The next morning, in the main hall of Jagun Palace.
That was the morning of the second day after the celebration. Although Sean had gone to bed late last night, he still rushed to attend the council meeting.
Because today we will discuss the problem of facing the southern pirates.
After a whole night of interrogation, a lot of information has been obtained from the other party. It can be almost concluded that the pirates are supporting them behind the scenes, and the only ones who can pay so much money are probably the wealthy pirates.
Today's topic is how to deal with pirates!
After all, it has extended to the point of hindering the normal relations between the two countries. If Jagun does not investigate it this time, it will not only be a loss of face, but it will even have a bad impact on the country of Kserk.
That was a diplomat who died in his own country...
Although later Sean learned that it was actually his mentor Lucille who killed the other person.
What's more, she actually said at that time that she didn't know that the Jagun royal family had anything to do with her, and originally wanted to push the matter onto the bandit group so that the empire would not look for her.
Who knew that the prince of the empire was himself!
But there is nothing I can do now. The person has been killed, and I can only pretend that I didn’t know anything.
Even the two tributes that have already been obtained must never be taken out again.
Let's just pretend this never happened and blame it all on the pirates and the wizarding society...
In the hall, everyone fell into deep thought after listening to Commander Oshalia's report.
"That's roughly the situation, High King. But they still insist that they didn't take the tribute that was robbed." Osalia added.
"Could it be someone else who did it?"
At this time, some ministers also stood up and asked questions.
"Other people, like what?"
"In addition to this group of pirates, there are other forces that are also eyeing the tribute." said the man.
"You mean there are many rebellious forces in Jagun?"
"I...that's not what I meant."
After just a few words, they started to argue with each other again.
Ever since the antagonism between the three heirs began to become more and more apparent, Sean felt that the confrontation in the hall was also beginning to intensify.
Even if the master behind him does not say anything, the subordinates who follow him will do it for their own interests.
It's a way of flattering and seeking credit!
Anyway, it was similar in Oro City, and there were fewer conflicts between factions.
"Okay!"
The Sun King gave an order to quiet the hall, and suddenly looked at Sean's side.
"Do you think they're hiding something... Sean?"
He was the first one to call his name!
"Maybe so. As long as they don't reveal the whereabouts of the tribute, they can stay in the cell and continue to wait for interrogation. Although it is painful, they won't die so soon. Many mercenaries who have means of survival will do this." Sean had seen it before when he personally interrogated the leader of the Wild Hunt Mercenaries. He really wanted to find any loophole to exploit.
"But even if it's truly out of their hands, it's possible that some of them have hidden it. A makeshift team like this lacks trust, and betrayal is common... Furthermore, our key isn't these two tributes, but how to deal with those pirates."
Sean tried his best to shift the focus of the matter to people, so that the matter of the tribute would be slowly forgotten.
"you're right."
The Sun King looked at the other ministers in the hall.
"It's time to clean up the mess at sea. We just acquired the right to use the Dansu Port a few months ago. If we allow these pirates to act recklessly, they will become even more lawless in the future."
Everyone could hear that the Sun King was planning to send troops.
Before anyone else volunteered, Sean stepped forward for the first time.
"Uncle, I would like to request to personally lead the imperial army to defeat those pirates."
As soon as these words came out, many ministers in the hall were surprised!
"You want to go?" asked the Sun King in disbelief.
Jagong was a powerful country with many soldiers and generals... In daily battles, there was no need for the emperor to go to the battlefield in person, and even the princes did not need to go there in person.
Moreover, in places like war, the king's orders would sometimes interfere with the generals' judgment and lead to failure. Therefore, even Mudan and Seria did not dare to easily request to lead the army to fight abroad, otherwise they would have gone there long ago during the expedition to Borg.
"Yes."
"but……"
"I have experience in war, and I believe I can lead the team to fight the enemy," said Sean.
Prince Sean, who has always been very low-key in the eyes of everyone, actually chose to take the initiative to request to lead the team...
Many people began to guess what it meant.
But no matter what, it was the royal brothers and sisters who stood up to oppose it.
"That's not good, brother. Although you've commanded several wars before, they were all on land... But the sea is different. We, the royal family, try our best to avoid interfering with the generals' battles. If we lead to defeat, it will not only bring disgrace to the nation, but also embolden those pirates."
"Next year, they may simply ignore our warships and focus on hijacking merchant ships. That will cause greater losses to the country," Mu Dan said first.
Both Mudan and Seria are aware of their own abilities. They can do things like saving people, but participating in war is another matter.
The losses caused by the slightest carelessness are not something you can afford.
Even though the royal descendants can be exempted from many punishments, their prestige and fame will decline... But on the contrary, if they succeed, they will become heirs with military merits.
Although Adak has been stable in recent years, the people are still very warlike.
When Sean returned, many people spread rumors that he had defeated the Desert Gold Group before, and he hoped he would succeed this time too.
It is estimated that the status in the minds of the people will be very high!
Therefore, even if you cannot go, you cannot let the other person go.
Don't miss even the smallest opportunity...
"I'm sure." Sean said.
"But... brother, control is not a condition for winning a war, especially a naval battle. I think we should let commanders who are adapted to naval battles go. If you are worried, you can send the Royal Guards Sky Guard over." Mu Dan said.
It's a concession.
Melsusa, the commander of the Royal Guards Sky Guard, is the Queen's former disciple, and all the ministers believe that she is on Prince Sean's side.
"It doesn't matter which general goes. I'm confident I can annihilate the pirates."
There was no time to give in, so Sean simply kept seizing opportunities.
