THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

chapter 162's

Erin was moody because of all the men they had lost. Yet he still headed to the palace to meet Duke Fjord, who was,

When he entered the meeting room, Duke Fjord greeted him cheerfully. 

An enthusiastic Duke Fjord greeted Erin and welcomed her when they arrived at the main topic, “Deputy Admiral Erin, you did a pretty good job in getting those ships in the previous operation. Even your Master is having great difficulty fighting that balista. ”

Erin received the praise and spoke politely,” Thank you, my lord, that would not have been possible without the help of master and his precautions when she made plans for the attack. This plan was specially created by Master because he did not want to take the risk. I was only there to carry out the plan that had been made. So I think this victory fell to Master and his plans. I lost a lot of people in my surgery. So I don't think I'm running it perfectly. “

Fjord furrowed his brows slightly, but he remained wise and agreed with Erin, “Yes Indeed, shannon's experience was very useful as she never took a risk when she made Ambush and this time it was the most challenging attack. He is also preparing a capable attack.Admiral for our future because you can command the entire fleet according to your own judgment when you raid them. So this shows the results and care of Admiral Shannon. It's not your fault that you lost a lot of your troops in the operation. It is expected that we will lose quite a number of our men after Admiral Shannon's operation. So we can't expect the impossible from you. “

Fjord continued in anger as he recalled about Shannon's battle and the humiliation they faced, “This time we will take revenge using the same balista he used against us in our last battle. Although they may not be perfect, they will still come in handy for us next time. We also have the advantage of numbers so we are in a good position. “

One of the ministers greeted Erin and gave a sincere compliment before she spoke, “Master Erin, he said, we've got word about you before so we've hired all the craftsmen in the domain to replicate this weapon. Those 10 ballistas will be useful for our future operations and prototyping as well. Making projectiles out of those balloons would be easier for us on the other side. ” 

The Duke nodded as he dreamed of conquering the North-frontier Domain,” This time, our 5000 people will be avenged by lifting up his entire city on land that will become ashes. He will regret the day he offended the lagoon family. I've had enough of a joke with the bullshit newspaper that slanders me every day with propaganda. “

Erin was a bit confused about the Count Joh newspaper but she still agreed and spoke, “Ya My lord, this insult to my master will be reciprocated in the same way. The fact that Count John employed pirates in his navy is a stain to our aristocratic world “ This thuggishness cannot be tolerated at all. Now I have no doubt that this tally killed Lord Evan in his anger and rage because he targeted his slave solely.”

Jonas added when he saw the opportunity and gave his opinion, “Yes, this time we will move against them politically as well as militarily. We will not stop our attacks on ships moving north or south. We will ensure that the east sea will be a graveyard for any ship traveling from here. We will continue our small attack, This time we will hire some mercenaries to do our dirty work. This time we will make it a war of attrition and divide our troops instead of concentrating them. “

Duke fjord added with a sly smile, “Ya! Let's see how he deals with mercenaries who will create chaos in his domain. This time I have 4 mercenary groups, 2 of which are already funded by us.”

Jonas asked about important issues, “God maybe we can contact prince hector and time our attack this time. You know they're still waiting for our answer.”

Watching all of this drama, Admiral Shannon furrowed his eyebrows when he thought that civilians should not be deliberately targeted for personal grudges.

After the meeting ended, Shannon and Erin headed to their training ground. 

Erin asked Shannon after they were alone without peeping ears, “Master, I feel you have outlined during the last meeting. Is everything okay?” 

Shannon smiled weakly as she explained, “Well, they were careful about it. I guess it's because of my differences with Grim and Darius. This is the reason why they targeted me on purpose.” 

Erin furrowed her brows when she heard about them, “Grim and Darius? Did the newspapers that spread the messages about Grim and Darius report honestly? Are they right?”

t expressed this opinion publicly. But I will not leave this war. Since I have joined and made an oath to the lagoon of my home I will fight until my last breath and die with honor in this war. “

Erin nodded when she found out about another event, “Oke, as you said, sir, I never expected mister Grim and Darius to leave the battlefield. I was wrong about them. I'll take your words seriously and remain cautious with them ” 

Shannon sighed and spoke, ” Jonas is the one who should be more careful because he is the one who devised the strategy for Grim. This time I thought war would be the most brutal in our current century because it was much more mysterious and unpredictable. So, you get the point. ” 

” Okay. ” 

” Come on, let's start your training. ”

Erin muttered when she heard her master,” I guess I need to look at those newspapers from now on to hear other news as well. And it seems like I have been considering the Warning master very carefully. “
