V3.Chapter 34

Arendelle. ⊙

Sauron sat in the corner of the Copper Furnace Tavern and waited quietly. About half an hour later, the gloomy man he had seen before appeared here. Compared with the previous meeting, his expression this time was more respectful, and there was even a hint of panic, as if he didn't dare to look directly into Sauron's eyes.

"Your Mightiness."

He leaned over slightly and handed a sealed document to Sauron, and said solemnly, "This is what you want."

Sauron nodded and reached out to take it, then opened it and glanced at it quickly, and said slowly, "Has the attack started? It looks like Prince Hans will retreat soon."

"You help me deliver another order."

"The fleets of the southern island countries have been hit hard. I need them to gather the enemy in the Dark Tide Strait and hit the southern island countries' fleets."

The gloomy man immediately nodded and said yes, then glanced at Sauron and quickly left after seeing that he had no other orders.

anyway.

The order explained above is to try to befriend the Pirate King, and his energy is also favored by the Thieves Guild.

………………

the next day.

There was a mess on Keel Island, the port was half destroyed, and many warships needed repairs.

Prince Hans stood near the port and watched all this, with a deep sense of frustration on his face. Just a ghost ship made him so embarrassed, which made him feel weak and powerless.

Rapid footsteps sounded.

The figure of the high-level warlock appeared behind him, and before he got close, he said anxiously: "His Royal Highness! The big thing is bad!"

"This is the news sent by the kingdom using the communication technique."

Hearing the words of the high-level warlock, Prince Hans felt a squeak in his heart. The spellcaster has five rings of communication, so he has always maintained close contact with the southern kingdom. He stretched out his hand anxiously to take the document, and after a little glance, his face turned pale, as if he had been hit hard, and muttered, "Beheader - Sauron!?"

"It turns out he was the one who attacked us!...Why would he attack us!?...Why would he help Arendelle?"

The high-level warlock looked at Prince Hans' pale face. Reaching out to touch him, he said anxiously: "His Royal Highness! What matters now is not why Sauron the Beheader attacked us! It's the situation in the kingdom that is already very bad! Our coastline is completely lost, and the enemy is in our waters. Run rampant, and attack anywhere along the coast!"

"Your Majesty, let us retreat immediately!..."

Without the ability to go out to sea, pirates' warships can directly bombard cities along the coast. Now the entire southern island country is in a state of panic, especially since many gods have become silent. After the priests get no response, they can't even ask for help from the temple. Pirates from the south coast were like when Vikings invaded Europe, looting wherever they could attack like locusts.

"Retreat...retreat!..."

Prince Hans turned pale. He murmured, "Order the entire army to retreat."

The attack on Arendelle ended in failure, all plans became a dream, and the original purpose of blocking the northern route and opening up the west coast was completely unsuccessful. Prince Hans can imagine how much blame he will suffer after returning to the country. The nobles will blame him, and the kingdom will blame him, and the brothers he has tried so hard to knock down may have already begun to plan a comeback, and in the end there may even be even him. The inherited throne cannot be preserved.

"go back!"

Prince Hans's expression gradually recovered, and he said solemnly: "I must go back first! As long as I inherit the throne. I can still make a comeback!"

"The army is still in my hands, and everything has a chance."

Speaking of this, his expression was slightly distorted, as if he was planning something.

He stared at the High Warlock behind him. With a grim expression on his face, he said, "I want to see that sea witch! I have completed the agreed upon things, and she must also help me ascend to the throne as agreed!"

Hearing Prince Hans's words, the high-level warlock's face changed slightly, and then he lowered his voice and said, "His Royal Highness."

"Let's go back and talk about this."

………………

Arendelle. Royal Palace.

Princess Anna stared at the bearded general with a face full of surprise, and said in disbelief, "What? You mean the enemy has retreated?"

"Yes."

The ice witch standing next to her nodded and said, "We have been monitoring the nearby sea area and can be sure that they are retreating."

"Great!" Princess Anna stood up happily.

Then. There was a trace of worry and sadness on her face, and she murmured, "Is it him? Why didn't he come to see me?"

"Does he hate me so much?"

"When you came here, did you refuse to even see me?"

Hearing Princess Anna's sad words, the other people next to each other looked at each other, and finally the ice witch said, "His Royal Highness. There is news that the pirates on the south coast attacked the southern island country. I am afraid that it is really the one who helped us secretly. That Sauron Lord! The enemy was also attacked from the rear, and then hurriedly retreated!  …”

Princess Anna nodded dazedly when she heard the words, and murmured, "Really?"

"Then why didn't he come to see me?"

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

At this moment, a guard suddenly rushed up and shouted: "Not good! You... ghost ship!... A ghost ship appeared in the port!..."

Everyone raised their heads in surprise.

Princess Anna even rushed out and ran towards the port.

"Walk!"

The captain of the maid glanced at the others, followed quickly, and soon they caught up with Her Royal Highness, who was trotting ahead.

The port of Arendelle is filled with mist.

Through the fog, you can see a black battleship docked in the distance, with a black hull, black sails, and black flagpoles. Just a glance makes people feel a deep pressure.

A huge shadow wandered around the ghost ship.

No ships in the vicinity dared to approach, and everyone looked there in awe and fear.

"Sauron!!!..."

Princess Anna stared at the black battleship in the distance. Tears fell for some unknown reason. She put her little hand to her mouth and shouted forward, "Is that you?!!!..."

There is no response.

The dark ghost ship seemed to be empty. It stayed near the port of Arendelle for a moment, and then gradually disappeared into the fog.

The dark clouds dissipated.

The bright sunshine fell on the rich and beautiful city in this country of ice and snow, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

The clouds of war are fading.

The mysterious disappearance of the eldest princess did not cause this rich country to decline, because they knew that there was another person and another figure guarding this place.

Guard the mistress here!

Maybe he didn't show up, but she believed he would show up again when she needed him.

Because this is his promise!
