078. I am in charge of the ten counties and dominate the north
Among the six islands of Tongxia.
After Blackbeard captured the easternmost island of Goi.
He immediately landed at the officer's fort on the island and wanted to loot all his belongings.
The nature of the pirates makes him do the same when he takes down any place.
But the people of this island were so poor that they searched for it, but they didn't find much treasure.
In recent years, there has been no war on the island, and the will of the defenders has been lax.
After all, natural turbulence is the most powerful protection.
Of the six islands, Imasin Island is the largest and most well-furnished on the island, and it was there that Reece Owen's fleet was placed last time.
The giant first attacked Nanxing Island, which had a stable current and the smallest land, with a fleet, and then led the Venetian fleet to attack, and the divine soldiers descended from the sky and successfully attacked it.
From Koi Island, you can reach Mashiki Island to the northwest.
From January to June, you can go straight to the wind.
But starting in July, the sea direction changes, and it is necessary to reverse the detour.
The Giants Coalition relied on the Knights Hospitaller in the East, and part of the Aegean Navy remained behind.
The fleet coming from the waterway in the direction of Koi Island has not been concerned.
Bran had reminded himself that every morning from the six islands, ships from other islands would pass by.
So Blackbeard didn't change the flag on the island, but he reversed the direction.
This means that the island has been captured.
It's a reminder to Bran and other allies.
After conquering the island of Goy, the giant brutally killed all the soldiers of the Purple Room on the island.
Not a single living mouth remained.
The corpses of hundreds of people can be burned overnight, which will attract attention
The giant stuffed the corpse directly into the soldier's fortress on the island.
And prepare the hot oil outside.
A fire at any time could burn down these hundreds of people along with the wooden fortress in an instant.
Rumble!
The water is constantly spurting out of the water, forming a column of water.
This is also due to the proximity to the island, the turbulence is smaller, and if you are far away from the island, the power is ten times greater.
The plan has reached its final step.
But whether it will succeed or not is still unknown.
Blackbeard reorganized the fleet and parked himself in the harbor, and most of his long-time cronies and sailors did not disembark.
The deck sailors were divided into three groups, and there were people awake at any time.
This is to prevent a riot and you can flee at any time if you can't hold on.
And Durham and his party, who were traveling with them, kept their distance from Blackbeard after taking control of the island.
Polarin rested with the rest of his men while asking Duren why did Bran rebel against the giants?
The Swedish Viking fleet, which fought together, didn't understand either.
For the people of the North and Scandinavia (Viking Isles), it is normal to belong to the strong.
"It's a wise move to obey the strong." They said.
Du Lun only replied, "Your Highness is to protect the bright world and protect our faith, and it is right for us to follow Your Highness." “
This is a scene, in fact, Duren has put himself in Bran's position and analyzed it.
Italy is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and although it is rich, it is surrounded by powerful enemies.
Pirates and foreign navies, as long as they are strong enough, can harass you along the coastline at any time, and they are invincible.
Besides, Bran is not the master of the whole island.
The total population of the area under the actual control of northern Italy does not exceed 700,000, and the number of mountain people is only a few tens of thousands.
The most populous area in Italy is around Rome.
It is also a grain field production area.
But Rome is in the hands of the Bright Princes Chai Su, and Bran can't beat it.
The Teutonic Knights were at odds with the Franks and Swabia again, and there were no allies to the north.
If you go east into the Balkans and Eastern Europe, it will be even worse if you directly have friction with the Purple Room.
Venice is now controlled by giants, like a sword in front of their eyes.
You can stab yourself blind at any time, and the threat is huge.
If you worship the purple room as a foreign prince, the giant will succeed.
Bran has a smaller way to live.
Suddenly changing beliefs, it is difficult to obtain the approval of the Orthodox lords, and even in the Holy Land Kingdom to the east, Bran does not have to think about establishing relations anymore.
Lionheart can communicate directly with the Purple Room.
Therefore, you can temporarily take refuge in the giants, but when you have the opportunity, you must rebel.
And the opposite is fast and ruthless!
If the giant doesn't react in time, he will be knocked down.
The giants boasted of their prowess and used the Mediterranean as their hunting ground.
The documents addressed to the monarchs of various countries regarded themselves as guardians of the Orthodox Church.
Letters sent to the North were also heard by Durham at meetings of the Irish Union.
His words were arrogant, and he even asked the north to send an envoy to Venice to establish relations (canonized by him).
After Wakabran forbears, he helped the giant defeat Chai Su and stabilize Italy.
The East and West churches were merged.
Bran may be forced to convert to Orthodoxy.
Lost faith first, isolated.
After that, the law of Northern Italy is more likely to be disrupted, and then Bran still has a duke title about to snicker.
The surroundings must be watched by the nobles of the Purple Room.
Nine times out of ten, this situation is true.
And before destroying Chai Su, if you cooperate with Chai Su.
Two weak against one strong, if you lose, you can also make a reputation for reviving the bright world, and no matter how bad it is, you can flee to Castile in the Western Peninsula, or the Holy City Kingdom.
Although there are adventures and benefits, you can try them.
One step to endure, step by step passive.
One step to fight, the sky is wide.
Guess what Bran thinks is like this.
Duren also came up with the idea of taking a gamble with all his might.
Italy is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is the land of four wars, but it is finally a place where culture and commerce flourish.
His home country, Ireland, is no better.
Old friends of the Viking Isles came to visit when they were short of money and food.
If you don't give it, you just grab it.
England and Scotland regard Ireland as their own backyard.
The tone is rude and commanding.
Not to mention the Franks in the south.
is a big country, and I haven't looked at myself (and I haven't seen anyone).
The only thing he can bully is the "Iceland" region in the far northwest.
But the place was full of tens of thousands of people, mixed with a lot of Viking blood, and the islanders were poor, with only two trousers per person.
He is now a Irish tycoon (minor lord).
Ireland has five counties (five dukedoms).
I have worked hard all my life, I don't know if I can become the lord of the two counties?
In the Alps, if Bran hadn't saved him, he would have died.
When a man goes through a great tribulation, he will always understand that power and status will surpass everything else, and it is more important than a woman.
He also wants to be called His Royal Highness, and he travels majesticly.
His soldiers have more days than cattle and sheep.
There are eleven counties in England.
Ireland has five counties.
Together, the two make up sixteen counties, and more than half of them are nine counties.
Durham wants to add more than half, and that is ten counties.
If one day, he can become the lord of the ten counties in the north, what kind of scenery would it be?
Duren's heart is small, thinking that he will become the overlord of the region and be able to lead the ten counties in the north.
On the island of Goy, Durham looked at the black and oppressive sea, as if he saw the girl he had fallen in love with when he was twelve.
She was a Viking, but the lord of Ireland at the time, because of the war with the Vikings, ordered the expulsion of all Vikings.
If only he had the strength to protect the girl at that time......
A bright future beckons to you!
This battle must be won!
……
"Your Highness, it's almost time to reach the island of Goi!"
"The theodolite of the astrolabe is well controlled."
Edvina personally went to the deck to command.
After a night of desperate running, he finally returned to the island.
At this point, Edwin finally had the idea of eating.
There was also emergency dry food on board, and the bear had returned to normal after a day's rest.
Now they have four ships left in this fleet.
Plus twenty people around Remilia.
The number of people is about 300.
After escaping, these turbulences seemed to them much cuter and not scary at all.
But they underestimated the fjord.
The range of activity of the people of the Three Rivers was in the Aegean Sea, and the Slovenes trade route, also from the coastal sea route southward.
In addition, they followed the Purple Room Navy before, and there were people to follow, so there was no chaos.
Seeing the position of the pointer on the astrolabe moving steadily, and feeling that it would be safe immediately, the seafarer who operated the ship suddenly increased the range of his movements and wanted to land on the island quickly.
Remilia slowly approached Edvena.
Being rescued this time changed my impression of the people of Mikawa.
These people are straightforward and atmospheric, and after they were rescued on the boat, they were very polite
Food and water are given priority to the sailors on their side.
But in fact, this is deliberate by the people of Mikawa.
Edwin knew the identity of Remilia's daughter, and at this time, there was a lot of charcoal to be sent in the snow, which made it easier for the future relationship to be concluded.
"Your Highness Edvenna, after we land on the island, we will immediately ask the sailors guarding the island to inform Your Majesty that Bran has rebelled and I don't know how many people will follow, and none of them can be let go."
Edwin was about to nod his head when the sea began to shake as the captain shouted, "No, how did you control the boat, how did the hull pull back!"
Edwin was about to communicate with Remilia when the water swayed, and he suddenly lost his footing and pounced on Remilia, and the two collided with each other.
It was the first time for a male daughter to be so close to a man, and she was anxious to push it away.
Edwin was nothing, he was sixteen years old, and he was the master of the party.
As long as the Three Rivers woman is not married, he can do whatever he wants, and he also has three little lovers.
I won't be shaken by the fact that I touch a woman.
Before Remilia could push the man away.
Another loud bang.
Then both of them saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.
The ship flies in the sky!
Fly higher!
A strong column of water poured out of the water, rushing straight into the bottom of a boat and then into the sky.
More than fifty people on the boat shouted.
The current continued to push upwards, and the boat was finally pushed up by 700 meters.
After the tide receded, the boat was simply thrown off.
Fortunately, the water column was slowly receding, and the ship did not descend very quickly, and when it finally landed, the hull was not damaged much.
But after this change, everyone was afraid.
Edwin let go of Remilia and shouted to his sailors, "Row according to the previous theodolite record, don't deviate!"
But the return was, "Your Highness, we are not offset, the turbulence is too strong, we can only be stronger according to the recorded position!"
There is a pattern to the turbulence at sea, but they don't have sailors in the purple room on board, so they don't know how to deal with it.
At this time, all the surrounding seas are filled with columns of water.
Even if it is as strong as a bear, it must also give birth to a sense of weakness in the face of the vast force of nature.
The four boats went straight ahead at full strength.
The chaotic currents pushed the water surface so violently and violently that they didn't even need to control the sails, they were directly pushed by the strong water.
The hull of the ship was beyond the speed of the sea that he could control, and the captain could only watch dryly.
"Resist the past! I can resist it!"
Edwin raised the Shattered Star Sword high, and under the gaze of the big bear, he tore out his throat and shouted, stabilizing the morale of the army.
In less than ten minutes, four boats were washed up on the edge of the island of Goi.
The four boats seemed to be protected by God, and they passed the rough waves safely.
"Thank the Lord for saving us Lambs in confusion, and all glory be to you......"
Remilia lays down the cross and prays for success.
But just as she was about to land, she realized that something was wrong and hurriedly pulled Edvenna's arm.
"Look, that's not right!"
Edwin looked over and said, "Why did you put it in reverse?"
"There is a problem on this island, Your Majesty attaches the most importance to the appearance of the military flag, in Venice, there are nobles who mistakenly put the unicorn battle flag back, and they were almost locked up, one or two flags are misplaced, you see this row is ...... Bran's people can't say they're up there!"
A woman's instincts are sometimes right.
Just after two catastrophes, everyone is suspicious.
Edwin was suddenly unsure whether he should go to the island or not.
There is a password to land on the island, and before they all crossed the island shore, they were all handled by Karp's people.
He didn't know what the password was, and for safety, he had his men shout in Greek with a three-river accent that the ship was going to dock.
The soldiers on the island replied in a strange way, although it was also Greek, but it was not the tone of the Aegean region, close to the giants.
He has been a hostage since he was a child, and he has heard all the tones of the Aegean Sea, even the tone of Junbao.
Edvenna shouted again, "According to Your Majesty's order, please inform us of the landing order before our troops can go ashore." ”
Edwin in turn asked for a password, and the defenders on the island didn't know that.
All the soldiers on the island were killed.
No one asks.
Blackbeard hid in the harborside boat, and saw the four ships through the moonlight.
In the dark night just now, he was awakened by his subordinates, thinking that the island had been discovered by the Purple Room army, and he almost fled in the wilderness.
After seeing that there were only four boats, he decided to stand still and see the changes first.
Durham and the others were on the shore, and in their ranks, there were Bran's Peninsula soldiers, so there were people who knew Greek, but they could not answer the question of the command of the people of Trois-Rivières.
Then Edwin said, "Isn't it Aschucle. Komnenos?"
The island replied yes.
Giants are the heaviest etiquette.
How could it be his own name, as a subordinate to the island password such a taboo thing.
Edwin immediately ordered to pull back, I don't know how many people on the island, I dare to get off the ship, if there are many enemies, then there is really no place to escape.
At least there are ships that can go on the sea, and it is safe to say that it is safe.
When Durham saw the four boats pulling back, he immediately ordered them to stop and inspect them, and the defenders of the island landed on the shore at full speed.
Blackbeard, who had been on the boat on the shore, also gave the order to attack.
His ship was ready to go, and at the sound of an order, the whole ship was immediately launched.
The Three Rivers warship was obviously somewhat damaged by the waves, and in the face of the intact pursuers, the speed could not be separated.
Anxious and afraid of being overtaken.
But after being chased, Remilia came up with an idea, "Your Highness, don't panic, they don't dare to chase!"
"Why is that?" This time it was Da Xiong who asked, and he was also afraid that the lord would be in trouble.
"They were able to seize the island, presumably through turbulence, and they must have known the benefits and disadvantages of turbulence, and what they wanted to chase or not was perhaps because they knew the changes in turbulence and judged that we had entered the danger zone and would be disintegrated by the current, so they did not go all out.
Let's test it, turn the course, and if they accelerate, it means that my guess is true.
Then they will speed up the ship and escape, if they do not move, then continue to adjust the direction, through the six islands of the gorge, with the main force of His Majesty, they cannot all occupy, maybe they have just captured here. ”
This is the princess's order to encourage morale, don't be afraid.
Her analysis made Edwin feel good about her a lot.
A woman who reacts quickly is indeed likable.
Especially now I can help myself.
They began to adjust, and Blackbeard's fleet didn't move much.
But after the change of his fleet in a certain direction, the enemy fleet suddenly shouted and ran towards him with all his might.
Edwin and Big Bear also went down to row the rudder.
The soldiers are with their lives, and all of them are going to be cut off, but they still have to be caught up.
At this time, a boat directly slowed down and crashed into Blackbeard's boat!
Keep one, keep three.
Half of the more than 50 people on this boat were his father's own soldiers.
Staying in the fjord forever, Edwin's breath almost didn't ease, and his heart was extremely distressed.
