Chapter 307 Castel has only friends, no enemies.
The ship that was bound for Blood Harbor came back. When it arrived, it pulled up next to another ship that was bound for Blood Harbor. The sailors on the ship raised several flags and waved them in a certain rhythm.
This is the flag language used at sea. Shouting is only useful when the distance is very close, so flag language is much more convenient.
Soon, the ship on the opposite side withdrew its guard and sent out a famous sailor to respond with flag signals.
Although Castel could not understand the flag signals, he could still see the people on the opposite ship putting away their weapons.
"Looks like we can't fight anymore," Erwin muttered, and walked to the side of the boat, cupping his hands to his mouth.
"What are you talking about? What's going on?" Erwin shouted to the other side.
"Blood Harbor is open to the Earl, please follow us." After a shout from the ship from Blood Harbor, they slowly turned the bow and headed towards the port.
"Is it over like this?" Zoe looked at the ship in front of her with some surprise, still a little confused for a moment.
Seeing how tense they were just now, she really thought they were going to fight, but why did the other side change their attitude after returning to the port? "What's so strange about this? We sent so many Skitarii with weapons to prevent misjudgment - to prevent the other side from misjudging. With the firepower we displayed, the other side couldn't keep us at all, so they naturally became warm and hospitable."
As Erwin spoke, he calmly ordered the Crusaders to put away their weapons.
As long as the gap in strength is big enough, there will be no conflict. As long as there are enough guns in hand, even if the other side is here to rob, they will start doing business obediently.
The sophisticated weapons, the foreign ship without sails, the noisy sound of the steam engine from time to time, everything shows that this ship is special and it looks like it is not easy to mess with.
"Don't worry, Miss Zoe. Your mission is to negotiate with the prince, and my mission is to force him to the negotiation table." Erwin said with a smile.
"Castel has only friends, no enemies. This is what the Lord told me. We are here to enforce the Lord's will."
"Only friends, no enemies," Zoe whispered, looking up at the Skitarii who had put his gun back on his shoulder, and nodded as if she understood.
Soon, Castel's ship docked at Blood Harbor. The Crusaders who were temporarily acting as sailors hurriedly lowered the anchor, and after a brief reorganization, Zoe led the team off the ship.
These Skitarii were carefully selected, and if nothing else, they looked very good. They had just come down from the battlefield, and they looked murderous even when they were standing still in the queue at the dock.
The Blood Harbor had indeed received the news, and the manager of the dock had already brought some harbor guards over in advance, but they were obviously at a loss when seeing the situation in front of them. Those harbor guards usually dealt with only petty thieves, and they might not even dare to offend the gangsters, so they were no match for the neat and stern soldiers.
Even standing still was difficult; most people had already begun to consider retreating, fearing that they would be in trouble if a conflict broke out.
Fortunately, a tall man with long golden hair soon came on horseback from a distance, and the dock manager rushed over as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
The man rode a tall and strong horse, with a team of guards, all of whom were well-equipped and wore shining armor. Although they were traveling on horseback, the team was still well-organized and came and went like the wind.
"Master Galahad, they..."
The steward wanted to step forward and say something, but the man called Galahad didn't even look at him. He rode his horse past him, and the wind he brought almost made the steward fall to the ground.
The expression on his face was as cold as an iceberg, and his long hair was blown by the wind, looking like a ball of golden mist in the sunlight.
Erwin took a step forward inconspicuously and stood in front of Zoe.
Soon, this team of knights arrived in front of the Crusaders. When they were about to collide with them, they pulled the reins sharply and stopped in an orderly manner not far away.
A cavalry charge will bring great pressure to the enemy, and it is difficult to understand the feeling if you have not faced a charge directly.
The tall cavalrymen and the slightly shaking earth were like a wall falling towards them. Most people would be frightened and stunned, while the rest would turn around and run away out of instinct.
Galahad often used his skillful and beautiful riding skills to intimidate the enemy, making it difficult for even the best army to maintain order. In this way, at least he won the first round in terms of momentum.
But Erwin just stood there with his arms folded, and the Crusader behind him didn't move, showing no fear at all.
Just kidding, the ones charging at them not long ago were sea urchin monsters several stories tall. Even the murlocs are much taller than humans. These cavalrymen charging over might be able to compare with the murlocs, but there were only a few of them, and when the murlocs charged, they were all over the mountains and plains.
Not only did the Crusaders not feel nervous, they even made faces at each other with interest, as if they were watching a circus performance.
Galahad frowned secretly, he had just received news that these people who claimed to be from Castel were well-equipped, so he decided to come and see for himself. Unexpectedly, this group of soldiers was even more elite than he thought.
It is already quite rare to be able to maintain order in the face of a cavalry charge, but they were not afraid at all. This can only be seen among veterans who have experienced many battles. Even in the Royal Army, this is an elite force that can be called Guards.
A whole army like this, all equipped with guns, they look like they are already very skilled in using them. If Blood Harbor wants to keep them, it can do so, but it will definitely cost a terrible price.
And why should he be hostile? His lords already have enough enemies. This Caster is isolated overseas and cannot threaten the Principality of Tis. He has such elite soldiers. Wouldn't it be good to have more friends? The cold expression on Galahad's face melted away like snow in spring, and a flower-like smile bloomed again: "Welcome to Blood Harbor, friends of Caster, please follow me."
Erwin poked Zoe quietly, and she came to her senses. She hurried forward to introduce a few words, and then they all left with Galahad.
Only when they sat in the carriage did Zoe breathe a sigh of relief. Erwin shrugged: "See, I told you that Castel only has friends."
Zoe didn't say anything, but her eyes gradually lit up.
She looked at Erwin, then at her mother-in-law beside her. Not far away in the sea was a newly built steamship, and there were banshees patrolling in the sea.
Yes, Castel is a friend of the Principality of Tis, a friend that cannot be refused.
