It had been more than a month since Diana's end had been returned with eighteen captured ships, and the only fleet, which had been the only fleet due to lack of funds, had suddenly become a new fleet of two full men, with three more reserve warships and two supply ships, and that warship, which was larger than the original Flying Whale, had become a flagship that was no less than the royal warships of the Island Alliance.

For this reason, the lord of the city, Count Platt, after rewarding him with gold and silver, also submitted a relevant report to the kingdom and applied for a reward. Although the contents of the report do not need to be guessed, and he will most likely give most of the credit to his own name, it doesn't matter, because the subsequent return of his old friend Humphreys brings even more shocking news.

Just thinking that he had been made an earl by that little boy, and that in a month or so, the official documents of the kingdom would arrive, the high-spirited Valais always felt a little unreal, but he understood that it was just an illusion that things were too good. Because the situation in the royal capital investigated by the mercenary guild has been reported, all the qiē is true, and Lu Chen's status as the grand duke is also open in the royal capital, and the only question is how they managed to get from the royal capital to Brian in just a few days.

However, due to the strength of the brand-new Flying Whale and the people they had seen with his own eyes, Valais didn't bother too much about this problem, adjusted his mood and continued to do his part. Of course, now it is for Lu Chen, the new lord, and this naturally includes assisting Humphrey and Max in building a fleet, and at the same time, this time he once again learned the strength of this little archduke in terms of money.

Humphreystone's Guò trade route, the forty large warships that had been purchased separately from the Island Alliance had all arrived ten days earlier. And under a heavy bounty. Work started overnight disguised as an armed merchant ship. Then, at noon four days earlier, he had taken the first batch of worthless goods, but could expand the trade routes, and set sail with Mark.

Calculating the time, I will be back in about a day, looking at the ten large warships that they have given themselves in the name of donation in the harbor. Valais was convinced by Lu Chen, the Grand Duke who didn't know why he wanted to hide his identity, in his heart, even if the information investigated by the Mercenary Guild was fake, it didn't matter, but at this moment, he was on a routine patrol at the port, and suddenly a lot of small dots appeared on the horizon.

"So fast, they've been harassed by pirates all winter, and it's normal for their daily necessities to run out of stock, hehe, it seems that they are all meritorious. There were some doubts about them, but Valais was still happy for everyone in his heart, after all, a fleet of thirty ships was not something that ordinary people or pirates could have. But with those little dots approaching. His face began to change, and then. As the fishing boat near the harbor hurried back, he heard the lookout post on the lighthouse sound the alarm bell.

Pirates attacking cities are not uncommon, but they are basically limited to villages and towns, because in addition to transport ships, the number of people that ordinary warships can carry is only about four hundred at most, and counting the losses of attacking ports, most of the pirates only choose to close the port in frontal battles, forcing the port to meet their conditions, and it is rare for a large fleet to patronize a certain port, especially a medium-sized city like Brion.

Then, when Valles was bewildered by a large group of approaching dots, the sentries on the lighthouse brought even worse news: the number of ships attacking the fleet was more than a hundred, and the flags of the Island Alliance were fluttering on the masts.

Valles, who had just established three fleets and was planning to establish a fixed cruising route to make Brion more prosperous, felt like his heart had been smashed with a hammer, and he was stunned on the spot without saying anything. Although I heard Lu Chen say that the bastards of the Island Alliance might make such an unwise move, I didn't expect them to move so quickly, and more importantly, their actions also represented that the war between Finai Xiu and Justin had officially broken out.

It took a minute for Valles to give the order for the three fleets to take refuge in the Diana River and bring the whole city into a state of battle, and sent people to the nearby towns to call for help and carry the news of the invasion of the Island Alliance, and also raised the beacon of war at the lighthouse to warn the merchant fleet and the First Fleet belonging to Andrés who might return at any time.

In the blue water with no edge in sight, thirty large ships carrying deep-sea specialties are speeding towards the largest island in the north of the Island Group Alliance. It was an impromptu stop before they returned, but it was not for trade, because they saw a large number of refugees as they were about to sell the last shipments, but while everyone was secretly celebrating Craig's success, a very close trading partner quietly revealed to Humphreys that he would not return to Brian for the time being.

Humphreys and Mark were of course particularly concerned about this, and after knocking on their old partners and sending people to inquire in many ways, they finally came to the conclusion that the island alliance had reached some kind of agreement with the eldest prince Angus and was ready to attack Brion.

"Mark, do you think we're going to win this time?" Humphreys asked worriedly, standing on the bow of the ship with the still cold sea breeze blowing and looking at the blue in the distance. In the same way, he knew that the actions of the Island Alliance were a sign that the war between the Kingdom and the Empire had begun.

"I don't know...... The Northern Empire, the Alliance of Island Groups, the Great Prince who has lost power, and the unstable domestic situation, this may be the most difficult for us. But our Grand Duke is an incalculable man, and I am now less concerned about the war than in the Cursed Lands, and although it is his fiefdom, there seems to be something else important for him to prioritize. Feeling the warmth of the sun, knowing that the steward next to him was asking about the kingdom, Mark said with some anticipation. After all, it was a good opportunity for him to revitalize the family.

“...... That's right, even the Andrés Mountains have been conquered by him, maybe this time it's still an opportunity to expand, hehe~" Thinking of Lu Chen's strength and the temporary purpose of this trip, Humphreys was also a lot more relieved. As for anything more important than war, he didn't care, and in his opinion, the soon-to-be-formed Wolf Cavalry Regiment, the New Flying Whale, and the tamed and powerful Demonic Beast alone were worth the strength of a dozen legions.

Then, in the telescope that Lu Chen gave him that did not require magic power, the two saw the island that was captured by Craig and they didn't know what they were going to use it for. It's just that when they were all thinking about taking a look at the task assigned by the powerful colleague on the island, the lookout post on the mainmast came with a signal of "the current island group alliance fleet".
