At this time, Ashley was completely brought into his questioning rhythm by Link.

"Then what should I do?"

Ashley stared at Link looking for knowledge, looking forward to the following.

"Kill the Nord Navy and let them take care of themselves, so no one will harass the mercenaries of your empire."

"What?!"

Ashley never expected this to be the method.

The reason why Nord's maritime tax is heavy is that foreign maritime merchants not only need to pay taxes at Nord Port, but also encounter the Nord Navy who is randomly inspected when sailing in Nord Waters.

When these Nord Navy board the ship for inspection, they will pay fines whether you have contraband or not, and even if you pay enough money, they will turn a blind eye even if there are smuggled goods in your cabin.

"Do you think I'm a fool? Go and provoke the Nord Navy? What if it triggers a conflict between the two countries?"

Ashley's face collapsed, thinking that Link had a bad idea.

‘Sure enough, as I expected, she was not worried that she would not be able to defeat the Nord Navy, but she was afraid of causing diplomatic conflict.’

Link thought about it and said carefully:

"If you don't take action in Nord's waters and can wipe out the other party, it doesn't matter even if the other party knows that you are from the empire."

"What you said is easy. How can you get the Nord Navy to leave its nest and appear at the scheduled location? I don't have the ability to install spies in the Nord Navy."

"I have it!"

"You...have? What?"

Ashley looked at Link in surprise. In her eyes, Link was at most a slightly stronger force under the pirate king. She admired and recognized the ability to fight on the sea and on land.

But when it comes to planting spies into Nord Navy, it is a bit magical.

Like other navies of various countries, the Nord Navy was selected from the descendants of the noble lords from all over the country, with a certain loyalty and background.

The other part is that among the innocent civilians who have excellent grades, only those who have excellent grades can serve as officers with the right to know the information in the Nord Navy.

If a pirate could just install spy officers of this status, wouldn’t the Nord Navy have long been a sieve?

Faced with Ashley's suspicious gaze, Link explained calmly:

"I naturally have my information channels, and it is not convenient to tell you in detail. As long as you know, I can tell you the specific time and location of the Nord Navy on the sea."

‘The army led by the Duke must have begun to gather. Once the Nord Navy has made great moves at the same time as the Duke recruited troops, it is likely that it will be targeting Miluo Island.’

"Okay, how should we cooperate then?"

Ashley thought about it and decided to listen to Link's plan. If he could really hit Nord Navy hard, it would not even require a severe blow, which would be of great help to his family's chamber of commerce.

The Nord Navy was divided into the North and South Navy. The North was mainly used to guard against Virgia and Northern Pirates, and would not leave their own waters easily.

The Southern Navy is the group of people who often make things difficult for foreign maritime merchants.

The Nord Navy has about four or five hundred four-masted main warships, the Northern Navy, as the main force, has about three hundred, and the rest are southern warships, and it is also the Nord Academy-sponsored navy funded by the Duke.

As Southern Navy officers who were mostly civilians, it was also expected that they would blackmail merchants from various countries.

If the Ashley fleet cooperated with the powerful combatants under Link's troops, coupled with reliable intelligence.

It is not impossible to eliminate some of the Nord Navy.

"I will notify you of the specific time and location, just be prepared."

"I will act according to the situation at that time. If the other party is too strong, I will not be in vain."

'You finally got brains. Where did you run to the people who said you would take twenty cavalrymen to charge towards the Snake Army?'

Link nodded when he looked at Ashley in front of him:

“That’s natural.”

After saying that, the two discussed some details.

Link said about the spy question Ashley asked about him.

Of course, he could not say that the Duke regarded himself as his mortal enemy and would definitely join forces with the Nord Navy to attack Miluo Island.

.

In this way, nearly 10,000 people stayed near the dock for another two days.

Not only did the expected Nodo elves, but even the soldiers of the Snake Cult did not notice them.

"The soldiers guarding the docks have been rotated. I haven't sent anyone here for so long. It seems that the snake monster that was angry that day had a great impact on the Snake Sect."

Link recalled the huge monster, chewing with the huge serrated mouthpart, and the flesh and blood were falling from it from time to time. The picture was really cunning.

It is hard to imagine that something can organize its movements. I am afraid it will only leave after it is full.

"How long will we have to wait?"

Ashley appeared on the deck, paced impatiently behind Link.

"Our supplies are almost unable to keep up. If we don't set sail as soon as possible, it may not be able to support us to return to the Golden Sea."

"Don't worry, I will definitely return until the evening of this latest."

Link turned around and comforted Ashley and said, "This guy is good at everything, fair skin, beautiful and long legs, a noble family background, good temperament, but he is too impatient and is eager to do things."

"Sir! The lookout saw a large number of people approaching the dock!"

A Vigia guy suddenly appeared near the berth to report.

"Is it the Nodo Elf?"

"It should be, but there are still pursuers behind them, and they should be people from the Snake Sect."

After hearing this, Link immediately turned around and ordered Ashley:

"Get your sailors ready! All the warships left the port, and support them with a bed crossbow on the side!"

After saying that, without waiting for Ashley to respond, he hurriedly led his men to the dock.

Ashley was stunned for a while before saying to the naval consultant beside her:

"Did you hear it? Do as you please!"

The naval consultant, who was also stunned, did not care about expressing his opinion and turned around and began to give orders to the fleet.

The dock had already gathered Link's subordinates. In addition to 500 Miluo Island soldiers, there were also the same number of people who dared to fight selected from the people of Rodok Mountain.

After these mountain people were armed with various equipment, their combat power was not much lower than that of Selink's subordinates. After all, they had been fighting against the Snake Sect for many years, and they did not lack various experiences, but only equipment.

A thousand soldiers lined up toward the pier, and soon they saw smoke and dust rolling in the distance.

The Nordo elves on the escaped circled, the Nordo warriors on the outside were responsible for protection, and the Nordo rangers who could be called human-shaped crossbows were surrounded by the Nordo rangers.

At the very bottom are the young and young women and children of the Nordo elves.

With the powerful and precise archery skills of the Nodo Rangers, the Snake Cavalry who followed him did not dare to get too close.

Seeing the dock that had appeared in front of him, the commander of the Snake Sect was anxious and remembered the death order given by the priest before leaving.
