Gao Sai, the royal capital.

In a certain palatial palace with a vast area, the tall guards who had just received the news from the military port walked quickly towards the depths of the palace.

Click, click!

The friction of the metal boots against the marble floor creates a very rhythmic sound.

It spreads back and forth in the empty corridors.

One by one, the figures standing in the shadows discerned the people who came in the darkness, and then, in a flash, disappeared.

At the end of the corridor, there is no door to block it, and you can clearly see the inside of the qiē -

A huge map hangs on the wall of the room.

It is painted with Emerald, Gosai and Siti, as well as the Free Federation.

Next to the map, there is a sand table, as if the map on the side is completely imprinted on it, and the cities, mountains, and rivers are so complete and detailed.

In the middle of the map and the sand table, there is a man in the prime of life.

A black and red silk robe, well-cut with straight eyebrows in a bun, piercing eyes, a straight nose bridge with a slight hook at the tip of the nose.

It made this handsome face feel a little more ruthless.

The long black and red hair was draped down and merged with the silk robe, and the whole person stood there like a dark flame.

"Your Highness, news has come from the military port: the patriarch of the Zelgang family has entered our seas, and he is hoisting the banner of the Emerald Grand Duke, but the Emerald Grand Duke has not arrived!"

The tall guard said a word of truth.

"Zelgaon...... A subordinate of His Highness Nick? ”

The man said slowly, and then, with a wave of his hand, said, "Give it to Fedok!" Let him receive the Patriarch of Zelgan in my place. After all. He was not only my advisor. He is also related to this Lord Zelgaon! ”

Obviously, just being a subordinate of the Jade Grand Duke couldn't really get his attention.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The tall guard bowed and left the main hall.

And the man once again set his eyes on the complete and delicate sand table.

His gaze swept to the north of the jade.

Vauban City appeared impressively as far as his eyes could see.

His fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the sand table.

"Something went wrong...... Whether it's the people I sent out or the ...... left there? It seems that something is wrong? ”

The man muttered to himself.

Ding, ding......

The man gently pulled the rope next to the sand table, and immediately a bell rang. Then, a dark shadow appeared silently in front of the man.

"Haven't you heard from Mormont and Udel yet?"

The man asked.

"No, Your Highness - I think they're too bad for a few!"

It was an elderly man with a hoarse voice, and his whole body was covered by black clothing, revealing only a simple face.

"I have to get something there - my brother's health is deteriorating, but he loves my brother Add...... I'm running out of time! ”

The man said slowly, in an unmistakable tone.

Eddie. Byron. Gao Sai, the brother of King Gao Sai, one of the two princes.

And the man in front of him calls Eddie his younger brother. Needless to say, he is another prince of Gausai: Findel. Byron. High Race.

"Your Highness. Do you want to go in person? The one you invited Jade to pay a logical return visit? The old man guessed Findel's plan, but he frowned, he disagreed: "Your Highness, this is very risky-Your Highness Eddie, he is not without ambition for the throne, not to mention, Her Highness Vivien, she has been eyeing her!" If you leave......"

"If I stay, the situation will not change, but if I leave, with my departure, my enemies will definitely make a move, and then we can easily wipe them out - and if I find the Ancestral Sword, every difficulty will be solved!"

Findel said confidently.

The old man frowned again, but in the end, he did not persuade again.

Findel, on the other hand, turned his eyes to the sand table again, and began to patrol back and forth in the three places of Gosai, Emerald, and Sciti.

It's like looking at your own territory.

……

That Gausai First Fleet, Third Fleet, young Captain Andro did not leave Dean's flagship.

He chatted with Tom and Nord with a sense of scrutiny, but also with good manners.

Elder Ronk stood in a shift, quietly listening to the conversation between the two sides.

As the elder of the Zelgang family, the old man Ronk knew very well what they would face next, so he was always vigilant.

Dean, on the other hand, had left the deck a moment earlier and returned to his captain's quarters.

What might happen next, Dean is naturally clear.

However, because of this, Dean knew better that he should be mentally recuperating.

Leaning quietly on his bed, Dean, who woke up from his sleep, couldn't help but chuckle as he listened to the conversation on the deck, which was still continuing.

"It's a lot slower than I thought - it looks like Findel isn't paying attention to me!"

Dean knew Findel all too well.

Cold, hypocritical, and ruthless.

It's a person who smiles in front of you, and then, as soon as he turns around, stabs him.

However, there is one thing that Findel is quite admirable to Dean.

That is, there will be no procrastination in doing things - after determining one thing, the opponent will burst out with unprecedented execution and give the enemy a lightning attack.

Therefore, Dean can be sure that his 'humble status' has not attracted the attention of the other party.

Instead, it was handed over to someone else!

As for who?

Dean, who has the surname 'Zelgaon', certainly doesn't have to wonder which side it is.

After all, in the High Sai, the Frost Nobles are also famous. Far more than one in the jadeite.

"Invite Your Highness to participate in the founding celebration of the high competition. It's nothing more than to take advantage of the momentum to go to the Emerald - and in the Emerald. What can attract Findel is none other than the cemetery left by the conquering king! ”

Dean pondered the thoughts of his old rival.

Then, he laughed softly.

When he left Vaubana, he had completely covered up the graveyard of the conquering king, and even the wolves had been properly arranged elsewhere.

Moreover, more than one layer of traps has been set up there.

Those who step into it, if they don't know what to do. There is absolutely no place to die.

Therefore, Dean is not afraid of the other side sending more men.

Unless it is a gold-level powerhouse, otherwise, he can guarantee that those people will not return.

It's just that gold-level powerhouses are obviously unable to act at will, especially the golden powerhouses of one country, who enter another country, will definitely be closely monitored and even blocked.

So. Dean was sure Findel would not be able to send his best men.

And under this premise, the other party can only do it in other ways. It was only natural to let the gold-level powerhouse go to the north of the jade - and his envoy to the jade was naturally a pretty good excuse.

It's just that Findel would never have imagined that Dean was already ahead of the curve.

"Findel, what you have lost is not only the opportunity, but the qiē that you have been thinking about for a long time!"

Dean muttered to himself, then slowly stood up and walked out of the cabin - inside the cabin, but outside the conversation Dean could hear clearly.

Therefore, Dean also heard the latest order received by Captain Andro clearly.

As for the so-called invitation to enter the royal port and wait for the arrival of the Jade Grand Duke, Dean was equally noncommittal.

The other party already has the corresponding arrangement.

No matter where it is, the other party will make a move.

Therefore, it is far better to enter the other party's harbor than to hang alone; After all, once something happens, he 'misses' and damages any port facilities, royal capital buildings, and even some nobles and knights of Gaosai, presumably the king of Gaosai will also forgive him; After all, he made an unintentional mistake.

So, in the face of Andro's invitation, Dean readily agreed.

And Dean agreed, and the rest of the flotilla naturally did not object.

Moments later, when Andro returned to his ship and guided the ship towards the port of the King of Gosai, the fleet of the Zergaon family followed in turn.

And in the case of smooth sailing, early the next morning.

The fleet of the Zelgang family saw the royal port of Gaosai.

The docks, made of a series of solid rocks, were nothing more like a fortress than for the entry and exit of ships, and from the perspective of the Zelgaon fleet, the harbor in the distance was a giant beast crawling there.

And where the ships go in and out is the mouth of the beast.

The iron fences are the teeth of the beast's mouth.

On the top side, one by one, arrow towers, every twenty feet, are densely distributed on it, and groups of soldiers are shuttling among them.

Anyone who sees this place will think that it is a military fortress, not a port.

In fact, the royal capital port of Gaosai was originally a military port.

It's just that with the trade with Emerald and the Free Federation, a similar civilian wharf was gradually developed on the side of the military port, and with the passage of time, this civilian wharf became bigger and bigger because of the prosperity of trade, and finally, the pure military port began to integrate into the civilian use.

Of course, the dock where the warships are parked is still strictly forbidden to any civilian ships to approach.

Woo, woo......

The trumpets sounded, and the largest iron fence outside the harbor, dragged by the winch, began to rise gradually, even behind Andro's ships. The fleet of the Zergaon family sailed into it.

Click, click!

As the last ship entered, the iron fence behind re-sealed the entire harbor in a piercing grind.

At the same time, at the dock, several groups of soldiers suddenly left in a hurry, which attracted people's attention.

"What's wrong?"

Dean looked at the soldier who was far away and asked Nord.

"A gang of prison robbers has appeared in the city, and they are fleeing in all directions!"

Moments later, Nord returned to say goodbye.

"The prison robber?"

Dean muttered to himself, and then, with a meaningful look at Elder Ronk.

The latter sneered.
