The Mediterranean Sea shrouded in darkness is calm and calm. This is the most peaceful sea in the world. It almost never brings danger to ships passing by. However, humans themselves are unwilling to let go of their own kind.

The wind is filled with the wails of sailors, and hundreds of wounded are undergoing torture. There are very few chaplains or doctors in the fleet. It is already the limit to barely care for the wounded officers. Most of the wounded can only rely on their own life force to survive.

Already.

At this time, Milo Doria was commanding the ships to continue to salvage those who fell into the water. The sea conditions in the Mediterranean were always very calm, and the water temperature would be fatally low even in winter. Therefore, as long as the willpower to survive is not too bad for most sailors, they are basically

Can be scooped up.

Although both Ligurian and Spanish drowning victims could be salvaged, even Ligurian's own wounded could not receive much treatment, and the Spanish had no hope.

However, even prisoners, once they climbed onto the ship, just like the Ligurian sailors, they could immediately get a bowl of warm water. This was the rule set by Admiral Andre Doria.

Perhaps these prisoners had to be slaves in the hold for several months or even longer before prisoners were exchanged or ransoms were paid, but at least for this moment chivalry did exist in the war.

Of course, chivalry is only within us humans. Those orc slaves who were paddled from Spanish ships were immediately thrown into the bottom of the ship to continue their slave life.

Outside of Europa, these orcs are enslaved by the drow in the Black Continent, by the colonists in the New World, and by the Ming Empire in the East. Except for the Ming Dynasty, which has the dream of "enlightenment and enlightenment", no one thinks that they should be given

What sympathy and opportunity.

This was the first time Milo-Doria commanded a fleet in battle. Although he lost a battleship, he sank an enemy ship, controlled the battlefield and rescued an allied merchant ship. There is no doubt that this was a qualified performance.

.

During this operation of the Doria family to secretly communicate with France, Milo led the sailors to arrive at the city gate in time and held on until the main force of the French army arrived, making great contributions to the Doria family's leap.

However, Milo did not greatly consolidate his position within the Doria family because his younger brother, Benso-Doria, instigated the original Archbishop of Liguria this time. The archbishop's betrayal gave the Sibo family a fatal blow.

hit.

The Duke of Bourbon, the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of France in Italy, praised Benso's action as "the key to the entire plan, Liguria's first success in winning the city", and was given the position of commander of the Ligurian city defense army.

Although the Republic of Liguria is a maritime country, and its naval military expenditure is more than ten times that of the city defense army with less than a thousand people, the army has always been better in internal conflicts. After all, warships cannot enter the city, so Milo Dolly

It can be said that Ya has been very troubled recently.

He has always been developing in the navy, which is also the basis of the Doria family. It is not bad to get the position of squadron commander this time.

But before going to sea, Benso-Doria took advantage of the commander of the city defense army to come out to check the "inverse production" and coerce the rich. He really made a huge profit. Money is the source of strength. It is just a sign now. Maybe

A few months later, Bensuo had his own wings and minions.

Moreover, Benso is now helping the French to raise "military aid to France" from major banks in Liguria, using interest-free loans mortgaged by the Sibo family's large real estate, making the Duke of Bourbon very satisfied.

Having successfully established a relationship with the French, the Doria family is now completely tied to the French chariot. Even Admiral Andre Doria cannot directly suppress them.

Therefore, Milo-Doria has been under a lot of pressure since he went to sea, full of fighting spirit, and is determined to rely on his great performance to re-establish his natural position within the Doria family.

In any case, he won this time, and his father would be satisfied with the sailor's ransom and the gratitude of the French merchant ship.

And that Ladislaus has now fled to a foreign country. Fortunately, he escaped. Milo was secretly glad.

Ladislaus has always secretly supported Benso. With the help of this powerful warlock, Benso's city defense army will immediately reach a higher level. This combination will give even Marshal Andre Doria a bit of a headache.

.

I hope this little cousin can have a different future. Milo no longer cares about the conflicts in the past. He is just glad that Ladislaus no longer hinders his career.

At this time, the second mate sent out to contact the captain of the merchant ship returned.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the French captain asked to meet with you. Of course I know this is impossible, but he said that you will consider his words after reading this."

A dark scroll was held in the hands of the second officer. There were bright red writing on it, which seemed to be written in blood. The red color on the black background was very difficult to identify, but if you look carefully, you can still see clearly the following sentence: "

May the Doria family prosper, l”

With these words and the "Black Wail" scroll, Milo certainly knew who the so-called French captain was.

But how could Ladislaus be on that French ship?

Because of the advice of the flagship captain and commander not to leave the combat position, Milo Doria still did not take the boat to see Ladislaus. When Ladislaus and his party boarded Milo's ship,

Milo only stood on the front deck with the captain, and everyone else was asked to clear the place.

"Haha, cousin, you are very courageous. Within five steps, a person can be an enemy of a country. Aren't you afraid that I will burst into rebellion?" Ladislaus looked at the clean deck with a little surprise.

"You're not afraid that my people will swarm up and dare to come see me, but I'm afraid that you'll burst into revolt? If I didn't want to have a witness in front of my father, I wouldn't even bring Mr. Captain with me."

Both Milo and Ladislaus were naturally relaxed and showed no signs of nervousness.

On the other hand, the captain and Sirica boss were extremely nervous.

Although Ladislaus has repeatedly assured Sirica and John that the Doria family's investment in him and his father for so many years is to maintain a line of contact with the Warlock Royal Family and will never embarrass them, they are still worried.

Everyone else drove away. This captain must be absolutely reliable and very loyal to the Doria family, so Milo was chosen as a witness. Of course, the captain also knew Ladislaus. Now Milo is the leader of the naval faction.

Safety is just a few steps away.

In a tense atmosphere, the two leaders continued to talk calmly.

"Anna didn't come? I heard before going to sea that she is with you now."

Ladislaus avoided meeting his enemies in the name of needing someone to protect Machiavelli.

"I'm afraid she will be too excited, but this time my uncle did a really good job. I also want to thank you for instigating the rebellion of the original Archbishop of the Dark Sun. Now I have become the Archbishop of Liguria." Ladislaus said as he said

while waving his hand to show off his purple ring.

Milo's slightly surprised look confirmed that he did not know that Ladislaus had quickly gained such a position. The little information that Ladislaus released gave him the upper hand in the negotiations.
