But their sacrifice was worth it. The remaining two invading pirate groups have all fallen under the knife of Li Hongshen and the royal guard.
But their chaos and influence in the morning did not end so easily. Except for the coastline where Li Hongshen was stationed, the other two pirate landing positions suffered heavy losses.
Especially the last one, because Li Hongshen was the last to rescue, allowing the pirates to cross the coastline and invade the outer city.
Looking at the blood-splattered streets and dilapidated buildings, Li Hongshen led people past here indifferently.
And the people around, when they saw him and the guards behind him, would stand up respectfully and then bow slightly, they knew who saved them.
After Li Hongshen nodded slightly, he didn't say anything. After leaving some members of the guard behind to help clean up the ruins, he returned to the royal castle.
"Hey, isn't this our great hero, the third prince who saved the kingdom? You still know how to come back?"
Li Hong took a deep look at the somewhat embarrassed but intact eldest prince, and the second prince who looked at him with jealous eyes, and shook his head speechlessly.
Sitting directly beside the long table in the hall, looking at the king sitting in the main seat,
"Any news from the Isle of Malay? How's the situation?"
The king of Puluo looked at Li Hongshen's blood-stained clothes and the long sword still dripping blood, and looked at his child with complicated eyes, feeling very familiar but unfamiliar.
But after hearing Li Hongshen's question, he shook his head helplessly,
"There are some troubles, they have no time to take care of themselves now, many royal families are preparing to escape, including the Kingdom of Malay.
Those giant warriors have been severely injured, and the Golden Lions will soon be able to target us with their hands free. "
"So you called me back today, do you want to leave the kingdom?"
As soon as Li Hongshen finished speaking, before the King of Puluo said anything, the eldest prince stood up with a snap and knocked the high-backed chair behind him to the ground.
"Shebir R. David Lee, what do you mean, don't think that you can be so arrogant because you have the strength, the pirates who invaded today are just some newcomers.
The Golden Lion and the cadres of their fleet haven't made a formal move yet. Do you think you can handle them? "
Li Hongshen glanced at the blushing prince, and pointed at the eldest prince who Li Hongshen was yelling at. He didn't speak, but with a flash of his eyes, the eldest prince performed a move of leveling the sand and falling geese in some panic, and made it to the ground.
"I know that I am definitely not the opponent of the Golden Lions now, and I have no strength to stop them, but at least I know that we should not run away.
Especially now that the situation is uncertain, don't forget that the Navy's G1 base is only two or three days away from our Malay Islands.
If we run away at this time, what will the people below think?
And, do you really think you can run?
Don't forget what this place is, the second half of the great route, how far do you think you can run with our sailing technology, how can you survive in other places?
Rely on you to get angry here?Or you can blacksmith, or you can do carpentry, if you are looking for a port laborer, you will think that you have too many things. "
Hearing Li Hongshen's reply, the eldest prince's lips turned purple in anger, and he pointed at Li Hongshen with trembling fingers.
And the king sighed at this time,
"Our royal family has always been friendly with the royal family of Dressrosa, a member of the world government, and has deep maritime trade.
I also have a long-term hypocrisy with King Riku, if we pass, we should be treated kindly. "
Li Hongshen was obviously taken aback when he heard the king's words. It was obvious that this exceeded his expectations. How could it be possible for a person who can become the king of a country not to leave behind.
But Li Hongshen still shook his head, and said to the King of Puluo,
"We used to be attached, and we were attached without any ability or interest, which is very dangerous.
Even if we can survive, everything in front of you, rights, money, status, will all disappear, are you willing?
To be honest, I'm not optimistic about your back road, but I think it can be carried out at the same time. Send the first prince and the second prince there, and attach a certain amount of money.
And I stay here with you, Father, you originally wanted to stay here alone, didn't you? "
Hearing Li Hongshen's words, the King of Puluo smiled slightly, and then opened his mouth a little happily,
"Puff ha ha ha ha ha, puff ha ha ha ha ha, good, good, just do as you say.
Noam, take the eldest prince and the second prince to get on that boat and go to Drakerosa. If something really happens to us, you can take my letter to King Liku.
If we have nothing to do, you can bring the two of them back and be careful not to expose yourself. "
Chapter 355 Prepare for the Challenge
After the old king arranged everything, the housekeeper Noam took the eldest prince and the second prince and left directly from the secret passage of the royal castle, went to a port in the mountain and left the Malay Islands by ship.
After seeing off the eldest prince and the second prince, the old king returned to the city hall, sitting on the throne, not knowing what to think.
After a while, Li Hongshen walked into the hall after washing, and saw the silent old king.
Said to be an old king, in fact, this king is not old at all, he is only in his early forties, and he can be said to be the most diligent king among the several kings of the Malay Islands in the past.
Thinking of this, Li Hongshen looked at the old king's gray hair all night, and said to him,
"Go and rest first, the communication among those pirate groups is not too developed, even if they find something and confirm it, it will have to wait until tomorrow.
Now the Golden Lion fleet should be in the process of looting, and there is no time to count those people who disappeared or died. "
The king looked up at Li Hongshen, and shook his head a little.
"Third son, you are different since you were a child, except for the moment when you were just born, you never cried or made trouble during the rest of the time.
It's also different from your eldest brother and second brother, those two guys have been too close to other royal family members and have been taught badly.
But you yourself have always been very assertive, whether it is exercising your body or practicing swordsmanship, those rumors have not affected your mentality.
I always thought that your warning to me was just a child’s joke suggestion, but in recent years, what happened has verified your coping method.
This is even more the case now, my father regrets not listening to your advice earlier. "
After Li Hongshen heard the words, he shook his head slightly. He was not surprised. There were five giant warriors in the Malay Islands before. Relying on such a strong combat power, it can be said that they have maintained stability for a long time.
At the same time, he knows even more that now is just the beginning of the prelude, and there will be a bigger wave coming later. The pace of the times is irresistible, because it is driven by the will of the world.
"The navy should be able to come tomorrow or the morning after tomorrow and we'll be safe by then."
After hearing this, the King of Prussia waved his hand slightly,
"The royal guard and the command of the army have been handed over to you. These were all formed under your suggestion. Your original guards were also mixed among the various squads, and you can command them better.
Go ahead and do what you want, and if it doesn't work, take those guards to that beautiful beach I used to take you to when you were a kid. "
After speaking, the king threw a pocket watch to Li Hongshen. Li Hongshen opened it and saw that it was a small compass with a map in the center.
