Chapter 414: Setting Sail II.
About ten minutes later, Ronk came forward as an invitation.
Dean was in the captain's chamber of the fleet's flagship, meeting with Terek, who represented the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
This is a middle-aged man who looks ordinary, dresses ordinarily, and is even bleak.
Not only is it inconspicuous in the crowd, but even if it is standing in front of you, if you don't pay special attention, you will forget it in the next moment.
Assassin originated?
Dean felt the familiar aura and couldn't help but guess.
For this 'Terek' under the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Dean received some rather useful information from the Grand Duke's Chief Swordsman.
First of all, the other party has considerable strength, at least above ordinary silver.
Secondly, the other party has a set of effective training methods, and has trained at least one great knight close to the silver threshold for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and four great knights in the true sense, as well as no less than twenty knights.
To put it simply, the reason why the Chancellor of the Exchequer was able to communicate with Delon. Wolf was evenly matched and dodged DeLong a few times. Wolfe's plot is inseparable from the 'Terek' in front of him.
Therefore, the original Delong. On more than one occasion, Wolf wanted to buy Terek.
However, 'Terike' has an extraordinary loyalty to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Of course, the name 'Terek' is just a claim from the other party, and as for the real name, it is unknown.
"I've seen Lord Zelgaon!"
The middle-aged man with an ordinary face gave Dean a noble salute.
"Hello, Terek!"
Dean nodded back, then. Dean remained seated. fell silent.
Dean didn't say much to greet or ask. It's not that he has any dissatisfaction or malice towards the other party, it's just that he simply guesses the other party's reason for wanting to see him.
After all, according to the process, after the other party and Ronk have completed the formalities of handing over the fleet, they should leave.
As for the Chancellor's 'full help'?
Dean never thought it was sincere, and the relationship between the two sides was far from being as good as that.
So, the next moment. Facing the 'Terike' who brought the news, Dean couldn't help but be stunned -
"Your Excellency Zelgaon, I have received news from the spies that the remnants of the Pirate Alliance are ready to attack you and your family at sea!"
The middle-aged man said.
"Oh, just their words, I guess they don't have to worry too much!"
Dean quickly recovered and looked at the other with a smile.
Others may not know about this fleet, but as one party to the transaction, the other party knows it. A fleet of ten large ships is not something that anyone can handle.
Maybe. The Pirate Alliance, which was not exterminated by the Emerald Grand Duke at the beginning, has this ability.
But, that was at the beginning!
As for now?
Just look at the last time Corco tried his best, but he was still a straggler.
Not to mention that Dean still has a killer weapon in his fleet - two magic cannons!
With such two magic cannons, even the original pirate king needs to carefully evaluate the surname, let alone the current pirate alliance.
Therefore, Dean was sure that there was something in the other party's words.
"The remnants of the Pirate Alliance have the support of some people on the Free Federation Trade Island!"
Terek's voice was lowered.
"Free Federal Trade Island?"
Dean's brow furrowed.
the Free Federation, an island nation of wizards, free mercenaries, and merchants; The largest island is the Free Capital, and there are three smaller islands, namely the Three Islands of Trade, the Military Port, and the Arcane.
It is a very special force.
There is a concept of the state, but it is a structure similar to that of a trade union organization.
There is no such thing as a king or royal family, but a parliamentary system that governs the four islands.
Among them, the representatives of the trade islands are the merchants.
And for these merchants, Dean has a deep impression, not only has more greed than outside merchants, but also has a unity far beyond that of outside merchants.
And this has greatly increased their 'combat effectiveness', coupled with the support of the military port and the Mystic Law Island, it is absolutely impossible to ignore.
However, Dean didn't think that he had any relationship or grudge with these merchants, and that there was no need for the other party to support the remnants of the Pirate Alliance to attack him.
And the feud with the Pirate Alliance?
After Colco was captured, the Emerald Grand Duke had captured the remaining remnants of the Pirate Alliance.
Therefore, the remnants of the pirate alliance that are still at sea can be regarded as an outsider at best. The members of the Wai are even, or even ordinary pirates under the banner.
Knock, knock......
Dean tapped on the arm of his chair, thinking about the connection.
Merchants are profit-seeking, and those pirates under the banner of the Pirate Alliance are even more greedy like vultures, and they suddenly want to deal with themselves, definitely not because of hatred, they are far from being so bloody!
Since it's not hatred......
Dean, who was thinking about it, suddenly heard the sound of the waves and waves, and suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
Nautical!
Claimed to be able to see the sea, the navigation skills of the Frost Family!
The merchants on the trade island, despite the help of the sorcerers, will still have losses in the face of the unpredictable sea.
Then, for the Frost Family's navigational skills, they will naturally covet it.
It's just that because of my own identity, I can't start directly!
Then, when the Pirate Alliance happened again, and the Zelgans were involved, the merchants naturally found an opportunity - not in the open, but not in the open.
"Thank you for informing me, and please say hello to Master Kuster for me!"
After figuring out the key points, Dean responded with a smile.
"I wish you all the best!"
With such a blessing, Terek quietly left Dean's captain's room.
Dean got up from his chair, walked to the window, and glanced at the water beneath the boat. The latch of the window fell again.
"Pirates, Trade Islands, ......"
Dean turned. Took a deep breath. I thought silently in my heart.
Dean is not worried about such a combination of interests that take advantage of each other.
Because, he knows very well that the most common phenomenon in such a combination is that the work is not effective; Therefore, just be careful.
When he's done the last thing on this trip south, it's not too late to clean up these guys!
After all, casting the core of those twelve metal golems. That's what Dean is most concerned about.
And just as Dean pondered whether he had missed anything in his plan, Tom knocked on the door of the captain's room.
"Young Master, Your Highness has set you sail!"
……
The Emerald Archduke stood on the docks, scanning the ten large ships of the Zergaon family, especially the two galleons, with surprise in his eyes.
She could tell that the sailboats were new, and that they were not from any of the shipyards in Southport.
"What a surprise!"
The Emerald Grand Duke chuckled.
Although she saw some clues, the Jade Grand Duke chose to believe Dean - she believed that her gaze could not be wrong.
That kind of loyalty and trust.
Therefore. She is willing to reciprocate the same loyalty to trust.
However, the Countess Katyu and Deta on the side were a little surprised.
The two countesses exchanged glances. began to secretly speculate in the bottom of my heart.
Especially the Countess Deta, as the county king of Southport, she expressed great surprise and self-reproach that the Seymour United family had such a fleet.
Originally, she thought that she had a good grasp of Nangang, but the appearance of this fleet made Countess Deta make up her mind to rectify Nangang County again.
Of course, she is also getting clearer and clearer about the idea in her heart.
The Deta family needs an heir!
Originally, her niece was the best choice, but her niece's children were not impossible, especially when the paternal side showed enough talent and strength, such a bloodline was reassuring.
And if the patriarchal side of this heir still has enough power, it will naturally be even better!
"Your Highness!"
Dean stepped down from the tread sticking out of the side of the flagship, and saluted respectfully.
"This is my battle flag, hang it on your mast - frost and jade, will walk together!"
The Emerald Grand Duke took the golden battle flag from the hand of the chief of the guard and handed it to Dean.
"It's an honor!"
With a smile, Dean took the golden battle flag.
Looking at the golden battle flag in front of him, the smiling Dean's vision seemed to blur for a moment.
However, the next moment, he was back to normal.
"Your Highness, the fish has bitten the bait - I will fulfill your request to deliver your letter to the Tata Master, the wizard of the Mystic Island, and explain why!"
The words in front were spoken by Dean in a voice that only those in the vicinity could hear, and the words in the back were spoken aloud so that all the people on the docks could hear them clearly.
Immediately, the guests who had followed the Jade Grand Duke to see him off applauded Dean one after another, as if Dean had returned from the Jade Archduke's request.
However, how many of them are sincerely blessed, only they know in their own hearts.
"Dean, it's all the best!"
As Dean returned to the ship again, Emerald said goodbye, and the chief guard waved his arms.
The people on the dock also sent their blessings again.
Many people watched as the fleet of the Zelgaon family sailed out of the dock and drifted away until it became a small black dot and finally disappeared.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! ”
Just as the Grand Duke of Emerald was about to return to Emerald Castle, the butler David was hurrying in on a horse.
"What's wrong, David?"
The Jade Grand Duke looked at the steward who was in a hurry on the war horse in the distance, and a flash appeared next to the butler who was a hundred yards away, and grabbed the war horse.
"Your Highness, Prince Gosai Fender has sent an invitation to watch the founding celebration of Gosai!"
The butler said.
