279. Vicious Thorn Blade

As a deep-rooted member of the aristocratic family, it is an innate right and duty to protect the glory and prestige of the Stewart family. It is difficult to give a specific yardstick for this kind of thing, and it requires more words and benefits in peacetime, and more responsibility and obligation in wartime.

I am Sebodin Stewart, the younger brother of Mary Stewart, and the uncle of Princes James and Charlie. Of course, Elizabeth Tudor that old virgin is my cousin—there is no doubt about it.

For decades, the Tudors held a firm grip on England and Ireland, leaving only Scotland to us the Stewarts.

What is she when we are? Pastoral caretaker? Or a gardener in the backyard? Is this a piece of cheese to support our Stewart family?

You know, our Stewart family's inheritance is only after the Tudor family, so why can their Tudor family occupy the rich England and Ireland, and our Stewart family can only feed horses in Scotland?

We are not convinced! While we admit that Cousin Elizabeth is doing a good job, and England and Ireland are thriving under her rule, so what?

Even if it is a precious treasure, as long as it is someone else's, it is worthless!

So since our grandfather's generation, we Stewart family have been working hard. We're going to take the royal power from Tudor! Let Stewart's last name be engraved on every monument at Buckingham Palace!

We've come up with a lot of ways, I mean, many, many ways. We use the power of three generations to play the role of troublemaker. We bribed law enforcement officers and caused many unjust, false and wrongful cases; We have the source of infectious diseases on the farm, so that the farmers have no harvest!

We take advantage of the contradictions between the Celestial Episcopals and Calvinists to fan the flames and create trouble. But—but my cousin, who never married, coped well! After these things, the country has become more united and stable!

Damn, she's just a woman, why does she have such a strong concentration? I don't accept it, I don't believe it!

If you don't mess it up internally, we'll start from the outside!

We used the connections of my sister's uncle and mother, François de Lorraine, Duke of Guise, and his sister's sister, Marie de Guise, to get in touch with the conservatives in France – which also enabled my sister to inherit the throne of the Scots.

Although this is not quite right, although it was replaced by my nephew after a while.

But it has strengthened our Stewart family and stabilized our authority.

The meat must be left to rot in the pan!

We are also openly and covertly instigating the relationship between Britain and Spain, and although Britain is growing, it is still fragile compared to a giant like Spain. But this old woman still carried it strongly! Damn it!

So we want to solve the problem with the simplest solution, and that is - get rid of her! Wave after wave of Assassins were sent out, but they were like a stone in the sea! Why was Elizabeth Tudor so big in life? Won't that solve her?

I remember one dinner, my cousin and her old man looked at us and said with a smile that her experience in counter-assassination could be made into a textbook, and her experience could be written into a script and put in the theater to perform in an opera!

That's a chilling statement!

So we had to think of something else! Since James inherited the Scottish throne, he has become closer to Elizabeth, but he has alienated us closest relatives! He warned us many times, stop it!

But how is this possible? We will definitely succeed!

Charlie was very enthusiastic. The half-brother of James, or the illegitimate son of the Stewart family, is nothing compared to his brother, so he wants to fight for change!

We have to find a clean knife! A knife that has never been stained with any trace of the Stewart family! It is said that Charlie has searched far, far away, certainly far farther than Columbus's great liar and miserable decrepit boy!

It is said that he found a woman in the Far East, who was prominent in the ancient country of the East, but seemed to have suffered some setbacks, so he relied on his family's military background to go to sea!

Although the motive is very simple, her strength is very strong, so Cha Li lured her to England and made her the murderous knife! When you're done, destroy the knife in the right way!

The plan was perfect, and Charlie began to take the * approach to the woman surnamed Lee, but the woman was very loyal to her fiancé, and Charlie had no chance of succeeding. It's ridiculous, why don't you just be together with such love?

So Charlie began to use other means - he told her that in England there was the medicine she needed to cure her father's illness. I admit that this is a bit despicable, making full use of the helpless woman's love for her family.

However, Charlie's lowly bloodline, which belonged to an illegitimate child, caused him to make a mistake halfway through, and he was actually discovered by the other party! Damn it! Although the United Spaniards sniped the woman and her fiancé in Africa, it did not help our core interests!

On the contrary, this bullish oriental fiancé didn't know how to get Elizabeth's approval, but instead soared! Charlie was also exposed, and this definitely has something to do with people from the East! Didn't I see Charlie killed on the front foot, did this Oriental man make a fortune on the back foot?

It seems that our plan to deal with Elizabeth with the help of the Orientals has been exposed! And instead, they were co-opted by Elizabeth and became a sharp blade for her!

No way! She must not be allowed to succeed! I will take advantage of this Oriental's unstable foothold and nip him in the bud in one fell swoop!

I heard that he is going to conduct some kind of exercise in the North Sea, this is the best opportunity!

However, this cunning guy took advantage of the unpreparedness and left suddenly!? The shipping officer of the port only saw him lead a fleet of five ships out of the Thames Canal, but he did not know where he went!

Damn it! So we can only gather our strength and catch up all the way!

I had eleven ships with me, not too large, but at least all medium-sized ships above Karak. In this way, although the other side's ships are more advanced than ours, we have an absolute advantage in numbers!

If you have a heart or not, you will definitely be able to sink him in the depths of the sea!

Sailing out of the Thames Canal, the fleet began to assemble. Instead of wearing the camouflaged flag as before, the Stewart family emblem and flag have been uniformly replaced!

Actually, I would have preferred not to have flown any flags, but with Elizabeth's connivance, these British captains have become pirates! I'm afraid that if we don't hang, we haven't found the Orientals yet, and we will be wiped out by the British first with a clear pretense of confusion!

After Southend in Essex, we headed north, and soon we passed through Suffolk and Norfolk in a hurry, and began to head north along the western end of the North Sea!

According to my guess, since it is an exercise, he will not go too far, and the most likely is to follow the prime meridian all the way to the north, and after reaching a certain latitude, he will exercise in an open sea.

He's not going to go to the North Pole! Haha, believe he's not stupid. As for going directly to the new continent now, it is even more impossible, it is too hasty, the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea are not the backyard of the royal family, and if you are not fully prepared, you are looking for death!

We headed north at full speed, and when we reached a near-Newcastle dimension, there was no shadow of the Oriental fleet, and the British privateer fleet had seen quite a few.

Yesterday night we met Baron Frank's fleet, which seemed to want to go to the vicinity of Northern Europe to ambush the fleet returning from the Far East. According to him, a flotilla was seen going north five hours ago! The fleet was small, but the shapes of the ships were avant-garde, at least something he had never seen before.

Moreover, the flag of the British royal family is flying on the ship! Isn't this the arrogant Oriental, and who is it? They went north, and it seemed that they were planning to go straight north, beyond British territory, and exercise on the high seas at the junction of the Atlantic and the North Sea!

The direction is right, we must hurry up to catch up with this oriental! Elizabeth's minions must all die! According to Frank, the Oriental fleet seemed to be friendly, and offered to wave a flag as a sign of friendship when approaching. At that time, Frank had a fire in the kitchen of one of the ships, and smoke was rising, and the other party was concerned about whether he needed help. It seems that this is an area that can be used!

Caught up near Aberdeen, the fleet had traveled faster than seventeen knots by the currents heading north! Even though we couldn't find each other's boats, it seemed that they were at least two hours ahead of us. It doesn't matter, after all, the earth is round - thanks to those geographers and navigators, I have this common sense, otherwise would I really chase him to the ends of the earth?

After chasing for most of the day, they have reached the vicinity of Kirkwall in Orkney. According to the fishermen, a convoy of boats passed by a short time ago. Because of the strong wind in the sea, thunderclouds began to gather in the distance, and the fishermen were worried about the heavy rain, so they called it a day and went back to the city.

Damn the Oriental, why didn't he return? But if he returns, won't we have no chance to do it? Whatever! Keep chasing!

Our ship can only withstand such storms and storms! More than that, it is necessary to eliminate Elizabeth's accomplices, the hateful Orientals!

As we continued north, the coastline grew farther and farther away from us, and as I watched the clouds thicken and thicken, a plan began to emerge in my mind......

On May 28, 1584, before the rainstorm, there was a strong wind! We've been more than eighty nautical miles out of the coastline, and there's still no Oriental to look at! Continue north? I'm struggling. What if he changed direction? Or, where to take shelter from the rain?

Impossible, a temporary change of course is dangerous in such a sea area, let alone in such weather! They must still be up to the north!

Continue north! Northward!

Our fleet had been heading north for another hour and a half, and the clouds were almost overhead, and we finally saw the fleet of our dreams in the distance at the limit of sea level—the new fleet of the Orientals!

But they ...... They're fighting the Spaniards! Their opponents are eight Calais clippers! Flying the flag of the Spanish Navy, the ships of the Orientals were bombarded fiercely!

It seems that the new ships of the Orientals are mainly white-knuckle warfare, and there are not many artillery shots, but they are pursuing the opposing Calais clippers in every possible way! It's almost impossible!

This is not a drill! This is definitely not a drill! I watched the shells continue to bombard the ships of the Orientals, and I had a glimmer of enlightenment in my heart! Looks like someone did it before us! I thought to myself.

Go help them! Helping the Spaniards, of course! But we can't be so obvious, we must think of a perfect strategy to achieve the goal, and we will not become the finger of the thousands of people in the country!

It seems that the only way to do this is to help the Spaniards destroy the Orientals first, and then help the Orientals to take revenge!

Wha! That's it!
