After a day's rest, four warships, led by Reggie, rushed to Spike Island.
Reggie found a new route, and with Natalie controlling the wind direction, they reached their destination in only two days.
The nobles of the Golden Eagle people stood on the port. They had prepared bread and salt. This was the simplest and most sincere welcome ceremony of this era.
Things were not as bad as imagined, which made Nipoli somewhat embarrassed.
"Anyway, it's better to be careful." Nipoli checked his musket. "I suggest that we bring more soldiers ashore, at least all the guards."
"I suggest we don't rush to land yet," Reggie put down the telescope, turned to Yinge and said, "Get your artillery ready and call Dorothy over."
"What happened?" Nipoli looked at Reggie nervously.
Reggie handed the binoculars to Nipoli. Nipoli didn't notice anything unusual at first, until he saw the cavalry in the bushes.
Those cavalrymen had dead grass and branches stuck on their bodies and were hiding in the woods very concealedly. They had crossbows and lances in their hands. If Reggie came ashore rashly, he might not have time to shoot, and he would be shot to death by these cavalrymen.
sieve.
Nipoli's inference was correct. Spiked Island was really not that easy to tame. But even Nipoli didn't guess that they dared to trap and kill their lord.
"Aim the muzzle at the rocks on the shore," Reggie shouted, "I want to give them some warning!"
"I don't recommend doing this." Nipoli shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Reggie asked in shock, "Do you have a soft heart sometimes?"
Nipoli pointed to the forest and said: "I suggest you aim the muzzle directly there and kill some of the cavalry first."
"Isn't that necessary?" Reggie frowned, "They are all very good warriors."
"I know you like warriors very much, but sometimes, only bloodshed can make them understand the price."
Reggie followed Nipoli's suggestion. According to Reggie's previous idea, these Golden Eagles should have returned to their home country. It didn't matter if they stayed or not, but if they had evil intentions, there was no need to be soft on them. Arrogant
It is impossible for the Golden Eagle people to obey Reggie's rule, and these people are destined to become a threat to the island.
Four cannonballs fell in the woods, and the remains of the cavalry and armor were blown up everywhere. The nobles standing on the shore were in a mess. Reggie shouted to the shore through Dorothy: "Lord of the Golden Eagle.
Sirio, bring a boat to my warship."
Nipoli did business with Spike Island. He met the largest lord of the Golden Eagle people. This guy named Silio was also a viscount. He was nominally the lord of the entire island, but in fact, he could only be among the Golden Eagle people.
Have a certain degree of appeal.
When Reggie passed by Spike Island for the first time, he once attacked Reggie's army. The tragic defeat made him understand that there was almost no hope of defeating Reggie in a sea battle.
So he chose a sneak attack on land, but what he didn't expect was that fighting on land would make his chances of victory even slimmer.
Reggie issued three warnings in succession. Silio, who was frightened, did not give any response. Reggie ordered the cannon to be loaded again. This time, he pointed the muzzle directly at the port.
When the first cannonball exploded, Silio led all the nobles and fled back to their castle decisively.
Yinge continued to attack the remaining soldiers at the port. Only when the port was indeed empty did Reggie allow the warship to dock.
He took fifty soldiers and two cannons with him and followed Nipoli to Silio's castle.
This castle is as strong as a small fortress. The outermost part is a city wall, which is more than eight feet high. Behind the city wall are five towers connected to each other. Each tower is filled with archers, totaling at least three hundred people.
, they drew their longbows and were ready to fight Reggie at any time.
According to Modesa's description, this is a typical golden eagle-style castle. What Reggie sees now is only the outer castle. After the outer castle, there is a middle castle. The middle castle is more complex. The towers are connected by cloisters. The cloisters and towers are connected by cloisters.
There are archers everywhere, and spearmen are ambushed at some key intersections.
After the central fort, there is the inner fort, where the lord and his family live. The inner fort can also be used as a battlefield. Under normal circumstances, there will be at least hundreds of infantry guarding the inner fort, waiting for the final bloody battle.
No matter how many floors the castle has, for Reggie, there is no problem that cannonballs can't solve. Just after listening to Modesa's description, he suddenly became very interested in this castle. This complex building has already fascinated Reggie.
Ji felt a little artistic atmosphere, so it was a pity that it was blown up like this.
Reggie gave Syrio one last warning. As long as Syrio surrendered immediately, he could ensure Syrio's safe return to the Golden Eagle Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, Syrio neither surrendered nor chose to resist. He gave another answer: "Send your knights to fight to the death with my knights, one-on-one, until we fight to the death!
Do you dare? I guess you won’t!"
What a shameless idea. He has hundreds or even thousands of soldiers, and he actually wants to compete with Reggie one-on-one, and fight until every soldier is killed. According to his style of play, even the soldiers around Reggie
All go to war, and each soldier must win at least twenty battles before victory is possible.
Of course, Reggie would not agree to this stupid condition. He ordered the soldiers to load the cannonballs immediately. Before Reggie could fire the cannons, Silio gave a second plan: "Fight five games, just five games! We will each send five.
Knight, whoever wins three victories first can win everything! Do you dare? I guess you still don’t dare!"
"I'll beat you!" Reggie cursed in his native language, pointing at Sirio on the tower, "Damn fat man (Cyrio is very fat, he is less than six feet tall, but weighs more than three hundred pounds)
, I won’t duel with you, I won’t waste the lives of soldiers, if you don’t come out and surrender, I will burn your damn castle to the ground!”
"What qualifications does a person who dare not face a duel have to become the master of Spiked Island?"
"I am the master of Spiked Island, you have no right to judge me!"
"You have no shame!"
"You don't deserve to tell me shame!"
"You are a coward!"
"You are a stupid pig!"
…
The two scolded each other like shrews for a long time, and Modesa, who was standing aside, became a little impatient.
"Let me try," he stretched his neck, "I haven't been to the arena for a long time, and my hands are really itchy."
Reggie shook his head and said: "There is no need to take risks for such things."
Modessa sneered: "I don't need to take risks, or even sweat for these idiots."
"Don't underestimate the enemy!" Reggie frowned, "Don't forget that you also suffered losses on his camel island."
"Is there such a thing?" Modessa scratched his head, "Why don't I have any impression at all?"
Pretending is the nature of all men, and they will selectively forget some memories that are not conducive to showing off.
Modessa stood under the city wall and shouted: "Call your knights out!"
Silio looked at Modesa and said, "I'm talking about five people fighting one by one. Why are you the only one here? You are humiliating me!"
"Stop talking nonsense, you fat man!" Modesa frowned and said, "Hurry up and get your people down. You can fight one by one or a group of people. In short, don't delay any more time. The lord is about to fire.
"
Syrio was indeed stalling for time, although he knew that it was meaningless. He first asked the soldiers to play music, and then held a simple sacrifice. After a series of complicated rituals, a knight finally walked out of the castle.
The knight adjusted his armor, raised his lance in front of him, and said to Modesa: "Where is your horse?"
Modesa said blankly: "I don't need a war horse."
"This is an unfair duel. As a knight, I cannot bully someone who doesn't even have a war horse..."
Before he finished speaking, Modessa jumped up, grabbed the knight from his horse, and threw him heavily to the ground.
The knight was unconscious. Modessa stepped on his chest with her foot and said to Syrio: "Next."
