The sun is shining and the sea breeze is blowing, looking at the endless vast sea, people who see this kind of sight for the first time will feel a magnificent, relaxed and happy feeling in their hearts.
Taking a deep breath, breathing the salty and wet sea breeze, walking on the soft and comfortable beach, looking at the extremely happy crowd around him.
"Is this the shore of the tide? Is this the most terrifying and brutal pirate in the Western Ocean? The czar's base?" The people in front of me, whether they are men, women, old or young, are so carefree, they They live in happiness every day, maybe their sorrow is just that they accidentally broke a delicate cup, or they feel that the island is not big enough, and it is far less vast than the land.
Ryan sat on a wooden box in front of the dock, took the last puff of cigarette deeply, and exhaled a cloud of emotional smoke. It has been a while since he and his companion Sakya came to this island called ‘the shore of the sea’s tide’, far away from the mainland and almost isolated from the world. He still has no intention of going back, because he still can't believe it after staying for so long. He doesn't believe that the base of the pirate giant is such a paradise on earth.
The people here are simple and kind, the girls here are innocent and lovely, there is no intrigue, no indifference to compete with you. When Ryan first came to this island, he was infected by the enthusiasm of the people here. They treated him like a relative who had returned from a distance, full of care and kindness.
"Hey, are you thirsty?" A coconut was thrown over, followed by a sixteen or seven-year-old girl in a swimsuit: "I see you sitting here smoking for so long. Must be thirsty and hungry. Drink it quickly."
Seeing the smile on the girl's face, Ryan couldn't help but smile. He flicked his finger on the coconut, and with a bang, a small hole popped out of the coconut shell. He took a long sip, licked his dry lips and said, "How do you know that I am thirsty? Have you been paying attention to me?"
The girl was ashamed and embarrassed by what he said, and she lowered her head and said nothing. Sometimes talking without talking.
Ryan took another sip and said, "The weather here is very good, but the weather is not hot anymore. You dress so coolly, so be careful of catching a cold."
"Thanks...thank you." The little girl kicked her feet in the sand, a little afraid to look up at him, and just said: "Why don't you play with us? Look at your friend, he plays with us. Very happy."
Sakya was a very dull person, and he always seemed to have something to hide in his heart, but he was so happy when he got here, he played with the people here every day, and forgot his worries.
"Don't you like it here?" The little girl finally couldn't help but raise her head and looked at the handsome guy she liked.
"I like here."
"Then why are you always alone?" the little girl asked again curiously.
Ryan sighed: "Because I like this place so much, I always feel that it is like a dream, so beautiful, so good that it makes me worry that this dream will break if I touch it."
The little girl took his hand and smiled: "This is not a dream, come on, come and play with us."
Ryan didn't want to resist, nor was he willing to resist. He was pulled into the crowd by this happy little girl, playing games together, playing in the sand, and dancing fun and funny beach strange dances together.
Happy days will always pass faster in time, unknowingly it is already dusk. The people on the island returned to their homes, and Ryan and Sakya also had their own homes.
"You had a great time today." When they entered the room, there was already a person in the room. It's the outlet. Since he sent them to this island, he hasn't shown up again, and didn't come to see them until then.
"Do you always like to break into someone else's cabin without permission?" Ryan sat down unhappy and poured himself a glass of water.
The house is a small wooden house, neither too big nor too small. It is no problem to live in two people.
Outlets didn't care, and said lightly: "It seems that you like it very much. I am also worried that you arrogant people will not be used to living on such a remote island."
Sakya said: "I can't believe that this is the residence of the pirate czar, and the bloodthirsty robbers who are rumored to kill without blinking will actually live in such a beautiful place."
"Are you surprised?" Outlets said, "Marcoxin and many of her men like to live here. They were pirates when they went to sea, and they are no different from ordinary people when they come back. And the rumors you heard, Many are just rumors. Some people always like to exaggerate things, and exaggerated rumors will only become more and more bizarre."
"You seem to be saying that the czar is a good man. Isn't it?" Ryan asked.
Otlester smiled lightly, neither answered nor denied, he just continued: "Makxin and the others don't live here many times, and she has another place as their pirate habitat. But. I have nothing to do with them here, I just want to ask you, do you still want revenge?"
"Of course." Ryan answered.
Outlet squinted at them: "You hesitate to answer."
Ryan said: "The determination to revenge, we will never change."
Outlets sighed: "The iron-blooded mercenary group has become like this, and we are somewhat responsible."
"Huh? What do you mean?" The ice monk Sakya was a little puzzled by what he said.
Outlet said: "In fact, we are the one who secretly hired you to go to the Blurred Realm."
Both Sakya and Ryan were taken aback: "What, you guys!?"
"Don't be angry. The task is entrusted by us, but it is your leader who is willing to accept this task. You two should not vent your anger on me."
Ryan and Sakya were indeed angry. The reason why the iron-blooded mercenary group had done this was because they were entrusted by the employment to go to the realm of confusion. If not, how could they have fallen into this miserable situation.
Sakya asked: "The czar's strength is so strong, why should I hire others to take risks in the top ten forbidden areas? Is it to find a way for the dead ghosts to help you?"
Outlet did not answer again, only said: "This is not what you should ask. If you want revenge, can I help you?"
"We want to revenge ourselves, and don't want to borrow someone else's hand." Ryan said.
"You misunderstood." Outlets said: "I don't like to help others with personal affairs. I mean helping you become stronger."
"Can you make us stronger?"
Outlets said: "I can't, but someone can. If you promise, I will take you to a place and meet someone in a few days, but you have to think clearly. After you meet that person, you will be ours. Now, you have to completely get rid of the identity of the iron-blooded mercenary group, and there is only one dead end."
Sakya thought for a while and asked, "What if we don't see that person."
"It's okay if you don't see it." The outlet said: "Remember what I told you on the boat when I came here? When you come here, you will have no freedom. You can only stay here for the rest of your life, and you can't leave."
Ryan and Saga glanced at each other and thought for a long time: "Okay, we promise to join you, but only if we wait for our revenge."
The outlet shook his head and stood up and said: "You don't have the right to make terms. I'm leaving, and I will come to pick you up in a few days."
…
Saint Picea, the royal capital.
In the current situation, Radat couldn't accept the defeat in front of him, and more importantly, it really had a chance to win the battle with the Holy Griffin Empire. So after two days of thinking and Duan's persuasion, Radat had the heart to fight the Demon Moon with all his strength, at least to sweep the Demon Moon back to the north of the Vulcan Mountains.
However, this matter has been unanimously opposed by many old ministers, saying that the domestic political situation has just stabilized, and the king has not yet been in power, and his position is still unstable. It is really necessary to stabilize the country first, eliminate rebellion, and calm people's hearts.
But Duan, who instigated the Rada feature war, also had his own opinion. He felt that it was precisely because of the domestic instability that he should be tough to the outside world and strengthen the cohesion of domestic forces by means of war, so that the people from above and below can go to the outside world.
This is also reasonable. Historically, there have been many cases of uniting the country by foreign wars and consolidating the stability of royal power. When external aggression makes people uneasy, internal contradictions have quickly subsided temporarily. Of course, most ministers opposed the war, and there were some other ideas among them. After Radat took office, he purged the royal capital and some civil and military officials in the country, and appointed many of his own cronies, but there are still many inside and outside the royal capital that did not exist at the beginning. Follow the crowd and follow the servants of the Iron-Blooded Prince, but although these people did not follow Zalborg, they did not have allegiance to Radat. In fact, when Zalbor was in power, they had an ambiguous relationship with Zalbor. If Radat decides to fight in an all-round way this time and succeeds, the front-line soldiers won military merits, of course they are loyal to Radat, so that King Radat has his promoted cronies inside and soldiers loyal to him outside. Those veteran ministers who are currently noble and powerful, naturally have no place to stand.
But in fact, although the opponents have status and prestige, not all ministers are opposed to it, and there are also many supporters of resisting national humiliation. Some of these people have a common heart for the country, and there is no lack of selfishness, so that their family relatives are on the battlefield. Those who made great contributions to their careers even followed Duan, and have already formed a group of supporters.
Some people supported and some opposed. Radat decided to start a war against Moyue and he had a certain degree of confidence, not to mention that he wanted to establish his own authority based on this in his heart. In fact, Radat is not a powerful and strategic monarch at all. This can be seen from his distrust of domestic political situation, foreign wars, repeated appointments and deployment of the army after he took office. He had been forbearing in the shadow of Zalberg before, just to save his life and protect his throne. Now he wants to go to war with the outside world just to consolidate himself. He is not really visionary, but has something to do.
