Two days later, as soon as Hurricane and Gurando had finished their meal from the small town and were about to continue their journey northeast, they were about to leave the city when they saw several sheriffs posting a bounty on a notice board, which attracted many onlookers.

Originally, this kind of bounty notice was not unusual, if someone committed a crime in the city, the public security office would often post some bounty orders in order to catch the culprit quickly. However, after this notice was posted, it quickly attracted some onlookers and discussions. As a result, the people who were about to leave the city became curious, and they all gathered around to watch, and the number of onlookers increased.

Riding on a rented high-headed horse, Gurando kicked the pedals of the wind with his foot, raised his chin and said, "It's very lively, go over and have a look." ”

The two jumped off their horses and led their mounts towards the billboard, squeezing into the crowd, and were stunned when they saw the picture on the bounty on the billboard. Gurundo exclaimed: "Isn't this the ......" He quickly stopped his voice and went to see the contents of the bounty order, and after reading it, he squeezed out of the crowd with the wind and whispered: "It turns out that the woman is the royal princess of Edria! ”

Tempest frowned in thought, they had been on their way for the past few days, and they had heard a lot about what had happened in Adria, and the country they were in now was also uneasy because of this.

Gurendo deeply regretted: "She is the princess of Edria, and her family is not ...... Alas~!" Gurando sighed: "It's really pitiful, I have encountered such a thing." It's miserable. But those pirates are really powerful, not to mention killing the royal family of Adriath, and sending bounties to neighboring countries, how did they do it? Hey Blast, isn't it a bit ...... for us to leave her in the hospital?" he only said half a sentence, but his worry was beyond words.

For the past two days, the wind has been uneasy about leaving Hefimi behind, and his heart feels like a thorn in his head. This time, when I saw the notice of the bounty order, my uneasy heart suddenly rose again. He raised his eyebrows and used his spatial magic to take out the wedding gift for his sister Jean and stuff it into Gurondo's hand. He rolled over and jumped on the horse.

Gurando held the gift box and said, "Hey." What are you doing? You're not going back to her, are you? It's not long before Jean's wedding. ”

The wind took the reins of the horse and said, "Bring the gift back, and I will do my best to rush back." With that, he grabbed the horse's belly between his legs and ran to the city gate.

"Hey, hey......" Gurando also quickly jumped on his horse. After him, he said, "She's your only sister." Are you really going to miss her wedding? or I'll go back to her for you." ”

Tempest turned back and said, "I'm afraid it's dangerous." You can't go. In case I can't go back in time for Qin's wedding, I'll give her the gift for me and I'm sorry to tell her big brother for me. He rode out of town. The direction in which he turned around was running away.

"Alas~!" Gu Langduo glanced at the gift box in his hand and looked up at the direction where the wind was gone: "I hope you can come back before the wedding, without your blessing, Qin will be very sad." After saying that, Lema went away.

......

On the banks of the tides, the rain is pouring down, and a coastal city built to defend against pirates, with its strong walls facing the approaching pirate ships in the sea.

The general defending the city, wearing battle armor, raised his sword in his hand and personally stood on the city wall to direct the upcoming battle: "Everyone take their seats, wait for the pirates to enter the firing range, and listen to my orders to open fire." ”

It was a fortified city, and the generals who defended it were confident that they would not be breached by pirate fire until the pirates retreated. At this time, an adjutant general came running from one end of the city wall quickly, and he reported to the defender in a panic: "General, a large number of enemies have appeared in the east of the city, waving the banner of pirates, and are coming this way. ”

"What!?" the guard was shocked: "How could a pirate come from the land, and how could they be copied behind us?" This seaside fortress is located at the upper mouth of the bay, with the sea to the west and south, and the land to the east and north.

As soon as the defender's voice was settled, he saw another officer rushing towards him, and shouted in a panic: "Oh no, general, no, the pirates from the land are going to attack!"

The defender asked, "How many people have come from the land, how dare they attack?"

The officer said: "There are about a few thousand people, but ......."

"But what? The guard was anxious and asked angrily.

The officer said, "But there are more Kingdom troops in front of those pirates, more than 10,000 in number!"

The guard was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and asked again: "You said the kingdom army?"

"Yes, it is the army of our kingdom. The officer said with great certainty.

The guard was greatly disgraced, and everyone was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Who can tell me what is going on? How can the army of the kingdom be with the pirates?" He barely calmed down, in order to deal with the pirate attack, all the troops were concentrated in the west and south, and the defense in the east and north was extremely empty, if the pirates attacked the city by land, the coastal fortress would definitely not be protected, and immediately ordered his subordinates to rearrange the troops, and said to the officers of the guards around him: " You go to Tongyi and contact the Governor and ask him what is going on, how there are pirates coming from land, and why there are still Kingdom Army. ”

"Yes. The guard officer bowed his head slightly in response, and his eyes handed over to the adjutant general who came to report the news, and a strange color flashed in the eyes of the two at the same time.

Several heralds around him immediately went to inform the teams to transfer troops, and the guards officers also turned around the back of the guards and prepared to leave, at this time, the adjutant general who came to report the news suddenly attacked the killer, a short sword quickly popped out of his sleeve, and he grabbed the sword and stabbed it into the gap in the armor of the guard's abdomen.

"What are you doing?!"

The adjutant general leaned against the short sword and said, "There is no need to look for the governor, because he has been assassinated and killed." ”

In a fit of rage, the guard raised his broad palm to open the person in front of him, but suddenly a sharp knife pierced his heart from behind, leaving him stunned. When he turned around, he saw that the officer of the personal guard who was close to him was holding the hilt of the sword, and the blood flowed down the blade on the metal armor of the personal guard.

"You ......!!!" the guard pointed to his personal guard, his eyes bulging and widening in disbelief.

The personal guard officer looked at him coldly and said, "I have already persuaded you, but you refuse to listen, you forced me." ”

“...... You...... You betrayed me......"

"It's that you are too ignorant of current affairs. The officer of the guard drew his sword, blood spurted out, and then the sword flashed, and the head of the guard had been cut off by the lieutenant general who reported the news.

The surrounding soldiers were frightened and stood in a daze, not daring to move.

The adjutant general held the head of the guard in the air and shouted, "The general is dead, and now the pirates have surrounded this place." Those who want to live lay down their arms and surrender to the pirates, and if they want to die, I will let him die now!"

On the city wall, the officers who were closer to the adjutant had already laid down their weapons, and then the officers of the officer's subordinates also threw down their weapons, and then his officers also abandoned their weapons, and the commander threw and the soldiers also surrendered.

This kind of thing happened everywhere in the neighboring countries to the north of Adria, and it spread, and corruption and rebellion, under the strength of the 'pirates', the state power, which had been intimidated by the bandits of the Western Sea, and corrupted by the corrupt policies of the pirates, had long been vulnerable.

The same thing was found in the southern neighbor of Adria, which is a relatively incorruptible country, and the monarch of this country is very wise, but even this cannot stop the invasion of 'pirates'. Honest and unyielding officials were assassinated one by one, and corrupt people were taken in one by one. Berwick the Armorer led an army from Adriath into the country, while the ships along the coast were plundered by 'pirates', killing all those who resisted and becoming the vanguard of the next offensive. Under Fried's command, his troops soon snowballed.

"Do these pirates have anything to do with the creation of kingship?" Ina Nica gazed at the qiē, already taking in the whole scene.
