The Emerald Tower

Gaosai, the royal capital.

In a magnificent palace that occupies a vast area, the tall guard who had just received news from the military port walked quickly toward the depths of the palace.

Click, click!

The friction between the metal boots and the marble floor creates a rhythmic sound.

It spread back and forth in the empty corridor.

One after another, the figures standing in the shadows discern the people who came in the dark, and then they disappeared in a flash.

At the end of the corridor, there is no obstruction by the door, and everything inside can be clearly seen——

A huge map hung on the wall of the room.

It is painted with emeralds, Gaosai and Xiti, and the Free Federation.

And beside the map, there is a sand table, as if the map on the side is completely branded on it, the cities, mountains, and rivers are so complete and detailed.

And between the map and the sand table, there is a man standing in his prime.

The black-red silk robe is well-cut, with straight eyebrows straight into the bun, piercing eyes, a straight nose, and slightly hooked nose.

It made this handsome face a bit more cruel.

The black and red long hair fell down and merged with the silk robe, standing there like a dark flame.

"His Royal Highness, there is news from the military port: The patriarch of the Zelgaon family has entered our waters. He is flying the banner of Grand Duke Emerald, but Duke Emerald has not come!"

The tall guard told everything truthfully.

"Zelgaon... is Nick's subordinate?"

The man said slowly, and then waved his hand: "Leave it to Fedoc! Let him take my place to receive the Zelgaon patriarch. After all. He is not only my adviser. He is also with the Zelgaon. Have relatives!"

Obviously, only the subordinates of Grand Duke Jade could not really attract his attention.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The tall guard bowed and left the hall.

And this man put his gaze on the complete and delicate sand table again.

His gaze swept to the north of Jade--

The city of Vauban appeared impressively where he looked.

His fingers gently tapped the edge of the sand table.

"Something unexpected happened... Whether it was the manpower I sent out or the one who stayed there... It seems that there are some problems?"

The man whispered to himself.

Ding, Ding...

The man gently pulled the rope beside the sand table, and immediately a bell rang. Then, a dark shadow appeared in front of the man silently.

"Is there no news from Momon and Wuder?"

The man asked.

"No, Your Highness—I think they are already so bad!"

This is an elderly man with a hoarse voice, and his whole body is covered by black clothing, only showing a simple face.

"I have to get what's there-my brother's body is going from bad to worse, but he loves my brother Eddie...my time is running out!"

The man said slowly, his tone beyond doubt.

Eddie Byron Gosai, the brother of King Gosai, one of the two princes.

The man in front of him called Eddie his younger brother. So naturally, it goes without saying that he is another prince of Gaosai: Fendel Byron. Gaosai.

"His Royal Highness. Do you want to go in person? The one you invited Jade to return to visit logically?" The old man guessed Fender's plan, but he frowned. He disagreed, "His Royal Highness is very risky-Your Royal Highness Eddie. He is not without ambitions for the throne. What's more, Her Royal Highness Vivian has been staring at her! If you leave..."

"I stay and the situation will not change, but if I leave, my enemies will definitely take action as I leave. Then we can easily kill them all at once-and I find Under the premise of the Ancestor Sabre, all difficulties will be solved!"

Fender said confidently.

The old man frowned again, but in the end he did not persuade him again.

And Fender turned around and set his eyes on the sand table again, and began to patrol the three places of Gaosai, Jade, and Xiti.

It is like looking at one's own territory.

...

The young Captain Andro, the first and third fleet of the high game, did not leave Dean's flagship.

With a sense of scrutiny, he chatted with Tom and Nord without losing courtesy.

Elder Longk stood in a change, quietly listening to the conversation between the two sides.

As the elder of the Zelgaon family, Longk, the old man, knew very well what they would face next, so he always increased his vigilance.

But Dean left the deck a moment ago and returned to his captain's room.

Dean was naturally clear about what might happen next.

However, because of this, Dean knew more clearly that he should be energetic.

Leaning quietly on his bed, Dean, who woke up from his sleep, listened to the conversation on the deck, and couldn't help but chuckle—

"It's a lot slower than I thought--it seems that Findel didn't pay attention to me!"

For Findel, Dean was too clear.

Cold, hypocritical, and cruel.

It's someone who smiles in front of you and then stabbed a knife as soon as he turned around.

However, there is one thing, Fender is quite amazed by Dean.

That is, there will be no procrastination in doing things-after one thing is determined, the other party will burst out of unprecedented execution power and give the enemy a thunderous attack.

Therefore, Dean can be sure that his ‘low status’ did not attract the other’s attention.

It was handed over to others!

As for who is it?

Dean, who has the surname ‘Zelgaon’, certainly can’t think of which party it is.

After all, in the Gaosai, the Frost Nobles are also famous. Far surpassing the one in jade.

"Invite Your Highness to participate in the founding ceremony of the Gaosai. It's nothing more than to take advantage of the situation to go to the jade-and in the jade. What can attract Fender is nothing but the cemetery left by the conquering king!"

Dean pondered the thoughts of his old opponent.

Then, he smiled softly.

When he left Vauban, he had completely covered up the tomb of the Conquer King, and even the wolves were properly arranged elsewhere.

Moreover, more than one trap has been set up there.

Those who step into it, if they don’t know, they’re inside. There is absolutely no place for death.

Therefore, Dean is not afraid of sending more people.

Unless it is a golden-level powerhouse, otherwise, he can guarantee that those people will have no return.

However, the gold-level powerhouse obviously cannot act at will, especially the gold powerhouse of one country, entering another country, will definitely be closely monitored and even blocked.

and so. Dean was sure that Fender couldn't send his most capable subordinate.

Under this premise, the other party can only use other methods. It is logical to let the gold rank powerhouse go to the north of Jade - and his envoy to Jade is naturally a pretty good excuse.

However, Fender never thought that Dean had already made the first step.

"Fender, what you have lost is not only the first opportunity, but everything you are thinking about!"

Dean muttered to himself, then, slowly stood up and walked out of the cabin-although it was inside the cabin, Dean could clearly hear the conversation outside.

Therefore, Dean also heard clearly the latest order that Captain Andro received.

As for the so-called invitation to enter the Royal Capital Port and wait there for the arrival of Grand Duke Emerald, Dean was equally noncommittal.

The other party already has a corresponding arrangement.

No matter where it is, the opponent will shoot.

Therefore, it is far better to enter the port of the opponent than to hang out alone; after all, once something happens, he'failed' to damage the port facilities, capital buildings, and even some nobles and knights of the Gaosai. The king will forgive him; after all, he was unintentional.

So, facing Andro's invitation, Dean readily agreed.

But Dean agreed, and the rest of the fleet would naturally not object.

After a while, when Andro returned to his ship to guide the ship toward the port of the King's Capital of Gaosai, the Zelgaon family's fleet followed in turn.

In the case of good wind and water, early the next morning.

The fleet of the Zelgaon family saw the capital of Gaosai.

The pier constructed by a series of solid rocks is like a fortress if there are no ships coming in and out. From the perspective of the Zelgaon family fleet, the port in the distance is completely creeping there. Behemoth.

The place where the ship enters and exits is the mouth of the giant beast.

The iron fences are the teeth in the beast's mouth.

On the uppermost side, arrow towers are densely distributed every twenty feet, and groups of soldiers shuttle among them.

Anyone who sees this place will think it is a military fortress, not a port.

In fact, the capital city of Gaosai was originally a military port.

However, with the trade with Emerald and the Free Federation, a civilian-like wharf has been gradually developed on the side of the military port. With the passage of time, this civil wharf has become increasingly large due to the prosperous trade. In the end, the pure military port began to be integrated into civilian use.

Of course, the dock where warships are parked still strictly prohibits any civilian ships from approaching.

Woo, woo...

There was a burst of bugle sounds, and the largest iron fence outside the port, dragged by the winch, began to gradually rise, behind the Andro ship. The Zelgaon family's fleet sailed into it.

Click, click!

As the last ship entered ~www.readwn.com~, the iron fence behind it re-closed the entire port in a burst of harsh friction.

At the same time, at the wharf, a group of soldiers hurriedly left suddenly, attracting attention.

"what happened?"

Dean looked at the far away soldier and asked Nord.

"A group of robbing thugs appeared in the city, running around!"

After a while, Nord came back to report.

"The mob of the robbery?"

Dean muttered to himself, and then looked at Elder Long meaningfully.

The latter sneered again and again.
