(I feel stuck, so I’d better try my best to write a chapter. I’d better ask for monthly tickets for Xiao Hei’s “Disaster Is Coming”.)
The shadow swept across the plain, as if a huge scythe swept across the meadow, causing waves of grass to fly. The cavemen walking in the grass screamed and fled. A dragon beast was passing by from low altitude.
Then came the second and third heads, rolling in one after another. The huge wingspan covered the sky and the sun, and the dragons covered the sky. The strong wind raised her long black hair, and the hair swept across her face. Modesty said
She raised her head and looked at this scene with amusement. From very close to very far in her field of vision, the vast horizon seemed to form a flat arc on the horizon. At the far end of this arc, there was an end that could not be reached by sight.
, the tips of human walls and towers are gleaming.
That’s where Loon Port is——
…
At this moment, the warning bells were clanging loudly in Loen Port. One after another, fast horses carried the port guard's messengers back and forth through the streets and alleys. The sound of horse hooves fell on the stone slabs like a storm.
On the top, it seems to be in the midst of panic. The dock area is in a gloomy mood. A large number of port officials and the fleeing Cruz nobles brought by Brando are gathered here. From time to time, they look at the bay with gloomy expressions - as if they only want to look at the bay.
Seeing a wooden board floating on the sea would give them a little peace of mind, but unfortunately, the waters between the dozens of piers and piers extending straight into the bay were clean and empty, not even an extra wave of water.
nothing.
The cavemen are gathering on the plains.
The gryphon knights who flew back from the plains also detected signs of the dragon beasts moving out.
It was obvious that the Jorgendigon army behind them had discovered their traces and was preparing to attack the city. Bad news came one after another, but there seemed to be no good news. Rogers and others who were mixed in the crowd at this moment also
No better than the others, although they had some confidence in the young earl from Eruin before. But as time goes by, how much of this confidence is still certain, it seems
It has become increasingly difficult to speak.
"The smell of sulfur in the air is getting stronger and stronger," Trevor sniffed his nose, frowned and muttered: "The wind is blowing from the sea, we can smell the sulfur here. I'm afraid of dragon beasts
The group is very close."
"Perhaps that adult is getting ready..." Rogers comforted him in a low voice.
"Is it really fast?" Trevor looked up at the sea. Not to mention ships, not even a guard could be seen in the direction of the dock. It didn't look like a fleet would suddenly appear.
"Trevor, there is no need for that gentleman to lie to us," Nasha replied weakly while lying on the stretcher: "Even if the dragon beasts really arrive, the city defense can still hold on for a while, and there are Pegasus knights in Loon Port.
..." She seemed to want to give her companions some confidence. But her own complexion was not much better. After all, if the Pegasus Knight could really be used, the ships in Loen Port would not have been burned to the ground. This
Everyone understands the truth. At the end of the sentence, she couldn't speak any more. She stopped and asked in a low voice: "Kui, please tell me..."
Rogers and Trevor also turned around and looked at the young man with black hair. Although the youngest member of the four members did not speak much, he always spoke calmly and calmly. At times like this, the other party's judgment would become unclear.
More and more reliable.
Kui raised his head and replied calmly: "I was thinking about what he said before, and I don't know if I heard it wrong."
"What did you hear wrong?"
"I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, the berth area that the Earl asked Earl Alcorns to prepare for him seems to be a special berth..." The black-haired young man frowned in a rare way and answered.
road.
"What did you say!?"
The wind direction in the wilderness seemed to have suddenly changed, and dark clouds began to gather on the sea.
More than ten minutes passed in solemn silence, but there was still no movement on the sea. Uneasiness was spreading among the crowd, especially among the Cruz nobles, who inevitably began to whisper, although many people still harbored a little pity.
Hope - the hope that Brando can perform a miracle at the last moment, but as time passes, this hope is becoming increasingly slim.
After the disappointment, voices of doubt arose - think about it and understand how it is possible to conjure up a fleet with empty words. Fortunately, they believed it before.
The Cruz nobles looked a little ugly, and some even suspected that Brando and his party had secretly abandoned them and left. Fortunately, before this rumor spread, Enid and Princess Magdale came with the Eruin envoy.
After refuting the rumors, Shengsheng suppressed the commotion. But then another theory spread among the crowd. Although not everyone was present when Count Olkons and Wallas handed over, there were always some
The nobles who witnessed the situation at that time, after these nobles reacted from their uneasiness, finally some people, like the black-haired young man, remembered that what Brando asked Viscount Wallas to prepare for them at that time was the special gift in the port.
berth.
Floating fleet?
Everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky. The white ivory towers were neatly arranged over the port area like the teeth of a comb. However, the air space between the towers was still empty, except for a slight glow.
The ring is rotating.
"Could that Lord Count really be able to conjure up a floating fleet to come here?" Noble Cruz present could not help but feel suspicious again.
"Stop dreaming, where did the Eruin people get their floating fleet?" This time, it was the port officials of Loen Port who broke everyone's illusions. Most of these people were local gentry and nobles, and they were clearly distinguishable from other fleeing nobles on the dock.
They were previously unwilling to give up the port to others - especially to a group of Eruin people, but they were driven out of the airport by Charles, who had been authorized by Count Alkans, and was greatly lost in front of everyone.
A face, so although he knew that those Eruin people were here to maintain the special berths of the airport, they deliberately looked on with a cold eye.
In fact, from the bottom of their hearts, these people do not believe that these Eruin people can create a floating fleet. Besides, they have never seen Brando's ability. As Cruz people, they will never believe that a group of people can create a floating fleet.
The country bumpkins will be more powerful than them - this kind of mentality was once possessed by the fleeing nobles present, but it was more or less reversed after experiencing the battle in Blackstone Town that night.
"...You can't say that. As far as I know, the Eruin royal family still has a floating fleet." A voice in the crowd retorted, not giving any face to these local nobles. In fact, the fleeing nobles are different from these local nobles.
They are not familiar with each other, and they are even more noble in terms of their birth status. After all, most of these port officials are just vassals of Count Alcorns, and the other nobles present still have such status.
His status is not much inferior to Alcorns himself.
Hearing this rebuttal, the port official who had spoken earlier suddenly looked a little ugly. He actually didn't know that the Eruin royal family had a fleet of its own, but in the eyes of the proud navy of the Cruz Empire-Eruin's fleet was made by the wind.
The navy that the elves helped build was not even as strong as the local fleet. It could not be called a real fleet at all. It was just a child's toy. As the port staff of the empire, they were more or less subject to this kind of
Due to ideological influence, this insignificant fleet was simply ignored.
"That's called a fleet? A bunch of ignorant landlubbers!" He cursed secretly in his mind, but he still understood that the other party's status was higher than his own, so he didn't dare to say this out loud. He only sneered and said: "Since everyone also
Knowing that it is the fleet of the Eruin royal family, it is difficult to say whether the earl can mobilize it. If I remember correctly, the earl is neither a member of the royal family nor an important minister with extraordinary status, but just an envoy.
Taking a step back, even if he can mobilize this fleet, it is different from what most people think. In fact, the floating battleship itself does not have the ability to teleport. The teleportation of the fleet relies on the wizards in the fleet and prior arrangements.
A good large-scale portal, the empire relying on the temple is unique in this aspect. But I don’t think the Eruin people have this ability.”
Although these local officials do not have the same status as most of the fleeing nobles present, they are familiar with each other after all, and their understanding of port affairs and even maritime affairs is much greater than that of other people present. When this port official said this, other people present suddenly asked
There is no reason to refute. Indeed, although the Eruin people have a fleet, it is the only fleet in that small kingdom. Let’s not talk about whether Brando is qualified to mobilize at will. Even if he is qualified to mobilize,
The distance from Eruin to Loen is far more than thousands of miles. To teleport the fleet to such a long distance, do the Eruin people have the ability?
At least in the minds of most Cruz people, the Eruin people definitely don't have this ability.
Although they have to admit that the young Count Eruin in front of them is better than them all, but that is just an individual after all. One or two geniuses may be born in a kingdom. This is not surprising, not to mention the sword master.
The example of Darus is there, and it is not unacceptable to these imperial nobles. But the fleet is different. The comparison of the naval strength between the two countries shows the comprehensive strength between the two countries.
The gap is obviously not something that one or two geniuses can change, and the gap between the Kingdom of Eruin and the Empire is obvious and cannot be calculated.
Even if the empire wanted to teleport a local fleet to a place as far away as Eruin, it would still need to set up a magic circle in advance, or even activate the Flame Chapel, which would consume a lot of materials and energy. How could a mere envoy bring it?
Walking around the city with these things, unless they were preparing to attack the imperial capital from the beginning?
However, this was obviously impossible in the eyes of the nobles present.
The port official couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw that the other people's faces turned bad - although if Brando couldn't conjure a fleet out of thin air, he himself probably wouldn't be able to escape in this port, but he and the others were full of expectations at the beginning.
The difference is that he never thought that the Eruin people had this ability. He only thought that the other party was a liar. At this moment, he was naturally very happy to step on the other party's feet and vent his anger, so he continued:
"This may disappoint everyone present. If you want to teleport the fleet to any place without preparation, even the empire can't do it, let alone those Eruin people."
When he said this, the nobles present could not help but feel even lower. After all, no matter how capable these Cruz people thought Brando was, they would never admit in their hearts that the Eruin people were actually capable of something that even the empire could not do.
Do it - after all, this is not a competition between one or two people, but a comparison of national strength. After all, even those who have confidence in Eruin do not dare to say that Eruin is more powerful than the Cruz Empire.
It’s so easy to say something so generous and laughable.
And the port official himself thought so. He obviously felt that his words were the final word, and no more miracles would ever happen. But under such circumstances, there was a sound coming from the crowd.
A calm voice asked: "You mean, it can actually be done, but the empire can't do it?"
Hearing this question, the port official couldn't help but his eyelids twitched, and he immediately looked in that direction angrily, wanting to see who was so ignorant: What the Empire can't do, can the Eruin people do it? This is simply a fantasy.
What a night! But when he raised his head, he first saw Kui wearing a knight uniform, and then his eyes fell on the simple badge on the chest of Director Luo, the black-haired young man, "Royal Knight?" He almost thought he had seen it.
Wrong, I couldn't help but wipe my eyes, and then my face changed and I realized that the person who asked me the question was really a real royal knight. Although he was arrogant, he was not a fool, and he knew very well these royal knights who were wandering around the place.
The knight was probably a knight of the inner court. After his expression changed for a while, he replied without daring to make any mistakes: "That is only a theoretical possibility, unless there are countless wizards providing energy for this fleet and casting teleportation spells...
...The number of wizards required to do this is probably far from enough even if all the wizards in Eruin are gathered together."
What he meant by this sentence was actually a death sentence for Brando's sworn guarantee. The hearts of everyone present could not help but sink deeply at this moment, and everyone could not help but subconsciously raise their heads and see
Looking at the gloomy and unchanging sky, there was still no movement among the towers. Whether the Earl was a liar or a miracle worker seemed to be revealed in an instant.
…
"see it?"
Voras stared gloomily at the horizon and nodded. Standing on the top of the airport tower, he could already see a shadow floating on the horizon in the direction of the plain. It was a group of dragon beasts. "The Pegasus Knights are ready to take off.
But...I'm afraid it's of no use. Unless the Griffin Knights of the Border Guard Corps are here, I'm afraid it won't delay much..." He replied to Marjorie a little stiffly - not long ago
, Brando sent the young sergeant to negotiate with him.
After Wallas finished speaking, he couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the cross-bridge again. As the person in charge of the port, he was different from the short-sighted officials below. After all, he could see what these wizards from Eruin were doing. These wizards and wizards
The apprentice was really maintaining the port - not just pretending. For a moment, even he almost believed it, or maybe the Earl could really conjure up a fleet, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the other party was doing such useless work.
But the problem is that, just like the port officials below, even if he tried hard, he couldn't figure out how Brando could send Eruin's royal fleet to this place.
"Mr. Marjorie," he couldn't help but asked with some difficulty: "Do you really think your captain can mobilize the Royal Eruin fleet to this place... I mean, we have run out of time.
too much?"
After hearing these words, Marjorie withdrew his eyes from the horizon. He gave the old guy a strange look and replied: "When did I tell you that the Royal Eruin fleet would be here? I am the fleet.
Sergeant, I can tell you clearly that the earl is not qualified to mobilize the royal fleet."
"Ah?" Wallas was almost stunned. He stared at the latter in stunned silence and asked tremblingly: "Then what are you doing here!?"
Marjorie shook her head calmly: "I don't know, but the Earl has his own ideas. As a soldier, I only need to obey orders."
Volas almost went dark after hearing this. The only hope for all of them is that Brando can mobilize Eruin's royal fleet here. That's it, it seems to him like a miracle.
Something happened, and now the young petty officer actually told him with a calm face that their Lord Count might really want to conjure a fleet for them out of thin air. The question is, Martha, is such a thing possible?
Viscount Wallas only felt that even if the sun came out in the west, such a thing might not happen.
He stared at Marjorie dumbfounded. After a moment of dizziness, he seemed to remember something. He quickly turned around and ran in the direction of Brando, shouting angrily: "Mr. Brando, you have to give me an explanation!"
But before he could take two steps, he was stopped by a figure. The person who stopped him was Charles. The latter smiled slightly and said: "Lord Viscount, don't worry, the lord is in contact with Eruin. We met
It's a bit troublesome, but trust me, my lord, he won't let you down."
"You..." Volas looked furious and couldn't help but replied eloquently: "Okay, I'll see how you can conjure up a fleet, damn Eruin people!"
When Charles heard this, he just shrugged lightly.
But he did not lie. Brando was indeed in some trouble at the moment.
The trouble comes from the Bugas——
…
"Ms. Tanya, I don't quite understand what you mean." Brando stared at the figure on his palm with a watery face, and replied angrily: "What exactly do you want to say."
"What I mean is very simple, little guy. You know, those guys at the top of the Silver Society always don't like to play their cards according to common sense. I just want to remind you, don't be too surprised." Tanya seemed like boiled water.
He replied calmly.
"I don't care how you play your cards, as long as we complete our deal as promised."
"is that so?"
After Tanya said this, she couldn't help but subconsciously turned around and looked out the window with a strange expression.
There, outside the airport bridge in Valhalla, and even all the subjects in the entire Fir Territory, they could see pieces of silver light shining in the eastern sky, and floating ships one after another flashed out of the light and were parked.
In mid-air, in an instant, most of the sky was filled. Then more dense light points flickered. After each light point disappeared, a wizard wearing a silver robe was left behind.
Within minutes, the sky above Valhalla was filled with countless such wizards.
