The Sun King's Evidence

The flaming Eagle Claw military flag was flying above Marienburg's giant port pier, and the military band played exciting music.

"Undead pirates, Skaven, and northern barbarians have invaded our country again! But this time, we are fully prepared! The powerful fleet and artillery will help us destroy the enemy!" On the leaflet, a cartoon of the Ash Legion recruitment In the middle is a huge fleet, which is destroying the undead pirates through fierce artillery fire.

"You young men and women of the old world, fight for the future of all mankind!"

"We have a fleet!"

"We have weapons!"

"We need warriors!!!"

"We need outstanding officers like General Fernando Pirazzo!" Fernando Pirazzo, captain of the Phoenix Guards of the Ash Legion, has a tall figure and purple-gold plate armor all over his body, and his domineering figure holding a two-handed sword is scary. Look him straight in the eye.

"A devout knight like Lord Julius!" The expeditionary knight held a two-handed sword and dealt with a dozen greenskins alone. The light of the Lake God enveloped him.

"Warriors like Captain Pedro and General Felix Edmundovich!" In the comic, the cold-faced Hussar General Felix is ​​preparing to set off, while Captain Pedro roars: "Fight with all your might, soldiers, who of you wants endless glory and wealth?!"

"The Ember Legion needs you! Soldier, follow Captain Fulgrim to conquer the new world!"

"As long as you join the army, you can get a chance to be retried on any crime! If you join the army, you will become a free citizen!"

"Want to know more? Please go to the Ash Legion recruitment office in Marienburg immediately for more detailed information!"

More than ten years later, Marienburg is still as prosperous and prosperous as before. Even though the Winter Veil is approaching, large groups of cargo ships and warships are still coming in and out of the port. It is extremely prosperous and the streets are crowded to the point of abnormality. People gathered at the Ashes Legion's propaganda site and recruitment point. Many vicious gangsters and adventurers who wanted to make a career were asking about the treatment and environment.

On the contrary, the place where Bafeng Mountain's national debt is sold is opposite the Ash Legion recruitment office. The simple mansion is really sparse, and no one pays attention to it at all.

The Grand Duke of Marienburg, Van der Cooper-Schulz, and his butler Muller stood on top of a single-family villa belonging to him, staring at the recruiting point in the distance. Schulz lowered his head, obviously thinking. What was he talking about, while his courtier and butler Muller stood respectfully behind Schulz. More than ten years later, Muller did not show any signs of aging. It can be seen that this Schulz’s The butler is certainly not a weakling.

"Can't Bafengshan's national debt still be sold?" Schultz was wearing a luxurious silk dress. Compared to before going to Kurona to watch the coronation ceremony, Schultz's clothes had an extra golden double-headed eagle pattern. Zhang, looking at the lively crowd, turned to Mueller and asked.

"There should be only a dozen people buying it these days." Muller said respectfully, standing behind Schultz.

"Have you found out who is secretly obstructing it?" Schultz frowned and asked.

"It's the Judon Chamber of Commerce of Van Hoogmans, Casanova of the League of Gentlemen, and... the romantic Adabe Huntsman." Muller whispered: "They think they are doing it very covertly, But everything is under our control... It's just my duke, they were very clean this time and couldn't find any problems. They controlled this operation through complex cash flow and various organizations, trusts and banks. There was neither use of force nor hostile takeover, and we have no excuse to take action."

"Huntsman? What does this old pervert want to do against King Ryan?" Schultz's face was a little uncertain: "Don't he know that this is issued through my channel? It seems that this old man The dogs are no longer obedient.”

Schulz and Adabe Huntsman have always maintained a delicate peaceful relationship. Since Schulz came to Marienburg, he has been committed to eliminating vampires and mastering Marienburg. After he gradually eliminated the hidden vampires in the entire city, naturally, the vacated gray area needed someone to master it. Adabbe Huntsman seized this opportunity very well and became Marienburg in one fell swoop. The leader of a well-known underground organization, the two sides formed a certain tacit understanding.

Schulz acquiesced to Adabe Huntsman's move, because even Schulz could not control the slums of Marienburg, the dark underground tunnels and the dark corners of ordinary neighborhoods. The cost was too high. The income is too low, so Huntsman and Schultz are like two sides of a coin. The two sides have reached a certain tacit understanding. Huntsman controls various gray areas and gang organizations, while trying to deal with the problem himself and not giving Marin Fort caused trouble, and Schultz turned a blind eye to Huntsman's affairs and reached a compromise.

From another perspective, Huntsman is indeed a very capable guy. This guy once accomplished an amazing achievement, that is, he slept with the current Grand Duke of Nord and the Elector Theodorik Geyser. Your wife! And it was not an accident, but a trap carefully designed by this guy. When the Kingdom of Nord suffered heavy losses in a series of wars and the invasion of Egil-Red Eye, Huntsman relied on his rich connections and financial resources. He expressed that he could provide a low-interest loan to the Nord royal family on the condition that the former capital of the Nord kingdom, Sessenmund, be leased for three years plus other additional conditions. In order to reverse the poor financial situation and tide over the difficulties, Geisel agreed to negotiate. Relying on this opportunity, Huntsman achieved his goal. This is one of his most proud masterpieces. This romantic man has a very special hobby for those beautiful noble ladies.

The situation in ruling Marienburg is different. Schulz definitely cannot be like a certain platform where trials rely on postings, evidence relies on oral confessions, and verification relies on imagination. If there is no doubt, the guilty must be judged, and the guilty must be sentenced, and the death penalty must be imposed. It is impossible for him to be in charge. Thirty years in Marienburg.

"Pay close attention to the movements of Huntsman and several other chambers of commerce." Schulz said to Mueller: "Since they have not broken the rules, we cannot act for the time being. The only thing we can do now is to wait for King Ryan's victory. message, and then we can fight back.”

"Yes." Mueller nodded.

"Now, we can only wait for news from Ryan."

…………I am the dividing line between the death penalty and the peace and prosperity of the country……

At the same time, the old world, the southern kingdom, Tyrell, and the pirate principality of Sartosa.

Sartosa is a special existence even in the southern countries that advocate freedom and democracy. This offshore island located in the south of Tilea has always been called the "Pirate Principality" or the "Free Country". It is just like the Trolls. Like the Realm, it is a notorious criminal paradise, harboring all kinds of pirates, bandits, lawless mercenaries, and anyone who wants to hide from the various law enforcement organizations of the old world.

It was an extremely dangerous place, with drunken pirates conscripting unprepared men, fights and duels happening all the time, and thieves roaming the dirty and crowded docks looking for easy targets.

Yet despite the risks, this is a place where those with a strong will to live can not only survive, but thrive, far from the constraints of unfair taxes, tyrannical aristocrats and strict laws, starting from Sartusa and going to Arabi in the south, the Border Princely Territory in the east, and the endless foreign lands across the sea.

All in all, Sartosa is a perfect place to find fame, plunder, and endless adventure.

There are few beaches or shoals on the island, as most of the land is raised above the sea by limestone cliffs that rise from dozens to hundreds of feet in the air. These walls are riddled with countless caves, tunnels, and pits, many of which are accessible from the water, making them particularly attractive to pirates who want to establish a pirate base outside the city's borders, as this can provide Enemies coming to attack Sartosa provide a perfect defense.

When Ryan led a group of old guards, together with dozens of knight squires, Kalad, Antelm, Fedmund, Veronica and Orica, they followed Arinasa-Saltwater When Hatred stepped onto the land of Satusa, the entire dock was full of hostile and vigilant eyes.

The dock is wide and full of guards. In this place, everyone wears scimitars and muskets, and everyone is deeply hostile to each other. Most people on the dock are often pirates, sailors, workers, and pickpockets. and small traders. Seeing the appearance of these well-dressed knights, nobles and old guards, these bandits were both a little greedy and a little afraid. They gathered together in twos and threes and looked at the new arrivals carefully. , whispering.

The sense of order in the knights and old guards is too obvious, which is a natural enemy for the pirates who prefer chaos.

"Sister...Sister, you are finally back. These people..." Several pirates with turbans on their heads, muskets and scimitars hanging on their waists, and short sleeves and trousers walked up and stood in front of everyone. .

"This is our... partner. They have something to do when they come to Sartosa. I brought them here according to my father's instructions." Arinasa-Saltwater Hate frowned, holding a handful in her hand Harpoon said to Ryan and others: "You are not welcome on Sartosa! But since you are looking for Captain Ross, I give you permission to board the island. In this place, your chivalry and imperial laws will not matter. Yes, this is a free land, belonging to pirates, absolutely free, the only thing you need to abide by is the Pirate Code!"

"Pirate Code? This is the first time I've heard of it." Standing on the dock, Kalad could feel an instinctive disgust, which was the instinctive disgust of order towards chaos. He suppressed his displeasure and said to Salt Grudge. : "What code? If I force it, I'm justified? If I steal it, it's mine?"

"There are only three laws that you need to abide by. First, those who kill shall be punished with their lives. Second, those who injure and steal shall be punished and their ears and noses may be cut off. Third, everyone has the right to protect his own life. Property and honor." Salt resentment said loudly: "This is the rule on the island. In the name of my father, you can leave here after you get what you want."

"If no one invades us, we will naturally not kill, steal, hurt or do anything else." Fedmund took a step forward: "We need clues."

"...Follow me!" Salty's attitude towards Fedmund was better: "If you want to know the news about Captain Ross, you should go find that person."

Ryan and others, look at me and I look at you. Everyone really doesn’t know anything about the situation in Sartosa. The only thing they can know is that Captain Ross seemed to have been the largest pirate leader in Sartosa in the past, and he had a The fleet and extremely amazing wealth, but in the end disappeared forever in the depths of the vast ocean.

Now, the most powerful fleet in Sartosa is the pirate fleet of Salt Grudge, and the most powerful pirate leader is Salt Grudge herself. She occupies this pirate principality, but even so, Salt Grudge is only a few dozen ships in Sartosa. It was just the largest pirate force. Seeing this, Ryan held Veronica's hand: "Okay, let's follow her first."

"I suspect she will take us into the city and sell us to ogres, wow, a bunch of delicious tin cans." Veronica joked.

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Strictly speaking, Veronica might not be joking.

On Sartosa, people can see almost all races in the old world. In addition to humans, dwarves, elves, greenskins, and even ogres, lizardmen, and undead can all be seen on this island. Under the command of Salt Grudge, The composition of the pirates is really diverse, and the only ones prohibited by Sartosa are Chaos Cultists and Chaos Sorcerers.

The city of Sartusa was built on a coastal cliff about thirty meters high. Now this is temporarily an area controlled by salt resentment. The residents of Sartusa built a labyrinth of bridges and scaffolding directly on the rocks. In this pile of planks, posts, and logs, several houses hugged the side of the cliff.

Others carve their homes directly into the porous limestone of the cliffs. Most of these residences are squalid hellholes, but there are a few - usually the oldest, palatial and well-appointed.

But no matter who it is, whether they are humans or dwarves, or even undead and greenskins, everyone shows off their weapons and power. The main road in the city of Sartosa is called Sting Street, and to some extent it has become An "administrative district" has been created. On this street, sellers sell all kinds of rare treasures and specialties from all over the world. Most of them are fakes, but there are also many real ones. Dingzhuang Street is lined with crumbling houses, leather factories, Fishmongers, weapons manufacturers, and dozens of taverns and inns. The pork, beef, and chicken sold by food vendors along the street are most likely made from rat or duck meat.

"Ms. Arinasa, where can we get information about Captain Ross?" Ryan tried his best to look pleasant.

"Captain." Yanqian said impatiently: "I am not a woman, I am the captain. You must call me captain."

"Very good, captain?" Ryan said with a smile.

"There is a Mrs. Keesler who knows a lot about Captain Ross. I suggest you go find him." After hearing the captain's name, Yanqian finally showed a satisfied expression, but her tone was still stiff: "This Keesler Mrs. Sler, perhaps many of you here have heard of his name.”

"His name is Lev Davidovich. He was once the chief interior minister of Kislev. Decades ago, he and the then Tsar Boris Bokha established the Kislev Shooting Army. and the artillery army, known as the 'founder of the Kislev New Army' and the 'leader and organizer of the Kislev New Army', but later gradually lost the favor of the previous tsar Boris Bokha due to political differences. Trust, his proposals to limit the Tsar's excessive control of the military and his opposition to Boris spending all the treasury savings to force the 'Great Purge' campaign led to his eventual hostility from Tsar Boris and his eventual deportation and exile."

"After several years in exile, he still fiercely opposed Boris's rule, even escaping an assassination attempt by a Kislev assassin using an ice pick blessed by the ice witch. Lev seized it during the fight. He crossed the ice pick and killed the assassin, and then fled south to Sartusa, where he lived in seclusion for more than twenty years. He once worked with the pirate king Captain Ross."

"If you want to know about Captain Ross, ask him yourselves."
