Reggie couldn't bear to part with Spiked Island, the rice here, the castle here, and the girls in the castle. These girls would give Reggie wonderful performances every day, especially last night, they gave a song called
The dance that dominates the world brings Reggie an out-of-body joy.
But he has to leave here, because there is more than one new territory. Although the situation on Blackstone Island is much simpler than that on Spike Island, Diachto is a difficult guy. As Silio said, he identified Blackstone
There is treasure on the island, and it will take some effort to drive him away.
The logic doesn't make sense. The only way to deal with Diahto is to use force. Blackstone Island must be resolved quickly. The New Year is coming soon, and there are still many things to deal with. Reggie doesn't want to waste too much time with this old rival.
Bringing rice seeds, silkworm seedlings and mulberry leaves, two full shiploads of asphalt, and a crying Syrio and all the men in his family, Reggie's fleet was ready to set off.
Grace presented dried fish pickled by herself, and Reggie presented a toilet designed by himself.
The moment she saw the toilet, the angry Grace almost put it on Reggie's head: "What's the use of giving this to me? Don't you want to take me away?"
"I think, I really do," Reggie tickled the bridge of Grace's nose and said with a gentle smile, "I wish I could take you with me every moment, but you can't leave now. Spiked Island needs you.
The Pallas need you more."
"Stop saying such nice things! You are the same as them. You hate me, right? You also regard me as a shame, right?"
Reggie shook his head and shouted loudly in front of everyone: "I'm proud of you, Grace Vercelli. You are the hero of the Pallas people and my hero. Your people have nothing to do with me because of me."
And bleeding, this honor is always worthy of me and I am proud of you!"
In order to cater to the atmosphere deliberately created by Reggie, all the people seeing her off looked at Grace with admiration.
But Grace didn't buy it. She lowered her head and murmured to herself: "Who wants to be proud of you? They are just talking useless nonsense!"
Reggie whispered: "When you finish what you should do, I will wait for you in Broken Snow City."
"Why should I look for you?" Grace spat at Reggie and responded in the ancient Dongsang dialect, "Do you have the beauty to conquer the country, or do you have the unparalleled talent?"
"Both!" Reggie got on the boat and waved to Grace: "I'm waiting for you!"
The warship sailed smoothly and arrived at Blackstone Island in less than two days. Diachto, uncharacteristically, directly led the warship to confront Reggie at sea.
In the past few months, he had dug holes everywhere on Black Rock Island. Although he found nothing, he always believed that the treasure was in front of him.
He has five warships and a dozen small warships, which are all his assets. Judging from the number alone, he seems to have a slight advantage.
In this battle, he was determined to win the battle to the death, and he would never let Reggie take away his treasure.
But the two sides fought for half an hour, and Diachto chose to retreat tactically because he had already sunk two battleships by Reggie.
"The opponent's weapons are too powerful! We should retreat to the shore to defend, as the fortifications on the shore are stronger!"
Blackstone Island has no port, only a natural landing point. In order to defend his treasure, Diahto built a section of the wall near the landing point and set up a trebuchet.
"Concentrate your firepower to attack the enemy's warships!" Diakhto shouted, "Sink a warship and you will be rewarded with fifty gold coins!"
Maxwell whispered: "Sir, we can't afford that many gold coins."
Since becoming the lord of Blackstone Island, Diahto's life has been very miserable.
"What nonsense are you talking about, my Tsunami Knight!" Diakhto said, "We are almost finding the treasure! Is fifty gold coins worth mentioning?"
As soon as the words fell, cannons sounded, and a section of his city wall was blown down.
"Fight back immediately!" Diachto roared at the top of his lungs, "Fight back immediately!"
"Sir, please calm down, our trebuchets cannot hit warships that far away!"
The warship is more than 700 feet away from the shore. I am allowed to hit you, but you are not allowed to hit me. This is the battle rule set by Reggie for Diahto.
Reggie fired the cannonballs one after another according to the rhythm of slow rock. Seeing that there was not much left of the city wall, after careful consideration, Diachto decided to temporarily abandon the landing point and continue to retreat to the island.
After several hours of running away, Diachto finally got rid of Reggie's pursuit. Next, he had to consider his next strategy.
"Don't worry, my Tsunami Knight, Blackstone Island is very vast. We are familiar with everything here. They can't find us, but we can find them. At night, we will catch them all!"
Maxwell nodded and said: "I agree with your idea, my lord!"
"Where are they now?"
"Waiting for news from the sentry."
Two hours later, the sentry sent back the message: "Sir, they have occupied the water source."
"Which water source?"
"The poisonous one!"
"Hahahaha!" Diachto looked up to the sky and laughed until he burst into tears. He hugged Maxwell tightly.
"My Tsunami Knight, this is the will of the gods!"
"Yes, my lord!"
"They will die from the poisonous spring water, and they will never touch my treasure!"
"I am proud of you, my lord!"
…
Diahto dug a total of two water sources on Black Rock Island. One was slightly turbid fresh water that could be drunk after being boiled.
Another place is a very clear spring water, but the water is highly poisonous. People who are poisoned will experience violent vomiting and severe dizziness, until they lose consciousness in convulsions.
Black Rock Island is very vast. If Diahto started a guerrilla war on the island, Reggie would really have nothing to do with him.
So Reggie wanted to occupy the water source first, and then force Diachto to surrender. Unfortunately, the water source he occupied was poisonous.
Late at night, Diahuto led the soldiers to the water source. Reggie's camp was next to the spring, and there were still torches in the camp, which made Maxwell a little nervous.
"My lord, are you sure they are really poisoned?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Diachto said with a smile, "The poison of the spring water will not kill them immediately, but they will not survive for long."
"Why don't we just sit here and wait for them to die?"
"That would be too boring!" Diachto sneered, "I want Reggie Victor to bring his regrets to hell. I want him to kneel in front of me and beg me to forgive the crimes he committed!"
Maxwell led two hundred soldiers as the vanguard to the edge of the camp. Standing on the guard tower, Flash saw the enemy's movements, but he really couldn't guess the enemy's intentions.
If this is a sneak attack, it doesn't look very covert. If this is a blatant attack, it looks a bit indecent.
What exactly did they want to do? After thinking for a long time without an answer, Shansha didn't bother to think about it. He directly ordered the sentry to open fire.
Before Maxwell could figure out what was happening, a large number of soldiers beside him had fallen.
He wanted to call for support, but found that Diachto had already retreated with the remaining soldiers.
Diakhto was about to escape, but Reggie was awakened by the sound of gunfire. When he led the soldiers out of the camp, Diakhto had lost the chance to escape.
In less than an hour, Reggie wiped out all the enemy troops and captured Maxwell alive.
The injured Tsunami Knight stood in front of Reggie without fear. He straightened his chest and shouted to Reggie: "I will tell you everything I know. If you are an upright person, you should not hurt me."
!”
"I, that, won't..." Maxwell's shamelessness exceeded Reggie's imagination. Although his appearance was very different, his temperament was really like Syrio's brother.
"Okay, I won't hurt you," Reggie smiled, "but you have to answer my questions honestly."
"Do you want to know the whereabouts of Viscount Mitocton? I know a few of his destinations, but I'm not sure where he will flee to."
Reggie said: "I don't need to know such complicated things. What I want to know is, besides this spring, are there other water sources on the island?"
Tsunami Knight shook his head and said: "This is the only water source on the island."
Reggie nodded and said: "Very good, Yinge, set up a pyre and burn this idiot to death!"
