Chapter 503: Taking a nap with Ellie and the situation

After rescuing Ranta.

Rand entered a period where it could take a relative breath.

Of course, there are more things to do than in peacetime, but at least, the Blue King's impatience and recklessness mean that many of Rand's plans do not need to be moved forward.

The Blue King is the enemy of humans and an ally of vampires. It was originally very difficult to make this public and make everyone believe it.

Because in theory the Blue King has no motivation to do so. As the "king" of mankind, his power will bring him unparalleled wealth and power.

What good is it to form an alliance with a non-human race like vampires? Rand doesn't have to worry about it now.

So today Rand slept in a rare moment, dragging Ellie along with him.

Rand planned to go back to work in the afternoon.

Rand was lying on the bed, with Ellie's hair falling on his belly.

Spit dripped onto Rand's skin.

After a moment, Ellie looked up.

Ellie wiped her lips, her ice-blue eyes glaring as she said vaguely, "Are you satisfied?"

Rand nodded and stroked Ellie's soft, lovely face with his hand.

The lovely appearance is innate, and because of Rand's appearance, many tragedies that should have happened did not happen.

So although Ellie's temperament has become a little more stable due to her age, her lovely basic nature has not disappeared.

Instead of becoming a cold queen as in the original plot of "Deep Moon".

"If you are satisfied, use your smart brain to think of a solution. My sister is still waiting for your strategy." Ellie raised her snow-white neck, swallowed the liquid in her mouth and spoke.

"Ahem, you haven't been very busy lately." Rand put his arms around Ellie's waist and pushed her down on the bed from where she was half sitting up, so that she was close to his body.

Ellie's skin is delicate and smooth like satin.

Ellie hugged Rand's waist and put her face on Rand's chest: "Why don't you get up yet? You're so lazy."

"I'm just lazy." Rand chuckled and closed his eyes again.

Since he had decided to lie down until noon, he would not get up until Olena or Elsa came to call him to eat, and he would just stay in bed.

Then Rand and Ellie really lay there until noon, when they were woken up by Olenna helplessly.

Ellie and Rand have similar habits, which is different from Elsa or Olenna.

Olenna likes a regular schedule. She gets up in the morning to practice swordplay, or drags Ellie and Rand to practice swordplay together. She starts working with Rand, then works until noon, takes a lunch break, works until the evening, and then washes up and goes to bed.

If there is no special mission, Olenna will not stay up late.

Elsa is on more missions outside, but if she is in the sanctuary, her schedule is relatively regular.

As for Lisa, no one knows what her daily routine is. She is very mysterious and can only be found when she is needed. She is basically nowhere to be found when she is not needed.

Ellie and Rand are different. They like to stay in bed when they have free time and are a bit playful.

Maybe it's because I developed this habit because I lived a more comfortable life when I was young.

Of course, Olenna felt that she was also responsible. Her doting on Ellie and Rand must be one of the reasons why these two were so lazy.

Although Olenna would actually be happy to do more.

Life now is really worth cherishing.

Ellie is a very important person in Olenna's life, as is Rand, and now they can live together.

Olena knew how rare this was and she cherished it.

But anyway, getting up at noon was too much: "It's time to get up. The quilt will get moldy if you lie down any longer."

Rand and Ellie both arched their backs and pretended not to wake up.

Then he was dragged out of bed by Olenna.

After washing up, Rand slowly came to the lord's hall, and Ellie also went to the administrative building.

"What's going on now?" Rand asked.

…

at the same time.

Outside Crescent Moon Harbor, in the distance, at a distance that is difficult to observe from Crescent Moon Harbor, countless large ships are rising and falling in the waves.

The flag of the Kingdom of Borun was clearly visible on the fleet.

But now the leader of the fleet felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a rotten orange.

This was a surprise attack that had been planned for some time, without warning and caught the enemy by surprise.

Ever since Rand annexed a large area of ​​the Kingdom of Borun, especially a coastal port, the international prestige of the Kingdom of Borun has declined significantly.

Later, they counterattacked, but were restrained due to concerns about the expansion of the war, and were then defeated by Rand.

Even King Boren shamefully paid Rand compensation in secret.

King Bolen and the nobles of the Bolen Kingdom, of course, always remembered this incident.

Unfortunately, the Undead invaded again, and the country fell into a bloody war, and the poison of the dead forced them to use Rand's plan.

All I can say is that the country has been failing and people’s hearts are a little scattered.

An inspiring victory is urgently needed to regroup.

Is there any better way than to reclaim our homeland?

The King of the Kingdom of Bolen was well aware of how difficult Rand was to deal with, so he had never dared to take any real action until some time ago, when he finally found an opportunity.

Rand Nicholas is actively against vampires, and apparently for some reason, Rand is approached by the vampires.

Now the internal forces must be focused on fighting against vampires.

So……

Is the power to guard the territory weaker?

The Kingdom of Borun did suffer considerable losses in the undead incident.

But the losses were all caused by the army.

But the Kingdom of Bolen was able to achieve its current status as a great power not by relying on the army, at least not just the army.

The Kingdom of Bolen is a coastal country that controls the inland sea trade around the country with its powerful ocean fleet.

With these, the Kingdom of Borun obtained countless wealth. In order to ensure its control over the ocean, the Kingdom of Borun formed a powerful fleet.

If Rand wants to engage in ocean trade now, he will have to pay taxes to the Kingdom of Bolen.

In fact, if it weren’t for the appearance of the nine-headed sea serpent Hyde, the Kingdom of Bolen might not have lost so badly in the previous two-way attack by sea and land.

Rand has always wanted to challenge the maritime hegemony of the Kingdom of Boren, but Rand has always been aware of the gap in maritime strength between the two sides, so he has always been holding back and slowly accumulating wealth.

Metal plate inlays, Greek fire, and sail improvements are what Rand now plans to accumulate.

But the Kingdom of Bolen was obviously much more anxious than Rand.

They didn't know that Rand was secretly accumulating wealth, nor did they think that Rand was qualified to challenge their maritime hegemony. They just needed to take back Crescent Harbor while Rand was distracted by other things.

After Rand's continuous construction and the investment of the nobles of the Frost Moon Kingdom as a whole, Crescent Moon Harbor has become a port that is very worthy of robbing.

Moreover, regaining lost territory from Rand would also be a good thing to boost domestic morale.

Everything was ready.

But the letter came from the kingdom.

"Is the Blue King's brain eaten by maggots? Why did he want to kill the Queen of Lunsa?" The fleet commander's face twitched.

Everything was really ready.

With the powerful fleet strength of the Kingdom of Borun, this is bound to be a glorious victory.

But now, the Blue King and his vampire allies broke into the capital of the Kingdom of Lunsa and killed the old queen of Lunsa.

This is simply...

The fleet commander found it difficult to describe the disgusting feeling he felt.

This meant that they could not attack Rand.

The reason is simple. Obviously, the Blue King is now a much greater threat than Rand.

But Rand himself is not a little bug that can be crushed to death.

The fleet was very confident of victory this time, but Rand's reputation was there, and no one dared to guarantee that they could easily defeat Rand.

And this operation is essentially divided into two steps, capturing Crescent Moon Port and defending Crescent Moon Port.

Now, it is obviously impossible to keep a force here to guard Crescent Moon Harbor.

The Azure King kills the king, and the kings of all kingdoms will pay attention and try to encircle and suppress the Azure King.

The king of the Kingdom of Bollen must be very nervous now. The Kingdom of Bollen and the Kingdom of Lensa are not far away. If the King of Blue really goes crazy, he may come to kill the King of Bollen after killing the Queen of Lensa.

King Boren was not actually very afraid of dying in battle, but being humiliated and killed by a king was something he absolutely could not accept.

This letter is the withdrawal order sent by the Kingdom of Bolen to the fleet commander.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Damn it, damn it, Rand Nicholas, you're lucky!" the fleet commander cursed.

The fleet commander himself also had a blood feud with Rand. When they invaded the Dukedom of the Moon Phase, his younger brother died at the hands of Rand.

Although it is said that swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield, understanding this does not mean that blood feuds will disappear.

After taking a few breaths to calm himself down, the fleet commander gave a cold order: "The king has ordered us to return!"

…

And at this time.

Taner, who had just led his troops to Crescent Moon Harbor, was on high alert.

The Kingdom of Bolen did a really good job keeping secrets this time.

Rand received no news until the fleet set off.

Fortunately, a lot of preparations had been made beforehand, and there were Nagas keeping watch in the nearby waters.

When Naga discovered that the fleet of the Kingdom of Borun was approaching, she quickly returned to Crescent Moon Port to report.

Then it was transmitted to General Taner through the vibration communication device.

Taner immediately counted his troops and rushed to Crescent Moon Harbor.

Taner breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the coastline was calm.

I can only say that the upgrade of the military theory of the Sanctuary forces is really useful.

Now, at least within the territory of the Duke of the Moon, there is a vibration communication device to transmit messages.

For marching, there are brick and stone roads.

The speed of communication and marching was very fast.

Without the advantages of communication and marching, it might be completely too late.

It's much better now. There's still some time to prepare: "Everyone! Everyone! Defend the coastline!"

Taner's deep and clear voice echoed in Crescent Moon Harbor.

"Move all the crossbows over!"

"The sandbags are ready."

"Come here, some people! Prepare the barricades!"

Although Taner was anxious, he gave orders in a very methodical and orderly manner.

Taner stared at the coastline.

While giving orders, he explained the situation to the middle-level officers around him: "The Borun Kingdom has sent a fleet to us. They must be planning a surprise attack. We must be prepared. But don't worry. Lord Rand has also received the news and will be here soon. Those Borun Kingdom pigs are no match for Lord Rand, nor for us."

The middle-level officers around him quickly understood the situation and then took up their tasks.

Taner is very trusted by everyone.

Lord Tanner was the one who followed Lord Rand to fight from the beginning.

Lord Rand trusts Taner very much, and everyone trusts Taner too.

Lord Taner was also one of the compilers of the required course on war studies.

Taner is a burly man who looks between young and middle-aged. He has kept his beard trimmed more neatly since he got married.

Standing there, like a deep pool and a majestic mountain.

Moreover, even when faced with an emergency, he would not panic. For example, now, facing an emergency military situation, he could still give orders in an orderly manner and give everyone confidence.

…

Rand, who was originally processing official documents in the Lord's Hall and understanding the world situation, hurried over with the Holy Land Guards after receiving the news.

It took about half a day for Rand to arrive at Crescent Moon Harbor.

It can only be said that the optimization of roads has really brought about an increase in marching speed.

Rand thought that when he arrived, the place would already be engulfed in war.

But it didn’t.

All I saw was Taner, who was ready for battle.

"So slow?" Rand asked in confusion.

"Maybe they don't agree that speed is the essence of war." Taner recalled the required content of war studies and thought.

"It's hard to understand." But Rand still breathed a sigh of relief. It was always a good thing if the enemy came slowly and gave us more opportunities to prepare.

The army of the Kingdom of Borun is very powerful and must be treated with caution.

Then……

...Rand and Tanner squatted at the dock until dark.

"Are they planning a night attack?" Rand asked doubtfully.

"A naval battle and a night attack... the probability of slipping and drowning is too high." Taner thought.

…

The next morning.

Rand and Taner were puzzled.

The expected suitable time for attack did not bring any enemy attacks.

Rand waved his hand and asked the Naga to go for reconnaissance again.

After a while, Naga came back and reported: "My lord, the enemy's army has disappeared?"

"What does it mean to be missing?" Rand asked puzzledly.

The Naga was trembling all over, looking very nervous. "Before, I saw countless ships coming from the direction of the Bolen Kingdom, but now when I look again, they are gone."

Rand saw the naga's nervousness.

"It's okay, don't be nervous. Are you sure you really saw it before?" Rand asked patiently.

Naga nodded, "And I'm not the only one who saw it."

Rand nodded: "Go down and claim your reward."

Rand didn't think that the Naga would lie about military intelligence. It was very easy to determine the authenticity of such things. The secret military operations of the Kingdom of Borun could not be kept secret forever. The intelligence personnel in the Kingdom of Borun would be summoned later.

Moreover, Rand thought that his governance of the Naga was reasonable, and he shouldn't be disgusted by the Naga scouts.

"I will stay here for a while." Rand said, "Send a message to Fenris and ask him to make more preparations to avoid any tricks to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

A messenger immediately took the order and went down.

"I really don't understand." Rand rubbed his chin.
