The steward continued, "After the deliberation of the important ministers and the consent of the king, the elite knights led by the Oyiqi family were brave and fearless, killed the rebel leader Jochris, the female swordsman Britney, and many elite knights died bravely, posthumously awarded the title of honorary lord of Britney Knight Dubrovnik, and rewarded the Oyiqi family with a large number of fiefs, and awarded the royal family the honorary sword!" ”
"After the deliberation of the important ministers, the king agreed, the Otto family, the family army led by the Cassadine family, brave and fearless, confronted the main force of the Jocris camp head-on, rewarded the Otto family, and the Cassadine family had a large number of fiefs, and awarded the royal family the sword of honor!"
"After the discussion of the important ministers and the consent of the king, the captain of the royal fleet, George, led the royal fleet to defeat the rebels near the coast of Jochris's territory and in the Adriatic Sea, rescued Prince Creshien, rewarded the captain of the royal fleet George with a large number of fiefs, and awarded the royal family the sword of honor!"

Awarded the title of Honorary Knight! ”
"In addition, all those who participated in the counterinsurgency war and made meritorious contributions will be rewarded one after another after the counterinsurgency war is officially over!"
Lord Odo, Lord Cassadine, Lord Oyzi, Knight Enod, Captain George of the Royal Fleet, and others thanked each other and accepted the reward, and then retreated to the sides of the throne room.
The warm and encouraging atmosphere continued, it was a moment of great glory and a moment that every knight, nobleman, and lord longed for all his life.
At this point, the grand celebration dinner at the Dubrovnik Palace is about to begin......
At the dinner, the palace attendants were pouring wine non-stop, and the glass of the dinner never dried up.
The Kingsguard escorted Ronnie Sheen and Queen Enie Randall to the podium, a row of long flags hung in front of them, and when the King and Queen Mother were seated, the Euriana Pope of the Church led the pre-dinner prayers.
The Knight of Enod sat on MacRandell's right, next to Lord Cassadine and his wife, two or three seats between him and Queen Mother Enni Randall.
"Fill your glass!" After the prayer was recited, King Ronnie Heeon followed Inni Randall's suggestion and proclaimed, and his sommelier hurriedly stepped forward to pour a whole pot of fruit wine into the golden cup, and the king held it in both hands, "To the whole of Dubrovnik!!" We've won a big battle! ”
"Long live Dubrovnik!" The whole hall chanted in response, "Long live King Ronnihion!" Banzai! Hundreds of glasses rang at the same time, announcing the opening of the celebratory dinner, and McClandell and Knight Enold toasted the first glass, and when they sat down, they were refilled.
The soup of mushrooms and bison stewed in gilded bowls, the musician's fingers brushing the strings of the harp, the room of the throne filled with sweet melodies, and then the dishes were served faster and more varied, and McCrandell asked for ale and cider, and freshly baked fish cakes, which were hot to the mouth, and a singer appeared next, singing the praises of the great deeds of kings, important ministers, and lords.
As Inod tasted the wines and looked at the luxurious scenes around him, a trace of uneasiness appeared in his heart.
That's right, it's this unstable mood that makes it seem like something big is going to happen every time there is a dinner at the Dubrovnik Palace......
It's like a convention, in the last dinner King Robert Sheehan was poisoned by a mysterious person, McCrandell was accused and framed by Enni Randall, the Knight of Enod never believed that McCrandell would kill Robert Sheehan's king like this, and the person behind such an event was neither Innie Randall, nor the lords and knights, and perhaps not the other team.
Who is that person? And what was his purpose in killing Robert Sheehan?
Enod re-brushed his thoughts as he ate, and if he wanted to know a person's motivations, he had to know what that person would gain by doing something.
After the death of King Robert Sheehan, it was logical that Ronnie Sheehan would succeed him, so it seems that King Rohnie Sheehan was the biggest beneficiary of this incident......
No, Ronnie Sheehan is too young, how could he be well-behaved and kind to plan such a thing? Moreover, now Ronnie Sheen only has the name of the king, and has no real power of the king, and the power to issue the king's edicts is in the hands of the former prime minister McClandall, the Queen Mother Inor Randall and various important ministers.
Dubrovnik's absolute rights can only be granted to Ronnie Sheen after he marries a wife and has children, or when the official crown gradually establishes prestige.
But now he is more like a pawn at the mercy of others, compared to Robert Sheehan, Ronnie Sheehan is obviously more likeable, no one doesn't like an obedient and troublesome king, he will survive......
At least until he takes full control of Dubrovnik, King Ronision will be protected by the majority of the people.
After removing King Ronnie Sheehan, the biggest beneficiary is the Cassadine family, the Cassadine family and Ronnie Sheen have a marriage contract first, and Robert Sheehan's death, Ronnie Sheehan's succession, make the Cassadine family the hottest family, as long as the Cassadine family and King Ronny Sheen marriage is not accidental, the Cassadine family will soon replace the status of the Otto family, even comparable to the Randall family.
After that, Ronnie Sheehan will be king, and the Cassadine family will be queen, and they will jointly rule the new Dubrovnik.
But despite this, Knight Enod does not think that the Cassadine family is the root of all this behind the scenes, the marriage contract is McCrandell's plan to win over the Cassadine family, the Cassadine family just weighed the pros and cons and made the right choice, they have no extra time to plan to poison King Robert Sheehan, let alone do it at the dinner party, expose themselves, and arouse the suspicion of others.
Although the Cassadines had motives, they had no reason and would not have acted in this way......
Next is Innie Randall, although this woman is full of power lust, scheming and trickery, but when she encounters such a thing as the death of her own son, it is reasonable to lose her mind, she hates McLandall in her heart, and his son Robert Sheehan inherited her will, so Robert Sheehan once humiliated McCrandell at the dinner party, and she also judged that McCrandell's assassination of King Robert Sheehan was a revenge based on her instincts!
But Knight Enod knew very well that McLandall was framed, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and Enni Randall and Robert Sheehan became the tools of the frame-up.
The only thing that is certain is that that person exists in the Dubrovnik Palace, even around him, or the Knight Enod has seen him countless times, except for the people of the other teams, all the unusual movements and events in the Dubrovnik Palace are basically caused by him, how many things are he still planning behind the scenes?
From the bottom of his heart, Knight Enod doesn't think that the people of other teams have such ability, they have only been in this world for a while, they can be familiar with the civilization here, stand firm in the complex situation, and live to the game is not easy now, but that person gives him the feeling that he has been planning and preparing for a long time.
What could be the reason for hiding for so long?
His goal may be to become the only king of Dubrovnik!
This time the dinner was indeed very well prepared, and the elite guards around the party had already carefully checked the belongings carried by the participants in the banquet, and even the kitchen or inconspicuous corners were checked several times by them, in order to avoid the recurrence of the previous tragedy.
But the feeling of uneasiness did not diminish with these perfect preparations, and Knight Enod knew very well in his heart that if the people they were hiding in the shadows wanted to make a move, these inspections alone would not stop them, and he was sure that an unprecedented drama would happen next, but he still couldn't guess what kind of appearance these would take......
King Ronnie Heen praised the intelligence and loyalty of his ministers, the bravery and courage of his knights and lords, and the nobles and ladies around him echoed and agreed.
The minstrours continued to sit around the dinner party, letting the beautiful music play and flow through the palace.
At the same time, more sumptuous and delicious dishes were successively served on the delicate and luxurious table, such as vegetable venison soup, beets with fruit fragments, fruits in shape, honey onions boiled in lean meat of animals, fish caught in the Adriatic Sea and roasted to the aroma of the fish, sprinkled with unknown powder, and even more tender and tempting.
An island in the Adriatic Sea.
A labyrinth of tunnels connects the islands underground, and is known to the pirates as the Trail.
It is dark, hidden, and hidden underground, and is rarely used in the summer, however, when the wind starts to blow and the rain starts to fall, the tunnel becomes the fastest way to move around the island.
The pirates had already used them to the fullest, and as they made their way through the tunnels, candles burning in several niches in the walls, and their footsteps echoed.
They walked through the gloomy darkness beneath the ground, each pantry with a solid oak door, locked with an iron lock the size of a plate.
A pirate with a ring of keys around his neck, as soon as he entered the house, took a pen from his pocket and marked each barrel, sack, and barrel as his count.
In the granary were oats, wheat, barley, and barrels of semolina, in the vegetable cellar bunches of onions and garlic hung from the rafters, bags of carrots filled the shelves, and in a pantry there were whole wheels of cheese so large that it took two people to move them. In the next room, barrels of salted pork, corned beef, and salted fish were piled high, ham and black sausages hung from the ceiling beams below the smoking room, and in the spice chests there were peppers, cloves, cinnamon, mustard seeds, coriander, chunks of salt, and elsewhere barrels of apples, pears, and oil, sealed with wax.
As they advanced from one basement to another, the path seemed to get colder and colder, and the next one was a rusty iron door with a wooden staircase behind it, strewn with iron hooks.
"My lord, we have more than enough supplies." One of the pirates said as he walked.
"Not enough questions, it's beyond my imagination......" replied the mysterious adult.
"We can move the stored food to the ships that need it." The pirate said.
"Let's wait for the order!"
As they returned to the surface, the gloomy afternoon was getting longer and longer, the clouds had pierced the sky like tattered flags, gray and white were torn, and a man was waiting for them outside.
The man was none other than the Pirate King Hisso, and when he saw that they had been counted, he casually asked, "How is it?" Do we pirates still have enough supplies to keep an eye on? ”
"That's enough, it's like it's meant to be reserved for an army." This mysterious adult is none other than Jocris's younger brother, Bamkris.
"Maybe, who knows?" Hissok replied with a smirk.
"What the hell is the adult you're following trying to do?"
"It's just a matter of preparing for the occasion."
"Just some unforeseen needs? Is that just a few? Bamkris said in surprise, not believing what the pirate king Hissok said, there were enough supplies stored here for an army to use for many years, and even the attack on Dubrovnik was not without a chance.
Unexpectedly, over the years, these pirates have secretly accumulated such a powerful force, as long as there are supplies, they can recruit soldiers, sailors and crews, and build a huge sea army.
Even if the leader of this army is a pirate......
"Of course, there are reserves elsewhere, and that's what the Lord did." Sheehan, the King of Pirates, replied.
"In that case, I'll soon find out who that lord is."
"That's right, I've received news from afar, Jochris's has been killed by the royal family, the Chris's family has been defeated, the rebels have fled in all directions, and the Chris's family's territory will soon be divided up by the royal family and other lords, and your lordship is now completely cornered."
"What's the difference? When a lion has had its fangs removed, it can only go berserk with incompetence, even if it finds other lions that have had their fangs removed, and can it defeat the hunters? The lion no longer has such strength. ”
"Lions will run away, but they will come back, and it's hard to say who will be the prey and who will be the hunter in the end." The Pirate King Hissok quipped.
"I'm tired, I'm already tired, whoever wants to be the king can do it, anyway, it has nothing to do with our Chris family, our family is finished!"
"Does it really matter?" The Pirate King Hissok blinked, "I also heard that Kreshin has returned to the Dubrovnik Palace, cleared the suspicion of a traitor, and regained his status as a prince. ”
"This?" This incident was a surprise to Bamkris, who thought that if Craysion was caught, he would definitely be hanged by the royal family. "How is this kind of thing possible? Is the source accurate? ”
"It's true! Although we are far from Dubrovnik, we have a lot of eyeliners, and this information is coming from reliable people in Dubrovnik's palace. ”
"How did Kreshion do such a thing, he's the biggest rebel leader besides my brother!"
"This shows that as long as people still have a certain value, then someone always has a way for you or him to live, doesn't it?" The Pirate King Sheehan added.
"So, you also let me live, this is a trick of fate, or a punishment!"
