Chapter 156 Arrival at Red Crab Island
Foster frowned. He realized that this might be a little inappropriate, but he also knew that his master was not a stupid person.
He hesitated for a moment and wanted to persuade Krober, but finally chose to remain silent.
"Yes! My Lord!"
Even if Master Krober made a mistake in judgment, so what? At most, Foster could fight a bloody way for the master with the knight's sword in his hand.
This is his duty!
"Deal with the things at hand as soon as possible, prepare the accompanying soldiers and ships, and set off this afternoon!"
The leader moved his mouth, and the people below ran their legs off.
This truth is also an eternal truth in the other world.
Krober's light words fell, but the whole Black Feather Island was boiling.
Those soldiers who were originally resting returned to the barracks under the captain's call. Only a part of the soldiers who were necessary to maintain law and order were left on the entire island, and the rest were arranged for this combat mission.
The soldiers on Black Feather Island also had a certain degree of military literacy under Hermann's training.
Even though the military orders given to them did not specify where they were heading, or even who their enemies were.
But they resolutely obeyed the orders of their superiors, put on their equipment, prepared basic supplies, boarded the warships, and headed towards an unknown destination.
After setting out from Black Feather Island, they headed northward towards their destination.
Finally, they arrived at the Hurricane Strait.
It is said that the Hurricane Strait was not formed naturally, but was related to dragons.
Specifically, a wicked wind dragon appeared in the southern part of the Emerald Kingdom. At that time, the King of the Emerald Kingdom, Alvis. Emerald Light, specially commissioned a team of dragon knights to successfully defeat the wind dragon together with Grand Duke Veronica.
After the death of the wind dragon, the violent wind attribute magic power entrenched here, and the original strait terrain was also eroded, forming a special Hurricane Strait.
After a long time, the wind attribute magic entrenched here has dissipated a lot, but it is an insurmountable obstacle for those small ships.
Therefore, this place has become a special waterway that only large merchant ships and warships can pass.
This strait is not only an important maritime trade route between the Emerald Kingdom and the Golden Duchy, but also a holy place for wind magicians in the Emerald Kingdom.
It is said that there are a large number of magicians from all over the continent who come here every year to comprehend the magic of wind attributes, and it is said that there are as many as several thousand people.
The three large warships led by Krober sailing on such a busy waterway are not noticeable.
Looking around, most of the ships passing through the Hurricane Strait are large merchant ships. Although their size is not as large as Krober's warships, their large number makes them very spectacular.
Most of these fleets belong to the nobles of the Emerald Kingdom, and among these large fleets, there are also some medium-sized merchant ships.
These medium-sized merchant ships should be owned by small merchants who seek shelter from large caravans.
They need to pay a certain fee to the large caravans for protection.
This protection contract usually takes effect from Red Crab Island and lasts until Black Feather Island.
Once they arrive at Black Feather Island, these merchants will be protected by the laws of the Golden Duchy.
Due to the long length of the Hurricane Strait, it took Kroeber and his men a whole day to reach the exit of the strait.
At this time, the Red Crab Island was within reach. Kroeber stood at the bow, looking at the island in front of him, with a smile on his face:
"Okay... We have arrived at the Red Crab Island, let's go and have a good talk with the people of the Crab Claw Family."
Kroeber's warship was engraved with the symbol of the Bauhinia Rose, which was his noble emblem.
He knew that the people of the Red Crab Island would definitely notice his arrival, but he was not afraid of being discovered.
Because he knew clearly that the Red Crab Island itself had been in the south of the Emerald Kingdom for so many years and had strong strength and background, so they would definitely have strict surveillance and reconnaissance means in the Hurricane Strait.
Therefore, Kroeber did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts, but instead deliberately let the enemy notice his arrival.
His goal was very clear-to reduce the alertness of the Red Crab Island.
After all, the Red Crab Island dared to kidnap his third sister, and must have been prepared to welcome Kroeber in person.
Kroeber decided to go there in person to see what exactly Red Crab Island relied on to have the confidence to threaten him.
When his fleet approached Red Crab Island about 20 nautical miles away, the patrol boat of the Crab Claw family finally found his trace.
These experienced soldiers immediately noticed these distinctive large ships. They were not ordinary merchant ships, but warships with strong combat capabilities.
And warships meant that they came from a noble force with military power.
By observing the emblem on Kroeber's ship, the soldiers realized that this distinguished guest was the important person that their lord had specially ordered before, so they all stepped forward and tried to guide his fleet into the port.
And Kroeber did not stop their thoughts. He did not expect that there were such enthusiastic soldiers on Red Crab Island who took the initiative to help him open the way.
I just don't know what their expressions will be when they learn the truth later that they personally led the enemy to open their own gates and land safely.
"I guess when the ship docks on the shore, I will be able to see the ruler of the Crab Claw family."
And the fact is indeed so. After the ship slowly docked, Klober got off the ship and saw a tall, bearded man. He was wearing gorgeous clothes and carrying a huge knight's sword on his back. He looked very majestic.
Klober smiled and walked towards him:
"Respected and unfamiliar ruler of the Crab Claw Family, I am Klober from the Bauhinia Rose Family. I am very happy to meet you."
But Lucas was briefly absent-minded after seeing Klober.
Although he had learned something from the intelligence, this was the first time the two sides met. Although Lucas had already known about Klober's talent, he was still amazed by Klober's talent when he really met him.
This person is really gifted. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he was promoted to the Earth Knight and became a viscount of equal status.
But after all, he was a viscount who had ruled Red Crab Island for many years. He just calmed down his mood and recovered from his absent-minded state.
He nodded, with a gentle smile on his face, and said to Krober:
"Welcome to Red Crab Island, respected Mr. Krober. I am Lucas Crab Claw. I wonder what brings you here?"
