Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Order all the ships and let them rest in place." The Celtic knight ordered to the knight.

"Yes, my lord." The knights responded immediately.

The distances between the three hundred ships varied, and the communication between the ships was mostly done by knights standing on the mast at the post, waving small flags in their hands to communicate.

"You guys, take a small boat and go secretly to the land to find out what's going on." The Celtic knight ordered to the other knights.

"Yes." The knights responded in unison, and then brought some supplies and weapons onto a small boat, separated from the fleet and took advantage of the foggy weather to head towards Haiyan City.

.crash...

The sun on the sea was extremely hot, and the knights on the boat were sweating profusely, and several of them took turns rowing alternately.

After more than ten hours passed, the boat was far away from the convoy.

Since they had been advancing for a long time and still hadn't seen any sign of the shore, the knights couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.

"Are we going in the right direction?" a knight asked.

"That's the right direction. I stayed in Haiyan City for a while." In addition

- a knight confirmed.

After advancing for more than half a day, the knights were all tired.

So a knight suggested, "Then let's take a rest and move on later."

"Okay, let's eat something first." The knights took out the food and fresh water they brought.

But at this moment they don't know that there are more than a dozen figures swimming under the sea. They are the navy of the Haiyan City Navy. They just completed their formation a few days ago and passed the devil training. There are only a thousand mermaid fighters left. Because it was approaching the arrival of the fleet of the Flanders Empire, Niu Da stepped up his patrols. In the past, he used to patrol around Haiyan City by boat. Now that there are navy troops, they are sent to swim to the sea half a day away from Haiyan City to investigate.

-The Celebrity Fish looked up at the ships on the sea and gestured, "Captain, what shall we do now?"

Another mermaid also gestured, "I heard them say the word Haiyan City."

After thinking for a while, Hughes responded with gestures, "Catch them all and bring them back for interrogation."

Hughes was the first mermaid to swim to Haiyan City before, and he naturally became the captain after the successful formation of the navy.

"Yes." The mermaid sailors nodded collectively, then took out their short knives and began to slowly approach the bottom of the ship.

This is exactly the way they trained before becoming an army, so they are very proficient, cleverly using fish schools, lighting, etc. to hide their figures.

The knights on the boat didn't know that the danger was approaching. Some were shaking their arms to relax, while others were eating dry food.

"Clatter. Clap..

After Hughes made a gesture on the bottom of the sea, a dozen mermaids jumped out of the sea with one charge, turned over in the air and landed on the boat, fully demonstrating the results of the special training.

"Catch it." Hughes shouted loudly, and then a dagger was placed on the neck of a nearby knight.

"who are you?"

"Mermaid?"

 …

The knights 103 looked at Hughes and the others in panic, all of them unimpeded and still holding dry food in their hands. Just when they were about to bend down to get their weapons, they shot crossbow arrows from the sea.

It was inserted into the necks of the four knights in an instant, and the blood slid down the crossbow and fell on their armors, and they fell down clutching their necks.

"Squat down and hold your head. Those who surrender will not be killed." Hughes stood on the board and shouted coldly. Originally, the few remaining knights wanted to resist, but they saw four of their teammates dying in an instant, another one was still being held hostage, and there were a dozen or so mermaids on the sea.

They completely gave up their resistance, and then squatted down silently holding their heads, and then Hughes sent someone to put away the weapons first, and tied them up. "You four pull the boat forward, and change people when you are tired." After Hughes tied the rope to the bow of the boat, he handed the other end of the rope to several mermaid sailors. "Yes." The four mermaids responded in unison, and then jumped into the water and began to swim forward vigorously.

The boat can't hold many people, some mermaids need to swim in the sea, and some are watching the knights on the boat.

The navy troops had been swimming towards Haiyan City with their small boats for most of the day, and the weather began to gradually darken.

The mermaid sailors in front of the tugboat have changed several times. Although the mermaids are physically stronger than ordinary people, it is still very tiring to pull a boat and swim for a long time with people on it.

"Captain, it has been reported to the Lord City Lord." A mermaid raised his head out of the water and said.

After capturing these knights, Hughes sent someone to report to Niu Da first.

"How?" Hughes asked.

"Bring it directly to the City Lord's Mansion, and your lord will interrogate it in person." Mermaid News reported. "Understood." Hughes nodded, and then let the mermaid pulling in front speed up.

More than an hour later, Hughes and others leaned against the port, then rolled up their tails to expose their legs, and escorted the knights to the city lord's mansion.

"Tap Tat Tat...

Ten minutes later, Hughes and others escorted several knights to the gate of the castle, and directly entered the castle after passing the report.

At the moment in the castellan's mansion, Niu Da is sitting on the castellan's chair dealing with official duties.

"My lord." Hughes said respectfully, and several knights were escorted to the middle of the hall and knelt down.

"Um."

Niu Da put down the documents in his hand, looked up at the kneeling knights, and said coldly, "Who sent you here?"

When the mermaid navy first came to report, he gave the general situation. Moreover, the knights had already been interrogated in advance on the ship, and now that they were being questioned like this, they did not hide anything.

"Her Royal Highness Princess of the Flanders Empire." The knight said tremblingly. "You guys are a few days faster than expected." Niu Da said in a deep voice, and then fell into thinking.

Seeing Niu Da's gloomy face, the knights trembled with fear, their hearts became heavier, and they saw many knights in exquisite equipment on the way here.

"Where is your current fleet staying?" Niu Da asked with a frown.

"It's about a day away from here." The knight said with a pale face. "How many people are there in total? How many ships?" Niu Da asked solemnly, intending to ask for more information, and then send it back to Chang'an City by telegraph.

"A total of 20,000 knights and 300 ships." The knights did not dare to hide.

The interrogation on the small boat had frightened them out of their wits.

Niu Da paused when he heard the number, and then asked, "Where's the equipment?"

"They were all fully armored, with knightly swords, shields, spears, etc."

Cavaliers know everything.

"Where are you going to land from?" Niu Da asked the most concerned question.
