548 Episode 531: Elite Duke's Navy

Upon hearing reports that the Fines had taken over the castle, Julio and I quickly flew to the city on a boat we had prepared.

Even though we took over the castle, it won't hold for long.

If it's by sea, we can get there quickly.

It was a ship for that purpose.

However, we have only one ship ready.

And because it's a medium-sized ship, we only have a minimal crew on board.

I see the city!

Hearing the words of one of the sailors, all came out on deck.

But there was a great barrier in front of the city that spread out in front of us.

"The Duchy Navy is blockading the capital!" The numbers are dozens! "

An anomaly in which a castle is captured.

Of course, the capital is on a strict alert.

Even though we have the prince, we have not taken control of the city.

With no great army appearing, much of the city's ground forces will be concentrated in castles.

There were two routes to get in from the outside.

The land and the sea, and the land is blocked by Marcel.

It is only natural for the Duchy Navy to block the sea.

"So, Your Highness... how are you going to break through...?"

“They're military personnel. Even if I'm wrong, I'll follow orders."

As I say, ten Duchy Navy ships lined up on the ocean pointed magic cannons at us.

They were ready to fire at any moment.

"So, what do we do...?"

"I'm going to have to ask them to break the rules of military service.There must be some confusion. Loyalty and Military Duties.Which do you want to prioritize? "

You know the situation.

It was Barnabas who put the king under house arrest, and Fine who helped him.

Many in the castle know that the prince has been liberated, and many will stand with the Finnes.

Even if not, the Duke's army was completely inferior.

We only have one chance to change the saddle.

I don't want to be on a sinking mud boat if I don't like it.

However, some people need someone to say a few words to even switch from such a muddy ship.

We're here to give you that hook.

”I told the approaching ship. This is the captain of the Duke's Navy.The city is currently under lockdown.Whoever enters is not allowed.We've been given permission to sink. Stop the ship. ”

“Captain Mesto is a personality.I was wondering if I could tell. "

"Well, there are nine more captains..."

Regardless of the personality assessment, you must lean your neck to the word you know when you speak.

After all, this voice sounds familiar.

Once upon a time, this captain was loyal to his duty to the end.

It will remain the same now.

If we don't give you a good excuse, you won't be able to do what we thought.

With that in mind, I send a signal to Lars with my gaze.

If we don't respond, we could be sunk with no questions asked.

Well, let's go gambling.

"I'm sure your Highness will understand them!"Just like Prince Leonardo once did! "

"What are you misunderstanding?This is the Principality of Albatro. And this is the civil unrest in the Duchy of Albatross.It's not my word they're waiting for. That's what you said. "

"I-Is that me...!?"

"Indeed, I led most of the civil unrest."But the banner was yours.The soldiers didn't give me their lives.I put my life on the line for you.Then it's up to you to speak to them at this point. ”

"Well, but... I can't make you follow someone like your Highness... I'm not good at it..."

"I'm not good at it either."If Leo's on the side, I'll leave it to him.But Leo isn't always there.I'm just doing it because I have to.And now... it's up to you, and you to do it. "

I always do so if I can hold someone accountable for their responsibilities or work.

But life is not like that.

If you have something that you can't cede, you won't.If you think you don't care about the results, you can leave everything to others, but there aren't many people who think so.

Failure is unacceptable here and now.

If I succeed by speaking to them, they will not relinquish their duties in my words.

Not one or two.

We must bring ten captains to our side.

Giulio could only do that.

Because they serve each other.One thing is necessary, and here only Giulio meets it.

"But what can I say..."

"Tell me what you want to say. [M]You are a son who works for his country. [M]You can say whatever you want.Just say what you want to say. If you can't, you just have to do something about it. "

For starters, we have a powerful air force here, Finn.

Nevertheless, no matter how many fins there are, ten military ships are heavy.

If Julio fails, he'll need my magic.

I don't want that to happen.

Your Highness, are you all right with Sir Julio?

Lars asked me softly.

I replied with a smile to Lars like that.

"I don't know. I don't know, it's just someone I'm dealing with."

“Now, let's talk to your men about what happened when you were thrown out into the ocean.”

"Keep it that way." Well, I think it's okay.

What's the rationale for that?

"The Duchy Navy has the pride of being one of the best on the continent.And I've been proud of it.So, for the sake of the kingdom that has been overrun by the Empire, I went to the rescue knowing the danger.They have the inheritance they've inherited.A kingdom or an empire. If we talk about support, they won't move.But now Julio is the son who came to save his father.And we've come this far, bouncing back against the underdogs.It would be unacceptable to hold them back.The cause lies with Giulio. "

Regardless of the amount of use, the Duke's army kept the prince captured.

Everyone knows what they use to negotiate.

Nevertheless, the Navy remained faithful to its duties.The Duke's army was holding the prince captive.

But not now.

That's where Julio came in.

It would be enough as an excuse.

"I'm... Giulio di Albatro." I'm here to help my father, the Lord.And... we're here to end this civil unrest soon.We've already made up our minds. If you prolong it, people's blood will flow.I... I'm putting an end to this war today. "

Julio takes a deep breath.

Still no movement on the ten ships.

"Since I was a child... I grew up listening to the Duke's Navy."Children are taught that it is the pride of the Principality.I think the Navy has done some shameless work.The Duchy Navy is still a source of pride for me.I know you're in a tough position, and I know you're impossible.I still want you to let me through. I am obliged to go and save my father and put an end to this war.It is my duty to go to the castle where those who have a heart fight. "

Julio gave a slightly lost expression and then looked over.

I nodded to it.

No matter what, you can try.

Because you don't have to get lost.

Julio was a little surprised, but his face changed immediately.

You must have decided to be prepared.

"Move on! We're entering the city now!"Tell the captains of the Duchy Navy!It's up to you to make all the decisions!You are the pride of the Duchy of Albatro.Please--I want you to continue to be proud of us.I dare you to use this word.It was the word of my most pathetic time, and the word of your proudest time."I look forward to the wise judgment of the captains of the elite Duchy Navy"

In response to Giulio's words, the ship began to move forward.

The distance between the ship and the ten ships was gradually shrinking.

If one of the captains issues an order, the ship will be hit and disabled.

And it's finally close.

Evasion is no longer possible.

It was a fatal blow.

The squeaky air blew across the ship.

Slowly, our ships pass between ten ships.

Looking to the side, a man stood at the edge of the boat next to him.

A man wearing a captain's hat.

Stores moustaches and has piercings.He looked like a captain to me.

Perhaps he is Captain Mesto.

Captain Mesto and I have the same gaze.

Captain Mest slowly salutes me.

And I'm going to salute you.

That would be the best greeting for a soldier like him.

Completely missed, when ten ships were behind us.

I heard a loud instruction from behind.

"Inverted! Following His Highness!"

Looking behind us, there were ten military ships following us.
