Turn into Earl Lolita

Hundreds of warships against a dozen or so armored ships of the other side, is this the end?Looking around, looking at one's own ships that are getting fewer and fewer in the Vietnam War, and then looking at the opponent's ironclad ships that seem to have no damage, how can we fight?

"They only have ten ships, and we have dozens. Do you know what that means?"

"It means we still have a chance." As expected of a senior, even at such a disadvantage, he did not give up hope of fighting back.Do you want to solve the current dilemma in terms of quantity?

"Why are you so stupid? There are so many ships fleeing together, and they only have ten ships. They will definitely not be able to catch up. By then, we can run faster than other ships, then we will not be in danger. Look, those ships now Everyone has this kind of thinking, if we don’t hurry up, we will become cannon fodder.”

Blinking and blinking, what he said made sense, and he was speechless for a moment.Sure enough, under the command of that senior, my ship searched and turned its bow. Coincidentally, many ships turned their bows almost at the same time and galloped in all directions.

"See, if we don't run at this time, we will wait to help those fast-running ships block the attack."

"But...but there are still ships that haven't escaped." He knew that the captains of those ships had just changed, so they didn't react at all to escape?

"I don't care what to do, when I went to find the captain, the captain was already ready to turn around, whether I go or not is the result."

Looking at the gorgeous fireworks-like sea in the distance, the man didn't know what to say. When he came, there were hundreds of warships, and they were like a rainbow. How embarrassing it was.

"It's really bad luck. I have been on the sea for so long, and this is the first time I have encountered such a terrible ship. Our coalition army composed of so many pirates, big and small, was beaten so humiliated."

After finally escaping from the enemy's range of fire, the captain asked other people to help him steer the boat. He took a break and came to the boat to find his old brother who was born and died with him. The first sentence was to complain about the embarrassment this time.

"It's useless to say so much, it's good to be able to escape, and don't take it lightly now, who knows if the speed of the other party's ship will be faster than ours."

"Hmph, they are iron ships and we are wooden ships. No matter what you think, we are faster. Didn't you see that the other ships also slowed down? I don't believe that those iron blocks can still fly on the sea."

I don't know if they can fly or not, but the speed of the iron-clad ship, which is also a steam ship, really taught them a solid lesson. Then he was forced by his old brother to speed up the ship, and immediately heard a long cry.Afterwards, the ironclad ships that had just sunk the nearby battleships rushed towards this side at a speed far beyond his imagination.

"My...you crow's mouth..."

Intermittently heard the annoyed roar of the captain in the distance, at this time the crew members were also like frightened birds, using their respective strengths to speed up the speed of the ship as fast as possible.

"What kind of iron is this? It doesn't matter if it doesn't sink at sea, but it can still sail so fast. Is there any reason for it..."

On the surface of the sea, a series of swear words flowed out, and the battleships either fled or fell heavily, gradually returning to the daily "calm".

Unrest in the North: Chapter 8 Can't figure it out

Gradually, there was no more gunpowder smoke on the sea, and under the turbulent waves, everything seemed to have returned to the previous calm again. It was as if the sea battle that happened just now had never happened, and there was no trace at all.

With a pot of wine and a plate of meat, Li Huamei sat gently on the deck, enjoying the post-war comfort and feeling the coolness of the sea breeze.

"Admiral, if we continue to pursue, it is still possible to annihilate the enemy."

In the middle of the sentence, the other party also understood what he meant. The young commander couldn't understand what the female admiral meant. The enemy had clearly collapsed, so why didn't they take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out these pirates who were wandering outside the law in one fell swoop.

"You want to kill all the pirates? Boy, you think too much. As long as these routes are still there, they will never be able to finish it. Have you seen those islands in the distance? Any one of them may become their fortress."

Put a piece of cooked beef in your mouth, um, it's better for the lady, so you can eat the beef beautifully and happily.The wine is also good, although it is not as good as Daming's wine, but drinking this ale on the sea is also unique.

"However, if we can successfully wipe out these pirates, we can..."

"What can I do? Some things can't be done too cleanly." Li Huamei stood up with a chuckle, and staggered towards her captain's cabin.

"Boy, if you can figure it out, you can be the captain of a fleet."

Wipe out the pirates?It is a thankless thing, and it is likely to make the nobles behind these pirates hostile to them.The most important thing is that with these pirates, the sea trade routes will never be smooth, and the value of the goods will be higher.

Besides, after this war, no pirates would dare to trouble their ironclad ships. Wouldn't it be better to let these pirates harm the trade routes of other nobles.

Finally, and most importantly, these pirates must be hired by the Principality of Friedland. Since they are willing to pay a lot of money to let these pirates die, the pirates will definitely not let the merchant ships of the Principality of Friedland react. feel good.It's not impossible that stealing chickens and losing rice will not happen.

Seeing Li Huamei staggering into the cabin, the young man could only frown slightly, still unable to understand why they had to let the tiger go back to the mountain, even though the enemy was right in front of them and they had enough strength to wipe them out.

Seeing those ships returning after chasing pirates one by one, he, who was just a combat staff officer, could only sigh helplessly.

Li Huamei, who returned to the captain's room, put the jug aside and looked at the sea chart in front of her. Her plain fingers stretched from south to north along the coastline on the northern continent where the orcs were located.

"If there is enough army, I can let the lady swallow these coastal territories. However, the port here has some uses, but I don't know if the orcs are willing to lease it to us."

The front is hoping to greatly expand Shirley's territory along the coast. Of course, it is very difficult because of the strength of the troops, but it is still possible to occupy a good port.Although the northern continent of the orcs is extremely cold in winter, and because of the weather, the ports in winter will be frozen, so they cannot be used all year round, but the market for the orcs themselves is extremely huge.

They need a lot of food, cotton clothes, tea, salt and other materials, and for them, the iron ore and other ores in the Northland, as well as the cattle and horses they produce, paint and other materials are also very popular among the nobles. The most important thing is, In the northern continent, there are some weak orcs. They don't have great strength, but they have their own crafts, such as breeding, such as papermaking.It can be said to be ingenious.If you can trade with them directly, you can expand their trade even more.

And if you want to trade directly with those orcs, you must have a territory that can shelter them, and the port that is far from the Earl of Ordos is the most suitable.

The finger pointing on this port did not move any more, and a pair of beautiful eyes were deep in thought.

###################

Shirley of the Earl of Dolly is still completely unaware of the naval battle in the northwest, and she has her own affairs at this time.That is the envoy from the Earl of Philia - Mandalay, the son of the lord Perik.

"Your Highness Mandalay, it is a pleasure to see you here again."

When I got off the carriage, I saw the girl who was already waiting for me in front of the castle gate, and beside her was the blond maid who would never be absent.Mandalay stepped forward to salute lightly.

Shirley, who came out of the castle to greet this ally, was already familiar with this Mandalay who was saluting to him. She signed an alliance with herself when she was still weak, and at the same time, she has been working hard to maintain the alliance relationship between the two parties. It is also indispensable.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the few times I fought abroad, they were all safely behind her. Not only did they not sneak attack her rear, but they also firmly rejected the proposal of other lords who wanted to pass through his territory to sneak attack her .

You know, at that time, they only had to nod their heads and agree that the other party would pass through their own territory, and they could get rich rewards after the war, but they still firmly abided by the covenant between the two parties.Not to let any noble troops who are hostile to him pass through their territory. Just this point, Shirley has to keep it in mind.

Therefore, Shirley, as an earl, came out to greet Mandalay in person to show her respect for him.

"It's really flattering to have Earl Shirley come out to greet you in person. Before my father came, he told me that I must let you bring his greetings to you."

"Master Berrick is really too polite. We are not only allies, but also friends. Why do you need to be so polite? Go to the castle and take a rest. I have arranged for people to prepare a banquet. Today, I want to taste the delicious food here."

Appropriately showing a look of surprise can also make the little girl in front of him happy, and Mandalay expressed his expectation.

"It is said that Earl Shirley's chef is from the royal family, and I, the little lord of the northern border, can be regarded as having a taste of the royal family's food."

It is not wrong to say that they are small nobles in the countryside, because most of the nobles in the northern border will not be invited to stay in the imperial capital to participate in the founding ceremony after reporting their duties. Only some nobles with higher status or stronger strength will stay in the imperial capital to participate. As for Shirley, firstly, the emperor and empress did not help her become an outsider, and secondly, her own strength has also developed to a certain extent, so she has the opportunity to stay in the imperial capital.

"Just kidding, the Earl of Berrick is not a small lord."

Although the strength of the Earl of Philia is not top-notch in the northern region, Earl Perrick is also a respectable knight. When the orcs invaded the south, he was hard-headed by the orcs. Such a character, you say he is a small Lord, that is an insult to yourself.

Led by Shirley and Fuya, the talking and laughing people walked slowly into the castle.

Unrest in the North: Chapter 9 Allies to Help

Delicious food, beautiful music, although there are no clown performances that ordinary nobles have, and there are no female dancers to add to the fun, but at the dinner, Mandalay still had a great time.

"As expected of a chef with royal cooking skills, this barbecue has a special flavor."

In front of the large round table, cut the grilled meat brought by the maids into small pieces, grasp it with your hands and put it in your mouth, carefully savoring the delicacy of the spices and meat that exploded in your mouth.

"Miss Shirley, you are really willing to add this spice. It is said that your sea ship is invincible to the sea, and you have made a lot of money in the sea business, so it seems that it is true."

"His Highness Manderley was joking. My navy is just a few ships. In terms of its size, it can't compare with the large naval legion of orcs and elves. It's just luck, and it's just a matter of being able to eat at sea. Not counting. What is invincible."

Shirley felt that she was right. Why, this navy without an aircraft carrier can be called invincible. When the dreadnoughts and aircraft carriers come out and form several aircraft carrier formations, let's talk about invincibility.

In other words, Shirley herself has no idea whether the aircraft carrier can be drawn out. After all, the issue of the aircraft carrier is somewhat taboo. Who knows if there will be any moths, and the will of the universe is still very elusive at certain times.

"Miss Shirley is really good at joking. Your navy is invincible in all aspects of the sea. Be it orcs or elves, they all shy away from your warships. How can it be called invincible?"

What comes out of the words is full of envy, who doesn't want this kind of navy.Whether it's foreign warfare, air transport, or external expansion, this is her confidence. Although it may not radiate too far to the mainland, even so, it is very deterrent to the cities along the coast.

What the two of them were thinking was not on the same line at all, so Xue Li didn't continue to be entangled in this aspect, just smiled lightly, picked up the grape juice that Fuya had just filled up again, and drank it into her mouth in small sips.

"Originally, there are some things that I can talk about tomorrow, but I still can't help but want to ask, Your Highness Mandalay, what is the purpose of your coming here this time?"

Shirley's inquiry was not only beyond Mandalay's expectations, but also beyond the expectations of Fuya who was serving her by her side. She had been reminded before that this kind of matter can be discussed in the daytime tomorrow. The other party is not in a hurry. They don't need to rush either.

But why did my lady ask at this time? If the other party had any demands, it would probably put her at a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations.

Holding Fuya's hand gently, Shirley turned her head and smiled at her. She could understand her thoughts, but she also believed that her ally would not let her down.

"It seems that you have already noticed the actions of the Principality of Friedland towards you. In fact, if you don't ask, I will tell you later that the wolf ambition of the Principality of Friedland has already been clearly revealed. The generations of Dukes have been right The royal family no longer has any awe, and at this time they regard the northern border of the empire as their own garden. If it weren't for the threat of orcs in the north, they might have launched an attack on us, independent counties."

Opening his mouth made Shirley and Fuya's attention turn to him, and Mandalay naturally knew that his words would attract their attention, or he did it on purpose.

"Your external expansion during this time has made the Principality of Friedland feel threatened, so they want to declare war on you, but before declaring war, they have already begun to prepare for mobilization. It is very likely that at the same time as declaring war, they will Will gather troops to launch a sneak attack on you."

This is what his father told him. He really looked down on such despicable actions of the Principality of Friedland, but in order to prevent his allies from being attacked, he also came here immediately after learning the news .

"Thank you very much for your information. We have also received similar information. Compared with your information, we can be sure that their target must be us."

Don't say that you already know it, but that the information from both sides has confirmed it. This can be regarded as saving the other party's face and at the same time telling the other party that we are already prepared here, so there is no need to worry.

"Ah? That's right. If you can develop so quickly, you will definitely have your own intelligence network. However, my father told me to tell you. No matter what, we are all allies. If there is any need for help, I, Earl Philia The leader can also mobilize thousands of conscripts to support you at any time."

"Ah, if you do this, you will offend the Principality of Friedland and his dog legs. Is this really appropriate?"

Shirley's words provoked Mandalay to shake his head with a smile, "As you said, we are not only allies, but also friends. If a friend is in trouble, can't we just sit on the sidelines?"

The choice of the Earl of Philia really surprised Shirley and Fuya. At this time, the outcome is really unclear. No, it should be said that in the eyes of anyone, they are fighting the Principality of Friedland. Then there must be only one ending, which is to end with her defeat, so they still have to take risks to help themselves?

"Why, Miss Shirley doesn't believe it? Although we are lords of a locality, we also understand the word loyalty. The Principality of Friedland has no respect for the royal family and sticks out its fangs to our allies. If we continue to watch, Who knows if they will bite their fangs on us one day in the future?"

This reason is impeccable, even if he had some doubts in his heart, he was persuaded by him and accepted his statement.In other words, she approved of the words of the not-so-intelligent Mandalay. As for the Earl of Berwick, whom she had never met, she still did not understand her thoughts.

#############

In the cool night, a tall blond woman walked to the balcony and put a dark cloak on the middle-aged majestic man who was looking into the distance under the moon.

"My lord, even in summer, don't underestimate the cool breeze at night. Be careful of catching a cold."

"Ma'am, do you think the child can go to Aalborg smoothly?"

Covering the plain hand that hadn't been withdrawn from his shoulder in time, feeling the soft touch on the palm, he turned his head and looked at the wife who had been by his side all the time.

"Mandalay is a good boy, and Shirley is also a good boy. He will definitely be able to go to Aalborg smoothly. But, I don't understand why we must help Shirley at this time. We can provide shelter after she is defeated. Do you need to get involved?"

You must know that this is a bad war, and the whole family has finished the war. Is it really because of an ally that this is the case?

"You don't understand, Shirley's child is very evil. Who knows if she has any backhands? Even with her apparent strength, who can say that she will definitely lose to the Principality of Friedland? If we give help at this time, then She will definitely leave a good impression on us. After that, after Mandalay succeeds to the throne, who would dare to trouble him easily."

Rather than saying that he is helping Shirley, it is better to say that he is looking for a future backer for his own children. He does not think that anyone can stop Shirley's rise in the northern border.And when she was still in her infancy, the territory next to her was originally the most dangerous, but after a series of actions, it would become the safest place.

As for worrying about whether he was seeking skin from a tiger or whether he might be swallowed up by the other party, he could tell that the little girl was affectionate and couldn't do that kind of bottomless thing.

Unrest in the North: Chapter 10 Anxiety from the Imperial Capital

The girl who was awakened by the morning sun, rubbing her slightly sour glasses, sat up from the bed, her lovely pink lips shriveled, and then she gave a big Hatch.

"Aha...Sister Fuya, how long have you been waiting at the door."

When he opened his eyes, he saw Fuya opening the door dignifiedly and walking in. If she was not waiting at the door, she wouldn't believe it even if she was killed.

"It didn't take long. As a maid, it is also within the scope of my duty to wake up the lady on time every day, but today the lady woke up a little early. Do you need to rest?"

He didn't take out the clothes prepared for Shirley in the first place, but helped her wrap up the quilt. It was still early, and he could rest for a while.But seeing Shirley shaking her head with a smile, she took out the clothes that had been prepared and warmed in her arms.

"Well, Sister Fuya, next time you don't need to heat up your clothes. It's summer now, so there's no need to do that."

Every time she wears the clothes taken out of her arms, she always feels that her nostrils are filled with the fragrance of grass and trees after bathing from her body.This puts a lot of pressure on her as a boy, okay?

If she had a gun, she wouldn't be so passive, but the problem is, isn't she being disarmed? She still enjoys this kind of treatment every day without a weapon, which really makes her a little unbearable.

"Miss, do you dislike her?"

"Ah? No, no, don't talk nonsense. I just think that such words will cause inconvenience to you, and there is no other meaning." She heard a trace of imperceptible disappointment in her tone, and Xue Li naturally knew that it was her own words Let her think too much.

"My mother's requirements for us are only the most basic. If I can't even do the most basic, I will be very remiss."

So what kind of dross is this? Well, she also admitted that this kind of thing will make many nobles like it very much.

"If you don't like it, I will solve this problem in another way."

"Another way?" Shirley tilted her head, indicating that it can be changed?

"Well, I think you just saw me take the clothes out of my arms, which made you feel uncomfortable, so after I know you are up, I will take out the clothes outside first, as long as you can't see it, it can solve the problem ."

Good guy, I can't see it, but I can still smell it, okay, and outside, that's the corridor, you take clothes from your arms in the corridor, what if a guard passes by.

"No, I'm just worried about causing inconvenience to you. I don't have so many reasons. It's just the same in the future. You can't pick up clothes in the corridor. Absolutely not."

With his hands crossed in front of his chest, his serious expression almost made him say a daba.

Although I didn't understand why my young lady refused so firmly, she was still indescribably relieved, and helped Xueli put on her clothes while smiling.While nodding in agreement.

"Don't just talk to me, you must know if you don't."
