Chapter 56

The housekeeper hurried into the king's study with a secret letter from the southeast. After entering, he was slightly stunned.

The king, with his back to him, stood in front of the glass window with wisps of rose. The sun not only made his outline bright, but also made his shadow long and long.

The housekeeper's raised foot was suspended in mid air, and his breathing stopped for a moment.

"A letter from Hawkins? Bring it. "

The king did not turn around and said.

The housekeeper was a little lighter than before. He presented the letter to the king.

The King opened the letter.

The letter was scribbled and crooked, not by Charles, a professor, but by Captain Hawkins, who was out of tune.

On the letter, there was only one sentence:

the customs blockade has been implemented.

The housekeeper waited for a while, but got nothing else, so he quietly backed out.

"It's your turn, Mr. devil."

The king closed the letter and said quietly.

"Hell is at your service."

The black mist of the tide surged in the room, and the devil came out of the thick darkness in his black dress as usual. He didn't look much, his clothes were gorgeous and in good condition, and he had a masked smile on his face.

"I hope your lies will not appear in this operation." The king didn't look back. He seemed to be thinking about something. "How long?"

"The plague is coming."

"It's not a plague." The king turned around and his eyes were still in ice blue. "I asked how long it would be before the law became invalid."

The devil's smile froze on his face, and his pupils shrank slightly.

The king looked at him calmly.

"Ah, what are you talking about?" The devil soon began to smile again. He bowed to the king. "The law is always there."

"The Holy See began to interfere in the war, and hell intervened in the black death." The king said slowly, "why didn't either of you show your marks so directly before? Because at that time, taboo laws and decrees spread across the world, and the power to bind you was even stronger. And now, whether it's hell or the Vatican, it's starting to get active. Why? "

The devil did not answer.

The king himself made an answer.

"Because you know that the law is coming to an end, and the world will be the battlefield of darkness and light again, right?"

The king asked softly, but in a tone full of mockery.

The devil was silent for a moment and raised his hand to applaud the king.

"You are too sharp, your majesty." The devil smiles and says, "that's not a good thing. When did you begin to have this idea? "

"The dark ship."

The king replied simply.

The devil suddenly realized: "did you start to talk from that time?"

"How many years are left in a thousand years?" The king did not answer the devil's question, "what does the Millennium Kingdom mean?"

"What does the Millennium Kingdom mean?" The devil laughed, and he leaned over again. "It means the return of the great being."

The return of the great being.

The king chewed the devil's words.

"The people of the Holy See tried to kill me." The devil kept bending over. The king realized that he could not get more information on this issue. He asked what happened at night. "Maybe I should give you an iron rose? Mr. devil. "

"It really flatters me, my majesty." The devil stood up straight, "you actually face up to my loyalty to you."

"Who are they?"

The king ignored the complaint in the devil's words.

"The judges of the holy court, or you can call them the puppets of the gods - or the ministers." After the devil answered, he found out what was wrong. He looked at the king for a while and pressed his forehead, "you are too cunning! You don't remember what happened at night

The king didn't smile today. He said faintly:

"now, say it."

"About nightmares that I'll forget, about godly attendants."

………………

Kossia, former headquarters of the five port alliance.

The Royal rose badge has replaced the original five Port Alliance badge, which has become the headquarters of the "free chamber of Commerce" under the control of the king.

Mrs. tarantula and patriarch Dawson stand on the tower, overlooking the harbor city street below.

"I finally know why your majesty asked so severely that all chambers of commerce must have unified registration." Said Mrs. poisonous spider.

"Who would have thought."

Chief Dawson sighed, too.

They worked hard to complete the establishment of the free chamber of Commerce a few days ago. The pangran chamber of Commerce, formed by the royal family, is more demanding than ever before. All the ships in the port and all the sailors and crew members of the chamber of commerce must be registered in a unified register and finally summarized to the headquarters of the free chamber of Commerce.Originally, they did not understand why they were so strict.

To this day.

The king's writ was announced by the mayor himself: the black death on the other side of the abyss channel has spread to the port city with commercial relations with Legrand. In order to prevent the spread of the black death, from today on, the southeast sea area has officially entered a state of blockade. All ships are not allowed to go to sea, and all ships are not allowed to enter the port again.

Based on the general register of ships of southeast port completed a few days ago, from today on, all ships will be compiled according to the general register. Every 20 ships will be divided into a group, and each group will elect a general responsible person, and the municipal government will set up an inspection team. Every group of ships should check the number of ships and personnel every day.

Once there are fewer ships and some sailors are missing, the crew of the ship group will be severely punished.

Anyone who goes to sea without permission will be executed directly.

Anyone who tries to help those who have fled will be executed directly.

Anyone who tries to break the blockade will be executed directly.

……

The following is a long series of notices, asking people to fully cooperate with the "plague prevention and control group" in the period of sea blockade.

At the end of the writ is the king's autograph.

The writ from the Rose Palace suddenly exploded on people's heads like thunder.

At the port, the sailors who were busy carrying goods onto the ship were stunned. The cigarette pole in the hands of the merchant who stood at the bow and instructed the sailors to place valuables carefully dropped to the deck. Not long ago, the man who had just sent his relatives to sea for a long journey looked stunned and didn't understand what had happened.

All of a sudden.

The merchants unloading and loading at the port yelled and couldn't believe their ears, but the Royal Fleet that appeared at the port immediately opened the long sea blockade pontoon, and the king who arrived in the street some time ago personally armed and took to the street. City officials are like a flock of crows, shuttling through the streets to convey the latest announcement.

When they realized that all this was true, people's arguments exploded like thunder, and the municipal workers who informed the news were surrounded in the street.

"Why not give advance notice of the arrival of the black death?"

Mrs. poisonous spider looked at the merchant's family members who suddenly fainted on the ground, or who would grab the municipal officials who read out the notice. Some could not bear to ask.

Not long ago, their relatives had just gone to sea. Once the sea blockade order was issued, they were isolated from the blockade line and were classified as "no entry".

"Because of humanity."

The Dawson patriarch was silent for a moment and said slowly.

"If the news of the outbreak of the black death was informed before the blockade was implemented, how many options do you think there would be to risk selling goods before the black death? How many people choose to recover their relatives? How many people will know clearly that their relatives have gone to the areas where they may be infected with the plague, but secretly pick them up on shore? "

Mrs. spider was silent and speechless.

"If people are informed of the plague before the blockade, then the subsequent blockade will become a joke."

Dawson took a deep breath.

He finally understood a series of actions of these heavenly kings along the southeast coast.

The five port alliance should be disintegrated and a free chamber of commerce should be established to master the information of ships in the southeast sea area and lay the foundation for strict maritime blockade. Once the opposition rises, the army can suppress it as quickly as possible, spend a huge sum of money and set up a huge Royal Navy in the shortest time, patrol the entire coastal sea line and pull up a long blockade

When the blockade has been quietly completed, it will be officially notified.

At this time, no one can stop the blockade.

Even, in Dawson's recollection, fewer and fewer ships returned during this period.

He did not dare to think that the ships that went to sea had not really returned, or that they had been sunk because of the plague and sank into the sea forever.

"Watch it."

The Dawson patriarch looked with fear at the cavalry passing down the street. They dispersed the crowd.

"It's time for Legrand to talk again."

Legrand, December 1432.

The king issued the "Regulations on emergency blockade of the southeast coast". On the same day, all the ships in the ports of the southeast coast failed to raise their sails, and the port fell asleep. There were no ships going to sea or entering the port.

On the first day when the blockade regulations were issued, there were 12 ships trying to break through the blockade line in a port city of shankosiya.

Twelve ships, all sunk.

On the dock, there are silent knights in armor. The sailors struggling to swim to the shore from the cold water climbed up the dock with all their strength, but the sword came out of its sheath.

Red coast with blood.

With his cold, iron wrists, the king declared that this was a great blockade against mercy.The name of the tyrant was heavily tinged with blood.

The king waited for a report from the southeast at the Rose Palace.

In the face of his new nickname "bloody tyrant", he did not make any evaluation, as if he was not accused of himself.

The sea blockade is just a prelude.

The real response comes from hell.

………………

In the middle of December, the wind is howling and cold.

The royal government can only do its best to blockade the city, but the coastline is long, and the spread of the plague is not just human.

A ship rose and fell with the tide from the sea and finally ran aground. No one got off the boat.

Not far from the stranded ship, there was a small village.

"Here it is."

Out of the darkness came the devil in the black dress. He opened the black umbrella with the sword hidden in the umbrella bone. The sea breeze moved the tail of his coat.

The devil walked briskly onto the dead ship, which was littered with corpses. There are abscesses on the body, big or small.

The rustling mouse escaped from the boat.

The devil snapped his fingers.

The black fire burned up quietly, and a miniature version of hell's door appeared in mid air.

Since the king took that bone, the devil's power seems to be stronger than before.

He bowed gently.

"Come on, gentlemen."

The miniaturized version of hell opens slowly.
