Chapter Seventy-Two: Captain Saxon
Early the next morning, Admiral Hall received a message from the Admiral of the First Fleet.
The fierce battle between the First and Second Fleets of Leoni City and the joint forces of the pirates and the sudden attack of the troll fleet lasted for a whole day, and finally ended with a crushing victory for the Leony City fleet, the complete dissolution of the water pirate alliance, and the complete destruction of the rudimentary troll fleet.
The trolls' humble ships, half the size of the thief ships, could not resist the collision of human warships, and most of them were smashed into the river, bringing a feast to the predators of the Sulo. However, the desperate counterattack of the strong trolls also inflicted terrible casualties on the First Fleet.
The greater casualties came from the desperate counterattack of the water pirates, whose ships were no worse than the fleets of the city-state of Leony, and the brutal broadside battles were like a terrible meat grinder, devouring countless lives.
The large number of predators in the water attracted by the blood equated falling into the water with death.
In the end, the First and Second Fleets relied on their numerical superiority to disperse the water pirate alliance and launched an endless pursuit war against the water pirate alliance, and finally escaped less than 20 water pirate warships.
In this battle, the main fleet of Leony City, the first and second fleets lost more than half, but completely eliminated the unstable factors within the human race, and also dealt a heavy blow to the water power of the trolls.
At the same time, the Admiral of the First Fleet sent an order, asking Admiral Hall to lead his fleet to the exit on the side of the Blackwater Lake, a common channel used by the Blackwater Swamp bandits, to intercept the pirate warships that might escape back to the Blackwater Lake. The defeated Blackwater City thieves did not know that their lair had fallen, and there was a high probability that they would escape back to Blackwater Lake.
The escaped Blackwater City thieves are no longer in order, but the escaped Captain Sathan must be caught or killed, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable if he is allowed to defect to the Troll Tribe.
According to the regulations of Leony, the Admiral of the First Fleet was superior to the Admiral of the Second and Third Fleets and had the right to command the other two fleets.
After General Hall received the order, he first summoned the generals of the city-states of the coalition army and ordered them to defend Blackwater City at the same time. Get ready to attack the Kingdom of the Golden Scales.
More than 10,000 fishmen sent by the Golden Scale Kingdom to attack the Gray Fortress hit their heads under the tall walls of the Gray Fortress and broke their heads, but less than thirty percent of them were actually killed in battle, and most of the remaining ones saw that the defeat was decided, and nothing could be done. Flee into the depths of the Blackwater Swamp.
On the one hand, the defenders of the gray fortress have to defend the fortress, and on the other hand, the swampy area is not suitable for human warfare, so they can only watch the fish-people leave. Therefore, the strength of the Golden Scale Kingdom was not greatly damaged.
Tong guò interrogated the captured water thieves, and General Hall knew. The last bloodline of the Acre clan, Prince Kaka, Prince Uka, and Priest Soka were all tricked into the Blackwater Lake by Captain Bloodwolf to kill them, and the plan of the Aka clan to control the golden-scaled fishmen was no longer possible. Humans would never tolerate a powerful and hostile fish-man kingdom behind them, so it was imperative to completely exterminate the kingdom of the golden scales.
After arranging Blackwater City, General Hall gathered his fleet and left Blackwater Harbor.
Bai Qi left with his own private fleet and General Hall's fleet.
As it turned out, the First Fleet admiral's conjecture was quite correct. General Hall's fleet intercepted a total of five pirate ships at the exit of the secret channel of the Blackwater Swamp.
Disappointingly, there was no Captain Sasson on these five ships. And they knew from the captured water thieves that Captain Sathan had guessed that Blackwater had fallen, and he had joined the water pirate warships that had escaped from the battlefield of the Grey Fortress, and convinced some of them that this defeat was a plot by the human city-states to destroy Blackwater, and that Blackwater City was likely to fall into the hands of the city-state coalition forces, and their only way to survive now was to cross the Araare River valley to join the orc alliance.
The water thieves on the five warships who returned to Blackwater Lake, on the one hand, did not believe that Blackwater City, which was protected by the Blackwater Swamp, would fall. On the other hand, he was even more reluctant to defect to the alien race and broke away from Captain Saxon.
According to the captives, there were not many pirates who were willing to follow Captain Saxon to join the alien race. There were only four ships, and most of the remaining water thieves fled in the Suro River after breaking away from Captain Saxon, and only these five ships were willing to return to Blackwater Lake to see the news.
After receiving this news, General Hall's face was very ugly, after he sent a messenger to the city-state of Leoni. Xiang Bai Qi talked about Captain Sassen's strict nature of defecting to the orc coalition.
It doesn't matter how many water thieves Captain Sathan can take away to defect to the orc coalition, the most important thing is Captain Sathan himself.
Speaking of which, the origin of this Saxon captain also has a lot to do with Gunde, and Gonde's father Drake? Admiral Horsen was the general of the Fourth Fleet in the city-state of Stya, but was framed by the new consul for being on the wrong side during the change of consuls, and his family was ruined.
Drake? The strong contender for the consul of the city-state of Stya, supported by General Horsen, was Captain Thaxon.
The Captain Saxon family is a rising star in the Styan city-state family, and by the time of Captain Saxon's generation, they have accumulated a huge amount of power, not only controlling the First Fleet and the Fourth Fleet of the Styan City-State's Naval Army, but also mastering the shipyard of the Styan City-State.
Captain Sassen was a man of great skill in his own right, mastering water combat and being a master of ship design.
When Captain Saxon failed in the struggle for the position of consul of Stya, and then tried to launch a coup d'état also failed, people found out that the seemingly desperate Captain Saxon had already paved the way for the family, as early as more than ten years ago, the Saxon family had begun to operate Blackwater Lake, and sent family cronies to establish the Blackwater Water Bandits, the largest water thief gang in Blackwater Lake, and established the prototype of Blackwater City.
With the support of the Sassen family, the Blackwater Thieves soon became a super water thief far beyond several other large water thief gangs, and took control of the newly established Blackwater City, establishing the rock-solid Blackwater Castle and the Blackwater Shipyard that was no less capable than any city-state's shipyard.
When the coup failed, Captain Saxon abandoned his allies and supporters in the city-state of Stya and fled to Blackwater.
A few years later, the news was accidentally leaked, and the human world was in an uproar.
The new consul of the city-state of Stya was originally afraid of the strong forces that supported Captain Saxon in the past, and had to adopt a policy of softness, but as soon as the news came out, the new consul immediately gained moral support and began to use thunderous measures to eliminate the supporters of Captain Saxon back then.
Gunde's family was originally one of the top five big families in Stya City, and the family background is very deep, such a family, logically speaking, even if it is on the wrong side in the change of consuls, it will not be in danger of the continuation of the family, after all, the consuls are different from the king, and they do not have so much power.
But Sassen's actions implicated the Horsen family, lost all allies and supporters, and finally fell tragically.
This is also the reason why Gunde's father, when he carried out the last military order of the consul, knew that it was just an excuse for the consul to kill him, but still tried his best to find a channel in the Blackwater swamp to the blackwater lake.
At the last moment, Admiral Drake had actually lost control of his fleet, and the secret passage had actually been filled in with the lives of the Horsen family's private army.
So by the time the consul gave the final order, the Horsens had no strength to resist.
General Derek eventually gained sympathy and understanding from the people, so when Gander, as a descendant of the Horsens, asked to join Leoni City, he was not discriminated against.
After this war, the power that the Sassen family had worked so hard to run in Blackwater City had disappeared, and the remaining power was no longer a problem, but Captain Sassen himself was an extremely outstanding shipbuilder, and the water pirate warships used by the water thieves in Blackwater City are said to have come from Captain Sassen.
Once this person is allowed to join the troll tribe with human shipbuilding skills, the results will be unimaginable.
Listening to General Hall's words, Bai Qi felt a heavy mood and a burst of excitement at the same time, he knew that all the previous missions were actually just to pave the way for this moment, if he guessed correctly, the first real battle of the space soldiers was coming, this mission was to cross the Arare River Valley, go to the troll territory, and hunt down Captain Sassen.
However, while exhilarating, Bai Qi also felt a wave of doubt, Gunder didn't seem to know these things about his father and family, and all his hatred seemed to be focused on the current consul of Stia City.
Back on his ship, Bai Qi called Gunder and Bode, and tentatively asked Gunde about the story he had heard from General Hall, but he was surprised by Gunde's appearance, while Bode seemed to know something.
Under Gunde's questioning, Bode finally told the truth, and the truth was indeed as General Hall said, but this matter involved the face of the entire aristocratic class, so it did not spread widely.
In order to keep the bloodline strong and avoid the consequences of inbreeding, intermarriages between families with strong bloodlines in the human city-states were very frequent, and even the consuls of the city-state of Leoni were related to Captain Sasen, so this scandal was kept silent by all the nobles of the human city-state.
The Bode father and son were actually Gunde's father, who had arranged to break away from the Horsen family before he had completely lost power, and he felt that after he had made such a sacrifice, the consuls would not exterminate his family. So he arranged for some subordinates like Bode, who had no family blood, but were loyal enough, to leave the family early.
What General Drake didn't expect was that the new consul was also a ruthless guy, although he did not directly order the Horsen family to be cut and rooted, but secretly turned some of the Horsen family's direct bloodlines into oar slaves, using this method to cut the roots of the Horsen family, which had already formed a feud.
An archon has to deal with a group of slaves, and naturally he has to be able to capture it, so up to now, the direct bloodline of the Horsen family is only Gunde. This is also because Gander is the least qualified and least valued among the many sons of General Drake, and it is for this reason that it is only an ordinary guard like Bode who protects Gander.
