The Amber Sword: Act 133 The Breeze of the Outer Harbor I
After passing through the storm, the temperament of the sublime inland sea became abnormally mild. One week later, exactly at noon on the eighth day, in the voice of the clerk, a black line appeared on the horizon of the sea and sky. , The mountains of Correct Metz. The seafarers re-measured the position of the fleet and confirmed that it was in the waters near Fattan. In fact, the already on the sea level could see the Empire patrol ship with red sails.
This empire patrol ship Correct comes from the nearby port of Fattan. The sailors on the ship saw the huge fleet pierced from the clouds in the afternoon sunlight, and were frightened. , Ask who is coming.
"They usually approached with Whispering Wind spell for enquiries, and sometimes used semaphores. They should now be at the warning port." Yvram stood beside the bow of the ship, with a muffled voice explained.
Brando nodded and responded lightly: "Tell them our identity."
...
"Did you see clearly, what did they say?" The captain of the empire patrol ship Hellman turned back and asked the one's own deputy. The drunk old man had already awakened half with wine. He lost the wine bottle and took over brass The telescope staggered and looked at the strange fleet opposite.
"They said ... they are a fleet of Buga people." The chief mate replied tremblingly.
"What, Buga! What are they doing here! Are you kidding me?"
"Sir, I will never make a mistake unless they mistype the banner."
"What do you think?" Heilman touched his beard and chin, "This is the fleet of Buga people?"
The chief mate stared at the silvery sea-scale sails on the clouds, with a complex look, but nodded honestly to --'s Correct unique fleet in the world, the fleet of the Silver City-state.
...
The nominal owner of Fatham Port, Thane Ludwig Metz Baron appeared a little uneasy in the one's own office today. Just a quarter of an hour later, his men finally trembled to understand that this one suddenly appeared in The origin of the fleet in front of his house: It is actually a fleet of Buga people, and I heard that they also encountered the Gorgon Ravine air force south of Leeuwin port. I have played once, so it seems that these Buga people can be regarded as allies of the Empire, but wizards rarely intervenes in the wars of the world. Even the previous Holy War they looked at with cold eyes. Metz Baron did not understand why the other party suddenly turned It ’s good, but the other party brought at least the news south of Evergreen Aisle, and those noble refugees. This is impossible to do fake. His deputy is said to have seen Orkens Count and several other top figures in the refugees. With these people testifying, Metz Baron did not think the other party would be cheating.
However, seeing the huge fleet moored into the port, Ludwig Metz Baron is unavoidably somewhat worried, but he is not worried about others. It is how long these wizards will stay here. It is not a simple matter to supply the logistics of such a large fleet. Even if the other party can be self-sufficient, so many warships will rush into the port at once. The port has an impact, let alone say. The berth alone is less than half of what it is, these are all money.
On the other hand, Metz Baron, as the master of a city, can also be regarded as respected in the empire, but the other party is Silver Lineage after all. already has surpassed all the people in the world. The empire has always centered itself on the center of civilization. , But this center is usually limited to Holy Cathedral of Fire areas. Even Faanzan and Saers may not be sold, let alone elsewhere. Nowadays, most people respect civilization and order, and it is well known that most of the civilizations of this era are inherited from the previous era, and many have been lost in the flames of war, not to mention those valuable ancient documents stored in Tower of Babel before War of the Twilight. In this regard, Silver Lineage has an innate advantage over the civilization of Black Iron, not to mention Magesmiths, which was originally boasting of 'knowledge caretaker'. Therefore, in the eyes of the world in this era, the proud and isolated Buga is simply synonymous with glory and civilization. It is born to be superior, in the mortal noble. It is very much admired the culture of the silver city-state, especially in the Great Emperor countries, almost to a sickly arty degree.
Although Ludwig Metz Baron is still pragmatic and not a **** Buga admirer, as a member of the high-level noble circle, it will inevitably be affected. When I think about it, I really want to be with those Wearing white robes on the clouds and politely dealing with Magesmiths, for a moment also had some uneasiness like Ye Gong in his heart.
If Brando knows an excuse they just made up, let a battle-hardened empire noble develop such a mentality, and I don't know if it will laugh off big teeth. But at least he is determined not to believe in any polite Magesmith. When he was a player, he had spent a long time in a period of time in the Silver City State. There are generally two types of -- in the wizard he sees. The science madman is almost the same, while the former mostly comes from the silver Council, and the latter mostly comes from the silver society.
At this moment, Lord Baron is thinking about what kind of attitude will be used to meet these noble guests, already sounded a rumbling footsteps on the outside corridor, he raises head, the office door suddenly squeak suddenly opened. This change caused Ludwig Metz Baron to frown slightly, thinking that these Yankees really did not know how to be polite, and even pushed straight through the door without waiting for the pass. He didn't think that anyone who came in outside would be Buga. When he wanted to come to Silver Lineage, he should be much more civilized than the inhabitants on the ground. He would definitely not do such a rude thing.
As soon as the door was opened, Ludwig Metz Baron did not see Buga wizard in silver robes, but what made his eyes widened was that he saw a group of armour, blue shirts, Soldiers with long halberds rushed in. Of course, these soldiers would not be his subordinates, because he already watched these soldiers come straight to him, pointing the spear at him left and right.
"You are ..."
Ludwig Metz Baron froze, and finally found out the origin of this military uniform from the deepest part of his mind. After several changes in his face, he finally blurted out:
"Aouinian?"
...
Correct Aouinian.
Unfortunately Ludwig Metz Baron Wake up a bit late, in fact this also Correct Brando Hope to achieve the purpose, he used Buga The fleet of people as a cover, Correct Hope to relax the port of Fattan, fortunately, this fleet itself is Buga Built by one hand, the battleship itself is also used wizards Consistent style, plus Orkens Count and the others testify. Kirrlutzian Even if you want to be suspicious, it can be quite difficult.
As expected, the development of the fleet went into the port without any obstacles. After the warships arrived at the port, the soldiers on the warships swarmed to disarm the weapons in the hands of the Kirrlutzian port guards. Those guys couldn't believe how the high Buga wizard suddenly turned their hands on them, after all, in their opinion. Silver Lineage doesn't care about what happens in the world at all. Secular power seems to them to pass away. The tradition of thousands of years has almost formed an inertia, and this inertia has made Brando a huge cheap.
He went all the way to command Ciel, O'Neill, Marjorie, and Efram and the others to "take over" the entire port, and then personally led a team of people to kill the castle where Ludwig Metz Baron was located. Resistance to the slightest. Even the castle guards personally opened the door for them, and when they were confiscated under the pressure of real swords and real guns, they asked with a blank expression what these Aouinians wanted to do.
But when these people finally realized that they were not facing Buga people, but Aouinian, they all showed a similar look to Ludwig Metz himself. First of all, they were shocked and unbelievable. Then still shocked and unbelievable.
For these people. Brando didn't have time to answer their doubts for a while, and he swung all his hands into the dungeon below the castle. In this way, with almost no trouble, he and his fleet took over the port.
Of course, this is only temporary. After all, he is only a outsider, and he wants to rule such a huge city. The point of Aouinian that is close to his hand is absolutely not enough, because he can only wipe out the upper-level officials at most. As for those lower-level officials, he has neither the time nor the ability to catch them all, not to mention the ability After he put all these people in the dungeon. Who will run the city for him?
It takes a little bit of manpower to get a huge port up and running.
Fortunately, he has not only Aouinian, but also a considerable number of Kirrlutz noble. These people are all heads and faces in the empire. With these people in his hands, he could justly take over the city under the pretext of military control. Who is to say that the empire is facing internal and external problems? The empire of Evergreen Aisle and the Wind Elf on the east are inextricably linked, and the Gorgon Ravine army appears suddenly on the south, not to mention that the Leonin of Torquine finally captured the Anzeluta fortress group. It can be said that at this time the situation in the southern empire already was sinking deep, and even the Mez area was exposed to the front of soldiers.
At this time, they are nominally an ally of the empire, --, a fleet of Buga people. After reaching a consensus with nobles in the empire, they will rest here and help them against the army of Gorgon Ravine people. Very weird. At this time, letting the southern empire noble contact and order those middle-level officials will not allow the Kirrlutzian in the port to create the illusion of being "occupied", making them feel as if the port is still under the control of the empire, and this Buga The Human Fleet is nothing more than a temporary protective talisman forget it/that's all.
Of course, to do all this, you must reach a consensus with these people, Orkens Count.
Brando didn't think about how to deal with these fleeing noble. After all, 'taking over' a port from an imperial city main-hand. This sounds like a rebellion. For these fleeing noble, it may not be. Would like to stand on the same boat with him. But he did not expect that an imperial merchant ship they had captured on the route helped him a lot.
At that time, he originally ordered the capture of the merchant ship, fearing that the other party would leak the news that such a huge fleet appeared in the hinterland of the empire. However, when they boarded the ship, he found that the merchant ship's bilge was full from the empire's heart. Refugees who fled.
These refugees brought them unimaginable news --
The civil war broke out.
On the week they sailed on the sublime inner sea, exactly the day after they left Leeuwin, earth-shaking changes took place in Kirrlutz Empire. Her Majesty suddenly had an army that had never appeared before. This army consisted of Senian and Miirna. She directly deprived Vala of his power as Holy Cathedral of Fire Pope and announced the reformation. A religious reform initiated by a secular monarch is a big joke. At immediately, the church in the empire was divided into two factions of as rivers Jing and Wei separate clearly. The faculty and faculty flags clearly stood by Her Majesty's side, and the local loyalty to Vala raised the banner of resistance immediately after a short period of chaos.
In short, it is that the empire has suddenly become a mess. This is not just a matter of Holy Cathedral of Fire. This huge change of interest has touched everyone's heart. Mantle Bay and nobles really responded to the call of The Silver Queen in immediately. But the North's nobles obviously cannot accept this fact. In fact, at this time, the two sides already had a confrontation in the east of Metz. It was surprising that the traditional military nobles was defeated and suffered a big loss. Brando for a moment could not learn more from these refugees. Several Thane coalition forces retreated in the direction of Ludwig after losing.
But these are not the points. A real blockbuster is:
Miirna is back.
These Lost races from the Dragon of Darkness era have finally revived.
When this news was heard, the supporters of Her Majesty, including Orkens Count, could not believe it in immediately, and then doubted, but after repeated confirmation, they fell into silence one by one. After all, this is still a world dominated by the War of the Holy Saints post-war order, no matter how they leave the waves and betrayal. I dare not deny the justice of Four Sages, which is the foundation of Black Iron races and sage nobles. Their for a moment ca n’t figure out what is going on with Her Majesty, is she crazy? How dare she?
But after the silence, Brando understood that the one's own opportunity was coming, and rushed to instill the one's own plan -- into these impertinent empires nobles while the environment was unknown, it is better to stand on your own. Then choose what to do next. Probably under such a huge change, such a small problem of 'taking over' a port is not in the hearts of these fleeing nobles. Besides, Orkens Count are not stupid, of course, they understand that the enemies are surrounded by the surroundings, and the situation is unknown What is the best choice under the circumstances.
They invariably chose to be silent about what Brando took over the port.
But Brando actually understands that it chooses to be silent at this time. In fact, it is supported.
With the affairs in the port settled and every piece of work assigned, Brando stood in the original office of Ludwig Metz Baron and saw through the arched windows that nothing happened outside the port of Fatham Too much commotion. Everything returned to systematic, and finally could not help but sighed in relief. This time wizards of Buga gave him a big problem, but now he has finally taken the most difficult first step. Fortunately, Thurman did not lie to him. Her Majesty the Queen did act one step first. In this way, There are more options left for him.
At least the empire is no longer an iron plate.
As for pulling tiger skin to make a banner, Brando thought that Buga's wizards would definitely not mind this little thing with himself. He couldn't help but think maliciously that these **** guys wanted to stay away from things. I just couldn't let them do it. So that these self-righteous wizardss understand that they need to pay a price for themselves.
He knocked on the table, just to see Ciel pushing in the door from the outside.
The young wizard attendant looked at one's own Lord Thane with a strange look, and said, "Sir, the weather is good today, there are some unexpected gains in the port."
"Stop talking nonsense," Brando faced a slap, and then hesitated a little: "Unexpected harvest?"
"Well, it's a big fish ... Oh no, it should be a little mermaid."
What a mess, mermaid? I still Siren yet. Brando frowned, and just about to speak, Ciel already knew what he was going to say, and quickly interrupted him with a smile: "I didn't say anything Lord Thane, you just have to take a look."

The gap light that penetrates into the darkness is the only connection between this huge mobile cage and the outside world. It comes from the air holes above. This beam of light is tilted and sprinkled in a dark environment and falls not far from Fina. On the floor, a round light spots is formed. She wears cold shackles on her hands and feet. The shackles are not heavy, but there are magic formation inlaid which can isolate magical power, turning her magical power into a bubble.
She calculates day and night based on the change of light spots's position and the food obtained. Since being put in this cage, already has passed for almost a week, and then counts the day she was detained in Wagner City, almost half a month. Passed.
When she was put in this cage, she was so angry that she could not help killing the **** villain of Rodney. But as the day passed, she became a little numb. After being angry, she was deeply disturbed. And fear; but Fina is not afraid of one's own's fate. After all, she is Azure Sword Saint Veronica's student, and she will not kneel to the enemy for mercy, but she is worried that the one's own family, father, and sister will suffer unexpectedly. I don't know who is behind Floral Leaf Shire make a move, then she is a real idiot noble Young Lady, without any political IQ.
