Food Poems

Chapter 97 Rear Admiral Wilson

Three days have passed since the massive beast attack.

Afterwards, small groups of wild beasts attacked one after another, but they posed no threat to the garrison at Morning Frost Ridge.

And based on past experience, the darkest moment has passed.

As the temperature gradually warms up, the threat posed by cold waves will gradually decrease, which heralds the arrival of spring and victory.

Without the assistance of the royal capital, the victory of Morning Frost Ridge against the beast tide this year would have been extremely hard-won.

Because of this, the lord who personally guarded the front line had an astonishing reputation in the territory.

Even Blueberry, the elf in the forest outside the town, learned from Ridgelife about Yeats's heroic deeds in holding the front line, and couldn't help but look at this human with admiration.

The fairy Blueberry flapped its tiny wings, flew around the girl in the red hood, and said with a smile:
"I heard that the nobles described in the poems were all fat-headed guys. I didn't expect Yeats to be so powerful."

Rigidrev held the staff with longing in her eyes, and recounted the story of Ye Zhi repelling the ghost army alone, and said softly:
"Without Lord Ye Zhi, I'm afraid that Morning Frost Ridge would have been invaded by those ghosts long ago..."

There was a hint of surprise in Blueberry's eyes.

From the description, it is not difficult to infer that the ghosts are the infamous Wild Hunt.

Blueberry once communicated with the spirits of nature on the seashore. It is said that the Wild Hunt can be seen on the vast ice sea.

I didn’t expect Yeats to have a way to deal with the Wild Hunt!

Blueberry was in a mixed mood. Thinking of the task of "ripening berries" that Yeats had given him, he muttered to himself:

"It seems that I can't be lazy anymore..."

January, 1459 of the Holy Calendar.

The dawn light broke through the clouds, illuminating the frozen pine needles. The square in the center of Morningfrost Ridge was decorated with ribbons. The town's carpenters and assistants were building a stage in preparation for the upcoming celebration.

Yeats announced that a fireworks celebration would be held at Morning Frost Ridge, which caused an extremely enthusiastic response among the people. Everyone rushed to tell each other and praised the lord's generosity and wisdom.

Fireworks are rare to see, let alone in the border territory of Morning Frost Ridge. Many civilians will only see fireworks a few times in their entire lives. This fireworks celebration undoubtedly aroused the enthusiasm of the townspeople!
Following Yeats's invitation in writing, the Starlight Chamber of Commerce's caravan arrived with fireworks, led by a halfling male named 'Holland', the second in command of the Chamber of Commerce.

In the reception room.

Holland was short and fat, with a friendly smile, his fingers crossed, and jewel rings on his thick fingers. He was filled with emotion when he saw the list of Warcraft materials given by the butler Derek.

"My Lord Baron has achieved such a great success in the face of the beast tide. I really admire you! To be honest, I have received instructions from the leader and will purchase this batch of monster materials at a price that will satisfy my Lord Baron. I hope that my Lord Baron can further cooperate with the Starlight Chamber of Commerce in the future!"

Although the status of merchants in the Central Courtyard Continent is low, the Merchants Guild is a force that cannot be ignored.

Their headquarters is located in the water city of Veneto. They hire extraordinary people and mercenaries with gold coins. They have branches all over the continent, but are often suppressed by the Vatican.

The Starlight Chamber of Commerce is one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Golden Lion Kingdom. It is mainly active in the northern province of the kingdom and competes fiercely with the White Whale Chamber of Commerce in the central plains.

There are no less than ten minor nobles like Baron Brown in the northern province. Holland never took them seriously in the past. After all, the title of baron can be bought with gold coins.

But now, the situation is quite different.

The Baron led the territory through the beast tide, which is enough to prove his ability and potential!

Holland originally thought that Lena Starlight had made a mistake by investing in such a remote place like Morning Frost Ridge.

Now, how else can he be the leader? The old man with the goat beard discussed the acquisition with Holland again, and secretly estimated that the price was indeed satisfactory.

When the transaction is completed, the Baron will be able to earn more than a thousand gold coins at a time, which is equivalent to the purchasing power of more than a hundred cows.

Even though Derek was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but be shocked by the number.

But there was no greed in his heart, only admiration for the lord. After all, without the leadership of the lord, it would be impossible to survive the beast tide!
Derek invited Holland to stay at the territory's inn, and then returned to the manor to report the transaction to Yeats.

"One thousand gold coins..."

Ye Zhi's eyes flickered, and he picked up the tea and took a sip to calm his inner excitement.

This amount of money is enough to buy a large three-masted ship. It is a huge sum of money for Morning Frost Ridge and is more than enough to invest in a brewery.

The shipbuilding technology of this era was still in the sailing age. Only powerful naval forces such as the Golden Lion Royal Navy and the Ice Sea Black Crow Flag Pirates were equipped with artillery. The combat methods of other navies were still mainly based on boarding tactics and ramming tactics.

Even for extraordinary people, the sea is ruthless and cruel. When a three-ring extraordinary person encounters a navy equipped with artillery in a naval battle, he will be defeated without making a single sound.

The fourth ring is different. After all, most of the fourth ring extraordinary people have mastered the ability to fly.

Yeats does not have the energy to form a navy for the time being, but he can seek help from outsiders.

“Not exactly an outsider.”

Yeats murmured to himself:

"My predecessor's elder brother served in the Royal Navy and seemed to be a major general. He might even become an admiral in the future..."

The elder brother of the previous life was named Wilson Brown, who inherited his father's title of earl and most of the fiefdoms.

He owns a good port in the central part of the Kingdom of Golden Lion and is also regarded as the most famous genius among the younger generation of the Kingdom of Golden Lion.

Compared with his dull younger brother, Wilson opened the Ring of Life when he was ten years old. Now at the age of twenty-three, he is already a three-ring strong man with a promising future.

In addition, Wilson was an excellent student at Tame River University. He joined the navy after graduation. Thanks to his father Brondy's old relationship with the king, as well as his own extraordinary talent, he was promoted particularly quickly.

This brother was quite friendly towards his predecessor. After all, Yeats's existence did not threaten his interests.

With the addition of family ties, Ye Zhi felt that he could still convince him to clear out the pirates around the waters of Whitefish Port.

Of course, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Asking him for help will inevitably cost a sum of gold coins. From a long-term perspective, this deal is actually worthwhile.

"We still have to wait until the spring to recapture Whitefish Port and establish a maritime trade route."

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "For now, we still have to be on guard against the movements of the Ancient White Dragon. After Candela kills Isidora, I will try to take Gray to the scene to absorb the dragon soul..."

As a dragon descendant, Grey's method of absorbing dragon soul is very special, requiring close contact with the dragon's corpse.

Once she was allowed to absorb even a small portion of the dragon soul of the ancient white dragon, Ye Zhi felt that she would be able to advance to the third ring.

"Although I am a little reluctant, given Hildreth's personality, I'm afraid she will still return to the North to fight for the throne..."

Ye Zhi thought to herself, "I still have to continue to train Gray. After all, she is also an important fighting force for me... and a legal advisor!"
