Chapter 191: Detained

Lighthouses appeared in the morning mist. Every port city on the seashore www.biquge.info has a lighthouse...... It is made of Philosopher's Stone, and at night it reflects a long-lasting beam of light that points the way for ships sailing in the dark.

"Raise the flag on the sail so that the people in the harbor can see it...... Slow down, slow down now. The old captain shouted.

The sails of the ship are raised with flags of different colors to indicate that the ship is ready to dock, so that the personnel door of the port is ready to guide, and at the same time, the bell on the ship is also ringed as a sound, and the opposite port will also be sounded.

The bell rang several times in a row, but there was no response from the other side.

"What's going on? It stands to reason that there should be a response at this time. You, bring me my binoculars......" he instructed the sailors beside him.

By this time the other guests had also come to the deck, most of them dead, and many of the merchants who had traveled alone had died leaving only a pile of goods, which the old captain had instructed the sailors to count and hope to pass on to their families when they were handed over to the Chamber of Commerce.

"What's wrong? Captain. Gurriana also walked out, and behind her the circus was already more than half of the people who were missing, and it was the members of the night circus who were most severely damaged by the accident at sea, most of whom were killed by cargo while shaking because they stayed in the cabin underground.

"There is still no response from the port, and for some reason, we have raised the flag and rang the bell and they should be able to hear it. The old captain glanced at the harbor again, and there were obviously people on the sentry tower, but why didn't they open the harbor for themselves to dock?

Ketika Lucy walked out with the king...... The people around were talking about why the port didn't let them dock.

He looked into the distance, and there seemed to be a large number of soldiers waiting in the direction of the port...... An ominous omen appeared in Wang Cuo's heart.

They have already come, and what they think in their hearts is the Black Death from the city of Arcas, how far has they traveled by sea to get around, according to the speed of traffic in this world, the sea is two or three times faster than the land transport, could it be that the Black Death has come ahead of them?

Even if the disease spreads quickly, it still needs a vector, and it is almost impossible for an infected person to come here faster than himself...... If so, there is only one explanation.

The disease has spread in another place, and it has caused damage that cannot be ignored, so that the whole country is on guard.

"Check out where this is the port?" the old captain also noticed the soldiers moving on the shore, which was the ceremony of welcoming the port, obviously just like when the enemy country attacked.

The sailors opened the heavy map book and compared it according to the patterns on the book.

"It's the port of Safra, the closest port to the imperial capital. ”

"Port Safra, we have come to this place. The old captain said to himself that their original destination was only two ports close to each other, and he didn't want to be 'lost' by the dragon once, and the route was so long, no wonder he had no impression after sailing on the sea, and always felt that the route was wrong.

He looked back at the people on the ship and said solemnly, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now about to arrive at the port of Safra, the closest place to the imperial capital, far from our expected voyage...... I know some of you may be unhappy and delayed. He saw that some of the people present were surprised, while others were angry.

"But there is no way, we had an accident at sea, thinking back to the experience of last night...... Thank God, that I will live to see you. "The old captain prayed, and the other sailors prayed along, and the events of yesterday may be etched in everyone's heart for the rest of their lives...... The world's two 'largest' species fought each other, and the ships were thrown hundreds of miles away by dragons.

No one complains anymore, and because it is already a miracle to survive.

"Although I don't know what's going on, but at least we came to the imperial capital, and there is no worse situation in our national royal city than before, let's wait for this next step with peace of mind. He reassured everyone that it was very effective.

At least the target is our own country's army, and we can still be reasonable, like the two giant beasts yesterday, we can't even say the size of each other's nail shells.

This old captain has a good hand at calming his emotions.

Wang Cuo looked at the people around him and seemed to calm down.

"Sister Gulanna, is Port Safra the imperial capital?"

He heard Lily beside him ask Guliana how much better Lucy had been towards the two of them since yesterday's 'accident'. I followed the two of them today.

But Wang Cuo still insisted on his previous opinion, Gu Liana is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

"So to speak...... The port of Safra is the closest port to the imperial capital, usually a country will not set up a port in its own capital, because then when the war comes, they will face both land and sea attacks, so the imperial capital is usually only land transportation without sea transportation, but the port of Safra is indeed the nearest place and the fortress of the imperial navy. Gulanna explained.

Wang Cuo also nodded in his heart, a conservative thinking of war, to simplify the defense of the most important places as much as possible, because attacking the imperial capital means that there is not much time left for the existence of this country, and all the defenses are done outside.

So the further you go in front of this port, the more battleships you see.

In the non-war years, the naval port can also be used for commercial use, which can collect a lot of money...... Most of the warships were planned in an area, with a small port of call opening on the edge.

The old captain hoisted all the flags, and the ship was ready to dock.

But for some reason, several warships came from the left and right sides to surround the merchant ships.

The old captain carefully steered the merchant ship to the shore, and he called everyone to the deck, so that the soldiers of the warship could see that there was no danger in this civilian merchant ship.

Soldiers with sharp weapons had already appeared on the battleships on both sides...... When the ship landed, a whole group of soldiers lined up, and the only passage was filled with soldiers, all with iron masks covering their faces, and this formation frightened the merchants on board, and one of the generals, who was not led by a mask, stepped forward and shouted at the people on the merchant ship.

"I am Gypsyne, Admiral Kira, and by the will of King Mondrian, any approaching merchant ship must be observed and confirmed that it does not carry any disease before entering the port. ”

His words were straightforward, that is, during the so-called observation period, everyone had to stay on the ship and not go down.

"Why? I am a member of the National Chamber of Commerce of Gypsyin, and I accuse you in the name of the National Chamber of Commerce, General Kira, that you are restricting your personal freedom. Said one of the ship's merchants.

Is there a state-owned chamber of commerce in this country? Wang Cuo looked at the other party's excited look and said in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the targeted general was still expressionless, pulled out the sword at his waist and waved it directly to the beam of the sail.

"King Mondrian's decree that anyone who resists is to be beheaded, this is the first warning to the members of the Chamber of Commerce. He turned and left, leaving only the people on the boat looking at each other without knowing what had happened.

"Give them some food, don't let them starve, give them more meat, and say that the Chamber of Commerce members are also there. ”

In the distance, General Kira's words came, which could be regarded as calming the emotions of some people here.

There were probably only two people on the ship who understood what was going on.

Ketika Lucy looked at herself on her shoulder.

"Little red crow, did you say that the disease has spread here?"
