Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Felton, let the navy continue to patrol their tracks, and remember not to expose them. The chief commanded.

"Understood." Felton said respectfully.

More than ten hours later, Niu Da sometimes stood on the ship deck overlooking the direction of the estuary, patrolling the ship at all times to prevent fires and other problems.

And the soldiers are always on guard. Although they have won one game, they are not proud at all.

It was already past six o'clock in the evening, and the weather had gradually darkened. Niu Da ordered the soldiers not to light the fire, so as not to be exposed.

At this moment, some faint flames lit up at the mouth of the sea, and the fleet of the Grand Duke Bill was sailing in.

flutter...

On the surface of the water not far from the fleet, there were circles of ripples. The patrolling mermaid sailors discovered the situation and immediately went back to report.

- An hour later, a mermaid sailor poked his head out of the sea and reported loudly, "My lord, the enemy ship has entered the Youshui River and will arrive soon." Niu Da raised the Tang knife in his hand and shouted Said, "All are there, all ready to meet the enemy."

"Yes!" shouted the soldiers in unison, their morale now high after a battle had been won.

After hearing the order, the mermaid sailors all dived into the bottom of the water, all armed with spears, and they will also participate in the battle this time.

According to Liu Feng's words, only soldiers who have seen blood can be considered real soldiers, and now is just the time for them to experience it.

"Wow...

Thirty minutes later, the 120 ships of the Flanders Empire had all sailed into the Youshui River.

"My lord, Youshui River is really not fortified." A nobleman said in surprise.

"Don't be careless, this is someone else's territory." Duke Bill was not dazzled by the short success in front of him, and remained vigilant.

Twenty minutes later.

As the ships of the Flanders Empire continued to sail, they were only more than two hundred meters away from Niu Da's fleet.

With the sudden lighting of the torches, the knights of Flandre saw the sudden appearance of the ship and the fluttering iron-blooded black dragon flag.

The knights exclaimed loudly, "There is an ambush."

"Ambush?" Duke Bill had a bad feeling in his heart.

"My lord, what should we do now?" A nobleman asked worriedly, seeing the black shadow of the big ship ahead.

"My lord, are we going to retreat?" Another nobleman asked quickly.

"Talk to them." Duke Bill said in a deep voice, thinking of the Firebolt reported by the Knight Commander, whether to shoot or not, after all, they are here to ask for money.

"Negotiation?" The nobles were puzzled.

"We can buy their grain and ask them to provide us with a place to rest. We are here with good intentions and to make friends." Duke Bill narrowed his eyes and said.

You have to find out the good news first, and then decide whether to do it.

"Yes, appease them first." The nobles laughed, and it would be best if they could succeed.

"Order the ships to come closer, but not too close," Duke Bill ordered.

"Yes." The knight responded immediately.

Ten minutes later, Duke Bill's boat sailed two hundred meters away from the big boat.

When Duke Bill saw the 100-meter-long and weird boat, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and shouted, "I am Duke Bill of the Flanders Empire. The purpose of our visit this time is to talk to you To be friends is to buy goods."

The current situation did not allow him to speak slowly.

Immediately someone asked Niu Da: "My lord, are they negotiating?"

"Whether it's a real negotiation or a fake negotiation, it's just a matter of delaying time. If it's really just to buy our goods, why send more than 20,000 knights?" Niu Da said in a deep voice.

Regarding 2.1 Duke Bill's words, he didn't believe a single word. Niu Da waved his hand and signaled the mermaid navy at the bottom to start fighting. He didn't want to talk nonsense with these people.

Seeing that the enemy had no intention of answering, Duke Bill hurriedly paced back and forth on the deck of the ship.

"My lord, the other party seems unwilling to talk to us." A nobleman said in shock.

"Order, let all the knights get ready, since they have come here, there is no reason to go back." Duke Bill ordered.

They can't return now, and the food is almost exhausted.

"Second update, Cv). It's a bit stuck, let the author sort out his thoughts.".

= bang bang....

As soon as the knights of the Flanders Empire got ready, their ship made a noise, and the hull shook several times.

"Big, my lord, we have more than a dozen boats leaking at the bottom." A knight reported in a panic.

"What? There is a water leak at the bottom of the boat? Hurry up and stop it." Duke Bill scolded angrily with a black face.

After Hughes ordered his men to do something, he swam to Niu Da's boat and poked his head out to report, "My lord, someone has sent someone to penetrate their boat.

Niu Da nodded lightly, and then ordered to the soldiers behind him, "Load the crossbow arrows, start approaching the enemy ship, aim at the enemy ship and launch."

"Yes." The soldiers responded in unison, and then they all started to run. Some operated the crossbow, some carried the crossbow, and some loaded it, all in one go.

"Launch." Niu Da ordered at the top of his voice.

"Yes." The soldiers responded respectfully, and the fleet approached the fleet of the Flanders Empire.

 …

"Whoosh...

All the crossbow rockets shot at the ships of the Flanders Empire. At this moment, most of their ships were pierced by the mermaid navy.

He was trying to save the bottom of the wrecked ship, but in the next second Niu Da's attack came one after another, and all the knights and nobles on the ship were in a mess.

"My lord, this is the crossbow bolt that catches fire." The knight commander hoarsely sounded, feeling terrified at the moment.

"Screw, throw it out." Duke Bill shouted with a pale face, and now he was scared out of his wits, as a crossbow arrow shot beside him just now.

"Wow...

Duke Bill's fleet all turned around and began to scatter outwards. Out of the 120 ships, only seventy or so ships remained. Most of them were either burned or penetrated by the mermaid.

"My lord, they are starting to retreat." A soldier reported.
