Chapter 11, Assassinate the Princess!
Chapter 11, Assassinate the Princess!
The weather is clear and the sea is sparkling.
On the blue sea, three warships are distributed in the shape of "pin", stirring the sea water, like scissors tearing the curtain, galloping on the sea.
The deterrent force of warships is strong in the East China Sea.
There are no powerful characters beyond common sense, and the advantages of equipment are brought into full play.
Artillery is a controlled weapon. Except for the big pirates with clear hands and eyes, ordinary pirates only have a few rotten swords as weapons.
In addition, the speed of warships is far higher than that of ordinary pirate ships. Once they are targeted, few ships can sustain a round of concentrated fire.
So it's not that they didn't meet any pirates along the way, but that all the pirates fled away when they saw the lineup of three warships, especially two nimble small warships accompanying them.
Fortunately, with the addition of escort missions, the navy will not waste its energy in chasing them.
"Three days, it's almost time to come?"
In the cabin, Lovett withdrew from the sea of souls, his eyes flickered and slowly disappeared.
Think about it differently, if you have any secrets to keep, but an insider appears in front of the world, you will not allow him to live for too long.
This is not a common problem of smart people, but human instinct.
Choose to live in a way that is beneficial to you, that's all.
So this trip, Crowe's attack is bound to come!
Coming to the bedroom window, Lovett blew on the hot tea in the cup and took a sip.
"Taking a step back, apart from the fact that there were three warships on this trip, the number and strength of the trip are no different from the last time the 153 branch was massacred."
So Crowe can't be afraid!
Thinking of the strange speed of the glimpse that day... Lovett felt his heart beat a little faster.
"It's been a long time... I haven't fought with anyone before."
He couldn't help trembling with excitement.
"Black Earl" is No. 1 under the Holy Ten, this sentence is well known in the mage world.
In other words, except for the existence of the Holy Ten, no one is his opponent in a single fight. Naturally, there are not many battles to talk about.
In addition, he is a genius who is proficient in all five branches of necromancer magic, and he is one of the most difficult to deal with among necromancers. Under the same circumstances, outsiders would rather hold their noses and suffer a bit than choose to fight with such a guy .
"I hope you can bring me some...memory worth recalling."
The red blood dizzy rolls in the eyeballs, but there is no sound of wind, but something dangerous brushes over the body and blows the hair.
Knowing that the battle is coming, Lovett has been seriously adjusting his state these days.
He doesn't have much energy now, and his one-star magic is limited. Whether he can make a comeback with Scarlet Wrath, to be honest, he is not sure.
May die!
But he wasn't afraid.
Just like him trying to open the gate of the underworld by illegal means, knowing that there is only "possibility", he bravely let it go.
Death is not terrible.
This is even more so for necromancers.
Losing this kind of thinking, the necromancer has almost come to an end.
"But what is Crowe waiting for? The front is the territory of the 16 branches. With their support, the chances are even slimmer."
After crossing the sea area managed by the 16 branches, the warship can reach the town of Rogge in a day.
Don't do it anymore...
Thinking of Smoker's record of beating the Straw Hats in the original book, Lovett doesn't think that Smoker will be restrained by liquid like Crocodile, and defeated.
"A strong attack is feasible. For the sake of safety, we didn't make a quick march at night, enough for them to catch up."
"Am I too safe?"
While frowning and thinking, suddenly, there was a scream outside.
"what!!!"
"Protect the princess!"
Monka's angry roar shook the deck, and footsteps slammed everywhere on the warship. There seemed to be countless mice crawling around in the gaps in the walls through the door.
Suddenly, Lovett's eyes lit up.
"Good plan!"
"As expected of the guy with the highest IQ in the early stage of the Oda Imperial Designation!"
……
Sally Nandkanette has been stabbed!
The horrifying news swept through the three warships like a gust of wind. When Lovett rushed to the front of the deck, the place was already surrounded by crowds.
The soldiers surrounded Monka and the others with three layers inside and three layers outside. When they saw Lovett coming, they were surprised for a moment, and then revealed the passage.
"Canet Sauce, Canet Sauce, don't scare me!"
In the center of the crowd, Princess Nand Canet of the Kingdom of Goa collapsed to the ground, and her fiancé Staley held her in his arms, looking terrified.
That's unreal horror!
He is qualified to inherit the throne because he is the princess' fiancé, which is equivalent to the heir recognized by the old king. If Nand Canet is dead, who will recognize his status?
His adoptive father Altruk III will not let him go!
"Well……"
In a coma, the princess let out a low trembling sound. On her stomach, blood stained the light yellow decoration of the white dress red, and pools of blood piled up on the deck.
A dagger was inserted into the edge of the kidney and almost killed him on the spot!
At this point in the brutality, the identity of the prisoner is revealed immediately.
"Damn pirates!"
Staley had a wretched appearance, but at this moment, his face was stern with anger, making it even uglier.
He raised his head, furious: "How did you protect the princess, and let the pirates touch the boat!"
"Trash, it's all trash!!"
"I want to tell my father to let you be buried with me!"
Monka blushed and clenched his fists.
In fact, if he hadn't heard the screams and arrived quickly, the murderer would have stabbed him a second time, completely erasing Nand Kanet's life.
But this is not a reason. If someone is assassinated under his command, he can't get away from it.
At this time, Lovett squeezed into the crowd and said softly.
"Let's not mention that you are not officially married to the princess. Does anyone agree with your father's claim? Just because you are blocking the doctor's rescue now, I can't help but doubt...your real intentions."
"Second Lieutenant Lovett, you have no place to speak here!"
Major Aiden was shocked and quickly reprimanded him.
If it weren't for Monka's care, as a second lieutenant, Lovett should be in charge of guarding the periphery instead of coming to the center.
But Lovett has no authority, no soldiers directly under him, and no one else can find an excuse.
"you!!"
Staley was taken aback.
He really didn't notice that the doctor had come, and he was so preoccupied with thinking about his own throne after Nand Kanet's death that his eyes and ears were closed and his thoughts were restless.
"Ahem, Mr. Staley, let the doctor take a look."
Mengka coughed and interjected.
"Oh, yes, hurry to the doctor! If you can't cure her, I will kill you!"
Staley was taken aback and stood up with a flustered expression, but he still did not forget to be proud.
It's unethical to bully a fool.
Lovett shook his head, approached Monka, and asked in a low voice.
"Colonel, where is the murderer?"
Monka's expression became even uglier upon hearing this.
"Killed one, and escaped one. One of them was in charge of the lookout, and the other was in charge of doing it. They hijacked our rescue boat."
It really is Crowe!
If it was just suspicion before, then now Lovett has confirmed his speculation.
Someone must escape before he can complete the next step of the plan.
A real assassin is usually a dead man, and a dead man doesn't need to watch the wind to survive.
"Troublesome..."
Lovett sighed.
"One of the murderers escaped, not to mention that this fool will not give up, and the Goya Kingdom will not let it go, if we can't catch anyone...we are all in trouble."
Major Aiden was shocked when he heard this, and didn't care to think about who the fool was.
"What should I do?"
How to do?
Of course it is to send someone to chase and bring the murderer to justice!
but……
Who can ensure that there are only these two assassins on board?
If they go after them, will they be tricked by the enemy?
If something happens to Staley, don't say anything, let's go to sea together and be pirates.
The world government will definitely not let go of the 153 branches who have made such a mess, and the Warring States Period cannot keep them.
Lovett didn't answer, believing that Monka already had the answer.
"Colonel, let me take a warship to chase after him!"
Lieutenant Colonel Jody handed over the command task to the adjutant and came to the flagship.
The enemy slipped away right under their noses. If the safety of the royal family hadn't been prioritized, the assassin wouldn't have been able to get far.
The instant chaos and the priority of the royal family gave the enemy enough time to escape safely.
But that is relatively safe... The speed of a warship is not comparable to that of a mere lifeboat.
"No! The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It is even more unsafe if the defensive force is taken away by the enemy's massive attack."
Mengka refused decisively.
No one knows what the real purpose of the enemy is, assassination or distraction.
They have been deterred by the cross-fire network built by three warships along the way. If one is removed, there is no doubt that the enemy will have a greater possibility of frontal attack.
Snapped!
"What? The prisoner escaped?!"
At this time, Staley had a hostile face, and slapped Major Soshie on the face.Due to the lack of exercise, his palms were in severe pain, but the fierce look in his eyes remained undiminished.
"No matter what excuses you have, if you can't catch the prisoner, just leave it to me to die!"
Major Tangtang was slapped in the face by an outsider in front of the soldiers. The anger and shame made Suo Xi flushed and trembling.
Looking at the sight of the soldiers fighting against each other and wishing to kill, Mengka took a deep breath.
"Can I trust you, Lovett."
Lovett was taken aback.
He was conceiving language to prepare for this trouble, but he didn't expect Mengka to speak up on his own initiative...
It's true, I didn't expect it!
Looking up, Lovett and Monka looked at each other calmly.
in fact……
There is a third option in this matter.
That is to throw an abandoned child out and take the blame!
The anger of the nobles needs to be vented, and the government needs to be held accountable. This goal can be the entire 153 branch, or it can be...
Pursue someone who is unfavorable!
For the safety of the royal family, it makes sense that Mengka did not take away the defensive force to pursue.
So it made sense to send out a small force to hunt down the murderer.
However, the small group of troops failed to catch the prisoner, which...
I can't justify it!
At that time, all the anger and accusations will fall on the person in charge who went to arrest people. The 153 branch has made mistakes but has no serious mistakes, so it can use this to protect itself.
Monka named Lovett, and there is no doubt that he wanted Lovett to play this role.
It is gratifying to catch it, and it can even be used to establish Lovett's authority in the branch and resolve the increasingly prominent contradictions in the branch; if it is not caught, it is also a disadvantage for Lovett.
"Promise to complete the mission, Colonel!"
Lovett's decisiveness was beyond Monka's expectation.
But without hesitation, he nodded.
Just promise.
"Go ahead, pick 20 lads, they should be able to catch up!"
"Yes!"
After all, Lovett turned and left.
When he left, Lieutenant Colonel Jody frowned and said hesitantly: "Colonel, Ensign Lovett used to...let him chase, maybe..."
"Isn't that better?"
Monka looked at him coldly, making Lieutenant Colonel Jody feel chills in his heart.
He bowed his head.
"Yes!"
Ask for favorites, ask for recommendations, all kinds of requests!
