Chapter 606 The Happy Life of the Calant Family
It was not until the next day that Rand talked to Bolan about the incidental matter.
That is the serious business in theory, how to deal with the pirate gangs of the Kingdom of Borun.
"Do you have any strategy?" Bolan and Rand sat opposite each other, and Bolan looked at the information about the Bolan pirate gang in his hand.
The intelligence system of the Sanctuary Force is very advanced.
It was initially formed by Ellie and later handed over to Elsa. After years of continuous development, it has become very comprehensive and institutionalized.
"The fleet of the Bolan Pirates is very large, and their whereabouts are difficult for us to conceal on such a huge scale," Rand analyzed, "but being able to discover them does not mean we can defeat them."
"It will take at least three years to form a fleet alliance, defeat the fleet of the Kingdom of Bolun and seize the position of the overlord of the ocean."
"But now, due to various changes in the situation, the formation of our naval alliance is not going too smoothly. At least in terms of fleet strength, we are still far from being able to defeat the Borun Kingdom fleet."
"But even though our fleet's strength is not developing very fast, their situation is even worse. Their fleet now has no land to rely on, making it difficult to get supplies, and their morale has also dropped a lot."
Rand finished his analysis.
"So you plan to continue blocking their supplies and restricting their routes, and wait until they run out of ammunition and food before letting me launch a final attack?" Bolan could clearly understand the meaning of Rand's words.
Rand nodded and smiled: "Yes, this is the most economical and least loss-making method for us. I have been doing this for a long time, and the time is coming soon."
"Very good, I can take action at any time." Bolan nodded his chin.
"Now, help me 'get rid of' some work?" Rand pointed to the barely tidy work files on the table.
Bolan held his forehead with his hand. "Your Majesty, this is a national event for you. Is it really okay to let the king of another country watch? Or has your laziness overshadowed your vigilance?"
Rand waved his hand: "It's okay, we are a family now, right?"
"Huh." Bolan pulled his stool closer to the table and opened the documents on Rand's desk.
In previous letters to Ellie, Ellie would sometimes make fun of Rand's laziness and exploitation of the labor of those around him.
Sure enough, the pressure has now come to her.
She had assisted Rand in handling the affairs of the territory as Ellie, so it was not difficult for her to get started. She really had nothing to do now, so it might not be a bad idea for her to help.
Now they are truly a family, and there is nothing for Bolan to be shy about.
Then, Ellie Calant, the queen of the Moon Kingdom, arrived at the office.
Ellie looked at Rand who was at work and Bolan who also started working. Ellie looked around the office and saw that there was no third person. She glared and said, "Your Majesty, the great White King, why did you come to the Holy Land but not visit your sister? Is it because I am no longer favored by you?"
Bolan didn't mind his sister's strange accent.
Bolan just frowned.
The reason why he has been here for a whole day and hasn't gone to see his sister, his only blood relative still alive in this world.
That's naturally because some things are still difficult to deal with at the moment.
Bolan sighed slightly: "Ma'am, please be careful about your behavior."
Ellie was stunned. The name Bolan was quite unexpected.
Bolan usually called her by her name, and occasionally called her the Queen.
However, the word "Madam" is intriguing.
Ellie looked at Rand.
Rand nodded.
Ellie's eyes suddenly turned into one of disbelief.
Although she was the one who pushed for all this, it was a bit unreal that it had come to fruition.
Ellie looked at her sister, Berlan, for a moment, then at Rand.
The relationship between the two didn't seem to have changed much.
Ellie blurted out subconsciously: "Are you just surrendering like this?"
Bolan sighed, "I did surrender, you win."
"Yeah!" Ellie clenched her fist and shook it vigorously, "We won!"
Rand was a little embarrassed.
In a sense, it can be regarded as defeating the strongest person in the world.
Although the atmosphere is a bit strange.
Bolan was not embarrassed. Although she did come here to interfere with other people's feelings, since the decision had been made and everything that needed to be done had been done, there was actually nothing to worry about.
Now that she has made the decision, she will try her best to keep the relationship going.
"Well, my queen, if you have enjoyed the joy of victory, let's get to work together." Bolan raised the documents in his hand, "You are not going to hand over all the work to me, your lover, right?"
Ellie was silent.
This made Ellie a little confused.
Her sister has always been a generous person, but being so straightforward still made Ellie a little overwhelmed.
So now I'm the wife and my sister is the lover?
It feels like my status has suddenly improved a lot, but it seems that nothing has changed.
In this world, wives and lovers either never see each other, or the lover's status is not much different from that of a maid.
The specific situation varies in different regions and is also related to the identity of the lover himself.
And in the Moon Kingdom, in the Nicholas family, things are also quite strange.
In short, everything was a mess and Ellie could only barely manage the whole family. Now she had gotten what she wanted, but it was probably more difficult to manage the family.
Ellie pulled a chair and sat next to Bolan: "You were here yesterday...?"
Ellie moved her nose. Although the room had been cleaned and the windows opened for ventilation, there was still a slight smell left.
"Yes, but do you have to use your sensitive nose here?" Bolan poked Ellie's forehead with his fingertips. She still had nothing to be ashamed to admit.
Ellie rubbed her forehead, and then began to assist her sister and husband in handling state affairs.
The autumn sun is not very warm.
Several weak beams of light slanted into the office from the glass windows high up, casting colorful but hazy beams of light in the air, illuminating the tiny dust particles in the air.
The air was filled with the smell of ink from writing with a feather pen, as well as the barely fragrant smell of paper.
Now there is an atmosphere of family being together.
But it would be even better if it was not work but a picnic.
"The weather is nice today. Do you want to go to the top of the mountain for a picnic?" Rand knew that it was not very nice to have his wife and her sister work here in such an occasion.
But if you don't deal with your work, it will just pile up.
Therefore, unless it is particularly urgent, there is no need to disrupt the working environment. Just finish your work first and then take a rest.
Rand has always demanded his work to be a job.
Because if you regard yourself as a king, a lord, or the supreme authority.
Then the pressure you need to bear will be too great, and your perspective on things will often change.
For the king, the entire country may be his property, and he can do whatever he wants with his property. Protecting the country is nothing more than protecting his private property.
As for work, politics is just part of the job.
Then all you need to abide by are professional ethics and some inner ideals.
Of course, this is just what Rand thinks at the moment. As for what other people think, Rand doesn't care too much.
Thanks to the help of Queen Ellie and the White King.
The work was handled quickly, and Rand quickly completed the day's work and was able to leave work early.
For the remaining ordinary staff, they are of course required to go to work on time and leave work on time.
But as the chief at work, Rand can naturally exercise his privileges at times like this.
This privilege is also a privilege in the sense of work, not a privilege in the sense of a king.
After all, the king doesn't need to finish his get off work before leaving work.
After Rand locked the door of his office, he took his family to the back mountain of the sanctuary.
In the beginning, the back mountain was planned as an industrial area, but later when the Burning Land was built, all the highly polluting industries were moved to the Burning Land.
After all, both metallurgy and papermaking are very polluting industries.
Although today this scale of manufacturing and production is not worthy of the term "industry".
However, Rand still tentatively calls some of the industries of the current Sanctuary forces industrial systems.
True industrialization may have to take decades to be driven by a population of millions.
But Rand didn't mind starting today.
Or rather, he had been trying to lay the foundation a long time ago.
It was already evening by the time the barbecue grill, firewood, seasonings, meat and vegetables were moved to the top of the mountain.
This time, there were only Rand, the White King and Ellie's family at the picnic.
"Barbecuing is so civilized." Rand set up the grill skillfully and lit a fire.
Bolan and Ellie also went to fill up the nearby mountain spring and then washed the vegetables and meat.
The meat for barbecue usually needs to be marinated overnight to make it taste better.
However, in this case, with the temporary pickling and Rand's cooking skills, it won't be too bad.
Soon the smell of fireworks appeared on the top of the hill.
Rand used a long wooden chopstick to poke the meat on the grill.
Bolan was not surprised by Rand's skilled cooking skills. After all, Rand was the one who invented the den cooking competition.
Of course, it is now called the Sanctuary Cooking Competition.
She watched Rand's movements and commented, "Very sophisticated cooking."
Rand knew why Berlan said that.
Because in the barbaric country of the White Kingdom, eating barbecue has always been rather rude.
Rand had seen a lot when he led the Knights of the White Kingdom to resist the orcs in the north of the White Kingdom.
The fact that someone like Ellie could tolerate the food in the hideout proved that the White Country had a very strong tolerance for food.
Of course, the White Kingdom's court chefs can still make some pretty delicious food.
It’s just that neither the White King nor Ellie can be said to be spoiled.
Bolan assisted Rand in dividing the roasted meat.
Then he stuffed a mouthful into Ellie's mouth as she sat there waiting to be fed.
Ellie sat on the tree stump and puffed her cheeks with satisfaction.
The three people present are actually not young anymore.
It's just that for various reasons, they don't look very old.
Ellie's mentality will become younger when she is with Rand and Berlan.
Naturally, you become the one to be taken care of.
Ellie narrowed her eyes in amusement.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, he chatted with Rand and Bolan again: "It would be nice if we could meet more often like this in the future."
"It doesn't take too long to travel between the White Kingdom and the Moon Kingdom now. With good roads, strong mounts, and roadside stations, I will try to come more often. If you are free, you can also come to the White Kingdom to find me." Of course, Bolan also hopes to meet Ellie and Rand more often.
When I was with Ellie and Rand, everything was still warm.
It is completely different from the cold palace and cold throne of the White Kingdom.
Although the White King has long been accustomed to the cold, if it does not destroy his sister's happiness, then staying close to warmth will be a natural choice.
After the three people finished eating the barbecue, they started to wash and organize the dishes.
They really do look like an ordinary family.
After all, grilling meat, washing dishes, and fetching water do not require extraordinary strength.
Extraordinary powers are only needed to protect everything you have now.
Therefore, the high-ranking officials of the Sanctuary, including Rand, who are fully aware of the preciousness of current life, have never slacked off in their training of strength.
Just like now.
Elsa is about to arrive at the Champs-Elysées Kingdom in the south.
Olenna, who had also finished get off work in the upper sanctuary, changed into training clothes, drew out her weapon given to her by Rand, and began basic swordsmanship training.
Lisa was still half lying on the branch of the golden tree sapling.
Occasionally, a light as dazzling as the sun flashed in his half-closed eyes.
…
And further away, in the sea that now belongs to the Moon Kingdom.
The leader of the Borun Pirates, the former king of the Borun Kingdom, crushed the letter in his hand.
"Damn it, damn it Rand." He could only curse, but there wasn't much he could do.
"Your Majesty, our supplies are almost exhausted." The subordinates came to report.
The former king of the Kingdom of Bolen cursed a few more times.
The reason why supply is difficult is that one can always encounter Rand's fleet or the fleet of Rand's allies in nearby waters.
The power of these Lander fleets is nothing.
However, with the assistance of the Nagas loyal to Rand and the presence of flying mounts for reconnaissance, it is very difficult to encircle and capture Rand's fleet.
Then Rand's fleet could disgust them without restraint.
This left them exhausted and with difficulty getting a good source of supplies.
Now that we cannot get the support of the Southern Kingdom, we may have no choice but to take risks.
The face of the former king of the Kingdom of Borun was hideous and distorted.
