It has been more than a month since Diana, who has been arriving at the end of Diana, with eighteen captured ships. In the past, due to lack of funds, it was the only fleet that could only make up the number. Now it has become a new fleet of two full-subsidiaries, three additional reserve warships and two supply ships. And after renovation, the warship, which was larger than the original Flying Whale, has become a flagship that is no less than the royal warships of the Island Alliance.

For this reason, after rewarding gold and silver, the city lord Earl Pratt also submitted a relevant report to the kingdom and applied for commendation. Although it is not necessary to guess the content of the report, he would probably attribute most of the credit to his own name, but it doesn't matter, because the subsequent return of his old friend Humphreys brought even more amazing news.

Just thinking that he had been named count by the little boy, and in about a month, the official documents of the kingdom would arrive, Vales, who was full of energy, always felt that it was a bit unreal, but he understood that this was just an illusion that things were too beautiful. Because the situation of the king capital, who asked the Mercenary Guild to investigate, had already paid off, and everything was true. Lu Chen's identity as a grand duke was also public in the king capital. The only question was how they rushed from the king capital to Bryon in just a few days.

But due to the new Flying Whale and the strength of their people, Vales did not worry too much about this issue and adjusted his mood to continue doing his part. Of course, it is for Lu Chen, the new lord, and naturally it also includes assisting Humphrey and Max to establish a fleet. At the same time, this time, he once again learned about the strength of this little master in terms of money.

Through the relationship on the trade route, Humphreys purchased the forty large warships from the Island Alliance arrived ten days ago. With a large reward, he started construction overnight and disguised himself as armed merchant ships. Then at noon four days ago, he carried the first batch of goods that were worthless but could expand the trade route, and sailed with Mark.

Calculate the time and it will be almost a day before we can come back. Looking at the ten heavily armed large warships parked in the harbor, they distributed them to themselves in the name of donation. Vales was convinced by Lu Chen, the grand duke who had hidden his identity for some reason. In his heart, even if the information investigated by the Mercenary Guild was fake, it didn't matter; but at this moment, he was patrolling the port on a routine basis, he suddenly found that there were many small dots on the horizontal line.

"So fast? I was harassed by pirates all winter, so it's normal to lose daily necessities. Haha, it seems that they are all eager to make contributions." Somewhat doubted their speed, but Vales was still happy for everyone in his heart. After all, the fleet of thirty ships was not something that ordinary people or pirates could have. But as the small dots approached, his face began to change. Then, when the small boat fishing near the port returned quickly, he heard the alarm bell ringing on the lighthouse.

It is not something that has happened before for pirates to siege cities, but it is basically limited to villages and towns, because in addition to transport ships, the number of people that ordinary warships can carry is only about 400. Including the losses of attacking ports, most pirates only choose to seal the ports in frontal battles and force the ports to meet their conditions. There are few cases of a large fleet patronizing a certain port, especially in medium-sized cities like Bryon.

Then when Vales was shocked by a large group of approaching dots, the sentries on the lighthouse brought even worse news: the number of ships invading the fleet exceeded one hundred, and the masts were floating on the flags of the Alliance of Islands.

Vales, who had just established three fleets and was planning to establish a fixed cruise route to make Brion more prosperous, felt like his heart was hit hard by a hammer, and he was stunned on the spot without saying anything. Although Lu Chen heard that the bastards who had passed the Islands Alliance might have made such unwise moves of taking advantage of the situation, he didn't expect their movements to be so fast, and more importantly, their actions also mean that the war between Finesh and Kaistin had officially broken out.

After a full minute, Vales issued an order to hide in the Diana River and the whole city entered a state of combat, and sent people to ask for help from nearby towns to convey the news of the invasion of the Island Alliance; at the same time, it also raised the beacon of war to warn the merchant fleet and the First Fleet belonging to Anderes.

In the vast water blue that was beyond the sight, thirty large ships carrying deep-sea specialties were quickly sailing towards the largest island in the north of the Island Alliance. That was the temporary stop they decided before their return, but it was not for trade, because when they were about to sell the last batch of goods, they saw a large number of refugees. But while everyone was secretly celebrating Craig's success, a trading partner of very good relations quietly revealed to Humphreys the hint of not replying to Bryon for the time being.

His side was also using the idea of ​​the Island Alliance. Humphreys and Mark were of course particularly concerned about this. After indirectly attacking the old partner and sending people to inquire from multiple parties, they finally concluded that the Island Alliance had reached some kind of agreement with the eldest prince Angus and was ready to take action against Bryon.

"Mark, do you think we will win this time?" Standing at the bow of the boat, blew the still cold sea breeze, looking at the distance between the blue, Humphreys asked with great concern. Similarly, he also knew that the actions of the Island Alliance were a sign that the war between the Kingdom and the Empire had begun.

"I don't know... the Northern Empire, the Island Alliance, the Great Prince who lost power, and the unstable domestic situation may be the most difficult time for us. However, our Grand Duke is really an incalculable person, and I found that he did not take the war to heart, but was more concerned about the Curse Land. Although it was his fiefdom, there seemed to be other important things that he had to deal with first." Feeling the warmth of the sunshine, he knew that the general manager around him was asking about the kingdom, and Mark said on the contrary with some expectations. After all, this was a good opportunity to revitalize the family.

"...That's right, even the Anderes Mountains were conquered by him. This time it might be an opportunity to expand, haha~" Thinking of Lu Chen's strength and the temporary purpose of this trip, Humphreys was relieved a lot. As for what is more important than war, he ignored it. Moreover, in his opinion, the upcoming Wolf Cavalry Regiment, the New Flying Whale and the tamed powerful monster were worth more than a dozen legions.

Then, in the telescope that Lu Chen gave, which was not required to be magically employed, they saw the island that was taken away by Craig and didn't know what to do. But when they were all thinking about seeing the mission assigned by the powerful colleague on the island, the watchtower on the mainmast had a signal of "Discovering the Islands Alliance Fleet".
