Chapter 6 Is White Clothes Crossing the River? (7)
The Khazar Khanate is located in the northern steppes, bordering both the Qiqiu Empire and the Tianfang Empire. The Qi Qiu Empire is quite afraid of these nomads who live on horseback.
For the sake of border security, while secretly suppressing the forces of the Khazar Khanate, the Seven Hills Empire also tried to maintain a superficial peace with them. Therefore, seeing Hezekiah suddenly appear on the deck, Aulus hurriedly ordered the soldiers to
They stopped what they were doing.
But he was still unwilling in his heart and asked angrily: "Hezekiah, I heard that you recently became the Khan of the Khazar Khanate. Why didn't you go find the lush prairie for your people and run to this pirate ship?"
Coming up?"
Hezekiah spat on the deck: "I just broke into the city of Azov, and now I'm going to take the loot to sell. Do you have any objections?"
"What's in your cargo hold is not trophies, but warriors from the Pirate Kingdom!" Aulus shouted loudly, "What is the secret plan of the Khazar Khanate sneaking soldiers across the Black Sea Strait?"
"Bah! Who do you think you are? I have to report to you for everything I do?"
"Protecting the safety of the coastline of the Seven Hills Empire is my duty as a general!"
"My first few ships robbed your Qiqiu Empire? Is that how you yell? To tell you the truth, I'm so poor that I'm going to take a boat to Aflica to get some oil and water. If you don't get out of the way, you mean to let me Khazar
Is the Khanate nearby to rob your Qiqiu Empire?"
With that said, Hezekiah waved to the sailors on the deck: "Ignore them and keep sailing! I don't believe they dare not to get out of the way!"
The flying Zealander moved again. The huge hull was like a mountain, pressing towards the battleship of Aulus blocking the front.
"General..." The soldiers looked at Aulus at a loss. Aulus glared at Hezekiah on the deck, became cruel, and shouted with all his strength: "Ocean fire, prepare!"
"Aulus!" Hezekiah shouted downwards, "Are you really ready to go to war with the Khazar Khanate?"
"Stop scaring me! How can your Khazar Khanate build such a giant ship? This is definitely a ship from the Pirate Kingdom, and it is also a flagship level! There must be big figures from other countries besides you on board. If you don't want to start a war,
Just let him come out and talk to me!"
The situation is tense to the extreme. The ocean fire on the Aulus ship is ready to go out, and the flying Zealander will collide with the Aulus battleship at any time.
Aulus wiped the sweat from his face and mentally prepared for war to break out.
At this moment, a girl's voice came from the flying Sealander: "Stop the ship! Don't continue moving forward!"
Along with the voice appeared a girl with a hot figure. She was covered with expensive furs, and she obviously had a certain status. More than that, when Aulus looked at the girl, he always felt a little familiar. But who was that girl?
Who and where he had seen him before, Aulus could not remember for a while.
He rubbed his chin and searched for parts about this girl in the ocean of memory. At first, he tried to find this girl among the ladies of the Seven Hills Empire he had met, but this attempt failed. Then, he began to think again
Whether he had seen this girl in a foreign court before, but he had been to very few foreign courts. This route was quickly rejected. Finally, he had to turn his attention to those around noble ladies.
...a blurry image began to appear.
As the image gradually became clearer, Aulus opened his mouth wider and wider. When he finally remembered who the girl was, he subconsciously took a step back, pointed at the girl and shouted: "You are the one next to that person..."
…!”
"I suggest you keep your mouth shut."
Amy interrupted Aulus coldly
"General Aulus, you are right, there is a big man sitting in this ship. But for the safety of both of us, it is better not to say what you think."
Aulus woke up and turned around, swallowing the unspoken words. Then, a dark smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"This is really an unexpected situation. The last time we met was in Antilia. Judging from your appearance, it seems that you are living well in the pirate kingdom?"
"Thanks to Scipio's grace, I'm doing okay."
To the soldiers around Aulus, these words sounded like they were thanking the current Basileus of the Seven Hills Empire. But after Aulus heard this, he would definitely understand who this "Scipio" was referring to.
After giving such an answer, Amy changed the subject:
"General Aulus, we are just passing through the Black Sea Strait on business this time, and we have no hostility towards the Seven Hills Empire. I hope the general will not embarrass us. No matter for the general or for us, the person on the ship should not appear here.
good."
Aulus sneered: "Why can't I choose to eliminate you directly here? In this way, the person on the ship will never have a chance to appear."
"General Aulus, I remember that you are a 'natural' level protected by Ares. Even if we don't do anything, as long as you work hard, you should still be able to sense the flow of magic power that is slightly higher than yours.
Bar?"
After hearing Amy's words, Aulus closed his eyes in disbelief. After some hard work, he jumped up as if he was electrocuted: "There are two?"
"Yes, there are two." Amy chuckled softly, "Then look at the current battlefield. We only have one ship, and you have fifteen. But in terms of military strength... General Aulus
, if we unfortunately get into a fight, who do you think will win?"
"My fleet is more than the fifteen ships in front of me." Aulus glared at Amy and said, "You are very dangerous and must be eradicated here!"
Amy frowned: "General Aulus, I don't understand. From the situation of those ships in the past few days, you should also know that we are no longer hostile. You want to eliminate the pirates just for meritorious service, right? But...
You can't win easily this time. Secondly, your actions are tantamount to actively provoking the Khazar Khanate, which will only ruin your reputation in the country. Why do you insist on being at odds with us - ah, I understand. Wait a minute.
"
Amy laughed as if she had seen through everything, and then walked down the deck from the cabin. After a while, she walked back to the deck and said to Aulus: "General Aulus, I don't know anyone else."
What kind of benefits have I given you, but I don’t think it can exceed what the big man on the ship promised you."
Aulus pretended to be calm and said: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Amy deliberately drew a circle on the top of her head with her hand, and then pulled it off from the top of her head one stroke at a time: "General Aulus, the big shot on the ship lost a hat three years ago. Ah, of course she knows
Where is that hat, but I have never had the chance to get it. If I can't get it, it is the same as not having it. However, she knows that General Aulus has the ability to obtain this hat, so she wants to give it to you——"
Before Amy could finish her words, Aulus asked impatiently: "Where is that hat?"
"Don't worry, we are in a hurry to go to the island republic to do something this time. I hope the general can make it convenient." Amy said, "Of course, we can only pass through the Black Sea Strait on our return trip. By then, the adult on the ship will
How about I tell you the whereabouts of the hat?"
After thinking for a while, Aulus turned sideways.
"Let's go. In fact, I have long disliked the island republic."
