Start with Island Lord

The first island citizen assembly ended.

While the island citizens were still immersed in the joy of gaining new power, Rosen summoned the four commanders of the Flame Corps separately.

"Sit down, everyone."

Yop and others sat down on the bench by the window.

The four people looked very respectful and sat upright, which was completely different from their unruly appearance when they first entered the island.

Especially Yop, who had changed the most. He was a master of combat, but he even looked a little restrained at this time.

Because he clearly felt that the baron in front of him could decide the fate of him and his brothers, and he had no idea what would happen next.

After the four people sat down, Rosen said in a very regretful and guilty tone:

"These days, I asked people to carefully investigate the island forests, but so far, no black iron ore has been found. My father may have given me false news."

"."

The four looked at each other, not knowing how to respond to this.

Their biggest mission on the island was to investigate the iron ore, but now the iron ore is gone. Although it was only the Baron who said it, the Baron has proved his good reputation.

Moreover, the island is so small that no one would stop the Flame Corps from looking for it, so there is no need for the Baron to lie.

The iron ore is probably really gone.

If the iron ore is gone, their investigation mission will be over, and there is naturally no reason to stay on the island.

Yop said, "In that case, we have to return to Shire County to report to the Earl."

He was reluctant to leave.

Because he had a good time on the island during this period.

He did not have to be excluded by those high-ranking colleagues, and he was also respected by the people.

The material conditions were indeed a little worse, but everything was getting better quickly, and it would definitely get better in the foreseeable future.

Now that he suddenly left such a hot and hot place, he felt empty in his heart.

Obviously, the three deputy captains around him had similar ideas.

Because they all had similar experiences in Shire County, they had outstanding abilities, but because they had no background or connections, they had always been lingering on the edge of the upper class.

Rosen observed the situation and knew that the time was almost right.

He changed the subject: "However, I still have two islands to conquer, and there are many sea fish people in the sea to deal with."

"I also admire your abilities very much, especially when you first landed on the island, you showed rich naval experience, which impressed me deeply."

Captain Yop immediately looked humble: "Shire County is a coastal county, and naval warfare is an important training subject for the Flame Regiment. In fact, our naval warfare level is very average."

Harry on the side disagreed and refuted immediately.

"Captain, I don't agree with what you said. We do all the dirty work of coastal patrol. Although the assessment results are not ranked first, that's because..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yop: "Okay, don't say it."

Harry stopped talking. From his expression alone, it can be seen that the three deputy captains were very unconvinced.

Rosen smiled and said, "You all saw the appointment just now. A new Navy Department has been established. It lacks a general manager and the corresponding talents."

When these words came out, the four people were stunned.

Especially Yopp, he was shocked. He was not stupid and understood the meaning of the words.

The baron was recruiting him and promised him the position of the general manager of the Navy Department.

For a moment, he felt his heartbeat speed up, and it was difficult to breathe, and even a sense of suffocation.

Of course, Shire County also has a navy. At present, there are ten 800-ton maple leaf warships, which are the darlings of the earl.

The Minister of the Navy Department of Shire County has always been a member of the Robert family and has never been appointed outside.

Now, the baron actually gave him such an important position. Although the island has no warships for the time being, with the financial resources and ambitions shown by the baron, there will definitely be one soon.

The treatment and status in the future will definitely be very generous.

In Shire County, he did the dirtiest work, suffered the greatest exclusion and contempt, and only received a salary of 400 Oggs a year, which was not even one-third of the price of the hero medal on his chest.

He was very tempted.

Harry, the magician beside him, could understand naturally.

He was also a straightforward person, and he said directly: "But it's not easy to explain to the earl."

He was very tempted to say this.

Ned, the deputy leader of the Crossbow, and Alex, the deputy leader of the Shield Guard, also subconsciously clenched their fists, showing their excitement.

Rosen smiled and said: "If you are willing to continue to serve me, I will naturally explain all this to my uncle and give him corresponding compensation."

The Flame War Corps are all very professional warriors, and they have the unique tenacity of the northerners. As long as they are equipped with magic weapons, their combat effectiveness will not be inferior to that of the real Black Iron Guards.

Moreover, these 100 people are at least intermediate professionals, and each of them is an extremely outstanding talent.

Many people can stand alone with a little training.

Therefore, this hundred-man regiment was worth his big price to ask the earl for.

After getting it, he asked them to help build the navy and serve as instructors to train new soldiers.

His promise made the four commanders happy, but they were still a little worried.

Captain Yop whispered: "Without the iron ore on the island, the earl will not have the expected income, and I am afraid he will ask for a large compensation."

He was worried that the baron would fail to negotiate because the price was too high, resulting in false joy.

Rosen smiled slightly: "Captains, don't worry about compensation. I will naturally find a way to get your uncle to nod. What I am most concerned about now is your attitude."

"I have great respect for the heroes who have contributed to the island. Your wishes are the criterion for whether I take action."

These words were very useful to Jopp and others.

The ability of the baron in front of him is also obvious to all. Since he has made it clear, it means that he is determined to recruit.

They also knew Earl Robert very well and knew clearly that in terms of means, the Earl was no match for the Baron.

Therefore, this matter is very stable.

The four of them looked at each other and there was no need to discuss it because everyone had the same idea.

Jopp had one last concern: "I have been honored to serve the Baron, but my family in the Shire"

"I'll just send someone to pick it up."

“Immediately thereafter, large-scale construction work will begin on the island.

"You can live in Crescent City, or you can build your own manor on the plains. Which piece of land you like, non-agricultural land within two acres, I will grant it to you for free. Each of your soldiers, I will grant three 100 square feet.”

"Of course, I am not responsible for the subsequent construction costs. I can only guarantee that the price of building materials on the island is only 10% more expensive than in Shire County at most."

Yopton suddenly had no worries.

As for the cost of building a house, they didn't have to worry about it. Through these battles, each of them made a lot of money, which was enough to build a good wooden manor.

This is much better than their crowded little house in Xialin City.

Yopp immediately said: "Baron, we don't have any problems anymore."

"Very good, then take this employment contract from the Navy and take a good look at it."

Rosen took out a stack of documents, in quadruplicate, and distributed them to the commanders.

The four of them looked carefully, and the more they looked, the happier they became.

Because not only was the salary much better than that of the Flame Legion when he was in office, but after retirement, he would also be given a decent lifetime salary every month.

Even if he is killed in battle, the pension given to his family is very generous, so there is no need to worry about the aftermath.

In other words, you don’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

Through past interactions, they also fully believed in the Baron's ability and credibility.

After reading the contract, the four of them signed their names on the contract without hesitation.

Rosen carefully put away the contract and stood up to shake hands with each commander in turn.

"Dear island heroes, the construction of the island navy depends on your efforts."

"You can also rest assured that I will definitely provide the greatest support and ensure that the Navy Department will have warships within one year."

The four of them were also very excited.

Especially Joop.

The frown that had always been frowning was completely relaxed, and the whole person's temperament seemed much brighter.

At this point, the matter of the Flame Legion has been basically settled.

There was no rush to explain the situation to the earl later. Anyway, the earl couldn't do anything to him since he was on his island.

Also because of the relationship between the mentor, Princess Chenxi, and the countess, I wasn't worried that the count would be tough.

I just need to find an opportunity in the future to exchange a bargaining chip with the count to compensate him for this loss.

After settling in the new commanders of the Navy, the old butler Lai Fu immediately arrived with Muladi.

This Levind businessman arrived yesterday, but for some reason, he only came today, and he also brought an extra distinguished guest.

Although the letter vaguely mentioned the situation, you still have to read it to find out what happened.

After the two distinguished guests sat down, Rosen first clicked an intermediate-level blocking barrier on the door to ensure the privacy of the study.

"Sir Maxime, Mr. Muladi, it is a great honor to meet you. Would you like some wine?"

Rosen gave a very warm welcome.

"I heard that the island's specialty is 'Frostfire Wine'. Give me a drink." This is Muladi.

"I'll just have a glass of light fruit wine." This was Sir Maxim.

Rosen poured a glass for the two of them one by one, and specially sobered up Jazz's wine carefully.

After sitting down, he looked at Sir Maxim first.

Because this is a core member of the Nobundo family, and his father is the Marquis of Nobundo, also known as the Marquis of Thorns, one of the five great marquises of Levind.

In addition, his father is currently one of King Levandeshira's most trusted cabinet ministers and is a real big shot.

Mulady's ability to successfully transport so much goods this time was inseparable from the huge help of the Norboton family.

"Sir, thank you very much for your help. Although I cannot fully guarantee the difficulties you encountered, I will definitely do my best to solve them for you."

Maxim took a sip of light fruit wine, and a hint of pain appeared on his handsome and delicate face.

"The baron's words make me very happy, but I'm afraid my problem is not simple. I even suspect that someone maliciously cursed me!"

Having said this, he turned to look at Muladi.

Mulady immediately drank up the Frostfire Wine in one gulp: "Well, I suddenly remembered that I still have the account book that I haven't read. Baron, I'm going to go check the accounts with Kruber first."

"Go ahead."

Rosen untied the barrier casually, and after he left, he quickly resealed it.

After the two were alone, Maxim breathed a sigh of relief and sighed again.

"Baron, my...my, my@#% is not working."

There was a phrase vaguely mixed in the words, but because it was too fast and too soft, Rosen didn't hear it clearly and subconsciously asked: "What can't be used?"
