"It's a dead deal...... Dead ......"

Li Ang muttered, hurriedly getting dressed.

"What's dead?"

Alina straightened her shoulder straps, got out of bed and shook her skirt, tuddled her messy hair, and tied a knot at the back of her head—it was all about dressing up.

This girl has always been more neat and never wastes time in front of the mirror...... Of course, probably the main reason is that she doesn't know how to wear makeup at all.

"What do you think? If this spreads, will your reputation be ruined?! ”

Leon glared at Alina while tugging at his clothes with one hand, but then he turned his head frustrated and glanced at the door, and asked Alina in a low voice, "Knight Captain Loris shouldn't be a person who can talk around, right?" ”

"My reputation has never been good...... I don't care. ”

Alina looked at Li Ang's nervous appearance and suddenly smiled: "So you are worried about me?" ”

Indeed, Alina had a bad reputation before - she had always used the 'Prophecy Child' to reject all men's pursuits, and since more than two years ago, there have been rumors in Bacchus that Alina likes women.

At that time, there would be this rumor, mainly because Alina killed many nobles in Siyuan City, plus her father Justes also killed many nobles in Bozhi City, and it was normal to be deliberately smeared by the nobles.

But now, Alina is twenty-two years old - this age is not engaged, so in the eyes of most people it is really abnormal, after all, the average age of marriage for women in this era is less than eighteen.

Right now, most of the Bacchus believe the rumors, and think that Alina probably does like women—and presumably elf girls, because she is often with Wendy.

Only the Knight Captain of Loris knew that Alina really intended to marry the Child of Prophecy......

"Ahem! Aha! Lord Justes! When did you come to Dilingang?! ”

Outside the door, Loris suddenly let out a high-pitched voice.

Leon and Alina petrified at the same time......

Obviously, this knight chief is actually very 'sensible', but at this time, it is estimated that it is a little too late to ventilate the news - there is only one door in this bedroom......

The smile on Alina's face turned into a wry smile: "My father must have met Ahlers, so he came here so quickly......"

"Hurry up, help me put my clothes on!"

Leon was still wearing only his pajamas, shaking his heraldic pullover with one hand in his right hand......

His left hand was tied around his neck with a bandage, and to avoid tearing the wound under his armpit, the efficiency of dressing was of course quite low, and it was almost impossible to put on the jumper without help—there were attendants to help him when he undressed last night.

Alina grabbed the jumper and slipped it on for Leon.

"Loris, is His Majesty Leon inside?"

This is the voice of Justes.

"In ...... Oh no...... This ......"

Knight Captain Loris is clearly a decent man who doesn't know much about lying.

Then the door was pushed open again—and then immediately slammed shut......

"Ahem...... Nice weather today......"

It was Justes' voice, and it was a little embarrassing to hear.

"yes...... The wind is cool, and the waves are only three meters high......"

Knight Captain Lorris looked at the sea in the distance, then at the gray sky, and then at Justes' hair being blown dishevelled by the wind.

The time Justs pushed the door and saw that his daughter was helping Leon get dressed, and her movements were very intimate, somewhat gentle and graceful......

Justs is actually in a very mixed mood right now......

It seems that my daughter has a crush?

This is certainly a good thing, at least the things that have plagued him for several years can be resolved......

But the problem is that the person my daughter likes is a married man - and this guy has two women!

That's a problem......

The identity of his daughter is different...... Not only is there a father who is a governor, but also a father-in-law who is an emperor!

How can such an identity be ......

Leon, bastard! The decree he issued allowing three wives to marry must have been premeditated, right?!

Justes gritted his teeth as he thought, his originally polite appearance looked a little hideous at this time.

When Leon went out, he saw Justes' somewhat distorted face and the 'concerned' eyes of Knight Captain Lloris.

"Ahem...... Nice weather today......"

Leon nodded at Loris and said the same opening words in the same tone as Justes.

Loris sighed: "It's been a strong wind for two hours, Your Majesty Leon...... The storm is coming. ”

"yes...... Storm ......"

Leon looked at Justes's face cautiously: "Lord Justus, have you seen Ahlers?" ”

"Leon, I need to talk to you about ......"

As soon as Justes pulled Leon up, he left, his movements rough and his tone arrogant.

Alina hurried out the door, but only had time to see the backs of her father and Leon, who looked back from time to time, his eyes were flustered, like a little rascal who had just been caught cheating on someone's daughter.

……

While Leon and Justes were discussing life, His Majesty Caspers, who had returned to Thrindil, encountered the first painful defeat in his life.

Caspars was lucky, his fleet docked in the shoals of Thrindir just before the storm came—the same place where Leon had dealt with the Dreadcorps python knights.

To escape the storm, he parked the fleet off the beach of Serindil.

Although it is easy to run aground due to low tide when parked in the shallows, at least it can avoid the huge waves on the surface of the sea and avoid being destroyed.

Caspars and his lieutenant Leo had only intended to stay in Serindil for a while, then find the 2,000 troops that had been sent out, and return to Marittin with them.

They no longer intend to continue his 'conquest' on the Pander Continent, after all, looking at the number of 'troops' in Dilingang, this great ideal is indeed unrealizable - without a foothold and outpost like Dilingang, it is obviously impossible to stand firm on a lone army.

After coming ashore in Serindil, Caspars led a large army into the village to take shelter from the storm.

Although there were few intact houses in the village, camping on the ruins of the wall could still keep out the wind, and it was much safer than staying on a boat.

Not long after they set up camp, a small group of troops dressed in Maritinin uniforms appeared nearby, about two or three hundred people.

By this time, it was already raining and rainy, and visibility was very low, and the small army looked completely drenched.

Caspars sounded the rallying call, intending to have the small force converge at the camp in the village.

But then, the unexpected happened.

The force was indeed 'homecoming,' but instead of coming to the camp of Caspars's large force, they headed straight for the battleships in the shallows.

In fact, Caspars also understood this situation, it was gloomy at that time, and naturally there was no flag erected in the wind and rain, and Caspass's camp was in the ruins of the village, which was not easy to find.

It is quite possible that the small force did not find its camp in the first place, but instead saw the more obvious warship near the coast, the Marittin brig dhow, with a rather high mast and no shelter from the sea, which was indeed more conspicuous.

It is also normal to go to the location of the battleship as soon as you hear the assembly number.

In Caspars's opinion, there was no problem for the small force to go to the battleship, he actually left more than 100 people on the flagship, and the adjutant Leo also stayed on the flagship - these battleships were the necessary vehicles for the large force to go home, and they must be guarded.

In the face of the storm, those who dare to stay on board to protect the battleship are the real brave.

But then, the roars and screams of these brave men were completely drowned in the wind and rain......

That army of two or three hundred men was, of course, the Silver Hand led by Klose.

At the beginning, the Silver Hand was also fighting against the Monty Python Knight in such a storm, and they didn't care about this wind and rain.

At the very place where the Silver Hand was established, Klose, under the nose of the enemy's large army, rushed the enemy warship with great dignity, killed all the Maritins who remained on the ship, and then ...... Ran all the warships aground, just like the broken ships of the Dreadlegion.

The warships did not run aground, but anchored normally, just to avoid the storm and stop outside the shoals - mainly to avoid damage to the reef during the storm.

But it only took half an hour for the Silver Hand to turn the dozens of large ships on their sides and sink to the bottom—all of them were scuttled underneath.

Later, Klose calmly left from under the noses of the enemy's large army with a silver hand - the Metenheim, accustomed to fighting on the coast, knew that no one would pursue them in the wind and rain, the sight was very poor in the storm, and there were no clues such as footprints, and these Maritinians were not familiar with the surrounding environment and could not catch up with them.

In fact, Caspars didn't realize that these people were here to carry out a sneak attack.

Or rather, he never thought that someone would come and scuttle his ship in the middle of a storm......

It wasn't until all the warships were turned on their sides, no longer floating up and down, but skewed down in the shallows, that Caspars realized that something had happened – he probably couldn't go back......

Adjutant Leo was killed in battle.

The hundred or so brave soldiers who guarded the flagship were also killed.

As for how much the Silver Hand paid - the Silver Hand was also wearing Maritin's armor, and they all fell into the water, so it was impossible to tell who was who......

Caspars cried out in pain, then tried to sleep again......

Alina and Ales deceived him, Kavala abandoned him, his right-hand man Adjutant Leo left him forever, and the 'war' on the Pander continent was completely different from what he imagined......

Without Kavala's help, he was no longer a victorious player, and he didn't know what to do now, and his mind was in a mess.

People who are accustomed to lying down to win, of course, can't withstand the wind and waves.

During the hours that Caspars slept, the soldiers in Marittin became terrified – they all realized that they might not be able to return home.

The respected adjutant, General Leo, was killed in battle, hundreds of brothers were killed, 2,000 brothers were missing, and all the ships sank on the beach.

At present, there is no way out before and after the wind and rain, and the army is trapped alone in this strange continent......

It was a time when morale was low and the morale of the army was unstable, but their majesty was sleeping regardless of it?!

Originally, it only took a few words to soothe - such as 'Rest well to recuperate enough energy to avenge General Leo'......

But the adjutant Leo was killed in battle, and there was no one left to appease and motivate the soldiers for Caspass.

Thus, for the first time, deserters appeared in Caspass's troops.

It takes a long time to get the support of your subordinates, but it only takes a few days to get your subordinates to give up.

At dusk, the wind and rain subsided, and the sunset began to rise.

Kaspars woke up from his sleep, but Kavala still did not appear in his dream, and his men scattered and began to find their own way out.

At this time, Kaspas was no longer at a loss, and he finally made up his mind to make a name for himself by himself.

But he finally regained his spirits, and immediately after gathering his troops, he collapsed again - there were only about 800 people left around him.

Moreover, he again saw a force of two or three hundred people appear nearby.

And this time, that unit did not wear the equipment of the Maritines.

Dressed in heavy armor and wielding swords that shimmered in the setting sun, their glittering gauntlets and gloves glittering in the setting sun, their entire army was made of silver.

"Silver Hand, Assault!"

"Hah!!"

Caspars heard a gruff voice, and a neat battle cry.

……

Three days later.

Klose returned to the Imperial Harbor with the Silver Hand.

At the same time, the port of Dilingang also ushered in the first support army, which Wendy urgently recruited from Marasburg, and the number was small, only about 500 people.

Their arrival was enough to ensure the safety of the Imperial Harbor.

Because Wendy and Klose brought back a captive - His Majesty Caspars of Maritin.

Wendy did not go to Siyuan City, because after she left the port of Dilin with Aleth, she met the governor of Justus as soon as she arrived in Marasburg.

Justes originally came to attend the funeral of Emperor Marius and didn't bring many people, but since he met him, Wendy naturally didn't need to go to Siyuan City to move the rescue soldiers.

So Wendy rushed back with the garrison of Marasburg.

After sinking Maritin's warship, the Silver Hand encountered Wendy's rescuers on the way back, so Klose attacked Caspers with his team of less than 300 men, and threw Caspass's demoralized and underorganized team into chaos, giving Wendy a chance to capture Caspass.

In fact, the large army of the Maritinians did not suffer too many losses, and there were probably close to 4,000 Maritins scattered around......

Sigismund seduced a thousand men to the Wolwen area, and it was estimated that it would not be long before they would run into the army of the Noldor led by Risadiran;

The other 1,000 people were probably still wandering around the village of Rudy, a wetland meadow in Bacchus, a hilly wetland where pigs were raised, and it was easy to get lost......

These two teams were sent out to pursue Leon after Caspars was fooled, and they have not returned.

Nearly 2,000 men were scattered around Serindil, some deserters themselves, others scattered.

But these stragglers are no longer able to pose any threat.

Neither Leon nor Alina embarrassed Caspers, nor did Justus, and they even sent men to help Caspars repair some of the warships that had capsized on Serindil Beach, and helped Caspars recall some of his troops.

However, Leon forced Caspars to write a letter of allegiance to Alina......
