The knight king of the otherworldly moon

She took back the card she just dropped, and her whole body was full of fighting spirit.

"Cut! Whoever asks you to come, I will forgive you this time.

Come on, you cheating woman, bear my wrath."

I don't know if it was his own delusion or not, but Lucifer felt that El's whole body was burning together.

"It's scary! It's scary! It feels like it's going to burn."

Anna directly expressed this feeling at this time.

"My turn, draw cards."

In this way, with the support of the two, they started their second round 22.

no.167 Geographical dislocation

On the broad main street, the smell of sea water could already be faintly smelled at this time.

Looking at the city in front of Lucifer, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Edinburgh in the memory of the past life seems to be the capital of Scotland, but now it has become a city in the alley.

Looking around, most of the pedestrians on the streets here are businessmen. The previous pirate attack was temporarily defeated by Drake, and the city was not affected too much. What was really affected were the alleys, and those... ..the merchants who are about to go to sea.

Lucifer led the knights all the way and came to the alley by the sea.

As far as the eye can see, it is a blue sea and blue sky.

Seabirds flew in the distance, and dozens of huge warships were docked at the entrance of the alley.

It was the first time that Lucifer saw the sea of ​​this world, and the navy of this world, on this continent with the inland as the main theme.

Before that, Lucifer had done a lot of homework.

The naval battles in this world are similar to those of the Great Voyage Age in memory. Most of them are cannons using black powder, but the ammunition is added with magic spells.

When he first heard this, Lucifer had the feeling that he wanted to develop gunpowder.

But on second thought, the idea was immediately thrown away.

Even Kiritsugu in the middle uses the spear of later generations: there is no threat to the Servants, let alone the extremely unstable black powder.

It would be nice to have a nuclear bomb or something, but unfortunately the generation difference between the industrial levels is almost impossible to play like this.

Besides, the world in the previous life developed science without magic.

With such a convenient thing as magic, who would play science.

Even Hohenheim's research is magic, not real science.

After entering the fortress, Lucifer brought his guards to the military hall of the fortress, where several main generals of the fortress were already waiting.

At the head is a bold woman with scars on her face, she is the commander of this navy, Drake.

These people were originally supposed to be directly under Semiramis, but after Semiramis was promoted to Prime Minister, they also became part of the British national power.

After they saw Lucifer, they immediately saluted Lucifer.

After a brief self-introduction and opening remarks, Lucifer directly entered the theme.

"Generals, tell me the current situation."

The others thought of looking at each other, and together they gestured to the director here to explain.

"We now face three pirate kings: Edward the Blackbeard with the Queen Anne's Revenge, David the Devil with the Flying Dutchman, and Blood Axe with the Gunhilde. Rick."

Drake names the opponents they're currently facing.

In fact, there are not only these few pirates on this sea, but only three of them near Britain.

Hearing this, Lucifer's expression revealed playfulness.

"Pirate King"

"That's what they call themselves, just like the Bandit King that appeared in Britain before, but this time they have become the Pirate King."

Drake explained the situation immediately.

Unlike Lucifer, who took the initiative to be the King of Knights, these pirates usually gave themselves a nickname or something in order to recruit younger brothers more easily, or to intimidate each other.

Also called Pirate King.

Although this title is seen as a joke by others.

"Giving yourself such a cool title, are they planning to hold a One Piece conference to elect a One Piece or something?"

Lucifer said calmly.

His words caused a burst of laughter from Drake.

"Haha, I heard that it seems to be the case.

But their strengths are equal, and no one obeys the other.

So it was over in the end.”

"What is their strength?"

"At the moment, Blackbeard's fleet is the largest.

There are 23 boats in total.

The crew added up to thousands.

David the Flying Dutchman has only ten boats, but this... sea monster's boats are all very powerful.

Finally, there is Eric the Blood Axe. He should be the strongest of the three. He has a total of nineteen ships. We sank three of them, and now he has sixteen. His ship configuration is all Very ordinary."

"Together there are 49 ships.

How much do we have?"

"Originally there were forty, but one sank in the previous battle, two more need major repairs, and four need minor repairs. Overall, only 37 can be used in subsequent battles."

Drake fluently expressed his combat power.

Of course, something like a ship cannot be compared only with quantity, but also with quality and the quality of sailors.

In fact, most of the pirate ships are only in large quantities and of very poor quality.

"Is the difference in quantity less than three to one point?"

"Please rest assured, Wang, our sailors are definitely better than those pirates."

"I believe in your abilities.

But because of this, I don't want my soldiers to waste their lives because of these pirates.

This time it's just a battle, not a war at all, I don't want too many casualties.

Is there anything else?"

“One more thing that may need attention”

"Say."

"I heard that they seem to be planning to cooperate with the Kraken. If this is true, we must prepare accordingly for the subsequent battle."

Drake said another current news.

This is also the news she heard from the pirates she caught recently. Although she doesn't know whether the news is true or not, since she has heard it, she can't ignore it...

.

"The Kraken..."

Lucifer remembered that the most famous siren in the world seemed to be a mermaid whose upper body was a human and the lower body was a fish.

A certain dwarf writer wrote a story about mermaids because their first love was a mermaid.

But the real thing is, these... Mermaids are very ferocious in the sea.

According to rumors, although they don't eat people, they can use their singing to sink pedestrians' boats.

Among them, the men who like them will pull them to breed, and those who don't like them will become bait, attracting carnivorous fish, and they will catch these fish and use them as their own food.

Lucifer had occasionally heard the master say these things... about the siren, and at this time he couldn't help but miss the master's knowledge base.

Seeing Lucifer falling into deep thought, Drake thought that Lucifer didn't know much about sirens, and she continued to help popularize it.

"They can be said to be magicians of the sea, they will use their beautiful singing to attract targets and then pull them into the sea.

People who travel by sea would rather meet pirates than meet them."

"Whether it's true or not, plan for the worst about the Kraken.

What is the current situation in the alley?”

Lucifer has not been entangled in the question of the siren for too long.

This question cannot be concluded once.

"It's very stable at the moment, but it's only in the alley.

Now because those three guys are united for unknown reasons, commercial shipping cannot be carried out normally.

If this goes on, it may cause panic among business people.

The city in front of me is a city where business is the main communication, and it must not be allowed: they block the door for a long time."

Drake looked out at the sea through the window, her voice a little worried.

no.168 Shoot them into the sea to feed the fish (please ask for tickets, ask for custom)

Even the lady who Semiramis called her unrestrained had this expression, and Lucifer probably guessed how annoying she was with those pirates.

"You should have thought of a way to defeat them before.

How's the effect?"

"Those guys seem to have learned to be smart this time. When I take the initiative to attack one side, the other two sides will also come to support.

It is also impossible for me to take the risk of being attacked by three sides, and only temporarily retreat to the alley. We originally laid out a plan to lure them to attack, and we relied on the firepower of the fortress to completely defeat them."

Drake continued to talk about their plans.

"The results of it"

"As a result, those guys stopped chasing after seeing us back.

They were not like this before, do they eat too much fish, and their brains suddenly become: Okay."

That's what makes Drake weird.

Most of these pirates are hot-blooded guys. Sometimes once they see their prey bite, they will desperately pursue them, even if they have entered the trap, they will not notice it.

But this time, they were suddenly: calm, and that style made Drake feel something was wrong.

In this regard, Lucifer is...not surprised.

"Someone should be giving them advice behind the scenes.

The three of them act together, and if there is no intermediary, they will make trouble on their own.

Not to mention the offense."

Not surprisingly, someone should have been sent by Rome.

Otherwise, if they only give money, these pirates will not go against the sky.

Now these pirates are more like mercenaries than pirates.

Thinking of this, Lucifer continued.

"So, I mean.

At present, the main thing is to stabilize the situation at the entrance of the alley, and try to find a way to check their middleman. As long as this person is killed, they will become a mess.

Then take care of them slowly."

"Good idea! I agree.

Just what to do after that"
