While the Immortal Pirates returned to Torbalad Island, they were far away from the seas of tens of thousands of miles, the capital of Kurtiras, a powerful human naval power, outside the famous trading port of Beralas.

The ruler of this country, the Admiral of the Alliance, was respected by countless people and hated by the same number of people, Deline Prodmore, just visited the new warship that was about to be launched.

When the king goes on patrol, naturally there should be elite guards guarding around him.

But Dai Lin did not have many protectors around him. This king had a strong and powerful life. He was in his prime. His heroic personality like the sea did not like many people around him.

However, people who are close to each other can certainly follow the king at close range.

For example, Dai Lin’s most trusted comrades.

Compared with a few months ago, Dai Lin's mental state has improved a lot, no longer as haggard and painful as before. He should have slowly walked out of the pain of losing his son.

Especially when the orcs were slaughtered in the curse land and returned to their hometown, the period of time with family members made the Admiral return to the majestic and awe-inspiring state of the past.

Especially after carefully taking care of his demeanor, trimming his beard, and putting on a hunting suit from the nobles of Kurtiras, the king, who already has four children, also had the chic temperament of a domineering uncle who could relax and scream in the young girls.

"William, I am very satisfied with the new gunboat you personally supervised. This new ship with full firepower should be equipped into the fleet as soon as possible to replace the main battleships damaged in the war."

Dai Lin rode on a majestic sea-maned horse. He skillfully pulled the reins and joked to a jazz sir who was also warrior-like with him, saying:

"Of course, confidentiality must be done well. lest our precious drawings be stolen by Gilness's red-eyed wolf."

"Your Majesty, what the Gilness spies stole was just the design drawings of the previous generation of warships. The design is outdated. Old-style warships need to be equipped with sages of the sea to exert their maximum combat power."

The nobleman who was joking by Dai Lin smiled helplessly and explained:

"But our new gunboat has improved the sail system and shape, especially the increase in firepower, allowing it to easily suppress the navies of other countries without the need for the tide sage.

Besides, Your Majesty, hasn’t that matter been found out?

Gilness was able to steal the design of the battleship because Lord Storson's incompetent son was tempted by beauty.

Haha, those Gilnesses, marked by wolves, can even use such despicable means.”

"As young people, it's normal for them to be lustful. Who hasn't been young yet?"

Dai Lin glanced at the solemn Lord Ashfan beside him and whispered:

"Just like William, you were a group of lovers when you were young? Besides, the child has received the punishment he deserves, and he no longer has the chance to inherit the power of the Storson family.

This lesson will be remembered for a lifetime.”

"But Lord Storson chose his nephew Brannon Storson, and did not look like a man who could revive his family."

Lord William shook his head.

He stopped talking about this and asked again:

"The fleet commanders and sailors are still in the process of repairing. This orc war has caused us to lose a lot of veterans, new recruits are still recruiting, and they still need training to form combat effectiveness.

Why is Your Majesty so anxious to urge the fleet to change clothes? I heard that you went to the gun factory to inspect yesterday. Did you notice the danger?"

"Danger, not considered."

Dai Lin touched his beard and said:

"But I have always felt an inexplicable feeling lately that this sea may not be calm for long.

Although the orcs have failed, our fleet still cannot be idle. Recent reports from the Navy show that a new force has emerged on the South China Sea route.

They called themselves ‘Forgotten’, and the leader seemed to be a troll.”

"pirate?"

Lord William Ashvan was stunned when he heard Dai Lin's words, and he quickly joked:

"What kind of pirates? Can they attract the personal attention of the 'King of the Sea'? This makes me curious. Are the Forsaken Pirates different from those who used to fear us?"

"They have nothing special, but they are very brave."

Dai Lin shrugged and said to his old friends around him disapprovingly:

"Half a month ago, they took the initiative to attack a caravan under Farreville. Even those poor people beat the flag of Kul Tiras, they were not spared.

The crew members who survived by chance reported that the pirates would use witchcraft to drive the dead to fight.

I don't pay much attention to them, but if the pirates' leaders were trolls, then perhaps their origins would be implicated with the Zandala trolls in the South China Sea.

Even if this group of pirates dared to attack Kurtiras's maritime merchants, they were no longer ordinary pirates. This was a provocation to us, a provocation to the entire heroic navy of Kurtiras!

If we do not fight back with thunder, the pirates in the South China Sea who will never disappear will be lucky."

"Well, if that's the case, you really have to treat it with your heart."

Lord Ashvan laughed twice, but he was a little dissatisfied.

Just a pirate.

Pirates in the South China Sea will never die. The sea full of wealth and opportunity will always attract despairers from all over the world to plunge into it.

They are like weeds in the fields. After they are cut, they will grow again soon.

The endless pirates may scare people from other countries. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the Kurtilas, they only represent countless military merits, titles and wealth.

It's like a group of pigs raised in captivity.

When the pig becomes fat, it's time to kill it.

Every time the fleet is dispatched, when the pirates are wiped out in the South China Sea, all the pirates cannot be killed, and some "seeds" must be left behind. This has become a consensus among the navy.

Just like the truth that all diligent fishermen understand, no matter what they do, they cannot fish out of their waters.

We need to talk about "sustainable" development.

Furthermore, having pirates in the South China Sea is not a bad thing. They can effectively attack other countries and other forces' commercial forces, creating more opportunities for Kurtiras maritime merchants.

As for the Ku national maritime merchants are not afraid of pirates?

Well, they are not afraid.

As long as the pirates have a little brain, they dare not touch the caravan of Kurtiras.

It is said that the goblin consortium has also begun to imitate the Kurtilas methods in recent years. The cunning green-skinned guys seem to be preparing to cultivate their own pirates.

In short, pirates are almost forming a "special industry" in the South China Sea, and there are many forces involved, and I can't explain it clearly in one sentence or two.

But one thing is certain, as long as the Kurtilas fleet is still there and as long as the Dailin is still there, they will never think of any flowers in the South China Sea.

Lord William Ashvan and Deline talked a few more interesting stories about the recent times, and the topic soon came to some major national events.

"Speaking of this, Arthur's child will be officially married in three months.

Although the old Lord has not announced it on a formal occasion, judging by a series of recent changes in the Vicres family, Arthur is likely to take over as the head of the family after getting married.

What does Your Majesty think about this matter?"

"I have no opinion."

Dai Lin was impatient with this political temptation, and he replied:

"Arthur was a good boy, brave, kind, and upright, inherited all the virtues of the Vicres family. Although his fiancée was not from a famous family, I have also seen it several times.

He was very talkative, he was a very smart woman, and the sincere feelings between her and Arthur reminded me of what I was like when I was young and my Catherine.

And Arthur still..."

Speaking of this, Dai Lin's hand holding the horse's reins tightened.

A hint of loss flashed in his eyes, and his tone became softer:

"Arthur is also Drake's good friend. I will bless the child's marriage. I will not allow anyone to destroy this happiness and good things!"

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry."

Lord William Ashvan lowered his head.

He glanced at Dai Lin's expression and continued:

"But it is reported that Lord Vicres personally invited Pope Alonsus Fao to come to Kultilas to preside over the wedding for his children.

This made the Storson family very dissatisfied.

I know your Majesty, you don’t like to listen to these things, but this is a matter of the country’s righteous faith after all.

Once the heirs of the Vicres family are formally baptized, it means that the status of the Church of the Holy Light in the Kingdom will be huge... Hum? What is going on?"

The Baron's words were interrupted by an emergency, and something rushed out of the forest next to him.

He felt something approaching, and the warrior's instinct made him hold the hilt of the sword around his waist, and Dailin reacted faster than he was.

While pulling out the sailor's sword at his waist, the legendary warrior grabbed Lord William Ashvan beside him and threw him towards the guard behind him.

He himself jumped up from the war horse and made a standard slash at the masked assassin who was attacking next to him.

"Bang"

Dai Lin held the slender sailor sword in his hand and made an overwhelming cry when he collided with the assassin's elves. While the sword body was broken, the slender assassin quickly retreated and waved his hand to smash a ball of magic on Dai Lin.

The next moment, four or five flaming demon spirits broke through the space and jumped out, and approached the king holding the broken sword under the gathering impact.

Then...

"boom"
