Demon Royal Family
Chapter 421 Hostages and Rescue Plan
The two ships sailed on the frozen sea, and the helmsmen carefully avoided the floating icebergs.
In the north of the world, the sea breeze carries snow and is bone-chillingly cold.
The sky in the north is an icy blue, like translucent ice hanging upside down, and even the wind is white.
The deck and sides of the ship were covered with white frost. The sailors were wrapped in two layers of cotton-padded jackets and shivering while working on the ship.
In the captain's cabin with candles burning, Ivo was holding a machete and carefully shaving against an ice mirror. After more than four months of sailing, he crossed the endless ocean from west to north, arriving from the continent of Odin. In the continent of Frigga, beards grow over time. Although most men in this world like to grow beards, Ivo thinks they look too dirty, so he still shaves them cleanly and freshly.
In the mirror is a twenty-year-old man. His once tender face has now become sharp-edged and masculine. The years pass by silently, like sand in the hand.
Ivo put down the ice mirror and walked out of the captain's cabin. The outline of the Northland appeared at the end of the sea level in the distance. He took out his messenger badge and contacted Gavin.
"Gavin, where are you?"
"Lord Ivo, we are docked on a desert island, the coordinates are..."
Ivo raised his brows, took out the navigation chart and compared it, found that the distance was not far, and immediately ordered to turn.
About four hours later, a desert island was discovered ahead. The two ships went around the strait and found that a simple shelter had been built here, with four medium-sized Gaelic sailing ships docked. A group of people came to greet them on the dock. The leader was Gavin.
The Changfeng and the Palatine entered the port smoothly. Ivo walked onto the pier. Gavin immediately walked up to him with an excited expression on his face, "Boss, long time no see."
Ivo patted Gavin on the shoulder and showed an encouraging smile, "You did a great job, thank you for your hard work."
Gavin was flattered and said, "This is a subordinate's duty." Seeing that the sailors of Ivo's fleet were shivering from the cold, he was so clever that he asked his subordinates to bring out steaming cups and large cans of rum to entertain him. The weathered sailors.
Goldo, who always looked down and out, his eyes lit up, he grabbed a can of rum without ceremony and gave Gavin a thumbs up, "Although I don't know who you are, I'm optimistic about you."
The sailors cheered, hurriedly rushed up, and devoured the food as if they were starving ghosts.
Yamo bit the pig's trotter and said vaguely: "Captain, have you finally thought of us because of your conscience?"
"Eat your food, don't talk nonsense." Ivo cursed with a smile and kicked Yamo in the butt. Yamo chuckled, didn't care, and ate.
Ivo and Gavin stayed away from the crowd. Gavin looked solemn and reported on his business situation.
Because Ivo was wanted by major empires, the Hurricane Chamber of Commerce ceased operations for more than half a year and hid. After receiving Ivo's order, it returned to the Frozen Sea. The deserted island at its feet was a temporary stronghold built by Gavin. All supplies were Store it here.
These include various living supplies, rare supplies and a large amount of money, which is worth about 1.7 billion benas, which is a huge sum of money, as well as four improved merchant ships.
Most of the personnel of the Hurricane Chamber of Commerce have been dismissed, leaving more than 400 people. They are all loyal subordinates. Not only members of the Chamber of Commerce, most of them are capable subordinates of the Hurricane Regiment, intelligence personnel, combat personnel, and personnel with special skills.
Under Gavin's management, the Hurricane Regiment's intelligence network has spread over most of the Hokuriku and is temporarily in a semi-stop state. This is to save money. Due to the secrecy of the intelligence network, the kingdom of the Hokuriku cannot remove the Hurricane Regiment's intelligence network. .
Ivo secretly thought about it. The assets of 1.7 billion, plus the treasure of Magellan's treasure of 1 billion, were enough to build a large fleet. He also had an asset left in the Harrican Defense Line in the Kingdom of Lassese, and the servants operated by Stonehoof The Corps and real estate shops business, the latter is the big one, probably more than 2 billion.
"Gavin, I asked you to contact Stonehoof. How is the situation there?"
"I was about to say this," Gavin's tone became lower. "Since you were wanted, my lord, all the major kingdoms have put pressure on Laxes. King Severn III sent troops to detain the brothers in Harricon's defense line. , our assets were confiscated, eight hundred people were imprisoned in the dungeon, and even Stonehoof was captured."
Ivo's expression turned cold, "They didn't resist?"
"No, the Harricon Defense Line is the current royal city of Rases. The garrison Unicorn Legion has a large number of people. In order to reduce losses, Stonehoof chose to capture it without mercy."
"He did the right thing." Ivo nodded slowly, feeling uncomfortable in his heart. When the Kingdom of Lases was facing destruction, it was he who turned the tide and built the famous Harricon Defense Line in the North Continent, turning it into a royal city. He had made it happen with his own hands, but now the king turned against him whenever he wanted, like a white-eyed wolf. Even though Ivo knew that this was the result of pressure from other empires, he still felt unhappy.
There are pros and cons in everything. He agreed to turn the Harrican Defense Line into the Royal City because of the huge benefits behind it. At that time, no one could have imagined that the situation would develop to the point it is now. Instead, it created difficulties now. Ivo did not have the ability to predict it. , there is nothing that can be done about it. It is like an exchange of equal value. Benefits are obtained but risks are also borne.
"But Severn III did not execute them, as if he was treating them as hostages. According to the intelligence network, the king probably wants to make a deal with you..." Gavin stopped talking.
Ivo smiled faintly, "Don't you just want to take back the title and the Golden Cross that were given to me? In return, the most he could do was create a defensive loophole in the royal city and let me break the prison and take away Shiho. He didn't dare to let him go openly. Other countries are watching him."
"Sir, what are your plans next?"
Ivo folded his hands, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The top priority is to take away Stonehoof first. They carry a large amount of supplies and have to stay on land for a long time. Even if Severn III may reach an agreement with me, he must Be wary of him going back on his word, as he may tip off Baria and Renault and set a trap for me to kill me. Those two kingdoms would like me to die without a burial place."
There are three difficult steps to rescue the companions in the Harricon defense line. The first is to rescue the subordinates and take away the supplies. Even if Severn III is willing to trade, he must be prepared for a big battle. This can only be done by Yi Wo do it.
Second, after rescuing Shiti and others, due to the huge amount of supplies, it will take one to two months to travel on land and go to the seaside to board the ship. During this period, they will encounter encirclement and suppression by various forces. This is the most dangerous step.
The last step is the reception. In order to prevent the land team from having to cross the Kuishang Kingdom's border, the reception fleet cannot dock at the Kuishang Kingdom's port. To find a suitable docking location, it is best that no one can think of it.
The situation was difficult, so Ivo had to look forward and backward. He had to make complete preparations before going to the rescue. He had to consider the location of the ship to dock, and he also had to pull up a team of guards that could handle thousands of troops. The conditions were harsh.
Ivo took out the map, frowned in thought, looking for a suitable anchoring place.
After looking around, a bold idea came to his mind. His eyes lit up and he pointed at a location with his fingers, "The fleet can dock here!"
Gavin took a look, his whole body trembled, and he looked surprised, "Are you sure?"
Ivo nodded and glanced at him, "Can you have some confidence in your boss?"
Gavin took a breath and confirmed the position of Ivo's finger again, with a bitter look on his face. Yes, it was indeed the Horn of the North.
The far north of the Frigga continent, the end of the Cold Night Mountains, the Horn of the North!
