Chapter 589: The Impact of the Situation

The Snow Queen's change of exterior livery, sail flags, and shape naturally attracted the attention of the ship's passengers, and the old captain easily deceived the passengers on the ship on the grounds of avoiding detection.

In fact, it doesn't matter if the old captain doesn't have any doubts, most of the passengers on the ship are interested in the magic of the Snow Queen, when they see the hull of the Ice Queen stretching and lengthening in front of their eyes, the mast turning into a spinnaker in their eyes, and the whole ship has changed from a large white sailboat to a large speedboat, and all that is left in their minds is curiosity about this magical sailing ship, and other questions have long been forgotten by them.

The voyage went smoothly and there were no further incidents, the only thing that made the people on board uncomfortable was that they often felt inexplicably nervous, especially among the sailors on board, who often fell to their knees involuntarily.

However, compared to the passengers and most of the sailors on the ship, who were ignorant of what was happening to them, the family crews like the old captain, who had mutated to a certain extent, knew very well where the source of this phenomenon was.

Although the crew couldn't bear to lose control again and again, they came to the old captain one after another, asking the old captain to come forward and ask Leo what happened and if he could stop, but the old captain ignored the crew's request, and just let the crew endure it, anyway, there are not many days.

Compared with the route of the Pearl Island Chain, it is obviously much faster to go directly from the Falling Star Sea to the Principality of Pus, and the formation of nearly a month has been reduced to more than ten days, and after the Ice Queen set off from that small island, her luck has not changed much, not only the route she walked not only follows the current, but also follows the sea breeze, and does not encounter any bad weather such as storms.

This smooth sailing greatly reduced the sailing schedule of only ten days to about ten days, including the few days they spent on the island.

Maybe everything was going too well, when the old captain saw a ship hanging with a ship of the Principality of Pus Maritime Patrol Fleet appearing in the distance, he almost thought it was a camouflage carried out by pirates, after all, pirates disguised as patrol fleets of some countries to rob are not uncommon in Velon, and some may even be patrol fleets.

When the patrol fleet of the Duchy of Pro appeared, the old captain directly hung up the flag of the Grand Duke of the Duchy in order to avoid trouble, disguising himself as the private fleet of the Grand Duke of Pro.

Naturally, the patrol fleet would not give up the inspection of the Ice Queen with just one flag, after all, flags can be faked, but when they approached the Ice Queen and received some documents from the old captain, they were sure that the ship in front of them was indeed the Grand Duke's ship.

So, they not only let it go, but also sent two armed dinghys to escort the odd-looking speedboat to Simps Harbor.

The Duchy of Pus is the most special principality of the Kingdom of Mares, the founder of this Duchy of Puse I is a Dalyat, when he rescued the king of the Kingdom of Mares in Roland, and helped the king regain the throne, so the king gave him the southernmost part of the Kingdom of Maris a Purth woodland and several small fishing villages around it, and named him the Grand Duke of Prussia.

Although the Grand Duke of Puth was the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Mares, the Grand Duke himself never joined the Kingdom of Mares, and regarded himself as a Dalyat, and because when he helped the king regain the throne, he had a feud with many southern nobles, and King Maris probably did not have any good intentions to seal him to the south, so he could not get any support from the king, and finally he chose to ask Dalyat for help.

The then king of Dagliat saw this as an opportunity, and even if he failed, he would have nothing to lose, and if he succeeded, he would be able to have an enclave in the south.

Therefore, Dalyat immediately sent some well-trained warriors to the Duchy of Puz in the form of immigrants, and after joining the Duchy of Pus, these warriors helped the Grand Duke of Puth resist many attacks by the southern aristocracy, and finally allowed the Grand Duke of Puz to gain a firm foothold in the south.

After that, the Principality of Puth and the Principality of Priad secretly carried out many immigration plans, turning all the citizens of the Principality of Priv into the Principality of Dyad, and some civil affairs began to look up to the Principality of Dyad, until a few generations later, when there was turmoil within the Kingdom of Maris again, and there was no way to punish the Principality of Priv, the then Grand Duke of Priv issued a statement on the joint Dyriat, merging the Principality into the Kingdom of Dyad.

The day after the announcement was issued, the fleet and army of Dalyat entered the Duchy of Pus, which was considered to have completely swallowed this southern enclave into the kingdom's territory.

Although there were many times after that, the Kingdom of Maris tried to regain this land, but in the end, because the Kingdom of Dariat stationed troops in the north, and the old enemy Kingdom of Savile made trouble in the east, the Kingdom of Maris had to give up some military operations against the Duchy of Puth, and over time this southern enclave became part of the territory of Dalyat, which became an internationally recognized fact.

Most of the land in the Principality of Puz is saline-alkali land, except for a few marine plants that can grow, other crops such as grain are not suitable for cultivation here, for a long time, the people of the Principality of Puz are dependent on fishing for marine fish for a living, as for other vegetables and grains are mostly transported from Dalyat.

It was not until the beginning of the era of sea navigation that Simps built a large deep-water port due to environmental reasons, which helped the naval power of Dalyat to develop into the southern seas, and the Duchy of Puz gradually transformed from a backward fishing principality to a well-known maritime trade principality in the whole of Veron.

The Grand Duke of Pus also transferred his administrative office from the inland city of Pus to the port of Simps, and under the careful management of successive Grand Dukes of Pus, Simps has become the most important foreign port on the Sigma continent, and its status is almost equivalent to the port of Venaya on the continent of Vilon.

The Ice Queen sent two escort boats back to Simps, and because of its changed appearance, it was not conspicuous among the many merchant ships that sailed to and from Simps.

When the Ice Queen entered Sheltered Bay, the secret dock staff who had been waiting here for a long time drove a tugboat to meet her, bringing the Ice Queen into the Queen's private secret dock.

As soon as the ship entered the dock, a team of staff picked up the passengers on board, apparently arranging forged records for these passengers, and it was also supposed to make some agreement with these people so as not to sabotage some of the plans of Queen Dalyad.

Leo and Old Belen were not among them, and after the ship docked, Leo left the Ice Queen, and the old captain did not stop him, while Old Belen stayed, and it seemed that he had other things to do.

The urban layout of Simpsport is almost the same as that of all port cities, divided into dock areas, commercial areas, residential areas, administrative areas and so on, because of environmental problems, there are not too many flowers and plants here, but because the city is next to the quarry, coupled with the unique architectural style of the Minsk mainland, the whole Simps is more like a city built of boulders.

From the streets of the city to the surrounding buildings, all of them are tall boulder buildings, which make the whole city appear more cold and majestic, and it is also a lot less vibrant.

As soon as Leo left the Ice Queen, he called a carriage and headed to the docks, and although he still had plenty of time, he had no intention of staying in the city for long, and prepared to go directly to the port of Pander to meet Sylvia.

"What? there are no ships going north?" Leo was stunned when he heard the not-so-good news, and asked the conductor of the dockyard company, "What is the reason?"

"What other reason could there be!" the man pointed through the ticket window to the group of porters gathered in the hall, and said impatiently, "Those are refugees, and if you don't want to buy newspapers, ask them." ”

Leo watched as the grim-faced dock porters walked out of the ticket hall of the dockyard company, and outside the hall he stopped a newsboy, bought a copy of all the newspapers he had, and then stopped a carriage and let him go to the quietest and best hotel in the city.

After getting into the carriage, Leo opened the newspaper he had just bought one by one and quickly flipped through it in the bumpy carriage.

The contents of these newspapers are similar in that they are all chronicling the civil war in the northern kingdom of Mares, and a large number of pseudo-military experts publish various articles in these newspapers to analyze where this war will go and what impact it will have on the entire Minsk continent.

Although they published a lot of articles, they all began with a frank admission of their predictions for the defense of gas, and believed that if the Kingdom of Mares could not clear the army and the government of the revolutionary army, then there would definitely be another miraculous result of the gas defense.

From these newspapers, Leo also knew in detail what was going on in the battle that affected the entire Mares Kingdom.

Gas is an industrial city in the interior of the Kingdom of Mares, which is also known as Rivet City because of its production of rivets tried on ships. Among the many industrial cities of the Maris Kingdom, this city is inconspicuous, but this time it has become the center of attention of the entire Maris Kingdom, as well as the Minsk continent and the world of Veron.

In the aftermath of the perceived uprising, the Maris government handled it so badly that the rioters were able to grow and resist the government.

It's just that the leaders of those workers' organizations are not stupid and arrogant people, they are all very sober, and they know that the advantage they have now is only because they have taken the Maris Kingdom government by surprise, and once the Maris Kingdom recovers, then with the strength of the royal government army, it will definitely be easy to solve the various workers' organizations that now seem to be strong.

For this reason, the leaders of the various workers' organizations contacted each other and finally decided to unite to form a unified workers' organization, so they decided to use the city of gas as a meeting place, and the leaders of the various organizations gathered to discuss with each other.

Because the goal of all was clear, and the meeting went very smoothly for unknown reasons, the rioting workers formed the Equal Revolutionary Army, and formed the Provisional Government and Military Command Post of the Revolutionary Army, and began to take a crucial step towards regularization.

However, as their meeting drew to a close, and the participants began to prepare to return to the various workers' organizations and form the revolutionary army branches, the army of the Kingdom of Maris suddenly appeared outside the city, which was located in the hinterland of the various workers' organizations, and surrounded the whole city, preparing to storm the city, and it seemed that they were not ready to spare anyone in the city.

Faced with this situation, the upper echelons of the revolutionary army, which had been formed, could only mobilize all the workers and citizens in the city to resist the attack of the Kingdom of Mares.

During the mobilization, although the workers enthusiastically responded to the call, other citizens believed that the revolutionary army had brought the scourge of war to the city, so it was difficult to actively respond to the call of the revolutionary army even if they knew that the Kingdom of Maris might do something like a massacre.

Because of internal instability, the revolutionary army lost all the fortifications in the outer suburbs in the first defensive battle, and had to build obstacles in the city for defensive warfare.

At that time, the results of the first gas defense battle were deliberately publicized by the government of the Kingdom of Mares, just to let people know that the turmoil affecting the kingdom's rule was not a big problem, and the situation was still in the hands of the kingdom.

At that time, everyone who saw the relevant news believed that the royal government army had mastered the situation, and at most it would take a single attack to completely eliminate the leaders of these workers' organizations, and without these charismatic leaders, those workers' organizations would collapse in an instant.

But then something unexpected happened, the 3rd and 7th Army Corps, which were the main forces of the Royal Government Army, suddenly revolted, put all the officers of the remaining Army Corps under house arrest, killed the Royal Government's commissioners in the army, controlled several regiments that surrounded the entire city of Vas, and surrendered to the revolutionary army.

In this way, a sneak attack that was supposed to quell a workers' revolt led to a great increase in the military power of the revolutionary army, and the revolutionary army controlled more than half of the heavy industrial cities of the Mares kingdom and mastered the ability to make its own weapons, which made the situation of the entire Maris kingdom completely different.

The government of the Kingdom of Maris also realized that they were now at a disadvantage, so in order to be able to fight the revolutionary army as much as possible, they immediately ordered the navy that was still in their hands to block all the sea areas under the control of the Kingdom of Mares, and no ships were allowed to sail, cutting off the continuous food supply of the revolutionary army, which was considered a reversal, and this order also led to the main routes to the south and north being cut off, and a few ships could only take the eastern route of the Kingdom of Savile and go north by a long way.

For Leo, of course, it is impossible to take the eastern route, in that case, even if he goes north, he will have to cross the entire Sigma continent to reach the port of Pandel in the west, not to mention whether he can cross the desert of the Savile Kingdom, even if he can not have time.
