Two days later, Hayate and Grando had just finished their meal in the small town and were about to continue their journey to the northeast. Just as they were about to leave the city, they saw several sheriffs posting a reward notice on the notice board, which attracted many people to watch.
.
Originally, there was nothing unusual about this kind of reward notice. If someone committed a crime in the city, the public security station would often post some reward notices in order to quickly catch the criminal. People who were not from this city and passing business travelers rarely went out of their way to go there.
Look at this kind of notice. However, after this notice was posted, it quickly attracted some people to watch and discuss a lot. In this way, people who were preparing to leave the city became curious and gathered around to take a look, and the number of onlookers became more and more popular.
Come more and more.
Grando rode a big rented horse, kicked the pedals of the wind with his feet, raised his chin and said: "It's quite lively, go and have a look."
The two of them jumped off their horses, led their mounts towards the notice board, and squeezed into the crowd. They were startled when they saw the photo of the reward on the notice board. Gruandot said in shock: "Isn't this person..." He quickly collected it.
He stopped and went to read the content of the reward order. After reading it, he and Hayate squeezed out of the crowd and whispered: "It turns out that woman is the royal princess of Adria! So she escaped from those pirates.
of."
Gale frowned deeply in thought. They had been traveling in the past few days and heard a lot about what happened in Adria. The country they were in now was also panicked because of this.
Gruandot felt deeply regretful and said: "She is the princess of Adria, her family just...sigh~!" Gruandot sighed: "It's so pitiful, what happened to such a thing is really tragic.
But those pirates are really powerful. Not only did they kill the royal family of Adria, but they also sent a reward to neighboring countries. How did they do it? They wanted to kill them all. Hey Gale, let's throw her in
Is the hospital a bit..." He only said half a sentence, but his worry was palpable.
In the past two days, Hayate has been uneasy about leaving Hefemi behind, and it felt like a thorn in his heart. This time when he saw the notice of the reward, his uneasy heart suddenly rose again. He stared.
Eyebrow, he used space magic to take out the wedding gift for his sister Qin, put it into Grando's hand, turned over and jumped on the horse.
Gruando held the gift box and said, "Hey, what are you doing? You're not going back to find her, are you? It's not long before Li Qin's wedding."
Gale pulled the horse's rein and said, "Take the gift back, I will rush back as soon as possible." After saying that, he tucked the horse's belly with his legs and ran towards the city gate.
"Hey, hey..." Gruanduo also quickly jumped on the horse and chased after him: "She is your only sister. Do you really want to miss her wedding? How about I go back to find her for you.
"
Gale turned around and said, "I'm afraid it's dangerous, so you can't go. In case I can't make it back during Qin's wedding, give her the gift for me and tell her that I'm sorry." He rode out of the city.
, turned around and flew away in the same direction.
"Alas~!" Gruando glanced at the gift box in his hand and looked up at the direction where the wind was going: "I hope you can come back before the wedding. Without your blessing, Qin will definitely be very sad."
After saying that, he reined in his horse and walked away.
…
On the bank of the tide, with heavy rain pouring, a coastal city was built specifically to prevent pirates. The strong cannons on the solid city walls were facing the pirate warships that were slowly approaching in the sea.
The general who was guarding the city in battle armor held a sword in his hand and stood on the city wall personally to direct the upcoming battle: "Everyone, please take your positions. Wait until the pirates enter the shooting range and follow my orders to fire."
This was a fortified city, and the generals guarding the city were confident that they would not be breached by the pirates' artillery fire until the pirates retreated. At this time, a deputy general ran quickly from one end of the city wall, and he reported to the guard in panic: "General
, a large number of enemies have appeared in the east of the city, and they are coming here under the banner of pirates."
"What!?" The guard was shocked: "How could the pirates come from the land, and how could they get behind us?" This seaside fortress is located at the upper mouth of the bay, with the sea to the west and south, and land to the east and north.
It is the key to protecting the mouth of the bay.
Just as the guard stopped shouting in shock, he saw another officer running towards him and shouted in a panic: "It's not good, General, it's not good, the pirates from the land are about to attack!"
The guard general asked: "How many people have come on land, why do you dare to attack?"
The officer said: "Looking at the number of people, there are probably several thousand people, but..."
"But what? Tell me quickly." The guard asked anxiously and angrily.
The officer said: "But there are more royal troops in front of those pirates, more than ten thousand in number!"
The guard was startled, thinking he heard wrongly, and asked again: "You mean Wang Guojun?"
"Yes, they are the army of our kingdom." the officer said with certainty.
The guard general was greatly eclipsed, and everyone was stunned. He lost his voice and said, "Who can tell me what is going on? How come the kingdom's army is with the pirates?" He managed to calm down. In order to deal with the pirate attack, all the troops were mobilized.
The defenses concentrated on the west, south, east and north sides were extremely empty. If the pirates attacked the city from the land, the coastal fortress would definitely not be safe. He immediately ordered his subordinates to rearrange their troops and said to the personal guard officer beside him: "Go to Tongyi and contact the governor.
, asked him what was going on, how come there were pirates attacking from the land, and why there were still royal troops."
"Yes." The guard officer responded with his head slightly lowered. His eyes met with the deputy general who came to report the news, and a strange color flashed in their eyes at the same time.
Several heralds around him immediately went to notify each team to mobilize troops, and the guards officers also turned around and went behind the guard to leave. At this moment, the deputy general who came to report the news suddenly lowered his sword and quickly drew a short sword from his sleeve.
When it popped out, he grabbed his sword and stabbed it into the gap in the armor on the guard's abdomen.
"what are you doing?!"
The deputy general leaned against the dagger and said: "There is no need to find the governor, because he has been assassinated."
In anger, the guard raised his broad palm and was about to open the man in front of him. Suddenly, another sharp knife pierced his heart from behind, which shocked him. When he turned around, he saw
His personal guard officer was holding the handle of the knife, and blood flowed along the blade and onto the guard's metal gauntlet.
"You...!!" The guard pointed at his personal guard, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.
The guard officer looked at him coldly and said: "I have advised you a long time ago, but you refused to listen. You forced me to do so."
"...You...you actually betrayed me..."
"You are too ignorant of current affairs." The guard officer pulled out his knife, blood spurted out, and then the sword flashed, and the guard's head was cut off by the deputy general who reported the news.
The soldiers around were frightened and stood there in a daze, not daring to move.
The deputy general raised the head of the guard in the air and shouted: "The general is dead, and now the pirates have surrounded this place. Those who want to live put down their weapons and surrender to the pirates. Those who want to die, I will let him die now!"
On the city wall, the officer who was close to the deputy general had already put down his weapons. Then the soldiers under this officer also put down their weapons. Then his officers followed suit. The officers surrendered, and the soldiers followed suit.
Such things happened everywhere in the neighboring countries to the north of Adria, and they spread. Corruption and rebellion, under the power of the 'pirates', had always been frightened by the bandits of the West Sea, and were also influenced by the corrupt policies of the pirates.
Corroded state power has long been vulnerable.
The same thing was also discovered in the neighboring country to the south of Adria. This is a relatively honest country. The monarch of this country is also very wise, but even this cannot stop the invasion of 'pirates'. Integrity and unyielding officials have been
They were assassinated one by one, and the corrupted were taken in one by one. Beric, the Holy Armor, led the army obtained from Adria and invaded this country. At the same time, the warships along the coast were also plundered by 'pirates', and the war was raging.
All the rebels were killed, and all those who surrendered became the vanguard of the next offensive. Under Fried's command, his troops soon grew like a snowball.
"Are these pirates related to the Creation Kingship?" Inaniga watched all this and took in all the scenes here.
