Chapter 49 The show begins

Gavin responded calmly after hearing this: "Today's Thorn family has been eliminated. As far as I know, their fleet is staying in Reese. As for how many ships are left, I believe you know better than me. Now I manage Shi The chain of islands will naturally bring about a new order and will not affect our cooperation. "

The Myr envoy snorted coldly. His fat face was full of disdain. He was wearing a loose golden brocade robe, but it could not hide his bloated figure. "Huh, New Order? But we don't think so."

Tyrosh's envoy hurriedly smoothed things over. With a smile on his face, he said in a gentle tone: "Everyone, don't be so tense. I believe Sir Gavin can safeguard the trade routes and the interests of all of us. Everyone should still be peaceful. For your sake, sit down and discuss a proper plan together.”

Seeing the Tyroshi envoy coming out to smooth things over, the Lys envoy thought to himself: "It's not that you, Tyroshi, are extremely dependent on trade routes."

Reese's envoy continued: "Sir Gavin, as far as I know, Gray Gallows Island was originally the territory of the Thorne family. Sir Gavin has been blocking it. Don't you plan to return it?"

After hearing this, Gavin had no intention of backing down and said categorically: "The entire Stepped Stone Islands are now under my control. Of course, I will decide the ownership of Gray Gallows Island. If the Thorn family has the ability, they can send a ship here. ”

The face of Reese's envoy became gloomy, and his tone became sharper: "So, Sir Gavin completely ignores Reese's position? Aren't you afraid of causing conflicts?"

After hearing this, Gavin said calmly: "I have no intention of being an enemy of you, but the matter of Gray Gallows Island is absolutely non-negotiable. If Reese wants to get involved in the Stone Steps Islands by supporting the Thorn family, I am also willing to accompany him."

At this time, Tyrosh's envoy spoke again, with a slightly anxious look on his face: "Everyone, it is not good for us all if the trade routes are cut off. Why don't we put aside our differences for the time being and work together to gain benefits from the trade routes. Once trade is blocked, more than just people will suffer losses. Our family."

Myr's envoy said in a sinister tone: "Trade route? Without our support, can this route be stable? Sir Gavin, you must think carefully."

Gavin said solemnly: "I am willing to implement the revenue sharing that the Thorn family has negotiated with you as usual. I will only charge half of the toll for any merchant ships flying the flags of Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh, but through the Thorn family I advise you not to think about getting involved in the Stone Steps Islands."

Tyrosh's envoy quickly echoed: "What City Lord Gavin said is absolutely true. It's just a group of pirates, why bother."

Reese's envoy was unmoved and said coldly: "Of course we have no intention of getting involved in the Stepped Stone Islands, but what the Thorn family plans to do is beyond our control."

After hearing this, Gavin said calmly: "In that case, I look forward to the war with the Thorn family."

As the banquet ended unhappily, Gavin, who returned to his study, immediately ordered Hassan to prepare to assemble a fleet and seize Gray Gallows Island in two days.

Hassan did not act after hearing this, but asked Gavin worriedly: "Sir, it seems that Reese and Myr also want to get involved in the world's islands. Will they send out their navy."

Gavin poured himself a glass of wine first and said calmly: "Not only the two of them, but also Tyrosh, the Third Daughter Kingdom has always wanted to gain control of the Stepstone Islands. This time is undoubtedly an opportunity for them. It's just that they don't know if the Iron Throne is standing behind me, and they are worried that ending the war personally will expand the scale of the war. All they can do at the moment is to support the Thorne family with some ships and money, and capture the Gray Gallows in advance while the three envoys have not yet left. The island rejects their idea.”

Hassan frowned and said, "Sir, will our move completely anger them? What if they desperately go to war with us, then..."

Gavin took a sip of wine: "They are not monolithic. Tyrosh may not fully support Lys and Myr. He is too affected by the trade routes. We must take advantage of this, as long as we act quickly and gain the upper hand." , to seize Gray Gallows Island, even if they are angry, they have to weigh the cost of retaking the island. "

Hassan took a deep breath: "Understood, sir. I'll go get ready."

After saying that, Hassan turned and left the study, while Gavin stared out the window, lost in thought.

Two days later, Gray Gallows Island.

The sea surface at night is like a huge black satin, smooth and quiet. The stars are dotted in the sky and reflected in the sparkling sea water, as if the bright gems have sunk into the endless abyss. The sea breeze blows gently, carrying A touch of saltiness.

Five small boats moved forward quietly on this silent sea, slowly approaching Gray Gallows Island. On board was Gavin and his Blood Dragon Guard.

The boat finally approached the island. Gavin looked up and saw a cliff more than ten meters high in front of him.

A Blood Dragon Guard next to him started climbing nimbly. His movements were light and fast, and he reached the top of the cliff in a short time. Then he threw the rope down, and the other Blood Dragon Guards and Gavin immediately followed the rope up. climb.

After quietly landing on the island, they checked their equipment and quickly moved towards the high cliff where the trebuchet was placed. The journey was silent except for their slight footsteps.

Finally, in the early hours of the morning, they arrived at their destination.

Several sentries were drowsy, and Gavin approached like a ghost. The dagger in his hand flashed a cold light under the moonlight, and he instantly killed one of the sentries. The Blood Dragon Guards quickly followed up and eliminated the remaining guards cleanly.

At this time, the sky gradually brightened and everyone was ready. Gavin signaled to a blood dragon guard, who lit a torch and waved it in circles towards the sea.

At the same time, on the Belleris, the envoys of the Kingdom of Three Daughters gathered on the deck, all with gloomy faces and complaining.

The envoy of Rees frowned and said impatiently: "Sir Gavin asked us to come and see the show in the middle of the night? Are you deliberately tormenting us!"

The envoy of Myr also echoed: "That's right, the sea breeze is so cold, do we have to keep blowing here?"

Although the envoy of Tyroshi was not so impatient, he also looked puzzled.

Hassan said politely with a smile: "My lords, please be patient and wait for a moment. I believe there will be results soon."

The envoys still complained in a low voice.

Suddenly, a shaking fire signal appeared on the Gray Gallows Island in the distance. Hassan's eyes lit up, and he said respectfully: "Dear messengers, the show is about to begin."

The fleet that received the signal immediately approached Gray Gallows Island. As the fleet approached, the alarm bell was sounded. At this time, the defenders on Gray Gallows Island discovered that the alarm bell on the cliff had not sounded, and immediately sent people to check, but they were easily dealt with by Gavin and his men.
