Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 387 Western slaves and the southern sea (two in one)

Anastasia Herman and Heloise Trewell, it has been more than a month since they left Sol Konan.

All the way west, they came to the wilderness that seemed to be far away from human civilization, and traveled through outposts one after another—the outposts were the human settlements in the wilderness before there was enough manpower to support a town.

Of course, the reason they came here has nothing to do with Iris—if we calculate according to history, there is no "Free Iris" at this time.

At this time, the two sat opposite each other in the corner of the dark tavern, clinking glasses lightly from time to time, and drank the butter beer that was not smooth and mellow, but Her Royal Highness did not look picky after being pampered, or Saying she has nothing to do with the word pampered—

After all, no pampered princess would squat on the table, grab her hair, and analyze the piles of information.

"Speaking of which, how is your younger brother? He should have gained a foothold in the East, right?"

Anastasia kept looking around from the corner of her eye, and suddenly remembered something, and asked.

"Brother?" Heloise was stunned for a moment, and finally got an impression when she heard Dongfang: "Ah, you mean that Adrian? Your Highness, that's not my brother..."

She explained with some helplessness that this His Highness always liked to joke about small things, which made her unable to resist.

"However, with his ability, it must not be difficult to gain a firm foothold in the East."

"That's not necessarily the case. This year is different than usual. If a Palanian griffin cavalry flies over his head to show off his power, do you think he can handle it?" Anastasia's crossed leg suddenly wobbled. With a flash, the toe of the boot lightly bumped against Treville's calf.

"Ah...Your Highness, do you think Palania has almost turned against us? Who caused it?" Treville shook his head. Was it because of this Highness and his reckless words that he rejected Palania's marriage contract? .

As she spoke, she stood up slowly, but the hand hidden under the cloak was silently holding the hilt of the sword at her waist.

On the dance floor not far away, there was a sudden commotion among the men, women, orcs who were exercising their bodies to the fullest. A group of strong and strong people passed through the crowd arrogantly. The tauren warrior with hooves was holding a long rope in his hand, and the rope behind him was covered by a black cloth, wriggling through the crowd.

"Is it them?" Heloise asked in a low voice, and then heard Anastasia's soft sigh: "Who else can it be? Let's do it."

"Yes."

She responded softly, and then gently pulled the sword out of its sheath with the hand holding the hilt.

Time and space seem to stand still at this moment——

This place was originally a warm and small tavern, but at this moment, the walls of the building seemed to disappear, and the goose feather snow outside rushed in, flew in the crowd, and slapped people's faces arrogantly.Their bodies began to tremble involuntarily, as if they had really fallen into the ice and snow.

The tauren warrior seemed to be particularly slow in his perception of temperature. With his eyes wide open and his nose snorting, he watched in amazement that his companions in front of him stopped suddenly and remained motionless.He was about to ask them what happened, but saw the soldier in front of him tilted and fell to the ground.

In just a blink of an eye, all the companions in the row in front of him fell down without even making a muffled groan.He mooed in panic, and grabbed his axe, but after two or three turns, he could not find his enemy.

When he lowered the ax slightly in surprise, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a fluffy snowflake floating towards his neck.

And then he fell down too, feeling no pain at all—

Time, resumed its flow.

The people on the dance floor screamed, and they found that the group of people who were showing off their might just now had all fallen to the ground, not breathing at all, and there was only a thin scar on the throat.

And the rope in their hands, the black cloth bag squirming behind the rope, and Anastasia and Heloise, who were drinking together in the corner of the tavern, all disappeared.

Heloise just lifted a corner of the black cloth, and saw a child with fox ears huddled inside, dressed extremely thinly, with scars all over his body, his hands were tied by a rope, and he was watching with big eyes. looking at her.

"Your Highness..."

She turned her head and saw that Anastasia was directing hot water into the huge pool, and there was steam in front of her.

"Open it, let them all wash it well..." She wiped the sweat from her forehead calmly, and then lifted the big black cloth with Heloise.

Under the black cloth, there were more than a dozen half-orc children with animal ears or tails, all of whom looked miserable.Anastasia pursed her lips, and together with Heloise, they untied the rope from their hands, and led them into the warm pool.

"How many batches is this?"

"The fifth batch, Your Highness."

"total……"

"Nearly a hundred orc children."

Anastasia raised her head, half-closed her eyes, and after a moment said softly:
"This matter must be strictly investigated. Their slave trade route must be the port in the south... It's a pity that there are no people from our own who hinder the plan in the south, so we can't get in touch."

"As for the rest of the children..." She looked at the quiet pool, those half-orc children didn't realize that they had been liberated, and they were still sitting in the pool dumbfounded, without moving at all.

"I'll leave it to you, Heloise, train them and let them become a new force."

"Yes, Your Highness. Then... how about you?"

Anastasia stood up and wrapped the cloak on the side around her body: "I have to go back to Solkonan. I can only save dozens of children here at most, but I can't catch the mastermind behind the scenes. I really want to find The clues still have to be in Solkonan."

As she spoke, she took out a scroll from her bosom, pressed her fingers on it, her body twisted in an instant, and then disappeared.

Heloise was left sitting by the pool. After a while, she stood up and glanced at the little half-orcs in the pool.

They tilted their heads one by one, soundly asleep.

--------

Meanwhile, south of La Rochelle, above the sea.

Overcast clouds, howling winds, and huge waves surged to the sky. A small ship was sailing with difficulty amidst the surging gray-white foam.

"Evans! The capstan is jammed! Go and lower the sails, quick! We don't have many sails left!"

The sound that was almost inaudible by the wind still drifted to the ears of the young man under the mast. He looked up at the sail that was about to be split by the wind, and without any hesitation, he grabbed the mast and began to climb .

The captain looked anxiously at the figure that was constantly going up on the mast—this was undoubtedly the most unfortunate sea trip they had ever experienced. In just half a month, they encountered three storms, each lasting two days or nearly three days. Time, obviously they also prayed for the protection of the Sea God before going to sea...

It must have been provoked by the group of young people from the middle of the kingdom, the Sea God saw that they were not pleasing to the eye, so he sent such a punishment——

When he couldn't help cursing, a big wave suddenly hit the deck and hit his face, making him swallow a few mouthfuls of water.He quickly put away his random thoughts, and said silently in his heart: "Urella is on top, Urella is on top, I don't dare to think about it..."

When he raised his head again, he saw that the young man was raising his hand, cutting off the rope, and then grabbed the big sail a few times, as if the strong wind would not disturb him in any way, he slid down the mast to the deck.

This is an extremely challenging task for skilled sailors, but it seems so easy in his hands.Then he ran into the cabin in three steps and two steps, stuffed the sail in, and when he came out again, he returned to his work post.

This time the storm came and went quickly, just like the temper of the sea god Urella.Before long it was calm and the sun even came out.

The deck was immediately filled with cheers from the sailors.

Evans let out a long sigh of relief, shook his sore arms, and the passing sailors whistled to him, "Hey, that was a really good move just now, Sunny Boy!"

Evans laughed, and leaned against the side of the boat, looking at the calm sea, which was completely different from before.

The storm this time was undoubtedly much smaller than the two previous ones. Thinking of the embarrassment he was almost thrown from the boat for the first time, Evans couldn't help but smile on his face.

But it was also at the beginning that he felt that his footsteps gradually became more stable, and every step he took was solid - this seemed to be the manifestation of the magic resonance of the earth element, but he had been staying on the sea and had no effort to verify.

They are the third batch to go to sea. The task of going to sea is to open up deserted islands. There is a class of new graduates on this ship. They did not hesitate to choose between joining the group army controlled by the southern nobles and going to sea to open up. go to sea——

This is exactly what the Southern Restriction Project wants to see, requiring the southern nobles to contribute money and efforts to develop desert islands, and Solconan will provide new talents accordingly.After the successful pioneering, the southern nobles returned all their money, and the remaining money was divided fifty-fifty——

Using other people's money to train their own rookies, and using the benefits of the deserted island to attract the attention of the southern nobles, this is the core of the southern restraint plan.

Evans looked at the sea from a distance. Although he was only a few years older, he was much more mature than those new graduates. Those graduates were vomiting in the cabin, and he still had time to watch the scenery here.

Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes——

On the sea not far away, among the waves, there seemed to be a ship approaching them. The black flag was fluttering in the wind. He exhausted his eyesight and could vaguely see a skull crossed with bones on it——

"There are pirates!"

Evans immediately yelled loudly, the captain panicked, and then shouted loudly: "Quickly, hang up the sails, hang up, and Jayce, go and activate the driving circle!"

"Captain, that thing can burn three Gentry in 10 minutes!"

"Don't worry about it so much, just run for your life!"

The captain yelled at the first officer, while the graduates in the cabin had already picked up their weapons and ran to the deck one after another.

"Who knows the eagle eye?" Evans asked loudly, and a thin man who looked frail stood up and looked towards the pirate ship, but he immediately made a suspicious voice:

"Sir Evans, that pirate ship... something is wrong!"

"Not right?"

"Look at the side strings. Those are three magic naval guns. They are not something ordinary pirates can get. Looking at the deck, they are very formally dressed... This looks like a ship of the southern noble navy!"

Evans narrowed his eyes.

"The navy pretends to be pirates? What are they going to do?" He thought to himself, and asked, "Jiais, how many people are there on board?"

"There are very few people on the deck... anyway, much less than us."

"If we choose to fight, can we win?"

"Fight?" Jia Aisi was taken aback, but then he saw Evans' eyes without any hint of jokes, and then he settled down and said: "If you are going to fight, if you don't consider shelling and go directly to the board, it must be We have the advantage, but the problem lies in the artillery battle..."

"Who will fire?!" Evans shouted immediately, and there was a small commotion among the graduates, and then someone stood up: "Sir, I will! I am good at war equipment!"

"War equipment?" Evans raised his eyebrows, which is a rare profession: "Your name?"

"Gwulf, my name is Gwulf, Chief Evans!"

"Very good." Evans looked at this strong young man with a mustache and a funny appearance, "Is there any problem with using our cannon to smash their cannon?"

"Our cannon is an old-fashioned ice bomb cannon, which can only release the first-level ice cone spell..." Gwulf was a little confused.

"I'll just ask you, is there any problem?" Evans slapped the side of the boat hard and shouted.

Gwulf raised his head and seemed to be doing mental calculations. After a while, he said loudly, "No problem, sir!"

"Very good, then the remaining ones who can fight, prepare for the boarding battle. We will destroy their firepower, and then rush to their deck."

Evans spoke loudly, and then walked towards where the captain was - the hunched middle-aged man was commanding the sailors with a face full of panic. When he saw Evans walking towards him, he immediately said:

"Evans, get back to your place!"

However, Evans drew out his long sword, and under the panicked eyes of the captain, he put the long sword on his neck: "Captain Parker, I am very sorry to inform you that this ship is temporarily taken over by Solkonan..."

He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said, "Which academy are you from?"

"From the Third Military Academy!"

"Okay, this ship has been temporarily taken over by the Solkonan Third Military Academy, please cooperate with us."

"Yes, yes, I cooperate, let's get out of here quickly!" The captain wailed, and then saw Evans holding the roulette in one hand, and said slowly:
"Now, turn the bow—"

"Turn the ship around? Are you crazy? That's a pirate!" The captain panicked.

But when he looked at Evans' face, he found a smile on the young man's face:

"pirate?"

"We are fighting pirates."
