The sea is full of debris, with deck fragments and floating corpses rising and falling.
Knights on the sea will at least wear breastplates and helmets, which makes it easy for them to sink to the bottom of the sea after death. White Demon Priests do not have such worries. They float on the sea after death. White Demon Priests of Level 4 and below are only qualified to wear white church robes. The sea is full of priests wearing white robes.
The surviving ships of the White Demon Church have fled far away. When they fled, they turned off the light beads and were difficult to distinguish. They are not as arrogant as before.
To fight against the knights, you must have a crushing force, otherwise the knights will easily explode on the battlefield, just like today. It is obvious that the Royal Navy is getting weaker and weaker, but because of the appearance of pirate ships, the situation is reversed, and in the end it is the Navy of the White Demon Church that suffers heavy losses.
Commander Nahor of the East China Sea did not let the team pursue deeply. The second half of the knight's charge is the most vulnerable time, and it is easy to run out of strength. He turned around and asked, "Where is Kedrick? I told you to see him first after the battle."
"Commander! Master Kedrick of the Golden Anchor family has been promoted to a Level 4 Knight! He was injured during the promotion, and half of his shoulder was burned. He is receiving treatment on the medical ship."
The combat regulations require that treatment must be completed as soon as possible after the battle to avoid affecting the next battle, so the herald did not force Kedrick to see the commander.
"Oh? Promoted to a Level 4 Knight? The second Level 4 Knight heir of Count Palu?" Commander Nahor was a little surprised. This kid was really unexpected. He then said, "Then I'll go to the medical ship and see him first."
"Commander, aren't you going to deal with other things? Go see the noble private army first?"
Kedrick's clipper does not belong to the Royal Navy, but to the noble private army that came to help after receiving the king's summons. Logically, the commander should deal with the Royal Navy first.
"Go visit Kedrick first. The Golden Anchor Family can mobilize several Level 5 apostles. This is a big deal, and it is even more important for the Royal Navy."
Nahor, the commander of the East China Sea and also the Earl of the Peninsula, was a little emotional. Under the impetus of the war, the Earl of the Golden Anchor took out a trump card, which was two big pirates on the ancient sea of Sara, which was enough to change the situation in the ancient sea.
The flagship went backwards and gradually approached a white medical ship. This was the medical ship of the East China Sea Fleet, on which there were several Level 4 plague vectors.
When Commander Nahor stepped onto the medical ship, he explained to the staff officer in advance: "The last visit to the wounded, go to Kedrick's ward first."
Nahor entered Kedrick's ward amid the crowds.
Kedrick's left shoulder and half of his arm were red like a newborn kitten. The surface burns had just been treated and he was unable to move.
"No need to get up, lie down, lie down quickly." Nahor saw Kedrick wanted to sit up and hurriedly stopped him.
Standing beside the bed, Nahor said:
"Kedrick, thank you for your heroic battle, and thank Earl Golden Anchor for inviting several pirates. Those pirates unexpectedly broke the balance on the battlefield and defeated the enemy's right wing.
This allowed us to win the naval battle and prevented our rear from being occupied by the White Demon Church.
I will present the battle report to His Majesty the King. You should recover from your injuries first. When you recover, thank those pirates and Earl Golden Anchor on my behalf."
Although he looked a little miserable, Kedrick's eyes were extremely sharp. This was the confidence brought to him by the promotion:
"Commander Nahor, I have to correct one thing. Those pirates are not friends of the Earl's Castle, but my friends."
Hearing this, Commander Nahor was a little unbelievable. He slowly sat on the chair and prepared to learn more about the situation.
He looked at the young man in front of him in surprise: "Your friend?"
"Yes, my friend."
Hearing Kedrick's decisive words, Nahor instantly understood why. The first heir of the Earl of Golden Anchor was not the young man in front of him. Kedrick was under 16 years old, and unlike other families, he was not released from the castle and had no experience.
Rear Admiral Caleb was the heir that the Earl of Golden Anchor focused on training, and that young man was also excellent and outstanding.
Now Kedrick emphasized that those big pirates were his friends, and he obviously did not want to attribute the credit to his family, but to himself.
"When did you make friends with such a big pirate? As far as I know, he was an old pirate who roamed the Saragu Sea decades ago. The Green Skull was even a galley, and it was very old. Green Skull and Red Beard were both semi-retired pirates, and it was very rare to see them leave their old nest."
Kedrick said the prepared words: "Commander, when I was on my way to Doc Manor, I encountered the witch hunt of the Ancient Sea Wizard Society. In that naval battle, I met a few friends, and my friends introduced me to a few big pirates. When I responded to the call of His Majesty the King, I went to find those friends, and they said they would come to help me."
Kedrick did not say any extra details, acting as if there was a secret that was inconvenient to reveal. This explanation cannot be said to be all lies, but it cannot be said that there is much truth.
"Your friends are very loyal." Nahor sighed: "I will write down this credit, because it is because of your personal friendship that you invited several big pirates."
Nahor did not need to confirm whether those pirates were from the Earl of Golden Anchor Castle or Kedrick's people. He would write down that this was what Kedrick said himself.
If it was Earl of Golden Anchor's friendship, but his son claimed it was his own friendship, that would be good, as it would expose the dispute between Earl of Golden Anchor's descendants. Perhaps Earl of Golden Anchor would send a statement to correct his son's ignorance.
If what Kedrick said was true, that would be even better, as it would be a big favor for Kedrick.
"You should cultivate yourself, Lieutenant Colonel Kedrick."
Kedrick's eyes lit up. The commander promised that he would become a lieutenant colonel? He was a lieutenant colonel right after entering the navy? This was much better than the lieutenant given by family convention. Sure enough, taking the initiative to strive for more profit than the family distribution.
"Commander, I will recover from my injuries as soon as possible and report to you immediately!"
"I look forward to your arrival. I will give you a 60-gun ship. I hope you can make the Golden Anchor Flag more glorious."
"Yes, Commander!"
After leaving the room, the commander turned around and whispered to the staff officer: "Apply for the rank of lieutenant colonel for Kedrick, and explain to His Majesty the King that the Golden Anchor Family is not a monolithic entity. Kedrick can exert a greater influence on the Golden Anchor Family."
The nobles were scheming against each other. Nahor treated Pallu the same as Pallu treated Nahor. There was no need to say much. Everyone had a tacit understanding.
Kedrick was secretly excited in the ward. He made the right bet every step of the way.
He didn't know why the wizard Rudolf wanted to help him at this time, but he only looked at the result. If the result was in his favor, he would dare to promise anything.
Making friends with big pirates was a huge stain for the nobles in peacetime, but now, others would only think that Kedrick was outstanding and could actually subdue many pirates.
Kedrick looked out the small round window and sighed in his heart. Why was the wizard Rudolf so powerful? After being apart for more than half a year, he was able to get such a big pirate to work for him?
