Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't want to be pushed down by the players

This small warship with more than ten crossbow firing ports on each side of the hull is one of the gifts that Chris's younger brother Nolan gave to his sister.

I have to say that when Chris came to this camp and heard the captain named Brand say this to her, she felt a little moved.

Of course, this battleship called Sea Eagle has now been crossed out by Nolan from the list of battleships in Port Lit and has become a registered merchant ship.

Chris looked up at the young man in front of her, who looked to be in his thirties.

The captain has some wrinkles on his face because he has been exposed to the wind on the sea.

He was unlike his fellow sailors; he dressed well but had no aristocratic airs.

It left a very good impression on Chris.

Of course, what makes Chris even happier is that she doesn't have to find someone to train the players and turn them into qualified sailors. Now there is a suitable candidate standing in front of her.

Chapter 14022 My subordinates volunteered to work overtime

Chris walked onto the deck of the Sea Hawk and carefully observed this cutting-edge frigate.

The slender hull, the high-raised ram, and the complicated mast and sail installation all made Chris curious.

Battleships, whether they are modern sailing ships, modern ironclad battleships, or space battleships that only appear in movies and animations.

Each one of them represents dominance and an indescribable grandeur in people's impression.

Probably, because the background of these warships is either the boundless ocean or the deep universe.

Chris touched the guardrail that was cleaned by the sailors every day, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Captain Brand beside her.

This captain has the temperament of a military man, but he was originally the captain of one of the warships of the Lit Port Fleet under Nolan.

He was wearing a gray-blue woolen coat and a boat-shaped hat, the kind commonly seen on naval captains. He had a thin scimitar with a guard at his waist and a pipe in his left hand.

It was just because Chris and Isa who was following him were both girls, the captain suppressed his smoking addiction, but his fingers were always rubbing the pipe subconsciously.

"Captain Brand, I hope you won't be angry with my brother for removing you from the pirate-clearing battle where you have many opportunities to gain military merit, and assigning you to my side."

Although she was grateful for her brother's gift, Chris still wanted to appease the captain first.

"You don't have to do this, Princess."

Compared to the seriousness of army officers, officers at sea always seem to be relatively more casual or dissolute?

Although Brand stood straight, his shrug was a little slumped.

"I am an officer of His Royal Highness the Prince. It is a soldier's duty to obey orders."

Chris smiled, knowing that Brand was still somewhat dissatisfied.

"Captain Brand, please believe me, you will be grateful to my brother for this arrangement for you in the future."

"Yes!"

Looking at Brand who bowed his head respectfully, Chris raised the corner of her mouth and shook her head slightly.

She knew that Captain Brand would definitely not believe her empty words, and no matter how much she said, it would just be empty talk.

Standing by the side of the ship, I chatted briefly with Brand about his previous experiences in the Lit Port Fleet and his family.

Chris raised her head slightly and looked at the sea that stretched to the horizon.

"Captain Brand, since you said you've been on a warship with your father since you were fifteen, I presume you're very familiar with the waters surrounding the kingdom, right?"

Brand nodded without any hesitation.

Although he was only in his thirties, his family had been serving in the kingdom's navy.

So he and his brothers followed their father on the warship since he was a child. It can even be said that most of his childhood and youth were spent in the naval base.

Not to mention, after turning fifteen, he directly became a member of the Kingdom Navy.

"So, Brand, are you familiar with the waters near the Snow Crystal Plains? And also the waters near the Snow Crystal Plains on Celis' side?"

Chris paused and added, "Along the continental shelf of the Angus Bottom Mountains, are there any islands in the sea?"

"As for islands, yes."

Brand recalled and nodded to Chris.

Although he didn't understand why Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had never been to sea, would ask these questions, Brand still told her everything he knew.

As a mountain range that spans most of the northern continent of Hefnor, standing on the westernmost hill of Angus Bottom and looking towards the Shining Sea, you can see several small islands.

Of course, these small islands or reef islands are more appropriately described as very small, with nothing but bird droppings.

But Brand knew that if he extended his reach from these rocky islands deep into the Shining Sea, he would find several islands with fresh water resources.

But Brand also admitted to Chris that such islands are actually very common in the Glittering Sea, and the islands near the kingdom are actually small islands that can only support a village-sized base at most.

Moreover, there is a high probability of pirates on such small islands.

But don't worry too much about the sea area near the Snow Crystal Flower Plain.

The only way to go north is to go through the port city of Celis, and it is winter now, so there will be floating ice in the sea near Celis.

Only some brave and crazy people would sail in the nearby waters at this time of year.

"That's it."

Chris nodded thoughtfully, not paying attention to Brand's advice, whether explicit or implicit.

She just put her hands on the side of the boat, stood on tiptoe, and tried to look towards the horizon.

If she guessed correctly, the elves set out from nearby a thousand years ago and entered the depths of the ocean with the remaining members of the tribe who were hiding in the temple of the elven god.

Perhaps, there are still some remaining elven relics on those small islands, left behind by Marian and her people during their brief rest period.

However, Chris soon shook her head.

There really are some ruins left, but as Brand said, these ruins were destroyed by the pirates long ago.

But Chris still looked towards the junction of the sky and the sea in the distance.

She had long accepted the reality that she could not return to the Earth of her previous life. In this case, facing this magnificent continent of Hefno.

An idea suddenly came to Chris's mind. She wanted to explore what was behind this ocean?

Where did that elf go?

Which continent did Liu Pei and his people come from?

Chris reached out and held down her long golden hair that was blown by the sea breeze, and her big blue eyes reflected the sparkling deep blue ocean.

Brand, who was standing next to him, suddenly lost all his resentment towards Prince Nolan for arranging him to this remote place.

Although it's a bit boring, it's good to be able to stay with this beautiful princess.

Brand comforted himself in his heart that at least he was better off than his fellow sailors whose skin was as dark as those guys in the Southern Free Federation because they had been at sea for many years.

"If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely lead a fleet to visit the other side of the sea."

"Your Highness, beyond the Shining Sea lies the Ocean of Storms, a forbidden land where many adventurers have never left."

Brand couldn't help but persuade him. He didn't expect that the princess who had never been to sea beside him would actually aim to enter the Ocean of Storms.

This is really the case of a newcomer who doesn't know his place.

However, when Her Royal Highness the Princess approaches the waters of the Ocean of Storms and sees the raging winds and waves that are completely different from the calm waters of the Shining Sea, she will probably be scared away.

Thinking of this, Brand closed his mouth and said nothing more.

"That's right, Captain Brand."

Chris raised her hand to smooth her messy long hair, then turned around and looked at Brand beside her.

"Your Highness, please give me your instructions."

"I think Nolan should have told you that I will build a seaport here."

Brand nodded.

"His Highness Nolan also left me several port base defense experts."

"Oh, all right."

Chris didn't care too much. Compared to these experts, she believed in the civilization system more.

She was too lazy to do anything. She would just send some immigrants here, build a branch city here, and then build city walls and rely on magic circles for defense.

"Brand, I think I might need to ask you for help for now."

Chris stood on the bow of the ship and gestured to Brand, asking him to look at the cliff south of this simple temporary base.

The players were crowded on the edge of the cliff extending from the bay.

Because they were blocked by the sailors and couldn't enter the camp, and they didn't dare to rush in directly, these players had no choice but to climb up the hill and look towards the camp.

Of course, they were mainly looking at the three-masted sailing ship Sea Eagle and Chris, Isa and Brand standing on the deck.

The plot is clearly developing right before their eyes, but they have no chance to participate. It's such a pity.

The reputation points they gained in Vader City and the princess's favorability were still too low.

"Your Highness, those are the foreigners you brought with you, right?"

Brand frowned slightly, although this camp was only built crudely and for temporary use.

But even so, as a naval officer, he was still very unhappy to see someone spying on his camp like this.

He also didn't understand why, despite her noble status as Princess Chris, she came here with only a dozen or so guard knights and all these strangers.

"By then there will be more foreigners coming."

Chris's next words made Brand feel even more uncomfortable.

"And when the time comes, these foreigners will be under your jurisdiction, Brand."

"Your Highness"

Brand wanted to say something, but Chris stopped him with a smile and a wave of her hand.

"I know what you want to say, Brand, but don't worry, these foreigners are actually quite easy to communicate with."

As long as you don't light up your health bar, there will be no legendary epic equipment or item drop list, and no mounts will be dropped.

And you are also an important plot NPC, so you can rest assured.

Please feel free to deal with these players, they will not attack you.

Seeing Brand's puzzled expression, Chris's eyes scanned his whole body.

Well, with Chris's current swordsman and mage levels, she can easily find that her new subordinate has good equipment.

But there are only a few pieces of magic equipment, which are probably the best among the blue equipment.

As for mounts, do you want a navy captain to drop a mount and give you a frigate as a mount?

"When the time comes, I will also assign a few people from the Weide City Hall to help you manage these foreigners."

Wanting to leave a good impression in front of the new member Brand, Chris will naturally take care of this subordinate in every way.

"Although it's just a plan, I can reveal a little bit to you, Brand."

Chris's words successfully aroused Brand's curiosity.

"As you can see, the hydrological conditions in the waters near the Snow Crystal Plain are actually very good. Building a port here will definitely lead to a booming business."

"With a prosperous commerce, the merchant ships coming and going will naturally attract pirates. Although my brother Nolan's Lit Harbor and fleet are just to the south, Snow Crystal Flower must also have its own naval warships."

Having said that, Chris stopped, closed her mouth and looked at Brand with a sweet smile.

As a nobleman, although he is more like a soldier, Brand is by no means a fool, otherwise he would not become the captain of a warship.

He understood what Chris meant in an instant.

Now he is naturally the one who knows the navy best in Wade City. Apart from him, no one else understands naval warfare and has practical experience.

If the fleet planned by Her Highness Chris comes out, he will naturally become the fleet commander of this fleet.

When he thought of this, Brand couldn't help but show excitement and excitement on his face.

The only problem now is that he has just joined the service of Her Royal Highness Princess Chris.

No merit, no hard work, no contribution at all.

No, there is.

Brand immediately turned his head to look at the strangers on the coastal cliffs. I only need to supervise these strangers and build the best ports and naval bases as quickly as possible, which will be a great achievement.
