Chapter 339

In order to deal with the pirates entrenched in Westport, Jingyao and its surrounding areas were urgently mobilized. The joyful atmosphere originally prepared to welcome Holy Advent was washed away. The people scolded the damn pirates who appeared out of nowhere. .

A team of nearly 3,000 people was organized, led by Harrison Abbott, the eldest son of the Abbott family, and prepared to march west to annihilate the pirates.

Those families whose children served in Sihanoukville united to write to the Royal Government, urging His Majesty the King not to rush to start a war after sending troops to Sihanoukville, because the lives of their relatives were still uncertain, and they might still be tortured at the hands of pirates. Of course, they were not opposed to sending troops to conquer the pirates, but they just asked the king to talk to the pirates about ransoming their prisoners first, and then wait until they ransomed their living relatives according to the ancient tradition before starting the fight. Pirates, don't they just want money? .

In order to appease these people's emotions, King Rodney agreed to their request.

Early in the morning before the army was scheduled to depart, Jingyao's guards opened the city gate sleepily, preparing to welcome the new day. Suddenly, they saw a skinny horse carrying a man galloping towards the city gate from a distance. The guards felt something was wrong, so they immediately raised their spears and stopped the man, preparing to interrogate him.

"Let me pass!" The visitor was panting and a little lost.

"I am Viscount Willing Dillon, His Majesty the King...His Majesty the King's affairs officer stationed in Westport. I...I have important things to report to His Majesty the King.",

He was unshaven and smelled like he hadn't showered in a month.

"Viscount Dylan?"

The guards were confused. They knew that Jingyao's Dylan family was quite a noble family, but the image of the man in front of them was really hard to compliment. As for Westport, wasn’t it occupied by pirates? Where did the affairs officer come from?

The guards insisted on handcuffing Willing Dillon first. As a nobleman, Dillon couldn't bear the humiliation and resisted violently. After experiencing a few unbearable days, he became emotional and cursed at the city gate guards.

Just when the angry city gate guards took out their weapons and prepared to use force, their commander noticed the noise outside the city gate and came to check. The captain, who was also a noble, recognized Viscount Dylan and rescued him.

"Take me to see His Majesty the King quickly. Magic! Oh my god, they know magic!" Willin Dillon grabbed the sleeve of the city guard captain and requested impatiently.

The captain automatically filtered out the incomprehensible part of Dylan's words and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Willing, relax, I will find a good horse to take you to the palace. But you can't go to see His Majesty like this, okay? Take a shower and change your clothes before going."

Half an hour later, after hurriedly taking a shower, Dylan got on a group of horses that had just been prepared, whipped the horses' butts, and rode away.

"Are you sure you don't want to go home first?" the city guard captain shouted behind him.

"It's too late!"

After galloping all the way to the kingdom, Viscount Dylan quickly received permission to see the king. He was led by the palace attendants to the king's chamber.

Rodney XVII, Earl Rupert, Earl Merlin and other ministers were already sitting inside. When he learned that a steward who had rushed back from Westport requested an interview with the king, Rodney, who was eager to know the situation there, immediately agreed. They stopped what they were discussing and waited for Dylan's arrival together.

"His Majesty!"

Dylan was a little nervous and saluted Rodney. As a low-ranking official, he met with the king only a handful of times.

"No need to be polite, come here and bring a seat for the Viscount."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Dylan thanked him hurriedly.

"Mr. Dylan, how did you escape? What is the current situation in Westport?"

Dylan was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, I... I was actually released by the pirates. They asked me to bring a letter back. A sufficient ransom must be paid before the prisoners with noble status will be released."

Then he took out a piece of paper, and it clearly stated how much the children of that family were worth. This kind of thing was not unexpected. After all, they were pirates, so let those families have the headache.

What everyone is most concerned about is the strength of the pirates, and Dylan is asked to explain clearly the situation on the day of the fall.

Dylan had a look of fear on his face.

"I am so anxious to meet with Your Majesty just to explain what I saw that night. The following language may be a bit confusing, so please forgive me for Your Majesty and Your Excellencies."

"Let me tell you my personal opinion first. We are not facing ordinary pirates. We must be fully prepared to fight them."

His words were a bit confusing, which made everyone frown.

"On the night of the pirate invasion, because the front line was in a hurry, I led the affairs officers and some city guards to direct the transportation of materials in the warehouse area overnight. After discovering that something happened in the direction of the port and finding out that it was a pirate invasion, we immediately went to the warehouse area Prepare to defend."

"But a mysterious figure suddenly appeared in front of us..."

At this point, Dylan's pupils dilated a little.

"He...father in heaven...he is actually the legendary wizard!"

"Wizard?" Rodney and the ministers were very surprised. Thinking of the granary fire case and the naval assassination case discussed a few days ago, someone is now exposed to the mystery?

"Yes, Your Majesty, gentlemen, I dare to swear to the Lord of Light that I have never lied, and I have never been wrong!"

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

"When he appeared, Captain Mark shot him with an arrow. It hit his chest, but the arrow went through his body, just like it hit a phantom."

Hearing Dylan's description, everyone's faces became more solemn.

"... The pirates surrounded us, and we rejected their unreasonable demands. Suddenly, a fireball appeared where the guards were gathered..."

"This..." Everyone looked at each other, and Earl Merlin asked: "You didn't see it wrong, maybe there was a torch there?"

"No!" A slightly inappropriate denial came out of Dylan's mouth. He covered his head with both hands and said in horror: "I definitely didn't see it wrong. It just appeared so suddenly, just appeared out of thin air. I think I didn't see it wrong... I definitely didn't see it wrong..."

Dylan's last words seemed to be a mumbling to himself. Everyone looked at him with some sympathy. This young noble seemed to have suffered a great mental shock.

"Then it got bigger and bigger...bigger and bigger...and then, with a bang...it exploded!"

"Because they were too close together, most of the soldiers fell on the spot, and even I, who was standing far away, was affected!"

"At that time, one side of my body was burning with pain, my ears were ringing violently, and I couldn't hear anything clearly. I only saw densely packed pirates rushing towards us...This is my last memory of that night."

Dylan continued to tell about his subsequent experiences, including being tortured by pirates to get information, and how he was released and conveyed the redemption of the captives.

After the young viscount finished his story, there was silence in the meeting hall.

In the end, it was the king himself who broke the silence.

"Everyone, now we can assert that the legend has become a reality. The Kingdom of Aldo has encountered an enemy that has never been encountered before, an enemy that is completely unknown and unfamiliar to us."
