From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

Krober set out on his journey to Qingyu City with great expectations, but the result was not satisfactory.

The Marquis of Qingyu Grass had not yet returned from the Hild Fortress. Although his successor, Conrad Qingyu Grass, could answer some questions, the specific content was almost the same as what Votava Alfalfa said.

Despite this, Krober did not return empty-handed.

Conrad generously provided Krober with a lot of help.

He not only lent a medium-sized sailing ship for free, but also temporarily assigned the sailors and helmsmen on the ship to Krober.

During this period, all losses of the ship and the remuneration of the labor force will be borne by the Qingyu Grass family.

With the assistance of this sailing ship and the crew, it is enough to support Krober's next plan.

In addition, Conrad also wrote a letter to Krober in person and stamped it with the seal of the Qingyu Grass family, indicating that this letter can help him mobilize the nobles loyal to the Qingyu Grass family when he encounters difficulties.

Krober gladly accepted Conrad's kindness, because he knew that more preparations would provide more guarantees.

Originally, Kroeber still had the idea of ​​going to Black Feather Island, but Conrad stopped him and explained that there were not many living people on Black Feather Island now. Most of them were plundered by pirates like plundering treasures to the Three Daughters Islands. All the wealth, elf bugs and elves of the Black Feather Family were also taken away.

It can be said that there is nothing else on Black Feather Island now except some survivors and some damaged building ruins.

After thanking the Qingyu Grass Family for their help and admiring the Qingyu Grass Family's loyalty to the Grand Duke, after the guests and hosts were happy, Kroeber declined Conrad's retention and led the team to the Three Daughters Islands.

(No foreshadowing, fast pass, don't let you say I'm water, directly start the plot)

Kroeber first went to the port of the Qingyu Grass Family to get the ship and crew lent to him by Conrad, and after preparing food for almost a month, he went straight to the Three Daughters Islands.

The Three Daughters Islands are separated from the coastline by a long distance, which has also become the root cause of the pirates' rampage.

Generally speaking, pirates would choose to settle down on the Second Daughter Island.

The natural conditions of this island are better than those of the other two islands. Not only is the environment not so bad, but the area is also quite large.

The most important thing is that the transportation is convenient, which is very conducive to their going out to sea to rob passing caravans.

In contrast, the First Daughter Island is closest to the coastline of the principality. If the nobles decide to send troops to conquer, then the First Daughter Island is undoubtedly a key place that must be passed.

Although the First Daughter Island is rocky and has a bad terrain, the pirates still deployed some troops here.

As for the Little Sister Island, it is not only the smallest in area, but also located on the easternmost side of the two islands. Even if the enemy attempts to attack from the sea, it is impossible to attack them from the east of the sea.

Therefore, almost no pirates would set foot on the Little Sister Island on weekdays.

Krober's plan is to let the ship anchor on the Little Sister Island, and then he and the two great knights Foster will go first to find out the actual situation of the pirates.

Yes, with the help of the magic potion, Foster finally succeeded in breaking through before arriving at Horstburg and became the first great knight under Krober.

With Foster, Krober's team has two great knights.

But the captain of this ship put forward a completely different opinion.

The captain of this ship is an experienced and experienced middle-aged man. He has personally experienced the thrilling action of the last anti-pirate campaign and is responsible for driving the ship.

Therefore, he knows the complex and dangerous environment around the Three Daughters Islands very well.

He suggested that everyone disguise themselves as an isolated merchant ship that happened to pass by the waters near the Second Daughter Island. At the same time, they must ensure that most of the soldiers are hidden inside the cabin, and only a small part of the defensive forces are exposed on the outside, deliberately creating a false impression of being vulnerable.

In this way, it is easy to arouse the greed deep in the hearts of the pirates.

According to the customary rules of the pirates, when faced with such a lone merchant ship that is obviously at a disadvantage, they usually do not rush forward to rob it, because doing so means that everyone may not be able to get a satisfactory share of the spoils in the end.

Instead, the pirates prefer to follow tradition and let the first person who discovers the merchant ship come forward to organize a combat team.

After the plunder is successful, most of the looted treasures will be handed over to the pirate leader, and the remaining property will be at the disposal of the lucky person who first discovered the target.

The captain said that this was the information that the pirate captives imprisoned on the ship said in person in exchange for a decent meal. Many people on the ship heard it at the time. If you don’t believe it, Krober can go out and ask those sailors.

To be honest, Krober himself has a certain distrust of everyone except him and Knight Foster.

Well... now you can add Marquis Daniel and Baron Adam, as well as Grand Duke Veronica.

But at this moment, he couldn't think of any other way. After all, the Three Daughters Islands were isolated overseas. If he sailed close to them, he would be discovered by the vigilant pirate scouts. At that time, he could only fight head-on or retreat.

In the absence of enemy intelligence, Kroeber would never choose a head-on approach.

So he would rather take the risk and choose the suggestion made by the captain.

First of all, this ship, the sailors on the ship, and the captain were all introduced by the Qingyucao family. He should already have a family in the territory of the Qingyucao family. The general loyalty of such a person can still be guaranteed. .

Second, it is true that Krober can't think of any other way. With his current ability, it is indeed impossible to let the fleet approach the Third Daughter Islands silently. Maybe he can take advantage of the darkness, but It is impossible for Lorber's fleet to dock on the shore in the dark. If it hits a rock, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed.

If there is something wrong with the captain or the plan fails, then you will have to prepare for the worst.

"It would be great if I could fly..."

Krober thought silently in his heart.

After the meeting, Hywell Jacaranda found Krober and expressed his views to him.

"Night attack?"

Krober was startled.

"But the fleet cannot move forward in the dark. If you use lighting items, you will be discovered by the pirates on the island. Theoretically, a night attack is impossible to succeed. It will only alert the enemy."

Hewell Jacaranda bowed towards Krober.

"Sir, there is a fighting skill in the breathing method of our Jacaranda family that is very suitable for use in this situation. It is called deep sea perception. This fighting skill will give the user powerful detection and perception capabilities, and its effect is in the water element. It’s especially powerful where it’s full.”

"You can have the fleet stay near the waters of the Third Naughty Islands during the day and prepare a small boat for me. When it gets dark, I will row the small boat to the Second Naughty Island to spy on the information on the island for you."

"The spying time may be one day, or it may be two days, but if it exceeds three days, it means that my operation failed.

At that time, you can make your next plan, such as pretending to be a lone merchant ship or directly attacking Ernuo Island. "

After listening to Hewell's suggestion, Krober touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
