My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 333 Fortress at Sea

“Father, if I take this island as my own, will there be any trouble?”

There is a bottom line, but to be on the safe side, Gervais still has to ask Gandalf, after all, the old nobles like Gandalf know the truth best.

“As long as you don’t hype it up, there’s nothing wrong with these islands off the coast of the dukedom, although they still belong to the king in name, but the king doesn’t like such islands.”

Without thinking, Gandalf quickly gave Gervais an answer, but then Gandalf asked again curiously.

“Little Gervais, do you want to develop this island? It’s not worth it. There is still so much land in your territory that has not been developed. Why do you want this island!”

Gandalf looked up Glancing all around, this pirate is not a small area, nor is it a desert island, with lush and green forests, but the only way to travel to and from the land is by sea ships, which is very inconvenient. After all, there are very few sea ships in this world.

With this skill, it is better to organize serfs to open up wasteland to dig canals in the territory, and to open up a few more acres of land.

“Haha, father, I just said that, I don’t know if there is fresh water on this island! I just want to build a manor here, and come here to play when I have time!”

What Gandalf said also makes sense. This world is not short of land, but only of population. The land utilization rate in the Gervais territory is still less than 10%. Efforts to develop this island are completely useless.

But Gandalf doesn’t know about Gervais, and the main reason Gervais wants to develop the island is because he has too many secrets.

Gervais wants to transfer all things that are invisible to people, or things that need to be kept secret, such as making wine, boiling salt, and those miners who came from Lanney’s territory, etc.

If the island hadn’t been discovered late, Gervais would have planted vines out of space on it.

Another point is that the Gervais territory is invaded by orcs every year. If he builds this island, will he be able to develop his life on the island in the future, so that even if the orcs attack, his territory will not be traded? completely stagnant.

“So that’s the case, then there’s no problem! Little Gervais, but you’re still young, you can’t just enjoy the big construction! You must know how to accumulate wealth!”

Gervais’ this The explanation sounds reasonable to Gandalf, nobles really like to build manors, and this island has a beautiful environment and is really a good place to relax.

“father, don’t worry! I know!”

Gervais almost vomited blood, he seemed like a lavish nobleman, but his excuse was to build a manor, too. Just be kind to make a guarantee.

The lords of this world have full autonomy over their territories, so even the smallest Baron is a local tyrant. With such rights, it is inevitable that some lords will swell and enjoy themselves.

It was understandable for aristocrats to enjoy themselves, but enjoying extravagance and building gorgeous manors all require huge amounts of money to support.

That can only exploit the serfs. The serfs are already poor, and they will continue to be exploited. Even the docile serfs will resist after there is no way to survive. There will be no good fruit to eat, and you will also suffer punishment from Fengjun, just the severity of the punishment.

“father, let’s go back first!”

Gervais originally wanted to explore the whole island, but unfortunately it was getting late, and if he didn’t go back, he would probably have to sail at night , This world has no searchlights, and it is very dangerous to sail at night.

Anyway, the island has been occupied at the moment, and Gervais is unhurried for a while. It is also possible to explore the island after the revenge plan is completed.

……

Next, Gervais ordered someone to escort the pirates on the beach back to the ship, and even Gervais did not spare the beer and other supplies left by the pirates on the beach. He doesn’t drink this beer himself, but he can give it to his subordinates to drink.

It took nearly half an hour for Gervais to lead a full 15 ships moved towards Stormwind.

Standing on the bow, Gervais moved towards the island reluctantly. Although the island is not large, it can be used as his secret base. If possible, Gervais would like to build him into a sea fortress.

“My lord, this island is yours now, and you should give it a name!”

Gervais finds that Lille is a pirate, and the pirate Small Captain really has When the potential of the henchman saw that Gervais had an idea for that island, Lille immediately raised a word of caution to Gervais.

“No, I’m not going to name it right now, I’ll name it after I really explore it! After all, as a noble noble, you have to be ceremony when you do things!”

Gervais withdrew his gaze, looked towards Lille, and shook his head loudly at Lille.

In Lille’s awe-inspiring eyes, Gervais walked into the captain’s cabin, and now that everything is settled, he can rest for a while.

Actually, Lear doesn’t know, Gervais also really wants to name the island now, but the name is Gervais’ weakness. Even Alice asked Gervais, also a nobleman, why he was so good.

…

Because it was traveling in a straight line, it took less than an hour for the sea boats to see Gervais and the others once again seeing the sandy beaches of Stormland.

The sea-going boat anchored directly more than a hundred meters off the beach, and Gervais and the others were the first to land in small boats.

But what happened next gave Gervais some headaches. Originally, not only did he capture 10 ships this time, but he also discovered an island. Gervais should be considered a plentiful harvest, and he was very happy.

But when the serfs from the ships came to the shore, Gervais had a headache.

These serfs are all young women, more than 150 in number. These women know that they have left the pirate’s den, and they all start to cry.

Even the persuasion of the guards didn’t help. It was obviously frightened to the extreme. A hundred people cried together. This was the first time Gervais had seen such a spectacle.

“Father, these women, I let their families take them back, will their lords pay me for this?”

Gervais rubbed his head and looked towards Gandalf .

“Little Gervais, your idea is about to fail! Their family members are probably all dead!”

Gandalf said to Gervais with some reluctance.

“I heard from Quaker Baron that when the pirates raided the village, they basically killed the whole village, men, women and children, so no one would come to claim them.”

“As for their lords, if they are young and middle-aged, they will pay you to redeem them, but you are all women, so there is no hope!”

Gandalf’s meaning is very clear, Gervais is now There are two options, either sell the women to slave dealers or arrange for them yourself.

And most nobles will choose the first option when they encounter such a thing, and sell it to the slave in exchange for a reward, so Gandalf said that Gervais earned it on the island.

In this world, it is not ashamed to sell captives to slave dealers, just like selling captured serfs and soldiers to slave dealers from enemy countries, although these women came back from pirates, but It’s almost the same.

Hearing Gandalf’s words, Gervais did not answer Gandalf immediately, but set his eyes on Lille, who had been cautiously a few meters away.

“Sir, that was all done by the third leader of Joad, and none of us participated! You can ask others, we have been on the boat this whole trip, even if I No one is willing to take us if we want to participate!”

Without Gervais saying a word, Lille knew what was going on with Gervais’ eyes, and immediately fell to his knees shiver coldly in fright.

What he said was indeed the truth. To be able to go ashore and loot the village would be a fat messenger. It was simply not their turn. When they were on the boat, they were envious for several days.

Hearing Lear’s words, the fierce light in Gervais’ eyes subsided.

Although he is not the ‘world police’ of this world, if Lille and the others really participated in the massacre of women, children and children, then he would never use these people, at least The kind that treats these people as coolies, the kind that is more tragic than slaves.

“Then take them back and put them there first, and I’ll figure out a way! I’ll make arrangements after this incident is over!”

Sell these women to slave dealers , Gervais can’t do it, after all, he is not short of so much money now, and these women are all pitiful persons whose family members were killed by pirates. If you do this, how is it different from pirates.

Just as it was about to get dark, all the supplies and personnel had been unloaded, and Gervais led the crowd slowly moving towards the castle.

Gervais did not keep anyone on each ship, but left 10 people on the shore and let them be on duty.

Wright and the others came to Stormland on purpose this time, otherwise the coast of Gervais would have no boats passing by all year round, so they wouldn’t be afraid of being stolen!
