February 24, half past one o'clock in the evening

Footsteps kept ringing on the quiet streets, and a group of four people were rushing to the port without stopping

(It's strange, obviously there is an absolute advantage in numbers, but why don't you even have a chaser) Chongzai thought to himself (Is there an ambush at the port?) But it doesn't matter, today's spell list has been updated, as long as there are less than fifty people, you can force a breakthrough)

"It's almost time to get to the port, hold on a little longer," Valudo began, saying this to Hiraga Saito, because the excessive running consumed a lot of his physical strength, but there was no way, and the horses were all crushed to death

"Ha, haven't you arrived yet?" asked Hiraga Akito, gasping for air

"It's here" Varudo ran into the steps of a building, and began to climb the stairs

"Don't you say it's going to sea! I'm airsick! Hiraga shouted

"Airsickness? What machine? Louise glanced back at him, "Hurry up, what are you doing standing there stupidly"

Ten minutes later

"What is this" Hiraga looked at the scenery in front of him and forgot his tiredness for a while, and Chong also looked at the scene in front of him in surprise

The huge tree stretched out in all directions, and its body was as long as Tokyo Tower in the night, and when they looked closely, they also noticed something huge hanging between the branches, which they thought was fruit, but it turned out to be a boat, shaped like a flying ship, but the ship did not have wings on either side, but just hung between the branches

"This is your dock? And then the boat on top? It took a long time for Hiraga to come back to his senses and asked

"yes, aren't your guys over there different from us?" Louise was surprised

"Well, we're driving on the sea over there," Hiraga nodded

"Aren't they all the same, we have them here too" Louise walked up to the branch, "hurry up and keep up, it's too late"

"Turuk, will they be fine," Hiraga muttered

"Go up" pushed him

Fifteen minutes later

During the "ship" period, because Hiraga was too tired, so Chonghe and he delayed on the way, and when they finally reached the port, Varudo had already lowered the mooring rope, and a man next to him who obviously looked like the captain was smiling

"I'm so happy to be woken up in the middle of the night," Hiraga complained

"Because he bought all the goods on the ship," Chong guessed

"Huh~" The sails were unfurled, and the ship carrying a large amount of cargo set sail from the pier in this way, and then flew straight towards Abiang

Chong dipped a little of the powder that leaked through the crack in the box, and stared at it a few times

"Do you want to rub it with your hands?" Hiraga reminded

"Brimstone" Chong wiped his hands, "It seems to be a material for the battlefield"

"Well, and it's for the new nobles" Varudo, who heard him, nodded, "It seems that the prince is already in danger"

"Since this ship dares to blatantly send supplies to the new nobles, then presumably the port has all been lost" Chong stood up, "but the war is not over yet, and there is still hope that the letter will be returned"

"You look very positive," Valudo chuckled

"It's just that I just want to finish the task quickly" Chong leaned on the railing of the boat and looked out, not feeling the wind, but it must be cool

“？” The ship is supposed to be all wooden, but why is there a sound in my ears that can only be made by the friction of steel?

Chong looked around vigilantly, and then he noticed a cloud slowly drifting towards him beneath the hull

There is no dinghy on this ship, and now it is too late to escape

"Captain! There are boats approaching in the clouds below starboard! "The crew's vigilance was high, so they also quickly noticed that the clouds were flowing in the wrong direction

Perhaps it was the commotion on the ship that was discovered, and the ship that relied on the clouds to hide itself surfaced from the clouds, and the black hull covered in tar looked like a military ship

"Boom!" There was a loud bang on both sides of the ship, and more than twenty huge cannons stretched out from the inside of the hull at the same time

"Wow, there's a cannon too," Hiraga said with a stupid sigh

"The ship of the new nobles, that might still be saved," Louise frowned

“？” Chong suddenly noticed a strange color flashing in Varudo's eyes, as if he had seen something he shouldn't have seen

"Without thinking too much, it would be too unreliable to doubt people with just one look

"Is it a ship carrying goods for the Abiexpensive clan?! If so, let us know! The captain's answer was simply terrible, not only revealing his identity, but also stupidly asking the other party if it was a cargo ship, whose cargo ship would be a special warship!

There was no response, and the other party just slowly approached the ship

"Captain! That ship has no flag! The crew reminded in a panic, "It could be an air thief!" ”

"It's really the worst news, it seems that they are taking advantage of the civil strife to make a fortune," the captain straightened the brim of his hat with a blue face, "Prepare for the enemy to board the ship"

"Click!" The warship soon approached, and in the noise of erecting planks, a dozen middle-aged men with scimitars on the opposite side soon came to the ship with ease

"Who's the captain?" asked the man who looked to be the leader on the other side of the question, his eyes didn't seem to be very good, wasn't he the only one here wearing a captain's hat?

"I," Captain said, holding back his fear, and raised his hand

"What's on board, what's the name of the ship," the leader slapped the captain's cheek with his scimitar with contempt

"Mary of Trestein. USS Grant. The cargo is sulfur," the captain replied honestly

"We don't have many firearms, what kind of sulfur do we need," Chong heard a sigh from among the air thieves

(Not going to sell but going to use?) Chong was surprised in his heart, why? Do air thieves still need brimstone?

"Hmph, then I bought all the goods here, and the price is your lives" The leader sneered and took off the captain's hat, and then put it on his head

"Huh? Take a closer look at the guests of the nobility here, huh? The leader soon noticed Louise, who was standing behind the captain, "Pretty good-looking."

"Hey, beauty, would you be interested in being a maid on our ship?" The leader asked as he lifted Louise's jaw lightly

"Fuck off," Louise said angrily

"Quite a puff of temper!" The chief fell before he could finish his words

Chong withdrew the fist that had reached deep into his abdomen

"Boy, you're so kind!" Someone immediately raised a knife and threatened to cut himself

(too skilled to look like someone untrained at all) looked at his opponent's arm, and then punched him in the face as soon as he waved

"Cut this guy is so good at fighting," the other party wiped his nosebleed and said, "Hey! Be careful, this guy is a hard stubble."

"No matter how hard the stubble is, it can't be hard for us!" Three more people rushed out of the crowd at once

"Chong" Hiraga hurriedly wanted to draw his sword and step forward to support, but he was forced by Valudo's shoulder and could not move

"Don't be impulsive, it's okay to be alone, if even you go up, they'll fire" Valudo said calmly, "can't go up"

"Boom!" There was a muffled thud in the abdomen, and then another person covered his stomach and collapsed

"This guy is too good to fight," the air thieves glanced at each other, and then five or six more people came out one after another to surround Chong in their circle

Chong stared at the cannon on the opposite ship, or no one was going to fire the cannon to demonstrate, why save so much?

"Don't waste time" Just as they were about to pounce on Chong together, the leader-like man just now had already climbed up and grabbed Louise's hand, "Hey, boy, you are very good at fighting, but I advise you to surrender quickly, or be careful of more scars on her face"

Chong raised his hands in surrender

"Tie it up!" Five or six people immediately knocked Chong down and tied him up

"Let's see if he has a small sword or dagger or something," the leader spoke again

"Boom!" Hearing this, Chong immediately kicked a person away, and then knocked another person down with a hard bang

"This bastard!" Someone kicked him in the abdomen, and then someone raised a wooden stick and hit him hard in the head

"Tsk" shook his head vigorously and did not faint

"Don't resist!" The leader patted Louise on the cheek with a curved knife, "Or I'll cut this woman!" ”

"Didn't resist again

"Hold on!" Perhaps he was afraid that he would make trouble again, but this time the leader did not ask for someone to search his body again: "Tie me up with chains!" Send two more people to keep an eye on me! ”

"Chong!" Louise let out a small wail from her mouth

Without speaking, Chong was escorted to the ship by them in silence

"Guys! Put everyone on board! This is a great opportunity for a ransom! ”

"Oh!!" Cheers rang out from the ship, and the crew was escorted to the ship one by one, dejected

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of captivity

"Chong," Louise sighed in the corner, "Why are you so desperate?"

"Louise? Are you crying? Hiraga asked

"No, the master can't cry in front of the demon" Louise wiped the corner of her eyes with her sleeve, "Shut up, don't ask again"

"You're Louise's betrothed, aren't you?" Hiraga turned to look at Varudo, "Do you know what to do?" ”

Varudo nodded, then walked over to Louise and whispered to her

"I can't be stunned all the time" Hiraga glanced at the prison and found a powder keg (why do you put powder kegs in prison)

"Good! That's it! Hiraga let out a small sound of excitement

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of detention

"Who is the captain of your ship," Chong said indifferently

"None of your business, be quiet" The lean-looking air thief next to him raised his hand and shook it, as if threatening himself

"We are the ambassadors of Trestein, and now we are here to support King Abion's party"

"That's really not a coincidence, we are empty thieves who help the noble faction hunt down and kill the people of the royal party, and now it seems that you will not survive" He was not even surprised, he just smiled

"Then why are you using Kingdom ships?"

"Stupid, snatch it down, of course"

"There are powder kegs all around, not to mention the treasure trove, I haven't even seen a single gold coin, and besides, your warships are full of weapons and food at all, as an air thief, why do you need a lot of weapons and food" Chong Leng said in a cold voice, "Everyone is a professionally trained soldier, you are not an air thief, you are a royal army"

"You guy is really cranky," he sneered, "Lao Tzu used to be the kingdom's army, but then the prince was defeated, and we followed as deserters."

"I see, it looks like Abiang's lion badge has really been insulted," Chong sneered, "Presumably your prince has already run away, and my princess still praises him so much."

"You kid want to use the agitation method?"

"I'm just expressing my displeasure with an air thief who even had to carry the national flag to escape," Chong said coldly, "and after tearing the national flag to pieces, I took it as an inside. Does the clothes feel good? ”

"It's good to see it in the fight just now, for the sake of you who love to think so much, I'll take you to our head" He pulled the rope "This way"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― dividing line of conversation

"Go in" rudely pushed himself into the room, then locked the door hard

The bushy black beard, the blindfold, and the crooked black hair, and the head in front of him are simply a perfect reproduction of the pirates, but there is still a hint of aristocracy on the face

"You're the one who's been making a lot of noise outside?" In a very loud voice, the other party stopped what he was doing and turned to himself, "It's very kind, and you dare to hurt my subordinates?" ”

"Hello, Prince of Wales," Chong bowed

"Are you a fool, where does Lao Tzu look like royalty?" He laughed and said, "Be careful, Lao Tzu will destroy you with one shot!" ”

"No matter how vulgar it is, it will only make jokes," Chong said indifferently, "You might as well take off your disguise and have a fair negotiation."

"Smack!" Forcefully threw the matching sword on the table, "Okay! Give me another try! ”

"The handwriting is beautiful, and the way you hold the pen also reflects that you have been highly taught" Chong said, "The person just now intends to salute you when he goes out, and his eyes are straight and looking ahead, presumably the portrait covered by the curtain should be that of His Majesty the King, and the ring on your hand matches that of the princess of our country."

"Your Royal Highness, are you really not going to talk about it?"

"Heh, it seems that I still can't hide it" He smiled bitterly, "No way, there are too many documents to sign, so I can't break this habit, and my father's portrait and this ring can't be taken off."

"Then allow me to introduce myself again," he said, tearing off his beard and wig, revealing his intact eyeballs under the blindfold, and his voice became clearer

"I am the commander of the kingdom's army, and even though I say this, I can only command the three hundred men of the Eagle," he chuckled, "the crown prince of the Kingdom of Abion, Wales. Tudor, now formally meet with the ambassador sent by the Kingdom of Trestein and his companions."

"Please let me know, I will give the best answer on behalf of the Kingdom of Abion!"

"I" Chong's words were interrupted by a sudden explosion before he could finish his words

"There was an explosion in the prison!! The hull is leaky!! ”

"Hurry up and help, !!"

"Is this a military attack?" Wales asked, twitching the corners of his mouth

"No, I don't know" Chong was already messy

The end result was that they were able to avoid the sinking of the ship through an overnight repair
