Chapter 235 Sponsors

When Luford was captured before, it may have been out of caution, or it may have been informed of the information in advance. It had already left Luford City before that and was missing.

For such a monster with a good brain, not bad strength, and experience in managing medium and large organizations, Tang Zhao undoubtedly regarded it as a threat worthy of vigilance, so he arranged for manpower to track the opponent's tracks on the day he escaped.

After expounding his interests and concerns with Norton, the other party agreed to provide assistance within limits.

Oran is not a small country, but with the help of state agencies, as long as it uses the transportation system in Oran, it will leave more or less clues. It is certain that the beholder did not leave by water, so it is inevitable

Neither the dwarves nor the elves can tolerate this kind of creature. It should not be unpleasant to find. The Kolo people in the west do not reject this kind of monster, but there is a large dense forest between the two places. This is the reason why the elves and Tang Zhao

In the territory, it is difficult for the other party to hide it from the sentries and animal friends in the forest.

All things considered, the beholder is either hiding in some unknown secret place, or has gone north to seek refuge with the hobgoblins and orcs. From Tang Zhao's understanding, the beholder is a very vengeful creature.

And there are no constraints of moral order. After all, what they believe in is not those gods of order, but the beholder's own mother goddess. He is not a good man or woman, and there is a high possibility that he will seek cooperation with enemies in the north.

The other party has been operating near Luford for many years and is very familiar with the environment and conditions here. If the hobgoblins or orcs come again next time, it may cause greater trouble. Tang Zhao has already written a letter to inform him of this matter.

After asking Julia, the other party also promised to take preventive measures in the short term. It depends on how they are implemented.

Lufford is still far behind. The previous earl was placed in an area near the royal capital. He was promoted and secretly became an ordinary earl. He was able to enjoy his old age in peace. He was already very satisfied with this arrangement. After all, he was the defeated side.

, it’s hard to ask for more.

The new consul replaced him, with Luford as the center, handling various government affairs in the west of Oran on behalf of the royal family. Along with them came a whole army of tens of thousands of people, which easily frightened the surrounding border nobles who made small moves.

We. The general framework of Ruford City has not changed, but things like smuggling and slave trade have been strictly investigated and prohibited. As compensation, many measures that are beneficial to businessmen have also been issued. Generally speaking, Julia should want to make this

The city turned into a more standardized business, transportation, trade hub and governance center. For people like Tang Zhao who wanted to do business in peace and make money, it was a good thing. The bigger the cake, the more things he could get, especially

He also has a somewhat ally-like relationship with the royal family.

In addition, Tang Zhao further strengthened the defense lines on the east and north sides of Insula. Now the underground passages between each station and Karak Solma have been basically connected, and can transport living supplies and team personnel.

The coordination between the stronghold outside the city and the fortress has become much easier. Karak Solma can enter a fully armed alert state within fifteen minutes of discovering the enemy, so he is not very afraid of the enemy's surprise attack.

——

Two months passed in a flash. In the first month, there were sporadic noble rebellions across the country. Most of them were nobles who were about to be liquidated. They were fighting back to the death. For the royal family with military power, this level of rebellion was unaffordable.

What a big storm, on the contrary, it can strengthen the authority of the royal family and take back more territory to the current queen.

After a month of repairs, Julia fulfilled her promise and began to purchase warships and cargo ships from various coastal commercial cities. At the same time, she searched for outstanding craftsmen and established multiple royal shipyards in several coastal seaport cities.

The Southern Elf Kingdom and Tang Zhao spent a lot of money to buy wood and began to build warships.

Originally, the Oran royal family paid little attention to the navy and only had a few small river fleets used to intercept merchant ships that did not pay taxes. However, Julia went against the norm and believed that the ocean would be the future development direction of Oran, so she decided to

The fleets of various cities were integrated to form what seemed to be a large-scale navy directly under the royal family. There were nearly 400 large and small warships that could sail, not counting the attached cargo ships.

In fact, Tang Zhao knew very well that the current navy had not experienced systematic reorganization at all, and there were many internal hills. From sailors to commanders to warships, there was a mixed bag of good and bad. He expected them to pretend to be okay and really fight hard against other maritime powers or fishmen.

, then it is better to ask the people from the Heim Church’s warships for help. At least their combat effectiveness is guaranteed.

Julia is also very clear about this. She is busy dealing with this matter now. This fleet will play a big role in the war against the orcs in the future, but it is far from time yet.

Tang Zhao had already explained to her that Hai Ji was looking for the remaining dwarves in the north. At the same time, he brought the dwarf envoy to the royal capital to meet with Julia. For such a big dog with money and equipment, Julia expressed

They were very enthusiastic and promised to prepare a fleet to go to sea to help them find their relatives in the north.

In fact, this was just a matter of course - Julia originally wanted to send a fleet to detect sea conditions and find out the specific activities of murlocs at sea. At the same time, she also had an understanding of the general distribution of orcs on the shore, so as to do good intelligence work for future wars.

It's not difficult to find the dwarves by the way.

Tang Zhao probably understood the other party's plan, but he didn't say anything. The dwarves basically didn't care about these things and readily paid most of the expenses for the fleet's voyage.

After the dwarf envoy left, Tang Zhao did not follow him, but asked about Julia.

[One thing I’m curious about is, how did Norton deal with the green dragon from before? 】

"It's very simple. It's just using money to do things. Norton promised to give him one-third of his property after his death, and it was witnessed by the Luo Shanda Church and others. If you have money to take it, the dragon will naturally work hard."

[I suggest you be careful. Norton is the legion commander, and the green dragon is allocated one-third of the legion command. Norton is the duke, and the green dragon is allocated one-third of the duke. There is still a long time to come, and you may not be able to get more.

.]

The power of the Castei family has not been weakened much after this battle. On the contrary, there is a faint tendency to expand towards the army. This is not a good thing for the royal family. Compared with Norton, who does not know much about the situation, Tang Zhao is still more inclined to cooperate with him.

Julia many times.

"Don't worry. The Castei family will not be a threat to the Royal Family of Oran. Norton also knows this very well. He will not do anything that threatens you. But this time the fleet, do you want to go with it to see it?

Depending on the situation, the captain I assigned is very interesting."
