"Baron Bratt has been the city lord in Waterdeep City for more than ten years. He expanded the original dilapidated city lord's castle a lot. Most of his treasures are in the cellar warehouse, and some of them are in the secret door of his bedroom. I once saw him take out crystals and gems from it, right here." One of Baron Brat's wives brought Lin Fenghan into his bedroom and pointed to the wardrobe.
"Oh! Open it!"
"Um!"
Everyone bothered to open the closet and walked into a room of more than ten square meters. They were immediately dazzled by the gold and silver coins that filled the room.
Lin Fenghan looked at a pile of documents written on fine white paper and walked over quickly.
"Waterdeep population records!"
"Waterdeep territory map!"
"The Southern Continent family, power map."
"Southern Continent Resource Map!"
"Records of the standing military strength of various nobles in the Southern Continent."
"good!"
"very good!"
Lin Fenghan laughed while holding the document in his hand.
"Baron, have you found the treasure map? Why are you smiling so happily!"
"Yes! We must have discovered other secret passages and secret vaults." Ke Langde and Ma Youdun guessed.
"You all guessed wrong!"
Lin Fenghan happily held the document and said excitedly: "This is something more important than the gold coins in this room. It contains detailed documents and maps of the noble power, military strength, resources, and various places in Waterdeep City and the continent south of Dambreth."
"Although the information is not very accurate, it is enough for me to deduce how much strength our enemies can gather and how much strength we need to attack them. Whether our marching route will be disturbed, etc."
¡¡
"oh!"
Everyone nodded in confusion, only Jin Xiya¡¯s eyes lit up, and she looked at Lin Fenghan appreciatively.
After more than an hour of busy work, the calculation of the wealth of the Lord's Mansion of Waterdeep City was finally handed over to Lin Fenghan.
"Lord Baron, the value of the land and houses in the city lord's palace is beyond calculation. The carpets, furniture, calligraphy and paintings, and decorations are worth more than 2 million. The silver coins and gold coins in the warehouse and inner treasury add up to more than 12 million. . The value of pearls, crystals, gems, and handicrafts cannot be calculated. It is estimated to be worth at least more than seven million gold coins." Emina's eyes were filled with stars as she read the statistical data excitedly.
"so much!"
"It seems that the Brant family is rich, especially the nobleman Brant, who has only been enfeoffed for decades, has so much money. Sure enough! The wealth of a noble family with profound heritage cannot be underestimated." Lin Fenghan was shocked. sighed.
Berati shook his head quickly and said: "Not all nobles are so rich. Only this fat pig, Blatter, relies on Brent's family's signature to collect high amounts of ship tolls, docking fees, and entry fees. City expenses. Embezzling military expenses for the army stationed in the city, and embezzling military expenses for repairing the navy has caused people to lose their hearts and make everyone resentful. Otherwise, you would not have been able to attack the city lord's palace so easily."
"Yeah! We are indeed very lucky. I hope all enemies are as corrupt and cowardly as Baron Bratt. That would be great!" Lin Fenghan smiled softly and said his blessing.
¡¡
"Lord Baron, here is the latest information from the Captain of the Ponos Squadron. The remaining four ships of Brant's Eastern Fleet have formed a team and successfully caught the south wind and broke through our defense line. Fortunately, our transportation supplies The ship escaped in time and was not attacked by the other party."
The new recruit took a deep breath, wiped his sweat and said, "Captain Ponos feels that they must be heading to the Cape Watch port in the east. He ordered us to convey the information quickly."
"Oh! Open the map." Lin Fenghan was stunned when he looked at the jewelry, and quickly ordered Emina.
The detailed map was spread out on the table in Baron Bratt's bedroom. Lin Fenghan pointed to a city on the map that protruded from the easternmost part of the southern continental shelf and the northernmost part of the east, and said seriously.
"Cape Watch is the easternmost city in the Southern Continent that protrudes from the ocean. It has oceans on three sides. This city is one of the most prosperous transportation hubs in Dambreth. It is twenty years away from the closest place to the Elant Islands in the east. Many kilometers is not too far away. At night, standing north of the Elante Islands, you can see the lighthouse of Cape Watch City to the west in the clear night sky."
"This place is a highly mobile port. Part of Duke Brant's fleet is definitely stationed here. In order to maintain our material security and naval superiority, we must capture this place in the future."
¡°???! "
Another messenger quickly walked into the bedroom and said loudly: "General Bonos' cruise fleet brought urgent information. He found that there were a large number of militiamen, nobles, and supplies along the coast, coming from Cape Watch. , all the towns along the coast gather, and the direction of gathering points to Waterdeep City."
"What? The reaction is so fast!" Lin Fenghan raised his eyebrows in surprise and said seriously: "We must gradually defeat them one by one and cannot let them gather together, otherwise we will lose our advantage and the future situation will be difficult. In control.¡±
"Come here, order the navy to stop the delivery of supplies before night, and move the remaining small amount of food into Waterdeep City. The navy will all gather at eight o'clock tomorrow, and the army will also send half of its troops. I have decided to attack Cape Watch and teach them a lesson. "
"Let them understand that their own territory and property are more important than Brant's Waterdeep City." Lin Feng coldly knocked on the table and said seriously.
"yes!"
Vera, Kelande, and the messengers all paused and nodded solemnly.
Lin Fenghan turned around and looked at Jin Xiya, Berati and others, and said softly: "I have decided to give each of you 100 gold coins. After one month, you can leave with something that truly belongs to you. Before that, you must Stay in the main city.¡±
"Why?" Berardi asked puzzledly.
"I'm afraid that you will become my enemy, do you understand? Little fool."
"Okay everyone, I'm going to go down and check the situation first. If there are any problems, we will discuss it at night." Lin Fenghan smiled faintly at several women and slowly walked down with Vera and others.
Looking at Lin Fenghan leaving, several women started chatting.
"Baron Yiliuyun! He looks so young, a bit masculine and handsome!"
"The Baron of Elantra, I feel like he is really a bit different!"
"Yes! He is very talented. I heard from people around him that he was attacked in the main city some time ago, and with the remaining troops defeated, he defeated the strong and weak, Duke Brant's subordinate General Bertand."
"Well! He is not only familiar with army operations, he has also been very powerful at sea since he came to power. The pirates hundreds of kilometers around the Elante Islands who he taught did not dare to show up. I heard a businessman passing by here say that the surrounding ocean order Very good, even the merchants and fishermen in Waterdeep City are very grateful and admire him."
"When I really saw Baron Yiliuyun today, I found that he is really different. He knows how to fight and is very kind-hearted. It would be great if I could marry such a good man! What a pity! My identity It doesn¡¯t match the experience, Miss Berati, you have to work harder!¡±
"yes!"
"Don't make fun of me, I don't want to marry that bad guy!"
¡¡
Several women smiled gently at Berardi, and Jin Xiya stood alone in a corner. No woman was willing to really get close to her, no one!
