Chapter 85: The Fortress is Completed (Please vote for recommendation! Aaaaaa!)
Chapter 85: Fortress Completion
Because the pirates were interrogated separately, they were not aware of each other's answers.
Therefore, under the coercion and inducement of the Idar soldiers, they quickly revealed the truth.
The pirates' statements were basically consistent, which greatly increased the authenticity of the existence of the Fran Islands.
The Faran Islands east of Idarland...
This was the first time Bruno heard a description of the sea east of Idar from someone else.
Bruno has always had a very special feeling for the ocean.
After all, in the previous life, the arrival of the Age of Exploration opened a door for humans who had been living on land to explore the new world, and thus started a road of colonial plunder that lasted for hundreds of years.
Perhaps for other imperial nobles, unknown islands like the Fran Islands far away from the mainland have no value, but in Bruno's view, the Fran Islands may be his first step out of Idar Territory! The vast ocean may hide countless dangers, but it may also bury endless treasures! Although this is a magical world different from the earth, the benefits that may exist in the ocean also make Bruno extremely jealous.
The name of the French Islands has been deeply imprinted in Bruno's mind at this moment.
The Fran Islands must belong to the Territory of Idar, and can only belong to the Territory of Idar!
Captain Jack's words seemed to reveal the great pirate Kelvin Prato's interest in the Fran Islands...
A famous pirate leader actually wants to occupy the sea outside Idar Territory? This is something Bruno absolutely cannot tolerate!
Therefore, since crossing over, Bruno finally felt the urgency from the outside world for the first time! Although he is a Norman lord, the ocean is not his home! Therefore, Bruno must build up enough water power to protect Idar before Kelvin Prato controls the Fran Islands.
As for the Francia Archipelago, Bruno was even more determined to obtain it, because he had already regarded the Francia Archipelago as an entry ticket for him to officially enter the ocean!
Once Bruno can own the ocean, he will own the trade routes on the sea, and it will be possible to extend the tentacles of Idar Territory to further places!
This is of great significance to Bruno and the Stuart family who have controlled the Idar Territory for generations.
However, shipbuilding... is the first hurdle Bruno faces.
The Idar Territory had craftsmen who were capable of building ships, but the boats they had previously built were small fishing boats for catching sea fish. They had no experience in building the warships that Bruno needed.
However, as for the problem of manpower, the Idar Territory was no longer so short of it for the time being.
This was thanks to the construction of Idar Avenue and the propaganda of Idar's spies in the noble territories near Idar.
In just over a month, a large number of migrant workers have poured into Idar. Most of them are civilians living in poverty. They have the courage to come to Idar to test the waters and explore the way.
The Idar Immigration Administration headed by Lister registered these recent influx of foreign population one by one, and arranged accommodation for them after they completed isolation and quarantine.
Most of them have already moved into the working people's community planned by Bruno along the Idar River and have become a glorious Idar worker!
Just when Bruno began to plan the next step for the Idar Territory, news that made Bruno extremely happy finally came from the banks of the Soren River.
The long-awaited Namur Fortress has finally been completed!
After hearing the news, Bruno hurriedly took Liszt and others and rushed straight to the banks of the Sauron River without stopping.
There is no way, this is like someone comes to give you a pillow just when you want to take a nap!
Although the craftsmen of Idar don't know how to make warships, there are blueprints of warships in the system mall! Not only that, but there are also many kinds of warships, everything you need!
Bruno felt delighted when he thought about the brilliant points he would soon receive as a reward from the system.
Just two words, happy! From a distance, you can see the Namur Fortress not far away. Different from the gorgeous and dignified Hanging Gardens, the Namur Fortress gives people a sense of grandeur and majesty.
In particular, the towering walls of the Namur Fortress appear to be extremely solid and unbreakable after being coated with a layer of cement concrete.
The Namur Fortress covers a large area. Whether it is the scale of the building or the various defensive facilities that have been reserved in advance, it is far superior to the imperial fortresses of the same level. If there are enough people, it is entirely possible to build defenses from low to high. Moreover, from the outermost part of the fortress to the inner part of the fortress, at least three walls must be passed! It is firmly rooted on the south bank of the Sauron River, and with the turbulent Sauron River on the north side, it is not an exaggeration to call it a natural moat.
It is said that when Earl Soren, who had just recovered from a serious illness, stood on the terrace of his castle, he could see the majestic figure of the Namur Fortress, and was once again furious...
What a poor man...
When Bruno and his party arrived at the Namur Fortress, White Barrell had been waiting at the main gate of the fortress for a long time with the people responsible for building the Namur Fortress.
"Your Excellency the Earl..." White Barrell greeted excitedly.
Unlike the construction of the Hanging Gardens, the Namur Fortress was the first wonder that White Barrel presided over the construction of as the chief engineer of Idar. Therefore, he paid special attention to the construction of the Namur Fortress. In addition to regularly inspecting the progress of road construction, he stayed at the construction site on the banks of the Sauron River almost every moment.
"Well done! My lord, I was right about you!" Bruno praised happily as soon as he got off the horse.
"Thank...thank you for the praise, sir..." White Barrell said excitedly.
Before my master even entered the Namur Fortress, he praised me for my good repairs...
What does this mean? This represents the unparalleled trust that my Lord Earl has in me! I... really did not follow the wrong person!
For a moment, White Barrell was filled with gratitude and tears flowed like a fountain.
"I will work harder for you in the future..." White Barrell choked up.
In fact, the reason why Bruno started praising as soon as he arrived was because as soon as he arrived at Namur Fortress, a pop-up dialogue window from the system flashed into his field of vision.
