Cardosh's speech at Pease was a prophecy, and when Boris did not say a word about the increased punishment for Laventica's trade, Portlou continued his pursuit and began to trouble Boris in the Conigta trade.

In 2020, Portlou promulgated the "Agreement on the Prevention of Piracy in the Trade of Cornegata", which is similar to the "Agreement on the Prevention of Piracy in the Trade of Laventica" signed with Poli three years ago, except in the fact that the trade of Laventica was switched to the trade of Cornigta.

A few days before the promulgation of the Pact on the Prevention of Piracy in the Trade of Cornigta, there was a smuggling ship in the waters off Wagra, the smuggling ship of the old Selekos.

Selekos, who had been trading in Conigta all his life, had gradually aged and was now revered as Old Selekos because of his status in the industry. On these several voyages, the elder Selekos took his youngest and favorite son, who had the same name as him, and was only 20 years old.

Now that the smuggling ship had made its most thrilling leap, carrying the smuggled Conigta merchandise from Nisius, the rest of the journey was rather easy, and the only way left was to sail back to the port of Bourbon, Aster, which was a vassal of Boris, so in the opinion of old Selekos, the smuggling was a success.

Old Selekos, who realized that he was about to finish everything, could now sit peacefully in the lounge, surrounded by a group of old sailors, mainly to tell history with his son, little Selekos.

Of course, this is a rest room surrounded by sailors, and there are many things of real value that cannot be discussed, such as the fact that I first started by relying on the Arsteguine Bourbon aristocracy, and then by smuggling to the tax department in other places, so I have accumulated so much savings today, and there is no need to talk about these things.

In this way, those sailors may be naïve to think that by virtue of hard work and bravery, they can really break through the world, and in this way, these sailors will always be sailors who work for the descendants of old Selekos.

"Your father and I are different from your grandfather, living in an era full of crises, and the experience passed down by your grandfather is useless to me, so the rules of our family chamber of commerce today are the valuable experience that your father and I have been thinking about since I was thirty years old, and it took me a lifetime to figure out. ”

At this time, there was a warm exclamation from the lounge, nothing more than admiration for how wise old Selekos was, and how shit the Potrus were.

However, the focus of little Selekos was not here, he asked worriedly: "Dad, a few years ago, the northern (referring to Poli) provoked another crisis, and I feel that the situation is more severe now than when you were younger, will your experience be useless when our generation comes to power?"

Old Selekos panicked when he said this, and flicked the head of little Selekos with a trembling hand: "What nonsense!

The urgent sound of the ship's bell interrupted the old Celecos' reprimand, which made everyone present a little flustered, could it be that the little Celecos really attracted bad luck? The old Celecos did not bother to talk to the others, and stepped out of the lounge with a few steps of vigorous skill and went to the deck.

The reason for the alarm bell was that a battleship flying the flag of the Potloo Navy appeared in front of it, and without greeting the old Selekos's ship, it rushed towards this place. Old Selekos was not ignorant of what was happening on the trade route of Laventica, and when he saw this ship, he felt a pimple in his heart, could it be that the Cornigta trade would repeat this story?

Old Selekos's ship is a ship used for smuggling, focusing on speed, cargo volume and defense, so the attack ability is basically zero, and the opposite is a battleship, which has already aimed the magic weapon mouth here, and old Selekos doesn't dare to move, otherwise the other party will hit it with a cannon, and everything will really be wiped out.

The battleship of Potlou approached, and the other side shouted arrogantly with sound magic: "That suspicious ship suspected of being involved in piracy is not allowed to move, otherwise we have the right to attack you and destroy you according to the "Agreement on the Prevention of Piracy in the Laventica Trade!"

Old Selekos's scalp suddenly tingled, but he was the captain of the ship, so he had to go up at this time: "Sir, what kind of treaty is this "Agreement on the Prevention of Piracy in the Laventica Trade"? Why haven't I heard of it? Is it a mistake? Why don't you go to the teahouse where the Nixiu is there, let's sit down and discuss?"

"Don't try to bribe, your conspiracy is hidden!" Old Selekos said earlier, trying to keep this matter private, but since the other party is unwilling to take it private, it means that this time it is fatal.

A few weeks later, the old Selekos's family and the merchant group have fallen into a panic, and the news of the "Agreement on the Prevention of Pirates on the Trade of Laventica" has reached Boris, and now that the old Selekos has not returned, I am afraid that he has been detained because of the way of Portolu, right?

And today, there is finally news, but it is not the ship that has returned, but the return of little Selekos with part of the crew, and then brought one of the news that the family least wants to hear: "The smuggling ship has been seized, the old Selekos has been arrested, and the ship will definitely not come back, but if the ransom is not paid, even the old Selekos will not come back." ”

What happened to the elder Selekos was a microcosm of the thousands of Boris merchants who had been in place since the promulgation of the Agreement on the Prevention of Piracy in the Laventica Trade, and Hades was pleased to see that the points of action needed to implement dangerous countermeasures had also diminished rapidly with the enactment of this law.

And in 2023, the old people who have been in power since the era of crisis (referring to the era after the revocation of the "Epposian Ban") have retired, and a group of young aristocrats has stepped onto the stage, and these young aristocrats are much more radical, so they need fewer action points in the era of "re-crisis".

Therefore, in 2024, Hades can finally implement his dangerous countermeasures with a more cost-effective point of action.

History of Bourbon's Naval Wars, Chapter 6: The Age of Re-Crisis

[As our great-grandparents came to the political core of Boris, they abandoned the "too weak" response of the past and began to plan a big plan, which is the origin of the "Battle of Teassi". 】

[Do you remember my grandfather's smuggler from Napolica, Selekos? He was also seized in Portlou's "Agreement on the Prevention of Piracy in the Laventica Trade" and then imprisoned for three years before being rescued by his family collecting a ransom. 】

[But not long after being rescued, Selekos died of rheumatism, and the death of Selekos, an unimportant person, was excused by Boris to announce a two-month closure of Portloo. However, Boris did not really want to seal the port, but took advantage of the opportunity to seal the port of Portloo and gathered warships to retaliate. 】

[Soon, a "punishment fleet" consisting of 17 ships, consisting of 3 main battleships, 13 speedboats, and 1 supply ship, gathered in Willis and began to sail north. 】

As the captain of the frigate "Piety", the younger Selekos is preparing to leave the port of Teassi for a routine fishing trip off the coast.

The reason why little Selekos, a newly graduated academy, can become a captain at the age of only 20, in addition to having qualified basic skills, is mainly because his father is the famous Selekos, the Selekos from Armada who set off the era of crisis.

Potloo has a small fleet stationed in this area, the main port is Visilena, but many fleets like to come to Tessi to repair after their cruises and then go back. This is because there is a large fishing ground in the open sea near Teassi, and the sailors of the fleet like to go there to catch some extra money.

When he was about to leave the port, little Selekos noticed that there were smuggling ships in some corners of the harbor, but little Selekos did not arrest them with envy, because these smuggling ships had a way to get here, and it would not be good if they were captured and provoked by the patron nobles behind.

So the best place to catch it should be at sea. Moreover, it is not necessary to arrest any ship immediately, if the smuggler has already returned, let him go, and if he wants to catch the smuggler, this kind of ship can be described as rich and fat.

Throwing off those distractions, little Selekos followed his friendly ships and began to go on a routine "extra money".

[The behavior of the Teassi Navy in supervising the theft of extraneous money can be said to be a well-known secret to the whole world, and the "Punishment Fleet" is waiting for them in the Teassi Fishing Ground according to the experience of the other party in previous years. 】

[This year's Portloo fleet, which has come to make extra money, mainly has 1 main battleship, 3 dogfighting ships and 22 escort ships, a fleet of 25 ships in total, and it has left the port in a mighty way, which is also the opponent of the "punishment fleet". When the Portlou fleet crashed unprepared into the "Punishment Fleet", the most famous naval battle of the crisis era, the Battle of Teassi, broke out. 】

[After the Portlou fleet left the port, the fleet was lined up in two columns, with 13 ships including the main battleship on the left and 12 ships on the right. 】

[Although there are far more fleets on Portlou's side than the "Punishment Fleet", their fleet does not have a real general, and the most of the harbor ships are not suitable for fighting in the open sea, and the most important thing is that they are not prepared for their upcoming naval battle, and the weapons on the ships are very small, but they are filled with a lot of fishing equipment. 】

[Therefore, Portlou's fleet crashed into the "Punishment Fleet" unsuspectingly, or an extremely dangerous T-shaped formation, at first the captains of Portlou thought that the "Punishment Fleet" did not notify them to run away to make extra money, and the captain of the main battleship, Luhr, even angrily broke the porcelain used for the decoration of the captain's room. 】

[Only when the "Punishment Fleet" carried out a magical bombardment of Portolu's fleet did Portoux's fleet wake up from a dream and realize that it was the enemy on the opposite side, but it was too late at this time, the main battleship on the left was broken, and the escort ship on the right was directly sunk. 】

[And the consequences of not having a naval commander are very obvious in the following reaction, when the war began, 3 frigates actually tried to retreat without informing the others, and as a result, they collided with the escort ships in the back, causing great chaos in Portlou's fleet. 】

[At the same time, part of the clippers of the "Punishment Fleet" began to sail backwards, trying to surround Portlou's fleet with a semicircle.] The captain of the main battleship of Portlou tried to take on the duties of admiral and sent some of the escort ships to the rear, but before he could issue many orders, he was attacked by the fast ships of the "Punishment Fleet" and sank after two rounds of blows. 】

[So the speedboats of the "Punishment Fleet" sailed to the rear of Portelou's fleet without much hindrance, surrounded Portoux's fleet, and a massacre followed. 】

[In the end, obviously in the vast open sea, 16 of the 25 ships of Portlou were sunk and 6 were captured, only 1 dog fighting ship and 2 harbor escorts successfully broke through, and only one fast ship of the "punishment fleet" was destroyed by the dog fighting ship and was forced to sink when returning home, and there was no damage to any other ships. 】

[After the victory of the Battle of Teassi, the "Punishment Fleet" captured many sailors, the most famous of which was the son of the Ducater family Selekos, the "Punishment Fleet" took the nobles prisoner, then cut off the ears and fingers of the sailors, and put them on three small boats before leaving. 】
