Chapter 3: War Means (10)
"Mr. Father: When I received this letter, the Federation of Almani and the Pirate Kingdom may have been on the eve of the war. This time I went to the Pirate Kingdom to study, and as an envoy to Master Father, I personally experienced and heard about the whole process of this incident. I was frightened in my heart, so I wrote it all at once and sorted out the four key points that cannot be fought overnight. This matter is of great importance. I hope Master Father can slow down his troops after reading it, and think twice before acting."
"First: The beginning of this incident was that the Duke of Normandy was bold and secretly supported the thieves and plundered the cargo ships of the Pirate Kingdom. This matter has been asked from several prisoners. From the use of troops to the questioning, we all participated in the whole process. The result is unquestionable and irrefutable. The Almany Federation was unreasonable, and it was natural that the Pirate Kingdom was angry."
"Second: Looking at the princes of the Federation, I think I have few enemies. However, after several challenges, I found that I was not the enemy of Hestein, Bjorn. Scipio had not taken action yet, and it was already here. The pirate kingdom's force was becoming stronger and stronger, and what I saw was even more powerful than the time of Ragna in the past. The pirate kingdom did not recognize our titles in the Federation, nor did we recognize us as nobles. If we fight with them, we may all become prisoners of the lower classes, and be in the same cage with pigs and dogs, and suffer endless humiliation."
"Third: The pirate kingdom has been escorted by merchants in recent years and has been supported by merchants. The supporters of the Duke of Normandy were thieves and were rejected by merchants. This is what people want. If they support the Duke of Normandy, they may secretly collude with the enemy. When the war comes, wherever the army goes, cars, horses, food, swords and armor, they all need to rely on the circulation of merchants. It is not a wise move to offend them at this time."
"Fourth: The Duke of Normandy has a terrifying potion in his hand, which can make people resurrect from the dead. This matter was seen with my own eyes on the battlefield, but we have never heard of it when we were in the Federation. The Duke of Normandy intended to hide it, and his wolf ambition can be seen. The territory of Lord Father's Supreme Being approaches Normandy. If the Duke of Normandy attacks this potion in the future, Lord Father will be the first to be affected. It is better to take this opportunity to get rid of it. We can take advantage of the opportunity to go in and seek the principle of this potion."
"At this moment, I have been detained by the Pirate King in the army. Once a war begins, I will be hostage. However, these four inability to fight are my heartfelt words. They are definitely not forced or compromise. I hope that Master Master of Father can think carefully and discuss with other lords. Do not act irresistibly, so that we can fall into a state of doom."
Eber put down his quill, carefully put the letter into the envelope, and stamped the family seal.
"How is it? Is the letter written?" Bjorn walked in and asked.
"It's written." Bell waved the envelope, "But, how should I send it?"
"Of course I can't send it on the boat. Let's find someone to go to Normandy."
"To Normandy? Such an army?"
Eber pushed the window of the cabin, and through the window, you could see hundreds of long-ships of the pirate kingdom sailing on the sea with them. During the days of suppressing bandits, the army of the pirate kingdom had been assembled. What Eber now saw was only the part that belonged directly to Hestein. There were dozens of troops of the pirate kingdom lords, on the way.
There is no doubt that once such a fleet docked in Normandy, it would mean the beginning of the war.
"I asked my elder brother, and he meant that if you dare to steal things, you must be prepared to be beaten. As for how the Almany Federation reacted, that was the matter of the Almany Federation. The Hero Kingdom could not delay military operations in order to wait for the Almany Federation's reaction."
Bjorn shook his head and signaled that Ebert could do nothing about this.
"Soldiers are very fast. This is the principle of using troops since the eldest brother. I can't say anything about this."
"Then, I can only pray that the war will not be expanded." Eber sighed. "Fortunately, the consul of the Federation of Almani is now the Earl of France. As long as he can withstand the pressure and not end up, things will have room for recovery."
"The south side of Normandy is Paris, the Palace of Versailles, and it is the core of the Ile-de-France region. Will the Count of Ile-de-France really sit idly by?"
"Who knows?" Eber smiled bitterly, "Can you predict the madman's actions?"
"Brother Bjorn, come on the deck!" A pirate ran over, "a fleet appeared in the distance, with the flag of the Duke of Normandy. The King of Heroes made us all ready for battle, including this hired merchant ship!"
"Duke the Duke of Normandy came here on his own initiative?"
Eber jumped up from the chair. He and Bjorn looked at each other, and the things they were anxious about were self-evident: perhaps from this moment on, the war had already begun.
Hestein held a spear and stood proudly on the bow. Above the spear, the iconic blood crow flag of the pirate kingdom was flying.
Compared with the vast fleet behind him, the Normandy fleet that was coming towards him was as small as a fallen leaf in the sea.
"Because we see that our ships are not good at naval battles, do you want to intercept on the sea? Strike with less and hit the strong with weak. No matter what, I will accept this courage."
The cargo ships that dare to hijack the pirate kingdom and dare to use this number of troops to take the initiative to fight. The Duke of Normandy, who has this courage, will definitely not surrender easily.
"Raise the formation, flank and circumvent them," Hestein pointed his spear forward and glared at him, "I don't know how many of them have drunk that kind of potion, but if you can't kill one, you can kill twice, and if you can't kill two times, you can kill three times. Sooner or later, they will be driven away by us."
"Boss! Something is not right!" A pirate pointed forward, "Look, all these ships have fired white flags!"
"white flag?"
"King of Heroes! Don't attack!" A man on the oncoming ship waved his hand and shouted at this side, "We've sent all the stolen gold to you!"
Hestein's eyebrows trembled slightly.
The ship approached. The man who waved his hand smiled and stepped onto Hestein's boat. But Hestein didn't buy it at all. As soon as his feet landed, Hestein grabbed his neck and pressed him to the ground.
"Well... Hero King, let your hands loosen, I'm here to pay back the gold."
The man pulled Hestein's finger and his face turned red because of poor breathing.
"Are you the messenger of the Duke of Normandy?"
"It's... the Duke asked me to return the gold, and I hope the two families will not make a big fight."
"Return the gold? Do you snatch our cargo ship and think that this will calm things down?" Hestein's hand was getting stronger and stronger. "If you want peace, you can bring the head!"
"The head is brought...." The messenger rolled his eyes and shouted at the people on his boat, "Cough... hurry up... take it..."
"King of Heroes, look." A man on the boat panickedly opened a wooden box in his arms, and a bloody head was displayed inside. "This is the head of the Baron of Euro. According to the investigation of the Duke of Normandy, the Baron of Euro has arbitrarily supported the thieves in the name of the Duke of Normandy and committed crimes, so he has been sentenced!"
"You said... it was the Baron of Eurotown?"
Hestein relaxed his hand slightly, but still stared at the messenger with a stern face.
"Yes! The Duke also said that if the Hero King feels not relieved enough, he can capture all the family members of the Baron E Town. Let the Hero King give you a blow!"
"What's the use of me wanting those trash?" Hestein pointed his hand at the fleet behind him. "The army will be dispatched, and it will cost a thousand dollars a day. The Duke of Normandy will kill someone at will, and he wants me to withdraw?"
"The Duke also said that he was not managing his vassals effectively and he was willing to bear all the military expenditures spent on this trip."
"What if I'm still not satisfied?"
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the hero king to withdraw his troops for the time being," the envoy said, "because the King of the British is now being a guest at the Duke of Normandy. If both sides fight and accidentally hurt the King of the Knights, there will probably be many inconveniences."
“Alfred???”
Hestein could not understand what was going on. He had made an appointment with Alfred. Once the war with Almany broke out in full swing, Britain would attack the Almany Federation with the Kingdom of Heroes. But the war was about to begin, but he ran to the opposite side to be a guest.
——And what this means is self-evident.
Seeing Hestein's appearance, the messenger breathed a sigh of relief and knew that the negotiations had come to an end.
"There is another thing that has nothing to do with our Duke. Someone asked our Duke to bring you a message:
The messenger cleared his throat and said:
