Chapter 131 The Calm Before the Storm
In the early morning, the mist still lingered, and with a long whistle, an ironclad ship sailed into the port of Memphitos.
Something happened, some knowledgeable people stayed away from the port, and this place was about to become a place of right and wrong.
The Hunter, the ironclad ship of the Bald Eagle Kingdom, is not the first time it has docked at the port of Memphitos, but it has never received as much attention as it does today, even when it was the first time it came. , because today a row of human heads hangs on its flagpole.
Although they have become stinky, after special treatment, the appearance of these heads can still be clearly identified. The top one is Sir Link.
As the person in charge of the Montel family's New and Old World routes, Link had many acquaintances in Memphitos. His head was quickly recognized, and then the news spread quickly, like a sudden storm.
For these heads, the explanation given by the Bald Eagle Kingdom was that they were criminals who colluded with pirates, attacked warships, and were then killed by the military. I have to say that this reason is simply insincere. During this period, the Bald Eagle Kingdom's ironclad ships were in this area. It was so prestigious that the pirates couldn't even run away when they saw it, let alone take the initiative to attack. Besides, the attack of the sailing ship on the ironclad was a joke in itself.
Memphitos, City Hall, and the dignitaries gathered together again.
"What does the bald eagle want to do? Does it really want to start a war with us?"
"Oh, what can we do even if others want to start a war? The other side's armored ship is parked at sea."
Some people are angry, some are sarcastic, some think this is the bald eagle's contempt for Sutilte, some think this is an opportunity to watch the Montel family's show, everyone has their own ideas.
"I wonder what our Baron Sean will do this time? Will he be a coward?"
With a hint of a hidden smile on his lips, there was an indescribable joy in Baron Gloria's words. Because of the black iron veins, he now completely hates Sean. Normally, he can't do anything because of his strength. I can bear it, and now I can finally vent.
Hearing his words, the other nobles were thoughtful. No matter what they thought deep down, they were all waiting for Sean's reaction. After all, no matter what the root cause of this matter, the Montel family would bear the brunt. .
In Greenfield Town, the Lord's Mansion, Sean received news from the small manor of Memphitos.
"Okay, I know."
After listening to the manor steward's narration, Sean hung up the phone with an expressionless expression.
With his eyes closed and deep in thought, Sean remained silent for a long time.
"Whitebeard, come back as soon as possible."
After a long silence, Sean picked up the phone bug again. After doing this, Sean walked into the underground laboratory again and continued his research as if nothing had happened.
The storm rolled up, and Greenfield Town, which was on the cusp of the storm, attracted the attention of countless people, some were good, some were bad, some were curious and some were sarcastic. However, the result was that they were disappointed. Greenfield Town or Sean was beyond expectation. Calm, without any movement, just live your life how you want.
Memphitos, Count's Palace.
"Is there still no movement over there Sean?"
Wiping his golden eyes, Asim asked casually.
"Not yet. It's peaceful. Not only Baron Sean but also several of his strong men have not made any move."
With his head lowered, the old butler's tone was as gentle as ever.
“Do we really have to swallow our anger or is it the calm before the storm?”
He spoke with doubtful words and looked out the window. There was a trace of unnoticeable expectation in Asim's eyes. He knew better than most people the power that Sean possessed. It might not be enough to collide with the Bald Eagle Kingdom. But a simple small-scale ironclad fleet is definitely not a problem.
Time passed, and ten days passed in a flash.
Greenfield Town is still as calm as ever, without any movement. Almost everyone thinks that the Montel family has tolerated this bad breath. Although this has disappointed many people, if you think about it carefully, this is a very normal choice. , after all, the other party is the Bald Eagle Kingdom, which is currently in the limelight. A nobleman with a long heritage never lacks the necessary forbearance. He must bow his head when it is time to bow his head. Sometimes face is worth more than gold, and sometimes it is worthless.
Memphitos Harbor, Hunter.
Ten days have passed. Even after treatment, the heads of Link and others have rotted away. Coupled with the pecks of some evil birds, only white bones are left at this moment.
"Ah, it's so boring. I've been looking forward to this for nothing."
After looking at the white skull on the flagpole and then at the silent port, Leon took a comfortable sip of red wine from the glass.
"It's expected, but do we have to keep waiting?"
Talib stood aside with a relaxed look on his face.
"No wait. Since they have made up their mind to be shameful gutter rats, let's let them do it. I don't have that much time to spend with them."
After drinking down the red wine in the glass, Leon gave the order to set sail.
Well~~, the long and powerful whistle sounded again. Under the watchful eyes of interested people, the Bald Eagle Kingdom's war weapon Hunter slowly sailed away from the port of Memphitos.
And as the Hunter completely disappeared, the storm caused by the Bald Eagle Kingdom seemed to have subsided. This made everyone from Memphitos to the nobles to the common people heave a sigh of relief, and then everything returned to normal, but after another In the days that followed, when people mentioned Montel and Greenfield Town, there was always a hint of mockery, and there was no longer the awe that they had before.
In this conflict, Montel's glory was completely dimmed, and the thousand-year-old golden oak was stained with dust.
Greenfield Town, Lord's Mansion. Although Xiao Xiao rarely showed up during this period, the atmosphere in the Lord's Mansion became more and more tense day by day. The slaves did not even dare to speak loudly for fear of causing misfortune. They even talked to Xiao in the Lord's Mansion. Gu Leiya, who was closest to En, was silent for a long time.
Of course, she was not afraid but worried. As a person close to Sean, Gulea knew clearly that regardless of the family reputation, Sir Link's relationship with Sean was unusual. In addition to their subsidiary relationship, they also had a relationship. True friendship, otherwise Sean wouldn't have given a precious third-level sea monster cub to Link.
Brubru, the phone buzzed in the bright laboratory, and his face looked like a white beard.
"Hmm~ Are you almost there? Then let's go ahead and do it. Since their knives are stained with our blood, let's wash them with their blood."
After saying that, Sean hung up the phone.
At this moment, Sean's pupils were already filled with scarlet red, without any warmth at all.
"No one can trample on the glory of Golden Oak, and no one can kill the Montel family."
