The Knight's Journey to the Empire

But Sauron changed his mind and felt that this was not impossible!

After all, he had just solemnly promised Lord Fatis that he would personally "capture" Doug Johnson to his residence and force him to become his disciple!

Therefore, Lord Fatis did this now. While he saw that Doug Johnson knew how to train soldiers, he also wanted to train him.

Moreover, Doug Johnson had consciously rejected Lord Fatis' request to become his disciple when Sauron was not around. This was enough to prove Doug Johnson's loyalty to Sauron!

Therefore, even if Soran "lent" Doug Johnson to the other party at this time, it did not mean that Lord Fatis could kidnap Doug Johnson.

In addition, Soran also has hopes for this largest and most powerful naval force in the [Angliss Islands].

But now, although Sauron can have a say in this naval force, he is mostly just providing reference opinions.

Because if you really want to talk about it, it’s not certain that he can play any decisive role in it.

So if we can take advantage of this opportunity, we can arrange Doug Johnson into this naval force.

Then Soran can more or less indirectly intervene in the decision-making and management of the navy through Doug Johnson.

After all, judging from Lord Fatis's tone just now, he is definitely going to make use of Doug Johnson.

Moreover, Lord Fatis has been leading troops for so long that it is impossible for him not to know the importance of military authority.

But now that the other party is doing this, it is equivalent to indirectly handing the power of the army to himself.

So this may also be a sign of wanting to make friends with me.

Thinking of this, Soran had the answer in his mind.

So he said directly with a smile on his face: "My Lord, considering the relationship between us, it is really a bit strange to say 'borrow'!"

"Don't worry! Since you need me, I will send Doug Johnson over to you as soon as I return to Magellan Island!"

"Hahahaha! Thank you very much, Viscount Sauron!" Lord Fatis laughed.

While laughing, Lord Fatis also stretched out his right hand.

Soran was also very tactful and stretched out his right hand, then shook hands tightly with Lord Fatis.

"You're welcome, my lord!"

……

Over there, Plant and Redsass looked at each other in tacit understanding upon seeing this.

And they both saw a hint of displeasure but helplessness in each other's eyes.

The reason for their displeasure is that Lord Fatis's "borrowing" of Doug Johnson is undoubtedly dispersing their authority and weakening their power.

After all, the navy is only so large, and there is only one position for each person, so if someone wants to squeeze in, it will inevitably involve the vested interests of others.

The reason for helplessness is that: Doug Johnson has Lord Fatis and Viscount Soren as his backers; but behind the two of them, there is no one protecting them.

So they have no other choice but to consider themselves unlucky!

……

If all the islands in the entire Antilles Archipelago were placed into a 3x3 grid.

Then the location of Viscount Soren’s fiefdom, Magellan Island, is at (3, 2).

Moreover, its relatively outward location can even be said to be the island farthest from the Knight Continent among the five large islands of the [Angliss Islands].

On October 4878, 10 in the Knight Continent calendar, after completing the other tasks at hand, Soran said goodbye to Countess Katis.

Then we packed up and started our journey back to Magellan Island.

The [Anglican Islands] are still in the initial development stage and a lot of work is needed. The public transportation system between the islands is not perfect.

This also leads to the fact that there is no direct ship transportation between Greater Antilles and Magellan Island.

So Soran had no choice but to find Magellan and ask him to send two ships from the [First Transport Fleet] to transport him back.

But after Magellan knew that Soran was going back to his territory, he even insisted on going back with him, and even said:

The name of "Magellan Island" was originally given by him to commemorate himself, so now that he has arrived in the "Angles Islands", he naturally wants to go and take a look.

But unfortunately, Soran saw through his little thoughts at a glance!

I guess it was because I lent the [monocular telescope] to Gregorian a few days ago when he was going on a mission that made Magellan jealous!

So what he is doing now is just to take this opportunity to get in touch with me more and get closer to me, so that when I have something good in the future, I can think of him as my "good brother" first.

Seeing this look on his face, Soran did not refuse Magellan's request to go with him.

Anyway, the main development and construction of the [Angliss Islands] is now concentrated in the [Setting Sail Island]. There is nothing important that requires the large-scale use of transport fleets, so Sauron just let him do it.

Besides, Magellan was idle on the [Sail Island] anyway, so taking him along could help to foster their relationship and help them get to know each other better.

So after reporting to Countess Curtis, Magellan followed Soron back to Magellan Island.

Not many people followed Soran back to his fiefdom this time. In addition to himself, there were Knight Alexovitch, Magellan, Thomas, and some sailors, so they only drove a medium-sized [Kappa] and a large transport ship.

As for the large transport ship, it was carrying some wealth and supplies that Countess Katis had bestowed on Soran.

……

Continue to put all the islands in the entire Antilles into a 3x3 grid:

Then the location of [Sailing Island] is (1, 2), which is located at the westernmost end of the [Angles Islands]; and the location of [Magellan Island] is (3, 2), which is located at the easternmost end of the [Angles Islands].

Therefore, if Soran wanted to sail from [Sailing Island] to [Magellan Island], he had to cross directly through the middle of [Anglican Islands].

Fortunately, after Wolfe became the political officer of [New Garnisee City], he sent an expedition team to examine a detailed map of [Anglican Islands], and in it he specifically recorded the routes from [Departure Island] to the other four large islands.

At the same time, there is Magellan, an excellent captain with skilled navigation skills, who once led a team to conduct a preliminary survey of the [Angles Islands]!

Otherwise, Soran would not dare to directly cross the [Angles Islands] and return to [Magellan Island].

Because the numerous small islands in the [Angles Islands] were scattered and densely distributed, they were enough to make him get lost in them, and he might even hit reefs or shoals, eventually causing the ship to be destroyed and people to die.

So it was not until this time that Soran realized that it was a very correct choice to take Magellan with him.

Because it only takes half a day to cross the [Angles Islands] and return to [Magellan Island].

If he took a detour, it would take at least until tomorrow for him to return to Magellan Island.

……

【Magellan Island】

[White Bear Town] is the only town on [Magellan Island] that is located on the seaside and has a seaside pier.

It is the gateway to Magellan Island. The residents of Magellan Island need to pass through it to go out to sea.

The name "White Bear Town" was also given by Adam to commemorate "White Bear Territory".

[White Bear Town] has a population of over a thousand people, accounting for one-fifth of the entire population of [Magellan Island]. It is the largest town on [Magellan Island].

Therefore, [White Bear Town] was jointly designated by Adam and Javier as the center of the entire [Magellan Island]. Even Viscount Soren’s new residence was built in [White Bear Town].

Although the scale of [White Bear Town] is far smaller than [New Ganise City] on [Sailing Island], it is still undergoing a vigorous construction campaign.

For example, the new wharf that is currently under construction...

When the seaside pier of White Bear Town was first built, it was simply constructed with wood for the sake of convenience, speed, time and labor saving.

But now the main buildings and residents' houses in the town have been completed, and the construction team has freed up their hands!

Therefore, the lord's mansion began to organize the people to collect stones to renovate the seaside pier, intending to build a sturdy and durable stone seaside pier.

[White Bear Town] Except for a few buildings that are built of stone, most of the other buildings in the entire town are made of wood.

Fortunately, Magellan Island has lush vegetation and forests, and people obtained a lot of timber resources during the land reclamation and construction.

These wood resources can be used as building materials or shipbuilding materials, as well as daily fuel.

Otherwise, the overall construction of [White Bear Town] may not be completed so quickly.

……

According to Adam's plan, the architectural layout of White Bear Town is roughly arranged in a concentric circle pattern.

First, in the center of White Bear Town is a large circular square with a radius of 150 meters.

Then, with this large circular square as the center, there are eight streets extending in eight directions: east, west, south, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest, thus forming eight fan-shaped distribution areas.

The circular square is also the center. For every 200 meters of radius from the circular square, there is a horizontal alley connecting two nearby streets.

To the northeast of this large circular square is the territorial government office of Magellan Island, and all the government orders of Magellan Island are issued from here.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. The two northeastern fan-shaped areas close to the territorial government office have become the gathering place for officials, gentry, and wealthy businessmen of [Magellan Island], and are known as the upper class area.

In the southern area of ​​the circular plaza, since it is close to the seaside wharf, it will be convenient for migrant workers to load and unload goods and travel in the future.

Adam set it as the main civilian residential area and settled most of the civilians in White Bear Town here, which was the lower class area.

Another thing worth mentioning is the main transportation route of [White Bear Territory].

The terrain of Magellan Island is high in the north and low in the south, so the two streets connecting the north and south connect the seaside pier and the hinterland of Magellan Island respectively.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that if [Magellan Island] develops in the future, this north-south street will definitely be the main transportation route of [White Bear Town], with busy freight transportation.

So when Adam designed the width of the road, he deliberately designed it to be a thoroughfare that could accommodate four carriages running parallel to each other; while the other streets and alleys connecting the streets were built according to the width of two carriages running parallel to each other.

……

October 4878, 10 in the Knight Continent calendar, [White Bear Town], Government Office.

Adam was sitting in his own office as the territory's political officer, furiously writing on various government documents.

Ever since he left the White Bear Territory with the last transport fleet and sailed all the way to Magellan Island, he threw himself directly into the construction of this new territory with great enthusiasm.

However, since [Magellan Island] is a new territory that needs to be developed, its various political affairs are complicated and numerous, which is a real headache.

This situation became even more serious after Adam sent Siok out to manage another small town, New Flanders.

After all, Adam's expertise lies in business, not government affairs and territory management.

But he couldn't do anything about it!

Because before leaving, his brother had repeatedly told him to manage Magellan Island well and build the new territory.

So faced with his brother's earnest advice, Adam, who believes that he is loyal and willing to go through fire and water for his brother, could he really let down his brother's trust?

You know, when Soran invited him to join the gang at the Sundiata Tavern in Connat City, he said:

As long as you have brothers, you have nothing to fear! Even if the sky falls, there are brothers to help hold it up!

I can still remember Adam clearly now!

Fortunately, the new territory has just started to be built and there is basically no business-related work to be dealt with.

So this actually reduced some of Adam's workload.

Moreover, since the White Bear Territory was officially established, Sauron was very far-sighted and attached great importance to the quality and ability training of other government officials in the Government Affairs Office.

Therefore, Magellan Island now has a relatively mature team of grassroots officials.

So with their help, Adam was able to manage the new territory in an orderly manner and handle all government affairs.

However, Adam looked at the three thick stacks of documents on his desk, each about thirty to forty centimeters high.

He suddenly felt that if Sauron came back from outside, he still needed to beat him up to vent his anger!

Maybe God saw Adam’s hard work!

So when he thought of this, there was a cheer from outside: "Lord Adam! Lord Adam! The Lord is back! The Lord is back!"
