King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 238

“You! You! What are you laughing at?!”

“As if you were confident, you’d be caught off guard by one of his attacks!”

“At least!”

“At least I… if I had given that golden-haired knight an axe before I left and dealt with him, that kid would definitely have been heartbroken!”

“Damn it! It was clearly a feint, it must have been a feint!”

Silver Axe gritted his teeth, complaining unhappily, kicking aside a rock at his feet, filled with endless regret.

“Heh heh…”

“Stop being a Monday morning quarterback! Let’s think about our current situation!”

Wang Zhi didn’t bother to respond, turning directly to look at the vast ocean.

Crashing waves splashed, and the spray moistened the air.

“How are we? What else can we do?”

“With the strength that guy displayed, can we still rush up and fight him to the death?”

“That guy John, he died by his hand!”

Silver Axe played with the sand, unwillingly.

His words were crude but true. The three of them together didn’t gain any advantage, let alone just the two of them.

Wouldn’t that be like lighting a lamp in a toilet—looking for shit??

There’s no need to seek out trouble like that!

“Yes!”

“Sigh…”

Wang Zhi sighed deeply, shaking his head dispiritedly, suddenly feeling a sense of powerlessness welling up within him.

Perhaps—

We are truly old.

With the rise of new kings, should our era also come to an end?

Wang Zhi pursed his lips expressionlessly, his mood very complicated.

“Let’s go back to Hachinos!”

Silver Axe seemingly inadvertently looked up and suggested.

“Hachinos?”

A strange taste lingered at the corner of Wang Zhi’s mouth.

“Pirate Island?”

“The place where the Captain and we swore brotherhood back then?”

“Are you planning to go back and retire?”

“Retire?”

Silver Axe shook his head naively, saying in a muffled voice:

“At least… with our subordinates all dealt with by that guy Arthur, it’ll be difficult for us to leave the island for a short period!”

“Instead of going to other places, Hachinos, which has become a pirate gathering place, is a melting pot of good and bad, and should be very suitable for us to hide. Its complex social structure should also be good for recruiting cadres.”

“Recuperate?”

Wang Zhi looked at Silver Axe with surprise.

“I didn’t expect…”

“You actually have such foresight, that’s rare!”

Facing the slightly teasing words, Silver Axe uncharacteristically didn’t retort. With a gloomy face, he looked out at the vast ocean with Wang Zhi, and through the calm sea, seemed to see something deeper.

A fleeting sadness flickered in his downcast eyes.

Hachinos!

New World!

Britain Sea, Britain Archipelago.

The most vast island in the center.

Heavenly Stair Palace.

Inside the palace, which mimicked the dwelling of kings in myths, Arthur sat on the resplendent steps.

Propping his head.

His emerald eyes moved slightly, flickering as he stared into the void, as if deep in thought.

“Your Majesty!”

Bedivere, dressed in light knight armor, stepped forward.

Turning sideways, he slowly spoke to Arthur: “The data from the previous battle has been compiled.”

“Eternal Knight members suffered minor casualties…”

“Three hundred twenty-seven injured, no serious injuries under the treatment of Lady Morgan, they can recover quickly with proper recuperation…”

“In this battle, one or two out of ten knights made breakthroughs during the fight, and the strength of other knights also improved significantly, with the overall strength increasing by one or two levels…”

“Very good!”

Arthur nodded in satisfaction.

Compared to diligent training, the war of iron and blood was indeed the greatest way to rapidly increase strength.

Only continuous burning flames of war could forge strong soldiers invincible in a hundred battles!

As if thinking of something, Arthur suddenly turned sideways and asked, “How has the Britain Sea been during our absence?”

“The sea…”

Bedivere merely pondered for a moment before speaking without hesitation:

“With the policies you deployed before, Your Majesty.”

“Everything in the sea is developing in an orderly manner, and short-term withdrawals are harmless.”

“It’s just…” (For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

His voice paused, and Bedivere’s face showed some difficulty.

“Just what?”

Arthur frowned slightly, his unspoken authority and kingly aura quietly spreading.

“Territory!”

“Outside the territory of Britain, the pirate fleets that call themselves wandering pirates have become more frequent in their movements, and they have repeatedly attacked our merchant ships. Although they don’t cause any major trouble and are quickly annihilated by the patrolling knight order, they still have a considerable impact on the passing merchant fleets.”

“However, after also sending out the members of the reserve knight order to clear them out, the situation has greatly alleviated, and it’s not even considered a minor problem anymore.”

It was precisely because they were weak.

They didn’t even have a few decent combatants. The strongest combatants that had appeared so far were only at the Vice Admiral or even Rear Admiral level, so he never paid them any mind.

They were just purely annoying.

Now, they had even been designated by Bedivere as a training ground for reserve knights, serving as a trial to let them experience bloodshed and killing, which could be considered making the best use of them.

If they were to pose a major threat, with Bedivere’s caution, he would have reported it to Arthur long ago.

“~Those guys…”

“Hmph!”

Arthur snorted unhappily: “It must be the doing of those jackals and hyenas from the Iron Empire again!”

Pirates are all creatures who won’t get up early without profit.

After wandering a few times and gaining no advantage, how could they still be obsessively roaming and harassing the border?

They are consumed by greed.

They’re not idiots!

However…

“They actually didn’t take advantage of the emptiness?”

Arthur’s eyes showed some surprise, his gaze deepened, and his thoughts were uncertain.

Was it because he moved too fast and the intelligence system didn’t detect it…

Or were those jackals secretly plotting something bigger and more sinister?

“Your Majesty!”

Just as Arthur lowered his head in thought, trying to find some clues from his past memories.

A radiant figure walked quickly to him.

Kneeling on one knee, he performed a knight’s salute:

“The treasures seized in this battle have all been tallied.”

“Pearls, gems… countless, there are also more than ten famous swords, and even one great sword, but it seems to have been damaged during the battle with you, and needs to be reforged and repaired…”

“And countless other treasures, gold, which should amount to billions of Beri. Here is a rough list of statistics, please review it yourself, Your Majesty.”

Gawain turned sideways and handed Arthur a scroll of treasure records. Even though it was only a rough record, it was filled with tiny script on dozens of pages, stacked into a thick pile.

Even Gawain, who didn’t value treasures, couldn’t help but show an excited expression in his eyes.

One might say, “Phew!”

As expected of John, the great pirate famous for chasing treasures!

After confiscating all his wealth, and also taking a considerable amount of savings from Wang Zhi and Silver Axe, this trip was incredibly lucrative. Arthur’s coffers, which had been somewhat depleted due to extensive infrastructure construction, were instantly replenished.

It was truly an unexpected surprise!
