Old Sword Master

“As it should be.” Nared did not deny, “We will build our country and temple again, Lord Wood, you should follow the trend. There is no doubt about your talents, but your position is really not a place to display it, Tripoli Duchy’s position has some buffers, and its strength is much stronger than that of the Republic of Crete. Even so, this time it is likely to follow the footsteps of the Crusaders. Regardless of victory or defeat, the Ottoman Empire will attack Crete. The Spanish fleet, you are impossible to hold.”

Wood ate another dumpling without the panic that Nared expected.

Nared suddenly understood why she was entangled. She hoped to complete the task and save herself and the Teacher from the terrible situation, but at the same time she did not want Wood to accept this condition. The Ottoman Empire did not at all establish a similar Wallachia on Crete. The idea of ​​a situation with Moldavia, accepting the Ottoman garrison Wood is left to be slaughtered.

But if you resist, Wood really has no chance.

What he needs now is not a few 10000 talers from Spain, but a few 1000 soldiers from Spain.

Of course Wood didn’t think so. Even if the Spanish soldiers were better than the Ottoman soldiers, he didn’t want a few Flying Insects. He also had to surrender his soul, a little slower at best.

He has a way to keep himself.

“Nared, don’t worry about me.” Wood suddenly said with a smile.

…

On the southern coast of the Mediterranean, the capital of Tripoli’s great duchy, the port of Tripoli.

The huge pillar of fire lights up the night sky. In a moonless night, ships within 100 miles can see this pillar of fire and navigate with it.

Over several li, more than 100 Ottoman warships are advancing with this goal.

The “Star and Moon Spear” Sinan Pasha is in this fleet. He is the second in command of the fleet and assists Commander Sokurupasa. His goal is the most important target in the port, the Spanish Squadron and Hospital Knight fleet, if possible, blocking the enemy’s weak fleet in the harbor is the best choice.

Although the expected elite mage did not come, the Fate Chamber of Commerce added 500 talers to show its sincerity, so this is not a major event.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this kind of loss of time still has to be severely punished, but the fate Chamber of Commerce’s intelligence agency on the southern coast of the Mediterranean has fully stimulated this time, from the assistance during the landing to the wartime intelligence screen, to the post-war cleaning up of the mess. Do not open them.

“Within 5 minutes, you will be within the observable range of the heretic.” His adjutant reported to him.

The Ottoman fleet gradually approached, and they soon discovered that there were no ships on the dock.

When they approached very close to the coastline, the entire horizon suddenly lit up.

Sinan Pasha only saw that he had been hiding under the shining of the big torch, and suddenly there appeared a row of small torches that stretched nearly 1000 meters.

Each of these torches are burning skeletons, each of which has a different height, but depending on the adjustment of the torch outside, each one looks the same tall.

Speaking of small, it’s just relative to the big torch that soars into the sky. The fire surrounding every flame skeleton is more than 2 meters high.

This is an unprecedented defense facility in the port of Tripoli.

“Star and Moon Spear” Sinan Pasha did not see any living creatures, but he knew there were 2 suitable landing sites around Tripoli Port, and the enemy must be waiting for them in the dark.

Not at all Tripoli Port is not at all slack at any point, and the guard is extremely tight. The whole city is like a tight bowstring ready to go.

Sinan Pasha turned his head and looked towards the flagship, is it the assault flag, or…

Chapter 355 Don’t Seek Return, Support Diversified Wood

Wood and Nared were still discussing whether to seek refuge in the Ottoman Empire, the question of torture of the soul. Although Wood did not respond positively, Nared continued to put forward some specific conditions.

“Wood, if you are worried about not being able to integrate into the Ottoman Empire, you can return Julius to the Fate Chamber of Commerce. We will remember your contribution.” After all, Nared is still on the mission of rescuing the faithful, but she cares more about Wood than you. Rius, so he added, “But Julius has a bad personality. You have to make sure he doesn’t disappoint your kindness.”

Nared is really contradictory.

“Oh, then I really can’t help it. He is currently locked in the Inquisition. Although the Bazin family has a good relationship with me, the Spaniards are watching very closely for his direct transmission of pirates. Director Bazin and Captain Bazin always ordered a severe interrogation, Julius is miserable.” Wood had a sympathetic expression on his face, “Actually I believe he really didn’t know what happened to the Burberry pirates on the ship. There must be some The subordinates collected black money without telling him, and he knew everything about such a big ship.”

This is also the explanation Julius insisted on when he was tortured. In fact, this is one of the standard answers for senior members of the Fate Chamber of Commerce when it comes to black business.

Nared certainly knows that rescuing single pirates is an important business of the Fate Chamber of Commerce. It is by no means a private activity. However, her expression and tone have not changed. She just held up her excitement and continued to ask: “How miserable Julius is. ?”

“It’s really hard to describe in words, but you must be very concerned about the situation of the church members. I will try to talk about it for you.” But Wood seemed to capture the trace of Nared’s emotions. “He was locked in a dungeon. It was rainy and cold. It’s hot, hot and thirsty on a sunny day. What I eat every day is the food waste of the referee’s action members. There is a bald-headed Barbarian who has a particularly good appetite. He often doesn’t eat anything at all. Everyone has to be naturalized by the Moors and The referee action members took turns torturing, the Old Hu bench, the 9-tail whip, all kinds of clip rods, nail racks, not to mention how miserable, Julius was the worst of them.” Wood looked at Nared, the female priest blue His eyes were shining slightly, and Wood brewed some emotions before he continued, “Worry, once you become a prisoner, the worst thing is mage. Now Julius is being beaten up and down every day to make him copy the scroll. He was still stubbornly resisting, and he had to be sturdy and beaten a few times before he was willing to copy the scrolls.

“Praise the Lord of the End of 10000 Things.” Nared said softly.

“Well, this is the test given to him by the Lord of the End of Things.” Wood looked helpless. “Captain Bazin has already said that he must be copied and manic. It would be better if he could have a mental breakdown. It’s really cruel. Although Julius colluded with the Burberry pirates, I think this is a bit too cruel. The Spaniards do things too much. I think all kinds of Chamber of Commerce, especially the destiny Chamber of Commerce, must exist and prosper, after all Spain can’t do all business.”

“It’s great that you think so, Lord Wood.” Nared listened to Julius’s suffering without any sympathy on her face, and then she showed a visibly unnatural smile, “Your Excellency Wood, you must know. Our fate Chamber of Commerce and Burberry pirates as a whole are completely hostile. They robbed many of our merchant ships and killed many of our church members. This kind of collusion with pirates is the personal belief of our individual staff. We will never Interference in the justice of the Republic of Crete.” Nared seemed to remember that she had just said that Wood would hand over Julius to her. “Of course, if you can pay the ransom, the Teacher of Julius, you have also seen it. , His Royal Highness Agnon, very powerful and wealthy, and has a clear love and hatred, not the type that will forgive others.”

“Then I don’t have any conflict with him.” Wood seemed to think for a while, “I have always supported the Fate Chamber of Commerce and opposed Spain’s trade monopoly.”

Nared heard this and guessed that Wood must have been a little angry with Bazin.

“He is easier to empathize. The last time he communicated with His Royal Highness Sazastan was not smooth, but His Royal Highness is too strong. He may accumulate emotions on other people present.” Nared wondered if Wood was listening. Knowing her hint, Agnon has already retaliated against her and Teacher within the Fate Chamber of Commerce, and will definitely retaliate against Wood.

“Then, did His Highness Agnon come with you?” Wood wondered if Nared would answer himself honestly.

“If everything goes well, he should be in the Tripoli port now.” Although Nared hates Agnon very much, he still hopes that his actions on the southern coast of the Mediterranean will go smoothly. The Duchy of Tripoli currently controls several thousand Jaegers, while forcing them to be extremely Salt digging under harsh conditions, while extorting each person for a ransom of 1000 talers, “but his discipline, the same sect Noble mage of Julius, and some very capable people, did not go to the port of Tripoli. .”

These people were obviously on the island of Crete, ready to rescue Julius, but Wood did not immediately jump up to remind little Bazin, nor can he distrust his comrades at all, and do everything by himself is impossible.

“Nared, no matter what others think, I hope you know that I am very friendly to you personally and to the Fate Chamber of Commerce, and I have absolutely no malice.” Wood made Nared feel that he was staying behind, which disappointed her a bit. Also slightly relaxed, Wood is not the hero who can fight the Ottoman Empire, but there is a way to survive.

“And the Spaniards are too arrogant. I am disappointed with some Spanish families and some mages. They have clearly grasped a very critical situation that is very helpful to all mankind, but they hide themselves unwilling to benefit all mankind.” However, Wood suddenly Speaking of an intelligence that surprised Nared, “Flying Insect is not only Spain, Crete is also a common enemy of all mankind, I think you must also know.”

“Flying Insect…” Nared suddenly became vigilant, “Don’t tell me.”
