Chapter 388: Chapter 34 Arendelle’s Guardian
Arendelle.
Soran sat in the corner of the tavern and waited quietly. About half an hour later, a man appeared. Compared with the last meeting, his expression was more respectful, and even a little scared. He couldn’t look into Soran’s eyes.
“Your Excellency.”
The man bowed slightly, gave Soran a sealed doc.u.ment, and said, “What you’ve asked for.”
Soran nodded and reached for it, then took a quick look at it, and said slowly, “Has the attack begun? It looks like Prince Hans will retreat soon. Help me convey another order.”
“The fleet of the southern island countries has been severely damaged. I need them to gather the enemy in the channel of Dark Tide and severely damage the fleet of the southern island countries.”
The man nodded, looked at Soran for any more orders, and left the place.
No matter what, the orders from above were to be friendly to this pirate king. He was someone the thief union wanted.
On the second day, Dragonbone island was a mess; half of the port had been destroyed, while many wars.h.i.+ps needed to be repaired.
Prince Hans stood near the port and watched all this with a deep sense of frustration on his face. It was only a ghost s.h.i.+p; that made him embarra.s.sed and weak.
There were hurried footsteps.
The figure of the high-grade Sorcerer appeared behind him. Before he was near, he said anxiously, “Your Highness! It’s not good! This message was sent by the kingdom.”
When he heard the words of the high-grade Sorcerer, Prince Hans had a thump in his heart. The spellcaster had a communication spell, so they were closely contacted to the kingdom. He reached for the doc.u.ment anxiously, and after a little look, his face turned green. As though he was. .h.i.t by a truck, he muttered, “Beheader, Soran!?”
“So he did attack us!… Why are they attacking us!?… Why is he helping Arendelle?”
Looking at Prince Hans’s pale face, the high-grade Sorcerer reached out and touched him. He said anxiously, “Your Highness! Now is not the time to think why he had attacked us! The situation in our kingdom is already very bad! Our coastline is completely lost, the enemy is rampant in our waters, and all places along the coast may be attacked! ”
“Your Highness, we must retreat!…”
Without the ability to fight at sea, pirate wars.h.i.+ps could directly bombard cities along the coast. Now the whole southern island country was in a state of panic, especially when many G.o.ds began to be silent, and the priest could not even pray for help.
“Re…Retreat!…”
Prince Hans’s face was white and muttered, “Order the troops to retreat.”
The attack on Arendelle ended in failure. All the plans became a dream. The original purpose of blocking the northern route to the west coast was also a complete failure. Prince Hans could only imagine how many accusations he would suffer when he returns home. The n.o.bles would threaten him, and the kingdom would also accuse him. Those brothers he had tried his best to knock down may have begun to plan to make a comeback. In the end, even the throne he inherited may not be preserved.
“Go back!”
Prince Hans’s expression gradually recovered, his eyes fixed, and he said, “We must go back first! As long as I inherit the throne, I can make a comeback! ”
“The troops are still in my hand, so I still have a chance.”
After saying this, this expression changed a little and was thinking about something.
He looked at the high-grade Sorcerer behind him, and his face was ferocious, “I want to see that Sea witch! I have finished what I agreed to, and she must help me to the throne as agreed! ”
After hearing this, the high-grade Sorcerer lowered his voice and said, “Your Highness. Let’s talk about this when we get back.”
Inside Arendelle’s palace,
“Yes.”
The Ice Witch on her side nodded and said, “We’ve kept an eye on the area and have made sure they’ve retreated.”
“Good!” Princess Anna stood up with joy.
Then, with a trace of worry and sadness on her face, she murmured, “Is it him? Why didn’t he come to see me? Does he hate me?”
“He’s already here. Why can’t he come and see me at least?”
Hearing the sad words of Princess Anna, the others looked at each other. Finally, the Ice Witch said, “Your Highness. It’s said that the pirates on the south coast had attacked the southern island countries. I’m afraid it’s the Lord Soran who helped us secretly! The enemy was attacked in the rear, so thus they had to retreat in a hurry!… ”
Princess Anna nodded in a daze and murmured, “Is that right? So why didn’t he come and see me?”
Footsteps were heard.
Just then, a guard suddenly rushed up and shouted, “no! Ghost… Ghost s.h.i.+p!… There’s a Ghost s.h.i.+p in the harbor! ”
Everyone looked at him with disbelieve.
Princess Anna immediately rushed out and headed to the port.
“Let’s go!”
The female captain rushed over and followed the princess.
There was fog around the port.
Through the fog, you could see a black wars.h.i.+p, a black hull, a black sail, and a black flagpole, all of which made you feel the deep pressure at a glance.
A black shadow moved around the ghost s.h.i.+p.
The s.h.i.+ps around there did not dare not go close. All of the people there only looked from afar with respect and fear.
“Soran!…”
Princess Anna looked at the black wars.h.i.+p in the distance. She did not know why her tears fell down. She put her little hands around her mouth and shouted, “Is that you?!…”
No answer.
The dark ghost s.h.i.+p seemed to be empty. It stopped for a moment near the port of Arendelle, and then gradually disappeared into the fog.
The dark clouds cleared up.
The sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly in the rich and beautiful city, and everything seemed to be back to normal.
The dark aura of war had gone away.
The mysterious disappearance of the elder princess did not lead this rich country to decline because they knew that there was another person, another figure guarding here. They were guarding the princess here!
Perhaps he didn’t show himself, but she knew that when she needed him, he would appear once more.
That was what he had promised!
