Bruno's words made the navy soldiers present excited. Not only the soldiers, but also Navy Admiral Mar Cullen and many Idar officials present were eager to try.
After all... when Bruno took out the St. George Medal representing the church, this was no longer just a war in the Idar Territory!
The Holy See located in the holy city of Bethlehem is not just the Holy See of the Normans, it is also the Holy See of the entire continent!
In fact, before this, although Mal Cullen was a solid Idar "hawk" general, he was still a little worried.
Because, after all, the pirates they will face are entrenched in the waters of the Kingdom of Basel. Although the major kingdoms on the mainland do not pay much attention to the ocean now, they are too close to the Kingdom of Basel after all!
A heavily armed warship belonging to the nobles of the Norman Empire is going to cause trouble in the waters near the Kingdom of Basel!
Even though the islands where the pirates are based do not belong to any kingdom, anyone who hears it will feel that this is a very serious diplomatic dispute!
However, if it is under the banner of the church, then it is completely different!
With the support of the church and the illumination of the holy light, a nobleman of the Norman Empire traveled across the ocean to fight against the heretics entrenched on the desert islands overseas! To purify those pirates who had committed many crimes!
Listen! Only a devout believer can do this!
In fact... fighting pirates in the name of the church was an idea Bruno just came up with.
Because, as the owner of the Order of St. George, Bruno would be protected by the Crusaders.
So... can it be understood that any army protecting Bruno, Count of Idar, is the Crusaders?
If this logic is followed, then any army led by Idar, as long as it is commanded by Bruno, can be called the Holy Army!
Perfect logic, nothing wrong with it!
So, this is no longer a war between the pirates and the Idars! This is a provocation by the pirates against the church and the Crusaders!
After all, in many cases, a suitable reason is enough for Bruno to occupy the moral high ground. At least... this can make his attack on the pirates justified!
Everyone present stared blankly at the St. George Medal in Bruno's hand. It turned out that...the burden on their shoulders was so heavy! Even the church thousands of miles away was silently watching them from behind!
"Kill the pirates! Avenge blood! Long live the Idar leader!"
Not only was it the first person to shout, but all the soldiers present roared loudly: "Long live Idar!"
Listening to the fighting shouts of the soldiers in front of him, Bruno couldn't help but cast a satisfied glance at a certain corner of the soldiers' square. The atmosphere team he trained had perfect timing, and this wave of assists was perfect!
After boosting morale and issuing orders to fight against pirates, Bruno didn't need to worry about the rest.
Although Bruno has now become a true Archmage-level powerhouse, Bruno has never thought of going on an expedition with the soldiers.
After all, as the area controlled by the Idar Territory continues to increase and the oceans under its control continue to expand, the navy of the Idar Territory must get used to facing all powerful enemies alone!
Otherwise, would it be possible to ask Bruno, a noble lord who is an archmage, to follow the army around all day long to maintain order?
This is obviously impossible!
Rather than charging forward in the name of the Archmage, Bruno preferred to huddle in the Idar territory and cheer for the Idar soldiers.
After all, the deeper Bruno understands the world, the shallower his knowledge becomes.
Who knows if somewhere on the mainland, there will be a powerful man above the level of an Archmage?
The trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Compared with the unpredictable and extraordinary power of magic, Bruno would rather be an ordinary noble lord and farm peacefully!
So...professional things must be left to professional people. Bruno believes that under the leadership of Navy Admiral Mal Cullen and Navy Advisor Captain Jack, the naval soldiers of Idar will be able to give him a satisfactory job.
Answer sheet.
Speaking of Captain Jack, after these days of inspection, Bruno and Mal Cullen have almost learned about Captain Jack’s character and temperament.
In addition, Captain Jack almost revealed all the ship information, number of personnel, weapons and equipment owned by the pirate leader Kelvin Prato, and other information that Captain Jack knew. Therefore, Captain Jack's
A letter of nomination is considered sufficient.
Therefore, under Mal Cullen's deliberate publicity, Captain Jack has become a former pirate captain who repented after being captured by the Idars, and then decided to change his mind and start a new life.
Moreover, Jack will serve as the navy's guide, leading the Idar navy to attack Huanglong and directly attack the Coral Island, the old base camp of the great pirate Kelvin Prato!
Therefore, the naval soldiers of Idar Territory reluctantly accepted the existence of Captain Jack.
…
The three-masted warship "Pioneer" actually officially set sail a week after it was launched.
After all, the naval soldiers still need time to get familiar with the brand new three-masted warship in front of them.
Although Idar's navy soldiers had conducted many simulations before, the warship they used for training was just the captured pirate ship that ran aground, which was very different from the three-masted warship that had just been launched.
difference.
Moreover, only by actually standing on a three-masted warship can the soldiers truly understand what kind of warship they have.
For a time, for every naval soldier, the pride of being an Idar person was beyond words!
It is said that the western part of the empire is the truly wealthy place, but the Idar Territory located in the eastern part of the empire is definitely not bad either!
Not only are the soldiers busy familiarizing themselves with the warships and practicing all the time, but even the logistics personnel of the Idar Navy are not idle at all.
They not only prepared a large amount of weapons and equipment for Idar's naval officers, but also prepared sufficient food, grass, fruits and vegetables for Idar's soldiers.
After all, unlike wars fought on land by standing armies, the navy will not be able to come back in a short while, no matter whether it can win or not.
Finally, in the early morning of this day, under the eyes of Bruno and many Idar officials, the three-masted warship "Pioneer", led by Idar Navy Admiral Mar Kallen, officially left the military port and headed towards Basel.
Heading towards the Kingdom!
The target is the home of the great pirate Kelvin Prato, a coral island located in the territorial waters of Basel!
