Chapter 250 248: Fishing Enforcement (Subscription Request)
Roy actually knew that the death of Marquis Carlisle would have a huge impact like an earthquake!
Nolan Carlyle, not Roy Raymond!
He has been the Marquis of Carlisle for over ten years!
He was known for his tough and ruthless methods, not only internally but also externally. All the nobles were afraid of him!
He is also the undisputed leader of the alliance of the three old nobles. Without him, even if Marquis Castro and Marquis McKinley get together, it will be difficult for them to have any centripetal force.
Most importantly, although the Carlisle family is the weakest among the top nobles in the Norman Duchy,
But his family, the Carlyle family in the Bonaparte Empire, is not weak at all!
In the Bonaparte Empire, being able to hold the title of duke at least means that there has been a truly legendary strongman in this family.
That is why the Marquis of Carlisle dares to be so unscrupulous!
The death of such a great man would definitely cause a stir in the Norman Duchy no less than the destruction of Lion Castle and the extinction of the direct bloodline of the Raymond family.
But even so, Luo Yi's desire to kill has never changed.
He is a man who repays kindness tenfold, and if he has a grudge, he cannot avenge it immediately but will remember it from morning to night.
In fact, if he had Oliveira by his side, with the combined combat power of the two of them, it would definitely be easier to fight against the half-dragon Hraesvargur than to fight alone against the Scourge.
But not Chloe!
Seeing the opportunity, he would feel unhappy and his thoughts would be confused if he didn't kill the Marquis of Carlisle.
However, now that the thing has been done, he will just take on the waves and backlash that come with it!
He has succeeded in starting from scratch, so who is he afraid of?
Of course, the Norman Duchy is not the Habsburg Empire after all, and it does not have a complete communication magic system. Naturally, the speed of information dissemination will be slower!
The uproar that is about to be set off also needs time to brew, commonly known as, let the bullets fly for a while.
But at this moment, Luo Yi doesn't care!
The Carlisle family has been dealt with, but there is still one enemy of the Lion King!
Silver Sea, one of the three pirate kings, the Mist Pirates!
…
A few days later.
Silver Sea.
The sun is high in the sky, and the sky is cloudless. The warm sunlight shines on the sea, accompanied by the ups and downs of the waves, creating silver ripples that rise and fall one after another, layer upon layer, and stretch into the distance.
The name of Silver Sea is probably derived from this.
Of course, although the Silver Sea is called a "sea", it is actually just an inland lake, surrounded by the Old World and the Kingdom of Sardinia, but its area is slightly larger.
And because it is just an inland lake, the wind and waves are far less exaggerated than those on the endless ocean, making it suitable for sea transportation and transshipment of materials and bulk commodities.
The frequent sea transportation gave rise to the birth of pirates.
They occupied the islands, robbed passing merchant ships, and were hunted down by the navies of various countries.
Anyway, it’s very lively with people coming and going!
Theoretically, there will naturally be no fog in such weather.
But there was a thick fog covering the whole place, floating on the sea without fear of the howling north wind.
Behind this fog, there are more than a dozen pirate ships. Although each has its own characteristics, they are all guided by this fog.
There is no doubt that this is the Mist Pirates and its Pirate Alliance.
However, this time, the number of pirate ships was much smaller.
There were only a dozen or so ships scattered on the sea, far less than the previous grand occasion.
At this moment, in the fog, on the magic ship, in the captain's room, the one-eyed pirate Davis's face looked very bad!
In front of him, a magic mirror stood up, with a black vortex inside, like an endless abyss.
If you stare at it for too long, you will become dizzy and find it difficult to reflect on yourself.
Of course, for Davis, this was the norm and he didn't pay much attention to it at all.
Instead, he bent over his desk and picked up a pen, writing quickly on a piece of letter paper.
However, he seemed not very satisfied. He crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it aside after writing halfway.
He took out another piece of letter paper, pondered for a moment, and began to write.
It was obvious to the naked eye that he wrote very slowly and not much, just like squeezing toothpaste.
Just from here, it is not difficult to find the conflicted mentality of this pirate king.
Davis is indeed very conflicted now!
Because, in a sense, his threat to Siren Harbor has disappeared.
The Habsburg Empire's ironclad ship Emden only fired once, but it did so on the pretext that an imperial merchant ship was attacked.
But the pirates didn't know that!
What they can see is that although Flower Territory has suffered a great loss of strength and the Raymond Family is unable to cope with it, it is a piece of fat meat.
However, their ally, the Habsburg Empire is really not to be trifled with!
They were just pirates, seeking wealth. Without the benefits, many pirates naturally opposed Davis.
Then, one night, a large number of pirates drove away on their pirate ships.
Now, the dozen or so ships that are left are all forced and bribed by Davis and dare not escape.
The problem is that although Davis is famous, he also has the cooperation and support of ordinary people.
Pirates are responsible for plundering, but this is only the first step in the whole process.
Afterwards, you have to find someone knowledgeable in the business to check the goods, sell the goods, keep accounts, purchase supplies, replenish manpower, and even purchase various needs.
It is a whole chain of interests, and it is bound to be in collusion with some bigwigs on the shore.
Sometimes, he would take on some tasks from these big shots and get generous rewards.
Just like this time!
He is definitely not afraid of these people, nor is he unable to afford to offend them, but peace is the most important thing, so of course he will not offend them if he can avoid it.
Therefore, since his mission failed this time, he had to find a way to cover up the matter with some relatively gentle words.
But Davis, the Pirate King of the Silver Sea, also needs to save face, so the art of language is extremely particular!
It took Davis a full half hour to finish writing the letter. He read it again with satisfaction and sealed it in the envelope.
To this end, he even imitated the nobles and made a gold-lacquered fire seal.
A few drops of gold powder were added, and then other wax oils were added. Finally, the ring engraved with the flag of the Mist Pirates was turned over and printed on it.
After doing all this, he carefully examined it again and felt that there was no difference between him and the nobles, so he threw the letter into the magic mirror.
Then he began to think about the current actual situation.
According to the requirements of those bigwigs, it is no longer realistic to completely block the Siren Port.
However, the decline of the Raymond family is undeniable.
Therefore, the most important thing is how to take advantage of the last opportunity to make a fortune.
However, we need to carefully plan what to do specifically!
…
On the other side,
Also on the Silver Sea, dozens of miles away, a merchant ship was sailing through the waves.
From the outside, the ship looks like an ordinary merchant ship with a deep waterline, as if it is fully loaded with cargo.
There were sailors all over the boat, busy as they tried to adjust the angle of the sails to catch the greatest possible wind.
Then turn the rudder, fine-tune the direction, and try your best to increase the speed.
While the pirate alliance organized by the Mist Pirates existed in name only, countless cargo ships were sailing on the Silver Sea, trying their best to transport the detained goods to where they should go.
The trade in the Old World is actually not that developed!
After these fixed routes were suspended, the flower chain suffered huge losses, and the buyers also lost supply.
For example, perfume, an essential daily necessity for the nobility, was in severe shortage.
At this time, after the trade routes were unblocked, those cargo ships were running very fast!
And on this cargo ship, the flag of the Lion Family is flying. In today's Silver Sea, if you don't want to get yourself into trouble, you must never touch the ship under this flag.
Of course, if we encounter the Mist Pirates, that would be a different story.
At the same time, the captain's room was crowded with people!
Besides Loy, there are Oliveira, Iron Knight Phil, Flame Sword Saint Otto, and the third-level extraordinary wizard Walter.
And Ms. Palacios, who was supposed to be in the Mage Tower.
And among the crowd, a magic mirror stood up, and from the deep vortex spinning inside it, a letter was spit out.
Looking at the sealing wax and the cover, it was the letter Davis had just written.
As for why everyone moved here, there is actually a reason!
After the death of the Marquis of Carlisle, the Raymond family obtained all the supplies, including this magic mirror.
To be honest, Luo Yi was very happy, because this radar-like thing was really useful in detecting the enemy situation!
Luo Yi specifically found Walter and asked him to keep it, repeatedly reminding him not to damage it.
Then, Walter brought Roy a surprise, which was a letter from Davis.
The wording is very skillful. It not only explains the actual situation, but also reflects one's own contributions. It also makes the difficulties clear, making it difficult for people to blame him.
However, in Luo Yi's eyes, the whole article said one thing: they actually didn't know that the Marquis of Carlisle had already been defeated!
Come to think of it, although Luo Yi intended to spread the news, the sea is not land, and his whereabouts are uncertain.
Unless there is a special channel, such as this strange magic mirror, there is no way to communicate.
Therefore, it is very normal that he doesn't know that the Carlisle family was defeated!
Then, Luo Yi had a crazy idea!
That’s right, the pirate alliance headed by the Mist Pirates is already dead in name only and basically poses no significant threat.
But the problem is that Luo Yi is not the kind of person who would not fight back after being beaten.
Especially on the east coast of Flower Territory, those people who were hanged could not have died in vain.
If there is a chance, of course we must completely eliminate this group of pirates.
Of course, more importantly, he was actually very interested in the magic ship of the Mist Pirates!
Therefore, Luo Yi assigned the subsequent tasks as quickly as possible, and then took a hundred knights in good condition, took off their armor, carried only weapons, and rode three horses each, and rushed out of the camp without hesitation.
So, in just a few days, Luo Yi led everyone across the entire Flower Territory, from the easternmost end to the westernmost end.
Then, after a brief communication with Ms. Palacios and a meeting with Grand Knight Commander Thor, we got this merchant ship going out to sea.
It is also used as bait for catching pirates.
And Luo Yi affectionately called this operation "fishing enforcement"!
Second update is here!
