Chapter 430: Egret Harbor

This year, the situation in the Lionheart Empire was turbulent, and after two years of civil strife seemed to have subsided, Rhaegar gradually sat on the throne. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The whereabouts of the eldest prince Leo, who was fighting with him, are unknown after the defeat, and it is rumored that he has died in the chaos, and the second prince Layton is trapped in the western part of the empire.

Many nobles who supported Layton turned back, and his defeat seemed to be only a matter of time, while the third prince Wren firmly supported Laygar.

Almost everyone thought that the situation in the Empire would finally be stabilized, although two years ago most people were not optimistic that Rhaegar would be able to become emperor.

But now that the dust has settled, His Majesty Rhaegar will be His Majesty, for the nobles, it is just a purge and shuffle of power.

For ordinary people, all they want is a stable life, and the war will destroy their homes and take people's lives.

Although war can bring opportunities for young people to be promoted, once they die, there is nothing left, and this result is also expected by ordinary people.

However, just as autumn was falling, the Imperial Legion, which had just defeated the combined forces of Leo and Leighton, quickly headed south, aiming for Egret Harbor!

This made everyone stunned, the Rose family, as the pillar of the empire, had a great contribution in assisting the former Emperor Raymond to ascend to the throne.

The first Duke of Rose even married to the royal family, and his position was at the forefront of the few dukes in the empire.

It's just that Duke Rose died young, leaving Lady Rose widowed, and only her only daughter, Wendy, and the Rose family never interfered in internal affairs during these years.

Even in the battle for the throne, several princes fought in full swing, and the major families jumped out one after another to express their positions, but the Rose family remained silent.

In this case, the Imperial Army Center would suddenly march towards the Rose Family? It was too sudden to be able to get back to your senses.

At the same time, many people are worried, the Rose family is the southern overlord of the empire, holding twenty elite legions in their hands.

In the battle for the throne, if the Rose family joins the battle, it will inevitably turn the tide of the entire war, and even determine the ownership of the throne.

But in such a situation, the Rose family still chose to watch from the sidelines, which surprised most people, and this is not a waste of opportunity.

Egret Harbor is the most important outlet of the Rose family, with frequent maritime trade, and the cargo throughput has always ranked second in the mainland.

At this time, the originally prosperous Egret Port was surprisingly quiet, and the merchants who were supposed to transport goods in the port were all gone.

Instead of soldiers patrolling in armor, the entire harbor was filled with an oppressive aura of murder.

As far as the eye can see, the location of the port is a large area of black pressure ships, which is naturally commonplace in normal times, but now it is a little different.

Because the ships usually sail back and forth, the sailors began to set sail with songs, and their families saw them off in the harbor.

There are also singers singing and dancing on the bow of the ship, these merchants pay a lot of money to invite them on the ship, and seagulls dock on the mast from time to time, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

At this time, however, the ships on the sea were all docked not far from the port, and they were all neatly arranged, and they were all of a similar uniform style.

However, the rose flag of the Rose Family, which should have been hung the most, disappeared, and some of them were all golden lion battle flags.

This is the Peugeot of the Lion family, and these ships are all warships, and a large area of black pressure is docked on the sea, and there are two hundred of them!

The Imperial side has requisitioned almost all the naval forces at its disposal and imposed a complete blockade of Egret Harbor!

The Egret Mansion stands halfway up the coast, just in front of the huge fleet of ships blocking the harbor in the distance.

A young aristocratic woman looked to the north, behind her an officer wearing a family coat of arms engraved with a rose at her urging.

"Miss, let's go quickly, the Empire's naval commander, Admiral Heather, has conveyed His Highness Rhaeggar's ultimatum that the attack will be launched tomorrow. ”

The officer glanced at the sea worriedly, this huge fleet came too suddenly, and the navy of the Rose family was simply unable to resist.

"I see, I'll stand here a little longer, and I'll be leaving soon, and I won't lose too much time. ”

The young woman gently brushes her hair, the sea breeze blows on her face, and if the sun rises, it is definitely a beautiful scene.

However, today is not clear, and in front of the black and oppressive naval fleet, no one can maintain a calm posture.

"Those bastards in the royal capital, they clearly said that as long as our Rose family does not participate in the war, they will maintain the status of the Rose family, but as a result, they have just suppressed the civil strife, and they began to attack us, and there is a lot of quarrel in Rose City, what Lord Pompeii has done is really ......"

The officer stopped talking at this point, because what he was about to say was not suitable for him, and he was angry and looked very angry.

"He was my uncle after all, and he was the one who gave orders on my behalf before I officially took over the family. Her voice was cold, but her eyes were gentle.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate the battle flag of the fleet, and to reach the farther north, where she had written countless letters over the past two years.

But none of them were sent, and even then she repeated the process, going to this location every day to look at it from afar.

Maybe one day even she will forget why she's still waiting here, but what does it matter?

"But Miss, you are already an adult, Lord Pompey should complete the transfer of power, but he relies on his own military power, and he refuses to hand over power, who does not know his ambitions, Miss, you can't tolerate it like this anymore, this time Rose City must do something. ”

The officer gritted his teeth and said what he had held in his heart, he had served the former duke for many years, and he had always been a loyal courtier of the Rose family.

Pompeii's contempt for Wendy had already aroused the resentment of many people, but he had a firm grip on the military.

This made the old courtiers dare not speak out, if it wasn't for Pompey's insistence, why would the Rose family fall into such a situation?

"Needless to say, I know, let me take another look at the city, I know that once I return to the Rose City, I am afraid that the scenery here will never be seen again, and I will not be able to wait for the people who want to wait. Wendy's expression was lonely, and the sea breeze was blowing.

But she still turned away slowly, and for more than two years, she cheered at the slightest news from the Far East.

She was relieved to learn that he was safe, and she was anxious to learn that he was in danger in the north against the Medusa.

Now that the news is completely blocked, she has no idea what he is doing.

Sometimes she also longed that one day he would stand on the bow of a certain ship and come towards her.

But now that she's leaving, she can't wait for this day after all.
