THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

134 Chapter

Frank nodded and spoke, “Yes right, the ships are ready but you must first affix the stamp and sign these letters. We can then go to the ship. In the meantime, what are you doing with the ship? From my experience, we arrived earlier compared to the time we predicted earlier at Journey “

John showed a mysterious smile and spoke, “Yes, this is secret.” 

John smiled and thought. “I redesigned each ship according to its needs and efficiency. Even if they tried to imitate, they would not get any results. Yes, it's good that the ships are working well. ”

Frank sighed and spoke in a serious tone,” I think this is also one of your creations. The Royal Family will see you like a greedy wolf if they find out about the performance of those ships, you know this, right? You must be careful . I believe these ships can match the Fjord ships whether it is speed or maneuverability. Even the Chief Captain agreed to it. It's good that I only bought my trusted people because Duke Fjord is targeting us aggressively lately. “

Blake was also quite surprised after hearing Frank and understood that John had not joked before when it came to the performance of the redesigned ship. 

Blake thought when he heard Frank, “The ocean will be exciting and start to churn now at Duke Fjord. That day won't be far when you pay to collude to arrest me last time and kill most of my people. First of all I will pay him back in this war where he arrogantly claims to exterminate Count John. I guess he doesn't know the real fear of that ballista. I wonder how he would react after hearing about the superiority of this Galleon Ship and the great loss if it started the war. ‘

Meanwhile Eric has the same poker face as he is quite used to the Count John scene that surprises everyone. 

Eric thought as he looked at the two of them and had a face that had a look of disdain, ‘Plebs, surprised at every little thing. Isn't this expected? ‘ 

Blake immediately understood as soon as he saw Eric's disgusted look. However, he controlled himself when he saw there was an important meeting going on and he couldn't mess it up. 

Ross was also watching this from the sidelines as he just smiled, smiling,

Frank laughs when he sees them all, “Hahaha. You got a lot of interesting men, John. You're lucky enough to have a man who trusts you completely. Besides, your ship's at the Dock. They are charged high rates. And Yes I forgot to remind you, 2 weeks later Lord Sapphire will come with the Elves of the South Island as they intend to meet you first before making a deal. ” 

John nodded and asked,” Pretty good news. Thank you, Mr. “Frank. I hear you are investing aggressively in the city. I'm guessing you're going against your dad because this shows that you trust us enough so we can protect ourselves.”

Frank thought nostalgically and commented, “I guess, for years, I have lost my nerve and this time I did when Joseph reminded me of one of the core principles I learned earlier when I started doing business before he went out on his own. Well, this time I'm pretty sure you'll be able to protect yourself after watching that balista and with the fact that you easily gave it to the Royal family. I guess my instincts are good when it comes to assessing some situations closely. And this time I invested my personal funds so that the family funds would not be threatened. So no one can blame me. “Frank smiled mysteriously as he said the last sentence.

John smiled and understood, “Alright, let's go to the dock, then we'll talk about it later.”

Frank nodded, “True, I was also late. Let's go.”

John smiled mysteriously and asked Blake, “So, what are you saying now? Do you believe in these ships after hearing them directly from Frank? And stare directly at these ships?”

Blake nodded and agreed, “I think I should do it. It can't be a coincidence that you can find so many things.”

Sarah commented inside her head, “Hmph ..

John slightly coughed and talked about his plan to all of them, “From now on we will increase the trading volume with Sapphire Duchy and other domains. You will be responsible for maintaining important deliveries with your new naval fleet. You can attack the pirates at will and this includes anyone who dares to rob us. So, how do you like this kind of freedom without any restrictions? However, your troops will also follow the military laws of our Government. “

Blake nodded and agreed, “Hmmm .. Now, this seems like a good proposal. Ok, I will accept this project. We'll create a base on the Island first and then in the Northlands. From there our team will first connect to the new city in the north and then from that city to the Northern border city as this will be important to our future and the connection to the sea. ”

John nodded and made another suggestion,” That's a good plan. However, you will have to give me a complete plan from start to finish so that I can plan accordingly. “

Blake thought a little and said, “OK, I will do it as soon as I contact my people. After all, you don't have to worry about your Trade from now on because these ships and ballistas are good enough to create chaos among other pirate crews or the Fjord's own fleet. Just watching the speed of these ships at the moment. I am sure we will dominate the sea for a long time. I'm just itching for my encounter with them, this includes the Fjord and the Royal Navy. I am sure the Fjord will protest a lot with the Royal family over my appointment by claiming that since I am a pirate, I should not be allowed to join the nobles, he said, and the master who did that should be punished for my sins.Think it would be fine with my announcement? I can still be your unofficial Navy Admiral. “

John shook his head, “Well, I have a perfect pretext about it so you don't have to worry. The royal family won't risk damaging their relationship with just because of the appointment and Jeopardize the deal we shared Ballista's blueprint with them. And even if they do create some problems. They cannot do much at sea apart from lip service because they will not risk the lives of their own personnel over a personal dispute between me and the Fjord. ”

Duke Fjord meanwhile attempted to rally the nobles on one of the parties frequently hosted by Grim. Duke is also attending these parties at the moment as suggested by Grim. Grim was the one who suggested creating social influence and uniting the rulers while offering them various benefits. They would eventually follow their greed and join the crusade against Count John.

One of the Barons commented after watching the Duke at one of the parties, “It seems that the Duke deployed the knights and Lords to attack the Northern Border city. It seemed like even the Royal family turned a blind eye to this Development because they understood that the Duke could use this as a pretext if the Dwarves could penetrate their spies or even their fleet as he continued his campaign against Count John's.

One of them was asked with alluring words, “What did you say? Will you participate in this war? From what I know, this war can make most rulers rich enough not to worry about 20 years at least if any of us can get the new technology developed by the men in the domain of Count John. And remember this, there's no risk. There's no advantage. “

One of the viscount spoke in a serious way, “But there is also a weapon called Ballista as well. And you haven't forgotten about that mini ballista either, have you? I don't want to get me or my people killed.some wealth if that number is upset over some ruler leading the vanguard. “
