Demon Royal Family

Strictly speaking, he has grievances with the four Hokuriku countries, and he never shows mercy to his enemies.

There were more than two hundred sailors left who were trembling. Ivo squatted down in front of a trembling young sailor and slowly stretched out his hand. The young sailor turned pale with fright. He did not dare to look directly at Ivo and closed his eyes in fear.

After a while, the young sailor felt no pain. He opened his eyes a little and saw Ivo holding a bronze pocket watch. The young sailor was slightly startled. He looked down and saw that the pocket of his military uniform had been opened. The pocket watch belonged to him.

Ivo opened his pocket watch, and there was a piece of yellowed paper stuck inside the pocket watch, with a simple drawing on it, outlining the appearance of a woman and a child. Ivo glanced at the young sailor who kept swallowing his saliva, and said calmly: "This Are they your wife and son?"

"Yes, yes..." The young sailor's tone was trembling.

"How old is the child?"

"Five, five years old."

"May I have your name?"

"Nowell..."

Ivo nodded, stuffed the pocket watch back into the sailor's pocket, and patted his shoulder, "Nowell, life is the most beautiful treasure. Cherish your hard-won family, and don't let your children be without a father."

The young sailor Nowell lowered his head deeply. Ivo's tone was gentle, but it made him feel a deep chill.

The six ships of the privateering group carried more than 1,600 crew members and were already at capacity. The sailors escorted the captive sailors into the warship cells.

Ivo did not need the captives to become crew members, he had other plans for them.

The ten warships covered with slash marks were too conspicuous. You could tell at a glance what the privateers had done. Their concealment was very low. They usually sank enemy ships after plundering. Ivo was reluctant to abandon these warships. He needed to stockpile them. All supplies and warships are of high value and can be used as backup ships.

Gavin said: "If we want to keep the warship, we need a warehouse."

The advantage of the privateers was their concealment, and it was impossible to wander around with ten conspicuous warships.

Ivo nodded and said in a deep voice: "Then plan the base in advance."

Gavin was well prepared, took out the chart, and said with a smile: "I have screened the nearby uninhabited islands, and three of them meet the requirements."

When Ivo identified the Kuishang Navy as his target, Gavin had a premonition of this. After so many exercises, his ability to do things has become very good. Even in the palace, he can still perform the duties of the steward of the great nobles. This That's what Ivo valued about him.

"Black Bat Island, the island covers an area of ​​1,300 square miles. It is home to a large number of highly aggressive black bats. There are two bays where you can dock. It is located 200 nautical miles northwest of the Twin Ports. It is a maritime area and is deserted. On the main shipping route of the Shark Sea.”

"Shenmu Island, an island covering an area of ​​1,600 miles, with few wild animals, has three bays, a peninsula, and a strait. It is south of the Twin Ports. It takes about three days to sail. It belongs to the junction of the sea edge and the outer shark sea. It is located Main route with many ships passing by.”

"Turtle Island, an island covering an area of ​​980 miles, is a sea turtle spawning ground. It has a strait and a bay, and is dotted with atolls. It is located southwest of Twin Ports and northwest of Shenmu Island. The voyage is also three days, deviating from the main shipping route. , belongs to the maritime area.”

The Shark Sea is divided into three ring areas, the sea edge, the outer shark sea, and the inner shark sea. The sea edge is the junction with other sea areas, similar to a border pass - of course there is no such term in the sea, the outer shark sea and the inner shark sea The difference between the Inner Shark Sea and the Inner Shark Sea lies in the density and prosperity of the islands. The more core they are, the more prosperous they are.

The three uninhabited islands can all be used as secret strongholds. Ivos searched for a while and said, "Let's go to Black Bat Island."

The Twin Ports go south and gradually deepen into the Shark Sea. During the three-day voyage, it is easy to encounter other ships, which may cause problems. The secret stronghold must be inaccessible. Shenmu Island is located on the main route. The turtles on Turtle Island are good food and can easily attract other ships. People, and Black Bat Island is remote and inhabited by aggressive beasts. Even if a ship passes by, it will not land. Although it is more dangerous and is located on the edge of the Shark Sea, which is not convenient for future development, it just meets Ivo's conditions at this time.

After giving the instructions, Gavin would make arrangements in an orderly manner. While the sailors were cleaning the battlefield, Ivo probed the side of the ship to observe the sharks churning on the sea. The ubiquitous sharks are the characteristics of the Shark Sea. There are many types of sharks, and they are divided into different areas on the map. A habitat for sharks, the sharks attracted by the blood are all sharp-toothed gray sharks.

Each type of shark in the Shark Sea has its own habitat and basically only moves in a fixed area, just like a divided territory. Different types of shark groups have so-called shark kings, who are at least gold juniors. Ordinary sailors are frightened by this.

The Viper Pirate Group that had been following the fleet had disappeared. The flow of information among pirates had natural limitations and had little impact on Ivo.

Not long after, the battlefield was cleared. The fleet with ten additional warships turned around and left the blood-stained sea area. The excess sailors of the six ships were divided into some to pilot the warships. It only took a few seconds to sail a ship. More than a dozen people.

It was only a one-day voyage and Ivo didn't need to worry about it. He came to the belly of the Changfeng and interrogated Benjamin, who was being held in solitary confinement. The originally neat appearance of the Viscount of the Saint-Malo Empire became very messy and embarrassing.

Ivo walked into the cell and saw Benjamin huddled in the corner with a look of fear on his face, and said slowly: "Tell me, what is the mission of this navy? Why are you on the ship of the Kuishang Navy?"

Benjamin trembled: "His, their mission is to escort a prisoner from the Saint Malo Empire. The prisoner was captured in the North Continent, so he was escorted by the Kuishang Kingdom. I am a person sent by the empire to supervise..."

Ivo was slightly startled, remembering that Gavin mentioned that there were signs of damage to the cells of the navy ship. I was afraid that they were the prisoners' cells, but they escaped during the battle.

"What is your position in the Saint-Malo Empire?"

"I-I am the Executive Officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Ivo hummed in confusion. Although he knew very little about the St. Malo Empire, which was as famous as the Odin Empire, he also knew that an executive officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could not have the title of viscount unless he had a very profound background.

Benjamin shuddered, poured beans out of the bamboo tube and said at once, "I am a member of the Twelve Most Ancient Families, and my full name is Benjamin Atilius Aurodan."

The history of the Saint-Mallo Empire is older than that of the Odin Empire. The Odin Empire rose in the Age of Dark Night. Before the Dark Night, Saint-Mallo was the largest ancient country of the human race. Muir was the former main continent of the world. The belief system of the gods here is very traditional. In ancient times, the drastic changes in the Age of Darkness almost destroyed Saint-Malo and suffered heavy losses before the Odin Empire overtook it.

The Saint-Maro Empire originated in the ancient era when dragons and elves ruled. At that time, the thirty-one clans that founded the country were inherited. By the end of the Dark Ages, only twelve remained. They were called the Twelve Most Ancient Families or the Twelve Clan of the Saint-Maro Royal Family. , except for the king, the heads of the twelve clans are all princes who have been passed down from generation to generation.

The leader of the St. Malo Empire is called a consul in the country. The twelve clans take turns to hold the position and control the power. The term ranges from five to thirty years, depending on the performance of the current consul. A review is held every five years. Meeting.

The concept of clan is superior to family, and 90% of the entire Saint Malo Empire is controlled by twelve prominent families.

The aristocratic name structure of the St. Malo Empire is natal name, clan name, and family name, which is slightly different from the Odin Empire. In contrast, the St. Malo Empire pays more attention to origin and has a strict and stable hierarchy. Atilius is the twelve The surname of one of the most ancient and distinguished families.

The prisoners escorted by members of the most ancient and noble family aroused Ivo's curiosity. Benjamin hesitated and spoke out sluggishly under Ivo's eyes.

"The prisoner I am escorting is called Constantine. He is the exposed illegitimate son of Kroll, the previous leader of the Forverius clan..." Benjamin said cautiously: "Feverius is the current ruling clan. He took over four years ago. Kang Standing is the brother of the current consul Magson Fulvius Manles..."

Ivo let out a long sigh, and suddenly understood the key, and then he felt a little headache, as he seemed to be involved in the vortex of the noble struggle again... He was really tired of these twists and turns! I can’t remember just those complicated names!
