Arendelle.

Sauron sat quietly in the corner of the Brass Furnace Tavern, and after about half an hour, the cold man he had met appeared here. Compared to the last time they met, this time his expression was more respectful, and there was even a hint of panic and fear, as if he didn't dare to look Sauron in the eyes.

"Your Excellency."

He leaned over slightly and handed a sealed text to Sauron, and said in a deep voice, "This is what you want." ”

Sauron nodded and stretched out his hand to take it, then opened it and glanced at it quickly, and said slowly: "Has the attack begun?" It looks like Prince Hans will soon retreat. ”

"You can help me deliver another order."

"The fleet of the southern island nation has been hit hard, and I need them to gather the enemy in the Dark Tide Strait and inflict heavy damage on the fleet of the southern island nation."

The cold man immediately nodded yes, then glanced at Sauron, and when he saw that he had no other orders, he sped away.

At all costs.

The order given above is to befriend the pirate king as much as possible, and his energy is also favored by the thieves' guild.

………………

The next day.

Dragonbone Island is in shambles, the harbor is half destroyed, and many warships need to be repaired.

Prince Hans stood near the harbor and watched this qiē, with a deep frustration on his face, and the mere ghost ship made him feel a kind of weakness and powerlessness to make himself so wolfish.

Hurried footsteps rang out.

The figure of the high-ranking warlock appeared behind him, and before he could get closer, he had already said anxiously: "Your Royal Highness! Big things are wrong! ”

"This is a message sent by the kingdom using teleportation."

Hearing the words of the high-level warlock, Prince Hans felt a sigh in his heart, the caster had the teleportation technique of the five rings, so he had always maintained close ties with the Southern Kingdom. He reached out a little anxiously to take Wen Jiàn, and after a little glance, his face was pale, as if he had been hit hard, and muttered, "Decapitator-Sauron!?" ”

"It turned out that he was the one who attacked us! …… Why would he attack us!? …… Why would he help Arendelle? ”

The high-ranking warlock looked at Prince Hans's pale face, reached out and touched him, and said anxiously: "Your Royal Highness! Now the point is not why Sauron the Decapitator is attacking us! But the situation in the kingdom is already bad! Our coastline is completely lost, the enemy is running rampant in our waters, and all along the coast is subject to attack! ”

"His Majesty the King, let's retreat at once! ……”

Without the ability to go to sea to fight, the pirate warships could directly shell the cities along the coast, and now the entire southern island nation is in a panic, especially since many gods have begun to fall silent, and the priest cannot even pray for the help of the temple after receiving no response. The pirates from the South Coast were like Vikings invading Europe, looting wherever they could, like locusts crossing the border.

"Withdraw...... Fall back! ……”

Prince Hans's face turned pale and he muttered, "Order the whole army to retreat." ”

The attack on Arendale ended in failure, all the plans became a dream, and the original purpose of blocking the northern route to open up the west coast also completely failed. Prince Hans could imagine how much he would be blamed upon his return, the nobles would blame him, the kingdom would blame him, and the brothers whom he had fought so hard to defeat would probably have begun to plot a comeback, and in the end he might not even be able to keep the throne he inherited.

"Go back!"

Prince Hans's expression gradually recovered, and he said solemnly, "You must go back first!" As long as I inherit the throne, I can make a comeback! ”

"The army is still in my hands, and there is still a chance."

Speaking of which, his expression distorted slightly, as if he was planning something.

He stared at the high-ranking warlock behind him, and said with a somewhat hideous face, "I want to see that sea witch!" I've done what I agreed, and she must help me ascend to the throne as promised! ”

Hearing Prince Hans's words, the high-ranking warlock's face changed slightly, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Your Royal Highness. ”

"I'll talk about this later."

………………

Arendelle, Royal Palace.

Princess Anna looked at the bearded general in front of her with surprise on her face, and said in disbelief: "What? Are you saying that the enemy retreated? ”

"Yes."

The Ice Witch, who was standing next to her, nodded, "We have been monitoring the nearby seas and can be sure that they are retreating. ”

"Great!" Princess Anna stood up with joy.

Then, with a hint of worry and sadness on her face, she murmured, "Is it him?" Why didn't he come to see me? ”

"Does he hate me that much?"

"Did you come here, but you won't even see me?"

Hearing Princess Anna's sad words, the others next to her looked at each other, and finally it was the Ice Witch who spoke, "Your Highness the Princess." Word has come that the pirates of the South Coast have attacked the southern islands, and I am afraid that it is the Lord Sauron who is secretly helping us! The enemy also retreated in a hurry because of the attack from the rear! ……”

Princess Anna nodded a little dazedly when she heard this, and muttered, "Really? ”

"Then why didn't he come to see me?"

There was a rush of footsteps.

At this moment, one of the guards suddenly rushed up and shouted, "Oh no! Quiet...... Ghost Ship! …… A ghost ship has appeared in the harbor! ……”

Everyone looked up in disbelief when they heard this.

Princess Anna rushed out directly and ran towards the position of the port.

"Let's go!"

The captain glanced at the others and quickly followed, and soon they caught up with Her Royal Highness the princess who was trotting ahead.

The harbor of Arendale was filled with a fog.

Through the fog, you can see a black battleship docked in the distance, with a black hull, black sails, and a black flagpole, just by looking at it, people can feel deep pressure.

A large black shadow roamed around the ghost ship.

No ship dared to approach it, and everyone looked in awe and fear.

"Sauron!! ……”

Princess Anna stared at the black battleship in the distance, and for some reason, tears fell, and she put her little hand to her mouth and shouted forward, "Is that you?!!! ……”

There was no response.

The dark ghost ship seemed to be empty, and it stopped near Arendelle's harbor for a moment, then faded into the fog.

The clouds are gone.

The bright sun shone down on the rich and beautiful city in this land of ice and snow, and all the qiē seemed to be back to normal.

The clouds of war are receding.

The mysterious disappearance of the eldest princess did not bring the rich kingdom to ruin, because they knew that there was another person, another figure, guarding this place.

Guarding the hostess here!

Maybe he didn't show up, but she believed he would show up again when she needed him.

Because that's his promise!
