66 Heroes of the West Country
The prisoners' confessions were very different from Jiang Xiaotan's guess. This sea attack was the personal behavior of some lords who opposed Cypler and could not completely represent the will of King Francis of East.
However, if they don't resist this time and are captured by the Duke, maybe the king will come forward to mediate. But now Jiang Xiaotan has destroyed most of his main fleet with the power of one ship. Even if it is a self-defense counterattack, East Francie
King Si probably won't lean towards Jiang Xiaotan anymore.
Of course, it is impossible to declare war directly, because after all, it is the navy that kills people first, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to operate some subsequent treaties such as friendly trade.
"Let's continue to West Francis according to the planned route. Hitting a wall in the east is not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe people in the west will like us more for this."
Everyone was a little worried after hearing Jiang Xiaotan's words, but Daisy Li nodded.
A few days later, the ship sailing along the coast crossed the mouth of the Rigne River, the dividing line between East and West Francis.
Further west is the territorial waters of West Francis.
When they got close to here, Jiang Xiaotan gave the prisoners a small boat and let them go back. Anyway, the culprit had been killed, leaving these guys to waste food and fresh water.
And he hopes that doing so can restore Sepler's image a little bit and prevent things from getting too tense.
But the young man who jumped into the water was left on the boat.
The reason is simple. He needs people who can swim in the sea with their hands tied by ropes.
This young man's name is William Hermani Meyer, the youngest son of Heinrich, an important minister under the throne of East Francis. He could have lived a life of fine clothing and fine food in the Ten Cow Castle, but because he longed for the sea, he ran away
A subordinate of his distant relative, Duke Talib, became a stormtrooper captain on the Duke's flagship.
Originally, he was planning to compete in swordsmanship with the monsters from the Eastern Continent, but as a result, his ship was sunk before he even had a chance to start a boarding battle.
In the first few days, Jiang Xiaotan expressed to William his idea of accepting him as his younger brother, and the young man naturally refused to obey. So Jiang Xiaotan left him alone in the cabin, with only Daisy going back to look after him occasionally.
Because of the relationship between Daisy's father and Prince Shiniu, Daisy lived in Shiniu Fort for a long time when she was young, so she spoke the dialect of Shiniu Fort very smoothly.
Therefore, William initially regarded Daisy as a fellow countryman, and did not realize that this blonde girl was actually Daisy, a necromancer who was regarded as an "immortal demon" by the Eastern Army during the civil war. Even this hot-blooded boy even treated Daisy.
Silly had a special feeling.
Daisly only treats William as a little kid. After all, in terms of age, William is considered her great-grandson.
Until one day William suddenly said to Daisy: "Let's escape together? As long as we have a small boat, we can escape to land!"
Daisy looked like she was looking at a fool: "Escape? Come with me? Do you know who I am?"
"Are you from East France? Don't you want to go back to your homeland with me?"
Daisly shook her head: "To be precise, I am a Western Francis, and I am your enemy."
"That doesn't matter. As long as you marry me, no one will know that you are from the west. Even if they do, it doesn't matter. There are many girls from the west who have married to the east."
"Married? You call the girls kidnapped during the war married?"
"Well, some of them were kidnapped, but in fact, no matter east or west, we are all the same Francis, right? We are connected by blood!"
"Connected by blood? Well, you're right, I do have a lot of East Francis blood on my hands."
"Blood? Are you...a spy for the Westsiders?"
"No, I participated in the civil war and killed many people from the east."
William was a little confused: "Civil War? The last war happened thirty years ago, right? You look less than twenty years old."
Daisy laughed: "So, you don't know who I am. Have you heard of 'Immortal Daisy'?"
"That...terrible necromancer...? Do you..."
Daisy nodded with satisfaction: "Yes."
"Are you the daughter of the immortal Daisy?"
Although the East Franciscans demonized Deslie very much, in fact the general public knew very little about Deslie's true situation.
Daisy rolled her eyes and was thinking about how to give this stupid boy a slap in the face when someone behind her spoke up: "This is the immortal Daisy herself, one of the greatest mage heroes in our country."
The visitor was a dark-skinned, tall, baby-faced woman.
Her name was Julie, and she was the special envoy from Si Francis who came to greet Jiang Xiaotan.
The Council of Mages in West Francis monitored the naval battle immediately and learned the course of Jiang Xiaotan's ship, so they sent people early to greet the ship in the territorial waters.
Compared with the domineering East Francis people, the people from the west were much better at welcoming guests. Special envoy Julie came to the ship in person in a small boat, and the several sailboats she brought with her were brought with Jiang Xiaotan's consent.
Follow Jiang Xiaotan's boat in an orderly manner to escort them.
After hearing that Desili was on the ship, the envoy made a request to meet "the great hero in his heart".
Although the legend about Deslie was deliberately suppressed in areas close to the center of power in West France, in some places along the coast, the story of Deslie was spread in exaggerated... and tragic ways.
Julie, who grew up on the southern coast, has naturally respected this heroine since she was a child, and has also collected a set of magic pictures about Daisy produced by the Council of Mages.
However, due to the excessive absorption of life energy, Daisy's current image is slightly different from that in the picture, but this does not prevent Julie from recognizing Daisy at a glance.
William was completely confused by Julie's words.
He cannot accept that the blonde girl he likes is the battlefield killer of the Westerners, "The Immortal Daisy."
She is still a centenarian old enough to be his grandma!
Julie ignored William, who was close to an out-of-body state, and excitedly bowed to Daisy to say hello and asked for an autograph.
Daisy was somewhat unable to adapt to this sudden appearance of her crush. She was withdrawn and couldn't stand others treating her so warmly.
Julie pestered Daisy for a long time, until Daisy reluctantly took the quill from her hand and signed her name on the picture she had prepared, Julie let go of her idol.
During this process, William kept looking here blankly. It wasn't until the two of them left that he murmured:,
Chapter completed!
