Chapter 544: Antecedents
Although Chen Mo didn't count them, the number of people who got off this big ship was definitely more than twice as many as those in the camp. There are also some familiar faces among them, who seem to be the pirates they recruited at the beginning, and they should all be the backbone of this pirate group.
dismissed a number of idlers, including Bahamut, an opportunist. Chen Mo and Hilfo, as well as Barbarossa and Sylvia, entered the conference hall.
After a general conversation, Chen Mo had already learned that the former captain of the palace guard in front of him was the one who protected the safety of the eldest princess along the way, although he belonged to Sylvia's subordinates from his position, he was actually equivalent to Sylvia's godfather, and he watched her grow up since he was a child.
Therefore, the military rank in front of him is as high as 10 ranks, and the next rank is equivalent to the level of deputy army commander, so he would rather protect Sylvia at the cost of treason.
According to Sylvia, since the death of her father, Gusta the Great, there have been huge problems in the change of power, the biggest obstacle of which is the regent Claudius.
These secret histories of the kingdom will not be recorded even in books, and Chen Mo listened to Sylvia's narration with interest.
Sylvia: "As the most effective assistant of the previous kings, and the most loyal courtier, Lord Claudius has always been diligent. It's just that a year ago, after the death of the first king, all this changed.
Perhaps it was because he was given too much authority during his lifetime, which made the new king's accession to the throne not go smoothly. Desire breeds jealousy, jealousy breeds suspicion, suspicion brings contradictions, and the contradictions between the two make the entire human kingdom crumbling......"
Immediately after, Chen Mo heard a series of shocking but reasonable news.
For some unknown reason, Claudius suddenly changed her mind a year ago. The whole person became gloomy and moody, and his behavior became absurd, and he began to hold some strange parties among the nobles of Oslod.
At first, it was not only affected by the nobles who had a close relationship with him, but as time went on, the entire aristocratic circle of Oslod became strange.
Instead of being proud of their conversations, manners, and honors, people began to compare food, clothing, and all sorts of strange forms of entertainment. Chen Mo has also heard a little about the things during this period, because after entering the second expansion pack of the game, the changes in Oslod can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
Sylvia continued: "And, more than that......"
Behind Claudius's crazy pleasures is Sylvia's own brother, the current king Smolan? Gusta's great dissatisfaction. Soon after his coronation, the new king sadly discovered that it was not he who really held the power of the empire. The fall of royal power is unacceptable to any emperor.
Under a series of New Policies and reforms, Smallland gradually began to take power with the help of his limited supporters. And Claudius, who was originally in power, didn't seem to care about all this happening, but began to go on a carnival.
Småland is also ready to take advantage of this opportunity to speed up the change of power and kick Claudius out of the core power. But just as everything was going on in an orderly manner, the facts still proved that the new king was still too immature and naïve.
Claudius's counterattack came fiercer than anyone expected, first several of Småland's staff and cronies disappeared, and then even the Marshal of the Empire and several army commanders disappeared, just when the situation took a turn for the worse and everyone thought that Claudius was planning to usurp the throne.
Småran was helped by a mysterious figure to save the day, but similarly, since then, Småland has also become perverse and violent, and the two sides have begun to fight each other.
What happened later, Chen Mo was very clear.
Marshal Windsor returns and uncovers Presto's conspiracy, but Presto manages to escape, leaving behind a battered Oslod. After this battle, both Smolan and Claudius were devastated, and they became depressed and depressed, and stopped their series of crazy behaviors.
At this juncture, the war that swept through the Lingshi Continent was tantamount to adding insult to injury, but it also made the royal family and the nobles who were about to fall apart reach a short-term cooperation.
After listening to these secrets told by Sylvia, Chen Mo felt that the core of all the events seemed to be concentrated on a mysterious person, whether it was Claudius or Smollan's sudden change, it seemed to be related to someone he had met, and this person might be Presto.
As the eldest princess of the empire, Sylvia ran away precisely to find out the truth of the matter, but the situation was more complicated than she imagined. originally thought that the travel plan was foolproof, but I didn't know where the flaws were exposed, and it didn't take long for it to be surrounded and intercepted by unknown forces.
After several interceptions, Sylvia returned to Oslod with the help of Droscher, but the two men were attacked with unprecedented ferocity on their so-called territory, and had no choice but to leave by boat. And the ship chosen by the two of them happened to be the giant ship outside the harbor that had not yet been completely built.
Fortunately, Droscher still has some connections, and there are still many soldiers and craftsmen who are willing to follow him, otherwise, even this ship will not be able to leave. A group of more than 100 people sailed to the vast sea. Just when everyone thought they had gotten out of trouble, they were besieged and killed again at sea.
In battles at sea, masters in the general sense are no longer useful, and those who pursue them clearly understand this. But it is obviously not so easy to dispatch a legendary-level powerhouse, so sinking Sylvia's ship will be the best choice.
A total of three warships took part in the pursuit, one of which was from the German navy of Oslo, and the other two were warships of other races. Since Sylvia's half-finished ship was not equipped with enough artillery, it would inevitably be sunk once caught up by the other side.
But at this juncture, another team appeared on the sea, all four ships with black sails, and began to attack the three ships that pursued them. After a hard battle, all the opposing ships were captured, and three ships with black sails were sunk. But it is a pity that not a single prisoner was caught, and during the broadside battle, the other party saw that there was no hope of escape, and rushed to the pirate ship with gunpowder tied to it with a suicidal attack, which caused these pirate ships to be sunk so much.
Needless to say, these pirate ships with black sails must have been Barbarossa, and if you count the number, their diving ship should not have gone at that time. In this way, it is exactly the same as the ships docked in the port, and it also happens to explain the origin of these warship-standard ships. And the guys on the island who wore naval uniforms should be the sergeants and craftsmen who followed Droscher in the first place.
