After a long journey lasting more than a month, sleeping in the open air.

Krober and his team finally arrived in the northeast of the principality, and their first stop was the Alfalfa family.

The Alfalfa family is one of the many baronial families loyal to the Marquis of Green Feather Grass, and their main industry is horse breeding.

Since this family has made a living by raising horses for generations, they are naturally experienced and skilled in how to raise horses.

Their family name, "Alfalfa", is actually a kind of high-quality forage specifically used to feed horses.

Relying on the horse-breeding skills passed down from the family and years of hard work, the Alfalfa family has been making a fortune and enjoying good financial luck in recent years.

Its overall strength has also been greatly improved.

The entire family currently has five official knights, and it is rumored that one of them is about to break through to the realm of Grand Knight.

Arriving at the destination, the magnificent castle of the Alfalfa family came into view.

The one who came to greet Krober was the Knight Votava Alfalfa, who had previously led a team to Qingyu City to deliver a letter.

Compared to before, he seemed much calmer and composed at this moment, and no longer had that impatient look.

After learning that Krobe was about to send the letter, he arranged everything in the castle in an orderly and meticulous manner.

Since Kroeber intended to collect intelligence secretly this time, he did not make any big noise.

Before arriving at the destination, Kroeber decided to send Will as a messenger to deliver a message to the Alfalfa family in advance.

After seeing Krober's handwritten letter and the familiar golden dragon head emblem, Sir Watava hurriedly asked Will, the delivery man, how he could help them.

After learning that it was Clober who was worried that there might be pirate spies around the castle, Sir Watava came up with a good idea.

————

"Let me hide in the hay cart and get into the castle?"

Krober, who was camping in the jungle, nodded in agreement after hearing the idea proposed by Sir Watava.

To be honest, this is a really good idea.

First of all, the Alfalfa family's castle is located here.

At the beginning of its construction, the convenience of caring for horses was fully taken into consideration, so a location far away from the town was chosen to build the castle, so that confidentiality was well guaranteed.

Unlike the previous lakeside city, which was like a wall with holes in every direction, the comings and goings of people in the castle and the various big and small events that happened every day were no longer secrets at all.

Moreover, in order to feed the horses the freshest food every day, the servants would drive the carriage out to harvest fodder every morning.

This shows that transporting fodder has become a habit. Even if there are pirate spies around, they would never think that they would be hiding in the fodder.

With the afterglow of the setting sun, Krober hid in the hay cart and slowly "lay down" in the alfalfa castle.

Sir Watava greeted Krober warmly and told him in detail all the information he knew.

This is roughly what happened.

First is the Three Daughters Islands.

The Three Daughters Islands are composed of three small islands, namely the Big Daughter Island, the Second Daughter Island and the Little Sister Island.

As a gathering place for local pirates in the principality, the Three Daughters Islands have actually never been taken seriously by the nobles.

They thought they were just a bunch of refugees and deserters.

Even if they went out to sea to rob, they would only target small merchant ships and would not even dare to look at the nobles' fleets.

The Three Daughters Islands have a harsh environment, with reefs scattered throughout and natural caves of various sizes. It is said that the nobles who discovered these three islands confirmed after a comprehensive inspection that the island itself had no resources other than stones.

Since the island had no use value, the explorer sold it at a low price to the Grand Duke, and after the Grand Duke took possession of the archipelago, he did not divide it up among other fiefs.

In this way, this deserted island has been left here, with no one paying attention to it.

No one knows when, but a group of homeless pirates discovered these three islands by chance.

They didn't care whether this place had any so-called value or not, and just settled down here.

They used the various materials they had looted to meticulously decorate these three rocky and reef-covered islands. From a distance, they actually looked like a proper settlement.

As time went on, this pirate settlement became famous and attracted more and more pirates to settle there.

Perhaps it was because the increase in their numbers made them bolder, or perhaps robbing small merchant ships could not support so many pirates on the island.

So this group of pirates began to turn their greedy eyes to the trading fleets of those nobles.

At first, this group of pirates did successfully attack several fleets when the nobles were careless.

However, the good times did not last long. When the nobles realized the danger, they quickly strengthened security forces.

From then on, the success rate of pirate attacks dropped sharply.

Everyone originally thought that things would continue like this, but unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred.

A group of pirates from the Emerald Kingdom actually passed through the Hurricane Strait and came to the Golden Duchy. They also went straight to the Three Daughters Islands with a purpose, and completely integrated the place with their powerful strength.
