It's July, and the sun is shining brightly over North Bay. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe summer sea breeze blows through the port of Giant Demon Island, colorful flags and white sails are displayed, and the air is filled with the smell of celebration.

The sea near the harbor was crowded with ships from the twelve city-states of the Bend League, and colorful flags were hoisted on the masts. These fishing boats and merchant ships had come to participate in the grand "parade" to commemorate the conquest of the Giant Demon Island, and from now on there would be no pirates in the North Bay, and it would indeed be a day to celebrate for all decent people who begged for a living at sea.

The naval fleet of Hakugull Harbor was passing through the viewing area, and on the deck of the flagship "Yangbo", a military band in snow-white uniforms played a majestic march, and the rumbling gun salute pushed the atmosphere of the celebration to a climax.

All the ships that came to watch the ceremony sounded their whistles, and the seafarers and passengers spontaneously applauded and paid their heroes.

The "Dawn" airship accompanied the fleet at a low altitude, and the sun cast a golden rim on this feat, who played a great role in the war, and cast a shadow on the bridge of the "Yangbo".

"Salute!"

The hatches of the "Dawn" were all open, and a group of overly young crew members, led by Yelena Kuntiliang, saluted the military in front of the review ship, and the gale blew in their faces, and these aviation units, who had never received formal military training and had only urgently enlisted in the army half a month ago, did not change their faces, like veterans of a hundred battles, until the cheers of their families came from the crowd watching the ceremony, and they waved excitedly to the air, and these young boys and girls who had experienced the test of war finally could not hold back their tears......

In this festival of triumph, the atmosphere in the chief review ship is particularly solemn. The bridge hall was temporarily used as a conference room for an important meeting aimed at redrawing the balance of power in the North Gulf, with Lyubov and plenipotentiaries from the city-states of the Bend League, as well as the Allied Naval Commander Victoria Yamabo and Chief of Staff Sir Doug, Roland Kolas the only one in the room who was not from the Bend League.

The venue fell into an eerie silence, which seemed to be a fire and ice compared to the warm atmosphere of the celebration outside the window. Because of a decision just announced by Lyubov, Mr. Roland Kolas, who was originally regarded as a "soy sauce" by the parliamentarians, became the focus of the meeting, and the gaze on his face implied various emotions, including jealousy, suspicion, anger, confusion, and half-truths.

"Lady Lyubov, I have no disrespect for Mr. Roland, but with all due respect, your decision has ...... Wouldn't it be a little too sloppy? "Silversail City's comprehensive strength ranks second among the twelve city-states in the Bend Alliance, although the gold content of this second brother is a bit bigger than that of the boss Baiou Harbor, but as the representative councilor of Silversail City, Sir Lavrov feels that it is his duty to stand up and say a few offensive words, "I don't think Mr. Roland has the right to become the new lord of Giant Demon Island!" This is not in the interests of the state and even the whole of the Bende League, and even seriously damages the interests of your state, Baiou Harbor, and I have to implore you to calm down before making a decision! ”

"Yes, Giant Demon Island is the choke point of the North Bay, and its ownership should be decided by our city-states in the North Bay, how can it be handed over to a Southern Yankee rashly, this has seriously damaged the interests of the Alliance, and we in Cold Spring City can't accept it!"

"I agree with Sir Lavrov and Mr. Andrew, Madam Speaker is too impulsive on this issue, and no matter how close and deep your relationship with Mr. Roland is, you should not take the common interests of the Bend-German alliance for personal gain, and this arbitrary practice is contrary to the alliance agreement, and we in Tana City refuse to accept it!"

Lavrov took the lead, followed by other state legislators, who were adamantly opposed to Lyubov's relinquishment of sovereignty over the island to Roland Kolas.

If gaze could kill, Roland's handsome face had now been pierced by the resentful gaze of the councillors, but he didn't care about these boring battles of lips and tongues, he just smiled calmly.

"Gentlemen, allow me to remind you of one thing, that Lady Lyubov is not asking for your opinion, let alone asking for your consent to the bill, but only to inform you of an established fact - as of today, the island of the Giant Demon will be renamed 'Kolas Island' and officially become the personal domain of my Roland Koras."

"Young man, you are not qualified to say such things, eleven of the twelve city-states of the Bend Alliance oppose your occupation of the Giant Demon Island, and your surname will not be useful here!" One parliamentarian said viciously.

Roland looked sideways at the guy who relied on the old and sold the old, and sneered slightly: "Then please tell me, what kind of 'qualifications' do you need to say such things?" ”

"You ......" the man choked on him, hesitated for a moment before puffing out his chest and answering loudly, "If you want to become the lord of the Giant Demon Island, you must be approved by all our city-state representatives!" ”

"This is really interesting, I would like to ask this venerable gentleman, when the Kraken occupied the Giant Demon Island, did it have the authorization of the councilors?"

"That'...... How can that be confused, Kraken is a pirate, a demon, an enemy of the Bend Alliance! ”

"I'm not a pirate, I'm not a demon, I'm not your enemy, so you think I'm a bully?" Roland retracted his smile, his eyes turned cold, and the words he said also carried murderous intent, "The 'Sea Palace' was captured by my companions, I was the first person to set foot on the Giant Demon Island, and I was the first to break into the Coral Palace, half of the twelve demons of Kraken will die under my sword, and Kraken is also killed by my own hands, I defeated the pirates and captured the Giant Demon Island with my own ability, why can't I declare sovereignty?" Where were you when I fought to the death against pirates, and where were your city-states, your warships, and your armies? It's a big joke that you ask me what qualifications I have to rule the Isle of the Trolls, but I'd rather ask you what qualifications you have to dictate in front of me, is your neck stiffer than Maximian's, or is your head stronger than Kraken's? ”

"You...... You threaten me, it's so lawless! A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he looked around at the crowd left and right, trying to pull a few more allies to help him fight Roland's words, but no one responded to him, and they all hung their heads to study the glass of water on the table, as if there was some secret hidden in that little glass of water.

The awkward atmosphere lasted for a long time, and finally Sir Lavrov broke the silence.

"Mr. Roland, you have indeed made a great and irreplaceable contribution to the war to quell the pirates, but you did not sweep the Giant Demon Island alone, this great victory is inseparable from the brave fighting of the naval officers of the Bend League, you have eaten the fruits of victory, worthy of those soldiers who shed blood and died in the war?"
