~"

‘Wow~’

The members of the battle group who originally looked a little lazy straightened their bodies the moment they heard the order, and their spirits were as tense as a bow, like a tiger awakened by its prey.

This is the unique spirit of an elite team.

Rosen knew in his heart that things were safe, and his evaluation of Jopp also increased.

‘A money-obsessed man deeply bound by social rules’.

If you abide by the rules and love money, then things will be easy for you in the future.

He turned to Selena and whispered: "Madam, cast a psychic echo spell on me, and I will cheer up the dock defenders."

"no problem."

Soon, the three-ring psychic spell "Psychic Echo" was applied, and at this time, the cargo ship was less than one kilometer away from the dock.

Both the defenders on the dock and the fishmen in the sea had already seen three cargo ships approaching quickly.

The top commander on the dock wall is senior knight Tato, and there are two lieutenants under him who are intermediate knights.

The three men and a group of militiamen were struggling to deal with the murlocs coming like a tide.

I thought I would definitely die today, but I didn't expect that at the most helpless moment, three large cargo ships came.

Although they didn’t know the purpose of the other party’s visit, they were still from the same human race, so a lot of hope suddenly arose in their desperate hearts.

He didn't care who the opponent was, he used the harpoon to stab the fishman warrior who climbed up the wall to death while shouting loudly.

"Brothers~Hold on~We are here to reinforce you~~"

Not long after he finished speaking, he heard a huge sound coming from the cargo ship on the sea.

"I am Baron Rosen Saxony, the eldest son of the late Baron Ted. I am back from Dawn City~~~"

"My people, I have seen your bravery and your plight. There is no need to be afraid~let alone despair~the powerful warriors I brought will destroy the dirty and smelly fishmen!"

Knight Tato was stunned when he heard this: "The eldest son of the Baron? The new Baron?!"

In fact, he was not the only one who was surprised, all the men, women, and children in the entire Paddlefish Pier were shocked.

The same doubt circulated among the crowd.

"The baron's good-for-nothing eldest son is finally back?!"
