Vol 5 Chapter 133

After passing through the storm, the temperament of the sublime inland sea became extremely mild. One week later, exactly at noon on the eighth day, in the voice of the clerk, a black line appeared on the horizon of the sea and sky. It is the mountains of Metz. The seafarers re-measured the position of the fleet and confirmed that it was in the waters near Fattan. In fact, the red empire patrol ship could be seen at sea level.

This empire patrol ship came from the nearby port of Fattan. The sailors on the ship saw the huge fleet pierced from the clouds in the afternoon sunlight, and were frightened. After a busy mess, they fired a gun and asked Who is coming?

"They usually approached with wind-based inquiries, and sometimes with semaphores. They should now be at the port of warning." Efram stood beside the bow of the ship and explained in a snoring voice.

Brando nodded and responded lightly, "Tell them who we are."

...

"Did you see clearly, what did they say?" The captain of the Imperial Patrol Ship, Hellman, turned back and asked his deputy. The drunk old man had been half awoken by the wine. He dropped the bottle and took the brass telescope. , Staggeringly looked at the strange fleet opposite.

"They said ... they're a Bugat fleet." The chief officer replied tremblingly.

"What, Bugatians! What are they doing here! Are you kidding me?"

"Sir, I will never make a mistake unless they mistype the slogan."

"What do you think?" Heilman stroked his beard and chin. "This is the Bugatian fleet?"

The chief officer stared at the sea of ​​silvery scales on the clouds, with a complex look, but nodded honestly-it was the unique fleet in the world, the fleet of the silver city-state.

...

The nominal owner of Fatham Harbour, Lord Baron Ludwig Metz, looked a little restless in his office today. Just a quarter of an hour later, his men sent out finally tremblingly to understand the sudden appearance in his house. Origin of the Fleet at the Door: It's really a Bugatti Fleet, and I heard that they also encountered the Air Force of the Georgian People south of Port Ruen. After a fight, it seems that these Bugatians can be regarded as allies of the Empire, but the wizards rarely intervene in the wars of the world. They even watched the last holy war, and Baron Metz did not understand why the other party would Suddenly changed sex, but the other party at least brought news south of the Evergreen Walkway, and those noble refugees. This cannot be done. His deputy is said to have seen Count Alcons and several other top figures among the refugees. With these people testifying, Baron Metz did not think the other party would be cheating.

But seeing the huge fleet moored into the port, Baron Ludwig Metz was inevitably worried, but he was not worried about it. It is how long these wizards will stay here. To know that the logistics of supplying such a large fleet is not a simple matter. Even if the other party can be self-sufficient, so many warships will flood the port at once. Impact on the port, not to mention anything else. The berth alone is less than half of what it is, these are all money.

On the other hand, as the Lord of a city, Baron Metz is also regarded as respected in the empire, but the other party is a silver citizen after all, and he has surpassed the mortal in the world. The empire has always claimed to be the center of civilization. But this center is usually limited to the area under the Temple of Fire. Even Faenza and St. Osor may not be selling it, let alone elsewhere. Nowadays, most people respect civilization and order, and it is well known that most of the civilizations of this era are inherited from the previous era. Many of them have been lost in the flames of war, not to mention those valuable treasures stored in the Barbel Tower before the Twilight War. Ancient literature, in this respect, the people of silver have innate advantages over the civilization of black iron, not to mention the artisan wizards who have professed themselves as custodians of knowledge. Therefore, in the eyes of the people of this era, the proud and isolated Buga people are simply synonymous with glory and civilization, and they should be born high above all, in the mortal nobility. It is even more admired for the culture of the silver city-state, especially within the boundaries of the major empires, almost to a sickly arty degree.

Although Baron Ludwig Metz is practical and not a **** Bugatti, as a member of the high-level aristocracy circle, it will inevitably be affected. When I think about it, I really want to be with those in the cloud. The gentlemen and craftsmen in white robes dealt with each other, and for a time, there was also some Ye Gonghaolong anxiety.

If Brando knew an excuse he had just made up, he would let a long-time imperial nobleman develop such a mentality, and he did not know if he would laugh at big teeth. But at least he is determined not to believe in any gentle artisan sorcerers. As a player, he had spent a considerable amount of time in the silver city-state. There are generally two types of wizards he sees-either very pragmatic Or it's almost like a madman of science, and the former mostly comes from the Silver Council, and the latter mostly comes from the Silver Society.

At this moment, the Lord Baron was thinking about what attitude he would use to meet these noble guests, and the sound of shivering footsteps was already sounding in the corridor outside. He raised his head, and the office door suddenly squeaked open. This change caused Baron Ludwig Metz to frown slightly, thinking that these Yankees really did not know how to be polite, and even pushed straight through the door without waiting for the pass. He never thought that it would be Bugat People, when he wants to come to the silver people, he should be much more civilized than the inhabitants on the ground, and he will definitely not do such rude things.

As soon as the door was opened, Baron Ludwig Metz did not see the Buga wizard in silver robes, but what made his eyes widened was that he saw a group of armoured men, blue jerseys, and The halberd soldiers rushed in, and of course these soldiers would not be his subordinates, because he had watched the soldiers come straight to him, pointing the spear at him left and right.

"You guys ..."

Baron Ludwig Metz froze for a while before finally finding out the origin of the military uniform from the deepest part of his mind. After several changes in his face, he finally blurted out:

"Eruin?"

...

It was the Eruin.

It is a pity that Baron Ludwig Metz was a little late to wake up. In fact, this is exactly what Brando hoped to achieve. He used the Bugatian fleet as a cover and hoped to relax the port of Fattan. Fortunately, the fleet itself was built by the Bugatti, and the warship itself also used the wizard's usual style, plus the testimony of Count Alcons and others on board. Cruzians have a difficult time trying to generate suspicion.

The development of the incident was as expected, and the fleet entered the port smoothly without any obstruction. When the warships approached the harbor, the soldiers on the warships swarmed down to disarm the weapons in the hands of the Cruzs Port Guard, and those guys couldn't believe how the high Bugatti wizard suddenly turned his hands on them, after all they watched Come. The people of silver did not care about what happened in the world at all. Secular power seemed to them to pass by. The tradition of thousands of years almost formed an inertia, and this inertia allowed Brando to build a sky. Big cheap.

He commanded Shire, Oni, Marjorie, Iffram and others to take over the entire port, and then personally led a team of people to kill the castle where Baron Ludwig Metz was located, along the way There was no resistance at all. Even the castle guards personally opened the door for them, and when they were confiscated by the real sword, they asked the Eruin people what they wanted to do.

But when these people finally realized that they were not facing the Bugatians but the Eruins, they all showed similar looks to Ludwig Metz himself. The first was shock and disbelief. , And then still shocked and unbelievable.

For these people. Brando had no time to answer their doubts, and he swung all his hands into the dungeon below the castle. In this way, with almost no trouble, he and his fleet took over the port.

Of course, this is only temporary. After all, he is just an outsider who wants to rule such a huge city. A little Eruin close to his hand is absolutely not enough, because he can only wipe out upper-level officials at most. As for those lower-level officials, he has neither the time nor the ability to capture them all, let alone With this ability, he put all these people into the dungeon. Who will run the city for him?

It takes more than a little labor to get a huge port up and running.

Fortunately, he was not only the Eruin, but also a considerable number of Cruz nobles. These people were heads and faces in the empire. With these people in his hands, he could justly take over the city under the pretext of military control. Who is the empire that is suffering from internal and external problems? The east and the wind elves are inextricably linked to the east of the Evergreen Aisle. The south is also suddenly seen by the army of the Jordanian army, not to mention the Lion of Torquinning the other day. Finally, the fortress of Azeruta was captured. At this time, it can be said that the situation in the southern part of the empire has been mired, and even the Mez area was exposed to the front.

At this time, they were nominally allies of the empire, a Bugatian fleet. After reaching a consensus with the nobles in the empire, rested here and helped them to fight against the army of the Georgians, it would not sound that People feel weird. At this time, letting the southern imperial nobles contact and order those middle-level officials would not allow Cruz in the port to have the illusion of being "occupied", making them feel as if the port was still under the control of the empire, and this branch The Bugat fleet was nothing more than a temporary amulet.

Of course, to do all this, it is necessary to reach consensus with people like Count Alcons.

Brando hadn't figured out how to deal with these fugitive nobles. After all, 'taking over' a port from an empire's owner. This sounds like a rebellion. For these fugitive nobles, they may not Willing to stand on the same boat with him. But he did not expect that an imperial merchant ship they had captured on the route helped him a lot.

At that time, he originally ordered the capture of the merchant ship, fearing that the other party would leak the news that such a huge fleet appeared in the empire's hinterland. However, when they boarded the ship, he found that the merchant ship's bilge was full of fleeing from the empire's heart. Refugees.

These refugees brought them unimaginable news-

Civil war broke out.

Just this week when they were sailing on the noble inner sea, exactly the day after they left Port Ruen, earth-shaking changes took place in the Cruz Empire. Her Majesty suddenly had control of an army that had never appeared before. This army was composed of Senya and Miner. She directly deprived Vala of her power as the temple of the flames and declared religion. reform. A religious reform initiated by a secular monarch was a big joke. At the first time, the church in the empire was divided into two distinct groups. The faculty and faculty flags clearly stood by Her Majesty's side, and the department loyal to Walla raised the banner of resistance immediately after a brief turmoil.

In short, the interior of the empire suddenly turned into a pot of porridge. This was not just a matter inside the Temple of Fire. This huge change of interest touched everyone's heart. The nobles of Cloak Bay really responded immediately. The call of the Silver Queen, but the nobles of the North clearly did not accept this fact. In fact, at this time, the two sides had fought one another in eastern Metz. It was surprising that the traditional military nobles had lost and suffered a big loss. Brando could not understand these refugees for a while. What's more, it is only known that the coalition forces composed of several lords retreated in the direction of Ludwig after losing.

But these are not the points. A real bombshell is:

The miners are back.

These survivors from the Dark Dragon Age finally resurrected.

When I heard the news, the supporters of Her Majesty the Queen, including Count Alcons, could n’t believe it for the first time, and then doubted it, but after repeated confirmation, they fell into silence one by one. in. After all, this is still a world dominated by the post-war order of the Holy War, no matter how they leave the waves and betrayal. I dare not deny the justice of the four sages. This is the people of the Dark Iron and the foundation of the sages and nobles. They did not understand for a while what was going on with Her Majesty, was she crazy? How dare she?

But after the silence, Brando understood that his opportunity was coming, and rushed to instill his plans to these imperial imperial nobles while the heat was hot-in the unknown environment, it is best to stand still. Then choose what to do next. Probably under such a huge change, such a small problem of 'taking over' a port is not on the hearts of these nobles who flee. Besides, the people of Count Alcons are not stupid, of course, understand that the enemy is around Surrounding, the situation is unknown what choice is the best.

They invariably chose to be silent about what Brando took over the port.

But Brando actually understood that he chose to be silent at this time. In fact, it is supported.

With the affairs of the port settled and every piece of work being assigned, Brando stood in the original office of Baron Ludwig Metz and saw through the arched windows that nothing happened outside the port of Fattan. Big commotion. Everything was still orderly, and finally I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This time the wizards of Buga gave him a big problem, and now he has finally taken the most difficult first step. Fortunately, Tulaman did not lie to him, and Her Majesty really acted first. As a result, he will have more choices next.

At least the interior of the empire is no longer an iron plate.

As for pulling tiger skins and making flags, Brando thought that the wizards of Buga would certainly not mind this little thing with himself. He couldn't help but think maliciously that these **** guys wanted to stay away from things. , They just couldn't let them do as they wished. So that these wizards who think they are superior understand that they need to pay a price for themselves.

He knocked on the table just to see Shire sliding in through the door.

The young sorcerer looked at his Lord Lord strangely, and said, "Sir, the weather is good today, there are some unexpected gains in the port."

"Let's stop talking nonsense," Brando said with a look on his face, and then hesitated slightly. "A windfall?"

"Well, it's a big fish ... Oh no, it should be a little mermaid."

What a mess, mermaid? I am also Siren. Brando frowned and was about to speak, but Charles already knew what he was going to say, and interrupted him with a smile: "I don't say anything, Lord, you can come and see."

...

The gap light that penetrates into the darkness is the only connection between this huge mobile cage and the outside world. It comes from the air holes above. This beam of light is tilted down in a dark environment and falls on the floor not far from Faina. A circular light spot is formed. She wears cold shackles on her hands and feet. The shackles are not heavy, but they are inlaid with magic squares that can isolate magical powers, turning her magical powers into bubbles.

She calculated the day and night based on the location of that spot and the food she received. It has been almost a week since she was put in the cage, and the day she was detained in Wagner was almost half a month later.

When thinking about being locked in this cage, she was so angry that she could not wait to kill Rodney's **** villain, but as the days passed, she became a little numb. After the rage, she was deeply disturbed and worried. Fear; but Faina's most feared was not her own destiny. After all, she was a student of Saint Sword of Veronica, and she would not kneel to the enemy for mercy, but she was worried about her family and father. There is also an unforeseen encounter with her sister. If at this time she does not know who is behind the flowers and leaves, then she is a real idiot noble lady, without any political IQ.
