Chapter Thirty-Four: No War in Solan

As soon as Captain Dart was sent back to Solan Harbor, he fell into a coma. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lin Qiu and the others sat in the city lord's mansion, and the servants brought them some delicate snacks, the cream and the cherries on the cake had an attractive sheen, but no one had the appetite to taste them.

The "Grim Reaper's" words before parting were intriguing, and Lin Qiu was sure that this matter would never end here. In Alyssa's words, there will be strife where the dead appear on all sides, and it can be said that the kingdom of Tarun has failed due to his and Elisa's intervention.

But what does the war have to do with that mausoleum?

"Thank you so much!"

Interrupting Lin Qiu's thoughts, surrounded by two guards, a burly middle-aged man walked briskly towards Lin Qiu and the others. He was dressed as an aristocratic garment, and he had a griffon tattooed sword pinned to his waist. The woman who was called the second lady by Dart followed behind him, and as soon as she walked in the door, she gave Lin Qiu an ambiguous look.

"This is the lord of Solan Harbor. ”

Old Jack whispered in his ear.

After the meeting, there were inevitably some high-sounding polite words, but fortunately, Old Jack was the leader of the loud pirates, and he had to deal with these polite words.

After some small talk, the city lord's expression became solemn: "May I ask Vice Captain Tyr, do you know the origin of the other party?"

The city lord brought a hint of honorifics, although he did not witness everything that happened in the mausoleum with his own eyes, but he felt the power of Lin Qiu's sword in the city government, and the wine glasses on his table were all shaken, and red wine was scattered on the table. And from his daughter's few words, he was convinced that Lin Qiu was a person whose strength surpassed that of the royal knight and who also mastered the ability to engrave.

The only thing that puzzled him was why such a promising teenager would succumb to Old Jack's ship.

Lin Qiu pretended to be puzzled and shook his head, he wouldn't be stupid enough to tell the other party about the deceased. In this city, including himself, I'm afraid that no one is the opponent of that person, and even if the city lord knows, it will only make people feel disheartened.

The city lord pondered for a moment and said, "Old Jack, I should thank you for helping me find my daughter...... But these are really extraordinary times, and I think the only way for me to repay my favor is to get you out of Solan Harbor as soon as possible!"

Old Jack asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Actually, Dart went to sea with his escort that day to track down the news of my daughter...... Although you have rescued my daughter, Dart has also heard the bad news - in five days, the Viking pirate fleet will invade Solan Harbor in a big way, and they will dispatch the remaining ships. ”

What is the concept of more than 100 ships?

Lin Qiu thought about it cursoryly, if the Vikings on the ship rushed down, the number of people alone would be enough to submerge Solan Harbor - not to mention that every Viking had a strength close to the Silver Emblem Knight!

"And what about the situation in Solan Harbor?"

"Counting the ranger knights of the Adventurers' Guild, there are about a hundred. There are 14 knights of the silver emblem and 1 knight of the royal emblem. ”

Compared to the kingdom of Talen, such a configuration can already be considered luxurious. But in the face of thousands of Vikings, the Solan Harbor garrison is not worth mentioning.

"Won't your king send reinforcements?"

Lin Qiu was very curious, this vast number of pirates was enough to destroy Solan Port more than a dozen times, and a seaside port city like Solan Port could be regarded as a strategic location.

"It was the custom of the Vikings to raid a city and never slaughter its inhabitants. They would kill the knights who could resist, take the money, the food, and the pretty women, and then walk away. As he could not find out the timing of their attack, His Majesty also mostly turned a blind eye. ”

The servant beside the city lord explained.

Kill the strong, leave a group of weak ones to fend for themselves, and those who survive will soon be able to repair the damaged houses and continue to live here.

Due to the abundance of monsters outside the city, it is difficult for these ordinary people to leave this small port city for the rest of their lives, even if they know the risks of living here, they are helpless.

"My daughter Sasha was kidnapped by pirates in a surprise attack five years ago......"

Sasha's face turned a little pale, and the words of the city lord clearly evoked her tragic memories

"What about you?"

"As the lord of the city, I must not retreat, even if I die in battle, I will defend Solan Harbor to the death. ”

The castle lord's words made the atmosphere heavy. The consequences of staying here are self-evident, although he has the courage to fight to death, but the last thing he can do is die in this city.

Lin Qiu hesitated.

He could have ridden Old Jack's Spray away from this war at once, what does it matter to him whether Solan Harbor is destroyed or not? Ten thousand steps back, he is a knight of Herutia, and Solan Harbor was once the territory of an enemy country.

But as soon as he thought of Alyssa's disappearance and the words of the "Grim Reaper", Lin Qiu hesitated. His intuition told him that the Viking attack was no accident, and that the deceased, who had been committed to stirring up strife between the two countries, must have wanted to cause the strife between the two countries again......

When he thought of this, Lin Qiu suddenly became enlightened.

Since the other party knows that Alyssa has been to this port city, if the death of the city lord and the cause of the pirate attack are blamed on Alyssa, then it is very likely that the king of the Byron Empire will declare war on Horutia again.

It's no wonder she's going to trouble a knight with silver emblems in the mausoleum, and if Dart dies there, anyone will link the two things together once the news of Alyssa's visit to the city comes to light - after all, even Alyssa herself says she had a feud with the captain of the guard named Dart.

The eyes of everyone in the room were focused on Lin Qiu.

"Don't look at me like that!"

Although this city lord said so, his earnest eyes simply hoped that he would stay and help him!

Lin Qiu coughed lightly: "Fighting Vikings head-on is basically a way to kill yourself. But let me tell you that in our country there is a profession called a military advisor, and although these people are powerless, they can easily lead the victory or defeat of a war. ”

The city lord was skeptical of Lin Qiu's words.

In his understanding, the battle between the two armies must be won by the side with the largest number and the strongest strength.

"To tell you the truth, in fact, when I was very young, my grandfather told me that I was a descendant of Zhuge Liang, the great military division that dominated the party in ancient times. ”

Lin Qiu appropriated Mr. Kong Ming's name without any guilt. Anyway, no one in this world will pursue his copyright issue: "Then the question is, Mr. City Lord, do you believe in miracles?--With these more than 100 people, I can also help you defend Solan Harbor!"

"Really?"

The lord of the castle got up from his seat excitedly.

"Really. ”

Hearing this, the city lord almost cried with joy. He had never imagined that he would be able to defend the city from thousands of Vikings, and all he could do was make the vicious pirates pay as much as possible.

"Come with me, I'm preparing for a pre-war meeting!"

The city lord walked out of the door impatiently, and his daughter bowed deeply to Lin Qiu: "Thank you." ”

After everyone left, Lin Qiu got up, and Old Jack asked with a complicated expression, "This is not like your style." ”

With this kid's character, shouldn't he just run away?

"Why?"

Lin Qiu stopped and turned his face to look at Old Jack.

He didn't want Old Jack to get involved in a dispute between knights, or he would have died sooner or later because of his righteous character. Just make up an inexplicable excuse, but he's what he's best at.

- "Because of 'One Piece', only one is enough. ”
