Volcano Shipping Company has achieved another success, forcing the Royal Knights to retreat.
After this news was passed back to the court of Elba, the nobles did not laugh at Marquis Nicta. It was not easy to laugh at him, because if they were to do it, they would not know how to deal with the Crucible.
The Crucible has exaggerated the number of resurrections, the identity of the Southern Cross Assassin, and the 8th level alchemical bullets of the Alchemical Council. It is impossible to kill him. If he makes a mistake and is caught and broken, he will be killed instantly by the 8th level alchemical bullets.
Only the werewolf messenger kept calling out on different occasions, strongly demanding that the Elba royal family arrest the wizard who killed the werewolf messenger and recover the werewolves who are wandering outside.
The nobles reacted calmly to this. Cooperation with werewolves is controversial. Werewolves have a very bad reputation. The rudeness of this werewolf messenger disgusted the court. He was worse than the last werewolf in a ridiculous yellow suit. This werewolf was topless every day and wore a vacuum cowhide skirt. It was unbearable to look at him when he sat down.
After forcing the Royal Knights to retreat, the tense atmosphere in the smuggling fleet was swept away. Although they only had one armed escort ship, it was very powerful. The captains of the cargo ships had more confidence in this smuggling.
The Volcano also deliberately passed by Red Beard Port. Red Beard Port was desolate and there was no force to take over. Maybe it's because the owners of Red Beard Island, Furnace and Green Skull, are still alive, so no pirate dares to take over.
Leave Red Beard Island and continue sailing east for four or five days, and you will leave the east-west Sarago Sea and enter the wider Winter Ocean. The Winter Ocean has no end, and I don't know what's on the other side of the ocean.
The alchemists here are not good, and they all have steam turbines, but the captains who sail around the world still go out and never return. There has never been a legend of discovering a new continent, and I don't know what dangers are deep in the Winter Ocean.
The North Continent and the South Continent seem to be the whole of this planet, making people feel lonely.
Go north in the Winter Ocean and you can enter the waters of the Cantal Union.
A week later, the fleet arrived at the first major port of the Cantal Union, which was also the destination of this trip.
When the merchants on the shore saw the Oyster Bay flag belonging to the Elba Alchemy Council on the fleet, they were more excited than the Elba people on the ship.
It had been a long time since they had seen the cargo ships of the Elba Alchemy Council. This huge fleet actually crossed the Sarago Sea. This was not an ordinary fleet, but a ship of golden shields!
After the long voyage, Rudolf and his companions could finally take a break. They came to the tavern and prepared to relax.
Before entering the tavern, Rudolf saw the drinkers running out of the tavern in a hurry, as if something terrible had happened in the tavern.
Rudolph found a bar and walked in. The bar was empty, and several waiters were standing around the bar at a loss.
"4 beers! 1 glass of red wine!"
Rudolph, Ivonne, Cooper, Drake, and Michaels found a table and sat down.
Soon, two people appeared at the table behind Rudolph, and Rudolph had to turn around and sit at the table behind him.
"Furnace, I'm surprised to see you here. I'm Jonathan, the director of the Bluestone Province Court."
"Hello, Director Jonathan."
"Did you know that the Court of the Senate of the United States of Cantal is looking for you?"
"I don't know, but I can guess."
"You killed the speaker and hospital director of Zihai City, and destroyed an important fertilizer factory."
Rudolf didn't waste any more words. He took out the letter of introduction: "This is the letter of introduction from the Elba Alchemy Council, written by the commander-in-chief of the Constitutional Army. I don't want to argue with you about who was right and who was wrong in what happened on the Purple Beach. If you agree with this letter, I will continue to complete my business. If you don't agree, then I will leave. As for whether to fight with you before leaving or leave directly, it's all fine."
Rudolf was also very annoyed. He didn't know why, there were enemies everywhere, and no force could get along well with Rudolf.
The evil characteristics of wizards were the main reason. There was nothing that could be done for Ivonna to break up with the Elba nobles.
In order to fight against the knights, the Elba Alchemy Council and the Cantal Alchemy Council have already formed an alliance. The Elba Alchemy Council is fighting for the common interests of the alchemists.
Chairman Jonathan carefully read the introduction letter from the commander-in-chief of the Constitutional Army of Elba. In the introduction letter, it was said that most of the support from the Cantal Union was transported by land through the railway of the Carolingian Alchemy Council. The cost of land transport was too high, 6 times higher than the cost of sea transport.
The support was paid. The Elba Alchemy Council was no longer able to afford the discounted supplies, so they wanted to continue to transport by sea.
Wizard Furnace is crucial in maritime transport. He has the ability to cross the Saragoo Sea. They hope that the Contal Alchemy Council will not pursue the crimes committed by Furnace in the Contal Union for the sake of fighting against the Knights. When the war is over, the Constitutional Army will assist the Contal Union Tribunal to arrest Furnace.
Seeing the seals of the Elba Constitutional Army and the House of Lords in the letter introducing him, Jonathan knew why Furnace was so fearless.
The materials loaded from the Union of Cantal had to travel a long railway, consume countless coal, and cross the entire Carolingian Kingdom before they could enter the Elba Alchemy Council. This was very inefficient and far less costly than shipping by sea.
"I understand. I will bring this letter of introduction to the Council. I hope you will not act rashly before the Council responds, and will not commit unforgivable crimes again."
After hearing what Jonathan, the president of the Tribunal, said, Rudolf smiled and said nothing. He also did not agree, because he did not look for trouble, and if trouble came to him, there was nothing he could do.
After sending away the people from the court, Rudolf asked Michael to contact the shipyard here to see what the two ships of the Wizarding Society were like and whether they could be taken away this time.
A day later, Michael came back from the shipyard. He said that the situation was good. The military shipyards worked overtime, but the civilian shipyards were shrinking. The workers had no orders to do, and many teams were thrown on the ships of the Wizarding Society. This allowed the two ships of the Wizarding Society to be completed ahead of schedule. As long as the final payment was paid, they could take the two ships away now.
When Rudolf arrived at the port again, he saw his two new ships.
The Giant is now a cargo ship, and the two ships of the Wizards, Pisces 1 and Pisces 2, have also been transformed into cargo ships. The smuggler Snug has 8 cargo ships, which is already 11 cargo ships. What surprised him was that the alchemist merchants of Cantal actually made 10 cargo ships.
In addition to these cargo ships, there are two supply ships full of coal.
That is to say, Rudolf, with one Volcano, has to escort 23 ships.
This is too much trust in Rudolf. Rudolf quickly found Michael and said to him: "Quick! Quick! Tell those Cantal merchants to pay more!"
Michael nodded in agreement. He also felt that the fleet of 23 ships was too large.
"Captain, I got a piece of news. Cantal's goods used to be sold to the west through the railway of the Carolingian Kingdom, but the conflicts between the alchemists and nobles in the Carolingian Kingdom are acute, and there is a possibility of a civil war. At that time, the railway will not be smooth, so the merchants here have blocked so many cargo ships here at once to avoid danger."
This is bad news. Rudolf does not have much affection for his hometown, the Carolingian Kingdom, but he does not want it to fall into civil strife.
"Oh, I know. It's all because of the destruction of power. The alchemists and noble knights of the Carolingian Kingdom are also coming in. But this does not affect our increase in fees. Tell those merchants that we can't protect their ships without double the freight."
