Time goes back to a month and a half ago.
August 4th was the day when Ryan's army just captured Oran City.
After four days of traveling, the Lane Navy finally arrived at Rhode Island.
Sean stood on the deck of the main ship "Laine", blowing the sea breeze, watching Rhode Island gradually appear where the water and the sky meet, and he felt very happy.
Rhodes is a large island, covering an area of ​​about 30,000 square kilometers, almost as big as the city of Jon.
The island has a sparse population, but the land is quite fertile and there are two good deep-water ports.
Rhode Island has great potential for development. If it is properly developed, it will definitely become a wealthy island.
.
Sean was looking at Rhode Island from a distance in a daze.
At this moment, the raven transformed by Khadgar flew out of the cabin.
"Raven" landed on the deck in front of Sean and quickly transformed into a human form.
"Khadgar, how is the situation in the north?"
Seeing Khadgar appear, Sean immediately asked with concern.
At the same time, Sean also took out two glasses of [Magic Juice] from the [Dimensional Backpack] and gave him one cup.
Khadgar took the [Magic Juice], took a sip, and said with a smile:
"Sir, according to the news from the north: Lane's army has captured the gate of Oran City, and the Oran City defenders have also begun to retreat from the west gate. I believe that today, Lane's army will completely capture Oran City!
"
"Great!" Sean was very happy: "After taking Oran City, all the attention of the Shancha family will be attracted to it. During this period, we can develop the economy and consolidate the territory."
"Yes!" Khadgar nodded and said: "For some time in the future, the Shancha family will definitely stay in Windbreath City and not come out. We finally have a relatively peaceful development period."
Khadgar looked up at Rhode Island in the distance, and he was in a good mood.
Taking advantage of this period of time, he and Thor should quickly cultivate and break through the realm, so that they can share more pressure for adults in the future.

After a while, Windsor came on the deck.
He first smiled at Khadgar and said, "Back!"
"Well, I'm back." Khadgar responded with a smile.
"How's the situation up north?"
"The war is progressing well! Now Ryan's army has captured Oran City..."
Windsor and Khadgar began to chat.
·
After the greetings, Windsor said to Sean: "Sir, how have you considered the appointment of the consul of Rhode Island?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Sean shook his head.
Yesterday evening, Sean held a meeting. The main discussion was "After occupying Rhode Island, who should be appointed as the governor here?"
At the meeting, Lor'themar Theron proposed himself and was willing to serve as the governor here, but Sean vetoed it.
It's not that Sean is worried that Lor'themar is not qualified for the job. On the contrary, Lor'themar, who has served as the blood elf ruling king, is fully qualified for this position.
The reason why Sean rejected him was because Sean would rather have Lor'themar serve as the governor of Port Capul rather than waste his talents and energy on such a remote island.
Apart from Lor'themar, the only people under Shawn's command who have some ability to govern are Anduin and Thor.
Needless to say, Anduin will definitely need him to manage the city of Yohn in the future.
Thor...if he sends him to such a remote island again, Sean is afraid that he will accumulate resentment.
So we didn’t discuss the results last night.
Until now, Sean has no particularly good candidate.
.
"Wendsor." Sean smiled bitterly:
"It seems that we will have to train some of the indigenous people here to take on administrative jobs in the future.
Otherwise, what should we do if we have such a small territory now and the management personnel are stretched thin? If we become stronger in the future and have to take charge of land as large as the principality or even the kingdom?"
"You're right!" Windsor agreed with Sean's idea:
"Sir, the reason why I come to you now is because I have found a very good candidate to serve as consul! And you must not have thought of this candidate!"
"Oh? Who is it?" Sean became interested.
"This person is..." Windsor didn't talk around in circles and said it directly: "Nalarex, sir, do you remember him?"
"Nalarex?" Sean was slightly startled. He really had never thought of asking him to serve as the consul.
[Nalalex] is the elf druid that Sean's team rescued (bought) when they entered the [Wailing Cave] instance. It is a gold level player.
With his golden power, he can indeed serve as the consul of Rhode Island, but...
"Wendsor, it's still the same problem. I'm worried that Naralex doesn't have enough experience in governing!" Sean asked worriedly.
"It's okay, sir." Windsor smiled confidently:
"We can write the governance plan and hand it over to him and ask him to follow it. Moreover, with the [portal], we can also communicate in time and grasp the dynamics here.
The most important thing is that having Naralex be the governor here has a huge benefit!"
"Benefits?" Sean and Khadgar were slightly stunned, but they were both smart people, and they roughly understood what Windsor meant in an instant.
"You mean... transferring the plantation?"
"That's right." Windsor nodded:
"I was chatting with Anduin a few days ago, and he told me that the Elf Kingdom has noticed Naralex and his group of elves. There are many more spies on the border, and many residents in Hetan Town also know about it.
Regarding the elves, there was a lot of discussion about the plantation.
Moreover, if we want to expand the area of ​​the plantation in the future, it will inevitably be done under the eyes of the Elf Kingdom, which is very detrimental to the development of the plantation.
Therefore, I suggest that Naralex, the elves, and all the crops in the plantation be moved to Rhodes Island.
Rhodes Island is very far away from the Elf Kingdom, and the elves cannot reach here.
Moreover, the transportation in Rhode Island is very convenient. In the future, the magic medicinal materials produced by the elves can be produced, processed and transported to Port Kapur."
After Windsor finished speaking his point of view, he looked at Sean: "Sir, what do you think of my suggestion?"
"Very good suggestion!" Sean's eyes lit up.
Indeed, the development space for elves on Rhode Island is much larger than that in Riverside Town, and it is not easy for them to be coveted by hostile forces.
"Okay, I'll do as you say!" Sean replied:
"And I can ask the butler Henry to assist him. Henry is very experienced in managing the territory. Coupled with the [Teleport] communication, they will definitely be able to manage Rhode Island well!"
After Sean finished speaking, he turned to look at Khadgar: "Kadgar, I'll leave the work of relocating the plantation to you. Let's start the layout after we land on Rhode Island!"
Chapter completed!
