Time goes back to one hour ago.

Reese rushed back to the Pointed Fort and met Vitorino.

"Father, Ronin has entered the city, and Jamie is bringing him to the castle now."

"It's good that you're here."

To be honest, Vitorino was a little worried that Roning would not come.

After all, in the previous war with the Polante Bandits, he was supposed to lead the team himself but changed his mind at the last minute and did not go.

Even though you found a good excuse, others still have some opinions in their hearts.

He didn't know Roning's character, so it was possible that he would refuse the invitation like Wiggins did.

"How do you feel about meeting Roning?" Vitorino asked with a smile.

Reese thought about it, then shook his head: "I don't feel any sense of oppression from him. He and Crown Prince Garrett give people a completely different feeling."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like a fine sword drawn from its sheath. Ronin is just an ordinary man. If it weren't for outsiders saying so, I wouldn't think he is a Silver Knight at all."

"Hammet can't lie."

Vitorino smiled and said, "Roning has not shown his strength for so many years, which shows that he is very good at hiding his strength. You see that he is ordinary, which is probably how he always behaves to the outside world."

Roning said he really didn't.

"Send someone to the park to inform Luchi and other nobles and knights to attend the welcome dinner at the Pointed Fort tonight."

"Yes, father." Reese left the room.

"You seem to think highly of this Luo Ning. It seems that he has not yet regained his inheritance rights, right?"

In the room, Viscountess Parida glanced at her son's back as he left. It was a rare occurrence for her husband to ask Reese to pick someone up.

"Ronin has risen too fast, and after this war, Marvin, Kabir, Toru and others will support him."

Vitorino patted his big belly, his eyes revealing confusion: "I don't know what the Marquis is thinking, but I guess he will find an opportunity to reinstate Ronin later. After all, the relationship between the Hyde family and Wushan Castle is already terrible. Bretton has half the blood of the Hyde family, so his situation is rather awkward."

"What about our cooperation with Moonlight Valley?"

"We just made a deal with Jesus, not a collaboration."

Vitorino interrupted Parida and said, "After I didn't go to the battlefield and reached an agreement with the Count of the Screaming Sea, the deal was over."

He stood up.

"Let's go, Parida. We also need to prepare to let Roning feel the enthusiasm of the Dennis family!"

The Dennis family is indeed welcoming.

At the dinner, there were bright lights, a gorgeous band, melodious singers, beautiful dancers, etc. The standard was no less than that of Wushan Fort and it was extremely lively.

After the banquet, Vitorino invited Roning to his study.

"How do you feel, Ronin?"

“Very enjoyable!”

Luo Ning smiled and praised: "The seafood and wine in Pointe City are unparalleled, and the hospitality of the Dennis family makes me feel like I'm back home!"

"I am very happy to receive such high praise from you."

Vittorino was half lying in a chair, patting his bulging belly.

"I know you are in a hurry to get to Jinyu City, so I asked the port officials to prepare two sailboats of the Dennis family in advance. They can set off at any time."

"You are too polite, Viscount."

As the saying goes, if someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

Since the beginning of the banquet, Roning had been wondering why Vitorino was so enthusiastic towards him.

Simply expressing welcome would be a bit too grand.

"These are all easy things for me, you don't need to thank me."

Vitorino said, "In addition, I will also let my son Reese escort you to Golden Feather City. He is only interested in strong people and geniuses. If he wants to compete with you, I hope you can agree."

Roning's heart moved. Did the other party do so much just for Reese?

"Actually, I asked you to come here tonight because I have something else that I need you to mention to Wiggins or Lord Rulans."

It’s here, it’s finally here.

Luo Ning perked up a little: "Please go ahead."

"Count Screaming Island, you should know."

Roning nodded.

The Howling Sea is like an inverted triangle, and Pointed City is located on the right side of the top corner, so it is named "Pointed".

There are no less than a hundred islands of various sizes in this vast strait, the largest of which is Screaming Island, and the Fleming family is the owner of the island.

Thirty years ago, also because of his merits, Alfonso Fleming became the Earl of Screaming Island. In addition to these islands, his territory also includes an enclave on the west side of the Wushan Monster Mountain Range.

If the Monster Mountain Range is removed, Wu Beiling might even become a neighbor of the opposite side.

"From a geographical point of view, once the Fleming family blocks the northern waters, the sailboats in Port Dennis will only be able to wander around the tip of the near-harbor."

Vitorino looked slightly angry. "Over the years, the Fleming family has had many conflicts with me over this matter! Initially, thanks to the Marquis, they stayed quiet for a long time."

"But later, the Marquis' health was not good. After he handed over the affairs of the territory to Wiggins, the Fleming family kept causing trouble. The key point was that Earl Wiggins did not care about this matter."

The actual situation is that Wiggins wanted to intervene at first, but the other party gave him no face at all, and in the end it was nothing.

"So you want me to go to the Fleming family to coordinate this matter?"

Luo Ning shook his head slightly: "The other party may not give me face either."

Although he was also an earl, the one was an earl of a kingdom and the other was the newly-conferred earl of Wushanling, so their status were different.

Moreover, Roning's strength might not be enough in front of the opponent.

"No, no, I just want you to say a few good words to the Marquis, and at the same time ask Earl Wiggins to see if he can help me solve this problem."

The main reason why Vitorino did not go to the battlefield in person this time was that Jesus was willing to come forward to coordinate the matter, which eventually led to a three-year free navigation agreement between Dennis Port and Screaming Island.

But three years is too short.

If he had known that the battle in Chishan Town would result in a great victory for Wushanbao, he would never have agreed to Jesus' request.

Whenever he thinks of this incident, Vitorino still feels very regretful.

If he also participated, maybe he could also get a manor and a small town around the shore city.

The three-year agreement expires, but the acquired land generally does not.

It's just too late to regret.

Vitorino could only tell Dennis about the threat he was facing, hoping that Wushanbao would come forward again. Even if he couldn't get a permanent agreement, he should at least sign one for ten or eight years, right?

"Okay, I will tell the Marquis and Earl Wiggins about this matter."

He also realized that there was such a conflict between Howling Island and Pointed City.

A little analysis shows that this is indeed the case from a geographical point of view.

Once Screaming Island is blocked, no ships in Dennis Port will be able to leave.

Luo Ning couldn't help but think, if the port in Wubei Territory was successfully built, would it be possible to go counterclockwise along the coastline into the Howling Sea and sandwich the Earl of Howling Island in the middle?
