Marin has been demoted to the second-class citizen of the family. The first-class person is now our Lord Caesar, that pink little guy...
Now, the whole family is surrounded by little Caesar, while Marin is left aside. Mrs. Mary and Angela's mother Lucrezia take turns holding little Caesar. Of course, the fake mother-in-law, Mrs. Nelson, also came to show up. However, members of the Hoffman family understand that Mrs. Nelson is fake and Lucrezia is real.
However, if they were beaten to death, Marin's father-in-law was actually the black bishop wanted by the current pope. If he knew, he might be scared...
Archbishop Rovere is a clergyman and it is not convenient to see his grandson. However, he often sneaks over from behind to see his grandson at night...
Archbishop Rovere is 58 years old and is at the age of playing with his grandchildren. He has no sons and only three daughters. Unfortunately, the eldest daughter died prematurely, otherwise she would have had a child. Now, the second daughter has given birth to a son, Archbishop Rovere is also very happy.
However, he was too sensitive to his identity and was afraid of being discovered and reported to the Holy See. Therefore, in order to see his grandson, he entered the back door of the palace in the middle of the night. Moreover, recently, he moved from the Frisian Islands to an inconspicuous courtyard in the north of the city to facilitate entering the palace to see his grandson.
Felice seemed very jealous of her sister giving birth to a son. It just so happened that Marin was not suitable for bed with Angela during this period. So Felice also pestered Marin and wanted a baby. But is this something that he wanted? Marin was speechless, but Felice immediately called Marin's heart-wrenching "brother-in-law" and immediately let Marin's bones soft... So...
Although he was a little uncontrollable in life, Marin still did not forget to do the work. He estimated that the soldiers on Fuerteventura on the Canary Islands should also adapt to the local climate. It was time for him to set out there to command the battle...
In addition to going to this battle in person, Schwartz also participated. After all, Marin wanted to train Schwartz into a marshal. So, he must have the field.
In addition to the lancers composed of 1,000 wandering knights from the Teutonic Kingdom, Marin also sent 1,000 infantry from the local area. Among these thousand infantry, 300 were musketeers, and the rest were spearmen.
The soldiers had arrived on Fuerteventura Island long ago, and Marin felt that it was almost time for him to set off. So he said goodbye to his reluctant family in the palace...
"Dear, what do you need to fight a war? Schwartz can't solve it alone? How dangerous the battlefield is..." Angela was a little dissatisfied. Although she can't have sex with Marin now, she is not happy to go to fight a war with her husband. How dangerous it is...
"Don't worry, Angela, this time we attacked a small Arab tribe of 4,000 people. 1,000 lancers are definitely enough to defeat them. In addition, I also brought 1,000 infantry to protect myself, so there would be no accident." Marin comforted.
"But... there are pirates on the sea, it's not safe... You go alone now..."
"Correction, it's not me who went alone, but with three warships..." Marin was also a fear of death. It was indeed not safe to go south alone. So, he decided to take the three strongest 500-ton warships in East Friesland to escort him south alone.
These three warships can be said to be the most powerful warships of this era. As long as you don’t encounter the fleet of great powers, you will basically walk sideways. On the Atlantic Ocean, the most powerful fleet is the Portuguese. However, Marin did not publicly turn against the Portuguese, and the Portuguese would not send a fleet to surround him. In addition, his warships had a speed of 10 knots. The Portuguese warships of this era had a speed of only 8 or 9 knots, and were not as fast as Marin’s warships. Even if they could not be defeated, they could escape...
As for pirate ships and other things, it is too late to escape in front of the three fully armed warships, so how dare you provoke?
Before leaving, Marin hugged the pink Caesar, kissed her and said:
"Son, Dad is going to go to war. This is to grab territory for you... In the future, these territory will be left to you. So, I wish me good luck!"
It’s strange that little Caesar woke up from his sleep for some reason, and when he saw Marin, he gave him a smile. Seeing the baby’s smiling face, Marin was drunk...
"What an angel smile!" Marin thought happily.
After handing Caesar to Angela, Marin put on his armor and left the palace without hesitation, and rushed to Port Emden...
In Emden Port, Marin boarded the warship "Hoffman 1". Originally, Marin just wanted to go south with the sailors. But Kahn and Kohler were not relieved, so Kahn took 100 guards and boarded the warship with Marin...
During the voyage, no accidents happened, and the journey was smooth...
In the English Channel, there were pirate ships peeking at it. But when they saw the huge warships lined with artillery, the pirate ship turned around and left without saying a word...
If it were normal, Marin might have followed him to destroy the pirates and show his sense of justice. However, now he is in a hurry to go south and ignores the pirate ships he is peeping.
In fact, Marin could see the details of those pirate ships clearly. Those pirates did not have telescopes. Marin stood on the top of the low ship building and could see clearly the situation on the pirate ship with a telescope. Although they did not hang skeleton weapons, Marin, who had watched pirate movies in his previous life, saw that many of them were wearing scimitars. They could immediately infer that they were pirates...
When entering the Portuguese waters, Marin was actually very guilty. Because he did infringe on the interests of the Portuguese. Not to mention anything else, he sent Columbus to discover India, just to grab the interests of the Portuguese. Moreover, he also gave the navigation chart to Spain, the biggest competitor of Portugal...
If the Portuguese knew the truth one day, they would definitely want to crush themselves...
Therefore, after entering the Portuguese waters, Marin took the banner of Spain. After all, he is also a Spanish Count, so it is reasonable to use the banner of Spain.
However, the Portuguese still sent ships to hang out for a while. Because Marin's three warships were too big and too eye-catching. The Portuguese were very sensitive to navigation and thought that the Spaniards had created a new type of warship. So, they sent clutches to monitor Marin's three large ships.
However, what the Portuguese did not expect was that the Clippers they sent, which could run for 9 knots, could not catch up with Marin's ship. The three battleships, at a faster speed than the Portuguese Clippers, then the Canary Cold Rises quickly moved south and threw away the Portuguese Clippers.
The Portuguese were shocked - the Spanish created a huge and fast new warship...
This news was soon sent to Lisbon, causing great panic among the Portuguese. After all, the Portuguese have always been proud of their maritime advantages. They are not as good as Spain on land, and if they are also behind at sea, they will be completely behind... Then, the Portuguese ordered craftsmen to start developing large ships, striving to develop new large warships that can compete with the "Spanish Warships"...
