Chapter 248 Grand Commander Erwin de Medici(2/2)
Lawrence uttered three words in sequence, and then explained directly to everyone's puzzled eyes:
"The era when the Knights were content in Malta is over. A ferocious falcon has set its sights on this piece of fat."
Captain Erwin raised his eyebrows and had a bad feeling in his heart, but he could only signal Lawrence to continue.
Seeing this, Lawrence stopped trying to be mysterious and leaned on the table with his chin in his hands. His eyes swept over the senior knights present like a sword, and he declared directly to everyone:
"The Royal Navy of Great Britain will invade the island of Malta early next month."
As soon as the words fell, Lawrence's echo became the only sound in the main hall.
No one in the Knights realized what these words meant in one sentence. Maybe they just realized it but didn't want to believe it, or believed it but didn't want to face it.
Immediately afterwards, the main hall, which had been dull and solemn just now, suddenly erupted into a panic. The senior members of the Knights looked around and asked the people around them, wondering whether Lawrence's words were true or false.
"quiet!"
Captain Erwin, who has always been calm, also maintained his usual calmness at this time. Although his heart was also turbulent like everyone else, on the surface, this grand leader still behaved calmly.
He quickly stabilized everyone's mood.
"Your Majesty Bonaparte, we must not speak in vain, just as we must not use our Lord's name in vain."
Captain Erwin exhaled a long breath and said slightly tiredly:
"The British Royal Navy is going to attack the island of Malta? This kind of atrocity can only be done by infidels, how can it come from a Christian brother?"
Just like the reaction of Major Serurier and Grosso when they heard the news that day, Captain Erwin did not believe that the Royal Navy would launch an attack on the Knights Hospitaller, which was famous for its charity and relief work.
The senior executives present also realized this truth, and their eyes looking at Lawrence were full of suspicion and suspicion.
"Is this young governor going to use a false message to plot something against the island of Malta?"
