Chapter 132

Taylor read the report he received from Billy as he looked at the documents and confirmed that this boy really was Henry kid, Lucius .

Taylor sighed and spoke, "If you could have bought this to me earlier . We would have gained quite an asset . Well, he has already left, I guess this is fate as well . You guys did a good job this time around . Make thorough checks like this on everyone, I don’t want a repeat of last humiliation when those guys brazenly tried to assassinate Lord . I heard that you guys were short on men, they will be arranged immediately in a week . You can go now, you guys will be rewarded appropriately for your hard work . "

Billy enthusiastically thanked him as he left, "Thank you, Milord . "

Billy murmured as he left for his office, "I guess I need to reward Sparrow this time around . "

John sighed and commented as he saw Taylor’s report, "Hmm . . . It seems this boy is staying at our institute . Well, if you can contact Henry then report him about the news . Well, he would most probably be on the move after her wife’s funeral So I think it will be hard to contact him . Well, Let it go as the flow wishes to . Don’t influence the kid as it would backfire us, as he is already being groomed by Josephine so no need to worry about his safety or development . Let him train with Jake, don’t let Jake know about this news of his identity or it will influence him as he has already decided to take all those brats in to train with them . "

Taylor nodded and noted, "Okay, Milord . Jake won’t get a hint about this as only four people know about this including you and me . "

Meanwhile, Taylor murmured, "I guess I need to provide Billy his men early on since they would need to keep their mouths shut . Why is there is such a shortage of learned men . "

The Pirate naval knight named Blake who was captured previously was with Eric Today at the eastern port right now . He was free without any shackles and waiting for people . He had a height of 5 feet 9 inches, he was a man with a tan and a big beard . Currently, he was wearing normal civilian clothes Today he was waiting for John as they had arranged a meeting today .

Eric smiled as told Blake, "You will be getting a surprise this time around . "

Blake mocked him "Hmph, is he catching me again with those weird weapons for raiding his Slave and soap ships?"

Eric looked as if he was disgusted with Blake and spoke in a frustrating manner, "Stop the bullshit, you have already joined Count John’s Navy, heck I wonder why you were even made the admiral when you nag so much . You are an admiral and still whining . "

Blake too angrily spoke, "You think I care about this position? I too was forced into it, I would rather raid ships in the sea with my men and my ships . Well, The thing is I too misjudged Count John previously based on the rumors, I guess I changed my opinion after hearing about the fate of Francis and looking at his city which didn’t feel like it had any slaves . Now I am convinced that he has a better plan to remove slavery at least . So I guess my goals match with this position and I made the deal . And there is one more thing, I can take my revenge by joining Lord John . "

Eric irritatingly spoke, "Then you should stop nagging when you are an admiral and know the truth about lord . "

Blake mocked Eric as he heard him, "Yeah an Admiral without a fleet and going to bars with his mates every day, right?"

Eric irritatingly explained to him for the nth time, "Well, it is to solve the problem of the fleet that Lord has decided to personally come here today and hence the meeting . "

John came from behind both of them with Ross as they were fighting on the street, "Both of you should stop fighting and get along . "

Both Eric and Blake roared at the same time towards John, "Who said we are fighting? He is the one who is fighting"

Both of them started again fighting as soon as they blamed each other .

John sighed and spoke seriously, "Ok, ok, lets get to serious talk for now . I am here to address the shortage of ships, arms and our future planning today . Marquis Ray’s ships will arrive today . There is a total of 12 ships, I hope this is enough for your men . I have also asked the shipyards to do remodifications on all the ships . You guys will be surprised after using it . So it will be better from now on . "

Blake mocked him as he heard Jonh, "I don’t want those second-hand cheap ships . I would rather prefer my old ships rather than using them . Hmph . . and what about remodifications? Do you think beautifying it would increase its efficiency? Just because you made those ballistae can’t mean you can even improve those ships after random modifications . I know that you are smart but these ships are under development of various lords and even the royal family for a lot of years and it is very hard to improve their efficiency . "

John smiled and spoke, "Well, your ships are a wreck . If you still want them, then you can go and take a dip in the eastern sea and look for sharks . "

Eric too added, "Hahaha, That’s true, your ships are a wreck, go and cry a river over it, This lord was one who did you over when you tried to raid us after that much planning . Hmph, I would have rather Jumped on the ships designed by Count John himself rather than nagging endlessly . You don’t even know how lucky you are, so stop your nagging . "

Blake hmphed and mocked him as he heard about his 2 ships that were wrecked, "Hah, That’s why you will always remain a Pleb . As for you downing my ships . you would have been toast if not of those ballistas . "

Eric laughed and spoke, "Then you should stop nagging as you will also get more ballistas fitted onto your ships and that too in far higher numbers . And this time you would have 12 ships under your command unlike the two old ships from the ancient past . "

Blake nodded and spoke, "Hmm . . . Well, those Ballistae are good and all, but my men will also be in danger from now on as I heard that Duke Fjord has declared a war against you guys . He has also increased the funding of his Navy And recently he is seen in a lot more social events as he is rallying lords to wage a war against us . So the thing is I will practically be short of men and ships, wars can’t be fought without men . Additionally, we don’t have a harbor so strategically they can choke us anytime they want .

Blake pointed out at this port as he continued, "Just look at this port, When will we occupy this port? I don’t feel safe for my men without a port city that connects to our domain or a base in the sea . What are those weapons for? For show? Can’t you use them to invade the northlands? There is a good place for harbor over there where only Wild Dangerous beasts roam and they can be solved with these new ballistas . "

Eric was quite surprised as he heard Blake, "You traveled to the northlands? As for the port city, I too understand your concerns . In emergencies, we would be cut off from our domain and that is also one of the reasons that baron is able to extort us . Well, Anyway, first tell me about North-lands . "

Blake gravely spoke about his experience, "Yeah, I traveled there once when I was escaping the naval fleet of Duke Fjord and the Royal Navy . I mean I traveled there once as I was a bit adventurous and jolly . However as soon as we reached there, it was quite dangerous with many unknown beasts, even I had a hard time defeating them while we were short of men . So I guess it is hard surviving there . "

Blake spoke gravely and continued, "We only survived thanks to an island which was near it and it was less dangerous . However it was quite dangerous at night so I guess it was a bit of both . But with these weapons, those beasts will be toast in front of us . We can use that island as a Loading base in case of emergencies . However, I will still need men to create a full fleet . So you must be ready with all the preparations . What do you say? If you can give me permission then we make a good enough plan, this plan could be quite good and useful for us in times of need . "
