Roaring, slashing, flying boulders, Rankaton awoke from his slumber, panting violently.

His adjutant immediately stepped forward: "Your Excellency, you are awake. ”

Rankton glanced at the sky, which was still gray.

"Has the enemy moved?" In order to resist the night attack of the Capetian family, as the commander, he slept in armor at the head of the city, he struggled to get up, and then looked at the cavalry camp below the city.

For the time being, the opponent has no intention of attacking.

But everyone knows that this calm will not last long, as soon as the dawn breaks, the other party will immediately attack.

After a night of emergency repairs, most of the cracks in the city wall have been repaired, although it still looks like it is in tatters, but compared to before, it is much better.

......

"My lord, Rutherf is missing!" Payne said in a tone of great affirmation after breaking into the castle and saluting Rand, "We have searched every corner of the Empty Ferry Territory, but we have found no trace of him!"

Rand felt a little stuffy in his chest, a big living man had disappeared in his castle, and at this time of year, would the Peruvian guys think that he had deliberately lost Luther in order to avoid their pleas?

"Are you sure you've found all the places?" Rand asked, reluctantly.

"I've searched all the mines except in the mud of the river!" Penn gasped.

Now it's too bad!

No one is alive, no corpse is dead.

Rand rubbed his sore eyebrows, "Increase the search area, and look for the mountains and forests around the Kongdu Territory, and the swamp area! Even if it's a corpse or wreckage, bring it back to me!"

"My lord, I don't think I need it!" Touron's voice came from outside the door, his face was gloomy, "Love is missing too!"

Rand looked up suddenly.

Rutherf wants to use the Black Galleon to quell the family's war, and Love wants to play for Ron......

These two people disappeared at the same time, and the fact is self-evident.

"Send cavalry after them at once, and intercept them before they enter Lindong City!" Rand said through gritted teeth.

......

"Lord Love, can you really help me convince Lord Ron?" Luthef sat in the bow of the ship, his face covered by a thick cloak, "I heard that your family has been fighting against other families recently, do you still have the strength to help us in Lindongcheng?"

Rutherf regretted a little at this time, even Rand was unwilling to come to the East City to borrow troops for him, but now this man named Love swore that he would definitely be able to borrow the Black Sailing Fleet for him, how credible was what he said?

Thinking that he didn't even say goodbye to Rand, he followed Love and secretly escaped from the air ferry collar, at which time the air ferry collar did not know how to react.

"Don't worry, the reason why Rand is unwilling to ask Lord Ron for help on your behalf is because he is afraid that Lord Ron will snatch away the benefits that originally belonged to him, if the black sailing ship is dispatched, what benefits can Rand get in this battle?"

"So, from the beginning, you were looking for the wrong person!"

Rutherf calmed down at this time, and was a little apprehensive in his heart, Ron's character and behavior in the sea area are clear, robbing and slaughtering cities, killing people and stealing goods are very skilled, he is a little afraid that Ron will loot after entering the South China Sea, the reason why Ron asked Ron to come forward is to look at the face of the same Capetian family, and not to point the gun at his allies.

"I have heard of the prestige of His Excellency Ron, but it is because of this that I have never dared to take the initiative to go to Lindong City. Rutherf smiled wryly: "The black galleon is too terrible for us merchants, and we would rather encounter a storm at sea than a black sailing ship." ”

In the face of the storm, there is barely a way to survive, but when it encounters the black sailing ship, there is only death.

"Lord Ron is a very trustworthy person, as long as you negotiate the price, there will never be a thing of backsliding and tearing up the contract!" Love stared at Lutherf's face and said word by word, "When have you ever heard that Lindongcheng will not keep the agreement?"

Well, it's no use arguing about that now, Love looks at the outline of the mountain range in the distance, and behind that mountain is Lindong City, let's wait until we meet Ron to talk about anything.

"Hell!" said Love, who suddenly screamed and hurried into the cabin, Lutherf felt a change in the direction of the ship, and he frowned, realizing that the sailor was pulling the ship towards the area where the water and grass were thick.

"What's wrong?" Rutseff was a little nervous, could it be that he had encountered a robber.

"It's the cavalry of the Air Ferry Collar!" Love lowered his voice, "They're here to get us back!"

Payne glanced at the river, and because of the small size of the boat that Love was riding on, it did not show any traces of silhouette at all after hiding in the water weeds, and the cavalry looked around: "My lord, it shouldn't be here!"

"Further on, there is the jurisdiction of Lindong City, do we still want to move on?" asked a cavalryman, and the banner of Lindong City was planted at the end of the road ahead.

Payne shook his head: "Forget it, they set off early, and they may have arrived in Lindong City now." ”

"What did the lord say?"

"Report it truthfully, Rutherf himself is looking for death for the family, and we can't blame it. Payne tugged at the reins and turned the horse's head: "Assemble, prepare for the return journey!"

It was only when the sound of the horses' hooves had died away that Love dared to emerge from the cabin, stood on the deck and stared for a long time, and only when he was sure that Payne was finally gone, did he wave to the sailor and signal to continue sailing.

"This is Lindong City!" Love pointed to the port in the distance, the outline of Lindong City was already in their sight, and Luthelse's first feeling of distraction was a little lost when he saw the huge warship docked on the shore.

The size of these ships was so large that they were more than twice as large as the family's ships, and Luther had no doubt that they could even accommodate a cavalry squad to charge.

Born in a merchant family, Rutherf naturally knew that the price of building such a warship was much higher than that of a merchant cargo ship of the same level, and the keel and rail poles of the warship were specially reinforced, so that a warship with a length of about seventy meters would cost at least one million silver coins.

But it was such a warship, and there were more than fifteen of them docked in the harbor alone.

What a terrible economic capability, what a powerful military capability!
