“The ‘Walnut’, ‘Gartill Burton’ lost contact.”
"The Gzelijas were also speechless. Someone found a battle broke out in the northeast of Gzelija at 3 am. The clockwork fairy also found traces of the battle at the scene, and a winged sailboat stranded on a nearby floating island."
"Governor General, there is no news about the 'Triumph'."
Someone rushed into the captain's room, and the news brought by him made everyone in the room quiet. But in just a moment, the surging noise filled the room again. Someone whispered, whispered, and even subconsciously confirmed, and his anxious tone revolved on the gilded instrument of the willow wooden table.
"The Triumph is the Triumph of the Third Fleet? I remember correctly that wasn't a fourth-class battleship?"
People became angry, blamed each other and shirked responsibility: "Didn't our opponent be just a brisk sailboat with almost no weapons on the ship?"
"The unarmed adventure ship defeated several advance fleets, nearly twenty ships, Ouli was on it. Who was liaring about the intelligence?"
"It's not their fault, but I heard that the opponent is the Dragon Alchemist..."
"Shut up, that's just a young boy who has just participated in the Mainland League!"
The elderly governor was a native of Brianos.
The wrinkles on the face were as deep as the years left behind, but they were still quick-minded and cherished their lives. The empire actually didn't care much about these remote colonies, and the old ships that were eliminated were enough to arm these places - but that was the empire's property, not theirs.
The local fleet in Brianos has more than 30 ships, but most of them are civilian ships that cannot be driven out of the port, and some transport ships are supported. One of the ones that can be used is seven wing sailboats, two light sailboats and a fifth-class patrol ship.
This patrol ship is the facade of the port fleet, and the flagship they are located in - the "Horn Rod" USS.
The old man raised his hand and calmed everyone down, and asked, "Don't be impatient, where is the enemy?"
"I don't know, sir, they lost their traces in the north of Gzelia... There is a reef that is not marked on the map nearby, called Anchor Chain Island. The observation points on the island finally observed the whereabouts of the other party..."
"Will he come to us?"
"Sir, it's unlikely that they should go north."
The old man felt relieved. "That's good. The empire has set up many encirclements and will never let the other party escape. But you can't relax your guard. Go back to your own ship and prepare for the battle just in case, for the empire."
Everyone responded: "Ouli is above."
The potential anxiety was gone, and a small meeting ended, and people left alone.
...
Catherine stared at the sky sea, her green eyes were stained with fire - the morning light was magnificent and changeable in the sea sea, allowing the sea breeze to pick her hair, every trace, like a spark - as if the sky was her destination, just like a seabird crossing the calm sea surface, leaving only a shallow shadow.
Ambitious and confident, everything she sees should belong to her. This woman was born to be the master of this sea. She wanted everything, so she seemed rebellious and ostentatious.
She turned around and looked at Fang Ling and said, "Actually, there is another thing I have to ask you. I didn't have time to say it before. It was your people who asked me to pass on a word to you."
Fang Yu also looked up at her.
"The people from Xingmen Port ask you not to go to the Giant Tree Hill."
"Why?"
"Because the woods there are sick, a strange epidemic is spreading, it will not affect people, but it will cause the forest to die and wild animals to escape. Bad rumors are everywhere. Sanshak can maintain order, but it is hard to say between the suburbs-"
Fang Zhu suddenly remembered that there was a legend that a god was resurrected from the shadows. Aimeya's twins reappeared in the world again in hundreds of years. People will witness the shadows in the forest, the deaths of life and death, the dead branches of the white trees, and the occurrence of a series of disasters.
That's why Aitela and the Big Cat Man were welcomed back. She was the saint of the White Tree Temple. Darier and others came to the empire to bring back the saint who left the hill of the giant tree and looked for the whereabouts of their younger brother.
"It's serious?" he asked.
"It's not serious, but it's a lie to say that it's an understatement. I was born on Silver Chain Island, where the forests began to wither in a small area very early, and now the condition has only worsened. The tree elves have begun to feel the crisis. Most of the upper classes of Sangshak are elves - people say that the sea of ​​trees is the shadow of a lady, but now it's like a wisp of grayish white breeding on her long jade hair. Although not much, it's enough to make people feel uneasy."
"Why didn't Xingmen Port let me go there?"
"It has something to do with your cheap sister," Catherine said in a gentle voice: "There are factional struggles in the White Tree Temple. She has left the core of power for a long time because of her brother's affairs, just like the human world... The world of elf is also very complicated. Some people hope to defeat the faction she belongs to, while others hope to let her take the blame. Of course, she may also have her own ideas, but I don't know this."
"The Giant Tree Hill is such a country where elves, goblins and humans rule the continent on this tree, but the goblins are not interested in power, they only follow their own preferences and live in a corner of Rothal; the elves are actually the upper class of this country, some of them live in the Saint White Forest, the elves, which are royal families, parliaments and elders, but more live in Sanshak, mixed with humans, nobles and consuls, and in addition, they are Paparals who are ethnic minorities."
"But humans follow the lead of elves, and elves do not care about ordinary things. The Paparals are insignificant, so the elves actually determine the hill of giant trees - and they are also the stay and do not know the "second division" you are familiar with. Your cheap sister is actually involved in a political dispute at the upper level. Your people probably don't want to express their opinions in this dispute, so they don't want you to be involved in the "internal affairs" of the elves."
Fang Yu looked over quietly and looked at the other party: "But Ms. Catherine doesn't seem to think so."
He was no longer the young boy who knew nothing. Although the affairs of Aitela and the Big Cat Man made him feel a little uneasy, and this uneasiness made him more eager to go to the hill of the giant tree - but he soon realized that this was exactly the woman's intention.
She was intentionally guiding him to make this decision.
"Because I am only responsible for passing the message, the decision is in your hands, and your people are only responsible for reminding you, and they do not have the right to order you, right?" Catherine did not deny it, "and this is good for me."
Fang Rong looked at her with some surprise: "The benefits?"
"That's why I'm here," said Catherine. "It shouldn't be difficult to guess that in order to control Cape Saint Huúan, I must be the opponent of the Blood Shark Pirates. I fought with the old guy Baroshan more than once. This time he bribed the people around me and learned in advance that I would go here, so he chose to set up an ambush in Galshuel and attacked my fleet."
"In the fight, I lost my ship and two other ships, but I didn't make him happy either. I managed to sneak into his ship and left him a little 'surprise'. Later, his ship sank at night, and I heard that his men did not find him."
"There are temples of resurrection on the large sailboat, which means that this old thing did not die in the Kamihara, so I am sure he might have drifted to a nearby island, the nearest inhabited island is Guimana, and the movements of the Imperial Navy also tell the whole story."
Fang Yuming only realized that so many things were happening between this: "So you came to us and led us to Guimana?"
"Of course, I don't have much power in my hands, and after this battle, I was severely damaged. I am not from Kaurin. I joined the Ishurien Navy because someone likes my value, my origin, and my appeal among the pirates of Saint Hurien."
"But this appeal is actually not much left after my father, so I have to be careful and make good use of every bit of strength and every help around me."
Catherine looked at the cabin of the Qihai Traveler, and the arrogant legendary pirate king was imprisoned below and was still unconscious. "And I am not completely deceiving you. I do know some friends on land, and it is also the most suitable place for you to complete your commission in Guimana."
Fang Yu kept silent. The facts were more convincing than any explanation. The deal was indeed perfect. Although they had caused some trouble, it was hard to say that these troubles were related to the other party.
“So what is your purpose?”
"Are you going to Saint Hugh'an?" Catherine smiled and asked, "Do you know what kind of place it is?"
Fang Yu suddenly stopped nodding and wanted to hear what the female pirate thought about there.
A trace of unpredictable smile swam into Catherine's eyes, as if it was sarcastic, silent, cold, and ambitious, as if the booming flames were fleeting, and had burned everything, but only the dark background was left.
Like a heavy green.
Finally, there was a meaningful glance: "Just as people said, there is a lawless place, there are not many rules in the free port, the strong prey on the weak, the 'king' has everything, but there is more than one 'king' for the pirates. Rodrigo is the recognized overlord above the sea. After his death, the Blood Shark Pirates rose, and Balosha was the best among them. The rest coveted that position, and no one obeyed each other - they plotted against each other and attacked each other, which created that chaotic place."
"It is probably not that easy for you to go there to find a place where you can entrust shipbuilding. It is a place of freedom, but it is also respected by strength. You are an outsider. No one will agree with you. You have a good ship, but that is the danger."
Fang Yu was silent for a moment and realized what the other party was saying.
"What advice does Ms. Katherine have?"
"I can help you. I have my own shipyard, dock, someone's hand, and craftsmen, but you have to do me a favor. The private pirates are not as simple as you think. It's not a navy. I rely on my own trusted men to control them. But now I'm very weak, and some people want to replace them."
"Do you want us to help you shock your men?"
"And my competitors," Katherine smiled, "Now I have taken Barosa, and risks and opportunities coexist. If I can build prestige and deter everyone, I can become the new pirate king of Saint Hugh's."
"Remember what I said, "King" has everything, make rules, and you will have a strong backing there. Don't you want to have a solid backing? I heard that Loofah and her fleet are not rootless."
Fang Yu looked at her deeply: "Do you think we have this ability to compare with that world-renowned sword?"
"So that's exactly what I'm looking at," Catherine didn't shy away. "I'll certainly choose my partner carefully, but at least I've been very satisfied with your performance so far. Why do you guys find me?"
"Why?"
"The next pirate king of Saint Hugh's must have a close connection with Kaurin-Ishurien, which is why your people are interested in me, but who can represent Kaurin-Ishurien, it seems that some people have lost patience with their collaborators."
"And I, of course, wouldn't be tied to a sunken ship, so I came."
Fang Yu was silent.
In other words, whether it is the military or the female pirate, they no longer favored the King of Kaolin, and his gangsters who were in charge of his prime minister. She came here rather than giving Xingmen Port a favor, but rather giving a letter of fame.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although I don’t know how Princess Brian did at Kaurin-Ishurien, it seems that it is progressing well. He can completely smell the vigorous ambitions of the female pirate leader. People like this will not change their decisions for a illusory belief.
She was obviously not optimistic about the future of the Kaolin royal family.
He didn't expect this conversation to go deeper. No wonder the other party would speak to him until he was the only one left.
He could hear Katherine's frankness, and obviously this time, the female pirate didn't hide anything from him anymore, "So why are you urging us to the hill of the giant tree?"
"Remember what I said, I was from Silver Chain Island, so I am actually from the Hill of the Giant Trees. I have some friends there. Balosha's plan was very successful. I suffered a lot of losses in this fight. I had to endure it before gathering my strength again."
"I will not go directly to Saint Hu'an with great fanfare. Of course I will guide you, but it is not safe to stay there. Before we have enough power, it is the best choice to go to the hill of giant trees. Until then, I hope you protect me-"
"Ms. Catherine, do you have a shipyard in Cape St. Hughon?"
"As the privateer fleet belonging to the Royal Kaurin family, you should know that this is nothing."
"But can you still control those assets?"
"The privateer fleet does not have only one anchorage in Saint Hugh'an. I know a secret place to take you there. Of course, I can't trust anyone now, so sailors, boatmen, and alchemists may need other solutions."
Fang Rong was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his heart. He found that he was thinking too simple to go to Shengxiu'an. The reason why he had the idea of ​​renovating - or rebuilding a Qihai Traveler was actually more from Miya.
The Seven Seas Brigade has actually recognized the joining of the Miss Sea Witch, but this is too extraordinary. Now all countries should know that she is with them, on the Seven Seas Brigade.
But her identity is too special. Even though the domestic officials have never agreed to that proposal - in fact, her identity as the Witch of the Sea is something that everyone has witnessed, and is wanted for various countries, major competition areas and a number of top guilds.
The Seven Seas Traveler made a big splash in Aiyin Block. Now the whole world knows that there is such a new Dragon Knight battleship. I am afraid that once they arrive at the Giant Tree Hill, the Twelve Colored Iris, FNC, and the Golden Night Blade will come to you.
But if there is another place in this world that is independent of the countries, the alliance and the guild forces, besides Rothar, where the goblins are located, there are only Cape Saint Huoan, the freed heaven, and the land beyond the law.
This is a paradise for pirates. There are shipyards in the Freeport. As long as they can find one of them who is willing to accept their commission and renovate the Qihai Traveler, they can hide their eyes and go to the Giant Tree Hill.
Even if their identity is revealed in the end, they might have left and gone to the Second World by then.
However, now it seems that the situation is not as he thought.
"Think about it?"
Catherine shook her head, "But there is no need to rush to answer. I hope you are my partner, but I am not going to tie you to my boat. I will not use this to threaten and tempt it. Besides, there is at least one thing I did not lie. You saved me and I owe you all my lives."
"But I just hope to remind you that going to Saint Huoan is not that simple. The pirates are unruly. This trip may be far more dangerous than you imagined. If you can't show this courage, I suggest you go directly to Rotao."
"——At least there is a stable place. It is not impossible to find a suitable shipyard in the Miluo Palace. I also have some ways to introduce some friends to you, just treat it as a favor to you."
She suddenly stopped talking.
He turned around and looked at Miss Nightingale standing pretty at the entrance of the cabin, looking at the two of them.
The expression on her face seemed to have not heard the conversation between Katherine and Fang Zhu, and she just walked over and said, "Ed, there is something new."
Fang Yu came back to his senses from this conversation. Catherine provided him with too much information for a moment, from Saint Hugh'an to the Hill of the Giant Trees, the safety of the Free Pirates, and even Miss Aitela and Mr. Big Catman.
But that answer is self-evident. The Qihai Traveler will not give up any crew member-Miss Elf is just temporarily disembarking, and he never agreed to leave the team. Besides, Miss Aitela regards him as her younger brother.
In his heart, he naturally recognized this elf ‘sister’.
“What’s the situation?”
"A large source of energy has been detected on the wind element detector, which should be the second-class battleship "San Jose". It is northwest of us and should be no more than twenty miles away."
"The wind element detectors on the 'San Jose' will only be bigger and more advanced than ours. We discovered them, and the Imperials have naturally discovered us, and from their trajectory, they are coming straight to us."
Alisa said with a somewhat ugly face: "From the relative speed, we should have to reach the turbulence zone first, but there is another problem here."
Fang Yu looked at her unexpectedly.
Miss Nightingale then said:
"The wind element detector also found a large number of reaction sources in front of us. The Imperials did not let go of this channel. They arranged a fleet in front of us. After Miss Silvede's analysis, it should be the local fleet in Brianos."
"How many?" Fang Yu asked.
“More than ten ships.”
With a brief silence, it is almost impossible for Qihai Traveler to break through the encirclement network with its current state.
Fang Zhu looked at the unknown islands and reefs floating in the sky in the distance and pondered for a moment.
Catherine looked at him silently, and now it was still time to turn to the route to leave Saint Hugh'an. They might be able to find a safer road—at least temporarily safe—or break through the reefs, and there was naturally a free road ahead.
But there was a last level on that road.
Fang Ling looked at her: "Rotao's continental bridge was cut off twenty years ago, and now no one can go to the Second World from there."
"so?"
"Our goal is Saint Hugh'an, the hill of giant trees, and then through the door of the sky," replied Fang Zhu. "This has not changed from the beginning, so you bet right, Ms. Catherine."
Katherine smiled.
"But the Empire is not easy to deal with."
"Luckily, it's just not easy to deal with, not impossible to deal with."
