Lords go left, Emperors go right

"It's no problem, Lord Osta. It's not difficult to suppress it, but it's hard to remove it for the time being."

"That's good. Thank you for your hard work. Chris, please go and inform Yulia on the ground and ask her to help find a carriage to transport these...these barrels of wine away."

Based on the principle that no one should be left behind, Osta did not give up on these beautiful girl knights. They were all members of the Thunder Knights under Miss Reina, so there was no reason not to rescue them. If only Reina was rescued, she would definitely be unhappy, and the young lady might commit suicide out of guilt in the future. Therefore, Osta immediately arranged for Chris and Sophia to help, and with their assistance, they found a carriage to transport these special wine barrels away.

Fortunately, the members of the Thunder Knights, including Miss Reina, are basically trained knights, not ordinary human beings. If they were ordinary human girls, they would be in a bad state of losing their restraints even if they didn't starve to death after being under house arrest for a few days. When Osta rescued them, Reina and the others didn't have this situation. Their bodies were still relatively clean, and there was no peculiar smell in the air.

This made Osta feel more at ease, but he felt a sense of inexplicable loss in his heart. This senior gentleman who was very secretive might have had some very evil and bold expectations before. The members of the Thunder Knights all acquiesced to Osta's arrangement. After all, he saved their leader, Miss Reina.

As for the issue of the other party being a man, if Miss Reina didn't mind, then they had no reason to mind it either. There was no better way except to blush and wait for rescue and arrangements. Yulia was very efficient, and no one knew what method she used. She quickly requisitioned a carriage near the lord's mansion, a luxurious carriage that only wealthy businessmen could afford.

"Yulia, such a nice carriage, could it have been stolen?"

"Master Osta, please don't misunderstand me. I just picked it up on the street. I didn't steal it."

Osta looked at the luxurious carriage that Yuliya had hired, and then looked at the beautiful girl with black hair and black eyes. Yuliya had a serious expression on her face, but she couldn't hide the cunning look in the depths of her beautiful black eyes. She couldn't believe everything she said.

Anyway, Osta took a quick glance and saw that there was still fresh blood on the assassin's dagger that Yulia carried with her. It seemed that the other party was too lazy to cover it up. There was no doubt that this carriage was stolen.

Osta did not continue to explore, choosing to cooperate with the other party's performance and pretending to be blind. With the help of Chris and the others, they finally moved all the things in the wine cellar onto the carriage.

Chris and the others looked calm and not shy, which gave Osta an illusion. For a moment, he almost thought that the gentlemen and ladies present were all skilled slave traders, doing their daily activities in an orderly manner. The sense of déjà vu was too strong.

After Osta took Reina and the others on the carriage, he chose to leave the lord's mansion temporarily. The body of the former lord, Earl Rayland, would be collected and buried later. The current situation in Gerald City was delicate and extremely tense. The slightest disturbance could spread the unrest.

The territory guards and the lord's army guarding the town of Gerard would most likely lose control and mutinied if they knew that Lord Rayland had long been dead, Miss Reina and her Thunder Knights had lost control, and that the eldest son Baron Raymont had also fled to the Western Continent by sea and would never come back.

By then, not only the town of Gerald, but the entire Fitzgerald territory will become a place of disorder and chaos before it is besieged and conquered by the zombie army.

"Your Highness Aosta, you are leaving the city so soon! Have you met Count Rayland and Miss Reina? Did they say anything or tell you anything?"

"I have met them. The Earl and the young lady are both doing well. They are still busy discussing and formulating a new defense strategy. Before the specific tactics are worked out, they will not come out to meet. We can survive this crisis. By the way, the Earl gave me some malt liquor as a gift."

"So, these barrels are filled with malt liquor? Then there is no need to check. Your Highness Osta, please walk slowly. There may still be many scattered zombies outside the town. Please be careful."

Aosta took a carriage out of the city. This time he used two carriages, one was the lord's special carriage when he entered the city, and the other was the temporary luxury carriage that the maid Yulia and her friends had just obtained, which was specially used to transport special goods. The captain of the guard who led Aosta and his friends to the lord's mansion was on duty at the checkpoint out of the city.

Osta had a calm expression. With a successful round of deception and "chicken soup for the soul", he convinced the captain of the guards that the lord, Earl Rayland, was alive and well, and Miss Reina was also handling business. After a round of pleasantries, the captain of the guards ordered them to pass without checking the wooden barrels that Osta brought out. The guards thought that the barrels contained the fine wine that the lord had given to the prince, so they easily let Osta and his party pass the checkpoint and leave Gerard City.

Osta turned his back to this side, trying hard to suppress the smirk on his face, as if he was a smuggling boss who successfully deceived the customs officers. It would be embarrassing if he just opened any of those barrels for inspection. He might have to use force to break through. Now, finding a safe place to put Reina and the others is the priority.

Chapter 87 The Bloody Secret of the Spread of Plague

The crisis in Fitzgerald's territory continued, and the news that the former lord, Earl Rayland, had died was temporarily sealed. Osta discovered the truth in the lord's mansion, and successfully rescued the lord's daughter, Miss Reina, and a dozen members of the Thunder Knights and beautiful girl knights from the wine cellar. However, Osta also chose to continue to conceal the truth, which was the only safe option at this stage.

Geral City was not safe. This town without its lord was bound to become the next place of disorder under the siege of the approaching zombie army. The transport ships that the Grusmore Empire could send were limited, and it was impossible to take everyone away.

Most of the residents in Gerald City would eventually be trapped in Gerald City and wait for death. Moreover, if the news of the death of Lord Rayland was known, the Grusmore Empire would most likely choose to abandon the territory directly, and the cost of sea transportation would be huge.

After rescuing Reina, Osta immediately withdrew from Jellal City. If he hadn't asked for Miss Reina's personal opinion, Osta would have wanted to take her back to his own territory, the Bloomfield area, to settle her there. It was absolutely safe there, but if he took her away without asking for her opinion, he would have really become a slave trader, although it was almost the same now.

"Can we find a safe and secluded place nearby? It would be best if it's near the sea. If we encounter any emergency, we can still find a boat."

"Lord Osta, there is a fishing village marked on the map, not far away, which should meet your requirements. However, it seems that all the villagers in the fishing village have fled, so I can't guarantee its safety."

"Don't worry about that. Just choose that fishing village. Chris, it won't be a big problem if you are here. Just check the environment first."

It was not difficult to find a suitable place. The area around Gerald City was temporarily safe. The zombies' attention was attracted by the flow of people and rushed towards Gerald City. Few of them would escape and wander around nearby villages and towns. Following the instructions of the map in his hand, Osta quickly found the small fishing village of Sakri near the sea.

Thackery Village is located on the coastline of Fitzgerald Territory, not far from the territory's capital, Gerald City. It is called a small fishing village, but in fact, it is also a village with hundreds of households. To say it is small is to be modest. When Osta led his men to the village, the village was empty, and the debris on the ground was scattered randomly, looking very messy.

The villagers of Sakri Village had already fled, leaving only one person in the deserted fishing village. The simple pier near the sea was also empty. The fishing boats that were originally moored at the pier had become tools for the fishermen to escape and were taken away by the way.

These fishermen have certain advantages. They do not need to crowd into Geral City like most refugees and wait for the rescue fleet sent by the official Grusmore Empire. The fishermen can save themselves and the initiative is completely in their own hands.

Osta was quite satisfied with this temporary place. If there was no one around, it would be convenient for him to move. Miss Reina and her members of the Thunder Knights, those beautiful girl knights, were in such a bad and tempting posture that it was not good for outsiders to see them. Osta quickly found the house of the village chief in Sakri Village and chose it as his temporary base.

The village chief's house is very easy to identify. It is very different from the houses of ordinary residents and it is relatively easy to distinguish. Generally speaking, it is the best house in the village. The village chief's house in Sakri Village is built in the most coastal location in the village. It has a good view and can see the beautiful sea view. Moreover, this house is a two-story structure, which is obviously much higher than the houses of ordinary villagers. It can be seen from a long distance.

Osta parked the carriage next to the village chief's house, and with the help of Chris and the others, he unloaded the special wooden barrels that were originally used to hold malt liquor from the carriage one by one and moved them into the house. Osta made a detailed division of labor, with Sophia staying in the house to help take care of Reina and the others and suppress the source of infection in them, which required the assistance of Sophia's divine energy.

Chris went to the beach to light a fire and set off a special smoke signal to provide guidance to the pirate queen Belus and Lianna at sea. After the interception mission was completed, they could send a fleet to pick her up according to the guidance of the special smoke signal. Osta was unsure about the safety of the land route and felt that the sea route was obviously safer and more stable.

Yulia went to patrol near the entrance of the village, to guard against sporadic zombies attacking and prevent them from causing trouble in the village. So far, the zombies that Osta and his team encountered along the way were basically slow-moving and weak, relying purely on their numbers to crush their opponents. Their average combat power was not good, so Osta did not seem to be very nervous, and felt that he could still handle it, and the current manpower was enough for the time being.

"Ms. Reina, are you okay? Wait a moment. I asked Chris to go to the beach to look for food. I think we can find some seafood."

"Your Highness Aosta, thank you for your help."

After everything was arranged, Osta took off the black eye mask on Reina's face and the evil gag that restricted her speech. The restraints on her body were not loosened for the time being. This young lady was still a carrier of the infection source and could not be loosened casually. Reina's face was shy and blushing. Her blue eyes were a little afraid to look directly at Osta. The blue eyes looked around at a loss, but she didn't dare to look at the man in front of her.

Reina's original personality was quite strong. As a Thunder Knight, she was similar to the imperial soldiers, just like the character of Brigadier General Meilan, the territory's military advisor beside Osta. However, under special circumstances, Reina could not maintain her original calmness.

Just now, Osta asked Sophia to help the beautiful girl knights of the Thunder Knights led by Reina to relax a little. After being under house arrest, they couldn't go to the toilet. They could only endure it for a few days. Even those who had practiced couldn't hold it.

This is the main reason why Reina is shy. She is not sure whether Osta saw the special scene just now. If he saw it, she would be ashamed. Of course, Osta would not mention these things. He was very gentlemanly and asked about their health, like taking care of a patient with a severe cold. There is no need to worry about infection. The source of infection in Reina and the others was temporarily suppressed by Sophia's divine power, at least it would not infect outsiders.

"Ms. Reina, can you tell me what happened in the lord's mansion? Maybe I can help."

"Well... Your Highness Aosta, I've been infected and I won't live long. Don't ask me, just let me..."

"Don't say such discouraging words, I have a way to help you, please believe me!"

At first, Reina was somewhat resistant and wanted to hide the truth, but she couldn't resist Osta's gentlemanly gentleness. In the final analysis, she was powerless to resist and there was no possibility for her to refuse Osta. If the other party forced himself on her, the success rate would be close to 100%.

"Your Highness Aosta, please forgive my rudeness. If you want to help me, what kind of reward do you hope to get? I don't really believe in free kindness."

"As for the reward, don't worry, you can definitely afford it. Can you tell me about the lord's mansion first?"

"Your Highness Aosta, you don't want to..."

Reina's face was red, like a ripe red apple, and Osta's tone was obviously ambiguous. When he mentioned the reward, he gently stroked Reina's smooth face with his hand, and glanced at Reina meaningfully.

Reina quickly guessed what the other party wanted, which was to lust after her body. However, this seemed to be the reward she could pay. After all, all the property in the lord's mansion had been swept away by her brother, Baron Raymont. That brother was so sick that he even took away his sister's weapons and equipment, leaving Reina penniless now.

"Ms. Reina, let's get down to business! If you don't reveal anything about the lord's mansion, I can only think about doing some interesting private things first."

"No, Your Highness Aosta, I...I'm just saying this, please don't do this for now."

"That's good, Reina, don't worry, I will take care of it."

Facing Osta's ambiguous questioning, Reina couldn't resist at all. Under the influence of the gentle environment, she almost nodded and agreed to the other party's further violation. Fortunately, Reina came to her senses in time and stopped Osta from continuing. Seeing that his goal was achieved, Osta temporarily stopped. Anyway, he could not escape the first day, and sooner or later, she would be his. He was determined to have this girl.

"Your Highness Aosta, my father and brother are both hopeless sinners. I was unable to speak up for them at the beginning, which led to all the serious consequences today."

When Reina mentioned the unbearable past that happened in the lord's mansion, her tone became very lost and she was full of emotion. Aosta did not interrupt her. At this time, being a quiet listener and listening to the other person's confession and voice silently is the most gentlemanly choice.

Miss Reina, as an eyewitness and party to the incident, knew a lot of inside information. She did not hide anything and told Osta everything she knew. Anyway, in her current shameful and primitive posture, she had almost no secrets in front of the other party, so there was no need to deliberately cover up anything.

It turned out that not long ago, Earl Rayland, the lord of Fitzgerald's territory, heard a report from his subordinates one day that in the village of Kalm in his territory, a primitive tribe of Kalimster people had been worshipping a mysterious statue that was said to provide unlimited magical energy. In the hands of the primitive tribes in the Central Continent, this kind of thing was at most a totem for worshipping gods, and it was just used for worship.

However, in the eyes of others, it is an absolutely important strategic magic prop. The statue that can provide unlimited magic energy can be used in many places. At the very least, it can be resold to many empires with super military power in exchange for huge wealth or political favors. The man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. After all, Earl Rayland, the former lord of Fitzgerald Territory, is not a saint and gentleman. He soon became evil and was dominated by greed in his heart.

What happened next was similar to the intelligence that Osta had obtained in advance. Count Rayland announced that he had sent his men to Kalm Village to collect taxes. In fact, he personally brought his son Baron Raymont and his daughter Miss Reina, as well as a large number of guards, to Kalm Village to try to get the Kalimsters to hand over the mysterious statue.

Out of faith, the people of Kalimster rejected the unreasonable demands of the lord without any suspense. Count Rayland was furious and, despite the opposition of his daughter Reina, he led his guards with his son Baron Raymont to massacre the village of Kalm and snatch away the mysterious statue. The village of Kalm was flooded with blood and corpses were everywhere.

The members of the primitive tribe of Kalymster who had lived here for generations, though they were not afraid of the powerful and fought bravely, were ultimately defeated because of the large numbers of the enemy and the small numbers of the enemy. In the end, this primitive tribe of Kalymster was brutally suppressed because they were outnumbered, and all the men, women and children in the village were brutally killed by the minions of the lord.

The curse began at that time. The mysterious statue carried a virus that could transform humans into zombies, which was equivalent to the source of infection. After leaving Kalm Village, the army under Lord Rayland continued to mutate, and the plague spread quickly, affecting the villages and towns along the way.

The situation quickly got out of control, and when the lord returned to the lord's mansion in Gerald City, the lord, Earl Rayland, suddenly realized that he had caused a disaster. At that time, the lord himself, his son and daughter might have become potential carriers of the plague, and there was no hope for them.

At the last moment, Earl Rayland quickly made arrangements for the aftermath, and made a will, passing the title of lord heir to his second son Sir Raynos, who was in the western continent and had not been infected, and then he committed suicide with a dagger. He also left another dagger for his eldest son Baron Raymond to commit suicide for the sake of justice, so as not to disgrace the family's reputation after becoming a zombie.

The outbreak of the plague depends on the strength of the infected. As a Thunder Knight, Reina can rely on her willpower and strength to hold on for a while even if she is infected.

Count Rayland and Baron Raymont were not so good. Their personal strength was not as good as Reina's, and they would definitely be infected and mutated before Reina. In order to prevent Reina from bearing the heavy burden and infamy of patricide and fratricide, they committed suicide, which was the best of both worlds.

Before Lord Rayland committed suicide, he felt guilty and sent several urgent letters to the Grusmore Empire, asking them to arrange ships to rescue the refugees, saving as many as they could. He specially arranged for his daughter Reina, the strongest Thunder Knight, to stay in the town of Jellal as a supervisor until the last moment. If Reina got infected during the journey, she would also commit suicide.

"Reina, I'm sorry for bringing up your sad past. Is there something unexpected going on in the current situation?"

"Well, Your Highness Aosta, it's my fault for being too soft-hearted. I didn't expect that my brother and... I'm so stupid!"

"Reina, this is not your fault. You are safe now. I will do my best to help you with all the aftermath."

Chapter 88: Pursuit of the Fleeing Fleet at Sea

The root cause of the plague outbreak in the Fitzgerald Territory has finally been revealed. It all stems from greed. The former lord, Earl Leyland, resorted to force in order to seize a mysterious statue with unlimited energy from the primitive tribe of the Kalymstan people in the territory.

In a moment of hesitation, Count Leland chose to massacre the village of Kalm. Although he got the mysterious statue after the massacre, it became one of the root causes of the plague outbreak. By the time Lord Leland discovered the abnormality, it was already too late. Although he took the greatest possible remedial measures, he could not stop the spread of the plague-infected area.

With his life at the end of his rope, Earl Rayland had no choice but to resort to the last resort, intending to commit suicide to prevent the plague from spreading to the western continent. This was his final responsibility as a noble. Earl Rayland's plan was fine, but plans often cannot keep up with changes, and his eldest son, Baron Raymont, obviously did not have this awareness.

According to the arrangement, Miss Reina, as the Thunder Knight, would lead her Thunder Knights to hold on until the last moment and supervise the execution of the plan. However, at the most critical moment, Miss Reina was soft-hearted and did not make a finishing move when Baron Raymond did not commit suicide as planned.

This hesitation eventually led to the failure of the entire plan. Baron Raymond not only did not commit suicide, but also took the mysterious statue away after his father, Earl Rayland, committed suicide, intending to forcibly bring it back to the Western Continent. Even if he was wanted by his own country, the Grusmore Empire, Baron Raymond felt that as long as he had this mysterious statue of a strategic magic item in his hands, it would be an invaluable political bargaining chip, and it would not be a problem for him to defect to other empires.

At that time, Reina had the ability to stop her brother Baron Rayland's escape plan, but she hesitated and was soft-hearted. At the critical moment, Reina was betrayed again. Finia, the deputy leader of the Thunder Knights, who was originally a subordinate of Reina and had a close relationship with her, turned against her at the critical moment and betrayed her bestie and comrades.

Fenia had been close to Baron Raymont for a long time, almost like a couple, and Reina knew it a long time ago, but she didn't take it seriously before. Reina never thought that at the moment of making the final decision, Fenia would betray herself and her comrades in the Thunder Knights.

With the help of Vice Captain Phineas and Baron Raymond, Miss Reina, even though she was a Thunder Knight, was simultaneously plotted against by her best friend and brother. It was impossible to defend against it, and the Thunder Knights were completely annihilated.

Osta was able to pick up such a big bargain in the wine cellar, thanks to the help of Baron Raymont. If it weren't for the advance preparation of this fellow, Osta wouldn't have been able to pick up Reina and the others smoothly. The miserable state of Reina and the others was the masterpiece of Baron Raymont and Deputy Captain Fenia.

As an elder brother, Baron Raymont had some moral integrity, and only confiscated all the weapons and equipment of his sister Reina and her Thunder Knights, and imprisoned them in the wine cellar to fend for themselves, leaving them with only thin underwear to cover their shame. Unexpectedly, in the end, it benefited Osta, the latecomer, and Reina and the others were almost given to someone for free.

"Your Highness Osta, my brother has already left from Jester Wharf by boat and is probably on the main route. When he returns to the Western Continent, he will definitely spread the epidemic to the entire continent. Then I will become the eternal sinner for the outbreak of the epidemic in the Western Continent."

"Reina, don't worry about this. I have already made arrangements. Your brother can't go back. I will also find the mysterious statue. However, Miss Reina, I want to confirm one thing with you. I can also help you catch the deputy leader, Phineas, who betrayed you, as long as you agree."

Osta had a confident expression on his face, as if everything was under his control. This made Reina feel a little overwhelmed for a moment. She really couldn't understand where the man in front of her got the confidence from, as if he could definitely do it. At this stage, Reina could only choose to trust the prince. There were not many options left for Reina. She could only rely on Osta now, and almost bet everything on him.

"If you can bring Fenia back, I'll trouble you, Your Highness Aosta. I'd like to have a good talk with Fenia then. She just made a mistake for a moment and was deceived by my brother. Alas, women tend to make fools when they are in love."

"Okay, I'll arrange everything. By the way, Reina, your territory is not safe. When we get off the ship, can you and your Thunder Knights go to my territory first? I'll find someone to treat you."

"Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness Aosta. I'll follow your arrangements."

This time, Reina did not refuse Osta's invitation without any hesitation. Given her current weak condition, it would be no problem for the other party to forcibly take her and her group away. He didn't even need to ask for their opinions in advance or consider their thoughts.

Osta also agreed to Reina's additional request and would try his best to help the refugees in Gerald Town evacuate and flee. As many as possible could escape. Osta promised to find a way to solve the plague problem in Fitzgerald's territory. As a neighbor, it was indirectly helping him.

“By the way, Reina, the towel is already here, let me help you wipe it.”

"Your Highness Osta, you don't have to do this yourself... We still have Chris and the others..."

"Chris and the others still have things to do, don't worry, leave everything to me, Reina, I will be gentle."

"Your Highness Aosta, you don't have to...wait..."

「Reina, I am embarrassed. It is a time like this. It is an emergency. There is no point worrying about that. I will take responsibility to the end. I will also help your subordinates later. I will not leave any of them behind.」

While Osta was talking intimately with Reina, a sea interception battle was taking place in the main shipping route of the nearby sea area. A fleet flying the flag of the Grusmore Empire was sailing quickly to the west, aiming to return to the western continent as soon as possible. Only by reaching the continent would they be safe. The owner of this fleet was Baron Raymond who escaped from Fitzgerald's territory.

After his father, the former Lord Earl Rayland, committed suicide, Baron Raymond did not follow in his father's footsteps and end his life for the greater good, but chose to flee to the Western Continent. As for the infection source on his body, the baron did not care at all. He was thinking about inheriting the earldom, and he would never follow his father's wishes and pass the title inheritance to his younger brother Sir Raynorth after committing suicide.

Baron Raymont's fleet consisted of ten ships, including six warships and four transport ships. He himself was on the flagship "Thunderbird". The four transport ships were filled with the wealth of the Fitzgerald territory, which were all the properties accumulated by his father, Earl Rayland, and were now adopted by the eldest son.

The original wife of Earl Rayland died of illness a long time ago, so there was no dispute over the inheritance of the family property. Baron Raymont got most of the property, and all he had to do was return to the Western Continent and take back the Earl's mansion and family estate that were managed by his younger brother Sir Reynolds, and he would complete the inheritance of the entire family.

"Lord Raymond, there should be no problem with Miss Reina!"

"No problem, Nia. My sister was confused for a moment. How could she believe the nonsense of the old immortal? She needs to calm down in the wine cellar. Don't worry, when I return to the Western Continent, I will immediately arrange a fleet to bring Reina back. Now, she and her female knights need to calm down in a cool place for a while."

On the deck of the fleet's flagship Thunderbird, Baron Raymont was talking to Fenia, the former vice-captain of the Thunder Knights. Fenia had a complicated expression on her face, as she admired Baron Raymont. Fenia was fooled by his sweet words and assisted Baron Raymont in subduing Miss Reina and other beautiful knights of the Thunder Knights, temporarily placing them in the wine cellar, removing all their weapons and equipment to have a good rest for a while.

Baron Raymont was about 172cm tall, with the same sea blue hair as his father, Count Rayland. He had long hair and looked like an artist. But there was always a gloomy look in his blue eyes, as if he was always calculating something.

Baron Raymont was wearing a golden noble dress that belonged exclusively to the earl. He hadn't officially inherited the title, but he was already wearing the earl's dress. It seemed that Baron Raymont was impatient, and wanted to inherit the earl's position in advance after his father, Earl Rayland, committed suicide.

Fenia, who was beside Baron Raymont, was not as cunning as Baron Raymont. This beautiful knight was wearing the special armor of the Thunder Knights. Fenia had beautiful long flaxen hair, was about 170cm tall, and had a tall and plump figure.

The average height of the Thunder Knights was about 170cm. On Phineas' pretty face, her brown eyes showed uneasiness. After all, she didn't want to betray Reina. She was hesitant between being her best friend and her lover. Baron Raymont used sweet words to trick Phineas into coming to his side to help.

When Baron Raymont and Phineas were chatting, there was a certain distance between them. The baron actually had other plans. Although Phineas loved him, for the sake of his future, Baron Raymont would still choose to abandon this beautiful knight who helped him without hesitation.

Even if the size of Finia's peaks reached the D level, it would not affect Baron Raymont's final decision. As long as he could return to the Western Continent to inherit the title and property, the last thing he would lack was women. Baron Raymont could even abandon his own sister, Reina. If he could do this to his relatives, then his lover would be no problem.

Finia herself was also a carrier of the infection source. Baron Raymont would never take her back to the Western Continent. He was the only one who knew the truth. All the promises before were lies. Finia was simple and was easily deceived. Her brown eyes always kept a pure look, and she obviously didn't think too much.

"Phinya, it's windy on the deck, let's talk inside the cabin!"

"Lord Raymont, I still think Miss Reina..."

"Phinya, let's go to the cabin first and talk about anything there."

Baron Raymont's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible cruelty, but soon returned to normal. Phineas did not notice that a gentleman was about to reveal his true colors, and foolishly followed him into the cabin. At this time, in the air above the fleet, there was a beautiful girl with blue hair and butterfly-shaped fairy wings behind her. She was hiding in the clouds and secretly observing the situation, using the cover of the clouds to spy on Baron Raymont's fleet.

This is one of the female city lords under Osta, the former matriarch of the Holy Ruins Elf Tribe, the Holy Fairy Tifana. She was specially invited to take part in this sea interception battle, using her advantage of being able to fly at high altitudes to help the fleet and provide long-range aerial reconnaissance assistance.

After determining the target location, Tifana held the magic communication crystal in her hand and sent a magic communication message to the pirate queens Belus and Lianna cruising nearby, asking the two pirate queens to lead their fleets according to the coordinates she provided and encircle Baron Raymont's fleet from front and back.
