I'm Crowdfunding an Empire in Another World

"Perhaps we can establish a nation here." Under the gaze of a motley crowd, Xia Lan O'Gullos planted the Ink Sea Dragon Banner on Bolavis, which was still a desolate island. No one beli...

Chapter 37: Dream of a Thousand Towers

The wind is blowing on the emerald plains,

Blowing the ink sea dragon flag,

The white sails were blown up,

Listen!

The distant war song sounded again,

The heroic spirit with broken halberds raises its head,

The storm is coming,

The storm is coming,

All glory will begin again from the storm,

Repair the spears and halberds,

Reforge the broken sword,

Let the blood of killing wash over us,

Let glory stir up the wind and clouds,

The tears of loved ones may flow along with the blood,

But this is our fate!

Faox~

Faox~

May your battle song never fade away,

May your fallen soldiers rest in peace on the battlefield.

When you sleep in a place unknown to anyone,

Your children will never lower their eyes,

Even after falling into the underworld, he still gazes from afar,

Just to see the glory of Faox with sword in hand,

………

"Your Majesty, today is not a good day to travel."

Kanepal looked at the dark sky, which looked like a storm was coming.

"It's just the right time."

Xia Lan stood on the bridge of the Silver Deer and turned to Kanepali, who was observing the celestial phenomena with a smile.

"Old Captain, didn't you hear the farewell song on the shore? The storm is coming, it's very appropriate..."

"Of course it's no problem for an old man like me, but I'm worried that the young men on the boat can't withstand the wind and waves."

Kanepali smiled indifferently.

"Weaklings of the Storm Knights, show this old man what it means to be unable to withstand the wind and waves!"

Heli, who was next to Kanepali, couldn't stand hearing this, so she stomped her feet, walked to the railing and yelled.

"wind!"

"wind!"

"wind!"

A unified war cry rang out from each ship, spreading from the Knights to the entire fleet, drowning out the sound of the rushing Emerald River.

"Weigh anchor!"

At Xia Lan's command, the four sailboats, including the Silver Deer, raised their anchors and sailed down the rapids of the Emerald River.

Standing on the dock, Arnold looked at his apprentice Al who was desperately waving to him at the stern of the disappearing ship, and turned his head reluctantly.

"It seems the situation at Brownsea Island is very urgent. It's not worth sailing in this weather."

Frederick, who stayed behind, looked at the fleet that had completely disappeared with a worried look on his face.

"Humph, it was all caused by him. Killing the sea merchants, I don't know what he was thinking."

Arnold glared in annoyance. He strongly disagreed with Xia Lan's order to massacre the merchants, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of Xia Lan due to his tyranny. Now that Xia Lan was gone, he could finally speak freely.

"You better take care of the school. Those kids almost burned it down yesterday."

Hearing this, Arnold's face became even uglier. He walked towards the school angrily with his hands behind his back. It seemed that these kids were too bored and he had to give them more tasks.

The people who saw him off gradually dispersed. Before leaving, Xia Lan made arrangements: Frederick would be in charge of military affairs, Melvin would be in charge of civil affairs, Arnold would be in charge of the school (children), Arthurs would look after the house, and he would discuss important matters with several old people.

Arnold was very embarrassed when he was assigned to manage the school yesterday and those brats brought a Warcraft lion cub into the classroom and almost burned down the school.

In a few days, the little red flame golden lion became familiar with the school children after taking turns feeding it. This time, because it was still too young and had no fighting ability, its owner Aceris kept it. The person responsible for taking care of it was naturally Aceris's younger brother Maidan.

Outside the classroom, a group of children were grilling meat with the little lion, sprinkling spices brought back from Brownsea Island on it, and then eating the skewers with great enjoyment.

"The principal is back!"

Seeing Arnold rushing through the wooden gate in a menacing manner, the kids scattered. They didn't expect Arnold to come back so soon.

They did not go to the dock to see them off, but all stood on the watchtower to watch the fleet set sail, just to have some time to barbecue, but they didn't expect to be stuck again.

Only the little lion was left standing there in a daze. Seeing that the little two-legged animals around him had all run away, facing this ferocious old man, he screamed and ran to Arthurs' Dragon Palace (a larger wooden house) to seek protection.

Unfortunately, the elder brother he had just recognized was not at home. Instead, he took advantage of Xia Lan's absence to turn Xia Lan's palace (the second largest wooden house) upside down, but did not dig out a single gold coin. He was lying on the roof with a depressed look on his face, feeling hopeless.

"I'm so stupid, really. I knew Xia Lan was a treacherous villain, but I still believed his lies..."

"A-choo!"

Xia Lan touched his nose. After sailing from morning to afternoon, the boat finally reached a safe channel away from Bolavis. This channel was located northeast of Bolavis, and the starting point was the Homecoming Bay where Arthurs often went to the bottom of the sea to search for treasure.

“Because it is close to the Storm Sea, the waves around Boravice are very rough. Coupled with the hidden reefs scattered throughout the surrounding waters, even the most skilled sailors can easily lose control of their ships and run aground.

However, under the sea surface of this route, there are mountains on both sides that are almost connected to the sea level, which not only blocks the surging waves, but also has no reefs in the deep sea in the middle.

The dangerous waters around Boravice are now a barrier to the Kingdom of Phaokes, but once the kingdom grows stronger, they will become an obstacle to connecting with the outside world. At that time, we can build lighthouses on this complex and safe waterway to guide ships."

Listening to Kan Nepal's introduction, Xia Lan looked at the reefs that were faintly visible under the waves and said:

"Boravius ​​is the cradle of the Kingdom of Phaoxus, but to become powerful, we must leave this dreamland. Perhaps the guiding path created by the thousand sea lighthouses at that time is also the path for the rise of Phaoxus."

"Perhaps by then, the largest maritime city will also be built in Homecoming Bay."

Kanepali also looked at the sea of ​​homecoming that was getting farther and farther away and couldn't help but fantasize.

"I hope that by then Arthurs will have made a fortune with his Blue Dragon Bank. Otherwise, it would be a shame to have a blue dragon diving into the seabed to retrieve treasures from this natural harbor every day."

Xia Lan knew Arthurs' greedy nature too well. No one knew where the more than ten boxes of gold coins fished out from the Homecoming Bay were hidden. Having tasted the sweetness, he would not let go of this treasure pool. As long as he was paid with gold coins, the dignity of the dragon could be sold by kilogram.

"I hope that doesn't happen."

Thinking of that scene, Kannibuli couldn't help but want to take off the wine flask at his waist and drink a few sips to calm his nerves, but he also knew where he and the others were, so he had to put the idea out of his mind.

Xia Lan thought again of the pile of dragon bone wood that Arthurs fished out from the Homecoming Bay. It was not only magical wood, but also engraved with runes. Now Bolavis has abundant forest resources, but only lacks skilled shipbuilders. Let's see if he can bring back a group of shipbuilders this time.

However, it was not easy to take the batch of dragon bone wood from Arthurs. The guy was getting more and more cunning. He originally wanted to come along this time, but the increasingly dangerous Bolavis also needed this sixth-level blue dragon to guard the place. Xia Lan used a little trick and pretended to leave the gold coins behind, making him feel that there was an opportunity.

So Arthurs, who was throwing a tantrum yesterday, said today with all his might that he wanted to stay.

I should have left a gold coin earlier, otherwise Arthurs would have searched through all the boxes and drawers for a whole day and found nothing, and it would be difficult to cheat next time.
