Act 134 Outer Harbor Breeze II

After clearing her thoughts, Faina understood her situation. In the past week, the changes in the time when the sun set proved that they were heading north. Several times she heard the sound of sea waves, between Metz and Evergreen Walkway. There are several mountain roads near the sea, which proves that the convoy is also heading westward at the same time. The convoy is most likely passing through several provinces along the sublime inland sea in the western edge of the Flower Leaf Territory, heading to the ports there, and taking a boat to the imperial capital. . ybdu.

Day after day passed, living in the dark was enough to drive a normal person crazy, not to mention the huge fear buried in her heart. Most of the time she bent her feet and buried her head in her knees. He wrapped his arms around himself and huddled in the corner of the prison van, as if this could make him feel a little safer. One day ago, the convoy stopped briefly in Naka, a small town on a mesa east of Fatan Port. During the stay, she figured out where she was. The information revealed by the guards indicated that the convoy was heading to the Evergreen Walkway. The western end is also the starting point of East Metz - Fatan.

Just earlier that day, she heard the sound of the waves washing over the cliff clearly. She had walked through this mountain road more than once, but at that time she had been here as the daughter of a duke. Faina leaned against the cold iron wall a little weakly, with strands of golden hair hanging down on the side of her pale face. She lowered her eyelids weakly, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, and the sound of seagulls was heard outside the prison car. What is a little strange is that the road is deserted and there is no sound of caravans passing by. In theory, this should be an important land and sea hub in East Metz. There is an endless stream of business travelers on weekdays. Or is it that Rodney has no intention of going to Fatan Port? , but they established a secret anchorage nearby.

The girl suddenly felt a little creepy. These people were so cautious.

But this is not the case, the sun has just dispersed the fog between the straits. But the cliffs near the sea were covered with a faint layer of water vapor, and a pass lay between the foggy water vapor. Rodney quickly stopped the convoy and looked up at those with anchor-shaped emblems on their shirts on the wall. Soldier, this pass built against the mountains and the sea is the outermost line of defense of Fatan Port, but its gate is rarely lowered on weekdays. Today it was unusually tightly closed.

"It seems that the war caused by His Majesty has affected this area." Rodney thought to himself. News about the civil war has not yet spread to the areas east of Metz, but as the Queen's emissary, he has some information. First hand news. He raised his head and shouted: "Open the door quickly!"

"Who are you?" The soldiers on top of the tower then stuck their heads out and asked below.

"We are members of the White Legion. We, sir, have urgent military affairs and need to go to Port Fatan. I have sent someone to inform you earlier. Didn't you see it?" the knight next to Rodney asked angrily. .

There was a commotion among the soldiers on the tower, as if they were sizing them up to confirm their identities. This scene made Rodney even more sure of his thoughts - usually these guys were not so dedicated to their duties. The so-called inspection is mostly to cope with the situation, or to take advantage of the opportunity. after awhile,

The person on the tower seemed to have confirmed the identity of Rodney and his party - after all, the retinues accompanying Rodney were all genuine Knights of the White Legion, and under them was a tall mountain dragon, who was also covered in silver. The special armor with shining scales, the battle flag with the white dragon emblem hanging on the saddle, the spear shining, and the weapon majestic. You can tell at a glance that it is definitely not a fake.

Soon, the city gate creaked up.

in the darkness. Faina felt the cage shake slightly, and the convoy started to move forward again. She still didn't know the war going on in the east, and she felt a little strange in her heart. She thought, didn't these people take her to a secret port? Why would they still be related? Passes and gates. Even Fatan Port is not so strictly guarded.

Brando, Oni, Roman and Charles were watching from the observation deck as the group passed the drawbridge and passed through the city gate. Brando pointed to the knight at the front and introduced to the other three people: "That person is Rodney, Veronica's brother, and the youngest son of Duke Erichko. But this person has no ability, he is a jester at best. That’s it, after Ms. Veronica was put under house arrest by the Silver Queen, this person won the Queen’s favor by drawing a clear line with her family, and is now Her Majesty’s secret envoy.”

"Everyone in the Erichko family is a hero, but I didn't expect that someone like this would emerge." The Duke's daughter wrinkled her nose in disdain.

"You can't say that. This guy's ability to judge the situation and kill relatives for justice can be seen clearly. He should make the best use of everything." Charles replied with a smile: "The lord seems to be familiar with this person?"

Regarding this question, Brando was non-committal. In fact, as an Eruin player, he is quite familiar with well-known figures in the 'enemy'. However, he is familiar with this person not only for this reason. Rodney in history is the same as As Charles said, he was famous for being able to adapt to the changing circumstances. His reputation made him very popular in the upper-class aristocratic circles of the empire. People at the time called him the twin jewels of the Erichko family, and he and his sister Veronica were praised as... The literary and military pillar of the Erichko family, who knew that this man was a complete wimp. During the April 11 war, Madara's army surrounded White Eagle Castle (located in today's Ludwig), and he refused to fight. He surrendered and surrendered the city to the enemy, which resulted in the almost complete destruction of the White Army. This was a famous scandal in the history of the empire. Because of this incident, the prestige of the Erichko family plummeted, and even Veronica was removed due to his implication. The position of Legion Commander.

Therefore, for this famous traitor, it is really difficult for players from later generations who are not familiar with his deeds.

However, this kind of weak and incompetent guy is a perfect example of a pig teammate as one of his own, but as an enemy, he is really lucky. Fortunately, this guy is not famous now. It is estimated that even the Silver Queen does not know what kind of character her newly dispatched emissary is. The enemy's misfortune is his own great luck. Brando thought that this guy Charles has a saying that is true. That's right, if used properly, this is not only a big fish in front of you, but also a fat and oily big fish.

"He looks quite human-like, just a little bit worse than my Brando." The businesswoman observed the problem from a different angle than ordinary people. She squinted her eyes for a while before coming to the following conclusion. "Cough cough cough!" Brando almost choked to death at these words. What does it mean to look like a human? The Arexico family has excellent genes. His sister Veronica was a famous beauty in the imperial capital when she was young. . Rodney himself has perfectly inherited this bloodline. He is one of the most famous pretty boys in the empire, and he is also a master of picking up girls. It is said that he has ambiguous relationships with many famous ladies in the imperial capital. Judging from his appearance alone , Brando is quite self-aware. He knew very well that even if he flattered him, he would not be able to catch up with him, so Roman was probably the only one who could say such a thing without any shame.

He looked at the two people on the left and right angrily, and sure enough he saw the Duke's daughter looking at him with a strange expression, and the unscrupulous wizard attendant was having a hard time suppressing his laughter.

"Laugh if you want to, be careful not to injure yourself internally." Brando said lightly.

"That's not necessary, hehehe, Lord Lord," Charles said with a smile: "There are still people down there, it would be bad to attract their attention."

Oni finally has a strict tutor. She quickly calmed down her emotions, put her fist to her mouth, and coughed lightly: "I heard that Her Majesty the Queen sent him to monitor the White Army. Why did he suddenly appear here? Who is in the cage?"

"That's right," Ciel said with a smile, "There's a mermaid in it."

"Mermaid?" The Duke's daughter frowned.

"That's just a metaphor. The little beauty in the cage is actually the Lord's old lover - wow!" Ciel screamed. One sided to avoid Brando's sword: "Lord, you actually do it, those guys are still down there..."

"Shut up." Brando replied coldly.

He was actually seeing Rodney for the first time. She had already guessed who was being escorted in the prison car. Faina wrote her a reply. The reply clearly revealed her next intention. In fact, Brando had already expected that she might When encountering trouble, the wealthy young lady still took the problem too simply. Since the Silver Queen put Veronica under house arrest and chose to support Rodney as the next head of the Erichko family. It already explained a lot of problems, how could Rodney help his sister for her sake, not to mention that the man himself was a complete villain.

Unfortunately, it was too late for him to reply to the letter at that time. He just didn't expect that after Rodney captured Faina, he would actually fall into his own trap. And in fact Brando also wrongly blamed Faina. The Silver Queen's information blockade on the east and north was much stricter than on the south, so he learned some information that Faina didn't actually get the first-hand information, just like she didn't know about Eirich at the time. The interests of the Co family and the Silver Queen are entangled.

Brando watched silently as the carriage passed the pass and entered the port, with a hint of imperceptible anger secretly rising in his heart.

No matter what, what Rodney did has touched his bottom line.

…

The carriage finally got on the boat, and Rodney finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the bustling scene in the pier in front of him. In fact, he is very clear about his identity. In terms of ability, he cannot compare with his sister. In terms of popularity, he is not a match for the military nobles in the north. But he is more than loyal to His Majesty, and he puts himself down very calmly. In the reasonable position of Cheng Chen. Now that he has corrected his position, he has to help His Majesty complete some things under the table. Not only must he do it, but he must also do it well without leaving any tail. Just like what he did this time, he Of course he knew that he would offend a lot of nobles, but it was at least much better for him to be a villain than for His Majesty to be a villain, because His Majesty would remember his contribution.

As for those nobles who have become angry, just offend them. He knows very well what Her Majesty the Queen wants to do. It is no less than the four sages - no, it should be far better than the sages. The great deeds they had done, those decadent and ancient nobles, were reduced to ashes in the new flames.

The same goes for the Erichko family.

Rodney said to himself in his heart that he had no grudge against what he had done. It was only natural that he would get something if he gave up.

Thinking of this, he looked back at the prison car that was about to be transferred to the bottom cabin. He knew very well the value of the young lady in the cage. Although His Majesty had already taken action in advance and built a new prison on the ruins of the Temple of Flame. teachings, but after all, she does not want to overthrow the entire empire. Although the double-minded nobles in the north have been proven to be completely unreliable, there are still more nobles waiting and watching. His Majesty once told him personally that the eastern part of Metz How important are these great nobles. If they fall to Protestantism, then Ludwig's old diehards will be embattled on all sides, not to mention that East Metz is also the main road to the Alkhash Mountains.

Although I don’t quite understand why Her Majesty the Queen attaches so much importance to the Alka region, in order to enter the Alka region, East Metz must be in hand.

some of. The most important chess piece is the mosaic collar.

The current head of the Mosque and Leaf Territory is Duke Helix of the Mosque and Leaf. This man is a hardliner, and he is also emotionally inclined to Ludwig's group of noble lords. When he was young, he lived in the Erichko family for a long time. For a period of time, I had a deep relationship with the previous Duke Erichko, so it is absolutely impossible for this person to be biased towards Her Majesty the Queen. The two sons of Duke Huaye are also representatives of the military aristocracy. They are stubborn local factions and are not worthy of trust. Finally, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Mosaic Leaf, Faina, is extremely rebellious. Moreover, they are disciples of the Blue Sword Master. These people are not suitable candidates. Now the Duke and his two sons have been placed under house arrest. Then the rich lady is secretly escorted back to the imperial capital. The remaining little princess is known as ' The little angel with a mosaic collar has been cowardly and obedient since she was a child. With her father, brother and sister as hostages, she is not afraid of her disobedience.

Once the mosaic collar falls towards the queen. East Metz has basically been pacified in half, leaving the weaker lords. Most likely I won’t wait and see anymore.

As for the return of the Miner——

Rodney was a little disdainful. What does this mean? This world originally belonged to the Miner people. The Black Iron people just stole the authority. Her Majesty the Queen is doing the right thing, which is to return the authority to its correct position. And she will be crowned as the Dragon of Darkness as a Cruz. At that time, the empire that rules the entire earth will soon reappear, and the Cruz people will also be on an equal footing with the Miner people. The funny thing is that some people still don't understand.

This is a just cause.

Faina felt cold and hungry.

In the past two days, she felt that people outside were monitoring the prison car more closely. In the past few days, she had been able to breathe every day. But in the past two days, few people outside opened the door of the prison van, and even the frequency of delivering food and water was reduced. It only came once a day in the evening, which made her feel aggrieved and scared. In fact, Faina vaguely understood in her heart that this was because they were almost at their destination - people are like this. Whenever something is about to be completed, in order to avoid falling short, they will become more nervous and their attention will become less focused. Highly concentrated, which also shows that she is not far away from facing her own destiny.

This thought made her uneasy.

She didn't know what she would face, whether she would be directly executed in secret, or used as a hostage, or used as a pawn in a political marriage. She had heard of this kind of thing many times in the past, but it was not the protagonist. She only found it a bit scary. But today she felt a huge uneasiness gripping her, making it hard for her to breathe. She seemed to see a road leading to a dark abyss, filled with blood and despair, before her.

Faina trembled and nestled against the cold iron wall, and those past fragments were replayed in her mind repeatedly. At that time, she was still a high-ranking princess with a flower-leaf collar, and won the favor of her father and His Majesty. No matter where she was, She was the center of everyone around her, and then she became Veronica's student. She went to many places with her teacher. Once she breathed the free air, she could no longer live in a cage. She once thought She is different from those canary-like aristocratic ladies. They are weak and can only accept the fate arranged by others, but like a young eagle, she can choose her own future.

Facts proved her naivety and all her fantasies came to nothing. She felt as if she had been deceived by hope and then ruthlessly abandoned.

Tears fell on the floor like broken beads, and the wealthy lady began to cry helplessly.

While crying, Faina thought of her days in the Ring of Trade Winds. It was her first time traveling far away from the empire to adventure. She once thought that it was the most terrifying encounter she had ever encountered in her life - a most abominable person. The country bumpkin not only disgraced her, but even tried to teach her a lesson several times. Even the commander of the regiment was unable to do anything about him - but what he experienced at that time was nothing compared to what he experienced now, and looking back on it now, There is also a vague feeling of warmth.

"It would be great if I could go back to that time—"

Faina was quickly startled by her idea, and then fell into lamenting her current predicament.

"Brando... Brando..."

Faina had a fever, her hot forehead pressed against the cold iron wall, and her mind couldn't help but think wildly, as if these wild thoughts could relieve the worries in her heart. She suddenly remembered that Brando had arrived in the empire and was only a stone's throw away from her, but he certainly didn't know the situation he was facing. He might have thought that he could help him and save his men. But as a once-high-ranking daughter of a duke, now she can't even protect herself. Her future and destiny have become unpredictable. She may die tomorrow, or she may live in an ignoble existence, which is worse than death.

When he thought that he might die in such an unknown way, that guy might not be able to know the news of his death. Maybe many years later, that guy finally remembered him and thought: 'Oh, that guy named Faina A girl, I once had an adventure with her when I was young, but it's a pity that I haven't heard any news about her for a long time. ’

When she thought of such a thing, Faina's heart was pierced with daggers, and her eyes became gray.

Brando soon got the news that Rodney's ship had left the port. As he expected, this guy didn't even meet Baron Metz in order to keep it secret. Being cautious to this point is considered a skill. . This also allowed this guy to escape, otherwise Brando would order the net to be closed as soon as they entered the castle, and Rodney would be unable to fly out even if he had wings. At present, the only alternative is to activate the backup plan and let the fleet staying in the outer sea intercept Rodney's ship.

It's not that he hasn't considered detaining the other party in the port, but he has just taken over the port and has not yet dispelled the suspicions of the middle and lower-level officials in the port. It would be unwise to cause trouble again at this time, not to mention Alcorns The Earl had not yet decided to completely oppose the Silver Queen. At this critical moment, Brando was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he had to arrange the battlefield at sea.

But he wasn't afraid that Rodney would run away.

The battleship prepared by Rodney was one of the few fast ships in the Imperial Navy, but it was a pity that such a conspicuous battleship was docked in the port. It was difficult not to notice it when the Eruin people took over the port. Marjorie immediately put it This conspicuous warship reported to Charles - naval warships rarely operate alone, especially such fast ships are usually used to deliver messages or perform special tasks - they quickly followed the clues to find out about the Rodney faction. There were clues about the messenger heading to Port Fatan. In fact, it was through this method that they learned the information about this convoy.

Therefore, Brando had already arranged for someone to tamper with the ship, replacing the quality of the magic crystal used as the power source of the floating battleship, and also removed some of the spare sails. Rodney was eager to leave the port, and as expected, he did not check carefully—— In fact, I didn't expect to check it, because the battleship has been docked in the port. Who would come to trouble the Imperial Navy? And all of this has already been doomed for him.

Three Buga floating battleships with red sails disguised as imperial patrol ships left the port early and were waiting for the arrival of Rodney's ship in the outer sea.
