Chapter 15: Trouble on the Ground

The hustle and bustle of the Mirror Palace had long since dissipated, and although the old emperor was satisfied with the previous trial of martial arts, the threat of the aristocratic faction had not disappeared, and there was no way to endure these acts of forcing the royal family to keep ceding their interests to defend the country and their personal Leah.

But he was no longer young, and his former blood and courage had long been exhausted in betrayal and defeat, and when the old emperor sat on the throne and lamented his misfortune, the attendant old York came with a smile.

"What do you say? Juventus kid, along with Riberico's diplomatic fleet, is back, and will be back in El Calloen in another day? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Second Prince Juventus? His Royal Highness Brittania and the envoys of the Kingdom of Riberia, who had come with him, were about to return, accompanied by a convoy of thirty warships. ”

"Great, just when we were running out of troops, the allies' troops arrived, haha! God bless the Empire! ”

For the old emperor to be so happy, old York has a deep understanding, since the trial of the tournament, His Royal Highness Clovis has been instructed to contend with the aristocratic faction, and other royal families, especially His Royal Highness Josephine, have been ordered not to go out to cause trouble, in fact, they are also protecting them in disguise.

Recently, more and more information has shown that the various ducal families are increasing the number of guards stationed in the imperial capital, and as for the smuggling situation that has been known for a long time, and the infiltration of unknown armed personnel is endless.

In order to deal with the possible violent conflict, the old emperor has used the energy he has to gather the army, but he still can't compete with the other party, at this time, if there is a new force of His Royal Highness Juventus and the mercenaries that His Royal Highness Clovis may find, he may be able to withstand the coercion of the nobles.

Just when the atmosphere in the Mirror Palace became lively, the third prince Clovis, who had high hopes, was worried about the situation of the so-called mercenaries, as the son of the emperor, he had the obligation to defend the royal family, but the royal treasury has not been rich in recent years, the imperial tax revenue is basically controlled by the imperial ministers, only a very small amount of money can be rushed into the treasury, and only less than 10,000 fennig can be allocated to himself, what can this do?

Since entering modern times, the price of mercenaries can be described as high, and it is no longer the same as in the past Dark Ages, where a few hundred gold coins could pull up a thousand-man army, and now it is no problem for Clovis to recruit a thousand-man army with only a thousand pfennigs, so many refugees on the street who have nowhere to eat, only need a stick in their hands and a royal robe, a flag and oats to form an army.

The problem is that such a team has a shit, any musketeer of a hundred, who doesn't need three salvos to destroy this waste, not to mention the abundance of professional soldiers on the aristocratic side, all armed to the teeth and with the help of supernatural powers, maybe a priest or mage's mass fear can destroy a medieval army.

It's such an embarrassing picture, he only has 10,000 fennig, and the army to be recruited must be at least 3,000 people and must be equipped with modern equipment, but the money is so small and the demand is so big, you can't want the horses to run and not give the horses grazing, right?

So when Rogers' first mate came to the door, it stands to reason that the first mate of the pirate fleet should be a capable officer, this is indeed very 'capable', this female adjutant of the elf clan has a plump buttocks **** that surpasses the same clan I don't know how many times, about three hundred years old beautiful woman elf has served almost all the overlords of the storm ocean over the years, even the goblins said that the technology is good, three times five divided by two made the merry third prince dizzy, almost immediately agreed to the other party's request, and then decisively hugged this femme fatale and rolled the sheets, Therefore, such external business personnel are too powerful for the killing ability of males.

"Whew...... Your Highness, you are amazing! ”

"That's right, let me taste my Brittanyan mace!"

"Cool! …… Don't ...... dear. Don't be so fast, what I said before made my people ...... Coming in and out of the port......"

"No problem, I've already told the Port Authority, they will let you go, don't talk about work, baby, try this trick!"

"Ahh

Although it is said that the first mate, the charismatic female foreign affairs commissioner, successfully landed the Rogers pirate group in the port, but the guide arranged by Clovis over there is a bit of a ...... Eyelids jumped.

What should your impression of a pirate be?

Full of rotten teeth, dirty, and with a strong stench, he pulled out a knife and stabbed him without saying a word, yes, this is indeed one of the characteristics of ancient pirates, but in modern times, due to the progress of magic and gunpowder and technology, pirates have become different, especially Rogers's pirates.

Looking at the well-groomed in front of him, his braids and beard were smooth and smooth, he was wearing various helmets and the weapons and ammunition hanging on his body to show that he was an armed man, and the port authority responder could not tell that this was a pirate at all.

"Hey, are you the one sent by His Highness Clovis?"

Dressed in decent clothes, dressed like a civil servant in the imperial capital, if it weren't for the musket and scimitar on his waist, would you see that this was a pirate?

"Yes, but are you really the lady's subordinates?"

"Hey, are you talking about the first mate? Suffice it to say, she was in charge of all the foreign affairs in Rogers' absence. ”

"Hmm...... Wait, Rogers Boss? Are you pirates? ”

This frightened this civil servant, let the pirates log in to the imperial capital port at will, once something happened, his whole family would be wiped out, not to mention himself, it was definitely better to live than die, I am afraid that he will be banished to the lower interface to make dog food for demons and devils.

"Don't look frightened, we're mercenaries who have made an agreement with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, understand?"

"Okay...... But you don't look like pirates. ”

"You think pirates must be sloppy, you are really an antique, our pirates of the stormy ocean are the most groomed, hey, Charlie, where is your hair so smooth."

"It took me thirty gold coins to go to the old Weil beauty shop, and thanks to the fact that I am a regular customer, they gave me an appointment in advance, don't you say that this new Norman pomade is really amazing."

"So you see, we are civilized pirates, and we will never provoke the armed forces under normal circumstances, especially your navy, even if the navy of San Orlando is recognized as rubbish in the world, sorry I am not targeting you but your navy is indeed rubbish."

"Don't care, we all know the Navy is garbage......"

"I'm glad we have the same opinion, so we chose to target the merchant ships that seem to be easier to solve, and the pilgrims, of course, don't provoke the presence of church manpower, those guys are not soft persimmons, holy warriors, priests, priests, and other ghost things, alas, don't talk about it, it's all tears."

"Okay...... What is it that you love cleanliness so much, and robbery also needs to be so troublesome? ”

"Tut-tut, as soon as I heard it, I knew that you didn't have much knowledge." The old pirate ignored the white eyes of the young man of the port authority, and said Kankan: "Most of us come from barren coasts or snowy regions with nothing, and fighting and robbing can give us honor, well, generally no honor, but at least we can feed our children and wives, right?" It's all too common to die in battle, not to mention that we also hope that after dying in battle, we can see our gods with dignity and enjoy the life of the kingdom of God, so ah, we usually have to dress up clean and beautiful before going to the battlefield, hey! Bangarashi your beard is so sexy, where did you get it? ”

"Right here on Kroll Island, the barber there is amazing, and he helped me get my ears plucked for free!"

"I'll try it next time, how much did it cost?"

"It's not much, it's only ten gold coins, good luck."

"You too! See, this is the modern pirate, at least the dashing pirate of the Stormy Ocean, clean and tidy! By the way, how long are we going to stay here? ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'll arrange your room and board right away." The port officer touched the sweat on his head and quickly ran away, and behind him were dozens of pirate ships disguised as merchant ships, entering here one after another, as mercenaries, I really don't know what they will bring to the imperial capital.

When the royal family was preparing for a possible conflict, the aristocratic faction was also not idle, these bastards who ******** pit the country's finances and the ministers of the Imperial Council actively deployed troops, in order to deal with the threat of the Third Legion, the various dukes except for the two lords Koman and Ostertran did not respond, and the other five dukes all sent their own capable troops to quietly approach El Carloen, and on the surface, the First and Second Imperial Legions also obeyed the orders of the military department to go to the vicinity of the imperial capital from their respective defense areas, As for the resulting void in the defenses of the allies and the threat of a possible attack by the Norman legions, it seems that the bigwigs have lost their minds.

In addition, the defeated young man did not show the demeanor of the Bolton family at all, but stayed in his station very low-key, although he did not go out, but it did not mean that there were no small movements.

"So, you so-called Holy Relic Society and the Church of the Holy Blood, want to help me?"

"Yes, Lord Hasil, we know that the royal family of the previous jousting trial insulted you very unreasonably and killed the loyal Lord Mephistopheles, if you can trust us, we will definitely do everything we can to help you."

"So what do you want to do with the other Juventus, that bastard, and the fleet of the Riberians."

Obviously, the royal intelligence secrecy work is really not very good, and it has been mastered by the aristocratic faction in just a few days, the man in black glanced at him, and the guy in charge said: "His Royal Highness Juventus is not difficult for the other party, the second prince who has been studying abroad and doing diplomatic work can be said to have no power in the country, and he is just knowledgeable, and anyone can kill him." ”

"Then leave him alone, don't let people kill him, this guy has other uses for me."

"Okay, then fleet, I think some special devices and potions will give them some interesting changes, if they need to be eliminated......"

"Rogers' people will help us, that idiot of Clovis is still obsessed with the so-called first officer, and he didn't even know that they had been hired by us a long time ago, and the royal family was still so stingy when it came to life and death, I really don't know what the Empress Sylvia would think of her offspring."

"I must be very disappointed, the royal family has lost power, and signed such a humiliating treaty, there is no popular and military support, even the church only provides limited help, and we will definitely not get involved in the chaos afterward, we can act as freely as possible."

"So what do you want when you do this?"

The man in black paused and said slowly: "Sewers, we just want to thoroughly investigate the sewers of the imperial capital. ”

Hasir glanced at the other party carefully, "I didn't expect you to believe that the Giant God Soldiers would hide in the imperial capital, okay...... Then the deal. ”

That's it, the preparations of the parties are slowly in place, and the trouble is getting bigger and bigger.
