Chapter 905: Attack (Part 1)

April

Going out from the door is a deep spring sunshine

The magic tower's external passage is paved with bluestone slabs. The trees on both sides are dense. The morning sunlight penetrates the layers of branches and projects onto the ground, making them colorful. However, the long corridor of the Mage Tower is indeed very deserted, and no one can see a long time.

Occasionally, there are a few people who appear around the corner in the distance. These people are busy walking quickly and will not look at the top at all.

Standing at the corner of the stairs on the top floor, Romon silently looked at the spiral stairs below, with a calmness in his eyes that made people unable to tell what it was.

Step back to the corridor and walk towards the viewing platform.

There, the wind blew gently, and by the half-open transparent window, the curtain of the same transparent color swayed gently, and Romon walked over and stood there.

There was another man there, who came earlier than him. Seeing a man walking by, Fafer, who was standing here earlier, turned around and looked at Romon.

"Sir, I heard you are here, so I'll come up and take a look."

Romon smiled faintly, his eyes looked out from the transparent window to the endless blue in the distance: "How about it, do you feel about this inspection of the port defense? Let's hear it."

"I am basically satisfied. The port's defense is in place. Although some newly recruited soldiers have not been trained yet, it is still okay to fight according to orders." Fafell shrugged and said, "As for the navy, this is the matter of Governor Shakat and Governor Pik, but I heard that the situation is not bad. Three warships have been launched. Because of the backbone, they quickly formed combat power."

"At present, it is indeed enough for soldiers who can obey orders to fight. There should be still time for future events." Romon thought and said.

Fafel looked at Romon on the side. He had already seen Romon's concern and asked, "Is it the pirates that make you feel a little upset?"

You should know that the Tetashaul has always spared no effort in destroying pirates, and has always been ruthless in his attitude towards pirates.

Some time ago, among the chambers of commerce that were attacked, there were two small chambers of commerce from Tetashaw. They were attacked by the mysterious pirates at sea. None of them survived, and all the wealth they brought was also plundered by pirates. As soon as this incident happened, it caused a panic on Tetashaw.

Some chambers of commerce that originally wanted to trade with the elves suddenly shrank back.

Some chambers of commerce that do not intend to trade with elves but have to rely on sea trade to live, have also resisted not daring to go out to sea again.

After all, which is more important than making money or life? As long as you are a smart person, you will know how to make a choice.

"Yes, the profession of pirates is still rampant. Although the main target of the pirates that came out some time ago was those merchant ships, no one knows what their ultimate goal is and how big the ambition is. We must do a good job of defensive work. Yuanfan Port City has just been expanded, and it is a period of development. We must not let any foreign forces destroy the development plan we set. The royal family cannot be, the glorious church cannot, the elves cannot, and the pirates cannot be equally unavailable!"

Speaking of this, Romon looked at the endless blue in the distance and sneered.

"The beautiful sea has infinite wealth, and wealth always brings constant bloody events, not only human greed and ambition, but also to obtain resources and space."

"No species living in this world cannot avoid this essence, but different interests, different positions, and different methods of choice."

"Sir, what you said is a bit profound." Fafeer scratched his head and sighed: "What do you want to say? Are you not satisfied with life?"

"No, I just suddenly feel that our life and life are very interesting." Romon smiled softly, looked at the sea, and suddenly had an epiphany. He said with a smile: "Look, the sea that comes into our eyes is full of blue colors everywhere. This color is so beautiful under the sunlight."

"But these may be just an illusion that our naked eyes see. Perhaps, it shouldn't have been blue at first, but our eyes see it blue, and they stubbornly think that it is blue."

"Isn't life the same? We think that an inherent lifestyle is right, so the descendants have passed down this way, and the younger generations will continue to live like this."

"Constantly eating, drinking, sleeping, fighting, killing, and wandering in a small world. Such a greedy life may feel interesting, but if it is always like this, it will make people feel bored."

"Sometimes, I am really tired of the constant killing between races, but as a human being and a lord in the ground, I have to fulfill my own responsibilities, and the battle must be carried out."

"I kept wondering, if one day there was a man who had a power that was so powerful that even God feared, could he change the whole world?"

"Have a power that is so powerful that even Gods are afraid of? Change the whole world?" Fafeer was a little stunned. He looked at Romon and asked for a while, "Isn't this your goal?"

This time, Romon actually learned Fafell's previous actions, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Don't worry, this is at least not my current target."

"What is your goal now? To wipe out more pirates or expand more territory?" Fafell asked.

"Not all, why are you going to destroy the pirates? It's not my responsibility. Let these new pirates fight with the elves."

"As for expanding the territory, how to expand it now? This kingdom has reached its peak. If it really wants to expand, it is also limited land abroad, which means little."

"My goal now is to have a good rest without any worries, accompany my wife and children, drink, listen to music, watch the play, and continue to relax!" Romon said with a look of comfort and expectation.

"Tsk! Lord Lord, have you lived like this all the time?" At this moment, Fafell really wanted to not despise Romon.

"It seems that the person who has been playing cattle and horses in the territory is me and Nick?" Fafell said accusing with some grief and anger.

"Haha! Why should I be so serious? I am an ideal, do you understand? Whether it is realized or not, this is my life ideal!" After being accused by Fafell, Romon, a person with a strong face, couldn't help but turn a little red.

"By the way, Fafell, I thought about the pirates carefully and felt a little suspicious." After laughing for a while, Romon returned to his serious appearance and said.

"Suspicious? Tell me." Fafeer made a scrupulous gesture.

"First of all, the time when this pirate appeared is very suspicious." Romon's face turned to the sea, and there was a cold feeling in his voice.

"In the past, there were indeed pirates, but as the pirate king Wadenwen surrendered to the elves and ascended the throne to become kings, the pirate activities have decreased a lot, and their strength has dropped significantly compared to before."

"This is because the Pirate King has taken away most of its strength. Pirates, like anything, have a development process. It will take at least twenty years for pirates to recover to their original situation."

"Before the elves traded with humans, the situation at sea was still calm. Although there were some small pirates moving, they were very small and basically did not dare to touch these medium and large caravans. These caravans that dared to go out to sea and trade with elves all had certain strength, and this strength was far beyond those pirates."

"Besides, there is also the existence of the elves fleet. It is impossible for these original pirates to take the initiative to touch the elves' bad heads. If this mysterious pirate had existed before, why have we never heard of it? They seemed to have emerged out of thin air. After the elves and humans traded, the news of their attack on merchant ships came. Don't you think it was suspicious?"

After hearing what Romon said, Fafer quickly thought of the problem, and his face changed suddenly: "Are you saying that this pirate is targeting the elves?"

"Well, the second question is that unless it is an experienced pirate team, it is impossible to commit those major cases. However, this is related to the previous problem. Why does a pirate group that has never been known before have such strong strength and rich experience? I heard that their equipment is also very good. How can such a pirate team not be strange?"

After hearing this, Fafell nodded repeatedly: "You are right. These two suspicious points do make people doubt it. After you say this, it seems that this pirate team has many mysteries."

Romon said lightly: "Although I don't know what kind of origin this group of pirates has, I already have a feeling... I feel that they are not real pirates. The reason they attacked merchant ships may be to seek wealth, but the main purpose is probably to destroy the trade between the elves and humans."

"These guys!" Hearing this, Fafer could no longer help but curse.

Romon on the side had a calm expression, but Fafell was still muttering: "Although I don't like the elves very much, in order to attack the elves' economy and to prevent the elves from communicating with humans, I pretended to be pirates to hurt those merchants. This is really too much, right? Their behavior is actually not much better than the elves' previous behavior, right?"

"At least, until they achieve their goals, the pirate's identity will continue to play." Romon said lightly.

"What should we do?" Fafell asked: "If they were played by some force, what should we do when they came to us?"

Hearing Fafeer's question, Romon couldn't help laughing. He was laughing at Fafeer's mind.

"If a pirate ran to Yuanfan Port, what should we do? What should we do?"

"You mean, we don't care who they are. Since they are now pirates, they deserve to be beaten, right?" Fafell slapped his forehead and said suddenly.

Romon nodded and looked in the direction of the sea again, but there was a faint sarcasm in his smile.

"No matter which force they belong to, they will be a bit inferior to their goals by using this method. Once the truth is known, these people will not only not receive the honor they deserve, but will instead be scolded by the world." After saying this, Romon kept silent.

In fact, he didn't say anything, that is, he had already confirmed the candidate.

It is the glorious church.

"I just wonder if this new pirates, who kill and plunder the caravans that trade with the elves, will they expand it when they gain a lot of wealth? If not, the power of the Radiant Church is indeed admirable. If so, it is just an ordinary church!"

Romon shrugged his shoulders and thought to himself that he did not say this sentence.

"By the way, I heard that there have been a lot of druid duels recently?" Fafer changed the subject and asked.

Speaking of this, Romon frowned: "Yes, there have been more than a dozen cases, and at least seven people on our side have died. This is someone targeting our union and using the excuse of differences to engage in duels."

"What should I do? Can I refuse the duel?" Fafell asked with a frown.

"Dull is an ancient tradition of druids. Generally, there are irreparable differences within druids. No one can convince anyone, so let's go for a duel."

"The duel must be signed under the oak tree to decide who is right and who is wrong!"

The duels within any profession have their own unique way of expression, and professions like druids are no exception. Their duels are chosen under the sacred oak tree.

Oak trees have beautiful shapes, crown tower shapes, and can reach more than 20 meters high, and their growth rate is neither fast nor slow. The leaves are unique, with bright red new leaves, dark green mature leaves, shiny, strong survival, strong stress resistance, dry resistance, high temperature, water and moisture, strong wind resistance, and prefer soil with good drainage, but they can also grow in clay soil.

Romon had not experienced this ritual himself, but he knew and witnessed it once about the significance of the oak tree to the druid.

Both sides walked under a lush oak tree, touching the bark that looked like a tree, and gradually showed green light on their hands.

"Like a tree is a symbol of our druids, with magical power. When the druids inject the tree-like power according to the ancient contract, they are not only our power, but even our souls. This duel, once signed, cannot be escaped, because the escaper will lose all the power of nature. This is an endless battle."

"But someone took advantage of this." Fafell nodded.

"Yes, we started a duel under the excuse of the contradiction between the old and new roads. Because the other party is targeted, we often lose more. This is actually a war!" At this point, Romon sneered, his face a little blue.

"What should I do?"

"What should I do if there is anything? They can use it, and I will do it!" Romon said with a sneer, remembering his tree-like stunt.

If you want to have a duel, the party being challenged can choose the location, so choose the party that has its own tree!
