The Amber Sword: Act 120 The Shadow of the Fleet (2)
(I feel like Kaka, I still try to write a chapter. I'll help Xiaohei's "Disaster" for a monthly ticket.)
The shadow swept across the plain, as if a huge sickle swept across the meadow, causing the grass to roll over, and the Troglodyte traveling in the grass screamed and fled. One head Dragon beast is passing by from low altitude, followed by the second head, the third head, one after another, the huge wingspan covers the sky, dragonflight covers the sky. The strong wind raised her long black hair, and her hair swept across her face. Modesty looked up at the scene with a playful look. From her vision to the extreme, the broad horizon seemed to form a flat arc in the sky. At the farthest end of this arc, at the end beyond sight, the walls of humans and the tip of High Tower are shining.
That's where Leeuwin port is located --
...
At this moment, the bells of ding ding are being used as warnings in the Leeuwin port. One fast horse after another is carrying the port guard's messengers to and fro on the streets and lanes. On the slate, it seemed to fall in the hearts of the people. There is a sad cloud in the dock area, and many port officials and the fleeing Kirrlutz noble brought by Brando from time to time gloomily look at the bay --, even if they can see a piece of wooden board floating on the sea, they can feel a little relieved. But unfortunately, the waters between the dozens of trestle wharves that stretch straight into the bay are clean and empty, and there is not even an extra spray.
Troglodyte is gathering over the plain.
Griffin Knight flying back from the plains also detected signs of the Dragon beast group.
Obviously, the Gorgon Ravine army already behind them found their tracks and was preparing to launch an attack on the city. The bad news followed, but the good news seemed to be none. At the moment, the Rogers and the others mixed in the crowd is no better than the others, although they had a little confidence in the young Lord Count from Aouine's. But as time passed by bit by bit, it seemed that it became harder to say how much confidence this kind of faith had.
"The sulfur smell in the air is getting heavier and heavier," Trevor sniffed and sniffed, frowning, "The wind is blowing from the sea, and we can all smell the sulfur here. I'm afraid of Dragon beast. Group already is very close. "
"Perhaps that adult is coming soon ..." Rogers soothed quietly.
"Really fast?" Trevor looked up at the sea. Don't say the ship in the direction of the dock. Even a guard could not see it. It didn't look like a fleet would suddenly appear.
"Trevor, there is no need for that adult to deceive us," Narsha lay on the stretcher and replied weakly: "Even if the Dragon beast group really arrived, the city defense can still support the moment, Leeuwin port and Pegasus Knight ..." she Seems to give my fellows a little confidence. But his face is not so good. After all, if Pegasus Knight can be used effectively, the ships in the Leeuwin port will not be burned completely, everyone understands this truth. In the end, she couldn't speak for herself, stopped and asked in a low voice, "Kui, tell me ..."
Rogers and Tefrey also turned around and looked at the brunette youngster. Although the youngest of the four members didn't speak much, it was in every word. Calm and calm, the more time the other party's judgment becomes more reliable.
Kui raises head came and calmly replied, "I thought what he said before, I don't know if I heard it wrong."
"What did you hear wrong?"
"I didn't pay too much attention at the time, but now I think back. The berth where Lord Count requested Orkens Count for him seemed to be a special berth ..." The black-haired youngster replied frowned rarely.
"What did you say!?"
The wind seemed to change suddenly over the field, and dark clouds began to converge on the sea.
The time has passed for more than ten minutes in the stillness, but there is still no movement on the sea surface. Anxiety is spreading among the crowd, especially in the noble of Kirrlutz. It is inevitable to start whispering, although many people still have a pitiful hope that -- hopes that Brando will turn into a miracle at the last moment, only time passes by. This hope is becoming increasingly slim.
After disappointment, the voice of questioning grew out. -- thinks and understands, how can the air port white fang become a fleet, but they believed it before.
Kirrlutz nobles looks a bit ugly. Some people even suspect that Brando and already secretly abandoned them and left. Fortunately, before this rumor spread, Ynead and Princess Magdelle brought Aouine envoys to dispel rumors, only to suppress the commotion. Go on. But then another statement spread among the crowd. Although not everyone was present when the Orkens Count and Warras handed over, there were always some nobles who saw the situation at the time, and waited for these noble to react from uneasiness. Finally, someone remembered like youngster with black hair. At that time, Brando asked Wallas Viscount to prepare for them, and it was the first class berth in the port.
Air Ship team?
Everyone subconsciously looks up to the sky. The white ivory towers are neatly arranged above the harbour area like comb teeth. However, the airspace between the towers is still a clear space, except for a little The glowing ring was spinning.
"The Lord Count of could it be that can really transform an Air Ship team to come here?" The Kirrlutz noble at the scene couldn't help but be suspicious again.
"Do n’t dream, where is the Air Ship team from Aouinian." This time it was the Leeuwin port officials who broke illusion. Most of these people were local gents noble, and other refugees noble as rivers Jing and Wei separate clearly on the dock. Not willing to let the port let people --, especially to a group of Aouinian, but was driven out of the airport by Ciel authorized by Orkens Count, and lost a face in front of everyone, so although I knew that those Aouinian were coming to maintain The first class berth at the airport, but deliberately stood by.
In fact, from the heart, these people do not believe that these Aouinian can be transformed into a Air Ship team. Besides, they have never seen the Brando's ability. As Kirrlutzian, they will never believe that a group of hooligans will be more than them. The powerful -- mentality that was present at the scene of the noble had once owned it, but only after experiencing the one-night battle in Heishizhen. It's more or less turned around.
"... Can't say that. As far as I know, the Aouine royal family still has a Air Ship team." A voice in the crowd retorted, not giving these local noble faces at all, in fact, they escaped between noble and these regional nobles. I am not familiar with it, even in terms of birth status. It is even more expensive. After all, most of these port officials are only vassals of Orkens Count, and the other nobles present still have so few status and how much not inferior is compared to Orkens.
Hearing this rebuttal, the port official's face that was previously spoken is suddenly ugly. Why didn't he know that the Aouine royal family had a one's own fleet, but in the opinion of the proud navy of Kirrlutz Empire, the -- Aouine was supported by Wind Elf and its strength was building. The navy, which is not even as good as the local fleet, cannot be called a real fleet at all, but a child's toy forget it/that's all. As port officers of the empire, they were more or less affected by this thinking, and they ignored the worthless fleet directly.
"That's also called the fleet? A group of unfamiliar dry ducks!" He cursed secretly in his heart, but he also understood that the other's identity was higher than himself, after all, he didn't dare to say this, and only sneered: " Since everyone knows that it is the fleet of the Aouine royal family, it is difficult to say whether the Lord Count can be transferred. If I remember correctly, the Lord Count is neither the royal family member. It is not an extraordinary ambassador, but it is just an envoy. Take a step back 10,000 steps. Even if he can mobilize this fleet, it is different from most people's imagination. In fact, floating battleship itself does not have the transmission ability. The transmission of the fleet depends on the wizard in the fleet and the pre-arranged The large Teleportation Gate is uniquely dependent on the Holy Cathedral empire. But I don't think Aouinian has this capital. "
Although these local officials are inferior to the majority of those who escaped noble, they are familiar with it. After all, their understanding of port affairs and even maritime affairs is much greater than that of other people present. This port official said so. Other people present were for a moment No reason for refutation could be found. Indeed, although Aouinian has a fleet. But that ’s the only fleet in that little kingdom. Let ’s not say whether Brando is eligible for arbitrary transfer. Even if it is eligible for transfer, the distance from Aouine to Leeuwin is more than thousands of miles away, and the fleet must be transported so far. Place, does Aouinian have this ability?
At least in the eyes of most Kirrlutzian, Aouinian is definitely not capable of this.
Although they have to admit that the young Aouine Count is better than them at the moment, it is only an individual after all. It is not surprising that one or two geniuses may be born in a kingdom, not to mention Sword Saint Darus. The examples are there, and it is not unacceptable for these empires noble. However, the fleet is different. The comparison of the naval strength between the two countries shows the difference in comprehensive strength between the two countries. Obviously, it cannot be changed by one or two geniuses. The gap between the Aouine kingdom and the empire, then It's obvious.
Even if the empire wants to transport a local fleet to a distance as far as Aouine, it is necessary to arrange magic formation in advance, and even enable the flames of fire, and it can be done by consuming a lot of materials and energy. With these things swaggering the market, unless they were prepared to attack the imperial capital from the beginning?
However, in the presence of noble, this is obviously impossible.
The port official saw other people's faces getting worse, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. -- Although Brando can't change a fleet out of thin air, he probably can't run away in this port himself, but he was full of expectations from other people at the beginning. Different, he never thought that the Aouinian had this ability, only when the other party was a liar scammer forget it/that's all. At this moment, he can step on the opponent's two feet, and he is naturally very happy, so he continues to say: "This may disappoint everyone who is present. If you want to teleport the fleet to any one without preparation, Place, I'm afraid the Empire can't do it, let alone the Aouinian. "
He said this, the presence of noble could not help feeling even lower. After all, no matter how Kirrlutzian thinks that Brando is capable, it will never admit that even the Empire can't do it. Aouinian is capable of --. After all, this is not a competition between one or two people, but a comparison of national strength. After all, even people who have confidence in Aouine are still afraid to say such ridiculous words that Aouine is stronger than Kirrlutz Empire.
The port official thinks so too. He obviously felt that this sentence was the conclusion of already. There would never be any miracles, but under such circumstances as Correct, a calm voice came from the crowd and asked: "What do you mean Say, in fact, it can still be done, but the Empire cannot do it? "
Hear this question. The port official couldn't help but jump around and immediately looked angrily in that direction. He wanted to see who was so clueless: the Empire couldn't, Aouinian could do it? This is simply heaven and earth! But he only looked up. First, he saw Kui's Knight uniform, and then his gaze led to the simple badge on the chest of the black-haired youngster. "Royal Knight?" He almost thought he was wrong. I couldn't help wiping my eyes, only to find that my question was really a genuine Royal Knight. Although he was arrogant, he was not a fool. He knew that most of the royal Knight traveling in the local area were the identity of the inner court Knight. After his face changed for a while, he recklessly replied: "That is only theoretical. Possibility, unless there are countless wizards that provide energy to this fleet, and perform spell transmission ... The number of wizards needed to do this, I am afraid that even if all wizard of the entire Aouine are assembled, it is far from enough.
What he meant was actually a death sentence for Brando's swearing-in pledge. The minds of all the talents who have just been raised at the moment can't help but sink deeply. Everyone can't help subconsciously raises head. Looking at the gloomy and immutable sky, there is still no movement between High Tower. Is that Lord Count a liar or a creator miracle. It seems to be revealed soon.
...
"Did you see it?"
Wallas stared gloomily at the horizon and nodded, standing on the top of the tower of the airport, his already can see a shadow floating in the sky in the direction of the plain, which is the Dragon beast group. "Pegasus Knights already is about to take off, but ... I'm afraid it's useless. Unless it's Griffin Knight legion of the border guard legion, I'm afraid it won't be delayed for a long time ..." He replied to Marjorie a bit --. Not long ago, Brando Send this young NCO to negotiate with him.
After finishing Wallas, he could n’t help but take another look at the direction of Hengqiao. As the person in charge of the port, he is different from those short-sighted officials below. After all, he can see what these Aouine's wizard are doing. These wizard and apprentice wizard are really In maintenance port -- instead of pretending. For a while, even he almost believed it, or the Lord Count could really transform into a fleet, otherwise it would not be able to explain what the other party did with these useless efforts.
But the problem is that, just like the port officials below, even if he wants to break his head, he can't think of how Brando dispatched the royal family fleet of Aouine to this place.
"Mr. Marjorie," he could not help but asked a little harder: "Do you really think your Commander can mobilize the Aouine royal family fleet to this place ... I mean, we don't have much time already? "
Marjorie listened to this sentence, and his eyes recovered from the horizon. He looked at the old guy with a strange look and replied, "When did I tell you that the Aouine royal family fleet will come here? I am the fleet NCO, I can tell you clearly that Lord Count is not qualified to mobilize the royal fleet. "
“Ah？ "Wallas was almost stunned. He stared at the latter with a stunned look and asked," What are you doing here! " ? "
Marjorie shook his head calmly: "I don't know, but Lord Count has his own ideas. As soldier, I just need to obey the order."
Wallas almost heard this, and their only hope was that Brando could mobilize the royal family fleet of Aouine here. That ’s it, in his eyes, it ’s a miracle. Something happened, and now the young NCO calmly told him that their Lord Count might really change a fleet for them out of thin air. The question is Martha above. Is such a thing possible existence?
Wallas Viscount just thinks that even if the sun hits the west, such things may not happen.
He stared at Marjorie with a stunned expression. After a dizziness, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly turned towards Brando, shouting angrily: "Mr. Brando, you have to give me an explanation!"
Only he didn't take two steps, he was stopped by a figure, stopped his Correct Ciel, the latter smiled slightly: "Lord Viscount, don't worry, Lord Thane is contacting Aouine, we have some trouble, But believe me, lord, he won't let you down. "
"You guys ..." Wallace was so desperate that he couldn't help but answer: "Okay, I'll see how you guys change a fleet, **** Aouinian!"
Ciel heard the words, just shrugged slightly.
But he did not lie, and Brando did have some trouble at the moment.
Trouble comes from Buga human --
...
"Ms. Tania, I don't quite understand what you mean." Brando stared at the figure on the palm of his hand, and replied angrily: "what exactly do you want to say."
"My meaning is simple, you guys, you know, those guys on the upper level of silver don't like to play cards according to common sense. I just want to remind you, don't be too surprised by forget it/that's all." Tania seems like The plain water replied lightly.
"I don't care how you deal, as long as we complete our transaction as promised."
"Is that so?"
Tania After saying this, I couldn't help turning subconsciously back and looking out the window strangely.
There, outside the airport bridge of Valhalla, and even all the subjects in the entire Fir Tree Shire, you can see the eastern sky flashing silver light piece by piece, and one piece of Air Ship flashing from the light, parked in the air Medium, but in an instant, it occupied most of the sky. Next, more dense light spots flickered. After the each light spots disappeared, a wizard wearing a silver gown was left. Within minutes, Valhalla was covered with countless such wizard.
