Chapter 1323 Female Knight
"Bring over the big carriage, we have intercepted more than [-] boxes of silver coins and treasures from the evil Barbary pirates, and transported them to the city!"

Grandmaster Castella announced the results of the dispatch to the knights staying in Valletta, and the knights of the Knights of the Hospital cheered!
"But in this battle, 17 of our brave knights and warriors gave their precious lives to capture the pirate's fort! Let us pray for them, their souls will go to heaven after death, and they will be with God With you!" Castella said heavily.

Castella then read out the names of each of the victims.There are not many core members of the Knights Hospitaller, and almost everyone Castella remembers, his voice is low and sad.

The Knights of the Hospital fell into a state of solemnity, and the family members of the sacrificed knights wept.

The situation in the Mediterranean is very complicated. In order to survive and fight against the Ottoman Empire, the Knights Hospitaller sacrifices many people every year, and everyone is struggling to survive.It's hard to say which side is evil and which side is justice, it's just for the sake of surviving.

"Compared with them, we in the East are much luckier." The officers of the Fourth Fleet whispered in private.

"Their sacrifices are for the better living of the world. We cannot live up to their sacrifices. Our Knights of the Hospitaller will continue to protect our world from the evil Ottoman Empire and Barbary pirates!" Card Stella said to everyone in the Knights Hospitaller after the prayer.

He is a believer in God, but he is also the grand master of the Knights Hospitaller, and he still has to return to reality. He wants to lead the Knights Hospitaller to survive better on this island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.

"Everyone follow me into the city." Castella appeased the people who had lost their families, and then led them into the city of Vallarta.

"Brother, who are they?" The female knight blocked Castella with several young knights.

Everyone looked at the female knight who suddenly appeared. She was 1.7 meters tall, with long blond hair draped behind the helmet. She had a clean face and a tight figure. The octagonal red cross symbol on the breastplate was as red as blood, and she was heroic.

"Hannah, why are you wearing this armor again? It's not the Middle Ages now, this armor can't block muskets, why don't you change into a more convenient dress." Seeing the female knight, Castella frowned slightly.

"Only medieval armor can show the spirit of our hospital knights! Come on brother, who are those black-haired and yellow-skinned people? Are they from the East India?" asked the female knight named Hannah.

"Almost, their country is in the northern continent of the Spice Islands. It is the rich country in Marco Polo's records, China. They plan to come here to deal with the Barbary pirates and the Ottoman Empire behind them." Castella said.

"The country described by Marco Polo...?" The female knight was amazed.

"This is my sister Hannah. She can speak the languages ​​of six countries, Italian, English, Spanish, German, French, Greek, not including Latin. She has always wanted to be a brave knight , but I don't allow her to go out and participate in the battle. The battle with the Barbary pirates and the Ottoman Empire is too dangerous, and the loser will be captured and sold as a slave." Castella said to the Chinese and British The person introduced the identity of the female knight.

"Knowing the languages ​​​​of the six countries at such a young age, the talent in languages ​​is excellent!" Sir Greenville couldn't help but exclaimed.

"No way, our Knights of the Hospital is located in the center of the Mediterranean. There are merchants from various countries. If you want to trade, you have to communicate with merchants from various countries. There are also many believers from various countries who come to the Mediterranean to join our Knights for various reasons or in Malta. Many knights on the island can speak more than two languages. Of course, there were basically no Chinese people here before, so no one can speak Chinese." Castella said.

"How far is it from us? Why did you go to the Mediterranean Sea?" the female knight Hannah asked tirelessly.

"Hannah, don't be so rude in front of distinguished guests!" Castella shouted.

Hannah didn't dare to disobey her brother's words, she pouted dissatisfiedly.

Castella led the Chinese and Britons over the walls of Valletta and entered the fortress that was built decades ago.

The Knights of the Hospital regarded Valletta as a stronghold against the Turkish army that might attack at any time, so there were many fortifications in the city, and the thickness of the walls made of limestone was astonishing.

The entire city was completely regarded as a defensive fortress. As long as the defenders inside had the determination to resist to the last person, I am afraid that a hundred thousand Turkish troops would not be able to conquer it.

The female knight Hannah was still a little depressed. She followed the team and saw Zheng Zhibao. She originally wanted to use Italian, but thought that her brother seemed to be communicating with them in English, so she also asked Zheng Zhibao in English: "Will you come?" What does the Mediterranean do?"

Zheng Zhibao was a little suffocated after hearing this. He is not familiar with English, and usually has an interpreter, but now the interpreter is conveying the words of the Grand Commander Castella, and now a female knight who is almost as tall as him suddenly asks him, what is going on? answer?

Zheng Zhibao looked at Li Jinde, the only one here who was familiar with English, as if asking for help.

Li Jinde was still looking at the fortress-style layout of Valletta, but Zheng Zhibao kicked Hanna, a troublesome guy, to him.

"It's a long, long story. The short story is that I was captured by Barbary pirates, and our men came to rescue me from the city of London, just in time to meet your fleet. The enemy of the enemy is the friend , so we intend to unite to teach the Barbary pirates a greater lesson." Li Jinde briefly summarized.

"Why did they save you? Is your identity important?" Hannah asked puzzled.

Normally, even if important members of the Knights Hospitaller are captured by pirates, there is nowhere to rescue them.

"It's not that I'm particularly important. Anyway, there are very complicated reasons..." Li Jinde didn't want to tell the innocent looking girl about the complicated reasons behind it.

It is true that the Fourth Fleet is here to rescue him this time, but the Fourth Fleet has a more complicated purpose.It is estimated that in Hannah's world view, the world is either black or white, and there are not so many ways. Li Jinde, like Castella, does not want this young female knight to be involved in the dangerous Mediterranean struggle.

She might marry and have children in the strong fortress of Valletta, and live peacefully in the troubled times.

However, Hannah seemed to be full of curiosity about the outside world: "After you were captured by the pirates, what did they do to you? Did they sell you as a slave?"
