The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Above the boundless ocean, a fleet is sailing against the wind and waves, heading towards the sunrise in the east.

This fleet was the one that Soran and his crew escaped from the port of Ganise City, and was now heading towards the [Angliss Islands].

The fleet was not moving very fast because it was fully loaded and also to take care of the special ship located in the center of the fleet.

It was a three-story ship, larger than a large transport ship.

In this era when there was no sailing technology and human paddling was required, one can imagine how slow such a huge ship would be when sailing on the sea.

And this was exactly the ship that Soren, Countess Katis and others were on.

At this time, on the railing on the third floor of the ship near the stern, Soran and Countess Katis were leaning there, staring blankly in the direction of the Knight Continent from afar, as if they were reminiscing or recalling something.

In the distance at the stern, the Knight Continent had actually disappeared long ago, so all they could see now was the boundless ocean.

"Helen, we have now left Ganise County and the Knight Continent!"

This was actually Soran’s first time going out to sea in this world, so he suddenly felt a little melancholy.

After all, if he had a choice, Soran would definitely not be willing to give up the White Bear Territory and leave the prosperous Knight Continent, but choose to go to a remote island overseas to reclaim the land and settle down.

But as the saying goes: The world is unpredictable, life is unpredictable, and the big intestine is bound to the small intestine.

Who could have predicted that the Kingdom of Midburg would eventually be conquered and destroyed by the Kingdom of Essex?

Who could have predicted what would have happened if Sauron had stayed?

Therefore, he could only find a path that was within his control.

Alas! In the final analysis, it was because my own strength and power were too weak.

Soran couldn't help but sigh!

"Yes! This is my first time going to such a far place!" Countess Katis said with some melancholy.

Countess Katis grew up in Ganise County and had only been out of the county a few times.

So don't underestimate her as a hereditary earl with a noble status and she knows a lot of information or knowledge from all over the Kingdom of Midburg.

But if you really want to talk about it, this was her first time to go on a long journey, and it was the kind of journey from which she would never come back.

Suddenly leaving your very familiar hometown and going to a completely unfamiliar place like this will inevitably make people feel a little uncomfortable.

Not to mention, Countess Katis is just an ordinary woman who has lost her husband, so no matter how strong she is, she will still have some little woman's mentality.

So if she didn't have Butler Mark to rely on, she wouldn't even know what to do next!

"Soran, do you think we can return to the Knight Continent?" Countess Katis turned around and asked Soran in a gentle tone.

Hearing this, Soran showed a warm smile on his tough yet handsome face.

Immediately, he placed his left hand on Countess Katis's right hand, which was tightly holding the railing.

After all, Countess Katis had not had intimate physical contact with the opposite sex for a long time, so she was startled by Soran's sudden action and trembled, and instinctively wanted to break free.

But Soran had anticipated this and grabbed her tightly, preventing her from breaking free.

Countess Katis, who had reacted, stopped struggling and let Soran hold her tightly. At the same time, her fair skin turned a little shy and flushed.

“Don’t worry! Helen, we will definitely be able to return to the Knight Continent! And we will return in glory and with pride!” Soran looked at Countess Katis’s beautiful eyes and promised in a firm tone.

"Well! I believe you!" Countess Katis nodded slightly, and a charming smile appeared on her originally melancholy and confused face.

Seeing this, Sauron felt extremely happy!

So he turned his head, looked at the boundless ocean, and said with high spirits: "Besides, Helen, this boundless ocean is so vast, and there are countless resources and opportunities in it! So who can say for sure that we can't develop here and create a vast world that belongs to us?"

Upon hearing this, Countess Katis stopped talking and leaned on Soran with a smile.

At this moment, she found a man she could rely on.

Then the two of them leaned against each other, quietly looking at the starry sky in the distance, slowly waiting for time to pass.

Those who were on the same ship, seeing this handsome man and beautiful woman, did not dare to disturb them and chose to avoid them or pretend to ignore them.

Some people even deliberately reduce their movements to avoid making loud noises that would disturb them and break this beauty and tranquility.

This continued until a very inopportune voice sounded...

"Count Curtis, how long will it take to reach the [Anglican Islands]?" A faint voice suddenly came from behind.

As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was from Prince Mercristin.

But at this moment, he was still staying in the cabin on the third floor of the ship and had not walked out into the corridor outside.

So this is really the case of “hearing the voice before seeing the person”!

Soran and Countess Katis were originally immersed in a sweet relationship, but they were both startled when they suddenly heard the voice.

After all, even though the two of them have feelings for each other, their true relationship has not been made public, so there is inevitably some suspicion of "secret meeting".

Of course, it is also possible that it is just the two of them who think that others don’t know what they are thinking!

But no matter what, they both tacitly developed a strong disgust for this suddenly appearing, unromantic Prince Mercristin who ruined their "leisure and elegance".

Especially Sauron, he really wanted to go up and beat the other party up and teach him a lesson.

Don't think that Sauron can't beat the opponent!

Because from the data observed by the Arcane Spirit Eye, it can be known that the knight professional level of Prince Mercristian is just an entry-level knight.

And with Soran's current strength at the late stage of the Brave Knight profession, if he really wanted to beat him, one hand would be enough.

However, now is not the time for both parties to completely fall out, so Sauron can only suppress the anger in his heart.

Also, beating Prince Mercristian would be a slap in the face of the royal family of the Kingdom of Midburg.

Although the Kingdom of Midburg is now in name only, Master Oliver, as a priest trained by the royal family, will certainly not just watch Prince Mercristian being beaten by outsiders.

Therefore, if Sauron really takes action, Master Oliver will definitely pursue it!

If the other party finds a random excuse to kill Sauron, then Sauron can only blame himself for his bad luck.

After all, it’s because he doesn’t have a strong person to support him!

Weakness is the original sin!
