Chapter 628: The Charge Coffin was really created?
After Zeus waited until Zoe and Richard left, he did not call Isaac to ask about the situation immediately - he was neither in Blood Harbor nor in Castel, but on the Empire side.
After regaining the North, Isaac and his Ash Alliance were completely connected with Castel. This intelligence organization was thriving in the Empire and even had enough resources to support the Resistance.
After a short rest in Castel, Isaac returned to the Empire, leaving behind several channels for messaging.
If Caster really clashed with the Empire, at least obtaining intelligence would not be as difficult as it was in the North.
Hughes sent an inquiry to Isaac through an informant, and a response would come soon. Hughes himself thought for a moment and rang the bell on the table.
"Master Hughes." Connor gently pushed open the door.
"Prepare the boat. I'm going to Blood Harbor."
"Okay, do you want to use it?"
"No!" Xius's face darkened and he interrupted immediately.
He knew what Connor wanted to say. He had a private boat, and the old butler wanted to ask if he wanted to take it.
Actually, this was done by Monica. She somehow got a hold of a design drawing that Tata had rejected before, and immediately made a prototype ship.
Building a ship is nothing, Castel has no shortage of steel. When Monica submitted the application, Hughes didn't pay attention and approved it casually.
He thought, it's just a boat, so even if it sinks, it doesn't matter. Tata has sunk so many boats, hasn't he? He might as well give the kid some practice.
As a result, not only did it not sink, it was also able to drive. After several attempts, it indeed achieved the design purpose.
The only bad thing is that it uses the design of nine snakes pulling the coffin
Yes, that’s the charging coffin.
When Xius saw this ship, he felt terrible. This ship that was so explosive in Nini's report actually existed in real life.
The banshees also kindly invited him to ride on them. Zeus originally wanted to stop this farce, but on second thought, he agreed.
Just changed the test driver to Tata.
On the day when the Charge Coffin was launched, the dock was packed with people, and many people were squeezed into the sea to watch the sea trial.
Anyway, there are banshees in the sea, so you can't die.
It is said that even the sunken ships in the sea almost didn’t float up to see.
Hughes could no longer remember the specifics of that day, he only remembered that Tata howled like a coyote in a storm generator.
Since then, the ships he designed have become much more normal.
The past was too painful to recall. Anyway, Zeus had an extra boat. If he went to Blood Harbor, theoretically, taking the Charge Coffin would be the fastest. Therefore, every time Connor was in a hurry to go out, he would ask.
Zeus would rather swim to Blood Harbor than ride in the Charge Coffin.
Finally, Hughes boarded a cargo ship that was about to depart. Blood Harbor was not far from Castel, and there were many ships coming and going.
This time I went to Blood Harbor mainly to visit the prince.
The letter sent to Zeus was also received by the prince. The Secret Order had spies all over Blood Harbor, so they naturally noticed this matter a long time ago.
When Hughes arrived at Blood Harbor, the prince was already waiting at the dock.
Zeus raised his eyebrows as he looked at the prince and his companions at the dock. You know, it was getting late now, and he couldn't possibly stay here forever, right?
"How did you know I would take this ship?"
"Of course it's this letter. Just calculate the time it takes to deliver it to you and then check the freighter's schedule." The prince shrugged and handed over the letter in his hand.
Xius just flipped through it briefly and raised his head: "Exactly the same."
"That's interesting. This isn't the place to talk."
The prince and Hughes came to the customs building near the dock together and jumped into the elevator together. The prince looked around with some envy.
“Good stuff, good stuff”
"The principle of this thing is not complicated, and the cost is not high. How many sets should I give you?"
"The cost isn't high, but we still need maintenance. The steam engine needs someone to look after it, and we'll need a separate team. It would be better to put those people back in the factory to increase production capacity. Unlike Castel, I'm short on manpower here."
The prince said with a smile, then changed the subject: "Why don't you leave me an office here."
".Alright."
Xius looked a little strange. Why did it feel like he had this plan from the beginning?
Although the prince had been in close contact with Castel before, he had always maintained a considerable degree of independence. It was true that he handed over Blood Harbor to Hughes, but his subordinates had been training their own team.
It was clear that he had no intention of becoming Castel's vassal.
Why did you come up to me this time?
The Customs Building is one of Hughes' main offices in Blood Harbor. If the prince really has an office here, it will be much more convenient for him to meet with Hughes.
Xius narrowed his eyes and his gaze suddenly stopped on the letter.
"Are you planning a war with the Empire?"
This is the most reasonable explanation. Blood Harbor is not only developing on Zeus' side. The prince's forces are also developing in an orderly manner. They have all passed the most difficult reconstruction period. There is no reason to suddenly give up independent development at this time.
The most likely reason for upgrading the level of cooperation with Castel is war.
Caster successfully controlled the entire North, which must have put a lot of pressure on the prince. Now the letters sent by the empire, Fire Moth, Lina, Beatrice, almost every character has a close connection with Caster.
The prince may not know the details of the matter, but he knows that if Castel conquers the empire, he will probably have no place on this continent.
Zeus glanced at the prince. Given his ambition, he was probably going to declare war first.
"I can't hide it from you. Yes, I want to go back to the Rhine and take a look. This time I want to break in."
The prince said meaningfully.
These words were somewhat tentative. If he was Prince William, then the assassin of the Queen would have stepped into the Rhine again with dignity.
If she were Isabella, she would reign over her own empire again.
Too bad Hughes doesn't care.
Whoever the prince is, it will not affect Caster's future.
"We're here."
Seeing that Hughes looked unmoved, the prince gave a helpless smile and pointed to the floor outside the elevator. He had been here before and knew where Hughes' office was.
The two of them seized the opportunity and jumped down together.
After entering the office, Connor served them a cup of hot tea and then turned to leave, closing the office door behind him.
These are some of the places with the highest security levels in Blood Harbor, and they can speak with confidence.
Hughes didn't beat around the bush: "It seems you are really ready for war? It's been a year already, and I heard you've recruited quite a few people recently."
