Episode 30
##030
Ryan was well aware of how things were going to turn out.
“Looks like a deal. hehehe.”
[You’re a ghost kid. So Captain Lian. do you want anything I’ll let you attend the negotiations.]
In a way, this is an unconventional treatment.
Only at least the rank of colonel or higher will participate in the negotiations.
Of course, on the Pirate King’s side, only key executives were allowed a corner seat.
To think that a young captain with only one ship could participate in such a place.
“There is a neck you want rather than a want.”
There was one guy with a bad back to keep alive.
Of course, I had no intention of keeping him alive.
To do that, you need a solid hand.
“Bring Leopold from the chapel. I will take Charlotte as an escort.”
After a while, Leopold came up as a missionary.
“west… Captain. You found it… … .”
The guy rolled his eyes and looked at Lian’s eyes.
An attitude that is too ugly to be a country’s emperor.
“Eh… What’s so bad about it? Straighten your back!! Shoulders too!”
“yes?! Yes.”
Leopold immediately obeys Lian’s screams.
“Leopold. It is a debut match.”
“What do you mean by that… … .”
“The time has come for you to make your face known.”
“Yes?!!!”
Leopold was frightened by those words.
“kid… Did he pass out while standing?”
* * *
The waters off the port of Nantes became a complete mess.
Broken boats, rising smoke and screams.
Both the Thrang Empire and the Ingleson Kingdom could no longer continue the battle of forcing a war of attrition.
Ships were quickly worn out.
-The navy has worked hard… … .
The navy cannot be developed overnight.
Apart from ships, raising skilled sailors was not an easy task.
If it continues like this, even if it wins, it will be a victory that only hurts.
Squeak! Squeak!
The road to the flagship of the Ingleson Kingdom by boat with the Pirate King.
There were only a few people aboard the small, rocking boat.
“Pirate King Grandpa. Did Ingleson ask you to bring me?”
“A while ago, when there was sea fog, there was a strong request from the Ingleson Kingdom to bring the person who planned the strategy.”
If I didn’t have the neck I wanted, I didn’t really want to step out.
Because there is nothing good about being famous among the navy.
When the war is over, won’t we meet as cops and thieves?
“I also think I need the four Lians for this negotiation.”
“why?”
“If the war of attrition continues like this, our alliance will lose.”
Some hope though.
Since Lian made the plate, I would have thought that no one would know as well as Lian.
In particular, didn’t the pirate king clearly see the scene where Lian gave the order?
“It’s up to me whether or not to fry the guts. Is this exciting? hehehe.”
Both armies know that they should not fight each other, but national pride is a problem.
To eventually back off from each other. Ingleson, who is slightly at a disadvantage, has to say sorry.
Otherwise, it may really go all the way.
Even if the end is only destruction.
again~!
The boat the Pirate King and Lian rode on was pulled up by the pulley of the flagship of the Ingleson Kingdom.
There were also quite a few key figures who had already arrived.
They were wearing dazzling red coats.
It was a meeting above the ranks of the colonels, but the colonels were barely on one side.
“Is that the child?! Who gave us orders in the first place?”
The person who spoke up was Neizar, the Grand Admiral of the Ingleson Kingdom.
He was in charge of the Ingleson Navy until Charlotte Berry ascended to the rank of Admiral.
– What three kids.
-I heard that the captain is a kid, but what are the two behind him?
A small whisper was heard all around.
Far from being intimidated, Lian smiled and said hello.
“It is an honor to meet you. Grand Admiral.”
“You’re stupid. young.”
He glanced at Ryan curiously.
At first, he thought the pirate king was making fun of him because the young captain was in command.
Upon reflection, the Pirate King had no reason to do so. It’s not even like that.
“Still, I am the captain of a ship. Grand Admiral.”
The pirate king broke the grand admiral’s thoughts.
“There have been many instances of this. If you’re on a 3rd class ship, is it at least an officer level?! I apologize for judging you based only on appearance. By the way, what do you think will happen if we fight to the end? Captain Lian.”
He corrected his posture and asked Lian.
It was definitely disrespectful.
Even if it’s the same affiliation, isn’t it the captain of a different affiliation?
Especially if you are the owner of a new class 3 battleship.
“It won’t be much different from what you think. Doesn’t the Grand Admiral know very well that at this scale, skill and the like won’t change victory or defeat? It is already exhausting on both sides.”
Rian moderately took off his pretense.
If he was in command, he was confident of winning moderately, but if he did, his ability would become too conspicuous.
‘That’s why it’s troublesome.’
In the Ingleson Kingdom, he might have eyes on him.
It is also burdensome to refuse a love call.
Because his maternal grandfather was the Earl of Eili Island (Ingleson Kingdom-Colony).
In a way, half of his blood belonged to the Ingleson Kingdom.
“Same as I think. Certainly, Captain Lian must have been the one who gave the order when the sea fog was in the air earlier.”
“I didn’t do anything particularly great, I just kept a record with my subordinates. How could I have known that there would be sea fog? lol.”
Ryan moderately put himself down.
On top of that, he smiled brightly like a child towards the person who complimented him.
‘Don’t roll your eyes. I’m not an admiral, I’m the one who should be the king.’
The reason for doing this was simple.
The Grand Admiral of Ingleson Kingdom, Neizar, was a very awake person even when he was awake.
From nob le mt l. com
Just by politely asking for his opinion from a child, Lian, it was clear that he was different from normal people.
It is Neyzar’s work to later appoint Charlotte Berry and make him the next Grand Admiral.
“Right. I have no choice but to say sorry. Tsk.”
The Ingleson Kingdom’s flagship slowly moved to the center of the battlefield.
The opposing side’s flagship, a special class battleship, also headed toward the center.
Let’s go! rattle.
The two ships slowly rendezvoused.
Personnel from both sides stood on deck facing each other.
Of course, the most notable.
“Meet His Highness, the prince of the Serang Empire.”
The Grand Admiral of Ingleson Kingdom first greeted according to the manner.
At that, Prince Clodo couldn’t straighten his frown.
“I admire your resourcefulness and leadership. And good luck.”
accepted as much
At this level, the mad prince had made a lot of concessions.
Originally, he couldn’t think of the option of withdrawing from each other for maintenance during battle.
I have enough skills.
Of course, land warfare is his major, but later he shows decent commanding power at sea.
“yes. Lucky for you. How did you know there would be sea fog there? Wouldn’t that be the will of Messal, the god of the sea, to make a truce?”
“Does that mean that your kingdom will give up the Duchy of Nodirmans and Anjou?”
In response, Grand Admiral Ingleson shook his head slightly and smiled.
“That land is a legitimate land passed down from the ancestors to the queen. That is not a matter for the warden to decide in the first place.”
“Then I have nothing more to say. Let the practitioners discuss it.”
After saying that, the prince of the Serang Empire entered the mission.
In fact, the reason he participated in this year’s battle was because of Nodirmans and Ange.
Since he was not the crown prince, he calculated that if he acquired the land, it would be his own.
Originally, it was the territory of the Thrang Empire, but it was given as a fief to one of the Norse tribal chiefs. A subsequent war brought the land into the possession of one of Ingleson’s royalty.
As it continued succession after succession, it was succeeded to the current King Ingleson and complicatedly twisted.
In other words, the Duke of Nodirmans inherited the throne of the Kingdom of Ingleson, and it was five minutes before the opening.
It was also a headache that he had paid taxes to the Serang Empire during his time as Duke of Nodirmans to avoid war.
In a way, King Ingleson is a servant of the emperor of the Thrang Empire, but from the outside, he becomes equal as a ruler who rules a country.
(Ingleson did not recognize Thrang as an empire, so he regarded it as the same king.)
After all, this war was fought to correct that dog’s genealogy.
In a way, it is a civil war, but in a way, it is a war between nations.
“Long time no see. Neizar.”
Now, the conversation between the grand admirals, who are practical practitioners, remains.
“yes. Was it the first time in 5 years that we saw each other at sea like this? Ball of Portlang.”
The two grand admirals seemed to know each other.
From the greetings of the two, it felt like they had already been close to each other before this meeting.
“Your skills have improved a lot. Moving troops in the sea fog. Always keep track of your location. It has become very detailed.”
Otherwise, how could the ship move carelessly in the sudden sea fog?
Of course, that was what the deceased Lian did.
“what. Isn’t that enough to be called an admiral? hahahaha.”
Grand Admiral Ingleson’s reply was a mockery of sorts.
You guys were criticizing that three admirals and a total of four people including the grand admiral participated in the war.
Certainly, the size of the navy between the Ingleson Kingdom and the Thrang Empire was on a different level.
“Hmm. That’s done. After the prisoner exchange, let go of the troops. Don’t you have any intention of continuing the battle like this?”
“The prisoner exchange will happen later. It’s difficult right now because there are people who need to be put on trial.”
This was key.
Many of them were wiped out because Lian drove the traitorous Pirate King’s subordinates and the Norse pirates to one side.
The Inglesons have taken them captive and don’t want to give them up.
Even if the prisoner exchange is postponed to a later date.
“joy!! That’s not too much. We just participated as mercenaries!!”
One of the betrayed pirates was furious.
Among the representatives of the other side, there was also Blackbeard Planck, the instigator of the betrayal.
It wasn’t looking good, but it looked like it had a rough naval battle.
Fortunately, he was not captured and was able to participate in this meeting.
“Because if we just let go of those who betrayed us, we won’t lose face.”
“I think they ignore them as pirates, but we were just conducting military operations.”
Planck’s explanation.
It wasn’t a day or two for a mercenary to lift a spear backwards depending on circumstances, and it wasn’t wrong.
The problem is if you release all the traitors you caught.
Even after the war, it was obvious that he would continue to harass the Ingleson Kingdom with the support of the Thrang Empire.
“hehehe.”
At that time, Rian shook his shoulders alone and laughed quietly.
-Who’s laughing?
-Looks like that guy.
-this… Even though I’m at the age of smiling at the rolling leaves.
– It wasn’t about involving a child in the negotiations.
All those gathered here are captains who are in one place.
No matter how quiet his smile was, his gaze gathered when he noticed Lian acting strangely.
“You don’t have to catch them all. Wouldn’t it be possible to save face by killing the least honorable one?”
Lian asked Grand Admiral Ingleson quietly.
Anyway, in the current situation, we have to make a concession.
In fact, it doesn’t matter to Rian whether or not the Ingleson Kingdom is harassed after the war.
only one thing you want
“Is there a way? Captain Lian.”
“Leave it to me.”
Ryan took a step forward.
Of course, Planck recognized Lian.
“kid!!! What kind of seat are you talking about! go away.”
Planck trembled at the sight of Lian.
It seems that he is very angry.
“I warned you that you would regret it if you saw me at sea, right?! I would have said that wit and wit was my specialty.”
“so. What do you think you can do? I was young so I didn’t know. If we fight like this, we will win.”
At that, Ryan smiled.
“Even if you win the battle, you will lose the war.”
“What bullsh*t is that?”
Rian stretched her arms behind her and gently pulled Leopold’s neck.
Outwardly, of course, very politely.
“The reason is you. You pervert. Of course you remember this person?!”
