Chapter 41 Battle Report
"When we parted in Stockholm, you asked me to take care of Rashew's sister, Irene, but..." Frisa, with a fat face, looked at the beautiful woman beside her. The scar on her face seemed to have a hint of gentleness, slowly telling the story of the two's experiences after they parted.
The Vistalos won the hegemony of the North Sea for Sweden, which made Swedish Emperor Gustav II happy and distributed large pensions to the families of sailors who died in battle on the warship. As a meritorious man of the Vistalos, Rassey also gained a lot of wealth.
However, this is not a good thing for a weak woman who was originally poor. Although Hedram and Gerhart and others took great care of the families of the dead sailors, these two men were naval admirals after all, and stayed in Stockholm all year round for many days.
When Xu Mo left the space substitute as Baron Anderson, he was approved by Gustav II to return to his hometown Upsala and rebuild the Anderson family, the rogues who were watching Erin finally lost their last concerns and began to harass Erin, fantasizing that they could get both people and money.
At that time, as a reserve officer, Frieza was still studying at the Royal Naval Academy in Stockholm. In desperation, Irene had to ask for help from the fierce-looking officer of the Vistalos.
Frieza had a very good impression of Rashes, and with Xu Mo's instructions, he immediately extended a helping hand to Irene. From then on, as long as there were hooligans and gangsters harassed Irene, they would face Frieza's iron fist.
However, this situation did not last long. As a long-standing naval officer, Frieza made too much attack in the fight and accidentally killed a devastating nobleman, but was thrown into prison by Gustav II.
Originally this was just a small matter. As a wise monarch, Gustav II would not treat the meritorious ministers for a gangster, but he just wanted to teach Frieza a lesson and did not intend to keep him for long.
But things were unpredictable. At that time, Azhisha and his group who pretended to be a sea merchant happened to be in Stockholm. Frieza was a pirate and was close friends with Azhisha's father. Azhisha was also dissatisfied with him because the Arab pirates on the ship were convinced by him, hoping to recruit a loyal seaman from the outside world to serve as the first mate.
So, after hearing about Frieza, Azhisha found Erin and asked her to take the opportunity of military family visiting them to prison and rescue Frieza out of trouble. By chance, Frieza changed from a navy to a pirate again and became the first mate of Azhisha's pirate ship.
"Hisser Alfred!" Elin, dressed as a sailor, squatted slightly, gave Xu Mo a half-squat, and said shyly with a blushing face, "Please do your best to save Sister Azhisha. She is very nice to us, if she doesn't..."
"You are very kind, like... Rashui!" Looking at the woman's pretty face, Xu Mo sighed with emotion, gave Li Ze a few instructions on the team channel, and then turned to look at the sea.
The rising sun dyed the sea golden. In the rippling waves, Xu Mo seemed to see a shy young man, waved at him with a smile, and turned away.
"Rashu..." Xu Mo whispered softly, "I have paid back Frieza's favor! But, how do you want me to pay back the favor I owe you..."
...
Amsterdam, headquarters of the Agot Chamber of Commerce.
"Lilu, Lilu, the Mediterranean war report!" The black-haired young man Fenande pushed Lilu's office away and excitedly patted a piece of parchment on the table.
"Alfred, this lunatic! I really shouldn't have let Camille and Emilio stay on his boat!" After reading the parchment battle report, Lilu collapsed on the chair with her body weak, her cute little face wrinkled into a ball, and she rubbed her temples in distress.
"Tsk tsk, blood-red bullfighter and ghost gunner!" Compared to the depressed girl president, Fernande showed an expression of expectation and yearning on his face. His two companions have gained recognition and reputation that some seafarers need to get in their lives in just two months.
"Damn Alfred, he actually forced the sailors of the Agoth Chamber of Commerce to work hard for him!" Lilu was silent for a while, and suddenly slapped the desk angrily, and her tender palms suddenly turned red.
"...I'm afraid that the Swedish admiral did not force Camille and Emilio. They should have volunteered to participate in the battle!" Looking at the indignant Dutch girl, Fernande took a deep breath and shook his head.
"Hmph, I won't talk about that stupid Emilio, the most susceptible to being deceived. But Camille grew up with me, and that kid has never liked to fight with others since he was a child. How could he take the initiative to join the battle?" Lilu wrinkled her frowning nose and said dissatisfiedly with her mouth.
"Lilu, although you grew up with Camille, you may not be able to understand everything about the men at sea!" Fernande glanced at the Dutch girl and said meaningfully, "Maybe it is not a bad thing to let Camille stay on that Swedish warship for a while! What a pity..."
"Is that...is it like this?" Lilu was slightly stunned and sat back on the chair. As soon as she came to her senses, she shouted in anger, "What a pity? Is Camill not doing well in the Agot Chamber of Commerce?"
"Haha, all the information has been sent recently. Do you need to send it to Lisbon?" Fernande spread his hands without comment and shrugged his shoulders.
After Raphael and Vasa formed an alliance, the Agoth Chamber of Commerce no longer needed to contact the Swedish officials, but instead sent the information collected from Amsterdam to Lisbon, and then passed it to the North African port by the Caster Road Chamber of Commerce and handed it over to Xu Mo of Vasa.
"Well... wait! Let me sort out this information first, and stop placing it on that Swedish madman in such a mess!" Lilu sighed dryly with a bitter face, "They are now wanted by the whole world. I hope Camill and that stupid bull can come back safely!"
"Okay, then I'll send this battle report to the Swedish office in Amsterdam first!" Looking at the Dutch girl who continued to work, Fernande took a lighter pace and closed the office door.
Through the windows of the building walkway, Fernande quietly looked down at the brightly lit night view of Amsterdam. A ray of flame slowly rose in his black eyes. Before he knew it, his fingernails were deeply embedded in the flesh.
The black-haired young man's words "What a pity" just now were not targeting Camille and Emilio, but targeting himself. He was regretting why the person who was taken as a hostage at that time was not him.
As the president of the Agote Chamber of Commerce, Lilu treats them very well and has a deep relationship with each other.
However, no matter what, the men at sea in this era are always extremely eager to make achievements on the sea of fire. On the battlefield full of gunpowder, conquer those broad and mysterious oceans. All the world can feel the passion in their hearts and hear the majestic shouts.
"Camil, Emilio, I really envy you..." Fernande's inaudible whispers came from the aisle.
...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the latest battle report from Amsterdam!" The young man in a gorgeous robe waved the parchment in his hand excitedly and pushed open the palace gate. With a stir, he stepped on the hem of his robe and staggered.
"Haha, Alexander, my Prime Minister, my Earl, my friend, be careful! If you fall and hurt, who else can help me deal with this lot of state affairs?" The strong Swedish emperor laughed, stepped forward a few steps to support the young Prime Minister, and took the battle report from him.
"This is the seventh time this month!" After carefully reading the battle report, Gustav II shook his head in sighing.
"Well, it is also the twelfth time in two months. More than twenty merchant ships and warships of the Holy Roman Empire, more than seven chambers of commerce, and three coastal fleets were sent to the seabed! The trade flow in the sea ports near Italy and Venice dropped by 50%, and the cargo on the docks accumulated like mountains, which had seriously affected the maritime lifeline of the Habsburg dynasty." Earl Oxenzena's face flashed with a hint of wine and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Baron Anderson has not disappointed you, the name of the tyrant at sea has resounded throughout the Mediterranean!"
"Alfred..." Gustav II's eyes flashed with a gleam and said calmly, "Where are they now?"
"No one knows!" The young prime minister shook his head slightly, "The Vasa is like a ghost ship, never conducting platoon battles, shelling and destroying ships, sending small boats to plunder precious metals, and then sinking them with cargo, leaving only a small boat for the survivors, and then disappearing from the sea again. Judging from the battle reports many times, the entire naval battle has never exceeded half an hour!"
"Have the Golden Elephant, which is responsible for replenishing personnel, set off?" Gustav II was slightly stunned and murmured.
"Your Majesty, they had already set out a month ago!" the young prime minister smiled and reminded, "Are you worried about the safety of the battleship Vasa?"
"No, I'm worried about Alfred!" The Swedish Emperor sighed softly, "Sweden can lose a battleship, but it cannot afford the losses of an excellent naval admiral!"
"Your Majesty, if you are worried about Baron Anderson's safety... can you call him back through the Caster Road Chamber of Commerce in Lisbon!" Earl Oxenzena hesitated and suggested.
"No, I can't do this!" The young emperor suddenly looked distressed. "Although Alfred doesn't have much contact with me, you are familiar with the other two admirals of the Vistalos. Do you feel that Hedram and Gerhart will accept interrupting their mission for their own safety?"
"...They will regard this order as an insult!" Earl of Oxenzena shook his head with a wry smile, "However, the Catholic countries in the Mediterranean are now wanting the Vasa, at least more than five naval fleets are searching for them..."
"The tyrant at sea won't fall so easily. Alfred and Vasa will return safely!" The Swedish emperor's face showed a hint of excitement for the first time, "I will personally award him a medal!"
