Chapter 117 Set sail! (Subscribe please!)

Bruno's words made the navy soldiers present excited. Not only the soldiers, but even Admiral Mal Karen and many Idar officials present were eager to try.

After all... when Bruno took out the Order of St. George, which represented the church, this was no longer just a war in Idar! The Holy See in the holy city of Bethlehem was not just the Holy See of the Normans, it was the Holy See of the entire continent!

In fact, before this, although Mal Karen was a real "hawkish" general of Idar, he was still a little worried.

After all, the pirates they are about to face are entrenched in the waters of the Kingdom of Basel. Although the major kingdoms on the continent do not pay much attention to the ocean now, it is too close to the Kingdom of Basel after all!

A fully armed warship belonging to a noble of the Norman Empire was heading to the waters near the Kingdom of Basel to cause trouble! Even though the islands occupied by the pirates did not belong to any kingdom, anyone who heard it would think that this was a very serious diplomatic dispute!

However, if it is under the banner of the church, it is completely different! A nobleman of the Norman Empire, with the support of the church and the illumination of the Holy Light, traveled across the ocean to fight against the heretics entrenched on the deserted islands overseas! To purify those pirates who have committed many crimes! Listen! This is something that only a devout believer can do!

In fact... fighting pirates in the name of the church was an idea that Bruno had just come up with.

Because, as the holder of the Order of St. George, Bruno should be protected by the Crusaders.

So... can it be understood that any army that protects Count Bruno of Idar is a Crusader?

If we follow this logic, then any army under Idar's command can be called a Crusader!

Perfect logic, no problem!

So, this is no longer a war between the pirates and the Idar people! This is a provocation of the pirates to the church and the Crusaders!

After all, in many cases, a suitable reason is enough for Bruno to occupy the moral high ground, at least... this can make his attack on the pirates justified! Everyone present stared blankly at the Order of St. George in Bruno's hand. It turned out that... the burden on their shoulders was so heavy! Even the church thousands of miles away was silently watching him from behind!

"Kill the pirates! Avenge your blood! Long live Lord Idar!"

Not only did someone start shouting, but all the soldiers present shouted out loudly: "Long live Captain Idar!"

Listening to the soldiers' shouts of fighting spirit, Bruno couldn't help but glance at a corner of the soldiers' formation with satisfaction. The atmosphere team he trained had grasped the timing just right. This wave of assists was perfect! After boosting morale and issuing the order to fight the pirates, Bruno didn't need to worry about the rest.

Although Bruno has now become a genuine great wizard-level strongman, Bruno has never thought of going into battle with the soldiers.

After all, as the territory ruled by Idar continued to expand and the oceans under its control continued to expand, Idar's navy had to get used to facing all powerful enemies alone! Otherwise, would Bruno, a noble lord who was a great wizard, have to follow the army around all day to maintain order? This was obviously impossible!

Rather than charging ahead in the name of the great wizard, Bruno would rather stay in the Idar territory and cheer on the Idar soldiers.

After all, the deeper Bruno's understanding of the world becomes, the more superficial his knowledge becomes.

Who knows if there is a master wizard somewhere on the continent?

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Compared to the unpredictable power of magic, Bruno would rather be an ordinary noble lord and farm peacefully!

So... professional matters should be left to professionals. Bruno believed that under the leadership of Admiral Mal Karen and naval adviser Captain Jack, Idar's naval soldiers would be able to give him a satisfactory answer.

Speaking of Captain Jack, after these days of observation, Bruno and Mal Callen have actually made some observations about Captain Jack's character and temperament.

In addition, Captain Jack told the pirate leader Kelvin Prato almost all the information about the ships, the number of personnel, weapons and equipment, as well as other information he knew without any reservation. Therefore, Captain Jack's letter of allegiance was of sufficient weight.

Therefore, under Mal Callen's deliberate propaganda, Captain Jack has become a former pirate captain who was captured by the Idar people, repented, and decided to turn over a new leaf.

Moreover, Jack will serve as the guide of the navy, leading the Idar navy to directly attack the Coral Island, the old base of the great pirate Kelvin Prato!

Therefore, the naval soldiers of Idar County reluctantly accepted the existence of Captain Jack.

…

The three-masted warship "Pioneer" actually set sail a week after it was launched.

After all, the naval soldiers still need time to get familiar with the brand new three-masted warship in front of them.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although Idar's naval soldiers had conducted many simulations before, the warship they used for training was just a captured and stranded pirate ship, which was a world apart from the three-masted warship that had just been launched.

Moreover, only by actually standing on the three-masted warship can the soldiers truly understand what kind of warship they have.

For a moment, every navy soldier was so proud of being an Idarian! It is said that the western part of the empire is the truly wealthy place, but the Idar Territory in the eastern part of the empire is definitely not bad! Not only are the soldiers busy getting familiar with the warships and practicing all the time, but even the logistics personnel of the Idar Navy are not idle at all.

Not only did they prepare a large amount of weapons and equipment for Idar's naval soldiers, they also prepared sufficient food, fodder, fruits and vegetables for Idar's soldiers.

After all, unlike wars fought on land by standing armies, the navy, whether it can win or not, will not be able to return in a short time.

Finally, in the early morning of this day, under the gaze of Bruno and many Idar officials, the three-masted warship "Pioneer", led by Idar Admiral Mal Karen, officially left the naval port and headed towards the Kingdom of Basel!

The target is the lair of the great pirate Kelvin Prato, located on a coral island in Basel's territorial waters!
