"Before that battle, my fleet successfully reached the target sea, but we did not expect that all our food and fresh water would be contaminated and completely unusable. Originally, I had planned to order the fleet to dock at a nearby port for resupply, and it would only take two days to get to the route from a nearby port. But the next afternoon, we were attacked by Villanueva. Alger sighed: "Our soldiers were originally on the sea for a long time, but then they ran out of water and food, ran out of oil, and were attacked by pirates, and with all their might, they could barely resist Villanueva. ”

"Listen to what you mean, do you want me to help you find out who is doing it?" Squinting his eyes slightly, Nangong Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows and said.

"Yes. ”

"You can't help but think too highly of me, I'm just a civilian now, how can I investigate?" Shaking his head, Nangong Yu smiled.

"During this time, I found that there seemed to be a hand inside us that controlled everything, and if I found out who was behind it, I could reorganize the Venetian fleet. Otherwise, the people's hearts will be panicked, which is not conducive to the stability of the political power. Moreover, France is eyeing us, and I am afraid that a war will not be avoided. Alger said in a deep voice.

"I have a question, why did you choose me?"

"As I said, from the moment you stepped into the barracks, I started to pay attention to you, you don't look like a child who is only twelve years old at all. ”

"Why don't you cultivate Massimo, he is your own brother, and it seems that he is more trustworthy. ”

"He can't. Alger shook his head and said with a wry smile: "He and Anna, one for swordsmanship and the other for sea charts, are not of great use. I need someone like you, ruthless and resourceful. ”

"Massimo told you everything. ”

Alger nodded and said, "Although the pirates here are not very powerful, the courage and ability to destroy them all with just six of you, or even with you, really impresses me." ”

Nangong Yu smiled, but he was a little more vigilant in his heart.

Alger continued: "Originally, I would not have come to see you, but now that my father's health is deteriorating, and France is eyeing you, I have to come to see you. As long as you can help me solve the problem I just mentioned, then I will not only allow you to establish your own power here, but at the same time, I will also give you the Southern Cross. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Yu's heart moved slightly, but he deliberately said: "Southern Cross? What is that? What's the use?"

Alger smiled lightly and said, "You joined the barracks just for the Southern Cross, but you never had a chance. I've noticed you since we brought the Southern Cross back, and at sea, I've noticed your strange appearance on your ship, and the burning gaze on the Venetian docks, and I'm sure that this magical Southern Cross must have something to do with you. After that, you appeared in the barracks and became Robert's servant, but with your ability, the servant could not satisfy you. Combined with what you saw before, and when you accompanied Anna to sea, you didn't just join the army for merit, but for the Southern Cross. ”

Nangong Yu was shocked, Alger was really a character, and he could know what he wanted just by simple observation.

"Moreover, I believe that your strength will not be what you are showing now..."For Nangong Yu, who was slightly shocked, Alger said a little slyly.

Sighing, Nangong Yu was slightly silent, thinking to himself, no matter what, Alger is in control of the Southern Cross, and at present, Duke Gallo seems to be in poor health, and now the power is in Alger's hands, and he must get the Southern Cross no matter what. Besides, with Alger's support, maybe his future path will be smoother.

Thinking about these things, Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head to look at Alger who was full of expectation, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

......

Outside, twenty-one soldiers gathered around Massimo, and as soon as they returned to the base, they heard that Alger was coming, and there must be something important, so they rushed to Massimo to inquire about the news without even wiping their faces.

"Mr. Massimo, how is the situation now?"

"Mr. Massimo, we won't go back. ”

"It's been half a month, and I don't know if we're qualified?"

“.........”

“......”

Massimo looked at the group, his brow furrowed slightly, but it was gone. Ever since he killed Maxim, he had told Alger everything that had happened here, but he hadn't told him the exact coordinates of the place. He didn't know why Alger was able to find this place, and now Nangong Yu was talking to Nangong Yu in the room, and he didn't let himself and Anna participate. I don't know what Alger is planning.

This elder brother is recognized as a genius in the family, and he has shown extraordinary talent both in military and political affairs. His wife, Audrey, has shown extraordinary merchandising talents, and Audrey's family is a business-only family with a lot of wealth.

And now, the two of them are in this unfinished place, and they don't know what their plans will be.

Just as Massimo was still thinking, the door suddenly opened, and Alger and Nangong Yu walked out together, the two looked at each other and smiled, but did not say anything.

Anna had also been waiting anxiously outside the door, and when she saw the two of them coming out, she was about to come forward to ask, but was stopped by Nangong Yu's eyes.

Alger said to Massimo "earnestly": "Massimo, it is rare that you have the ability to exterminate the pirates here, from now on, you must take good care of this place and make your contribution to the Republic of Venice." ”

Massimo was a little confused, not quite understanding the meaning of Alger's words.

Alger looked at the rising sun and said to Massimo, "Let your men go look for Audrey, and say that time is running out and we should go." ”

Massimo nodded, and ordered the soldiers on the side to go find Audrey.

......

When Alger and the others left the dock, Massimo and Anna finally couldn't help but ask Nangong Yu, what did you say.

Nangong Yu smiled slightly, did not answer, but directly announced that Massimo and the other soldiers would not train for the time being today and would rest for a day.

That night, Nangong Yu held his first meeting after coming to this world, and the participants were all the forces under Nangong Yu's current command, but a soldier, Massimo, Anna, Jim, Rosa, Anthony, and Marco. The location was in a room where Nangong Yu and Alger were talking during the day, and the time was late at night, which was also the reason why the soldiers were allowed to rest for a day, and Nangong Yu was not allowed to divulge any of the content of this meeting.

For the time being, to have a force, Nangong Yu feels that it is almost enough, and it is not impossible to further expand the strength, but it will inevitably cause people with intentions to chase after them, and the gains outweigh the losses, and this "person with a heart" is the person whom Alger suspects during the day.

In Nangong Yu's eyes, these people will become the core figures of their own group, that is, the high-level. It is necessary for Nangong Yu to understand the background of any one person, and everything they have in themselves.

Nangong Yu and Alger's secret spy almost determined his future direction for Nangong Yu. Through formal contact with Alger, Nangong Yu was infinitely close to the political center of Venice at this time, and instead of "sneakingly" establishing his own base, it was better to form a cooperation with Alger, and with his cover, he could establish his own power unharmed.

As for the people who collaborated with the enemy that Alger requested, this was exactly Nangong Yu's strength as a Jinyi guard. But this is not the main purpose of Alger's visit to Nangong Yu.

Looking at the twenty-eight people in front of him, Nangong Yu's face was cold, his expression was unprecedentedly serious, and everyone couldn't help but get nervous, and their faces were full of solemnity.

"From today onwards, all of us who are doing will truly become a group, and you, from the moment I say this, will truly become my Nangong Yu's people!"

Everyone's breathing was heavy.

"From today onwards, we will improve our power step by step, strengthen our power, and improve our strength, but all of this will be done in secret. Because the opponent we are going to face is the whole Mediterranean, except Venice, all the powerful forces, the powerful existence. ”

"In just over two months, the base will be built, and at that time, your real path to becoming stronger will begin there! I am now twelve years old, and at first glance I still have plenty of time, but in fact, there are undercurrents surging in various countries, and I don't know when war will break out, once the war starts, it will surely sweep the entire Mediterranean, and now, we will face the enemy that is the pirate king of the Adriatic, Villanueva, who claims to be able to compete with the national fleet of Venice. Therefore, after I have really brought you into the door, everything depends on yourselves! If you want to live and enjoy peace and prosperity with me in the future, enjoy the glory and wealth, take it and try your best to improve your strength, and don't let yourself die in the future war!"

After that, Nangong Yu specially looked at Massimo and Anna, and said, "Massimo, I know what you are worried about, I hereby make an oath with you, no matter how strong I am in the future, I will not threaten your Gallo family." ”

Massimo's gaze was fixed, and Nangong Yu, who was staring, nodded silently after listening to his words.

"Anna," Nangong Yu's voice softened a little. "Before, I did have a lot of concerns, lest I hurt you, but now, I, Nangong Yu, can rest assured that we will walk together on the road ahead. ”

In this sentence, Anna's eyes were red, but the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't hide the joy in her heart, as Nangong Yu said, the road ahead, she and he will walk together.

The rest of the soldiers were breathing heavily, their eyes were as wide as bells, and dripping sweat was falling from their heads. Nangong Yu said it to this extent, and he couldn't understand what he meant, that is, there was something wrong with people. Nangong Yu has already said his greatest ambition, he wants to be the uncrowned king of the Mediterranean. Since everyone came here, they have found that Nangong Yu has been enduring something, but they have not understood it, and now, the three sons and heirs of the Gallo family all support Nangong Yu, looking at the posture, Nangong Yu and Anna seem to have some ambiguity. Nangong Yu finally said his ultimate purpose, and everyone understood that the ambition hidden in the heart of the twelve-year-old child in front of him was so huge and amazing.

After saying it seriously, Nangong Yu began to ask the question that had been hidden in his heart and puzzled: "You are from nobles, businessmen, and the army, have you ever heard that there are people in this world who can fly off the wall and have the power of broken stones?"

This thought had existed in Nangong Yu's heart for a long time, and before he met Anna, Nangong Yu had been intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about the news among the people he had come into contact with, but no one could say it. There are even many people who directly replied, no. This gave Nangong Yu the illusion that there was no such thing as martial arts in this world.

It wasn't until Nangong Yu was at the Venice dock that he came into contact with that cold aura, and then met the man in black at sea, that Nangong Yu was shocked to discover that in this world, martial arts and internal force still exist, but for some reason, there are very few people who can have this kind of power, and it will not be easily revealed.

The guard that Anna had said had aroused Nangong Yu's vigilance, that person was clearly a master who could cultivate internal strength, and he was good at hiding traces. What Nangong Yu is strange about is that such a mission obviously exists, why does no one know about it? Also, in this world, how many such characters are there? Where do these people usually hide?

Countless questions filled Nangong Yu's heart, and now Nangong Yu has roughly figured out something, that is, the existence of such a person is a secret, maybe only a very small number of people know about it.

The soldiers looked at each other in a daze, obviously, these soldiers had never seen anything other than the amazing power they had seen from Nangong Yu.

And Massimo and Anna mentioned again that in Venice, in the Gallo family, from the duke onwards, there is a person like this around every heir, although they do not show the strength of Nangong Yu, but the demeanor they show is very consistent with Nangong Yu's description.

Nangong Yu sighed lowly, it seems that this matter will eventually be discovered by himself little by little. Nangong Yu's heart suddenly rose with pride, he was convinced that as long as there was such a task, then there would definitely be clues running around, and with the growth of his strength step by step, these people would appear in his sight sooner or later.

In addition, Nangong Yu faintly felt that in Venice, behind the Gallo family, there seemed to be a huge hand controlling everything, including the Duke of Gallo, as well as Alger, Massimo, Anna, and other nobles under the real world, all of whom were used as pawns. This is just a feeling of Nangong Yu, there is no evidence, no clues, nothing. And what made Nangong Yu feel this way was the mysterious man in black, as well as what Massimo called the "guard".
