The Original Vampire

The morning light dyed the sky into a faint red glow, and among the red glow, many white clouds drifted gently.

Thousands of rays of sunshine reflected on the calm Angry River, exuding a faint halo, everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.

However, what is calm is only the surface. Below the horizontal plane, there are countless undercurrents surging.

Suddenly, an undercurrent broke through the calmness of the water surface, and immediately caused a turbulent spray, one by one vortices spread in the spray, and finally disappeared on the level.

Facing the wisps of sunshine, a huge fleet appeared on the Furious River, with their bulging sails, the bow of the ship stirred up with snow-white waves under the impact of the undercurrent.

On the flag that squeaked in the wind, it depicted a pure white horse fluttering about to fly. Obviously, this was the naval fleet of the St. Pros family in the east.

Although the weakness of the Eastern Border Army is notorious in the Radiance Empire, no one has ever dared to underestimate the Eastern Border Navy fleet.

This huge fleet consisting of fifteen heavy warships, one hundred and eighty galley warships, fifty light dhows, and three hundred logistics transport ships is definitely the most terrifying water force of the Radiance Empire.

It is precisely because of this almost invincible fleet and the raging river that is like a moat, the Eastern Region has not been invaded for hundreds of years.

Even if the soldiers are strong and strong, and the North Territory, where the troll empire is pressed to the ground, it is difficult to cross the Angry River under the threat of this fleet.

Driving at the forefront of the fleet at the moment is the flagship "White Dew".

This legendary heavy warship named after the castle of the Saint-Pros family is the pride of the East and a miracle of the age of sailed wooden warships.

This water giant is 80 meters long, 20 meters wide, and has a keel of 66 meters long. It has a full-load displacement of 3,000 tons. The ship has three floors, and protective walls are built on each floor, which can accommodate thousands of archers. At the same time, there are eight huge racket sticks on both sides of the ship's side, and a terrifying bow ram is installed on the bow.

In the age of cold weapons, the "Bailu" is definitely an unsinkable invincible battleship.

At this time, in the captain's room of the "White Dew", almost all the senior officers of the Pegasus Navy fleet had arrived.

The commander of the fleet, Earl Hall's majestic gaze slowly swept across everyone's faces, then coughed lightly and said loudly:

"Everyone, you all know the reason for going north this time.

That's right, it is to go to Silvermoon City to redeem Lord Vincent Marquis!

And the price of redemption..."

Speaking of which, Earl Hall's mouth twitched a few times, and it seemed difficult to hide the humiliation and anger in his heart, but fortunately he calmed down quickly and continued:

"The price of redemption, please ask Earl Avon to explain it himself."

Earl Evan, who was standing behind Earl Hall, smiled slightly, took a step forward, first nodded to the fleet officers, then opened a roll of parchment in his hand, and read according to it:

"Everyone, according to the agreement reached between the Duke of St. Pros and the Count of Angele, this time we will use six heavy warships, fifty galley warships, and one hundred and twenty logistical transport ships in our eastern border to redeem the text. The Marquis of Cente..."

Hearing this, even the well-disciplined naval officers couldn't help but whisper,

Whisper.

Obviously, such a price made it difficult for everyone to accept it for a while.

They all turned their attention to Earl Hall, but the supreme commander of the fleet bowed his head and remained silent.

However, Earl Hall's clenched fists still showed that his heart was not as peaceful as it appeared.

Earl Evan slowly swept across the faces of the officers with a plain but firm gaze, and he continued to read until the scene was quiet again:

"At the request of the Duke of St. Pros, the following ships will be handed over to the North:

The Brave, the Victory, the Raging Wave, the Great Wave, the Wind Chime, and the White Dew, these six heavy warships will..."

"Earl Evan!" Hearing this, Earl Hall finally couldn't help but say.

He took a step forward and stood in front of Earl Avon, his breath almost sprayed into the face of the young Duke's second son.

Earl Evan looked blankly at Earl Hall, who looked like an enraged bull, and asked lightly, "Count Hall, what questions do you have?"

"Count Evan, it's not that I can't bear a few warships. In fact, everyone knows that I want to see Marquis Vincent safely return to the east. My daughter looks forward to her husband, my grandson day and night. Can't do without his father!

But what I want to know is, why are all the ships of the Hall family selected? "

"The battleship of the Hall family?" Earl Evan sneered and asked without giving an inch, "Count Hall, when did the Tianma Navy become the private army of the Hall family?"

"Of course the Tianma Navy is not the private army of the Hall family, but you can't deny the Hall family's contribution to this fleet! Most of our family's territorial income is used for fleet maintenance, and the Hall family is the best. The members of , the strongest subjects, all serve in this fleet!

Earl Evan, to say something outrageous, without the Hall family, this Pegasus Navy would at least weaken half of its combat effectiveness! "

Earl Hall has also given up at this time. What Earl Evan has done has exceeded the bottom line he can bear. If these six heavy warships are really handed over, then the military power of the Hall family will be completely over.

Earl Evan snorted coldly and said firmly: "Count Hall, I admit the Hall family's contribution to the Tianma Navy, but you ask yourself, why did the St. Pros family make you pay in vain?

Have you forgotten that your ancestor was just a lowly commoner rich businessman? Who raised your family's title step by step to earl? And who made you one of the best big families in the East? Even let your daughter marry the heir to the Duke of the East?

The St. Pros family has never treated the Hall family badly. Now it’s time to need you. Oh, Earl Hall, you have begun to forget your oath and the grace of the St. Pros family? "

"The Hall family has never forgotten their oath! It will never betray the Saint Pros family!" Earl Hall said loudly and forcefully, but then he changed the subject and said solemnly, "But we will never Willing to be deliberately targeted!"

Earl Evan spread out the parchment in his hand, allowing Earl Hall to see the handwriting on it and the signature of the Duke of St. Pros, saying:

"See clearly, Earl Hall, this is the order of the Duke of St. Pros, are you ready to disobey?"

Earl Hall stared at the parchment, without speaking, but this silence already meant a silent protest.

Earl Evan was about to speak again, but suddenly saw a senior officer also take a few steps forward and came to stand behind Earl Hall.

This seems to be a signal.

Immediately afterwards, officers of the Hall family came one after another behind Earl Hall.

They also bowed their heads in silence, expressing a silent protest to Earl Avon.

The phrase "the Hall family owns half of the Pegasus navy" is perfectly interpreted in this scene.

However, it was only half of it. The other half of the officers of the St. Pros family also stood behind Earl Evan when they saw this.

The two groups of people were silently confronting each other, and even some grumpy officers had already touched the swords on their waists with their right hands.

The air in the cabin became more and more stagnant and gradually became suffocating.

The situation seemed to be a string that was tensed to the extreme, and it seemed that the next second, it would be completely broken.

Earl Evan looked at Earl Hall and the officers behind him expressionlessly, his expression still calm and calm, as if he was completely unaware that a civil strife was about to break out in the Pegasus Navy, and only listened to him indifferently asked. :

"Count Hall, do you want to betray the Saint Pros family?"

Earl Hall took a deep breath, as if to forcibly suppress his anger and impulse, and said solemnly:

"Earl Evan, I want to talk to you alone."

"Can."
