Chapter 136 Predicament

?The past half month in Clearwater Port has been like a festival. Even standing on the terrace at the top of the Lord's Tower, Farien can feel the high atmosphere in the city.

The materials and population moved from Eagle City greatly expanded the strength of this seaport city, the looters gained a lot, and the slave market also became lively. After experiencing this series of battles, the Black Sail Fleet not only suffered no losses, but instead recruited a large number of slaves as sailors. They are currently undergoing intense training at the port. In a few days, they will head to the fjords for their first raid of the year.

Her Majesty the Queen also promulgated the Slave Exploitation Act in due course. As long as these slaves captured from Eagle City can capture new people as replacements in the plunder, they can be promoted from slaves to citizens of Clearwater Port in one fell swoop. Presumably with such an inspiring decree, those residents of Eagle City who became slaves will also fight with all their strength.

Now that Timothy has returned in defeat, there is no one in the Kingdom of Graycastle who can stop the Queen of Clear Water. As long as time passes, Garcia Wimbledon will definitely become the master of Graycastle. Faruen thought this way, but why didn't the Queen have a happy look on her face, instead there was a long-lasting gloom between her brows?

"Your Majesty, the patriarchs of the Sandstone Clan and the Blackbone Clan seek to see you." A guard's voice came from outside the door.

Farien glanced at His Majesty, and seeing that the latter did not make any sign, he shouted, "Bring them in."

Whether His Majesty is resting, holding meetings or receiving people who visit her, he likes to do it at the top of this tower. As long as the weather is right, the terrace is where Garcia spends the most time. Most people are not used to standing in the air, facing the slightly fishy sea breeze to discuss things. Sandman is no exception.

The patriarch of the Sandstone clan is a petite woman who is also the goddess of the clan. When Faruen heard this introduction for the first time, he scoffed in his heart, what kind of goddess is just a fallen witch. The patriarch of the Blackbone Clan was tall and tall, with scars all over his face, and his arms were as thick as the thighs of ordinary people. Every time they meet, there will be three or four guards around him to prevent him from plotting against Her Majesty.

The moment they stepped onto the terrace, the two patriarchs frowned at the same time, but they quickly restrained their expressions and respectfully knelt down to the Queen of Clear Water, "May there be oases in front of you, and may the stars in the sky shine on your path. "

"Get up," Garcia sat down with her back to the guardrail, "how is it, are you satisfied with the new residence?"

"Everything is fine," Goddess Kabara said first, "There are woods and water sources in the territory, which is much more comfortable than the iron sand city full of wind and sand."

"That's all right. What are you here for?"

"Your Majesty, last time you gave"

The black bone patriarch was interrupted by Kabara as soon as he opened his mouth, "It's like this, Your Majesty. After the last battle, many warriors have become weak and lethargic, and they can only get better by taking new pills regularly, but we There are not many pills in hand. I am here to ask you to distribute more pills to us."

"That's what I mean too," Hei Gu glared at the goddess, and said in a muffled voice.

"The materials for this thing are very complicated, and I don't have much left now. Don't worry, I will send them to you as soon as possible after the new batch of pills are made. But don't forget to prepare the golden dragon. If it is not enough, use Styx water It’s okay to settle the bill.”

"Your Majesty, forgive me for asking." Kabara hesitated for a moment, "I wonder when the next batch will be produced?"

"I can't tell you this." Garcia stroked her hair that was blown by the sea breeze. "Everything about the pill is a secret. Go back and wait patiently. Those soldiers are just listless. If you rest more, it won't hurt you." It's all right."

The personal guards received Faruien's hint, stepped forward to surround the sand people, and "brought" Kabara and Black Bone down who still wanted to ask a few more questions.

After the balcony door closed, Garcia sighed softly.

Farien rarely heard such a voice from Her Majesty the Queen. He took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, do you think it is inappropriate to give up the land along the southern border to the sand people? If they become stronger one day..."

"No, Faruen," Garcia shook her head, "I've never worried about the sand people. They pose no threat to Clear Water Port. The lake in that land is right in the middle of the two clans' territory, and the upper reaches are from Clear Water As long as I block half the river, the shrinking lake will make them fight among themselves first. The reason I chose sandstone and black bone is that their relationship has never been very harmonious here."

"So you're worried about the pill?"

Garcia didn't answer, and at this moment, the guard knocked on the door again and said, "Your Majesty, the priest of the church, Dikar, asks to see you."

"Bring him in," the queen immediately stood up, her face becoming more gloomy.

"His Majesty Garcia Wimbledon, I greet you on behalf of the Holy City," the priest stepped onto the terrace and bowed.

"What about the pills? Why are the previous batches delivered normally, but these batches are delayed?" Garcia asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, calm down, I'm here for this," Dikal wiped the sweat from his brow, "You asked to buy five thousand pieces, which is too much, even Hermes can't make it in a short time I will meet your needs within a short time, and this time I will bring back a new batch.”

"How much?" Garcia interrupted.

"One thousand." Dika rubbed his chest, "The next ones will be delivered one after another."

"And how did you promise before?" She looked a little brighter, "You can have as many as you want. Where is the pill, I will send someone to get it."

"It's in the church, I don't know the golden dragon..."

"I won't miss you a golden dragon," Garcia walked in front of Dika and whispered in his ear, "but if the next pill arrives late, your head will be hung on the ram of the Black Sail flagship Come on, I don't think the Archbishop will shed a tear for you."

After the priest bid farewell palely, she returned to the railing, looking at the sea skyline in the distance. The sea breeze lifted her long gray hair like a flag fluttering on the mast of a fleet.

"You're right, I'm worried about the pill." Garcia's voice seemed far away, "If Timothy stays at night for another two months, I will be more prepared, and I can defeat him without relying on pills." Royal Capital Knights. It's a pity that he came too soon."

"You have done a very good job." Farien thought to himself, who else could do better? Since occupying Eagle City, she has formulated a response plan, ordered people to take away supplies and residents, and at the same time dug ditches in the city to pour black water. In the case of insufficient manpower, she exchanged the deserted land in the south for the support of the sand people, and let the clan warriors who took the pill attack the knights from both sides. In order to resist the last wave of overwhelming charge, her loyal supporters also He swallowed the secret medicine without hesitation.

"The secret medicine provided by the church is not harmless to life as I said. If it is not replenished for a long time, the person who takes the medicine will become manic and restless, and then die in weakness, pain and limb atrophy. The life and death of the sand people I don't care at all, but the people who serve me deserve the best." She paused, "Farien, take someone to retrieve the pills, and then distribute them to those brave warriors. Let them separate Eat half of it, it will last longer."

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

Just as Faruien was about to leave, the guard's shout sounded for the third time outside the door, "Your Highness, there is a secret letter from the capital."

"Let's go after reading," she said.

"Yes," Faruen took back the secret letter, skillfully cut the seal, and took out the letter paper. Most of these secret letters are information sent back by eyeliners lurking in various places. They have no signatures and no recipients. The content is usually as concise and clear as possible. But when he saw the first sentence, he froze in place.

"On the twenty-second day of spring, the church captured the capital of the kingdom on the grounds that the Queen of Eternal Winter, Terina, was a witch who had been hiding for many years, and pronounced a sentence to take over the entire territory of Eternal Winter."
