Chapter 1324 Female Knight
Li Jinde heard that the lovely female knight in front of him directly asked about other people's scars without knowing the world, and replied helplessly: "I was regarded as a labor force for building a fortress. I was not sold as a slave, but I received a lot of whips."

"Hmph, those Barbary pirates and the hateful Ottoman Empire, if I meet them, I will use this knight sword to cut them in half!" Hannah pulled out the sharp sword at her waist, Feint a few times.

"Miss Hannah, have you ever killed someone?" Li Jinde asked.

"No, my brother is the Grand Master of the Knights. Without his permission, no captain would dare to take me out to sea." Hannah pouted.

"The battlefield is very scary. A life is gone. A lovely and beautiful girl like Miss Hannah should listen to your brother and stay in the city of Valletta. I see the city of Valletta passing by Your hospital knights have been strengthened for decades and are indestructible, you are safe here, you should understand your brother's actions." Li Jinde still has some words to say, the male soldier is captured and can work as a coolie to find a way to escape After coming out, the consequences of the female knight being captured will be much more serious.

It's no wonder that Castella, as grand master, forbade Hannah from leaving the island of Malta.

"Who is so cute..." Hannah blushed, "I am a glorious knight, God is with me, I want to destroy the evil pirates and heretics!"

Li Jinde shook his head helplessly.Among other things, the Knights Hospitaller is full of fighting spirit from top to bottom. It is no wonder that such a small-scale organization can survive the tragic Mediterranean battlefield.

However, although knights who have participated in life-and-death battles are fanatical, they will also have experience in avoiding danger and surviving on the battlefield.And a knight like Hannah who has never been on the battlefield may have a high probability of dying.

"Do you think I can't do it, or do you think I'm not pious enough?" Hannah asked after seeing Li Jinde's disapproving look, as if her arrogance as a knight had been despised.

"Of course not. I don't doubt your courage in battle. It's just that few people wear such heavy armor now. Although there are still many boarding battles in the Mediterranean, such armor is difficult to stop muskets, and it is difficult to fight. Flexible, once you fall into the water, you will die. Probably there are cuirassiers on the plains who will wear such heavy armor and charge with spears. It is a miracle that you can grow so tall while wearing such armor." Li Jinde lost She paused to dispel the foolish notion of recklessly fighting the pirates to the death.

"You look down on me! I want to fight you!" Hannah raised her eyebrows and pointed her long sword at Li Jinde.

"I'm just a businessman, I don't know swordsmanship. Miss Hannah, it doesn't make sense for you to kill me in a duel." occur everywhere.

"But... Damn..." Hannah found that everyone was looking at her, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

She is a self-proclaimed proud knight, is it possible that she is going to forcibly strike a powerless businessman with a sword?
"Hannah, stop messing around, I told you they are our distinguished guests of the Knights Hospitaller!" Castella frowned when she saw her aggressive younger sister get into trouble again.

He didn't fully understand Li Jinde's status among the Huaxia people, but those who could alert a fleet to rescue were not ordinary people.He was trying to use the power of the combined fleet to attack the Barbary pirates and the Ottoman Empire who were his enemies, and by the way, make a fortune in the plundering operations.It's not easy for him as a group leader to find a way to support such a large group of knights!If the cooperation between the two parties is broken due to the influence of this sister...

"Let's let you go this time, we knights don't bully civilians." After Hannah reached a step, she took back her sword.

But she still glared at Li Jinde.

The first time dealing with Chinese people was not so smooth, Hannah was depressed for a while.She didn't know why she quarreled with Li Jinde.

"Miss Hannah, those orientals are not chivalrous at all, and they won't give in to you. It seems that they are no different from those rude Barbary pirates."

"That's right, I don't know what kind of benefits they promised the grand leader, but the grand leader is so polite to them."

"Should we find a way to trouble him?"

Several young male knights who followed Hannah were eager to teach Li Jinde a lesson for Hannah.

"Don't make trouble for him. After all, he is my brother's guest. Maybe my brother has something to ask of them. Let's not make trouble." Although Hannah was not angry, she was not a single-minded person. In her opinion, she It is to protect the glory of the knight, "I will find a way to participate in a battle in person, and use my record to prove to them that I am a brave knight!"

"Ah!?" Several young male knights were dumbfounded when they saw that Hannah really wanted to fight the pirates.

Some of them went to sea with their fathers to fight against pirates, to plunder pirate ships and Ottoman ships, and they knew how dangerous the real battlefield was.

"Miss Hannah, although the Chinese person's words are not nice, but the pirates are really cruel. Although you are the best swordsman among us, you have never been on the battlefield..."

"That's right, miss, it's safer for you to stay in Valletta. The heavy responsibility of fighting against pirates and the evil Ottoman Empire is entrusted to us male knights. We are willing to use our swords and blood to protect Miss Hannah's safety!"

A group of young male knights expressed their loyalty to Hannah.

However, Hannah didn't listen much.

Castella held a banquet in the city for the incoming Chinese and Britons. Many knights from the Knights in the city participated in this banquet, and even civilians who were not official members of the Knights of Malta could attend.The commoners who had never seen a Chinese on the island gathered at the side of the banquet, looking at this group of strangers curiously.

The British nobles and officers are veterans of banquets. The officers of the Fourth Fleet have also participated in many British banquets. Only the army officers of the Far West Expedition led by Sun Chuanting seem relatively unfamiliar.

"Let's toast to the great future of our combined fleet!" Castella said excitedly.

"Cheers!" The three groups of forces celebrated here in advance for the common benefit - money.

"Miss Hannah, I didn't mean to offend before, but you didn't go to the pirate's lair, so naturally you don't know the danger." Li Jinde saw the female knight Hannah in the crowd, and didn't want to get too stiff with the Knights of Malta , I want to ease the atmosphere in the past.

"Hmph!" Hannah turned her head and walked to the other side.

"This guy is really stubborn..." Li Jinde shook his head.
