Start with Island Lord

Beluga Island, Sturgeon Wharf.

Sir Jop pulled out a gloating smile on his face: "Baron, are you in trouble again?"

Rosen nodded: "You should have known the situation. I think professional work should be left to professionals."

Jop chuckled: "That's right. But we are only loyal to the earl, and the earl's order to us is to investigate the black iron ore."

Rosen looked around the soldiers of the Flame Regiment and found that each soldier was gloating.

Obviously, they like to see themselves being humiliated.

Seeing this, Rosen was very happy in his heart: "Hehe, laugh, laugh, you are done laughing now, you have to fight for me well."

These soldiers gloated mainly because they wanted to make more money from him.

And for Rosen, who had a huge sum of 60,000 Oggs, money was not a big deal.

So, this is really a good thing.

So, he smiled and said, "Captain Yop, the Count must have ordered you to help me stabilize the situation on the White Sturgeon Island, right?" Yop did not deny it either: "Yes, the Count said so, but he just said it, and did not issue a clear order document." "Now my soldiers and I have been on the boat for half a day, and we have fought a battle before we got off the boat. We are tired and hungry. We must rest for a few days before we have the energy to continue fighting." After that, Yop shouted to the team members: "Isn't it, brothers?" "Yes, Captain!" The team members responded in unison. Rosen immediately stepped forward, moved closer to Yop, and lowered his voice: "Captain, I won't talk nonsense. I want to live in Crescent Castle tonight, you name a price." This is just like saying to Yop, 'Come and pick my pocket.' Yop's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously wanted to ask for a big price, but he shrank back when the words came to his lips. Because the baron had a tough personality and was difficult to control, and he was also a favorite of the earl, he was afraid that if he offered too high a price, the other party would turn against the earl and complain.

If the earl gave an order, the brothers would not only not make a penny, but also have to fight for the baron for free.

So he said cautiously: "I have to discuss it with the members of the regiment."

Rosen nodded: "Go, but don't stay too long, because the opportunity is very valuable."

Yopp also understood this, and immediately turned around and whispered with the deputy leaders.

"How much do you think we should offer?" Yopp whispered.

Ned, the deputy leader of the Crossbow Team, whispered, "He is just a small baron. He won some money from the chess game. At most, the princess gave him some dowry. He also bought so many supplies. I estimate that he has at most 10,000 Oggs in his pocket."

Harry, the deputy leader of the Mage Team, said, "How about 3,000? After all, this mission is a little difficult."

Alex, the deputy leader of the Shield Guard, said, "You are too greedy. If you ask me, 1,500 is enough. After all, there are civil unrest on the island and there are many combat missions. It doesn't matter if it's just a little bit."

That's right.

After two minutes of discussion, Yopp decided the final price.

He turned back to Rosen and said, "2,000 Oggs."

Rosen nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

He turned to Alia and said, "Give me the money. Give me 25 coins."

Alia took out 25 gold coins from the cash box and handed them over without saying a word.

Yopp had never seen such a generous gesture, and was stunned for a moment: "Baron, give me 5 more coins."

Rosen nodded: "I know, because I have additional requests."

He raised two fingers and pressed one down first: "First, change your words and put down the flag."

"After you go to the island, the islanders will definitely be curious about your identity. If someone asks, don't ask about the Flame War Corps, just say that you are loyal warriors following Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"In order to ensure that the news is not leaked, any emblems related to the Flame War Corps must be put away."

Yop immediately looked embarrassed: "We are loyal to Earl Robert, this cannot be vague."

"Alia, give me another 5 gold coins."

"Yes, Master."

Looking at the dark blue gold coins handed over, Yopp's head was a little dizzy, and his personality seemed to be divided into two.

The conscience in his heart shouted: 'Hey~Yop~This is a matter of principle, you can't change it! '

But his hands seemed to have become slaves to money, and he took the money uncontrollably.

Then, he saw himself saying in a respectful tone: "No problem, Baron, we will change it immediately."

After saying that, the conscience villain in Yop's heart vomited blood and died, and the heavy gold coins in his hand made him feel at ease.

These are 30 gold coins. Even if he has to give most of them to his brothers, he can at least keep five.

That is 500 Oggs, equivalent to his military pay for one and a half years.

Earning a year and a half of money in one day is like a dream.

Another voice came out in his heart.

"The Earl also asked us to cooperate with the Baron, so I am actually executing the Earl's orders now."

"Besides, we are still following the noble Princess Dawn, and we have not humiliated the glory of the Flame Corps at all."

The glory of a warrior is the face of the warrior. If he follows the White Sturgeon Baron, the members of the Corps will never accept it, because it will be too embarrassing to spread it out.

But following the princess is a matter of face.

Thinking of this, Yop felt that the gold coins in his hand were not hot at all.

Rosen saw everything and pressed down another finger.

"Second, the members must abide by the laws of the White Sturgeon Island. In addition to daily food and accommodation, additional services and items must be purchased in coins or equivalent items at market prices."

"I never want to see my people being humiliated, raped, or even killed."

Yop wanted to shake his head and refuse, not because he disagreed, but because he wanted the other party to pay more money.

But his conscience finally corrected his greedy crime, because the other party's request was legitimate.

So he nodded in agreement: "I will restrain my men, but we have the right to self-defense and the right to defend our dignity from being insulted."

"I agree with this."

Rosen clapped his hands: "Then that's it for now."

"You should reorganize the team now, as quickly as possible. After that, we will set off to Crescent City immediately and fight a beautiful surprise battle before the opponent reacts."

When it comes to fighting, Yop is an expert. He agrees with Rosen's idea and pats his chest hard: "Baron, give me ten minutes to prepare!"

Rosen immediately frowned: "You are the princess's follower, I am the princess's husband, you should call me 'Lord' now."

"That's uh. Okay, we will change it."

Yop felt something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was no problem.

The war was imminent, so he simply didn't want to think about it, and won first.

The knight Tato on the side had been watching Rosen from a distance. Seeing Yop start to organize the army, he vaguely guessed something and hurried over to remind him.

"Lord, the situation in Crescent City is a bit chaotic. I'm afraid it's not suitable to go there now."

Rosen smiled and asked back: "Then when do you think it's suitable to go there? Wait for my uncle to leave Crescent City by himself. Before leaving, can he help me clean the stables and dry toilets in the castle?"

"Uh~"

Tato was speechless, but he immediately told a new situation.

"Sir Alais is very concerned about the lord. Not only did he order me to report your news to him at any time, but he also arranged some secret spies near the dock that I didn't know about."

"Maybe someone has reported the news of the lord's return to Alais at this time, so you must pay attention."

This matter is indeed very important, but Tato can think of it, and Rosen is naturally prepared.

Before he landed, the No. 1 puppet sage Levin had quietly landed and waited.

At this time, the spies hidden near the dock had already been quietly removed.

He was not worried that Sage Levin would be exposed.

Because there are few people and few eyes on the white sturgeon island, the information flow is not smooth, or even closed.

In a prosperous place like Dawn City, where nearly a million people gather and magic flourishes, any slight disturbance will spread throughout the city, but in a civilized borderland like the White Sturgeon Island, Levin is much less constrained.

There are pros and cons.

On the island, the "Detection Guard" seal is not very useful, and the efficiency of collecting information is extremely low.

But from the perspective of ordinary people, Tato's reminder is crucial.

So, he nodded seriously: "I will pay attention."

He asked again.

"I ask you, have the forest elves mixed in?"

Tato looked embarrassed: "Lord, since the chaos on the island, the sea fish people have also come to make trouble. I have been guarding the dock and don't know much about the inland things."

"But I heard that for some reason, the forest elves seem to be better than before. They don't sneak attack villages or destroy farmland. They don't attack us like the fish people."

"Hmm~~ Really interesting~~"

This confirms the news from Stonard.

That is to say, after he occupied Crescent City, the other four knights might not surrender easily. They might join hands with the forest elves and fight to the bitter end.

Although it was only a possibility, he had to be prepared in advance.

As for Tato in front of him, since he took the initiative to tell him about the spy, it means that he is determined to follow him and can be used well.

Seeing that he and the two adjutants were there, Rosen turned to Alia and said, "Go to Kruber to get three new sets of iron-studded thick leather armor, plus three steel spears."

"Yes, lord."

Soon, the armor and weapons were brought over, shining brightly. In comparison, the equipment on the three knights at the dock was like rags.

Rosen said to Tato, "One set for each person, put it on."

The three knights' eyes were bright, and their eyes were fixed on the armor, just like seeing a beautiful naked girl.

They quickly changed into new equipment, and their mental state was also refreshed.

Rosen's face also became serious, and he called out the names of the three knights: "Tato! Lovihan! Ogrin!"

"Here!"

The three knights responded in unison, with high spirits.

"I order you to lead the villagers and cargo ship sailors to do your best to protect the safety of the supplies and the people left behind. Is there a problem?!"

Tato took the lead and shouted: "Lord, swear to complete the task!"

"Very good. Let's organize the defense now."

Rosen turned back to the cabin.

After a while, 'Rosen' reappeared, and he had changed his appearance.

He was wearing a pure black refined crocodile dragon leather armor, a high-level induced defense amulet on his chest, a sharp knight's magic sword on his waist, and a brand new rune dagger on the side of his leg, looking capable and strong.

This ‘Rosen’ walked quickly to his wife Selena: “Madam, wait for me at the dock, Alia will keep you safe.”

Selena was slightly surprised: “What about you?”

‘Rosen’ grinned: “I will join the Flame Regiment and participate in the raid on Crescent City.”

“I will go with you.”

Before she finished, Rosen interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "Madam, I believe in your courage, but you are not a battle mage, so it is safest to stay behind."

"My magic power has also improved a lot these days, and I also have advanced induced defense magic tools and various potions to assist me, so there will be no danger."

"Madam, you also have a mission. Our supplies are very important. If the sea fish people attack again, you will need to take charge of the situation."

Selena understood: "Okay, leave this to me."

Rosen strode towards the Flame Corps.

At this moment, the Corps has basically assembled.

Yop glanced at Rosen with some surprise in his eyes: "Male Lord, I suggest you wait for news at the dock instead of going to the battlefield in person."

Rosen patted the Knight Guardian Sword on his waist and smiled lightly: "There is no lord who retreated on the White Sturgeon Island. You are not familiar with the terrain, and you need a guide, don't you?"

Yop saw that Rosen was determined, shrugged, turned to Alex, the deputy head of the shield guard, and said: "Arrange two warriors to protect the safety of the lord."

He did not doubt the personal combat effectiveness of the baron, after all, the other party had defeated Blood Flame Saras in a single duel.

He was worried that he could not distinguish the difference between the battlefield and the personal duel, and was eager to show his personal bravery and was targeted by many people, and died on the battlefield.

Rosen naturally would not refuse to have a special person to protect him. After all, this No. 2 puppet was also carefully built, and it would be a pity to lose it.

Looking up at the sky, it was just after ten in the morning, almost lunch time.

"Crescent City is about 10 miles away from the dock, and it's all flat all the way. How long do you think it will take, Captain?"

"Half an hour, can the Lord keep up?"

The Flame Corps are at least mid-level professionals, and their speed is very fast. Yopp is worried that Rosen will not be able to keep up.

Rosen smiled slightly and whispered to his wife Selena: 'Give me a high-level strong power. '

Selena pointed her staff at him, and a light red light enveloped Rosen's body.

The power of the master's mana to drive the high-level spell is more than twice that of the ordinary high-level spell, and the effect can last for at least two hours.

Rosen's No. 2 puppet is extremely powerful. After blessing this powerful auxiliary spell, in terms of physical strength alone, it is almost catching up with the high-level warrior.

"No problem now. Let's go!"
