Chapter 419： Position (on)

The morning sun dyed the horizon into a faint red glow, among which many white clouds drifted gently.

Thousands of rays of sunlight shone on the calm river of anger, exuding a faint halo, and everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.

However, what is calm is only the surface. Below the water level, there are countless undercurrents surging.

Suddenly, an undercurrent broke through the calmness of the water surface, and immediately caused a wave of turbulent waves. The vortices spread out in the waves, and finally disappeared on the horizontal surface.

A huge fleet appeared on the Nushui River in the rays of sunlight, with bulging sails, and the bow of the ship stirred up waves of snow-white under the impact of the undercurrent.

The flag grinning in the wind depicts a pure day horse fluttering its wings. Obviously, this is the navy fleet of the Saint-Pros family in the east.

Although the weakness of the East Territory army is well-known in the Glorious Empire, no one has ever dared to underestimate the East Territory's navy fleet.

This huge fleet consisting of fifteen heavy warships, one hundred and eighty galley warships, fifty light fast dhows, and three hundred logistics transport ships is definitely the most terrifying water power of the Glorious Empire.

is also relying on this almost invincible fleet and the raging river of anger, the east has not been invaded for hundreds of years.

Even if the troops are strong and the horse is strong, and the northern border that pushes the troll empire on the ground, under the threat of this fleet, it is difficult to cross the river of anger.

At the forefront of the fleet at the moment is the flagship "Bailu".

This legendary heavy battleship named after the castle of the Saint-Pros family is the pride of the East and a miracle of the age of sailing wooden battleships.

This water giant is 80 meters long, 20 meters wide, and has a keel of 66 meters long. It has a full-load displacement of 3,000 tons. The ship has three floors and a protective wall is built on each floor to support thousands of archers. Shooting at the same time, eight huge rackets are installed on both sides of the ship's gunwale, and a terrifying bow collision angle is installed on the bow.

In the era of cold weapons, the "Bailu" is definitely an invincible warship that never sinks.

At this time, in the captain's room of the "Bailu", almost all the senior officers of the Tianma Squadron arrived.

Earl Hall, the supreme commander of the fleet, slowly swept across everyone's faces with his majestic gaze, then coughed slightly and said loudly:

"Everyone, I think you all know the reason for this trip to the north.

Yes, it is to go to Silvermoon City and redeem Lord Vincent Marquis!

and the price of redemption..."

At this point, the corners of Earl Hall's mouth twitched a few times, and it seemed difficult to conceal the humiliation and anger in his heart, but fortunately, he calmed down quickly and continued:

"The cost of the redemption, please let Earl Evan personally explain it."

Earl Evan, who was standing behind Earl Hall, smiled slightly, and took a step forward, first nodding to the fleet officers, and then opening a roll of parchment in his hand and saying according to it:

"Everyone, according to the agreement reached between the Duke of St. Pros and the Earl of Anglia, this time we will use six heavy warships, 50 sailing warships, and 120 logistic transport ships in the east. The Marquis of Center..."

Hearing this, even the navy officers who have always been disciplined couldn't help whispering and whispering.

Obviously, such a price makes it difficult for everyone to accept for a while.

They all turned their eyes to Earl Hall, but the highest commander of the fleet bowed his head and remained silent at this time.

However, Earl Hall's clenched fists still show that his heart is not as calm as on the surface.

Earl Evan slowly swept across the faces of the officers with a flat but firm gaze, and he continued to say:

"At the request of the Duke of Saint-Pros, the following warships will be delivered to the North:

Brave, Victory, Rage, Julang, Windchime, Bailu, these six heavy warships will..."

"Earl Evan!" Hearing this, Earl Hall finally couldn't help but say.

He stepped forward and stood still in front of Count Evan, his breath almost sprayed on the face of the young Duke's second son.

Earl Evan looked at Earl Hall, who looked like an irritated bull in front of him, blankly, and asked faintly: "Earl Hall, what are your questions?"

"Earl Evan, it's not that I can't bear a few warships. In fact, everyone knows that I want to see Marquis Vincent return to the east safely. My daughter is looking forward to her husband and my grandson day and night. Can't do without his father!

But what I want to know is, why are all the Hall family battleships selected? "

"The battleship of the Hall family?" Count Evan sneered, and asked Geologically, "Earl Hall, when did the Pegasus navy become the private army of the Hall family?"

"The Heavenly Horse Navy is certainly not the private army of the Hall family, but you must not deny the contribution of the Hall family to this fleet! Most of the income of our family territory is used for fleet maintenance, and the Hall family is the best. The members of, the strongest leaders, all play in this fleet!

Earl Evan, to say something rebellious, without the Hall family, this Pegasus water army would at least weaken its combat effectiveness by half! "

Earl Hall had already given up at this time. Earl Evan’s actions have exceeded the bottom line he can bear. If these six heavy warships are really handed over, then the Hall family’s military power will be completely finished.

Earl Evan snorted and said hard: "Earl Hall, I acknowledge the contribution of the Hall family to the Pegasus naval forces, but you ask yourself, how did the Saint-Pros family make you give in vain?

Have you forgotten that your ancestor was just a lowly civilian rich businessman? Who raised the title of your family to earl step by step? Who made you one of the best families in the East? Even let your daughter marry the heir of the Duke of the East?

The St. Pros family has never treated the Hall family wrongly. Now when you need you, hehe, Earl Hall, you have forgotten your vows and the grace of the St. Pros family? "

"The Hall family has never forgotten their vows! And they will never betray the Saint-Pros family!" Earl Hall said loudly and powerfully, but then he turned his words and said in a deep voice, "But we will never Willing to be deliberately targeted!"

Earl Evan spread out the parchment in his hand, allowing Earl Hall to see the writing on it and the autograph of the Duke of Saint-Pros, and said:

"See clearly, Earl Hall, this is the order of the Duke of Saint-Pros, are you prepared to disobey?"

Earl Hall stared at the sheepskin rolls without speaking, but this silence already meant a silent protest.

Earl Evan just wanted to speak again, but suddenly saw a senior officer also step forward and came to stand behind Earl Hall.

This seems to be a signal.

Immediately after officers from the Hall family came one after another behind Earl Hall.

They also bowed their heads in silence, and expressed a silent protest to Count Evan.

The phrase "Hall family owns half of the Heavenly Horse and Water Army" is perfectly interpreted in this scene.

However, it was only half of the time. The other half of the officers of the Saint-Pros family lined up at the scene, and they also stood behind Count Evan.

The two groups of people faced each other silently, and even some grumpy officers had already touched the sabers on their waists with their right hands.

The air in the cabin became more and more stagnant, gradually becoming suffocating.

The situation seemed to be a string that was tightened to the extreme, and it seemed that it would be completely broken in the next second.

Count Evan looked at Earl Hall and the officers behind him blankly, his expression still calm and calm, as if he hadn’t realized that a civil unrest was about to break out in the Heavenly Horse Water Army, he just listened to him indifferently asking. :

"Earl Hall, do you want to betray the Saint-Pros family?"

Earl Hall took a deep breath, as if to forcibly suppress the full of anger and impulse, and said in a deep voice:

"Earl Evan, I want to talk to you alone."

"Can."
