Chapter 1148 The current predicament

It's impossible to go back and confront Archmage Halder, they have already fallen to Waterles, how can they go back.

Not to mention that even if this end really released them, they would be the defeated generals when they go back now, and the defeated generals would not be able to escape the military law if they returned to Nile.

So for Harlan and his group of generals, there is only one way to go, and that is to believe what Sera said.

Although he still had doubts in his heart, the situation was such that Harlan and his soldiers could only follow the situation.

General Harlan is a smart man, and the really smart people go with the trend. It is obvious that Waters is no longer under the control of Nile. Waters, which is controlled by the nations, has the ability to compete with Nile. Strength, if he continues to be stubborn and conservative for the sake of Nero, there will be no good end, and more importantly, with the banner of Queen Serra standing here, he will have a justifiable reason to take refuge.

"Right now, Nero is the great mage Halde who covers the world with his single hand. Your allegiance is not to King Nero, but to this treacherous and ambitious man. You can choose to fight for Halde. But please understand your own behavior, you are helping the evildoers."

Sela's voice is not loud, but every word is sonorous, and every sentence has extra weight.

After hearing this, Harlan and his soldiers all blushed and were shocked.

At this time, Harun had to express his loyalty to Sera. Seeing him take the lead in bowing down to Serra, he shouted: "The last general, Harun, is willing to lead all 320 soldiers to serve His Majesty the Queen. You must risk your life to fight for Her Royal Highness."

After Harun, the soldiers also knelt down to salute Sera, and the sound of their oath of allegiance echoed in the hall.

Seeing those soldiers who were prostrate in front of her, Sera felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment in her heart. She looked at Equation standing on one side, afraid that other people would notice her gaze, so she just pretended to be inadvertently a skim.

These soldiers will become soldiers loyal to her in the future, and she already has a plan in her heart. Allegiance to her is actually equal to allegiance to Equation, but in name they are still soldiers of Nero.

After completing the recruitment of Harlan and his men, Waterless entered another period of calm.

At present, the post-disaster reconstruction in the city has come to an end, and the threat from Kirkuvi Island has also been temporarily eliminated. In this rare peace period, Equation must make full use of it, and take this opportunity to consolidate the city in Waterley. Second, quickly restore Waterles to its pre-war appearance.

In Waterles East Port, the Wanguo and two other golden battleships are moored here. Among them, the side of Harlan's battleship is seriously damaged, and it is currently undergoing intense repairs.

As the governor of Waterles, Fang Fang, accompanied by Edgar, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, inspected the island. The first stop they came to was Donggang.

Seeing the scene of the ship being repaired in the port, the workers at the docks were transporting loads of wood to the ship, Fang Fang turned to look at Edgar, "How much does it cost to repair such a warship?"

Edgar calculated in his mind first, trying to be as rigorous as possible, and then replied: "Your Majesty, if this warship is to be restored to its original state, the combination of materials and labor will cost at least [-] gold coins, and the hull is damaged. Seriously, it is estimated that it will not be completely repaired in less than two months."

"How long does it take?"

"Yes, this kind of large warship is not comparable to those small ships. It takes two years to build such a warship, and it will cost at least a million gold coins to fully launch one."

There is no exaggeration in what Edgar said. It would take two years to build such a large warship.

Nile is located in a desert, and there is no wood available around it. All the wood needed for shipbuilding is imported from outside, including other materials needed for shipbuilding. In addition, the Nile people love gold and love to plate a ship's bow. layer of gold, so the cost and construction time of the whole ship are scary.

Even if it is not in Nile, even in England, which is good at sailing, it would be a huge expense to build such a ship.

In that era, no one could just put two planks into the sea and sail. Without a strong country as the backing, long-distance voyage was nothing but an unrealistic dream.

In the age of great voyages, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom... These countries successively appeared on the stage and became the overlords of the oceans. From another aspect, it also reflects the changes in the national strength and fortune of these countries.

Therefore, Equation was only slightly surprised by the cost and time quoted by Edgar, and there was nothing unreasonable about it. Fortunately, the current Wanguo can afford the money and has this time to wait until the repair of the ship is completed.

"Although this Harper brought me back a golden warship, he still cost me a lot."

Fang Fang scolded Harper secretly in his heart. He really lost a lot of real money in this collision. If this guy can be more calm when fighting, it will be perfect.

But then again, no man is perfect, and it is a blessing to be able to get a strong general like Harper. There is no need to make too many demands. The equation is to make good use of Harper's bravery. The most important thing to do for a handsome man.

The two left from the harbor, and Edgar followed Equation step by step along the way.

When he arrived at a place where there were no people around, Edgar said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, it is not a big problem to repair this warship right now, but there is one thing that needs to be resolved urgently."

Fang asked, "What's the matter?"

"Since the last turmoil in Waters, the ships that have passed through the Nile have not stopped at Waters."

"Oh--"

Fang Fang rolled his eyes upwards, recalling the scene he saw in Donggang just now. Indeed, there were almost no merchant ships docked in the port. "What about the situation at Westport?" Fang asked Edgar.

Edgar reported truthfully: "Your Majesty, it's the same at Westport. All the merchant ships that can go have already left, and I also sent people to investigate the situation of the three ships docked in the port area. They died in the chaos last time, and became several unowned ships."

"Since it is a ship without an owner, let's deal with it quickly."

The equation is calm on the surface, but he has already started to worry in his heart. You must know that the most important thing for Waterles is the navigation industry. If those ships don't pass by here, then the life of Waterles will be difficult in the future.
