Chapter 345 The Pirate Ship Sets Sail

"Hey." Standing in front of the floor-length mirror, George fastened the last few buckles of the 'George Power' and looked at the 'Charlie I' next to him with a look of resentment.

"Yes, I still think you are more pleasing to the eye in this way." Charlie looked at George in front of him and said in a teasing tone.

"Charlie, aren't you afraid that the treasures in the palace will be taken away by the surrounding lords after they are sent to the southern territories first?" George curled his lips and patted his breastplate: "It is very safe to put it in the valley. Ah - absolutely no one dares to touch it. "

"hehe"

"If you take away all the gold, silver and jewelry, it will be enough for you to open up wasteland in the future."

"George, if I tell the sergeants to send all the refugees to Violet Castle, then it will be nothing. After all, when Blue Water City was besieged for the first time, there was such a precedent - in order to prevent plague and corruption, Some civilians went to various Acropolis, and most of them went to Violet Castle." Charlie shook his head: "But if I send all the delicate things in the palace to the valley, there will be no need to fight those Eldas. Everyone is watching.”

As Charlie said, nominally, those refugees will go to the 'Purple Castle' under the leadership of the nobles. It is in the Violet Plain, only a few hundred kilometers away from Bishui City. It is a granary and there are many pastures.

Violet once belonged to Phillips, but now according to the right of inheritance, it naturally belongs to the current 'Queen'.

The Blue Water Fortress is about to face a war, and it is extremely reasonable to move the residents in the city to Violet - after all, even if the city is not destroyed, the residents cannot be exposed to the chaos of war. Moreover, many of them are originally from the South.

Indeed, these refugees in the city will indeed go there, because there is a lot of food stored there, as well as many horses and vehicles - it is a transit warehouse for overland logistics from south to north.

But in fact, Violet is just the first stop for refugees.

After arriving there, 'Prince Adeline', 'Her Majesty the Queen', 'Hand of the King' Fernando and a few nobles who know the inside will lead the residents to continue south.

Fernando has already set off with some knights. At their speed, they will arrive several days ahead of the refugees. After arriving, they will take charge of the work there and arrange the transfer of the refugees.

Nominally, those refugees were going to various areas of Violet under the leadership of the nobles - the fall of the East made it meaningless to concentrate the population in Blue Water City. Violet needs many people to clear the land and work next year.

But in fact, these people went further south. After the refugees left the territory of Rodunk, fighting began in Bishui City. Even if someone from the Southern Kingdom sent the news back to Blue Water City at that time, the dark enemy troops outside Blue Water City would make it extremely reasonable for the refugees not to stay in Violet.

Fernando will stay in Violet until the end, paving the way for the subsequent retreat of the army. The large number of horses there will be arranged near the south bank when the Bishui City defenders begin to retreat.

"George, you have to know that the remaining things in the treasury are very hot." After saying this, Charlie's mouth curved: "Many of the good things in the palace have been sold off, and the remaining things in the treasury are very hot." If the things are not snatched away by the lords in the south, how can I repay my debt to the 'Mithril Treasury'? Haha, there happens to be a war in several small countries near the new territory. I chose this place specially."

Hearing this, George opened his mouth slightly. I found that this guy was just like his father, simple and honest on the outside, but full of bad things inside.

Luo Dunke now owed millions of gold lions, and once Bishui City was destroyed, he would be completely bankrupt. Although the various chambers of commerce can no longer ask for this money from the poor king of Rodunk, they will never lend him any more money.

Not only that, the part of the treasury that is transported to the valley will also be demanded by various chambers of commerce - these guys really can't get anything back from the bandit leaders, but in the same way, George will also be blacklisted.

But if the national treasury is eventually robbed by some countries in the south, then not only will Charles's army going south have a reason to annex and open up wasteland, but the big chambers of commerce will also give their full support.

However, those small countries and small lords who have no backers are better off. Those who have backers. After the war, the countries and the Holy See will mediate and let Charles return part of the land. The reason why the safe zones in the south are The constant fighting is the result of these idiots mediating for their own benefit. Otherwise, a new country would have emerged long ago. Those countries will no longer fight because they have been annexed.

——Of course, these guys may not all be idiots. Those lurkers are never willing to see a truce in those places.

Therefore, there needs to be a suitable reason for most people to side with Charlie.

How much money is in the treasury is all accounted for by Fernando. Those warring lords and small countries may have actually only robbed hundreds of thousands of golden lions, but their accounts showed millions. When the time comes, after Charlie has defeated the warring lords and small countries, he suddenly 'discovers' that the robbers have 'transferred' the money, and then all the castles, land, population, etc. will naturally be used to repay Charlie's debts. .

Taking this opportunity, Charles will carry out a perfect integration of the melee fighters in the south, and the Holy See, which would have been the mediator, has no reason to let him return the land and money. At that time, as long as Charlie distributes the benefits with the surrounding big countries, chambers of commerce, etc., he can reasonably be a robber!

The appearance of this bandit will completely stop a part of the originally war-torn area in the south. Under Charlie's command, it will become the land of Rodenk, twisting into a rope to fight against the black tide in the north.

After the two bandit leaders chatted here, George couldn't help but give this guy a thumbs up: "Consider this money as my investment in you! Set up your chassis, and I can go to the Forbidden Sanctuary in the future. I need to borrow a way!"

Brenda said that he was very familiar with the area that Charlie had chosen because he had been a pirate there.

After packing up, Roosegaarde beside Volpe was also busy. But this time, Roosegaarde did not change Volp's face directly. Instead, after doing the preliminary work, he left him a bottle of potion.

According to Roosegaarde, the function of this potion is to 'unlock' it. After taking it, Volp will look like George.

Neither Volpe nor George changed their faces. According to Charlie's arrangement, George would go out of the city as his own identity. And Volp will stay in the city in his own appearance for a long time, until the critical moment when Bishui City is about to evacuate, he will spread his wings with the two hundred 'Temple Knights' who have not gone out to fight, and appear there most conspicuously place.

Therefore, after a period of time, the lords and demons will see that the ‘Knight of Divine Grace’ who had already left suddenly appears in Bishui City

This looks like it must be a big plan

In Charlie's design, this is indeed a big plan.

But the sudden appearance of the Divine Grace Knight was not to give the devil a painful blow. Instead, it ignited a ‘fire of divine grace’ in the hearts of the army and the demons.

When the Knights of Divine Grace suddenly appeared at that most critical moment, the originally desperate army must have had a high morale in the fantasy of the 'Knights of the Temple' coming to support them. The devils' speculation and hesitation will also provide more opportunities for the retreat of the final troops of Bishui City.

"George" Before leaving, Charlie said with some complicated eyes: "Sofia, including the people in the city, thought that she, like her mother, would go to the south. So the people in the city, including herself, thought that she and the maid, And her knights are just taking your ship to the south coast."

"Let me tell you that after you lead the troops to eliminate the disaster in Windsong City, you will soon return to Clear Water City to provide support - and you will also lead the Temple Knights in the Valley."

"You're so panicked, you really made it right." George looked at Charlie and nodded slowly. Judging from this news, the sudden appearance of the 'Knight of Divine Grace' in the city was indeed unexpected and within everyone's expectations.

And these people defending in the city will always have a hope in their hearts - they know that reinforcements will come back at any time.

"Where is she?"

"After the coronation ceremony, she went to the boudoir to pack her bags." The brother-in-law touched his chin and said, "My sister does have a lot of dowry."

George finally kidnapped a group of people - in addition to Sophia, there were also many of her friends - those noble ladies were really just taking the boat along.

In the evening, when the 'Brenda' passed through the fog in the river and docked near the pier of Brenda's manor, Sophia and her knights looked at the hazy manor and couldn't help but stood still for a long time.

"The location is a little off," she muttered in a low voice, but she didn't dare to talk to the bandit leader who always looked fierce.

Looking at the dock getting closer and closer, she twisted her long skirt and thought about how to say goodbye appropriately.

Speaking of which, I haven't said a few words to him in total.

Moreover, I wore a formal long dress today to say goodbye and see me off. Now I look absolutely stupid, because this place is more than ten kilometers away from the port on the other side of Bishui City!

According to rumors, there are many scary things moving around here.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the two dozen or so thin knights around her. These guys looked at their master, and their faces turned a little pale.

Sofia couldn't help but look at Aunt Tanya and Lorna as if asking for help, but these two guys showed weird smiles.

I don’t feel sad at all that my best friend has passed away.

In the end, she did not propose to return and send her some distance, and the ship had already anchored at the shore.

There was another crashing sound, and a dozen large ships around them also docked nearby. Being in line with the ship is like welcoming someone off the ship.

Time passed too quickly, and he didn't say a few words of those very embarrassing farewells on the way. At this time, he stood next to him and looked around at the shore, as if he was very anxious to get off the boat so that he could quickly get on the road and rush to the battlefield. look.

I took this ship to say goodbye and see me off today. It really seemed a little inappropriate. Not only did I look a little stupid, but I also looked very ignorant.

Seeing his impatient look, Sofia finally stumbled out two very official words. After lifting up her skirt as a salute, she walked towards the side of the ship.

Then she froze there.

This ship didn't seem to be docked at the dock at all - I couldn't see it clearly in the fog just now. It was too small and couldn't dock this big ship at a high enough height.

"Miss" A noble knight looked at the group of things crawling out from the depths of the fog with a sullen face, and trembled as he reached for the long sword at his waist.

Sophia followed his gaze and was frightened and pale.

She had never seen such a big spider!

Those hideous behemoths, each as big as a small house, densely packed with hundreds of them! What's even more terrifying is that the skulls of these big spiders seem to have been knocked off, and the brains inside have been eaten, replaced by an ugly parasite the size of an arm!

The parasite looks like an echinoderm, and part of its body has pierced into the host's spine, as if it is controlling their bodies in this way.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh

With a sound of breaking through the air, several huge spider silks passed through the fog and stuck to the side of each large ship. The impact caused by the jet made the hull shake slightly.

"Hold steady! Don't run into it and run aground!" George raised his naval command knife and shouted loudly, and then the crews on each ship started to move.

The sailors pushed the heavy objects to the side of the ship on the other side to prevent the hull from tilting.

While the crew was busy, Sophia looked at the "Templar Knights" dully, who seemed to have no intention of fighting. After being kicked in the ass by the sergeants, they also stood lazily on the side of the ship at the other end. While thinking about whether to eat stewed meat or grilled fish tonight, I watched those heavy guys climb up.

What's even more bizarre is that after these big guys came up, they honestly crossed their legs and stayed on the deck. They were too big to enter the cabin. The claws are too strong and sharp, and it is easy to pierce the bottom of the boat if they stay at the bottom of the boat.

However, there are no strong winds and waves in this river, and the magic spiders can hold on to the deck tightly. Even if the boat is moving very fast, they will not fall off.

There are more than 20 big magic spiders on each large ship. Basically, all the magic spiders that cannot be controlled by the brain spider and the spider queen but cannot be collected are here.

Seeing this, Sophia can already guess that these ships stop here to welcome these big things

"Hehe, Sophia, don't be afraid." A big hand patted her shoulder and pulled her to the middle of the deck: "These things, um, are all magic puppets made by forbidden wizards, and they don't eat people."

Although this is like a lie, although they don't get along much, Sophia feels that with George's identity as a knight of divine grace, and the gentlemanly demeanor and personality he has always shown in the Blue Water City. He should be a knight who never lies and has high moral character.

Therefore, Sophia nodded woodenly.

After a moment, she looked at the half-eaten, hideous-looking "food" in the hands of the big guys who came aboard later, and believed that she must not have woken up yet.
