Chapter 101: Preparing for War

Lightning bolts lit up the black sky, and bursts of rolling thunder came from far away, from far and near.

Alamsey carefully measured himself in the mirror.

He was dressed in a crisp sky-blue military uniform, with no wrinkles on his body, the stars on his shoulders shining in the light of the lampstand hanging from the ceiling, the golden tassels on his chest hung proudly and reservedly, and a long sword given to him by the king himself leaned majestically on his hips.

The governor, who has reached middle age, put on this military uniform that he has not worn for a long time, and his whole body shows a sassy demeanor.

His eyes, which had been a little dull in wine and depression, became bright and energetic.

Only those who are familiar with him know that this is the Alamasei, who bravely entered the imperial capital in his teens, defeated countless young talents, and competed with Bisselliu for Isabella.

There are two most difficult things in the world, first, to win the world, and second, to win the hearts of beautiful women.

A peerless beauty like Isabella with status, status, and fame, with suitors ranging from princes and nobles to peerless powerhouses, is as numerous as a carp crossing the river.

Fighting his way out of thousands of suitors, Alamsey relied on his skills and abilities!

Compared with those who are proficient in magic in hand-to-hand combat, with those who are strong in fighting with knowledge, and with noble scholars with bravery and martial strength, Alamsey is always able to use his sleek and skillful wrists to move among others, and always fight with the weakest side of his opponent with his strongest side.

This seems simple, but it may be really done, looking at the imperial capital back then, there were only two people.

Alamseih and Biserius.

Even the emperor of the Pound Empire sighed and said: Such a talent is actually from a subject country, my courtiers should be ashamed!

In the battle for Isabella that year, both Alamsher and Bisselio were defeated by the patriarch of the Kelsman family, which was a huge blow and impact on them.

Bisselius returned to the Duchy of York and became an evergreen in the political and military arenas, if it were not for the pursuit of the pirate Tang Jie to ruin his reputation in his later years, otherwise the trajectory of Pisellieu's life is very commendable.

But Alamshe, who was also a competitor for Isabella and a loser, did not have such a good attitude as Biserius, and after he returned to the Duchy of Marta, with the favor of the king, he came to Sisis and became a governor in this prosperous and luxurious place for decades.

The spirit of his single-handedly breaking into the imperial capital back then was all consumed by the intoxicating luxury and endless banquets here.

As a result, the majestic nobles of the year suffered a miserable defeat to an unknown young pirate in the Battle of Sissy.

Although this is not unrelated to Alamsei's greed and contempt for enemies, Alamsei's inaction and decay in Sisis are admitted.

After the king of the Principality of Marta called Alam Shei into the palace urgently, he never received him, and directly left him aside, making him wait in fear for a month.

It wasn't until one day that the king summoned Alam Shei into the palace, and the old king pointed to an oil painting and said to him: "Alam Shei, do you still recognize this painting?"

Alam Xie saw that this was the time when he was most energetic, a court painter painted a portrait of a horse for him, he was heroic back then, his eyes were like a torch, where was he so down-and-out like now, even an unknown pirate could bully him?

Alam Xie immediately understood the meaning of the king showing him this painting, and his face immediately turned red, and he rubbed his lips and said: Your Majesty, this is your ......

The king looked at him meaningfully: But I don't think it looks like you at all!

He was summoned by the king to Beijing, and Alam Xie was ready to lose his official position and lose his life, but he didn't expect that when the king met him, the first thing he asked was not why he was defeated by a pirate, nor the whereabouts of the pirate king's treasure.

His Majesty's question, though simple, still revealed a strong sense of favor, and although there was anger at him, it was more of a whip and encouragement.

When Alamsey heard this, he died of shame.

If Tang Jie beat Alam Xie in the Battle of Sissis, then the king's words woke him up.

A beast that has been beaten and calmed down is extremely terrifying.

The king saw what he wanted in Alamsei's eyes, nodded with satisfaction, said no more, and personally sent Alamsei out of the palace, and before leaving, he said to Alamsei: Go, bring me the head of the pirate named Tang Jie, and I will use his head to tell the others that Aiqing is still the tiger of my Duchy of Mata! And in my opinion, the treasure of Athos is far less important than Aiqing's cheering!

If a street is destroyed in your own territory, your fleet is destroyed by a large number of people, and the prestige of your kingdom is ruined, you will not be guilty of it!

Jun Eun is like this, what can he say?

A king can do this to his courtiers, and he really can't ask for anything more.

Whether it is revenge or revenge, Alam Xie knows in his heart that he can only wash away his shame and repay His Majesty's favor by cutting off the pirate's head with his own hands.

"Your ......Excellency," a maid holding a mahogany plate next to him called softly, waking Alam Shei back from his contemplative state.

Alam Shei tilted his head and saw the maid next to him holding a mahogany plate full of medals in her hand, looking at herself curiously, as if she was very uncomfortable with the changes she had made since returning from the palace.

Alam Shei turned around and hung the medal on his chest, he raised his head slightly, and the whole person was lined with rows of shiny medals on his chest, like the finishing touch, and suddenly became mighty.

The maid secretly looked at Alamsey from the side, and there was a little flattery in the corner of her eye.

On weekdays, this is just a bald middle-aged man who is dying and waiting for death, but now, he shakes off the dust and lust all over his body, and regains the youthful demeanor of the imperial capital.

Most of the ladies in the Governor's Mansion were young and beautiful, and they were allowed to be enjoyed by Alam Shei, and when they were idle, they always pouted when they mentioned this promiscuous governor, and they all thought that he was just a stupid pig raised in the court.

But now it seems that he is a stupid pig? This is clearly a vigorous tiger!

What woman doesn't like heroes?

In the past, when she was harassed by Alamshe, the maid still felt miserable, but now it seems that she has a little heart in her heart, as if serving this governor is a beautiful thing, and her lower abdomen feels hot and emotional.

Normally, if Alam Shei saw the appearance of this maid's red ears and temples, he would definitely make a big fuss, but today, Alam Shei didn't even look at her, but finally fastened his collar and the shining metal button, stepped on the stiff high leather boots, and walked out of his study.

The maid looked at the back of Alamshei as she left rather disappointed and surprised, she was stunned for a moment, and then went out the door.

As soon as she went out, she saw several other frightened maids come up to her, grabbed her hand, and shouted in surprise, asking if she had seen any change in the Governor.

The beautiful maid smiled and said, "Only a blind man cannot see the changes in our Governor, do you say that I am blind?"

Several of the other maids chattered about why Alamsey had changed so much and what had happened to him.

The beautiful maid listened to it, but she was thinking in her heart: Maybe it was because Lord Alamsey was humiliated a little too hard by a pirate named Tang Jie a few days ago, so he rose up, right?

For this pirate named Tang Jie, this beautiful maid can be said to have heard it so much that her ears are calloused.

Now in the whole of Sissy, if you have not heard of the name of the pirate Tang Jie, you will definitely be ridiculed for being uninformed, and in every bar there is a rumor of the legendary battle in which he completely annihilated the entire Sisis Third Coastal Guard with a few outnumbered people.

For such a person who is in the limelight, the beautiful maid has fantasized about his appearance and posture more than once.

Especially today, if Lord Alamsey is still so heroic, what kind of heroic posture will he be if he completely annihilates the entire Third Coastal Guard and defeats the pirate Tang Jie, who is surrounded by Lord Alamsey and Duke Biserius?

Thinking of this, the beautiful maid couldn't help but be a little distracted, and gradually became stupid.

Of course, Alam Shei would not know the thoughts of these maids in his house, and all his thoughts were now on the woman he was about to meet.

Speaking of this woman, there are very few people in this world who have never heard of her name, but very few people have actually seen her appearance.

This woman is the world-famous "countess".

Speaking of which, the Countess and Alamsey also have a lot of connections.

If it weren't for the failure of his pursuit of the countess's mother, Isabella, who knows if there would be a "countess" in this world?

Thinking of this, a hint of sigh and a bitter smile appeared on Alamshe's face.

Riding in the luxurious carriage, Alamsey rushed to the place where the countess lived as soon as possible.

After getting out of the car, a graceful maid welcomed him into the palatial mansion of the Countess.

The reason why he was in such a hurry to see the Countess was to know what the plans of this strong dragon that had been entrenched in Sisis for more than a month before he did it himself.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not crush the head snake.

But the problem is that this strong dragon has to see how strong it is.

A person like the Countess who coughs lightly and the Pound Continent is also going to be shaken three times, that is definitely not something that Alam Shei can suppress.

On the way here, Alamshei kept wondering why people like the Countess came to Sissia.

Presumably a fancy to the treasure of Athos?

It seems that the heavy damage that Athos inflicted on the family more than a hundred years ago is still fresh in their memories, and they must not allow anyone to rise again with the help of Athos's treasure.

Thinking of this, Alamsey thought of the words of His Majesty the King, who was extremely generous to himself: It seems to me that the treasure of Athos is not as important as the cheering up of Aiqing.

Is this because His Majesty already knew that the Countess had set his sights on the treasure of Athos?

He knew that I wouldn't be able to capture the treasure, and that the most I could do was kill the pirate, so he showed him magnanimity?

Alamsey thought about it, and sighed slightly in his heart: Conspiracy......

After passing the garden of roses with the pleasant fragrance of flowers, and entering the antechamber, not caring to look at the delicate gold objects and gorgeous jade vases that surrounded the hall, Alamsey followed the maid who led the way with a reserved and proud manner, walking slowly, the hard soles of his shoes leaving a deep footprint on the soft carpet.

The maid gently knocked on a wooden door carved with epic myths, and gently stepped aside, and a man as burly as an iron tower opened the door, glancing at Alam Shea with a lightning gaze.

"Madame has been waiting for you for a long time...... Iron Tower said in a deep voice, making a way out of the way.

Alamsei's heart jumped, this sentence was a pun, which made people a little unpredictable.

Has the Countess been waiting for me to see Sisis since she came to him, or has she just been waiting for me?

If it's the former, is this a rebuke?

When a weak person sees a strong person, he will always have a lot of scruples and thoughts.

Alamsie was a man as powerful as a tiger in Sisis, but as weak as an ant compared to the countess.

When I entered the room, I was greeted by an air of luxury, and the floor was covered with thick and soft pure white fur, and there was no other color in sight.

This kind of fur is the fur stripped from the snow fox, and it can only be found in the extreme northern continent where the ice and snow world is full of ice and snow, and the snow fox without a trace of variegation, the coat color is shiny and lubricated, and it cannot be found anywhere else.

An adult snow fox is no bigger than a domestic dog, and the only thing that can be used to sew a carpet is less than three palms of wool on the lower abdomen, because only the fur in the lower abdomen is the softest part of the snow fox.

But such a small piece of wool, after crossing the continent from the far north through three oceans, and returning to the Pound continent, it has become a sky-high price, which is more precious than the same volume of gold!

This luxury is not only a symbol of wealth, but also a symbol of status. With the snow fox being hunted and killed, it is now rare to see snow fox fur, the market is priceless, and only people with real status can get such a cherished fur luxury.

Even the king of the Duchy of Mata gave his favorite concubine a snow fox fur scarf on her birthday, so much so that the concubine often showed off to the other concubines with complacency.

But like in front of me, a whole extremely spacious bedroom, the floor is all covered with snow fox fur carpets, such a large snow fox fur, how much more than priceless?

Although Alam Shei pays attention to pomp and luxury, he has never seen such a scene.

What shocked Alam Xie even more was that every value of the colorful corals and flawless jade objects placed in this house was not under this snow fox carpet!

This formidable atmosphere of wealth and intimidating aristocratic style suddenly shocked Alamsey's heart!

However, none of this is more eye-catching than a woman.

The Countess was lying on a soft bed with a dark red carved drape, her graceful body gently pressing the soft mattress into a shallow depression, and the undulating curves were thrilling.

Margaret turned her back to Alamshe, holding a dossier in one hand, and from a distance, Alamsey could see the woman's white fingers and bare plump jade feet, which made people's hearts itch.

This is a sultry to the extreme, no movement, no deliberate grooming, Margaret just shows her back and her fair skin, which makes people want to crawl at her feet, willing for her to drive.

I heard that her man is a violent maniac with a deformed body, I really don't know if it's true or fake, what kind of woman is her, what does it look like when she is wantonly ****?

The woman in front of him seemed to have endless magical power, and she **** herself into an inextricable abyss, Alamsey didn't dare to look at it anymore, he lowered his head, made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "A vassal of the Pound Empire, the governor of Sisis in the Principality of Marta, Alamsei, has seen the respected countess. ”

When Margaret heard Alamsey's voice, she didn't answer immediately, but just lay lazily on the bed, gently flipping through the file in her hand, and after she turned the page of the file in front of her with her fingers, she said lightly: "Lord Alamshe, you're late." ”

Alamasey didn't know how to answer this, so he was silent.

Margaret's tone was so flat that it was impossible to tell what she was thinking: "If you hadn't come so late, how could you have lost so ugly?"

A complicated look flashed in Alamshe's eyes.

The countess's words were a bit of a pretext, not without blame, and he still didn't know how to answer, so he continued to be silent, he knew that the countess would never put her words on this sentence.

Sure enough, the countess then asked, "I heard that you have mobilized all the naval fleets of the Sises and are ready to set off?"

Alam Shei bowed in reply, his voice rather high-pitched: "Yes, Honorable Earl. The mighty Sisitic navy has already hoisted its sails and polished its cannons, and our soldiers are making final preparations for battle with the highest fighting spirit and the fullest spirit! In five days at most, our ships will be able to leave the port, and in ten days at most, our cannons will be able to sweep away the pirates' lair!"

"Heh......" the countess smiled faintly, no one knew what she was laughing at, "Do you know where their lair is?"

"Yes, my lord!" Alam Shea certainly won't forget where Alcatraz is, a place of shame that he will never forget.

"But, do you know your opponent's current strength and details?" The Countess turned her head slightly, revealing a faint smile in the corner of her eye.

Alamsey was silent for a moment, in his opinion, he didn't need to know the strength of his opponent at all.

What if Tang Jie and the others had three griffon-class warships?

There are twenty times more warships of the Sisius Navy!

Moreover, this time they will definitely not underestimate again!

Besides, even if they built Alcatraz into a sea fortress, so what?

I can strangle their supply lifeline and trap them alive on this isolated island without even firing a single cannonball!

Alam Shei thought so, and the Countess knew that Alamsey would do so.

But she still asked this question, because she always felt that this pirate named Tang Jie seemed to have some hole cards hidden in his hand, and she had not been able to find out about him these days.

The dark-haired pirate seems to have disappeared from the Roentgen Sea, in Sisis, and his figure and smell are nowhere to be found.

After studying Tang Jie's deeds, the Countess came to a conclusion.

This man is a character who can change the tide of battle, he always appears at the most critical time of the battle, when the situation is the most critical, when the enemy is the weakest, his appearance often turns into a fierce dagger, viciously stabbing the enemy's heart, and then killing with one blow, thus turning the tide of the battle!

He is a covered hole card on the table, no one knows what this hole card is, no one knows how strong he is, but once this hole card is turned over, it can turn the tide and create miracles.

In the Countess's opinion, as long as you catch this hole card and figure out the strength of this hole card, then the role of this hole card is nullified.

But now, Tang Jie has disappeared, and the hole cards on the card table have disappeared before the countess can investigate clearly!

This made the Countess very vigilant, she was a woman who was very careful about layout and strategy, and liked to plan everything in order from the beginning, and when things really began, the result was already decided.

Find, be sure to find him!

In this world, there is no one who the Kelsman family can't find!

The Countess smiled faintly, turned her face away, and set the tone for the meeting in a slow and gentle tone: "I have heard a saying: Keep your eyes open and see clearly the strength of your enemies, so that you will not underestimate them, and polish your eyes and see your own strength clearly, so that you will not be arrogant." Wait two days, and my men will send you all the details of this pirate. When the time comes, you'll be able to attack as much as you want. ”

The Countess smiled softly: "You don't want him to suddenly appear and give you a fatal blow when the whole battle is at the most critical point, right?"

When Alamsey heard this, he subconsciously wanted to refute.

But he thought about it suddenly, didn't Tang Jie suddenly appear on Alcatraz Island and then give them a fatal blow?

Who would have thought that this pirate would appear on Alcatraz before them?

But what about this time?

Will this comet-like pirate strike out again?
