Just in Cape Town, the season of a new moment is about to be ushered in, but there is already a slight surge in the city of Gray Mist, and the nobles suddenly stop the banquets that appear every day, and all stay in their homes, quietly waiting for news from the Doge's Castle, at least they will not be indifferent at such a time, as if they do not understand what is happening. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, it was time for the Governor to show his authority, although this authority had been shaken by the rebellious Viscount Moulton, and then severely damaged by the army led by Levi of Cape Town, he was still the supreme earl of Grey Mist City, ruling over the entire large and small silver pan islands, and was the governor of the entire Northern Trumming Sea.

The nobles still need to obey his wishes, and the main military strength in the Gray Mist City is still under the control of the Governor, including the strongest military group in the Gray Mist City, the Guardian Knights, which is mainly formed by the nobles, and the position of head is also held by the Governor himself, and the three deputy heads are also appointed by the Governor to die-hard supporters.

What's more, the elite guards of the inner city of Grey Mist City, the governor's guard of the governor's castle, including the elite field legions that have been absorbing the outer city for many years, all belong to the personal command of the governor.

And these nobles, what they can have in their hands is only a few knights, or they are sneaking around, hiding twenty or thirty cavalry among the servants, no matter how many, it is simply impossible, they will definitely be discovered by the governor, so they will be severely suppressed, or directly removed from the noble circle of the Great Silver Pan Island.

Of course, the price of removal is that the glory of this family is in danger of extinction, and all the accumulated wealth is embezzled by the kind friends around him, and even the blood and name of the family cannot be preserved.

This is very common in the history of Grey Mist City, especially in the past few days, the bloody suppression and massacre have resounded almost the entire street, and at this stage, they do not want to expose themselves to the eyes of many people, and it is undoubtedly a wise choice to keep their doors closed.

Because everyone knows that now Cape Town seems to be in trouble.

The pirates of Crash Bay appeared on the east coast, failed to attack Cape Town, left behind hundreds of casualties and the cost of sinking several warships, and then left the Great Silver Plate Island in disgrace, which was a mistake that the pirates of Crash Bay had never made, and even one of the few mistakes of these pirates.

But everyone understands that brutal revenge will come soon, for a few weeks at most, three or five days at least, and as long as these pirates from Crash Bay go back and put their weapons and equipment in order, then these ferocious pirates who are really wandering on the sea are ferocious sharks, cruel enough to tear anyone who resists them to shreds.

The navy of Grey Mist City could not completely resist those pirates in Crash Bay, because everyone also understood that although Crash Bay claimed to be pirates, in fact, they were a force located between the South and North Trumpet Seas!

At the beginning, the expeditionary force organized by the South Tsunami Sea failed to attack the North Tsunami Sea, which is just a general statement.

In real history, it is true to say that the army carried by the South Tsunami Fleet did not capture Gray Mist City, and all the army units were almost wiped out, abandoning a large number of weapons and equipment, and only a small number of troops escaped from the coast on those ships in the South Tsunami Sea.

In fact, the fleet of the South Tsunami Sea easily defeated the fleet organized by the North Trumchi Sea, which is why for so many years in the North Tsunami Sea, there has not been another powerful navy in the true sense.

The original elite of the navy was completely wiped out by the navy of the South Trumming Sea, and it was only as a last resort that it relied on the armed merchant ships of the nobles and a small number of naval warships belonging to Gray Mist City to form the current naval fleet in the North Trumming Sea and become the only naval force in the North Trumming Sea.

And those fleets that escaped, as well as a small number of land forces, eventually formed pirates in Crash Bay, especially the pirate gangs that already existed, and supported themselves by plundering, not under the control of the previous South Trumming Sea.

Even, the three forces currently on Crash Bay are the fugitive army and the divided navy, and the three *** cities jointly formed belong to the banquet hall for the pirates, the wonderful transit station for smugglers, and the free pirates to sell stolen goods and gold caves.

"The town of Cape has commissioned us to deliver a letter and inquire about the trade of the Ketuf River."

In the Governor's Castle, a merchant who had been the last to leave Cape Town was already sitting in a meeting room at this time, bowing his head very respectfully, putting the letter in his hand on the table, and at the same time said to the old man in front of him with extremely neat hair: "Including the port of Samar City, they all want us to open it as soon as possible according to the agreement. ”

The old man in front of him was Mr. Paul, the butler of the Governor's Castle, sitting on a chair with a slight chin raised, his eyes looking up at the top of the door, but there was a little smile on the corner of his mouth: "That's what they said?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Paul."

The merchant swallowed and spit, in front of Paul, the steward of the governor's castle, he was as humble as a pauper, and did not dare to make any extra movements, glanced at the letter that was still on the table, and also took out a money bag in his pocket and put it down, and said softly: "Give me eighty large silver coins back, saying that it is the reward for this call." ”

The money bag was placed on the table, and there was a slight clanging sound, and the merchant was sweating on his forehead, and cold sweat was obviously coming out. Of course, he knew that he could not take the money, for he had already received the money from Paul's butler as early as his trip to Cape Town, a merchant in the service of the Governor.

"Put it away, eighty large silver coins?"

Paul's butler shifted his gaze to the door, looked at the money bag on the table, and finally focused his eyes on the letter, opened his mouth lightly, smiled and asked, "They mean that the port of trade will be opened as soon as possible in accordance with the agreement?" ”

"Yes, yes." The merchant nodded slightly, his tone was even more respectful, and he didn't even look at the big silver coin that he said he would put away, and said very flatteringly: "But they need us to open a trade route on the Ketuf River, and it is said that they plan to reactivate the island in the middle of the lake in the Everglades as another transit trading point." ”

"That's funny, isn't it, the guys from Cape Town, begging us to open a treaty port?"

The smile on the corner of his mouth became mocking, and Butler Paul looked at the businessman in front of him who was sweating coldly, reached out and gently took the letter, without even looking at it, his well-maintained fingers were gently torn in two, and his eyes were a little gloomy: "Who do they think they are?" ”

The reason why the authority of the governor fell to the current freezing point in Grey Mist City is the lord of Cape Town, Levi, who was once supported by them.

But none of them expected that this damn Levi, compared to his close rebellious viscount, Prince Moulton from the South Trumming Sea, would be extremely hidden, and the network behind it would not be seen where it came from until now, as if it appeared out of thin air.

This was not good news, especially for the Governor, and the nobles, who had been a little cautious of each other if they had previously been called internal struggles, but now they were of a very different nature.

This is an attack by a foreign enemy, an invasion of the original nobles of their group of big silver pan islands, and an external force that challenges their traditional forces, and the two sides have almost irreconcilable contradictions, and have the most essential conflict of interests!

"The treaty ports of Grey Mist will not be closed, and we welcome Cape Town to trade."

Butler Paul leaned back in his chair, gently reached out and pinched his eyebrows, turned his head to look at the merchant, his eyes were slightly mocking, and said, "Tell them, but we only accept merchant ships from the sea, and the Ketuf River belongs to the exclusive rivers of Grey Mist City and Samar City, and foreign ships are not allowed to pass." ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Paul!" The merchant shuddered, and immediately nodded, he did not dare to resist the butler at all, because everyone knew that the seriously ill governor was the old butler who passed on a series of government arrangements.

Looking at the merchant with a frightened appearance, the corners of Paul's butler's mouth also brought a slight smile, and he took a deep breath, thinking of the envelopes that the nobles had sent to their servants, indicating that they were concerned with the Governor's illness and supported the Governor's supreme authority on the Great Silver Plate Island, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even more mocking.

Their interests were challenged, so they spontaneously stopped fighting among themselves and began to unite tentatively to question the Doge, the highest nobleman who had once led them.

But this time, Paul didn't want to continue to be the same as before, he saw the farther view, and thought further, and even found that even if he didn't rely on these nobles, there was no problem, but it would make the power of the governor's castle more and more powerful.

"Let's go."

Paul waved his hand, and the merchant in front of him immediately withdrew respectfully, but he still did not forget the money bag on the table. When the door closed, Paul's face also lowered slightly, his fingers knocked on the table, and he said lightly to the door, "Someone." ”

"Master Paul." At the door, a member of the Doge's Guard immediately pushed open the door and walked in, without looking around, immediately bowing his head respectfully, waiting for Paul's next order.

"Contact the Crash Bay side, I'm going to work with them."

With a grim look in his eyes, Paul exhaled slowly, his fingers tapping on the table faster and faster, but finally he paused directly, looked at the member of the Doge's Guard, and said in a deep voice: "As for the object of cooperation, it is the pirate leader who failed in the attack on Cape Town!" ”
