It was already dark outside, but I was still thinking under the lighthouse, holding a pen for a long time, not knowing how to fall, and finally sighed, or began to write.

“Dear Sir Ferdinand, It's been a long time since I've known if Iwo Mountain City has gone smoothly… After more than 300 years of lost a great deal of heritage and secrets in the war, the Royal Knights of Lan are probably not even third class today, perhaps some of our ancestors are too unqualified. I have reached an agreement with this descendant of Lan who will provide some 'instructors' to guide the rookies. ”

“After thinking about it, it's the only way to get rid of you. Please take the Ferdi Grand Sword Saint, Lucas... the young knights are already aware, for the prestigious ancestral spirits, the identity of the dead should not be taken too seriously, just be careful on the way. ”

After all, I wrote a letter to the elders. This letter took a lot of effort. In fact, it was very simple. I transferred a group of instructors from the Red Hound to the Principality of Donglan. But if I hadn't invited you personally, old Ferdinand, who was guilty of his hometown, would never step on that ice field again.

But even if he had become a bone knight, Old Ferdinand was still the best old general to train new recruits, and perhaps, in addition to his tactics, he could teach something more important, such as the experience of a hundred wars, such as tactics and unyielding will, such as the soul that the flag represented.

“… look forward to the young knights assuming the glory and responsibility left by their predecessors as the drums of war sound again. You must do this, and I sincerely look forward to seeing you again in the snow and ice. ”

The other one is simple, so you don't have to think about the wording at all, just say it.

“Dong Lan has already enacted the faith of the god of law in the state religion, you can't say in such a contraction, where there is a need for a pope, a whole system of justice, a complete Church of the True God… this is an opportunity, once successful, the spread of the faith of the law will save decades or even centuries, it is a huge bet worth wagering, typing out the banner of the True God, I don't believe that anyone dares to stop you from going to Dong Lan. ”

In the name of the Church of the True God of the Law, a lot of the strength in my hand can really rise to the stage, and in a sense, after this big bet, when I pressed down the weights on my hands one by one, I was a total breathing fate with the Duchy of Dong Lan.

The affairs of the State Church came much earlier than expected, which is in a sense both an opportunity and a challenge. If Dong Lan ever flew away, the Law Church would rise with the water, and if Dong Lan were to destroy the country... Well, we can still go back underground.

Both letters were sealed with beeswax. After a moment of reflection, Adam, who didn't know where he was now, was given another one. When everything was done, the last letter, which he really didn't want to write, had to be written, had to be put on the table.

“Dasos, it looks like you and your country are in big trouble, and if this is not handled properly, I'm afraid the Orlando Empire will become history. Perhaps, you think I'm a screamer, but these are to start with a group of fishermen..."

Indeed, I had no idea that the attack would eventually involve so much conspiracy and trouble, starting when I came back during the day.

---------

At that time, wearing a borrowed cape, I tried to ignore the smiling, non-smiling eyes of the women across the street, and I focused my attention on the unknown Sea Nation.

The Sea Nation is not a separate race; it is the collective name of underwater intelligent organisms such as fishermen, mermaids, shrimp people and sea giants, most of whom live around the long coastline of the Ash continent. These underwater organisms are inseparable from the sea water and exist in tribal and underwater kingdoms.

The greater the pressure of the deep sea, the more powerful the sea monsters are, the weaker are not able to survive in the deep sea, and the living space of the sea is not unlimited.

Sporadic tribes of fishermen, many along the coastline, but not too long away from the water, pose limited threats to terrestrial life, or even less than an invasion by a neighbouring country, but, owing to the strong aggressiveness of many seafarers, they are in essentially natural hostile relations with countries on the continent.

Therefore, even if I encounter the Red Dragon in the river, I will feel understandable, but when I encounter the obviously composed Sea Nation, it is amazing.

As the capital of the Orlando Empire, Kagsi City is not unprotected, even if it only looks at the river, and it is completely impossible to imagine the existence of a tribe of fishermen in the river's waters.

There may be amphibians like fishermen who can survive in both freshwater and sea water, but a powerful tribe of fishermen who can harbor the sharks is absolutely impossible to live in river water. After all, the sharks are all marine creatures, and sooner or later they die in river water.

In other words, most of these fishermen went the other way along the entrance to the river city.

It's not easy. The Orlando Empire has a fleet of cities along the river. So many cities haven't been spotted? To let the fish come directly to the hinterland? Why are they here with so much energy and so much risk? Is it just to take a look at the city and visit the Successor Dictionary?

When my doubts didn't last long...

“Um, sharks and whale bones, fish spikes, harpoons? Their fins weren't white, well, that was a white whale tribe fisherman, and since you met them underwater and they attacked you, they were supposed to come to loot the city. ”

Shortly after I got home, I remembered that Trixie the Sea Demon was also a Sea Nation. It was said that the Sea Demon was still very high in the Sea Nation. She might know something, so I sent someone to invite her. As a result, just a few words, the other side dropped a heavy bomb directly.

“Robbing this city? Robbing the capital of the Oran Empire? Is that tribe crazy? ”

“They are not crazy. Throughout the South Bay Area of the Black Sea, the white whale tribes are the top three super tribes, the fishermen are only their first troops, based on the strength and weakness of the prey, and then the Sea Serpents, Naga and Sea Giants will come. Maybe there are mermaids and sea monsters. ”

“But there is no way to attack the city, which is tantamount to offending the whole empire. They are not afraid to be surrounded by fleets. ”

“Oh, you have no idea who the seafarers are. For the seafarers, you never have to worry about offending anyone. The Baiwhale tribe is a famous game hunting tribe and a mercenary tribe that accepts employment. The harvest is enough to just walk away. Is it possible that the terrestrial race still catches up? Besides, you don't think they're guided directly to the city? ”

Just to think about it, I smell the conspiracy.

No sign of the fleet along the way? I'm afraid someone is controlling the fleet pretending not to see it, or simply letting the seafarers get underneath a normal merchant ship.

As for purpose? It is all the more obvious that if on the same day of the new king's succession ceremony, the country was attacked by foreigners, I'm afraid Dasos, the emperor's throne, would be shaken.

Trixie said in disdain.

“The fat man was part of the plan, and since he was so scared of you, you could ask. ”

“Piece of shit? He was also involved. ”

“Well, I'm the connector from the White Whale tribe, but he keeps haunting me. It's disgusting. So I put a charming curse on him, and he did something stupid and became a eunuch, but oddly enough, he seemed to recover. ”

Well, everyone's eyes dropped, and Tracy in front of her didn't even say she was a pirate of the Sea Nation, and the uncharted task at the time was also relevant to her.

“But the plan seemed to fail, and I took the opportunity to leave the White Whale tribe. ”

“Failure? Haven't we all succeeded? ”

“Another group of people I met were suddenly killed, and their nests were burned. Without the guidance of the human side, the Baiwhale tribe would never have come to the city from the watercourse, and they would not care why I failed, and if I returned to the tribe as a loser, I would only be a spice on the chief's afternoon tea. ”

Covering my forehead, I tacitly guessed what had happened.

“By the way, those contacts are wearing rings with stars and eye patterns. ”

A lot of clues are in front of me, a little bit, and I know exactly what's going on.

Obviously, just as Dasos was guarding against the astrological tower that took his place, it was also clear that the astrological tower was not entirely on Dasos' side, and that they colluded with the White Whale tribe and the nobles who opposed Dasos, placing bets on both sides.

And if Dasos cooperated with them, perhaps the attack would not have happened, but obviously, after being wanted by all, the rest of the party in the Astronomy Tower was going to break a fish net with Dasos.

“Oh, those people dare let the white whale tribe attack the shoreline. But when the adult woke up, the sea tribe was at least three times stronger than before. When the waves really hit, they didn't stop the waves from breaking through. When the white whale's flood broke away, how many more people could survive. ”

“Aeros? ”

When he heard the name, Tracy was stunned, then nodded silently.

“The seas are no longer seas of the past, and under the will of the adult and storm queen, all seas yearn for the blood and soul of the creatures on the ground, which is what they call upon to please their superiors. And offshore, guided by great presence, the various sectors are uniting, and I'm afraid war is inevitable. ”

Storm Queen is the guardian god of the Sea Nation, but is a member of the evil god of chaos. Obviously, driven by the god of the ancient water elements, under the call of Jihad, after years of fighting with the surface creatures, the Sea Nation has emerged from its relatively neutral identity and has begun to favour chaos.

And once this attack really begins, no, in the light of the situation, the attack by the Baiwhale tribe is inevitable, and I'm afraid it will soon go beyond what the nobles would have expected, from a small-scale attack to a national war.

“Unlike them, I have many friends in the human world. I'm afraid those guys didn't trust me from the start. I don't know if the Count is close. I have other goals. ”

“Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

“I have defected and dared not go back to the sea. The source is long gone. Isn't it uncertain about the authenticity of the invasion? How can I say that? To whom? Now that we've seen the lead troops, I can tell you the truth now. After that, it's not my business to deal with you people. I am individually weak and heterogeneous. I will not be trusted on either side. Wallfield will only offend both sides at the same time. I can't control anything, and I am not going to. ”

After that, the sea monster's face was relaxed, but the audience was helpless. She was relaxed, but the troublesome leather ball kicked on someone else's head.

At that time, we discussed it for a long time, but were not able to conclude whether the invasion was a true response or the authenticity of the sea demon discourse.

Yes, we still suspect her, even though she seemed extremely forthright and voluntarily told a series of secrets.

Neither legend nor reality, the sea demon is an honest and kind creature. Her proactive account makes one suspect fraud, and I always feel that there is a subtle sense of discordance, as if something important has been calculated.

Twilight has come, and my scouts have just returned.

“Any news? ”

Black cat jumped onto the windowsill, she herself had been sleeping at the table, but the four dispersed splits were impenetrable probes, and the sea demon's residence and riverside were all within her surveillance.

“Yes, the sea monster is not trustworthy, at least, she doesn't want her to be so irrelevant. She sent herself seals out to watch the fish tribe in the river. And she, herself, went to the bandit union, the mercenary union to commission, and seemed to be looking for something. ”

“Something?”

“Well, it sounds like some kind of tribute. It is said to be related to the god of the sea. ”

“Does the god of the sea matter? Well, as a sea monster, it's natural for her to go looking for it. How's it going in the river? ”

“Fish people are starting to build camps in the river, and it looks like they're really the first troops to prepare for the big ones later. ”

I nodded and the intelligence was in place, but I still couldn't reach a conclusion.

“Too little intelligence, too little knowledge of the country and the Sea... ”

“Cough, Roland, I guess. Wanna know? ”

“Dry fish and milk are up to you... well, I'm just kidding, I know you're not a cat, don't bite me, just say it. ”

Seems to admire my headache, the proud cat walks back and forth on the windowsill with her tail up in the sky.

“My foolish disciple, in fact, is very simple, the interests, the Sea Nation is not a charitable organization, taking such a great risk to raid a country's capital, there is not enough interest to make sense. Also, the god of water elements is not the shield of the sea, they mix together, water elements and fishes become a family, how is it possible without enough profit as a binder? ”

“You mean... damn it! This is a big one. ”

In the depiction of a cat, a water element dissolved in the air and turned into little light rain, while in the rain a group of wooden dwarves representing the fishermen were advancing.

“With the help of Aeros, the god of water elements, is the sea going ashore? ”

“Magical theory makes sense. Such an interest would also be enough to drive the seas crazy. Perhaps the Orlando Empire is in real trouble this time. ”
