The sun is shining, the sea breeze is blowing, looking at the endless sea, people who see this scene for the first time will have a feeling of grandeur and relaxation in their hearts.

Take a deep breath, breathe in the salty sea breeze, walk on the soft and comfortable sand, and gaze out at the joyful crowds around you.

"Is this the shore of the tides? Is this the base of the most feared and murderous pirates of the Western Ocean, the Tsar?"

Ryan sat on a wooden crate in front of the dock, took a deep puff of Zuihou's cigarette, and exhaled a cloud of emotion. He and his companion Zaga had been on the island known as the Tide Coast for some time, far from the mainland and almost isolated from the rest of the world. He didn't have the idea of going back yet, because after staying for so long, he still couldn't believe that the base of the pirate giant was such a paradise on earth.

The people here are simple and kind, the girls here are innocent and lovely, there is no intrigue here, and there is no indifference to compete with you. When Ryan first arrived on the island, he was infected by the warmth of the people, who treated him as if he were a relative returning from a distant land.

"Hey, are you thirsty?" a coconut fruit was thrown over, followed by a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old in a swimsuit, "I see that you must be thirsty and hungry after sitting here smoking for so long." Drink it. ”

Seeing the smile on the girl's face, Ryan couldn't help but smile, and his finger flicked on the coconut, and with a 'bang', a small hole popped out of the coconut shell. He took a long sip, licked his dry lips and said, "How do you know I'm thirsty?" Have you been following me?"

The girl was ashamed and ashamed of what he said, and lowered her head and did not speak. Sometimes you are talking without talking.

Ryan took another sip and said, "The climate is great here. But it's not hot anymore, and you're dressed so coolly, be careful that you're prone to colds. ”

"Thank you...... xiexie。 The little girl's feet kicked in the sand, and she was a little afraid to look up at him. He only said, "Why don't you play with us, look at your friend, he has a lot of fun with us." ”

Zechar was a very wooden person. It was always as if he was hiding something in his heart, but when he arrived here, he was already so happy that he played with the people here every day, and forgot his sorrows and troubles.

"Don't you like it here?" the little girl finally couldn't help but look up at the handsome young man she liked.

"I loved it here. ”

"Then you're always alone?" asked the little girl curiously.

Ryan sighed, "Because I love it so much, I always feel like a dream, it's so beautiful." It was so beautiful that I was afraid that this dream would shatter at the slightest touch. ”

The little girl took his hand and smiled: "It's not a dream, come, come and play with us." ”

Ryan didn't want to resist, and he was reluctant to resist, and he was pulled into the crowd by this happy little girl. Playing games together, playing in the sand together, and dancing funny and funny beach monster dances together.

Happy days will always pass faster in time, and before you know it, twilight has fallen. The people of the island returned to their homes, and Ryan and Zega had their own homes.

"You guys had a great time today. "When they entered the house, there was already a person in the room. It was the outlets, who had not been seen since he had sent them to the island, and had not come to see them until then.

"Do you always like to break into someone's cabin without permission?" Ryan sat down a little unhappily and poured himself a glass of water.

The house is a small cabin, not too big and not too small, and it is no problem to live for two people.

The outlet didn't care, and said lightly: "It seems that you guys like it here, and I'm worried that you arrogant people won't be used to living on such a remote island." ”

Sakya said: "I can't believe that this is the residence of the pirate Tsar, and the rumored group of bloodthirsty bandits who kill people without blinking an eye would actually live in such a beautiful place. ”

"Are you surprised?" said the outlet, "Markoshin and many of her men like to live here, they were pirates when they went to sea, and when they come back they are no different from ordinary people. And a lot of the rumors you hear are just rumors, and some people like to exaggerate things, and the exaggerated rumors will only get more and more bizarre. ”

"You seem to mean that the Tsar is a good man. Is it?" Ryan asked.

Oelite chuckled softly, neither answering nor denying it, he just continued, "Markoshin doesn't live here a lot of the time, and she has another place for their pirates to live. But I have nothing to do with them here, I just want to ask you, do you still want revenge?"

"Of course. Ryan replied.

The outlet squinted at them: "You hesitated to answer. ”

Ryan said, "We will never change our determination for revenge. ”

The outlet sighed: "The Iron Blood Mercenary Group has become what it is now, and we have some responsibility. ”

"What do you mean?" said Ice Monk Zekya, who was puzzled by his words.

The outlet said, "Actually, we are the ones who secretly hired you to go to the Blurred Realm. ”

Zaga and Ryan were both stunned: "What, it's you!?"

"Don't be angry. The task is entrusted to us, but it is your regimental commander who is willing to accept it, and you two should not take your anger out on me. ”

Ryan and Zega are indeed angry, the reason why the iron-blooded mercenary group is like this is because they were hired to go to the Mysterious Realm, otherwise how would they end up in this miserable situation.

Saga asked, "The strength of the Tsar's subordinates is so strong, and Weishenme wants to hire others to go on adventures in the Ten Forbidden Lands?" Is it to find a replacement for the dead to help you clear the way?"

The outlet didn't answer, but said, "It's not for you to ask." If you want revenge, can I help you?"

"We want revenge with our own hands, and we don't want to borrow someone else's hand. Ryan said.

"You're mistaken. The outlet said, "I don't like to help others with personal matters, and I mean helping to make you stronger." ”

"Can you make us stronger?"

The outlet said, "I can't, but someone can." If you promise, I will take you to a place in a few days to meet someone, but you have to think clearly, after meeting that person, you will be our people, and you must completely get rid of the identity of the iron-blooded mercenary group, and there is only one way to die. ”

Zechar thought for a moment and asked, "What if we don't see that person?" ”

"It's okay if you don't see it. The outlet said: "Do you remember what I told you on the boat when I came? When you come here, you will have no freedom, and you can only stay here for the rest of your life, and you cannot leave." ”

Ryan and Zaga exchanged glances and thought for a long time: "Okay, we promise to join you, but only after we get revenge." ”

The outlet shook his head and got up and said, "You don't have the right to make conditions. I'm leaving, I'll pick you up in a few days. ”

......

St. Vicia, the royal capital.

In the current situation, Radat can't accept the defeat in front of him, and more importantly, he does have a good chance of winning by joining forces with the Divine Gripon Empire to flank the Demon Moon. So after two days of thinking and Duane's persuasion, Radat had the heart to fight the Demon Moon with all his might, at least to sweep the Demon Moon back to the north of the Vulcan Mountains.

However, this matter has been unanimously opposed by many old ministers, saying that the domestic political situation has just stabilized, the king has not been in power for a long time, and his position is still unstable, so he should first stabilize the country, sweep away rebellion, and calm people's hearts.

Duane, who instigated the Rada to fight, also has his own statement, he feels that it is precisely because of the instability of the people in the country that he should be tough on the outside world, and use the way of war to strengthen the cohesion of the domestic Shili, so that the people up and down can go to the outside world.

This also makes sense, there have been many cases in history of using foreign wars to unite the country and consolidate the stability of the royal power, and when external aggression makes people uneasy, internal contradictions have also quickly subsided temporarily. Of course, most of the ministers were against the war, and there were some other ideas, after Ladat came to power, he purged the royal capital and some civil and military officials in the country, and appointed many of his own cronies, but there were still many ministers inside and outside the royal capital who did not follow the crowd and follow the iron-blooded prince, but although these people did not follow Zalborg, they were not effectively loyal to Radaat. In fact, when Zalbor was in power, they both had an ambiguous relationship with Zalborg. If this time Radat decides to fight an all-out campaign, and it succeeds, and the front-line soldiers are awarded military merits, they will naturally be loyal to Ladhat, so that King Radat will have his own promoted cronies and soldiers loyal to him outside, then these old ministers, who are still in high status and holding authority, will naturally have no place to stand.

However, in fact, although the opponents have status and prestige, not all ministers oppose them, and there are many supporters of resisting national humiliation, some of these people are public for the country, and there are also selfish people who let their family relatives make achievements on the battlefield, and some follow Duane, and have formed a faction of supporters.

Some people support and some oppose, and Radat has a certain confidence in deciding to launch a big war against the Demon Moon, not to mention that he wants to establish his authority through this. In fact, Radat was not a monarch of great talent at all, which can be seen from his distrustful attitude towards the domestic political situation, foreign wars, and repeated appointments and deployments of the army after he took office. He had been hiding in the shadow of Zalberg before, just to save his life and protect his throne, and now he wants to go to war with the outside world just to consolidate himself, not really have any foresight and do something.
