Chapter 50 Lord of Rome Island

"Leon Barton, General Boken's main force is still stuck in the Adams area. They fought hard for months to take the Domon Mountains from veteran Griffitz. Although they surrounded Nocan, the gateway of Adams, the progress was too slow."

"Your Majesty." Leon Barton got up and said, "Since Adams' main force was completely annihilated in the wild, they have huddled in the mountains and walls to resist stubbornly. It's not so much to use the right tactics as to scare the dog. But I have to admit that they did seize the weakness of our army. In order to cope with the variables that may appear in the Elf Forest, we have to maintain 700,000 troops on the western front and disperse our 1 million troops in various provinces to prevent orc invasion. We have stationed 500,000 people in Luopu. On the eastern front, we have been tense with the Eternal Night Empire, and there have been no less than 1 million on the defense line. The army, which still holds 200,000 strategic reserves in our hands, is ready to rush to the direction of the war at any time, but there are almost no troops to adjust. Your Majesty, I beg you to increase the strength of the Adams crusade in order to end the Adams Rebellion as soon as possible.

"We don't have more troops to support Baoken." The Pope thought for a moment and said.

"Since the Elf Forest has now promised us to remain neutral, I want to draw 200,000 troops from the border of the Elf Forest to support Adams." Leon Barton said, "The credit of the Elf Forest is much better than ours, which can support at least 200,000 troops."

"Then it's up to you to prepare." The Pope said feebly, "Don't let my compromise with the Elf Forest go to waste. As for that damn Rome, the empire will settle accounts with him later."

"Your Majesty is wise." Four bishops said together.

"Rodarram, draft the document, follow the requirements of the Elf Forest, recognize Rome's equal status, give Rome Island the privileges, and let the elves see our sincerity, hum." The Pope said with a sinister smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Rodaram got up.

"Let's break up. I'm tired." The Pope collapsed in his chair and closed his eyes.

On the other side, in the room of the elf mission, Harmon gently stroked the scroll with the queen's order and muttered in a low voice: "Rudolph, the interested person, the elf forest has done everything for you. As a nail buried in the human world, please also play your role."

Obviously, the negotiations have been concluded, and both sides have obtained the desired results. Rodaram even asked Harmon about the specific situation of Romai Island, the appearance of the island owner, the characteristics and signs of Romai Island merchant ships and so on a series of details. The next day, without a long delay, with the departure of the elf mission, dozens of fast horses rushed out of the four gates of the holy capital. The messenger ran to all directions with the order issued by the Pope himself. They had to convey the order to every province as quickly as possible. Archbishop Rodaram personally told him that this order was important. Sex is equivalent to a war mobilization order.

Soon, an order to confuse tens of thousands of people appeared in various provinces in the south.

"The 27th Pope of the Holy Empire declared that he recognized the independence of Rome Island and that Rudolf Arcado, the actual controller of Rome Island, is the only legal owner of Rome Island. All actions in the Holy Empire will be protected by the empire, and those who violate the laws of the empire must also be sent to the Holy Capital of the Empire for trial. Institutions and individuals are not allowed to harass them. Those who violate it are indignant and will be executed as soon as they are verified. Many adjectives and pictures of the Rohmer merchant ship are attached to the order.

"Oh, my God, Rome Island, there are few people on that island." An old sailor smiled and said, "There is nothing but bird droppings."

"What does our Pope think? What's the difference between independence and non-independence of the island? Another sailor laughed and said, "At least 10 years can we go there once in the wind. The last time I went there was 15 years ago.

"I would like to see what kind of person the island owner of Rome Island is and let the Pope issue such an order."

"I heard that the island owner sold his soul to the devil, so that he had infinite power to occupy Romem Island. He can call for wind and rain."

"Oh, my God, that's the ghost ship! It's the missing black ghost ship!"

"Oh, my God, it's really a ghost ship. It turns out that the ghost ship is from Rome Island."

"There must be a devil on that island, otherwise how could there be such an evil ship?"

"Does it really burn the souls of living people to move forward?" People gathered around the notice talkatively that these days, except for the Adams rebellion in the north, there are not many things worth gossiping about.

At this moment, on Rome Island, black pearls full of 500,000 gold coins and a large amount of jewelry slowly entered the port.

With the cheers of the islanders, Arcado and Meadow hugged each other again.

The Black Pearl set out from the Elf Forest, rushed to the nearest human province of Mellock, landed in Port Dante, the largest port in Mellock Province, bought a large number of human slaves, and then returned to Rome.

The slaves brought back last time have begun to build houses in the middle of the three villages. The speed of mining stone is very slow, and the number of people is not large. More than 100 people are building slowly. This time, the construction team of 200 slaves has been replenished at one time, and the speed has obviously accelerated.

The great owner of Rome Island promised all slaves that after three years of work, they can restore their civilian status and become legal residents of Rome Island. Now as slaves, they have an ultra-high salary of 10 silver coins every month. Such a preferential treatment is what these people dare not think of after becoming slaves. . What's more shocking is that the owner of Rome Island promised to buy more female slaves to come back to work. He does not oppose the marriage between slaves. Under the premise of no threat and coercion, as long as female slaves are willing, they can legally marry male slaves as wives, and their offspring will directly become Rome Island civilians and no longer directly become For slaves.

These regulations made the slaves cry with gratitude, at least on the surface, who were willing to work hard for Arcado.

The women in the villagers and the female slaves bought were arranged by Arcado and Meadow to reclaim the wasteland and began to cultivate the seeds of the crops bought by Arcado. The old people are responsible for drying dried fish and other local products in villages and beaches, and taking care of children.

The residents of the original island either participated in the work to build Arcado's base camp, or went to the blacksmith's shop in Quint to learn craftsmanship, and the people who originally went to sea to fish have joined the training of sailors. Morgan (the first mate on the Black Pearl, haven't you forgotten this character?) Responsible for training these sailors to become qualified sailors of crystal power ships.

Aiwen, a sea mapr, was appointed as the dock supervisor. He will lead some slave workers and village workers to build a larger new dock next to the existing dock, plus the original Rome Island Pier Village, to form a new port

After discussion, it was decided that Gavin and Old Tom would be responsible for the elves trade of the Black Pearl in the following time. Evan is responsible for the construction of the dock, Meadow is responsible for agriculture and civil affairs on the island, Morgan is responsible for training sailors, Quint is responsible for the blacksmith's shop, Hubert is responsible for the construction of docks and new boats, McVlon is responsible for selecting 70 strong people from slaves and villagers, including the original elf team on the island, and 100 people are made up to form Rome's military. Strength, unified command and training by McVlon. Acardo is responsible for developing magic arrays and supervising the progress of everything.

Arcado doesn't know yet that he is now the owner of Rome Island, which is known to everyone in the southern coastal provinces.
