Warlock Royal Family

The Austrians, who had finished loading, refused Captain Suker's suggestion to invite them to a drink, and returned to the hotel.

Most of the people who had rested all afternoon couldn't help laughing happily when they learned that their companion had been a stevedore all afternoon.

Although the battle is coming soon, they generally do not have much psychological pressure. This is a contest at the time and on the battlefield chosen by Austria.

"Are you sure they'll go ashore tonight?" Jones said in a bad tone. Although Jarlaxle also helped with the loading as usual, it didn't help Jones' mood much.

"Don't underestimate the Ottoman organization. I am the superior of those pirates. They must obey my orders." Jarlaxle was very confident about this. [

"Organization of pirates?" Jarlaxle's words added to his old companion's suspicions.

"The last time your victory in Trieste and the Spanish activities in the Western Mediterranean triggered an existential crisis for the Barbary pirates, Hayreddin, with the support of Ibrahim Pasha of the Ottomans, has greatly improved in the past period. The control of pirates has been strengthened." This is also important but bad news for Austria.

"So what, we can still kill those rabble." Jones didn't think the pirates could really have any organization.

"All real power comes from organization." Ladislaus worried about this issue. "Pirates who plunder for survival and greed are nothing more than annoying flies, but even the most minimally organized pirates are a deadly threat to a nation."

Though those unlucky enough to be robbed or plundered by a single pirate ship would not agree with Ladislaus.

"The power of the organization comes from the prestige of the leader and effective rewards and punishments." Jarlaxle's words are not entirely correct, at least Ladislaus knows that lofty ideals and pragmatic programs can also inspire the power of the organization, but as far as the knowledge of this era Speaking of which, this statement is not bad. "Today we can make Hayreddin suffer a big loss."

"Are you sure he will come?" Ladislaus didn't want him to refuse to go ashore after tossing for so long. "Isn't it better to attack at sea?"

"Actually, this ship will not be robbed at all. Even if Hayreddin lands, nothing will happen to Captain Suk's ship and his cargo." Jarlaxle no longer needs to protect his channel resources. "It's not easy to stop any ship on the vast sea. As long as it is possible, it is always more efficient to collect taxes. Haileding would rather collect a certain percentage of taxes through his own agent."

It's not the first time Ladislaus has heard this statement: "Then why are you so sure he'll come ashore? There's nothing he can do in the Adriatic these days."

"He has to show that he has the ability to threaten the targets on the shore. Then some villages on the coast will pay him the same tax, not to mention that he suffered a big loss here last time. I have dealt with him a few times, he is A person who is extremely arrogant and conceited." Jones raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he knew exactly how conceited Jarlaxle was, and how conceited Hayreddin should be when he got such an evaluation?

"The villages on the coast pay him taxes?" This was also news to Ladislaus. Although he knew the answer, he still wanted to ask. "Are there Austrian villages among these villages?"

"Most are Hungarian villages. There are also villages in the Italian region to the west. The Italian city-states on the west coast have no ability to fight Hayreddin, and the navy of the Church of Rome is also in the Tyrrhenian Sea on the other side. What do you think of Rome? Offensively focused the attention of those small countries inland." Jarlaxle was careful not to answer Ladislaus's question directly.

In the end, Ladislaus did not pursue further questions. Hayreddin had no reason to tell Jarlaxle which villages paid him taxes.

Ladislaus himself was hesitating whether to severely punish those who paid the money, after all, doing so would draw the enemy's attention to Austria.This doesn't seem very sensible.

"And I told the contact person that there are a large number of good goods from Vienna in the port of Trieste, and there is also an elite escort team belonging to Mrs. Harna-Doria in the city. This time, Mrs. Harna also Here we come, if this force can be knocked out, the entire Austrian coast will be in a state of panic."

Jarlaxle's bold words made both Jones and Sazastan frown. Jarlaxle was teasing Hayreddin with the past of Laciris.

Although Ladislaus defended his honor by defeating the pirates, the humiliation and tragic death of his woman is undoubtedly a past that no man wants to mention.

"I hope Hayreddin can come to die again." Ladislaus neither lost his temper nor responded with cold blood. "And in order to punish you for your disrespect to the dead I loved, you and your drow men will exchange the heads of heretics for dinner today."

Those drow had just been forced to switch sides by their own leaders, and too harsh a punishment would inspire unnecessary danger. [

Their leaders were also extremely uneasy, but drow's nature made them seldom understand that no matter how greedy a man is, he will miss his lover. Over the years, Jarlaxle has offended many people for this.

It's just that few people can teach him the difference between being a man and being a drow. Even Ladislaus is unwilling to stimulate this superb warrior too much.

Although it failed to put public power in a cage, the personal strength of this world did put a shackle on public power to some extent.But it's hard to say whether this is good or bad.

But when it was time for dinner, Hayreddin didn't go ashore as agreed, and Ladislaus didn't refuse to feed the drows in the end.

The only one without food is Jarlaxle, who is being grilled harshly by his new boss.

"When is the agreed time?" Ladislaus summoned Jarlaxle again, and Jarlaxle found himself once again surrounded by Austrian strong players.

Although a Drow subordinate also came this time, it made up for it.

There is no conspiracy, he has really changed sides.

"I suggest that they go ashore when we have just entered the city. The attack should be launched before sunset at the latest." Jarlaxle was in front of Ladislaus with one of his cronies, "You told the contact like this Yes, Kim Murray."

This Jin Murray seems to be a very rare psychic according to the report, and this ability is very rare in humans.The same is true in drow.

However, rare things may not necessarily be destroyed. At this time, this drow was even more nervous than Jarlaxle: "Yes, Your Highnesses, this is how I conveyed it word by word."

"Didn't you reveal any flaws?" Jarlaxle seemed to want to shirk his responsibility?

"Absolutely not." Jin Murui didn't intend to take the blame for this. Changing the camp inexplicably is bad enough, but it is absolutely impossible to take the blame.

Looking at the two dark-skinned subordinates in front of him, Ladislaus decided to personally confirm Jarlaxle's report: "Do you still have family members in Timbatuk?"

"No, Your Highness, my family has long been destroyed in the drow's infighting." This is good news for Jin Murray, and the condition he is concerned about makes him a lot more credible.

Ladislaus nodded: "Then let's have some soup and wait a little longer." motivation. Mobile phone users please go to read.)
