Demon Royal Family

The Odin Empire rules the entire continent, with an extremely vast coastline and numerous naval ports built offshore to protect the safety of the sea.

The navy learned that the Changfeng was being hunted by Rothschild. This Odin navy warship was specially found. It was their duty to deal with pirates. The Odin navy was different from the Kuishang navy. It had strict discipline and abide by its duties. The navy invited Yi Waugh took temporary refuge at the naval port.

Of course I happily agreed to such a good thing.

The naval port in this area of ​​​​the sea is not far from here. A few hours later, the Changfeng and the captured pirate ship docked at the pier of the naval port.

The buildings of the Odin Empire are very grand. The docks are built like city walls. There are hundreds of ship exits at the bottom of the docks. The naval warships do not dock directly at sea. Each warship has its own docking shipyard, which shows the wealth of the Odin Empire.

The Odin naval warship is a very sophisticated one. It is a Menisser-type warship. It is as tall as a building, painted in red gold, with intricate carvings. Three of the four-story cabins are equipped with gun holes. There are a total of fifty-four side cannons, three of which are standard. Small alchemical cannon.

After landing on the shore, Navy Lieutenant Odin, who was wearing an officer's uniform, stood by the dock, looked at Ivo and Rausings and said, "Are you the captain who was chased by Rothschild?"

"It's me." Ivo glanced at the other party's military rank medal with a natural expression.

The military rank system of the Odin Empire is different from that of Hokuriku. The vast and vast Odin Empire has dozens of legions, and the division of soldiers at all levels is clearer. Merits and status are divided by the military rank system of sergeant, lieutenant, colonel, and general. Naval Port The military rank of the Governor is Colonel.

The navy lieutenant led the two men to the fortress inside the naval port and entered a conference room. All the people present were officers. Sitting at the top was the lieutenant colonel, the second-in-command after the governor.

"Please sit down." The lieutenant colonel stretched out his hand and said solemnly.

Ivo and Rausings took their seats.

The lieutenant colonel said slowly: "The Governor ordered us to intercept Rothschild. In recent years, pirates have become more and more rampant. Rothschild has formed an alliance with almost all the pirates in the Emerald Sea. It is so powerful that it has threatened the security of the empire's territory. The naval marshal is extremely worried. We are dissatisfied that this time Rothschild has only assembled the men of his own pirate group. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We must confront Rothschild head-on, defeat him and dispel his arrogance."

Ivo's face tightened slightly. He felt that something was wrong. It didn't sound like the navy was only protecting them.

Sure enough, the lieutenant colonel turned to Ivo and said: "You are Rothschild's target. We hope you can lure Rothschild's fleet to our designated ambush location."

This was because he wanted him to be used as a bait. Ivo was unhappy. He did not want to cause more trouble. It was unwise to confront the Pirate King head-on. Being a bait would involve taking huge risks. He did not trust the navy to protect him. Compared with The value of his bait and the temptation to defeat the Pirate King. If he was caught up by the Pirate King, the Navy would not give him any help in order to wait for the Pirate King's fleet to enter the ambush area.

The thought flashed through his mind. Ivo stood up and declined politely: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I once fought against the Pirate King, which I remember deeply. I just want to reach the mainland as soon as possible, and my crew members don't want to continue." Fight, I’m so sorry.”

The lieutenant colonel's face darkened, he snorted coldly, and turned to Rausings, "Mr. Rausings, what do you mean?"

In the Odin Empire, Rausings is more famous than Ivo. In the eyes of the lieutenant colonel, Rausings is the one in charge.

Rausings looked embarrassed and hesitated for a while. When the lieutenant colonel looked impatient, he said guiltily to Ivo: "I am willing to believe in the navy."

Between the two choices of Ivo and Odin's navy, Rausings decided to believe in the latter, and the reason was easy to understand. The military power of Odin's navy gave him confidence.

Regarding Rausings' decision, Ivo had already expected it, and was a little helpless. It was too dangerous to be a bait. If Rausings died, the line he had finally established with the Goat Chamber of Commerce would be broken, and the Pirate King would bear his grudge in vain. Big loss.

Convincing Rausings that it was unrealistic, Ivo rolled his eyes and said: "In that case, the captured pirate ship will be given to you as bait. Officers, I will leave first."

The lieutenant colonel didn't care to wave, and Ivo refused to be the bait, so he became an insignificant figure and naturally couldn't stay in the conference room.

Rausins ​​sighed: "Sorry, my promise to you is still valid. When you return to the mainland, come to the Goat Chamber of Commerce to find me. I will buy the pirate ship you give me at a price that is 10% higher than the market price."

Ivo turned around and left without comment.

After he left, the officers present laughed in low voices.

"coward."

"Another captain who was scared to death by the Pirate King."

"What a coward."

…

Back on the Changfeng, everyone gathered around, and Nafei asked: "What are we doing now?"

Ivo narrowed his eyes and said: "The Navy wants to deal with Rothschild. Let's go farther away, follow the Navy warships, and lurk on the edge of the battlefield to see if we can find an opportunity to rescue Raussings."

Noconor looked worried, "This is too risky."

Ivo touched his chin, "So let's wait and see. If there is really no chance, we can just leave. We have no choice but to abandon Rausings."

Everyone nodded.

An hour later, the naval port first sent patrol boats to drive away nearby ships to eliminate the pirate king's eyes. Then the entire army was dispatched, and hundreds of naval warships sailed to an island not far away.

Long Bay Island was the ambush site chosen by the navy. Hundreds of naval warships hid on the back of the island.

Rausins ​​and the sailors of the Chamber of Commerce drove the captured pirate special ship and patrolled dozens of nautical miles away, waiting for the Pirate King to appear.

The Changfeng originally wanted to follow far away, but it happened that there were sparse reefs scattered in the waters near Changwan Island. The Changfeng hid behind a reef, not far from the island, and was not discovered, quietly lurking.

Ivo took a look at the terrain of Long Bay Island from a distance and guessed the navy's tactics. Long Bay Island, as its name suggests, has a very narrow and semi-arc bay. Rausings could pretend to be in a panic or hit a rock and escape to the island. As long as the Pirate King's fleet sails into the bay, the navy can form an encirclement force, leaving the Pirate King with no way out.

Of course, this is just a plan, whether it will succeed or not remains to be seen.

…

Dozens of nautical miles away, the Pirate King's fleet sailed mightily and discovered Rausins' ship.

The crew immediately reported the incident to the captain.

"Only one ship?" Rothschild stroked his braided beard and looked thoughtful.

"Our eyeliner reported that the target is said to have been in contact with Odin's navy."

"The navy wants to deal with me?" Rothschild smiled nonchalantly, "There is only the Essoburg Naval Port in this sea area, and there are only more than a hundred ships trying to deal with me. Do you look down on me so much?"

"Captain, please give the order."

Rothschild waved his hand, "Then play with them and remind these forgetful navy of my terror."

With power comes freedom, and Rothschild's code of conduct is his mood.

Since the navy wants to challenge his majesty, he will defeat the navy.
