Although its giant claws continuously attacked the giant shark transformed by Hayreddin, the siege crab was still pushed out of the bay, and the pirate ships left one by one from the sea filled with the smell of Hayreddin's blood.

Relying on the help of several aquatic demons transformed from demon believers and the poor performance of the siege crab commander, Hayreddin reluctantly retreated to his flagship.

In any case, Hayredin finally escaped from the outflanking of the Venetian fleet together with more than half of the pirate ships.

After fighting continuously for too long and with the gift that Earl Slam left on his shoulders, Hayreddin has reached his limit.

However, after dozens of the bravest pirates died under the claws of the siege crab, he decided to transform into a giant shark again and fight. Thousands of pirates in the bay were worried about their leader. At this moment, these human garbage felt

They had never had any respect and gratitude for their leaders in their lives. Instead of establishing authority through cruelty and massacre, Hayreddin established an authority that was completely different from that of the pirate leaders of the past.

Hayreddin did not abandon them. A leader should not abandon his subordinates. This common rule in the world does not apply in the world of pirates.

However, Hayreddin chose to abide by this rule, which gave him great prestige, which even outweighed the loss he suffered from being plotted by the Venetians this time.

But the biggest winner of this battle is undoubtedly the Consul Goriti. When he came out of the cabin under the belly of the siege crab, the sunset had already fallen on the Port of Trieste again, and there were more than fifteen pirate ships.

It was sunk or failed to evacuate in time and was stuck in the bay and was forced to surrender. The Venetian fleet is still pursuing it. It is certain that the Barbary pirates will not have the courage to enter the Adriatic Sea for a long time.

Although the counterattacks of the knights Jevich and Cassano saved a little dignity, the Austrian Navy, like its home port of Trieste, has indeed ceased to exist. Austria has a monopoly on the Adriatic trade of the Venetian Republic.

Gone is the challenge that had threatened the Republic of Venice for so long, from Ladislaus bringing a trading fleet to the enlarged port of Trieste.

"Thank you for your kindness and the timely rescue of the Venetian navy. Today's battle is evidence of the profound friendship between the people of Austria and Venice. The Austrian people will never forget today." Ladislaus had to receive him in accordance with diplomatic etiquette anyway.

The head of state of the Republic of Venice, especially the friend of the Europa pantheon who had done so much to help, was actually dispatched by the consul himself.

"The Kingdom of Spain also thanks you for your help." Princess Katharina did not expect to have the opportunity to be the hostess so soon. Although she had wanted to escape several times just now, she was eager to come over to share the glory of victory.

However, she did not expect that the person in front of her was the mastermind behind almost sending her to the Istanbul Palace. She felt strange about Ladislaus's diplomatic language.

"Please don't say that, we are late." Consul Goriti, wearing a Woking cloak, held Ladislaus's hand while looking lovingly at the ruins of Rias.

Port, he realized that Ladislaus's diplomatic language was unique and exquisite.

But in any case, no matter how sophisticated diplomatic language is, it will not damage the great advantages of the Republic of Venice.

"It's a pity that I can't show you the scenery of Trieste Port. I suggest that we go to Friuli to hold a banquet to entertain His Highness the Consul." Frundsberg lost no time in suggesting that it would disgust the complacent Gori.

Mention the consul.

Friuli was a territory recently ceded to Austria by the Republic of Venice.

"Thank you for your kindness, but no, I will immediately lead the army to continue to pursue the Barbary pirates. Their home port is the port of Ragusa. It is not once or twice that these thieves have protected the pirates of the devil believers in the name of believing in the Dark Sun.

Now, this time is a good opportunity to completely eliminate them." The Republic of Ragusa was a miniature country surrounded by Ottoman Empire territory.

Port city-state. This city-state not only maintained its political independence but also its religious beliefs. The Ottoman Empire allowed them not to convert to the Great Demon of the Star and Moon. They were only content to collect a few talers in tribute each year, leaving the Venetian Republic as a trade competitor.

, this seaport with a population of 10,000 takes one-tenth of Venice's trade volume, and the Venetians have long wanted to destroy it.

"Then I wish you immediate success." Ladislaus cursed that all these Venetians and pirates had better die.

"Thank you for your blessing, but I have two other requests for coming here."

"Two requests, considering the help you gave us today, two requests are not too few." This time it was Frundsberg who spoke.

Consul Goriti, who enjoyed the other party's sarcasm, made his request nonchalantly. "Haha, the first request is that you can help the Republic of Venice deal with these captured pirates. All the pirate prisoners will be yours. I listen.

You say you plan to rebuild the city of Vienna and you must be in great need of laborers."

Some of the captured pirates surrendered to the Venetians, and some rushed to the shore and surrendered to the Austrians. Now Goriti proposes to hand over all of these people to himself?

"I am really touched by your help. I think I should hand over all the captured pirate ships to you so that we can each get what we need?" Ladislaus no longer used any subtlety when it came to substantive issues.

language to avoid any possible misunderstandings.

"I am really touched that you think so, and I praise your piety and wisdom." Gorriti did not expect Ladislaus to go on the road like this. "The second request is that the Republic of Venice is willing to give you another hundred thousand talers.

The actual value of this gift is approximately eighty to twelve thousand talers, depending on the quality of the building materials.

"So how can I repay the goodwill of the Republic of Venice this time?" Ladislaus couldn't see what else he had to trade. Although Archon Goriti described the transaction as non-existent goodwill between each other.

.

"I boldly ask Her Royal Highness to allow us to repair the damaged battleship." It is not only the Ottoman Sultans who want to own the structure of the battleship, the Venetians also have the same desire, although the first overseas sailing ship was built in Venice

The masterpiece of the factory, but now the technology possessed by Seville is the first in Europe.

"Bold." Catharina disregarded diplomatic etiquette and scolded Consul Goriti loudly.

Although Ladislaus immediately stopped her further actions with cold eyes, he also looked at Consul Gritti coldly and said: "I think I must reject your kindness on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess. We have

The ability to repair our own ship."

This problem is not a problem of hundreds of thousands of thalers.

Although Consul Goriti's proposal was not actually about money, his task was to "use Spanish shipbuilding technology as an alliance and economic assistance to the Republic of Venice."

Hundreds of thousands of thalers of building materials are just the beginning, there will be benefits later.

But Ladislaus refused without hesitation. Although he had many conflicts with Emperor Ferdinand, the limit of the warlock royal family's internal struggle was insult and provocation. That line must not be crossed, and he himself could not convince himself.
