May 1261 in the royal calendar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In a sea area between the continents of Tanya and Ramiré, four warships stayed on the calm sea.

The sky was blue, the wind was beautiful, and the sea was unusually calm. It should be a good day, especially for someone adrift at sea.

However, for Grant, who was sitting on a warship, the good weather did not change his bad mood. His eyebrows twisted into a pimple, his face turned grim as he looked at the map, and finally angrily threw the map to the ground and stomped on it twice.

"Bastard, Abula has already built the walls of the sea, and this map has nothing, so what use do I want him?" Grant let out an angry growl.

For the past five years, Grant has lived with Quintina, who is his older sister, and it is always a little inconvenient to do something on her own.

For five years, Croft died violently. Grant wondered why Croft, who was usually quite fit, suddenly fell ill, and even if there was no sufficient evidence, he always felt that he had a lot to do with Quintina.

Her relationship with Croft is known to almost everyone, although the two are mother and daughter in name, but the real situation is that Croft is old enough to be her father. So even if there is something out of the ordinary between the two, it's normal.

However, after Croft's death, Quintina came together with Zephnaia at a speed that would be incomprehensible to ordinary people.

As the former head of the Royal Knights and one of the few paladins in the Ravel Empire, Zephnaia's strength is enough to change the course of a battle. And Quintina has ten princes as a guarantee, plus she firmly holds Zephnaia, and she has a place in the future battle for imperial power.

By this time, Grant had finally figured out that even if Quintina took the throne in the future, it would be her son who would inherit it, and it had nothing to do with him. He is at most a big nobleman, give some money, maybe have a fief, or maybe no fief.

He didn't want to sit still, so he took Simmons with him to return to Tanya Island.

Quintina didn't want to disobey Grant, so she brought Grant four warships and fifteen hundred soldiers for Grant to play with himself.

When Grant got on board, his first target was Abule, who he remembered being easily defeated by the Wach, and he thought he could try it too. As a result, after arriving at the sea area of Abula, he was surprised to find that on the sea surface of Abula, I don't know when, a wall thirty meters above the sea had already been built, and there were three huge gates embedded in the city wall, which were supposed to allow merchant ships to pass, but now they were tightly closed, and he was not welcome as an uninvited guest.

Come with the excitement and return with the defeat.

Still, Grant believes he can get into Aboul, and all he needs is a chance. He had already thought about it, and when a large merchant ship came, he would go up and rob the merchant ship, and then disguise himself as a crew, enter Abula, and sneak attack from the inside.

With this in mind, Grant docked the ship at sea and waited for an opportunity. But I didn't expect that this wait was half a month. For so long, he had not found a suitable ship, because they were too small to fit a few people. If you go in with one or two hundred people, isn't that a self-defeating trap?

However, in addition to not being able to wait for a suitable merchant ship, there was another problem that became more and more prominent, and it gradually became the problem they continued to solve - they did not have enough food. In recent days, Grant has been encouraging the soldiers to take the initiative to fish on their own to alleviate the difficulties caused by food, and as for the soldiers who have been talking about returning to Seghat, Grant has chosen to turn a blind eye.

"Adult ......"

Simmons rushed into Grant's room in a panic, and when he saw Grant sitting in a chair and looking at the floor angrily, he immediately became cautious.

"Your Excellency, we have seen a merchant ship. ”

Grant's eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked up at Simmons, "How many, what is the size of the ship?"

"Three, each ship has about a few dozen sailors, if you squeeze it a little more, plus the cabin, it is estimated that it should be able to fit five or six hundred people. Simmons said as he thought back to the ships at sea.

"Five or six hundred, won't all of our soldiers be able to get in? Okay, get the soldiers ready, and follow me to take down these three boats." Grant stood up excitedly, then hurried out of the room, took the monoporous telescope, and looked in the direction of Simmons' finger.

Sure enough, three large merchant ships were slowly heading in a direction parallel to their merchant ships.

"Hurry up and lift the anchor, don't let them run. ”

Grant's order spread quickly, and the four warships slowly turned around, and when everything was ready, they headed for the three merchant ships at full speed.

Perhaps because the merchant ships were loaded with too much cargo, or perhaps because the soldiers were too excited, the speed of four warships far exceeded the speed of three merchant ships. After about an hour of pursuit, Grant's warship finally caught up with the merchant ship.

Four warships docked on either side of the merchant ship, and finally three merchant ships were forced to stop.

After dropping the anchor, four half-meter-wide planks stretched out from the warship and set up on the merchant ship, countless soldiers boarded the ship through the planks, and the sailors on the ship did not know what was happening, and they all raised their hands with confused expressions. The captain hurried out of the living quarters, and when he saw such a scene, this person was stupid.

"You're the captain here?"

Grant jumped onto the merchant ship and looked at the captain standing upstairs. The captain woke up from a dream and immediately descended the stairs and quickly came to Grant's side, but was stopped by the soldiers beside Grant. The captain could only look at Grant with a dry smile, "Uncle, what wind blew you here?" ”

It is common to encounter pirates at sea, and at most they will be robbed of some money by pirates, and one will not worry about his life. I think it's the same this time.

Originally, he also had a chance to avoid these ships, but seeing that they didn't hang the pirate flag, and their ships were far more high-end than the pirate ships, he didn't pay much attention to them, but it turned out that he really thought too much.

The corners of Grant's mouth turned up slightly: "You all have what I want, so I'm welcome." ”

"Then you say, I'll go and let the sailors fetch it. The captain rubbed his hands together and said flatteringly.

"Then you can hear me clearly. Grant's eyes narrowed, but his face was fierce, "I want your life, and your ship." (To be continued.) )
