Chapter 673 Meeting (Part 1)
His Highness Prince Xiusenya is coming back.
Early in the morning, officials on Lantu Island stood at the newly built port of Lantu Island and looked out and talked.
The Second Prince welcomed His Highness the vassals at all levels who managed the island, as well as some representatives of the people.
With His Highness Xiusenya coming back, there are also a group of soldiers who left with him last time.
There are young women who miss their husbands and sons, and they all get up early, standing a little further from the port, looking eagerly.
At this moment, snowflakes were flying in the sky. This was the first snow since winter began. The snow was not heavy, but people had already wrapped in thick clothes and rubbed their palms one by one, but the weather was very cold!
The officials are better. As officials all over the place, they have more money than those in command of the people, so they are naturally very good at enjoying it.
He was wearing fur clothes and heavy boots on his feet. Sitting in the shed on the pier, he would not be disturbed by any wind and snow.
They were all waiting for the noble Prince Xiusenya.
Most of this group of officials were palace nobles, and even the second son and third son of the palace nobles. They had a miserable fate and were appreciated by the prince and promoted them in an extraordinary manner. They were promoted to the managers of Lantu Island.
For those island leaders, they were once a group of homeless refugees. His Highness the Prince sent a ship to pick them up and gave them a place to settle down, so that they could settle down again. They were naturally grateful.
Officials were sitting and waiting in the shed, while the women were looking forward to it, and some children were playing in the snow without any worries.
Snowball fights, snowmen, and the interests and sorrows of adult worlds do not exist in their world.
There were also many people gathered together, looking in the direction of the sea while talking about things.
The topics that everyone is talking about are naturally inseparable from the elves that happened some time ago.
Things that people love to hear are always about war, heroes, legends, etc.
When elves attack humans, such amazing things are far away from their own lives, they will naturally easily make the leaders interested and discuss.
Elf, those beautiful and evil races?
Who doesn't know them?
These evil races have always been hostile to humans and like to live in the forest. Before, they often only heard how many evil elves had been purified. Now, they actually attacked humans on their own initiative?
They actually have the courage to provoke a war?
Are they not afraid of humans being furious and destroying their clans?
Because the elves attacked the navy of the Kingdom of Derbyt, the sea area was very uneasy. Merchant ships that used to take that route have now changed their routes and have changed them to sea routes on the side of Blue Tu Island. Not only did Romon's Yuanfan Port make a profit, but the ports on Blue Tu Island also benefited a lot.
It is precisely because of this that a lot of news was brought over by these fleets.
As a result, news about elves was spread. Every businessman who came over would bring some news about elves fighting humans when they saw people.
In this way, it is difficult for people not to discuss these things. It is time for heavy snow to seal the sky. What else can the leaders do besides chatting?
Whenever we chat, we must be about how the elves suddenly attacked humans, how the human navy fought back, and how fierce the battle was.
"…I heard that the elves have destroyed all the navy in the Kingdom of Derbyt..."
When the news came, everyone was surprised at first, and then they scoffed: "No matter how powerful the elves are, they can destroy a country's navy. What nonsense are they talking about?"
Although the leaders had experienced demonic disasters, even those demonic armies did not destroy the national army at once?
Why, those elves are actually even more powerful than demons?
They don't believe it.
"The elves have come ashore from the port and have controlled all the coastal territory. It is said that a massacre has been carried out!" After the news came, people were shocked.
As ordinary geniuses, they really cannot imagine how as elves, they can destroy a country's navy!
When more and more news came, people panicked for a while.
Without a captain, there will be no panic. The navy of a country has been easily destroyed by elves!
If the target of being attacked is replaced by Blue Tu Island...
Fortunately, some officials came out to appease the people and pointed out that the place where the battle between elves and humans took place is extremely far away from Blue Earth Island, and the route is not the same, so there is no need for the leaders to worry about things that have nothing to do with them!
In this way, the people's hearts gradually calmed down.
The topic of elves began to be talked about by the leaders.
"What a group of untouchables, I give some benefits, and I just devote myself to it. In this way, when His Highness gains power, the untouchables on this island must be dealt with."
A far away from the crowd, two people stood in front of a carriage, looking at the crowd in the distance, a slightly younger man cursed, bounced the snow on his head and walked towards the carriage.
"Yes, it's really a group of unsavvy pariahs!" The man behind him said in agreement.
"Hmph!" The man walked onto the carriage and said to the person who followed him: "By the way, after hearing the secret report from the king, His Majesty's health seems to be getting worse and worse. It is estimated that in the past few years, when that day really comes, your Highness can ascend the throne as king, you and I will benefit from it."
"If this person is done, we will not have a good life! We must monitor the Second Prince well. We cannot let go of any action he does here!" The last sentence seemed to be talking to the other party, and also seemed to be talking to himself.
These two of them were sent by the capital to monitor Xiu Senya. They entered Lantu Island as merchants. Now they also have a shop on the island, and their daily operations are also very formal.
No one knew that they would be spies sent by the eldest prince.
"This is natural, our mission is very important, I know!" the latter said quickly.
"By the way, I heard that two people sent by His Highness suddenly disappeared. What did you find out?" The former suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Oh, I know about this, but after a long time of searching, I didn't find any traces. I wonder if something happened. What do you think about this? Will it have something to do with Viscount Tetasha?" The latter said with some doubt.
"It is very likely that, as the above means, the two people were monitoring Viscount Tetasha. As a result, they lost contact with the upper class not long after they came out. I don't know what happened. However, I think their disappearance has a direct relationship with Viscount Tetasha!" The young man said coldly: "These local nobles, who hold their own territory and strength, are indeed unscrupulous in their actions. Even though they know they are people from the royal family, they will kill them. The divine right of the kingdom of Feisi is really reasonable!"
"Then...we..."
"No." The young man sneered and looked at his companion: "We just need to do our part, and as for other things, there are naturally others to take care of."
"Yeah...this is reasonable."
The young man had a little complacent smile and didn't say anything.
Snowflakes were floating in the sky, falling one by one.
The snow on the ground is getting thicker and thicker.
At this time, there was a fleet on the other side of the sea, and the outline began to be revealed.
"Here I'm back! He'm back!" At this moment, someone suddenly cheered, and then there was a group of people cheering!
The two people in the carriage opened the curtain and looked towards the port, and saw that everyone was already looking towards the sea.
From them, you can also see that at the end of the sky and the sea, there are ships coming slowly...
"He is back, and he will see the situation before leaving." The young man looked at him intently and said.
"Okay." The man next to him replied.
Although he was a few years older than the former, his official position was one level higher than his and he was under pressure everywhere.
With the attention of the two, the fleet gradually approached the port, and the island's officials and masses lined up to welcome him.
They were a little far from the crowd we were greeting, and they couldn't hear clearly what everyone was saying, and only occasionally heard a burst of cheers that were higher than a wave.
"The Second Prince really wins the hearts of the people in his territory. We must also report this to the Lord Highness together..." The young man frowned and said softly, "At the critical moment, if the Second Prince recruits troops from his territory, he can form an army."
"They are here." The man next to him suddenly said.
"It's okay, there are businessmen watching nearby. They won't notice us. They can just observe it at a close distance." The young man said.
Sure enough, after a while, the prince's team came to this side from the port landing.
Pulling up the curtain a little, the two people in the car watched the team passing by the car seriously.
They found that the team was about 300 people, dressed in neatly leather armor, and had very good weapons. They all looked well-trained. It seemed that the second prince had invested a lot in his guard team.
The Navy is a royal team, and the Fourth Fleet is only commanded by Xiu Senya, but these 300 people are obviously Xiu Senya's private guard, and they are also the open guard with confidence.
With Blue Tu Island, of course there is a private guard.
"Let's go, report to Your Highness to know the news of the Second Prince's arrival on the island!" The young man sighed and said, "His private guard seems to have more than 300 people, all of whom are about level 3 soldiers, and there are also knights leading the team. The strength cannot be underestimated."
"There are also mages. It seems that the development of Blue Tu Island has attracted some people!" Several mages attracted attention in the team.
"Let's retreat, don't attract attention."
"Yes!" One person got out of the car, got in front, raised his whip, turned the carriage and headed towards their stronghold.
Chapter completed!
