526 Chapter 509: Navy Admiral

The Duke of Pastoré marched close to the capital with a large army.

In response, the Duchy Navy held a meeting between the Admiral and the master of the ship.

This is a clear revolt, isn't it?

"Your Highness escaped with your Highness Arnold..."

Shouldn't we protect your Majesty?

"The Duke and His Majesty are real brothers.You won't do anything stupid. "

Your Majesty is still here... I don't want the city to be a battlefield anyway.

The captains exchange their thoughts.

Volta, the Admiral who listened to it in silence, coughs and draws everyone's attention to herself.

"... I understand each other's opinions."

Volta was a bald-headed man of fifty this year.

I have always stood on the ship and fought for the Duchy.

However, I was able to assume the position of Admiral because Volta did not achieve any outstanding results.

The Navy also had factions.

Volta was at the top of the list as a result of the Faction's clampdown.

After serving as Admiral for several years, he decided to give up the position of Admiral to a powerful successor.

He was an admiral of connections.

The Duke of Pastoré promised Volta an admiralty for a long time.

Originally, Volta was more of a kingdom than an empire.

Because during the Sea Dragon incident, Volta left the country on a mission.

I didn't see the incident in person. I just asked.

Meanwhile, he was involved in a battle to support the Kingdom.

A royal soldier desperately resisting the siege of the Empire.

A Royal soldier to thank for delivering the supplies.

It still burns into my eyes.

I desperately sailed for them.

For Volta, that's all.

At that time, it was impossible to team up with the Empire that was the enemy.

"The Navy is just an army to prepare for the outside world."And if we show movement here to protect the city, the city will be a battlefield.To avoid that, our navy will remain neutral. "

"─ I can't agree with you."

One of the captains disagreed with Volta's policy.

The man in the captain's clothes was slightly older than Volta.

Everyone had a moustache, and everybody had a glance at the man with the penetrating moustache.

The man's name is Mesto.

When Al, once dressed as Leo, tried to enter the harbor, he stopped it.

"Do you think neutrality is necessary, Captain Mesto?"

"The Admiral may not have seen it, but... our nation was threatened by the sea dragon and saved by the Empire."The prince of the Empire saved the princes and daughters of the sea dragons and many others.It was the Empire that bridged the alliance with Rondine, and it was the Empire that helped the Holy Sword in the confrontation with the sea dragon.It's the Empire that has the Duke now. "

"That's why we should go to the Empire?"

"The decision to become an Empire is well founded.The kingdom abandoned the saint.The Empire dared to choose a solution with the Holy Sword, while having the opportunity to send troops to our country.It is evidence that there is no will to invade our country.I also received a lot of support supplies.Even children can tell which one they can trust.Just because you are dissatisfied with the decision, there is nothing but tyranny, such as sending out an army. "

"But Captain Mesto, you will remember."The kingdom and we fought together.I still remember the faces of the royal soldiers who delivered the supplies. "

"Indeed, the Kingdom and our country are comrades in war."But it was we who helped, and it was the Kingdom who helped.It was the Empire that helped us in such a crisis of annihilation.If the faces of the Kingdom soldiers are burning in your eyes, my eyes are burning with the image of an Empire ship that has raised a white flag for our people.Her Highness begged the adventurer for the people, and Her Highness exposed herself to the sea dragon for the people.I think that fact is enough for me? "

Many captains nodded to the mesto's words.

The Kingdom was once a comrade-in-arms.

However, the Empire and the United States faced the greatest crisis.

The Empire was a comrade again.

The Duke of Pastoré, in search of an alliance with the Kingdom against the backdrop of his own military might, was rampant in the eyes of a captain like Mesto who had that feeling.

Volta was silenced by an unexpected rebellion.

In the meantime, a subordinate came into the room.

"Excuse me!"

What's going on?

"I'm sorry, too! I have a message for the Admiral and the Captain!"

It was a soldier threatened by Al.

After Al and Julio escaped, the soldiers didn't tell Admiral Volta about the message.

Volta told me to shut up.

However, I will leave a message for the Admiral and the Captain.

There is no life unless it is communicated.

Soldiers had no choice but to say it here.

What?

"Ah, a message from His Royal Highness Prince Arnold!"If the Kingdom is a comrade in war, what is my brother?That's it! ”

"All right! Get back!"

Volta tries to lower the soldiers immediately.

But the mest didn't allow it.

"Wait. Why did you get the message?"

"W-Well, that's..."

“Be honest, Prince Arnold is a terrifying man.If you don't tell them accurately, will you be retaliated against? "

"Ji, actually... the Prince and the Prince came to visit the Admiral... and I received instructions to buy time, so I kept the two of them."When the prince who noticed it left, he sent me a message... and told me that he would kill me if I didn't tell him... "

The soldier began to tremble with fear.

The Mest commands another soldier to lower him.

Then he slowly turned his gaze to Volta.

"Can you explain what this means... Admiral?"

"...... it was just a mistake."

“Like we said, isn't the Navy neutral? Why are you stopping me?"

"It's not a stumbling block. I wanted to have time to think!”

"Do you think that's going to make sense?"While saying it's neutral in your mouth, you're connected to the duke.... "

"We should team up with the Kingdom for our country!"I don't know why! "

Volta reveals his irritability.

Volta stared at the mesto with cold eyes.

And.

"Think carefully about the prince's message."If the kingdom is a comrade, Prince Leonardo and Prince Arnold, the Empire, will be a comrade. ”

We're in a fight with the Empire!

"He was also hostile to Rondine.Enemy allies change according to the time and position.I didn't even know that you were an admiral... but since you acted on your own, you're also responsible for it. "

"What...?"

"You don't know that Prince Arnold has completely suppressed the nobility as the prime minister of the clan."If I were such a prince, I wouldn't be able to buy time for him.If that's pointed out, I'm sorry, but I'll give you first. "

Having said that, Mesto left the room just to say that the conversation was over.

The other captains left the room one after the other.

The rest of Volta was hoping for the arrival of the Duke of Pastoré, feeling helplessly terrified.
