Holy Mountain of Light.

"What, Josip and Yelachic went missing with their team?"

Pius VII asked in surprise.

A cardinal and an eighth-level paladin were also a high-ranking leader in the Holy See. If the task of finding lost artifacts was not too important, they wouldn't need to lead the team in person.

“Yes, your majesty!

There are many inconveniences in sea communication. Our contact frequency decreases from the time the team goes to sea.

According to the agreement, we contacted each other every half month, and the fleet also had to purchase supplies for replenishment. Our last contact was in the Kingdom of Hesse.

All kinds of accidents at sea may occur, and it is normal to postpone it for a few days. When it was the agreed time and place, it was not possible to follow it and did not attract our attention.

Until five days ago, there was news that ghost ships appeared in the foggy sea, and the Dalton family's fleet went to sea to encircle and suppress the damage. The Kingdom of Alpha issued a ban and blocked the route.

The destination of Cardinal Josip and Paladin Jelachi's trip was also the Poison Dragon Island in the foggy sea, which attracted the attention of intelligence personnel.

After investigation, it was found that the Dalton family's fleet did leave the sea ten days ago. The fleet is currently stationed on their private islands overseas to rest and have not returned to the port.

The Dalton family has very strict supervision of their islands, and our people cannot penetrate it, and they will not be able to understand the specific situation for a while.

However, judging from the funeral situation in the Dalton family territory, they really suffered heavy losses this time.

Calculate the days, the day when the Dalton family fleet goes out to sea is exactly the time for our people to enter the foggy sea.

If the news of encircling the ghost ship was fabricated by Alpha, then the losses of the Dalton family fleet were likely to be caused by our people fighting them.

The unreasonable thing is that we strictly keep this trip confidential, and our public identity is a pirate. When fighting with the pirates, there is no need for Alpha to cover up the fact that it is obvious.

By the way, Hudson also participated in the battle to encircle the ghost ship with the dragon. According to the news released by the Kingdom of Alpha, they just repelled the ghost ship."

Ulisay explained.

There are eight eighth-level strong men, more than twenty seventh-level strong men, and many of them are good at level 5 and 6th-level experts.

Such a lineup can be used to kill dragons. If it appears on the battlefield, it can destroy some weak countries.

Theoretically, as long as Josip and Jelachic themselves do not commit suicide, they will not die. Even if the team disappeared, no one present thought of the destruction of the entire army.

"The pirate leader responsible for carrying out this mission is called Man Huzi, who is a famous pirate king. He can rank among the top three in the pirate world.

With our help, our strength will not be much weaker than the Dalton family fleet. If you add a Dragon Knight, you may suffer a small loss, but you will definitely not be destroyed.

If you didn't contact you, maybe it was because the fleet had a trek at sea, or it might have suffered a loss in the battle with the Dalton family fleet and was forced to retreat into the foggy sea.

The Kingdom of Alpha ordered the blockade of the route, and it is very likely that our people exposed their identities during the battle, which attracted the attention of Alpha people.

If this is the case, then we must arrange someone to come and receive it as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the team will suffer heavy losses. If they find the artifact and let the artifact fall into the hands of Alpha people, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Blake analyzed.

It is so familiar with the situation, mainly because the pirates of the Barbarian Beard are the chess pieces that the Trial Knights have secretly cultivated.

In order to get some credit, when Bishop Josip came to borrow someone, Blake pushed the barbarian beard out directly.

If the pirates are not strong enough, the team will suffer heavy losses and even the entire army will be destroyed, he will inevitably take responsibility.

"Blake, you're talking lightly. Although the sea power of the Kingdom of Alpha is not very good, it's not paper-like.

Unless we come to the scene in person and send the main fleet over, we will not be able to intimidate them at all.

Calculate the distance, even if our fleet goes out to sea immediately and rushes over as fast as possible, it will take one month.

Considering that various accidents may occur at sea, it is not surprising that even if you walk for two or three months.

It took so long to go on the road. When our fleet rushed over, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be a chance to collect the corpse!"

Gu Lei responded angrily.

All are real problems. The maritime routes in the extraordinary world are not that easy to walk on. If you encounter high-level monsters or sea clans' residences along the way, you have to take a detour.

But the locations of these creatures in the sea are not fixed, and moving is common. So the current maritime routes are changing from time to time.

It’s not that no one wants to solve the problem once and for all, but the ending is a bit embarrassing. The sea is not a paradise for mankind after all. If you run to other people’s territory to cause trouble, you will have to pay the price of bleeding.

The routes cleared by force were soon captured again under the counterattack of the sea tribe.

Anyway, people have a sea to rely on. If they can win, they will fight, and if they can’t win, they will run away. If they want to chase, they must be able to go into the water.

No matter how proficient in water warfare, humans are also land creatures, and there is no way to run into the sea to survive.

After struggling for a few times, after paying a heavy price, everyone has learned their lessons and takes a detour when it’s time to take a detour.

The relationship between humans and sea races has always been bad. Even if they know each other's existence, the two sides rarely contact each other. In the eyes of most humans, sea races are still mysterious creatures.

To be precise, the concept of "sea race" was forcibly named by humans. In essence, all races in the sea play with themselves and have never been truly unified.

Occasionally a great empire appears, and it can only rule a piece of sea. Compared with the vast ocean, it is like a drop in a warehouse.

"snort!"

"It's easy to pick on tricks, are you going to come up with a solution?"

Blake said angrily.

Whether the rescue plan can be feasible does not matter, the key is to take action. Political things often need not only depend on the results, but also on the process.

Now that the old rival has identified the loopholes in the rescue plan, he has suddenly forced him to an embarrassing situation. If he had known that something would happen to the team looking for a magic weapon, he would not have mixed in.

"This matter is simple, I directly sent someone to show off to the Kingdom of Alpha to let them withdraw from the blockade and release our people.

It is now in the period of the mainland war, and the Alpha Kingdom is full of trouble, and there is no leisure to intensify the conflict between us.

On the one hand, when the fleet goes north, it must adopt the attitude of solving the problem by force; on the other hand, it can solve the problem through negotiation and negotiation, at most it can provide them with a batch of strategic materials for compensation.

Use both soft and hard skills, and as long as the news about the artifact is not leaked, there will be no major problems."

Gu Lei said calmly.

...

In the capital, looking at the data in his hand, Hudson suddenly understood why the Military Affairs Department had to urge him to come over and take charge of the overall situation every day.

In the last war, the treasury of the Alpha Kingdom was empty. In the past two or three years, most of them have been busy filling the gap.

The storage of various strategic materials is at an extremely low level. If the war is ignited, the kingdom can only extend his hands to the nobles from all over the country.

Unfortunately, the nobles have had a hard time. The newly recovered northern Xinjiang provinces are in the worst situation, and each noble lord is in a situation where they are unable to make ends meet.

Several provinces affected by the war are currently in a state of recovery. It is estimated that they are still doing well when they send troops, and they will definitely have no hope of asking for money and food.

The main ones who have the ability to provide supplies to the kingdom are the central and southern provinces of the kingdom. It is still unknown how much supplies can be provided, and it is impossible to have more than the last war.

In addition to being able to fight against orcs, the Alpha Kingdom was not only good at fighting, but also countries in the Human Alliance were behind their backs.

Now the countries in the mainland are in war, and very few can provide strategic material support to the Alpha Kingdom.

Even if everyone takes the overall situation into consideration and can sell some strategic materials, the quantity cannot be too large, and the price will most likely float in the sky.

The war is about money and food. There is neither money nor food in the treasury. Even if the kingdom grits its teeth, it will not last long.

"We must fight quickly!"

After this thought came to his mind, Hudson secretly called Afiero a treacherous man.

If the Ministry of Military Affairs dares to propose such a combat plan, it will definitely be slandered.

Anyone with a little bit of military knowledge knows that the quick battle and quick decision-making style is obviously more suitable for the strong against the weak.

As the weak side, facing the threat from the three major alien races, what is the confidence of the Alpha Kingdom to fight and decide quickly?

If you can't handle it, you have to do it. The situation is so bad, it is not surprising that the Ministry of Military Affairs requires concentrated power.

"Your Excellency, I've lost a big trouble for me!"

Hudson said angrily.

They are all people on the same boat, so it is definitely not enough to give up the show. If he doesn't go up and takes the lead, he doesn't know what will happen.

Even if you have no chance of winning, it would be better to lose all the wealth of the kingdom in your own hands than to lose your life with others in a confused manner.

Thinking of this, Hudson felt more and more that the kingdom should sell the "Scepter of Glory". Unfortunately, the royal family could not agree, and the nobles in the country would most likely oppose it.

If you dare to make such suggestions, religious people can beat him to death. Everyone has been preparing to set up another company for countless years. How can you give up just by saying that you give up?

"Ha ha……"

"Marson, you can do more hard work! The current situation is indeed very complicated, but with your ability, you will definitely be able to find a way to break the situation!"

Grand Duke Efiero said awkwardly.

If he had a choice, he would not give up his dominance. On the surface, he made such a choice to take into account the overall situation, but in fact he still did not want to bear the responsibility for defeat.

"The Principality of Omega has fallen, and the Principality of Shillong is also on the way to fall. The Kingdom of Light has lost more than half of its territory...

Judging from the current situation, the overall performance of the seven grassland countries is very average, and it can even be said to be a downfall.

The time before and after, the Principality of Omega lasted for more than forty days, which was less than a solid fortress to last for a long time.

The situation in the Principal of Shillong is similar. Judging from the information collected, their outer city has been destroyed, and the whole country has only been in the past few days.
