Chapter 2080: The backyard was robbed?
Soon, the knight captain was betrayed and brought before Zhao Chen.
The knight captain who was shouting on the shore earlier.
At this moment, however, they were speechless.
His forehead was covered in sweat, his face was pale, and he dared not say a word.
He was terrified that he might lose his head if he wasn't careful.
“You are their commander.” Zhao Chen looked at the man dressed as a medieval knight in front of him.
"I...I'm not." Captain Knight shook his head repeatedly.
“Since it’s not, then let’s throw it out to feed the sharks,” Zhao Chen said.
The soldiers next to him immediately prepared to lift him up, as if he were about to be thrown into the sea to be eaten by sharks.
"No, no, no, no! I am, I am, I am the commander of these people!" the Knight Captain shouted immediately.
Zhao Chen looked at the pale-faced man.
"Don't worry, I won't kill anyone indiscriminately."
You are now my prisoners, as long as you behave.
My principle has always been to treat prisoners of war humanely.
"Be good, be good."
I'm the most obedient person; my greatest strength throughout my life has been my obedience.
"But if someone lies to me."
I hate it when people lie to me; if they do, I'll throw them out to the sharks.
Captain Knight swallowed hard and assured him, "The thing I hate most in this life is a liar."
I would never lie, I promise!
Zhao Chen then formally asked, "Where are you from?"
"The Kingdom of Prit!"
As expected, the Kingdom of Plit is from the same country as Dacro.
It is one of the five great kingdoms on that western continent.
Why have you come here?
Captain Knight remained silent for a moment.
But when he sensed the murderous aura around him and heard the sound of waves in the distance, he seemed to see those sharks opening their bloody mouths at him.
He immediately replied, "We are here on orders to find an island with treasure!"
"An island with treasures."
Tell me in detail what happened, and tell me everything you know.
"If I find out anything you're hiding..." Zhao Chen suddenly brandished the dagger in his hand.
"I'll tell you everything!" The Knight Captain seemed to have resigned himself to his fate.
In any case, nothing is more important than saving your own life right now.
He recounted everything that had happened in the Kingdom of Plitt because of Baron Dacroix.
Then he recounted everything that the duke above him had instructed him to do.
He explained it in great detail, and even in the end, fearing he might have missed something, he recalled it several times.
All the information was added back.
She cautiously glanced at the man opposite her.
Now, I guess I've saved my life.
Kingdom of Plit... Duke Wenger... Baron Darkroh... Treasure
Just as he had guessed.
After acquiring these jewels and diamonds, Dacroix quickly became wealthy upon returning home.
Such a rapid rise naturally attracts the covetous eyes of others.
This has led to the current situation.
"You are very honest, and I like that."
I hope you enjoy your life here.
"Reform them well, and I believe you will have a bright future." Zhao Chen looked at the knight captain in front of him with satisfaction.
Captain Knight was completely dumbfounded.
He didn't understand what it meant to "reform properly".
It wasn't until he changed into work clothes, took out a shovel, and was urged to go down into the mine by soldiers with long guns behind him that he finally understood.
He understood.
So the so-called "renovation" just meant working in the mines here.
Although it was a bit tiring, this was already considered good treatment for a prisoner.
At least they are still alive.
Time passes by little by little.
The sea quickly washed away the stench of blood from the battlefield, but many warship wrecks still drifted in the area.
At that moment, a fleet of ships was slowly approaching.
The JF-17's sentries spotted the fleet early on.
But this fleet was flying a flag that they all recognized.
That's the flag of Dacroix's fleet.
His fleet comes here to trade every three months, and it's about time now.
Dacroix's fleet naturally discovered the wreckage of the naval battle here.
At the prompting of his men, he rushed to the deck wreckage in an instant.
Upon seeing the wreckage of those warships, he immediately understood what had happened.
Someone has made a move on his treasure.
Although he had anticipated that such a thing would happen sooner or later.
But he never expected it to happen so quickly.
It should be noted that his Dacrovi family has only just risen to prominence and does not yet have a sufficient foundation.
His only value to that important figure is that he can provide a continuous supply of these jewels and diamonds.
Once this function is no longer needed, it will quickly lose its value.
By then, he would no longer be the rapidly rising Baron Dacroix.
All the beautiful fantasies we once had about the future will vanish.
Therefore, he was extremely anxious at that moment.
He immediately ordered his fleet to dock quickly.
He desperately needed to know what was happening on the continent he depended on for survival.
Has his treasure already been stolen?
His fleet was approaching the coastline.
They were blocked by several sailboats.
But when he saw these sailboats, he was filled with excitement and joy.
Because the flags on these sailing ships are still the eagle flags of that king.
However, he had not yet let go of his worries.
What we know now is that the JF-17 Thunder still exists.
However, it exists independently, or perhaps it has already negotiated some kind of cooperation with representatives of certain forces, excluding him from the picture.
He is still unsure about these things.
The soldiers on the sailing ship warned that no {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} foreign vessels were allowed to approach the beaches of the Dragon Continent.
Baron Dacroix expressed his understanding of this.
However, he produced the token that King JF-17 had given him, indicating that he now wished to see King JF-17.
The soldiers on the other side responded...
He can go alone, but his fleet and soldiers must all remain here.
In the past, he might have been afraid or worried.
But now, all the fear and worry in his mind have disappeared.
He urgently needed to figure out what was going on here.
He used to be just a knight, but now he is a baron.
He has gained a lot, and he wants more.
This greed also made him realize that if he wanted to gain more, he had to take risks.
Therefore, he is now willing to take risks without hesitation.
He boarded the sailing ship opposite and strictly ordered his subordinates that under no circumstances should they forcibly land on the island, and even less should they engage in any acts of force.
Anyone who violates this rule will be executed!
And so he began to approach the treasure he had longed for.
On the way, when we passed by those warship wrecks.
He discovered that most of those warships appeared to have been built by their kingdom.
This left him somewhat incredulous.
Were all these warships destroyed by that king?
Those sailing ships were nothing special; they were all outdated and only used by some merchant caravans and pirates.
But he also saw ironclad ships among them.
Although ironclad ships were completely phased out from regular armies, they still possessed a certain degree of combat capability for them.
Many lords still equip themselves with their own private navy.
It is quite effective in dealing with the natives on some remote islands.
But these ironclad ships are now all drifting haphazardly in this sea area.
Before landing on the island, Baron Dacroix tried to find out what had happened there from the soldiers on the ship.
However, the soldiers all seemed wary and didn't reveal any useful information to him.
Until he stepped onto that familiar beach.
But the person who appeared before him was not His Majesty the King, with whom he had been on friendly terms.
It was his secretary.
She is a very beautiful woman, but she is also very capable at work.
At first, he thought the secretary was only there to satisfy some need of the king.
After all, such positions also exist among some noble families.
However, after several encounters, it was discovered that this secretary was not only beautiful, but also possessed extremely strong work abilities.
In fact, his level of professionalism in his work surpassed that of anyone else he knew.
"Uh...where is His Majesty the King?"
"I wish to see Your Majesty the King," Baron Dacroix immediately stated his request.
"Our Emperor is very disappointed in you."
"You should know why." Barbara's expression was cold, even though she was a secretary.
However, the chilling aura emanating from her was no less than that of the generals on the battlefield.
All the secretaries in the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire were under Lilith's arrangement.
They all needed to be trained on the front lines and had no experience serving as secretaries in frontline fleets for a period of time.
They will not be added to Lilith's secretarial department.
Lilith knew very well that the Dragon Star Empire had relied on a single soul since its inception.
This soul can only be formed on the battlefield.
Within this empire, these secretaries held extraordinary positions.
If they only formulate plans from the rear without any understanding of the front-line battlefield, then their plans and schemes, as well as their own ideas, will be out of touch with reality.
Therefore, these secretaries must know what the generals at the front are thinking and understand why they deploy and arrange the battle in this way.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Upon hearing Miss Barbara's cold words, Baron Dacroix's heart sank to the bottom.
"I can explain!"
I can explain.
I have no ill intentions toward our Dragon Kingdom.
Please, Miss Barbara.
I only wish to see His Majesty once.
Just one side.
If this aspect still fails to gain His Majesty's trust...
"I, Dacrovi, will never bother you again!" Baron Dacrovi solemnly assured him.
Barbara looked thoughtful.
Dacroix then uttered some oaths, swearing by his faith and his family.
He looked like he could rip his own heart out if he could.
In the end, Miss Barbara seemed to be truly moved by his sincerity.
With a cold expression, he said, "Originally, because of what happened here, I would not have allowed you to see His Majesty."
But seeing your sincerity...
I can pass on a message to you.
However, whether or not I can see His Majesty depends on His Majesty's mood.
"Drop all your weapons and come with me."
“I didn’t bring any weapons,” Baron Darkroe said immediately.
He did not consider bringing any weapons before going ashore.
He went to the island alone, and if something unexpected happened, it would be useless for him to carry any weapons.
Why not simply not carry any weapons and directly demonstrate your utmost sincerity?
Barbara did indeed glance at him twice.
Then he led him toward the castle.
After entering that Dragon City.
Baron Dacroix could see the chilling atmosphere in the city, as if a bloody battle had just taken place.
He had experienced this before, after a war.
That was during a conflict between their kingdom and the neighboring kingdom, when a border clash occurred and the two sides fought fiercely.
And he happened to be among them.
That was the atmosphere in the city after each day's battle.
The person you saw yesterday may be a corpse today, and some may not even be found.
He could never forget that war.
Even now, I am often awakened by this war.
Fortunately, that war also earned him the position of knight.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have this opportunity now.
"Wait here, and don't go anywhere," Barbara said coldly to Dacroix.
They then entered the castle in the center of Dragon City.
“I’m counting on you, Miss Barbara,” Darkro said with a fawning smile.
And so he waited there.
The wait was long.
He felt as if he had lived for several hours.
But in reality, only a dozen minutes had passed on the pocket watch.
Soon, the door opened.
Barbara appeared inside the gate.
"His Majesty invites you in."
You should be thankful that His Majesty is in a fairly good mood right now.
"But it's also possible that His Majesty might throw you off from there later," Barbara said coldly.
above.
Dacromet glanced at the castle walls, which were more than ten meters above the ground.
If he were to fall from this place, he probably wouldn't have many good pieces left on him.
But he still resolutely walked into the castle, through the corridors he had visited several times before.
In the past, when discussing serious matters, he would be taken to the office or the garden.
But this time, he was taken to the cemetery.
right.
It's a cemetery.
Who would have thought that there would be a cemetery behind such a castle?
There was also a bloody smell in the air.
When he entered the area, he saw hundreds of corpses covered with white sheets on the ground, with blood seeping through the sheets.
And the Dragon King who had previously been kind and friendly to him, greeting him with a smile.
Standing in front of these corpses, their faces were filled with murderous intent and coldness.
This gave him a jolt.
He couldn't help but glance at Barbara beside him.
Is this considered being in a good mood?
