Chapter 34 The Guardian of Arendelle

Arendelle.

Sauron sat in the corner of the Copper Stove Tavern and waited quietly. About half an hour later, the cold man he had met before appeared here. Compared with the last time we met, this time his expression was more respectful, and there was even a trace of panic and fear, as if he didn't dare to look Sauron directly in the eyes.

"Your Mightiness."

He bent slightly and handed a sealed document to Sauron, and said in a deep voice, "This is what you want."

Sauron nodded and reached out to take it, then opened it and glanced quickly, and said slowly: "Has the attack started yet? It looks like Prince Hans will retreat soon."

"You can convey another order to me."

"The fleet of the southern island country has been severely damaged. I need them to gather enemies in the Dark Tide Strait and severely damage the fleet of the southern island country."

The cold man immediately nodded in agreement, then glanced at Sauron, and left quickly after seeing that he had no other orders.

anyway.

The order explained above is to try to befriend the Pirate King as much as possible, and his energy is also favored by the Thieves Guild.

………………

the next day.

Keel Island is in a mess, half of the port is destroyed, and many warships need to be repaired.

Prince Hans stood near the port and watched all this, with a deep sense of frustration on his face. Just a ghost ship made him so embarrassed, which made him feel weak and powerless.

Hasty footsteps sounded.

The figure of a high-level warlock appeared behind him, and before he got close, he said anxiously: "Your Highness, something is wrong!"

"This is the news sent by the kingdom using the communication technique."

Hearing the words of the high-ranking warlock, Prince Hans's heart skipped a beat. The caster has the five-ring communication technique, so he has always maintained close ties with the southern kingdom. He stretched out his hand to take the document anxiously, and after a short glance, his face was pale. Seeming to have been hit hard, he murmured, "The Beheader - Sauron!?"

"So it was he who attacked us!...Why would he attack us!?...Why would he help Arendelle?"

The high-ranking warlock looked at Prince Hans' pale face, reached out to touch him, and said anxiously: "Your Highness! The important thing now is not why the beheaded Sauron attacked us! The situation in the kingdom is already very bad! Our coastline is completely lost, the enemy is rampant in our sea area, and all places along the coast may be attacked!"

"His Majesty the King tells us to retreat immediately!..."

There is no ability to go to sea to fight. The pirate warships can directly bombard the cities along the coast, and now the entire southern island country is in a state of panic, especially when many gods have become silent. After the priests can't get a response, they can't even pray for help from the temple. The pirates from the south coast seemed to be the same as when the Vikings invaded Europe, looting any place that could be attacked like locusts crossing the border.

"Retreat...retreat!..."

Prince Hans' face was pale, and he murmured, "Order the entire army to retreat."

The attack on Arendelle ended in failure. All the planning has become a dream, and the original purpose of blocking the northern route and opening up to the west coast has completely failed. Prince Hans can imagine how many accusations he will suffer after returning home. The nobles will blame him, the kingdom will blame him, and those brothers he tried his best to knock down. I am afraid that he has already begun to plan a comeback, and in the end, he may not even be able to keep the throne he inherited.

"go back!"

Prince Hans' expression gradually recovered, and he said solemnly: "You must go back first! As long as I inherit the throne, I can make a comeback!"

"The army is still in my hands. Everything still has a chance."

Speaking of this, his expression was slightly distorted. Seems to be planning something.

He stared at the high-ranking warlock behind him, and said with a grim expression, "I want to see that sea witch! I have fulfilled the agreement, and she must also help me ascend the throne according to the agreement!"

Hearing what Prince Hans said, the high-ranking warlock's face changed slightly. Then lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness."

"Let's go back and talk about it."

………………

Arendelle, Royal Palace.

Princess Anna stared at the bearded general in surprise, and said in disbelief, "What? You mean the enemy has retreated?"

"Yes."

The Ice Witch standing next to her nodded and said, "We have been monitoring the nearby sea area and can confirm that they are retreating."

"Great!" Princess Anna stood up happily.

Then, a trace of worry and sadness appeared on her face, and she murmured: "Is it him? Why didn't he come to see me?"

"Does he hate me that much?"

"Come here, but don't even want to see me?"

Hearing Princess Anna's sad words, the other people around looked at each other, and finally the Ice Witch said: "Your Highness, there is news that the pirates on the south coast have attacked the southern island country. I am afraid it is really the one who secretly helped us." That Lord Sauron! The enemy also retreated in a hurry because the rear was attacked!..."

Princess Anna nodded in a daze upon hearing the words, and murmured, "Really?"

"Then why doesn't he come to see me?"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps.

At this moment, a guard suddenly rushed up and shouted: "It's not good! You...a ghost ship!...A ghost ship appeared in the port!..."

Everyone raised their heads in surprise upon hearing this.

Princess Anna even rushed out and ran towards the port.

"Walk!"

The captain of the maid took a look at the others and quickly followed, and soon they caught up with Her Royal Highness who was trotting ahead.

A mist hangs over the port of Arendelle.

Through the fog, you can see a black warship docked in the distance. The black hull, black sails, and black flagpole make people feel deep pressure just by looking at it.

A huge black shadow wandered around the ghost ship.

No nearby ships dared to approach, and everyone looked there in awe and fear.

"Sauron!!!..."

Princess Anna stared at the black warship in the distance, tears fell for some reason, she put her little hand to her mouth and shouted forward: "Is it you?!!!..."

No response.

There seemed to be nothing on the dark ghost ship. It stayed near the port of Arendelle for a moment, and then gradually disappeared into the mist.

The clouds cleared.

The bright sunshine is shining on this rich and beautiful city in the ice and snow country, and everything seems to be back to normal.

The cloud of war is receding.

The mysterious disappearance of the eldest princess did not bring this rich country to decline, because they knew that there was another person, another figure guarding the place.

Guard the mistress here!

Maybe he didn't show up, but she believed he would show up again when she needed him.

Because this is his promise!
