The battle to ambush Rodney's ship ended faster than expected.
Even the backup plans that Brando and his team had discussed and arranged were of no use at all. When the Valhalla fleet disguised as an imperial patrol ship opened fire, Rodney thought there was something wrong.
Misunderstanding, he quickly ordered to stop the ship and wait for Brando's subordinates to come up and explain. As a result, when the three battleships from Valhalla got close enough, he finally discovered the abnormality. Unfortunately, it was too late by this time. Brando's battleship
The commander directly ordered the warship to come up and start a boarding battle, and the sailors swarmed up. Although the knights from the White Legion around Rodney were still ready to resist, the battlefield they were good at was not above sea and air after all, let alone Bran.
There were also Valkyries and Gray Sword Masters guarding the formation. It only took less than a quarter of an hour for the sailors to storm into the bottom cabin, forcing Rodney and the remaining followers around him to surrender.
Then three warships, together with this ship, docked at the military anchorage near Port Fatan. Brando was notified immediately and took Charles and his party aboard. When boarding the ship, there were traces of fighting on the deck.
It has been cleaned up long ago, the scattered corpses have been removed, and the dirty blood has been washed away. Rows of sailors wearing Valhalla naval uniforms stand on both sides of the ship. The traces of previous battles can clearly be seen from their bodies.
However, the eyes of these young people were mostly filled with excitement. Behind them, several prisoners were tied up like rice dumplings and thrown aside. However, Rodney himself was not harmed in any way and was standing next to the cabin door leisurely.
Brünnhilde, the leader of the Valkyries, was personally responsible for monitoring him. Brünnhilde was dressed in military uniform as always today. Her face remained cold and serious, and she looked serious in front of outsiders. But her light blue color
There was a bright flame burning in his sea-colored eyes, and he nodded slightly until he saw Brando.
The leader of the Valkyrie, who was sung in mythology, personally took care of him. For this reason alone, Rodney's life was worth it.
But at this moment, he obviously didn't think so. He didn't want to die, so he looked particularly frightened. He had witnessed the entire battle with his own eyes. He led 32 great knight captains. These knight captains all came from Bai Zhi
Each of the elites of the legion has at least the strength above the lower reaches of gold, but the elites among these elites have no ability to resist in front of the three female warriors riding flaming horses. To use the most euphemistic words to describe
, the previous battle situation was also one-sided, with no luck at all. Especially the female war goddess beside him. She even left a huge hole in the battleship with one shot. Are you kidding? This is a level 2
Battleship, although he has no ability, he is very discerning. It can be seen at a glance that these Valkyries have at least mastered the power of the elements. And they are not the kind of dabblers who use means to forcibly improve from the golden peak to the touch element, but the genuine ones.
The strong men who control the power of the elements, the Templars, may even be more than that.
How could three elemental powerhouses suddenly appear in such a place, especially since they were wearing standard equipment and seemed to belong to some mysterious force. Rodney, the Fire Warhorse they were sitting on, did not recognize them either, but
It must be able to withstand elemental battles. The extraordinary nature of this kind of mount is obvious. When he thinks that such mounts can appear in batches, he can't help but break into a cold sweat. What force is there around here that has such a strong strength? Apart from the Holy Spirit,
Outside the temple, he really couldn't imagine that the largest lord in East Metz is Duke Huaye, but Duke Huaye cannot have such strength. Is it really a temple? Rodney knows that in addition to the priests, Yan
The highest knight-type weapon in the temple is the Flame Family Knights, but there are no women among the Flame Family Knights. Besides, he saw that these people were obviously foreigners, but he didn't connect them with the small country to the south for a while.
The most suspicious people are actually the Bugans.
Only the Buga people will appear at this time and stand opposite to Her Majesty the Queen.
Rodney's wild thoughts continued until he saw a person appear on the deck. When he saw that person, his eyes widened in disbelief, his face became pale, and he was sweating profusely.
Beads oozed from his forehead, and his legs trembled involuntarily, as if he would collapse to the ground at any time. If Brünnhilde hadn't supported him from behind, this possibility might have become a reality.
, which shows how scared this guy was.
Within the empire, if there is such a person who can have such an influence among the nobles, then there is no doubt that this person can only have one title - Gray Sword Saint, which is Mei who followed Brando to the deck at this moment.
Pfister. As for this legendary sword master, his appearance is well-known in the empire, and there is no need to explain it at all, because it is impossible for anyone to not know him, even among civilians, let alone among nobles.
Brando saw Rodney's face and thought of the influence Mephisto had on the southern nobles of the empire. He couldn't help but look at his cheap swordsmanship teacher curiously, thinking that this was so awesome.
How can you be so frightened when you see someone you have never met before? People who don’t know may think that you have done something in the empire that is outrageous to both humans and gods. But it’s strange to say that.
, in his memory, the Gray Sword Master only made a big fuss twice in the empire. Judging from the records, it didn't seem to be a big deal. He didn't know why these people were so afraid. They were too worried.
, or there is another hidden secret.
Mephisto cast a disdainful glance at his student, not bothering to answer such a question at all. Although he and the empire hated the country's subjugation, they were not willing to waste time on a villain like Rodney.
Of course he knew Brando's purpose of asking him to come with him, and now this guy's purpose has been achieved. He snorted from his nose, held the sword with one hand and walked to the other side of the deck, looking out at the sea outside the port.
It was an empty scene, simply out of sight and out of mind.
The young people from Valhalla on the deck looked at him with admiration.
Brando was a little speechless, knowing that his teacher's personality was different from ordinary people. He looked at Rodney and frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't like this guy at all - no matter because of this guy's history
What he is doing is still what he is doing now - not to mention that in the previous battle, his men were also damaged. After all, they were more than thirty knight commanders from the lower reaches of the gold industry, and what kind of strength are the young men under him? Although they
It was trained by the Buga people, but the full training time would not exceed half a year. Even with extraordinary talent and the assistance of mass-produced secondary dragon blood potions, it would only take half a year to reach the peak of Black Iron's strength.
No matter how great it is, even if there are super powerful Valkyries holding the battle, casualties are inevitable.
And these casualties were unnecessary. The best young people in the kingdom should have had a bright future, but they were bleeding and buried in a foreign country for no reason. All because of the guy in front of him who caused trouble for him. When he thinks of this
, he couldn't help but get angry and wanted to order this guy to be thrown into the sea. But fortunately, Brando hadn't lost his mind yet. He knew that the guy in front of him was at least Veronica's younger brother. And now
Although he serves the Silver Queen, at least he has not betrayed the empire and fallen into the arms of Madara. He has not nominally broken away from the Erichko family. More importantly, he wants to squeeze some residual value out of this guy.
Thinking of this, his eyes directly passed over this guy and fell on Marjorie behind him. This young petty officer from the Royal Navy of Yanilasu volunteered to be responsible for participating in this ambush, considering that among all his subordinates,
Only this sergeant had the most experience, and the current operation could not afford to fail, so he agreed to the other party's request and gave him three ships for him to take command of. Fortunately, the latter did not disappoint him and completed the mission.
Very beautiful.
Marjorie put her hand on her chest, saluted Brando with the etiquette of a junior to a superior in the navy, and replied: "My lord, with the blessing of the gods, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my destiny."
Brando nodded and smiled: "Well done."
This simple sentence actually made Marjorie feel a little excited, but he immediately realized that he was not in the Royal Navy, and the other party was not his immediate superior. He couldn't help being slightly startled, as if he didn't know when.
At first, the members of their envoys became somewhat familiar with the tone of the commander's orders. However, he was a naval officer after all, and obedience to discipline and orders had long been his nature. This thought only flashed through his mind.
Didn't take it seriously.
On the other hand, the Duke's daughter Oni, who was following Brando, was keenly aware of the difference in tone between the two. She glanced at Marjorie and Brando with a somewhat complicated expression.
Brando glanced at the dark hatch behind Rodney again, and cast a questioning look at Marjorie.
The young naval officer understood the situation and quickly replied: "Lord, the prison car is inside. Following your instructions, I didn't let anyone get close to that cabin."
Brando nodded with satisfaction. It was at the cusp of the storm right now. He didn't want more people to know Faina's identity. Some things were far better left in the dark than in the open. What's more, he knew that with that daughter
With the young lady's temperament, she probably didn't want too many people to see her in desolation. When he thought of the high-ranking young lady he met in the Ring of Trade Winds, he felt quite complicated, thinking that this was probably the so-called
Such a twist of fate, who would have thought that their second meeting would be under such circumstances.
…
In the dark cell, Faina huddled in a corner shivering, cold shackles locked on the Duke's daughter's right ankle, connected to a heavy chain, she still didn't know what happened outside, but
Before, she clearly heard the roar of artillery fire, the sound of fighting, and the violent vibration of the ship's hull. These sounds were extremely noisy at first, reached their peak at a certain time, and then gradually disappeared, and the entire ship became completely silent.
At first, she could occasionally hear the sound of one or two kicks on the door, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, sounds of begging for mercy and sounds like wild beasts wailing, but soon even these sounds disappeared. At first, she could still feel the floor of the ship.
It swayed slightly, but then the entire ship stopped, as if it had fallen into a world of complete silence.
Faina didn't know that this was because the ship had docked again. She only knew that the terrible roar of artillery fire at first scared her so much that she held her head and screamed. She wished that this hell-like experience could be over as soon as possible, but
After everything calmed down, she missed the previous noise very much. The boundless silence made her feel as if her heart had been frozen. She didn't know what was happening outside. It seemed like she was trapped in a dark space outside.
In the huge unknown, this hesitation and uneasiness about the future made the Duke's daughter feel as if there was a giant beast lurking in the darkness ahead, waiting for her to bump into it head-on.
She heard her heart beating powerfully in the darkness, as if it was the only sound in the world. Fear made her lean against the cold wall, and she tried to call out a few times.
She screamed several times, trying to attract the attention of the guards outside the iron prison, but due to hunger and cold, her voice was as weak as a helpless lamb and could not be heard outside the iron prison.
The huge uneasiness finally made her cry softly.
It was at this time that a prolonged sound of metal friction seemed to pierce into the dark world. The young lady jumped up from the ground as if she had been pricked by a needle. There were still some tears on her face, but
She stared around in horror. The sound came vaguely from outside the hatch. A second sound soon came. Faina felt that all the hairs on her body stood on end. When she listened carefully, she finally heard
It became clear that it was the sound of someone opening the lower hatch. Although she was a young lady, she was not ignorant. She knew that in such a battleship, only the hatch of the power room was made of metal, which was far away from the bottom cabin where she was.
It's not far away either.
somebody is coming?
Or something else?
The unknown beast seemed to be forcing itself into her, and she felt her little heart beating faster than expected. Soon she heard a series of footsteps, which were not far away from the cage.
It stopped outside, and then she heard the conversation of men. Was it a pirate? Faina had this idea immediately because she knew that there was no aerospace ship in her father's territory, and there was no way to save her.
We will wait until the ship leaves the port, but who will fight the Imperial Navy in the Sublime Inland Sea? It can only be pirates.
She knew that those pirates probably won. Although she didn't know who those pirates were and could actually defeat the knights around Rodney, she had heard stories about those pirates since she was a child. She knew what would happen if she fell into the hands of those pirates.
What will happen, especially for a girl like her.
Faina's face turned pale. She wished that time would freeze at this moment and never move forward again, or that those rude guys would never notice this prison car. Unfortunately, it backfired. She soon heard the door of the prison door.
There was an opening sound, a squeaking sound that was heartbreaking, and a bright light shot from outside the prison door. Faina almost immediately lowered her head. She huddled helplessly in the corner, but her heart was at a loss.
She was almost completely desperate, and for her this was the worst possible outcome.
But there is only a thin line between hell and heaven.
She heard a voice ask:
"Faina?"
That voice was so sweet, like the sound of nature. This rich young lady could swear to God that she had never thought for a moment in her life that that hateful voice would have such a pleasant sound, so much so that she almost had a seizure.
She thought she was hallucinating. She trembled and raised her head in disbelief. The light seeping into the darkness made her beautiful pupils shrink in circles. The blond hair that should have been dazzling and beautiful now looked a bit messy.
Next, his face was filled with an illusion of surprise and ecstasy.
She saw that face that was absolutely impossible to appear, but now it was so real in front of her that it couldn't be more real.
