Chapter 608 You Don’t Deserve It
To be honest, Rand had not expected to be surrendered by the pirate gang of the Kingdom of Boren.
Rand envisioned many scenarios.
For example, the most likely scenario is that when they run out of ammunition and food, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Bolen will present the pirate king's head to the king of the Kingdom of the Moon, and then surrender.
To be honest, in Rand's eyes, this is the most likely scenario. After all, the Pirate King decided to escape before the capital of the Kingdom of Boren was breached.
That must be a weak but stubborn person.
Someone who wanted to fight Rand to the end but was too weak to defend the city until the last moment.
As for other possible situations now, it is nothing more than fighting to the end, or continuing to retreat to preserve the fire and strive to turn defeat into victory one day.
The only thing that Rand found difficult to understand was the current situation.
The fleet of the Kingdom of Bolen charged towards Rand's fleet, but the king of the Kingdom of Bolen came to Rand and asked for surrender.
Rand looked at the former king of the Borun Kingdom, now the "former" Borun Pirate King: "You said, can you surrender with the Borun Kingdom's fleet?"
The former king of the Bolen Kingdom lowered his head, not meeting Rand's gaze, and could only curse in his heart: "Those untouchables and stupid nobles who can't see the situation clearly and don't understand my great strategy!!!"
When the former king tried to surrender, he was opposed by many nobles and soldiers, but he also had support.
The former king remembered the scene clearly.
A noble explained the pros and cons to him: "We retreated when the war with the Frost Moon Kingdom started. We retreated when we were defending the royal city. Now, the people of the Moon Phase Kingdom are right in front of us. What's the point of retreating again? And if we surrender, will all our past sacrifices be null and void?"
Those who surrendered said that the past was past, and now they were out of ammunition and food, and the enemy had the terrifying White King as a helper. Although resistance was not impossible to succeed, it would inevitably result in heavy losses.
Are they going to fight for this glory and inheritance that now seems illusory?
Then, the bargaining chips that the former king of the Kingdom of Bollen thought he had were split. Some fled, some vowed to fight to the death, and only a not-so-large number were willing to surrender with the king.
However, the former king still said to Rand: "Your Majesty, please believe me, I can conquer them again."
Although the former king still ridiculed Rand's arrogant attitude in his heart and vowed to teach Rand a lesson one day, he did bow his head now.
There was no hint in his tone that Rand was the murderer of his father.
Rand felt a little bored.
Now it might be a relatively better option to subdue this idiot, make him a target of the resentment of his subordinates, and have a relatively nice title of commanding these fleets.
But there are still risks in doing so. For example, if we leave behind an orthodox royal bloodline of Boren, when Rand has other enemies in the future, will they jump out to restore their country?
Compared with such risks, Rand would certainly not choose to let the former king go, not to mention that after rational thinking, Rand really looked down on the former king who betrayed his father and ran away.
"You don't deserve it." Rand gave a concise answer.
The former king wanted to look up and explain again.
But Rand's sword had already penetrated the back of his head and emerged from his mouth.
The last thing he heard was two words Rand said calmly: "Retarded."
Blood and brain matter crawled along the blade.
Rand ordered his men to control the guards who had followed the former king to surrender to him, and then he and the White King went outside to face those who were persuaded by the former king to surrender and those who had wanted to surrender in the first place.
"Your king tried to assassinate me, but now he has been killed. However, I will not vent my anger on you. I will give you normal surrender benefits."
Rand announced loudly, and the audience was silent.
Ships sank and floated, and the Boren Kingdom fleet that was still charging had already engaged in battle with Rand's fleet.
Even if these fleets have less than one-third of the total number of ships, they are still not something Rand's fleet can easily resist in a desperate battle.
Rand frowned and looked at the battlefield: "I guess we will be broken through in a while."
Then Rand looked at Bolan, who was already ready to show his skills, and said, "Go ahead."
Bolan waved.
Huge ice pillars rose from the bottom of the sea, blocking the front of several enemy ships.
But the fleet ships showed no fear.
The commander of the remaining troops of the Borun Kingdom roared an order: "Charge forward and smash these ice pillars. If you stop the ship, you will surely die."
Rand's fleet was also approaching.
These ships, equipped with the originally developed Greek fire, shot out high-pressure streams of fire when they approached, setting the enemy's wooden ships on fire in an instant.
The enemy's ships were soon transformed into blazing fireships.
The enemy's fire ships broke through the ice pillars and were damaged, but the ships behind them had a path.
The burning fireship gradually began to shake and began to sink. Rand's fleet continued to press forward, but the enemy was not afraid.
What happened next was the most direct and fiercest collision.
In theory, Rand still has the advantage here, because the ships it sent into battle this time are all covered with iron sheets and equipped with rams.
Although the ships of the allies recruited by Rand did not have such configuration and could be used for collision, the fleet in the front was naturally the best configured.
The metal ram easily crushed the figurehead of the enemy ship.
The high-quality oak hull still put pressure on the structure of our own ship.
The high-speed ships, with their weight of hundreds of tons, collided mercilessly.
The keel of multiple layers of laminated oak made a dying groan.
The planks tilted, and the sailors and soldiers aboard the ship desperately clung to any structure they could get their hands on.
The Greek fire oil tank of one of our own ships was even pierced by the embedded enemy wooden boards, and the spurting kerosene rose above the surging sea.
Then, huge icicles rose from the sea again.
Keep stopping enemy ships.
Without the help of the White King, even if it was only one-third of the rebellious pirate fleet, Rand would not be able to stop it.
All I can say is that the Pirate King of the Kingdom of Bolen really played a good hand of cards badly.
Even though he fought well, he might not be able to defeat Rand.
Although the enemy fought desperately, the war was over in about two days.
Bolan returned to the ship to rest.
Rand looked at Bolan, who looked a little tired, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's much better than when we faced the orcs and the Ice Phoenix." Bolan said in a relaxed tone.
That should be the end of it, then.
Even with Borlan's help, it would be difficult to resist the desperate resistance ships of the Kingdom of Bolan.
Therefore, a part of the Borun Kingdom fleet that escaped at the beginning was not completely stopped in time.
In general, this pirate group of the Kingdom of Boren should no longer be a too troublesome enemy. We can just use our own growing fleet to chase and intercept them. It can also be a good opportunity for the novice sailors and naval soldiers to practice.
"So these captured fleets of the White Kingdom and the Moon Kingdom, in other words, we each get half?" Bolan asked.
However, there are still many fleets of the Kingdom of Borun that surrendered directly because of the former king. Such fleets are considered to be considerable wealth.
"You take 70% and I take 30%." Rand disagreed with the half-and-half distribution.
"Don't be so polite. Your people will handle more this time," said Bolan.
"But I can't afford to maintain so many fleets right now." Rand said helplessly, "So you should take more to help me maintain them, and I will buy more later."
Bolan blinked his eyes: "You're taking advantage of me, right? ...Okay."
Now Bolan has basically confirmed that the heir is Ellie or Ellie's child.
Berlan himself also had a clear romantic relationship with Rand.
So now the White Kingdom and the Moon Kingdom are gradually deepening their ties.
Although we are still far from being indistinguishable from each other, there is no problem in helping out with this kind of thing.
Just like the initial stages of many of the White Country’s commercial modules are provided free of charge by Rand.
…
Just when Bolan and Rand were discussing the division of the spoils of the Bolan Kingdom fleet.
In the prison of Champs Elysées Kingdom.
Ranta and Chad are bored.
"Are they just going to lock us up like this? They don't even give us any punishment or anything." Ranta said these boring things.
Chad continued, "They're not going to send us illegal immigrants and then send us back to our country."
Normally, Chad would not answer Ranta's meaningless questions in this way.
But being in jail was too boring. There was nothing I could do in prison, so I could only chat with Ranta.
The Champs Elysees Kingdom would not really execute the two envoys, but it would certainly not let them go. After all, they had embarrassed many nobles of the Champs Elysees Kingdom.
"Do you think we can try to escape from prison?" Ranta asked, looking at the sturdy prison gate.
"This is the most heavily guarded prison in the Champs Elysees Kingdom. Imprisoned here are the most vicious and difficult to deal with criminals in the Champs Elysees Kingdom. I suspect the person guarding the door may very well be a top-level professional." Chad said the success rate of the jailbreak was slim.
Even with the weapons and equipment that Rand had arranged for them, as well as the strong flying horses and cattle, they still failed to escape successfully. Now all their weapons and equipment have been stripped away and they are locked up in a prison, and the prison gatekeeper may be a top-level professional.
There is no possibility of escape.
"Are we going to stay in prison here forever?" Ranta said this was too uncomfortable.
Chad said that he had to endure Ranta's crazy remarks, which was even more uncomfortable than Ranta.
In fact, Ranta and Chad are not even afraid of death. When they ruined the possible cooperation between Champs Elysees Kingdom and Bolan Kingdom, they were completely reckless.
But now they are not allowed to do more and are locked up in prison, which makes them feel that their time is being wasted.
The Moon Kingdom is now in a state of disrepair and there are still many things they need to do.
Right at this moment.
All the prisoners in this prison filled with extremely vicious criminals felt the flash of murderous intent.
The murderous intent was so fierce and yet so short-lived.
It was as if the soul was briefly frozen by the coldness of the underworld.
However, such a brief murderous intent makes people feel like a dream or an illusion.
Ranta and Chad looked at each other seriously.
Their combat proficiency was pretty good. Although their professional level could only be considered as that of a superior professional, their long-term training, study, and life-and-death battles still gave them terrifying combat qualities.
While the other prisoners were still doubting whether everything that had just happened was an illusion, Ranta and Chad were already ready to fight for their lives.
Soon, the originally noisy prison gradually became quiet.
This quietness is not because people are talking less or making fewer noises.
But the space between heaven and earth seems no longer suitable for the transmission of sound.
The light also dimmed. Although the torches were still burning and the flames could be seen clearly, they were perceived in the mind as having become dimmer.
"Tada tada." The footsteps, which should not have been clear, were clearly heard by all the prisoners present.
Ranta and Chad decisively gave up their resistance and began to pretend to be just like ordinary prisoners.
The initial vigilance is due to alertness.
But the current scene made them clearly realize that this was an enemy that they could never defeat.
Perhaps all the nightmares they had encountered in their dreams were not as terrifying as the enemy appearing here now.
"Bang." The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Now the place has become truly silent, and all the prisoners have held their throats to prevent themselves from making any sound.
Therefore, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground is extremely clear, and this sound allows them to hear clearly that it is the weight of a person.
He is theoretically the highest-ranking guard in this prison.
Ranta and Chad both thought so.
However, from beginning to end, this prison, which did not have good sound insulation, did not transmit any fighting sounds.
It was obvious that the battle was over in an instant, and this top-level guard was eliminated before he could even make a sound.
As for the other prison guards and miscellaneous staff of the prison.
They were like prisoners in prison. They dared not make any sound, nor even move. They even had to try their best to suppress their breathing.
So as not to disturb this horrible nightmare with overly obvious breathing sounds.
"Da da da."
The footsteps were approaching.
The figure stopped in front of Ranta and Chad.
Ranta and Chad both knew the man in front of them.
Elsa Amberlette, the champion of the Den Cooking Competition when it was still called the Den.
Of course, they are also well aware of the other identity of this cooking competition champion.
Senior officials of the Sanctuary Force who are in charge of punishment and security, inspectors, and intelligence officers.
Ranta and Chad were often on field duty, so they did not meet the inspector very often.
However, I had taken this inspector's course during my training, so I am not unfamiliar with him.
But in their impression, Inspector Elsa was a kind person despite her dull expression.
It was completely different from the horror they had just felt.
Even until now, they still found it hard to believe that the terrifying atmosphere just now was caused by one of their own, Elsa, the inspector of the Sanctuary Force.
They knew Elsa was powerful, but was she actually so powerful that it was terrifying? (End of this chapter)
