Lord Odo believes that now except for the one-armed Jolly, I am afraid that no one in Dubrovnik will be able to defeat the Knight of Enod head-on.

And the Knight of Enod and the former Prime Minister McLandall have a lot of friendship, although the Lord of Cassadine seems to be neutral and friendly, but in fact he is also playing his own small calculations, since the death of Lord Randall and Queen Mother Inni Randall one after another, the attitude of the Randall family has become ambiguous, I am afraid that after leaving the palace and returning to their own territory, it is a wise choice to look for opportunities again after all.

Lord Odo's intelligence network has heard some rumors beyond the Adriatic Sea about those pirates and exiled knights, and the next major variable may not be far away.

But are the rumors collected intentionally fabricated or true stories?

......

The mountains grew higher and higher, and the pale smoke surrounded them, and the sails were singing, and the drums continued to beat, and the wooden oars were paddling smoothly, and after a while, the small harbor appeared in front of them, so empty, and Kreshion thought to himself, this island was one of the main islands where the royal fleet docked, and he remembered that he had visited it before, when the small docks were crowded with ships, moored and swaying by the breakwater, and now the best berths were empty, presumably most of the ships were still at war, or docked somewhere else, He searched in vain from memory for other ships, but found nothing.

Before they entered the harbor, they collected their sails, and when they were only rowing and tethering their ropes, the captain of the royal fleet said to Kreshion, "Now rest here, and then we will return to Dubrovnik to meet the king." ”

Cresion tried to answer, but a cough erupted, and he quickly grabbed the railing and spat out, "......The king," he gasped, "I have to go to the king, why don't you go as soon as possible?" ”

Only after finding King Ronnie, swearing allegiance, and being recognized by the royal family can he survive, at least this can be regarded as truly surviving......

"No one will be able to see the king at this time, unless we can bring back the news of the defeat of Jocris's camp on all fronts, or have already killed Jocris, Lord Kreshion should already know that the armies of Lord Odo, Lord Cassadine, and Lord Oyzie have entered the hinterland of Chris's territory at full speed with the banner of the king, even if they have mysterious black magic, Jocrishi is still alone and outnumbered, and it is destined to be a big defeat! It's only a matter of time before Jokris is killed......"

Cresion was too weak to express any more dissent, so he could only nod.

"But, Lord Kreshien, fortunately, I showed up in time to save your life, and staying on that isolated island is certain to die, how dare those people leave such a noble lord as you in such a wilderness."

"They are uneducated thieves and robbers, and I am almost going to die in that kind of ghost place, and if Master George comes late, I am afraid that I will only have to bring back a lonely ghost......"

The people on the ship are replenishing some necessary supplies on this island, and there are some emergency items left on this island, which are just in handy now, the consumption of the battle is far more exaggerated than the usual daily consumption, and the remaining supplies of their ships are running out, if they encounter any accidents, they will be in danger, and this is the best time to replenish.

The two crew members counted the goods while carrying the supplies, "Thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty-nine. ”

When Cresian and George, the captain of the royal fleet, walked out of the cabin, one of the crew members was counting intently, and they all had some stains and battle blood on their bodies, and they had not had time to wash them, and several crew members had already changed into clean clothes from the stockpile.

He looked back and saw Cresion and the captain of the royal fleet, George, and suddenly paused, "Oh, oh, wait, it's Lord George and Lord Creshien!" ”

Cresion laughed to himself, "Yes, it's me, it's not a ghost, it's a living person." ”

"Not a ghost?" The crew member was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Kreshien's words, he could only nod in agreement, and then continued to count the materials that had been carried.

Obviously, all the crew members of this ship have been given some kind of order by George, the captain of the royal fleet, and this kind of order is to treat Cresian as a prince, not a prisoner, for a very simple reason, as George said before, Prince Cresion was bewitched by Jocris's black magic, one to ten, ten to hundred, and eventually everyone will believe it.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the purpose of fighting George was actually Creshien, whether Cresian wanted to or not, George had to take George from Chris's territory, God forbid, George finally found Creseon and even saved his life and gave him enough noble treatment.

Thinking of this, Kreshin felt that fate was really funny and foolish, obviously he and Jocriss were the righteous side, and he was the true heir to the throne of Dubrovnik, but anyone could believe it, he didn't understand the truth of becoming a king and defeating the king, only by losing this war with his own hands, at this time he could experience more deeply, if no one believes, if there is no strength, no matter how righteous it is, it will eventually be destroyed, the so-called blessing of the gods is just a lie of self-comfort, is there really a god in this world? If it really existed, there wouldn't be so much injustice and injustice in this world.

There are no gods in the world, or everyone is a god......

"The ultimate victory in this counterinsurgency war will be ours." George seemed to see Cressin's musings at this point. "Don't worry too much, it'll be fine."

"Is it us?" Cresion repeated this, and then said, "I heard that McCrandell has become the former Prime Minister again, please don't tell me that initiating this counterinsurgency war is also one of his plans, if you count this time, I can't believe that a powerful lord like Jocrishi will be defeated by McCrandell twice." ”

"But that's the way it is, although McLandall is the illegitimate son of the Randall family, he does have the extraordinary ability to become the former prime minister, in other words, no one is more suitable for this position than him......"

"Mr. George's evaluation is quite high." Kreshion had never cared about this McLandall of the Randall family before, and he had heard that McCrandell had temporarily become the former prime minister of Lord Randall, and he was still laughing at Lord Randall's bad idea behind his back, and it was only a snap of his fingers to take down Dubrovnik.

But they lost, they lost completely, and they had not yet regained their strength, and they were immediately raised by McClendell to quell the rebel Wang Qi, and the troops took the initiative to attack in two directions.

What makes him even more concerned is what kind of magic McLandall has to gain a foothold in the intricacies of the Dubrovnik royal family......

George commanded, "Take Master Cressien to the captain's quarters, and fetch him some hot fruit wine with aroma, I don't like his cough, and remember to squeeze the potion into it, and get some of the food you have just counted!"

The two crew members led Cresian into a large cabin in the middle of the ship, with a thick carpet, glass windows, and huge leather chairs that could seat all three Cressien comfortably, and the wine and food were quickly delivered, and he held it in both hands and took a sip with gratitude, the warmth spread in his chest, and it was comforting, this little bit of hot fruit wine was even more delicious than anything he had eaten before.

George then walked into the captain's room, "You have to bear some of this wine, my good lord, the wine on the ship is not as good as that of the Dubrovnik royal family, so let's be wronged for the time being." ”

"I can warm my chest." "Hot wine works much more than medicine......"

"In my opinion, you might as well put some medicine on it, oh my God! Staying on a desert island for so long, by the way, what do you think of this beautiful chair? Look, he's got a fat ass! ”

"Who?" Cresian asked, sipping a mulled wine.

"The Pirate King of the Pirates...... Tell you, he is like a whale with a long beard, and these chairs are made according to his figure, and though he seldom leaves his place, in fact, in my opinion, the fat man sits comfortably on anything, for he has cushions with him......"

"Have you defeated the pirate king Olu?" Cresian asked, "And snatched his chair?" He set the empty cup aside.

"Wrong, wrong, this is not called robbery, fighting pirates is also within the scope of our royal fleet, I'm just collecting debts, oh, theoretically I've made a fortune, yes, but in practice? Hey, the pirate Olu is a rich pirate, most of the treasure we have gotten has been handed over to the treasury, to be reasonable, if someone encounters the same situation as me, he will definitely take the treasure left by the pirate Olu, and become the master of the pirates in the Adriatic Sea, occupy a sea area as the king, without the permission of the pirate king, no one can cross that territorial waters, yes, no! The outlaws wanted to sneak through the night to evade the Pirate King's taxes and inspections, but of course I wouldn't do that, so I was rewarded by the royal family, and that's what made me different from those people. ”

"The battle at sea is terrible...... "Cresian listened to what George said, in fact, all this is not so simple, the sea is far more vast than the land, if you want to completely defeat someone or a certain strength at sea, unless it is a crushing strength, otherwise it only takes a stroke of effort, they will disappear, and they will never be found again......

"Do you want to see the pirate king Olu? It just so happened that he was also imprisoned on the island here. George said.

Cresion said, "Does Master George want me to see it too?" ”

They stepped out of the ship and soon disembarked, the long and lonely road to the island's cells, where the docks, once crowded with soldiers and sailors, were now empty and desolate, guarded only by a few crew members, and Cresine thought to himself that there were too many people who had died in a few wars.

The gate of the last tower was tightly closed, and George, the captain of the royal fleet, struck the wooden door with iron nails with his fist, and no one answered. He switched to kicking, again and again, and finally, a crossbow appeared in the tower above, looking down from the two tall top floors, "Who?" ”

He put his hands to his lips, raised his head and shouted, "I am George, the captain of the royal fleet!" What are you guys grinding on? ”

"I'm sorry, my lord, but we're so sleepy that we just fell asleep."

"Open the door!"

When they entered the tower, Krésian found it to be a warm black prison.

Yes, it was dark, and although there were torches in the ledges of the corridor walls, and a faint and flickering orange light shining through the ancient iron bars, the back half of the cell was still immersed in darkness, and it was damp, and it was to be expected on such an island and in such a place, after all, the sea was close at hand, and there were rats in it, as in any black prison, if not more.

But Cresian couldn't complain about the cold, his palms pressed against the walls of the black prison, and he could feel a little eerie warmth.

One of the two guards was short and strong, with broad shoulders and a strong giant palm. He wore studded leather armor, and the other guard was older, hunched over, with a yellow face, with greasy, dirty hair and rough skin, and his clothes were ill-fitting and appeared short and wide.

There are no windows on the thick stone walls of the black prison, so naturally there is no light of the sun and the moon, and the change of day and night can only be distinguished according to the change of guards. "In the darkness, people become lonely and eager to hear voices, and whenever the guards come to the cell of the king of the island, whether it is to deliver food or change the commode, he will try to speak to them, and he knows that no one will heed his pleas or pleas, so he asks questions, hoping that one day some one will speak." ”

"What will Oulu ask?" Cresion said, wondering what it was like to be a pirate king who once dominated the seas.

"Hmm...... He will promise the guards many benefits and the location of some treasures, of course no one will believe him, his words are true or false, but even if it is true, it is impossible to let him go like this, maybe it will be more valuable to keep him here in the future. George said slowly, "Lord Creshien, when a pirate king loses the power he has, then everyone will be his enemies, although the pirate king also has a king, but after all, he lost to this thief word, no one wants to help such a person, his future is bleak......"

Cresian understood the meaning of the words of George, the captain of the royal fleet, without strength and support, he was a thief who fell into the grass, a pirate who everyone chased, and the difference between him and the king of pirates was that he was a nobleman and not a commoner, no, not just a nobleman, but a close relative of the king, the most powerful person in the entire kingdom, but only if he swore allegiance to the king and was recognized by the king and the royal family, all this could become a reality, Otherwise, the name of the nobility and the royal family will become a burden and a stumbling block, and the powerful will not want to be an enemy of the same honorable status.

It's ridiculous and funny, Kreseen has always been proud of his status as a nobleman and a royal family, but now he suddenly no longer feels that way, in the face of absolute power, identity can be easily crushed, just as an illegitimate child who everyone is eager to become the former prime minister, leading all kinds of kingly affairs in Dubrovnik, and defeating royal families like them mercilessly one after another!

McLandall did what he couldn't do as a royal nobleman, and the illegitimate son of the Randall family, whom he once despised, did indeed work some kind of miracle......
