"A little softer, a little softer, don't use so much force!"
A strong wind blew Reggie to a tree in the garden, and Natalie stood under the tree, shivering.
Reggie climbed down from the tree with difficulty. His face was scratched and his hands and legs were covered with scars.
"I'm warning you!" Reggie looked at Natalie fiercely, "If you dare to treat me so roughly again, I will be really angry!"
"Sorry sir, I have never tried..."
"Okay, okay! Now listen to me and slowly concentrate. Just like Calaf taught you, you have to feel that the wind is a part of you."
Kalaf, who was standing aside, shook his head and said, "Sir, I think your training method is wrong. When I was young, every training was done with a whip."
"Go get the whip first, and I will consider your suggestion carefully," Reggie straightened his clothes, wiped the blood, and continued to say to Natalie, "Imagine carefully, imagine what summer is like.
The breeze is very cool and gentle, slowly blowing over your cheeks and blowing your hair away. Yes, that's what it feels like, a slight cold wind coming slowly."
This time Natalie did well, and a breeze slowly blew towards Reggie.
"Very good, very good, that's how it feels. Good girl, you did very well." Reggie smiled. After two consecutive days of training, some results were finally achieved. Natalie gradually learned to control the wind speed.
"Like this, keep it up, very good!"
"Sir, something bad has happened!"
"What's the big deal? Wait...Help!"
Taylor rushed into the back garden, which frightened Natalie. A strong wind blew Reggie directly into the second-floor window.
The three people stood silently downstairs for a long time. The window was smashed and there was no sound inside.
"Sir, sir," Taylor realized that he had made a serious mistake, "Are you okay?"
After waiting for a while, Reggie poked his head out of the window. He tidied his hair, and there were still a lot of sawdust on it.
He pointed at Calaf and Natalie: "You continue to practice."
He pointed at Tell again: "You, come up."
…
Tyre brought news from the dock. A fleet appeared on the sea level. There were about a dozen ships, and the flag of the Golden Eagle Nation was hoisted on the mast.
Why did the Golden Eagle Kingdom’s fleet appear here?
Batchelor's words quickly appeared in Reggie's mind.
Overseas countries will also invade stateless lords, and the Golden Eagle Kingdom is a model that is keen on overseas aggression. Two-thirds of this country's territory is not connected to the mainland. All of these territories come from overseas invasion.
There are two reasons why the Golden Eagle Nation is keen on overseas aggression. First, this country has a long coastline and strong economic and military strength, which makes it qualified for overseas aggression. Second, the Golden Eagle Nation’s neighbors
It is also very powerful, including the White Tower Kingdom, the Benlang Kingdom and the Tianxing Kingdom. The military strength of these neighboring countries is only a handful on the Origino continent, which also makes the Golden Eagle Kingdom lose the opportunity to expand on land.
If you can't afford to offend powerful neighbors, you can only pick weak opponents from the sea, conquer a territory, and then station troops and managers in this territory. This is the most primitive colonial strategy.
The vast ocean has unlimited opportunities, but also great risks. Weak opponents are not so easy to find, and there are more than one countries that want to take action. The Golden Eagle Country pursues the path of maritime expansion, not only due to its strong naval strength
, and also possesses an extremely keen sense of information. In an era of underdeveloped communications, this is an important basis for the Golden Eagle Kingdom to dominate the ocean.
The sense of information includes the ability to collect and process information. It was only on the third day after Suixue City was expelled that the Golden Eagle Nation received the news. This time was not too early, but when several other countries were still holding military meetings, the Golden Eagle Nation
The country has issued an order to send troops. Their standing warships have enough weapons and supplies stored on them. After receiving the order in the morning, they can go to sea in the afternoon. This kind of efficiency is unmatched by other countries.
Now that their fleet has approached the coast, it seems that a war is inevitable.
Reggie led the First Army to the pier. Next to the pier was a section of city wall built with cement, five hundred feet long and six feet high. This section of the city wall was specially used to prevent enemy ships from landing. Behind the city wall were placed
Twelve catapults, all equipped with iron barrel bombs, were ready.
It looked very impressive, but Reggie knew in his heart that such fortifications were of very limited use.
At sea, all concepts of war must be redefined.
For example, distance, due to the lack of reference objects, the ships that appear to be close in front of you may be more than five hundred feet away. All ships seem to be stationary on the sea, but in fact they are always moving. In this case,
The hit rate of the trebuchet is very impressive. Not even one of the fifty bombs may hit the ship, and even if it misses just a little, the bomb falling in the sea will be like a stone. In addition to making a splash, it will not hit the ship.
It doesn't have any effect either.
Before the creation of cannon, the main function of this section of the city wall was deterrence.
The enemy sent sixteen large sailing ships. According to Bachelo's introduction, these were the Falcon warships of the Golden Eagle Kingdom and the best warships on the Origino continent. While sailing at full speed, the Falcon warships
It takes two days for a ship to arrive from Broken Snow City to Blue Bay. This efficiency is far beyond what other ships can match.
Each Falcon warship can carry 200 warriors, which proves that the number of enemy troops may be around 3,000.
Reggie was a little nervous. This was his first time participating in a naval battle. He was wondering whether to launch a wave of attacks when the enemy came to shore, or to use up all the gunpowder now and retreat quickly.
Fortunately, the enemy was not in a hurry to attack. They lined up their warships in a neat row on the sea, with the purpose of giving Reggie some shock.
A small boat slowly sailed from the flagship in the middle to the dock. After the small boat docked, Jiawen immediately led a group of infantry to surround it.
A man in a black gown walked towards the boat. He raised his hand and showed the messenger's badge.
"Hello friends from Shattering Snow City, I am Viscount Diahtomi Tokton from the Golden Eagle Kingdom. I am here to deliver peace, and I bring the blessings and blessings of the Golden Eagle Kingdom."
Jiawen was a little at a loss. Reggie said to Batchelor: "Since he is a Viscount, it seems that I should be the one to greet him personally."
Batchelor said: "This is the tradition of the Golden Eagle Country. They care about equality in status."
Reggie said: "They seem to be very polite."
Batchelor said: "Politeness is just an illusion. I hope you won't be fooled by the illusion."
"I have been confused." Reggie showed a strange smile.
Batchelor shrugged and said, "Sir, the other person is just a skinny middle-aged man."
"You don't understand what I mean," Reggie looked at the sea, his eyes showing long-lost excitement, "I am fascinated by their ship."
"Good taste, my lord." Bachelo also smiled.
"We deserve the best warship in the Origino continent!" Reggie nodded towards Batchelor.
"My Grand Maester."
"My lord."
"It's time to welcome our guests."
The two of them slowly walked towards the envoy of the Golden Eagle Kingdom with greedy smiles.
