The Emerald Tower

Chapter 440 Arrival II

Gaosai, the capital of the king.

In a magnificent and vast palace, a tall guard who had just received a message from the military port walked quickly towards the depths of the palace.

Click, click!

The friction between the metal boots and the marble floor formed a very rhythmic sound.

Spreading back and forth in the empty corridor.

One after another, figures standing in the shadows discerned who was coming in the darkness, and then disappeared in a flash.

At the end of the corridor, without the obstruction of the door, you can clearly see everything inside——

A large map hangs on the wall of the room.

Emerald, Gosai and Siti are painted on it, along with the Commonwealth of Freedom.

Next to the map, there is a sand table, as if the map on the side has been completely imprinted on it. The cities, mountains, and rivers are so complete and detailed.

And between the map and the sand table, stood a man in his prime.

Black and red silk robes, well-tailored, straight eyebrows straight into the bun, piercing eyes, straight nose with a slightly hooked tip.

It made this handsome face feel a bit more stern.

The long black and red hair draped down his shoulders, blending with the silk robe, standing there like a dark flame.

"Your Highness, there is news from the military port: the patriarch of the Zelgaon family has entered our waters. He hangs the banner of the Emerald Duke, but the Emerald Duke has not arrived!"

The tall guard reported everything truthfully.

"Zelgon... a subordinate of His Highness Nick?"

The man said slowly, and then waved his hand and said: "Leave it to Fedok! Let him receive this Zelgon patriarch instead of me. After all, he is not only my advisor. There is a relationship!"

Obviously, just the subordinates of Grand Duke Emerald could not really attract his attention.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The tall guard bowed,

left the hall.

And this man set his eyes on the complete and exquisite sand table again.

His eyes swept to the north of the emerald——

The city of Vauban suddenly appeared where he was looking.

His fingers tapped the edge of the sand table lightly.

"Some accident happened...whether it's the people I sent out or those who stayed there...it seems that there are some problems?"

The man whispered to himself.

Ding, Ding...

The man gently pulled the rope next to the sand table, and immediately a bell rang. Then, a black shadow appeared in front of the man without a sound.

"Is there no news about Momun and Udel?"

the man asked.

"No, Your Highness—I think they are in danger!"

This is an elderly man with a hoarse voice, and his whole body is covered by black clothing, revealing only his simple face.

"I've got to get what's there - my brother's health is failing but he loves my brother Eddie... I'm running out of time!"

The man said slowly, his tone undeniable.

Eddie Byron Gaosai, brother of King Gaosai, one of the two princes.

And the man in front of him called Eddie his younger brother. Then it goes without saying that he is another prince of Gaosai: Fendel Byron Gaosai.

"Your Highness, you want to go there in person? The one you invited Jade is also for a logical return visit?" The old man guessed Fendel's plan, but he frowned, and he disagreed: "Your Highness, this is very risky——His Royal Highness Eddie It's not that he has no ambitions for the throne, not to mention, Her Royal Highness Vivienne has been eyeing her! If you leave..."

"If I stay, the situation will not change, but if I leave, my enemies will definitely do something as I leave, and then we can easily wipe them all out—and when I find Under the premise that the ancestors wield the sword, all difficulties will be easily solved!"

Fendel said confidently.

The old man frowned again, but in the end he didn't try to persuade him again.

But Fendel turned around, put his eyes on the sand table again, and began to patrol back and forth in the three places of Gaosai, Jade, and Xiti.

It's like looking at your own territory.

...

The young Captain Andro of the First Fleet and Third Fleet of Gao Sai did not leave Dean's flagship.

He chatted with Tom and Nord with a sense of scrutiny and without breaking the etiquette.

Elder Lunk stood there, quietly listening to the conversation between the two sides.

As the elder of the Zelgaon family, the old man Lunk is very clear about what they will face next, so he is always vigilant.

But Dean left the deck a moment ago and returned to his captain's cabin.

Dean naturally knew exactly what might happen next.

However, because of this, Dean became more aware that he should keep up his energy.

Leaning quietly on his own bed, Dean woke up from his sleep, listened to the ongoing conversation on the deck, and couldn't help but chuckled——

"It's a lot slower than I thought—it seems that Fendel didn't pay attention to me!"

Dean knew all too well about Fendel.

Cold, hypocritical, and cruel.

A man who smiles in your face and then, when he turns around, stabs him.

However, there was one thing that Dean admired Fendel quite a lot.

That is, there will be no procrastination in doing things - after one thing is confirmed, the opponent will explode with unprecedented execution power, giving the enemy a lightning-fast attack.

Therefore, Dean can be sure that his 'humble status' has not attracted the other party's attention.

Instead, give it to someone else!

As for who?

Dean, who has the surname of 'Zelgang', certainly can't think of which side it is.

After all, in Gaosai, the Frost Nobility is also well-known. Much better than the one in Emerald.

"Your highness is invited to attend the founding ceremony of Gaosai. It's nothing more than taking advantage of the momentum to go to Emerald—and in Emerald. The only thing that can attract Fendel is the cemetery left by the King of Conquerors!"

Dean pondered the thoughts of his old adversary.

Then, he smiled lightly.

When he left Vauban County, he had completely covered up the cemetery of the King of Conquerors, and even the wolves had been properly arranged in other places.

Moreover, more than one layer of traps were set there.

Those who step into it, if they don't know it. There is absolutely no place to die.

Therefore, Dean is not afraid of the other party sending more people.

Unless it is a gold-level powerhouse, otherwise, he can guarantee that those people will come and go.

It's just that a gold-level powerhouse obviously cannot act at will, especially if a gold powerhouse from one country enters another country, they will definitely be closely monitored or even blocked.

so. Dean was sure that Fendel couldn't send his best man.

And under this premise, the other party can only use other methods. It is logical for the gold-level powerhouse to go to the north of the emerald—and his mission to the emerald is naturally a pretty good excuse.

It's just that Fendel never expected that Dean had already arrived first.

"Fendel, what you have lost is not only the opportunity, but everything you have dreamed of!"

Dean whispered to himself, then slowly stood up and walked out of the cabin—even though he was inside the cabin, Dean could hear the conversation outside clearly.

Therefore, Dean could hear clearly the latest order that Captain Andro received.

As for the so-called invitation to enter the Royal Capital Port and wait there for the arrival of Grand Duke Emerald, Dean was equally noncommittal.

The other party has already made corresponding arrangements.

No matter where it is, the opponent will make a move.

Therefore, rather than hanging out alone, it is far better to enter the other party's port; after all, once something happens, he "mishandled" damaged some port facilities, royal capital buildings, and even some nobles and knights in Gaosai. His king would have forgiven him; after all, he had done it unintentionally.

So, facing Andro's invitation, Dean readily agreed.

But Dean agreed, and the rest of the fleet would naturally not object.

A moment later, when Andro returned to his own ship, as the guiding ship headed towards the port of King Gaosai, the fleet of the Zelgaon family followed in turn.

And in the case of smooth sailing, the next morning.

The fleet of the Zelgang family saw Gaosai's Wangdu Port.

A series of piers made of solid rocks would look like a fortress if there were no ships coming in and out. From the perspective of the Zelgon family fleet, the port in the distance is completely prostrate there. Behemoth.

And the place where the ship enters and exits is the beast's mouth.

The iron fences are the teeth in the beast's mouth.

On the uppermost side, there are arrow towers densely distributed on them every twenty feet, and teams of soldiers shuttle among them.

Anyone who sees here will think that this is a military fortress, not a port.

In fact, Gaosai's Wangdu Port was originally a military port.

However, with the trade with Emerald and the Free Federation, a similar civilian pier was gradually developed on the side of the military port, and as time passed, this civilian pier became bigger and bigger due to the prosperity of trade. In the end, the pure military port began to be integrated into civilian use.

Of course, the pier where the warships are parked is still strictly prohibited from approaching by any civilian ships.

Woo, woo...

A burst of bugles sounded, and the largest iron fence outside the port, dragged by the winch, began to rise gradually, even behind Andro's ship. The fleet of the Zelgon family sailed into it.

Click, click!

As the last ship entered, the iron fence at the back closed the entire port again with a harsh friction.

At the same time, at the pier, several groups of soldiers suddenly left in a hurry, which attracted people's attention.

"What's wrong?"

Dean looked at the soldiers going away, and asked Nord.

"A group of thugs who robbed the prison appeared in the city, and they are running around!"

A moment later, Nord came back to report.

"The thugs who robbed the prison?"

Dean muttered to himself, and then exchanged meaningful glances with Elder Lunk.

The latter sneered again and again.

The first update of ps~(to be continued...)
