By the time Wu Xin ran to that cove, the battle was over.

The scene in front of him made Wu Xin breathe a sigh of relief, and the tragic scene he was worried about did not appear.

Although a mid-level knight shattered into several pieces along with his armor, Wu Xin saw no other corpses and seriously wounded people who were difficult to recover.

The morale of the soldiers was okay, and some of the soldiers were using fishing nets, fishing forks, and hooks to salvage the shark's carcass and the shark's uneaten pieces of demon meat under the command of Odd Kessler.

The knight de Vrerich had risen from the water, seemed to be able to walk on her own, and was slowly approaching.

Old De Vrich was talking enthusiastically with the priestess of the Kou Tao Fishman.

The mythical shark has floated belly up in the water and has really become part of the hot soup.

Compared to the ingredients, the water added to this soup is a little less..................

"Your Excellency Priestess, I am personally very grateful to you, thanks to your water level control magic skill, my old bone can finally continue to hold on." That's what old Deverrich said, but it wasn't really true. "It's a pity that if you had reacted a little faster, High Priest, Knight Gbio probably wouldn't have died, I'm dying, and Knight Gbio is a young man with a lot of promise. Personally, I believe that you did your best, but many knights think that this young man would not have died if it weren't for your slow movement, so I am very embarrassed about the distribution of this trophy. ”

"Spell casting materials are very valuable, and I don't dare to use magic lightly until I am sure. I'm sure the Knights Hospitaller will understand this. "The priestess was anxious to take part in the division of the spoils, but old Deverich gathered most of his soldiers to form a blockade." And although you are a citizen of the sea, I have also heard of the great name of the Knights Hospitaller, you are all warriors who fought against the Star and Moon Cult, and you are heroes who have long put life and death out of the way, and the Gébio Knight can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and you are also comrades in arms against the Star and Moon Cult, you can't ........."

"What?! Is Gbio dead? Wu Xin also joined the conversation at this time. He had already understood that the Koutao Fishman Sacrifice had provided effective help, but he had probably come to his aid after seeing that his side had quickly defeated the Ottoman navy.

But fortunately, it was Gbio who died. This is a knight he dislikes the most, although he has a bit of strength, but he is greedy for money and lustful, and has no discipline.

Of course, Wu Xin would not admit this, and he painfully held on to Gbio's body, which was no longer human. "Knight Gbio is a good partner of mine, and he often says that although there are many temptations from the outside world, he has God and the Knights Hospitaller in his heart, and he must establish great achievements as a Knights Hospitaller. I didn't expect that he had just come to the Black Continent and had not punished a few heretics before he passed away, he was still so young. His death was not only a personal loss to me of a good companion, but also a heavy loss to the cause of the Knights Hospitaller. ”

After saying this, Wu Xin raised his head again and looked at Holbarukuluna and said, "Your Excellency High Priest, since you know that the Star Moon Sect is a cult. Then why didn't you come to support our righteous fight just now?! ”

"Mythical shark here............" Holbarukuluna was speechless, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and gave Wu Xin the truth to pinch her.

But now she has to try to resist: "Our agreement is only for mythical sharks, and it does not involve the Ottoman navy .........."

Wu Xin interrupted her with a cold snort: "Hmph, in that case, what other comrades-in-arms do you say?" ”

There was no distribution of the spoils of war in the hastily reached agreement, and it was originally meant that each was based on his ability.

Now that the situation is completely under his control, Wu Xin will certainly not be polite, this is an inevitable play-off after a bloody battle and victory.

In fact, Wu Xin didn't immediately turn around and attack them now because he had other plans.

Horbarukuluna's beautiful emerald green skin turned white. She asked herself in great pain, is she going to fail again?

Since she was separated from her mother's tribe, she had a miserable life.

In fact, since taking refuge in the Kingdom of Spain. Their lives have been difficult.

There was nothing to blame for the Spanish authorities, and they made good on their promise to give the Kou Tao fishers a habitable and well-fed area near the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean.

There are not enough fishermen in Spain, and many of the fishing grounds are underutilized, so there is no conflict between the Kotao fishers and the locals. Successfully got a place to live.

The local governor was also very kind to them because of the emperor's orders, and never put obstacles in the trade, and generally could do fair deals, and if there was a dispute between the two clans, they would try to compromise and deal with it.

Because of his mother's strong personal strength, the emperor would give gifts every year, and if he wanted to ask them to help in the war, he would also give them a suitable reward.

It's all fair.

But fair days are not necessarily better, the emperor recruited them to fight a lot of wars, Spain fought with the Ottomans in the Mediterranean, and fought against the Sawa fishmen in the Atlantic, often making the Koutao fishmen lose a lot of fighters, plus the Barbary pirates took the initiative to strike at the Koutao fishmen, in the past ten years, although the fishing grounds have been stable, but the number of Koutao fishmen has not increased, and even the proportion of warriors of the right age has begun to decline.

In order to prevent the tribe from being overwhelmed by the enemy, the mother divided the tribe under extremely difficult circumstances, and handed over a small part of her power to Horbarukuluna to explore a new living space.

Heading west back to the Atlantic is not an option, and the advantages of the Sawa Fishman have grown over the past few decades, and there is no turning back for the Koutao Fishman.

They had to continue eastward, to find a way to survive in the depths of the Mediterranean, and the first choice was, of course, the Republic of Venice.

Even the Kou Tao Fishman knows that the city of Venice is a city on the water, the essence of human civilization.

Although in the past ten years, when they have worked with the Venetian navy, they feel that this navy seems to be a bit unworthy of the name.

This seems to imply that there is something wrong with the Republic of Venice behind this navy.

But it wasn't until she joined the flag of the Republic of Venice that she realized how bad the situation was.

When she felt bitter, Wu Xin continued to increase the pressure, and he turned his head again and said, "Your Excellency Sazastan, in your opinion, how should the spoils of war be distributed this time?" ”

Lich!

Looking at the skull in front of her, Horbarukuluna remembered her mother's teachings, and her knowledge in this area was limited. Even her mother didn't know much about the strongest of these mages.

However, even if he did not know that Sazastan was actually a demigod lich, he had just been in the middle of the army, and his performance of killing the enemy's famous captain like killing a chicken was undisputed.

"Hmph. What to distribute the loot, all the loot is mine! Okay, okay, ours, ours............." Sazastan heard Wu Xin communicate without soul, and immediately knew what he should say. This is also a true performance for him, Sazastan, who has just used a thousand thaler spell casting materials, really can't care about anything, "And them, they are also my trophies, these Kotao fish people are all mine, our slaves, and this priestess can be turned into good spell casting materials......... The sacrifice of the Mother of the Sea, a rare spice...."

As he spoke, he still regretted in his heart, since Wu Xin asked so. Instead of doing it directly, it will definitely not act according to this plan.

Supposedly, Sazastan, who has become a tendon, can understand this truth, so should Horbarukuluna, but the priestess under great pressure suddenly loses the ability to think.

Her tribe had unknowingly been surrounded by Wu Xin's men on the beach.

The weight of the demigod lich in her heart was too great, and she asked herself that the chances of being able to carry Sazastan's "Death Finger" were slim, and her tribe would not be more difficult to deal with than those Janisseri soldiers just now, and she was already physically and mentally exhausted by the responsibility of her tribe, and this attack made her almost fall to the ground in a flash.

Fortunately, Cassano helped her in time, but despite this, there was still a commotion in the Kou Tao fishman next to her. Most of them don't understand the Spanish they speak, but the current situation is enough to tell the story.

When the humans separated themselves from the battlefield and prevented them from collecting sacrifices that would please the Mother of the Sea, they realized the problem.

It's not once or twice in Venice that this kind of.

But they didn't realize it. Sazastan threatened them to swallow it too.

Wu Xin saw that the priestess was already frightened, and knew that Sazastan was overexerting force, so he hurriedly let Cassano enter the next stage.

Cassano is actually very reluctant to participate in this kind of activity recently, which is really not what he is good at.

However, as an old knight who watched Wu Xin grow up, he sighed in his heart, although he did not play the role of Sazastan in the battle just now. But there is no possibility of being lazy at all, and now he is also very tired.

But in any case, the days of only being responsible for cutting people in the past are really over, and Cassano still cheers up and works hard to perform.

"Although it is true that these Kou Tao Fishmen have performed extremely poorly, they are also servants and vassals of the great Spanish Kingdom after all, considering your special relationship with the Emperor, I think it is better to give them another chance?" Cassano is obviously helping Kou Tao Yuren speak, but he is actually introducing Wu Xin's background.

Horbarukuluna, who had barely recovered a little from being splashed with seawater by the clansmen, looked at Wu Xin and the supreme's god-like faces, and remembered his background.

Of course, she knew about Wu Xin's ups and downs on the Mediterranean, even if she didn't know the inside story of the Roman Church.

It was also the work that triggered the reorganization of the Knights Hospitaller and brought back Sazastan, the second most important figure on the Ottoman Empire's battle list.

All this is no small matter, although it is indeed inferior to the Tunisian strategy of Hareddin.

"Yes, my mother is the Emperor's guest, and we are good friends of the Warlock Royalty! And I am now employed by His Royal Highness the Venetian Consul Goriti the Younger to guard the Adriatic Sea together for a long time. "Horbarukuluna has found a lifesaver, and she doesn't have any logic, just to shout out all useful relationships." To our detriment would be to cut off your wings, and to offend both the two most powerful nations in the Mediterranean that believe in the true God. ”

Wu Xin raised his head slightly and pretended to think.

Of course, he had already thought about the gains and losses.

There is no real backstage behind the other party, and there is no need for any intelligence, Wu Xin can also be sure that in order to win the emperor's acquiescence to the Kou Tao Fishman Branch, it is not easy for the Kou Tao Fishman Branch, they will never get the emperor's support again, and if these alien races who leave his shelter end miserably, it will be a good thing for his reputation.

And their latter employer, not to mention, in fact, the appearance of the Kou Tao Fish-Man tribe in this sea area shows that their cooperation with the Republic of Venice has broken down, even if they don't turn their faces publicly, it's not much worse.

What's more, the Republic of Venice has never been the second true divine power in the Mediterranean after Spain, and now the position of the second most powerful country in the navy cannot be maintained, even in terms of navy, she is also inferior to the Republic of Liguria by a lot.

The whole of Europa was well aware of the state of the Republic of Venice, and the merchants who came and went were deliberately concealing it, but too many sailors complained in every port they entered, where a bitter infighting was currently being experienced.

In its heyday, the Republic of Venice was the second largest continental power in Europe after France and Spain, and its population and financial resources were not inferior to those of Austria and England at the time, and its powerful navy was an important bargaining chip in the balance of power on the continent.

But in the last two decades, the ancient and powerful republic has experienced a great decline, and all the territories she had seized from the Holy Roman Empire on the mainland were recaptured by the imperial princes, three-quarters fell into the hands of Austria under the Habsburgs, and a quarter were allocated to the Marquis of Mantua, which had staunchly supported the Habsburgs in the previous phase of the war.

The Regency of Ladislau not only seized the vast territory from Friuli in the east to Verona in the west, but also invaded the island of Venice for a time, participated in the internal struggle of the Republic of Venice, and successfully deposed the consuls.

Austria deposed the consuls by force, which led to the loss of central authority, and the outer islands of the East, including Cyprus and Crete, did not recognize the little Goritian consuls supported by Austria.

Now the islands of Cyprus and Crete are independent powers controlled by local warlords, with only nominal ties to Venice, and their ambassadors meet at foreign courts, glaring at them and talking a lot of nonsense.

In reality, however, none of the powers was able to reunite the various territories of the Republic of Venice.

The navy that was once able to fight with the Ottoman Empire is of course not good now, although it is still a little stronger than Austria and the Papal States, but it is no longer comparable to the navies of Spain and the Ottomans.

The republic now retains only the city of Venice, the home of Woking, the goddess of commerce and trade.

The reason why the shrinking Republic of Venice did not rally the strength to fight back, but instead plunged into more permanent chaos, is that the current ruler of the city of Venice, the consul Goriti the Younger, is a follower of Shiric, and is the most favored believer of the dark sun, his chosen people.

The reasons for this situation are quite complex, but the result is simple: the Church and the government in Venice are constantly fighting, and the commercial republic is now in a state of extreme disorder.

It was precisely because of this situation that Wu Xin did not immediately turn his face and swallow the results of the battle alone, and by the way, he also arrested them as slaves.

Of course, the presence of a mother tribe in Spain was also a factor.

Not only that, but he also wants to give some loot to the Kou Tao fish.

Ignoring Sazastan's protests, Wu Xin ordered Odd Kessler: "In this way, give half of the mythical shark's teeth to the honorable priestess, I think this kind of sacrifice can please Her Majesty the Mother of the Sea, after all, the shark is the totem of the Sawa Fish Man." ”

In fact, things were nowhere near as bad as Holbarukuluna thought, and it was not in Wu Xin's best interest to kill or enslave them.

The preparation for the division of the Kou Tao Fishmen was too hasty, not only did they not fully spy on the intelligence of various countries, but the training of the new leader was also insufficient.

She didn't realize that Wu Xin longed for her and her tribe.

In the end, Wu Xin got ninety and a half of the spoils, and the Kou Tao fish people got some residues. (To be continued.) )

PS: The power situation in this book is in line with the previous book "Warlock Royalty", and the decline of the Republic of Venice is much more serious than that of the original plane
