"Where did you get the heavy sword?"

Link looked at the giant sword with both hands in Morena's hand, raised it over her head, and slashed it down. The iron-wood dummy in front of her immediately turned into a scattered wooden block.

"It was what I asked for, the heavy sword without a sharp edge, I am used to morning exercises every day."

After saying that, Morena continued to work hard on the remaining dummies. The dummies came from the military warehouse on Miluo Island, which was specially used to train the Knights' reserves to sprint with their lances.

More than a dozen ironwood dummies were scattered in front of Morena. Ordinary people use giant swords, and even if they smash one, they will have to spend half their energy.

Link felt unhappy when she was disturbed by Morina's morning exercises and glanced at Morina, where she was still sweating and slashing.

‘Sure enough, the guys in the Knights are all such boring persistent madness.’

He looked at the team of Vigian Royal Guards standing in front of the courtyard and signaled them to look forward to Morina.

Then leave here and walk towards the office area outside the manor.

When I came to Carl's office, I found that he was working on his desk.

"How is the end of the battlefield?"

Link asked Carl, who was busy, although Link left the battlefield early yesterday and went to rest until he was sure there was nothing big.

But the others on Miluo Island didn't have time to be idle, and they worked all night before they could get the follow-up work done.

Although the Duke's invasion had many negative effects on Miluo Island, the people of Huishan Island complained that in order to deal with the war, Miluo Island imported a large number of iron ingot materials on the market at a high premium, and inevitable personnel sacrifice.

But compared with the defeated Duke's Legion, Miluo Island has gained much more.

"Sir, we have seized seventy-two Nord Naval warships, all of which are main warships above four masts, including a five-mast flagship of the "General Morribis". Nord Southern Navy is now considered to be a trauma."

Carl couldn't help but feel excited and said to Link in his throat.

"So we will become a major sea in the golden sea at once?"

Link also seemed very happy. He originally thought that there would inevitably be losses in the naval battle, but if he could grab more than ten four-masted warships, he would be very satisfied. Unexpectedly, the record was unexpectedly good.

"Yes, in this sea area, besides the Imperial Navy, only Victor Marre, the pirate king, can compete with us in terms of the number of warships."

"Hmph, this guy Victor is not qualified."

Link remembered the plundering operation on Whale Bone Island not long ago. The so-called pirate kings left behind the island were defeated by the attack of the elite troops of Miluo Island led by him.

Maybe these Southern Pirates' warships had something to do, but when it comes to their warriors, even Captain Parker was dismissed.

Now Link is no longer the unknown small force that was trembling on Skull Island and walking on thin ice.

If he is willing, with Miluo Island's current strength, he can completely replace Victor Marre's position in the Golden Sea.

"In addition to warships, there are also a batch of material transport ships and troop transport ships. The specific materials inside are still under statistics. Now the personnel of the dock and Miluo Island Navy are busy dealing with the captives of the Nord Navy fleet, and there are not enough personnel available for the time being."

“How many prisoners are there?”

"Roughly estimated, there are more than 5,000 ordinary crew members and sailors, and there are more than 200 senior crew members who are capable of paying ransoms."

"so much?"

Link was shocked by the number of captives from these naval forces. You should know that they had been busy on the shore for a long time, but they had only forced less than 3,000 people to land.

"A large number of Clippers fleets led by Tommy and Downey slaughtered when they attacked the Nord warship, otherwise at least two or three thousand more people would be added.

Among these prisoners, less than one-third of the real combatants were mostly Naval Navy navigator technicians."

Individuals such as sailors were not included in the list of combatants by Carl because Tommy told him that only those who could withstand at least two axes were qualified to be called combatants.

Unfortunately, the sailors on the Nord warship may have rich experience in boat handling, but they picked up spears and tools and axes, and even the axes of Tommy's men could not resist.

Link has heard this saying, "Ten years of army, and a hundred years of navy."

Compared to the easy and quick-training army, which is also simple to train, it is much more difficult and complex to train a qualified naval technician who is loyal to the Nord Kingdom.

Little do you know that the Nord Kingdom Naval Academy has only a few hundred qualified graduates every year, and these are still young recruits who have not passed the test of war.

Even the empire with the strongest naval strength can only choose to recruit unreliable pirate forces when rapidly expanding its naval strength. It is conceivable how important these naval technicians are to the fleet.

"Nord Navy is going to hate us to the core."

The Nord Southern Fleet will find it difficult to recover within two or three years to lose such a large number of personnel and warships. In Carl's mind, Miluo Island is probably going to provoke another enemy.

However, he was not too worried. He would not be afraid of itchy if there were too many lice. The enemies of the Nord Kingdom, the Duke, the Valkyrie Knights, and the Nord Navy and the Knights of the Sea and Land, were all alive.

"That's not necessarily true, don't forget that the Nord Navy was defeated by the Ashley Fleet."

Link looked unhappy, not knowing that he had already planned and guessed that something was going on, or wasn't worried about the threat from Nord Navy at all.

Carl then remembered that Link had said that the content of the deal with Ashley was to give her the reputation of defeating Nord Navy.

I couldn't help but be shocked: Could it be that Lord Link is not as reckless as he looks? He had already taken all these consequences into consideration? In this wave, Lord Link was on the third floor. Ashley was still complacent and became famous in the Imperial Admiralty, but she didn't know that she had already taken the blame for Link.

The warships were not marked, but the high-end main warships produced by the empire were recognized by the Nord Navy officers during close-up naval warfare.

As for the group of pirate axe throwers who were fearless and cunning like wolves, the Nord Navy officers even decided that they were imperial forces.

Who said that the Empire is now full of the world's pirate forces joining the Imperial Navy?

Now even if Ashley wants to explain, no one will believe it.

"Sir, your skill is really brilliant!"

Carl half flattered and half heartily complimented Link.

Link accepted his compliment disrespectfully and then asked a question he was more concerned about.

“How much ransom can these Nord Navy officers exchange for?

Also, is Nord's Navy Department broken with such a large number of maritime technicians? Just ignore it?"

All of these thousands of people were captured and turned into thousands of mouths for eating.

Miluo Island, which has 500-odd-foot-totem warriors, can't afford such a large number of extra people in a short period of time.
