Power and Empire Chapter 1682: Road to War (8)

The fleet bypassed the cliff in front, and a semi-curved beach appeared in front of Fatty’s eyes. The scheduled landing point arrived. This is a coastline 40 miles away from the target of this trip in the Nastar area. There is no port here. Moreover, there was an old lighthouse on the cliff. Since no one took control of Putao, this lighthouse was abandoned because of no one. Only a half-collapsed old tower foundation can be seen standing on the top of the cliff. , The sun shines on this dilapidated old lighthouse, dragging out a long and lonely shadow

From a strategic point of view, this place is not suitable for real landing operations. It is located in a saline-alkali land with no clean water source, and there is no village where a guide can be found. It is no wonder that Gang Fei will not pay attention to this place

Although the Principality of Phu Tau is not large, the third of the four areas are all bordered by the sea. The coastline is more than 700 meters long. It is like a sausage stretched in both north and south directions. It is impossible for Gangfei people to completely guard the entire coastline. In the case of a weak navy, it is normal to choose to abandon part of the unimportant coastline in exchange for an advantage in the buildup of forces. Since the outbreak of the Battle of Lisbon, the Congolese and African troops in the Utau area have fully committed to Lisbon. Even a squadron of non-infantry soldiers near this area opened to Lisbon half a month ago.

The fleet soon divided into two. With the fleet’s flagships, the two Dragonya warships began to turn, and a U-shaped white turning line was dragged out of the sea. The bow deviated and accelerated towards the half-curved beach, and the sails immediately Blowed by the sea breeze, dozens of other Dragon Tooth battleships lowered their sails, lined up on the quiet sea. At this moment, the deck was full of sailors standing upright. Everyone’s eyes were It moves as the third battleship moves after the two previous Dragon Tooth battleships that opened their way,

Everyone's eyes are hot like a volcano, staring at a fat figure standing at the bow of the ship, like a strong benchmark. The black hair and the blood of the sailors are boiling, although it is just a figure from the back, it is enough to make all the empire sailors feel honored! I don’t know who shouted first, followed by the sound of overwhelming mountains. All the soldiers standing on the deck raised their right hands on their chests, shouting long live the empire, long live the emperor!

"Slap"

The huge bow of the battleship was pushed forward by the raging waves, as if being rolled up by the waves. Then he pushed it out suddenly, the white waterline behind the hull, at this moment, was like a huge sharp blade, shaving the blue sea abruptly, and the battleship rushed directly toward the salt-alkali land on the sea.

"Wait, the impact will be very violent. Please hold on to it!" Du Stellenkai reminded loudly beside him, pulling a rope from the deck and handing it to the fat man.

"I can't use it!" The fat man smiled slightly, and put his right hand casually on the side of the ship.

"Your Majesty, how can this be done! Please use the rope to help your waist!" Dusterenkai was a little anxious. The battleship rushed to the beach. It was a powerful impact. Even if the God of War is alive, it is not Perhaps under such an impact, as his Majesty Falcon was so casual, just when he wanted to continue to persuade, his feet shook. The battleship has been like a wild horse that has lost control, suddenly rushing to the beach in front of him,

Slap! Snapped! Snapped! The beach was squeezed by the heavy hull and burst open. A wave of shaking of the mountain also spread to the deck, although the sailors on the deck helped their waist with ropes, or fixed themselves with a fixed object, and the sailors rolled over in a wave of tossing. One piece, the scene is extremely chaotic!

Du Stellenkai was still talking, caught off guard, and flew towards the bow of the ship. If it weren't for a strong palm, pulling him like lightning, he might become the history of the empire. In fact, even in the entire continent’s history, the first naval commander who fell from the bow of the ship because he commanded a battleship to wash up on the beach, Dusterenkai looked at the palm that saved his life in fear. Master, it turned out to be Your Majesty Falcon who doesn’t even have a rope,

"Thanks your majesty for your help!"

Du Stellenkai knelt gratefully, swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty in his throat, but his heart was shocked! Although he has long heard of His Majesty Falcon’s extremely tyrannical martial arts, it has reached the point that all the warriors dare not look up, but it is a rumor from the army after all, and there is no basis for textual research.

The entire continent of Ikadiva knows that the Vickia Falcon is unparalleled in wisdom, sweeping across thousands of troops! However, there are few comments on the level of his personal martial arts. In fact, the probability of his Majesty Falcon’s direct shot is very low during the war. What's more, according to His Majesty Falcon’s prestige, he will not be shot without absolute certainty. Therefore, even if the rumors of the army are exaggerated, it is normal that a powerful monarch with invincible intelligence and strength is obviously more able to arouse the courage and confidence of the soldiers below to fight.

At this moment, Dusterenkai felt a tingling scalp and his hair standing upright, not only because his majesty Falcon held his entire weight with one hand, but also because he saw his majesty Falcon just now Hold the position of the ship’s gunwale, and you can clearly see the traces of the five fingers sinking into the board of the ship’s gunwale,

My God!

Du Stellenkai's mouth is slightly open, his eyes are full of shock that cannot be concealed,

He could not find any words that could express his thoughts at this time. As the head of the navy, he knew very well that these woods that could be used to make battleships were all first-class hard, even some. Hard to cut with a sharp sword, but under the fingers of His Majesty Falcon, these hard masterbatches, which can resist even the impact of enemy weapons, are as soft as battered dough. No wonder those army generals When we mention the personal force of His Majesty Falcon, it is like seeing a ghost. This is no longer a human being, even if the God of War is alive.

The fat man was not in the mood to care about the thoughts of the Secretary of the Navy. He was still thinking about the arrangements for the visit to Ninestar. Through the private information provided by the Duke of Putou, a Ninestar noble named Antur was in control Information on the place where the Robles family is imprisoned,

According to the Duke of Putao, it was the nobleman who claimed to be Antur at the beginning. He found himself in private and said that he asked for 10,000 gold coins as a reward. Only then was he willing to tell the Duke of Putao the specific location. Out of caution, The Duke of Pu Tao refused the request of the voluntarily approaching Antuer. He was afraid that Gangfei would test himself again. He had had similar experiences several times before, and there were always some Pu Tao who expressed loyalty to himself. The nobles came secretly, but most of them. They are all insiders arranged by Gang Fei people around him!

Difficulty, monitoring at all levels

The Duke of Putao has become accustomed to looking suspiciously at anyone close to him, until the Ninestar nobleman came to his house for the third time and brought with him a emblem of the Burrows family, Putao The Duke finally accepted his words, because this emblem of the Burrows family is not the usual sun pattern used by the Burrows family, but the spinnaker wing used by the Burrows family to issue complaints and ask for help. Heraldry, this rare heraldry. It shouldn't be in the list that Gang Fei is familiar with!

"Okay, get up, tidy up, let's get off the boat!"

The fat man squeezed his right hand, and a metal chill came from the palm of his hand. It was the spinnaker wing coat of arms bought by the Duke of Putao for 10,000 gold coins. The Duke of Putao had an agreement with that Antur, whether it was Whoever holds this coat of arms, Antur must inform the visitor of the place where the Burrows family was imprisoned.

I looked at the half-inclined side of the ship's side, because the impact was very strong, and today's wind was stronger than usual, and the battleship washed up on the beach. Directly plowing on the beach, there was a deep mark of more than 20 meters long that had covered the bottom of the ship's first position. "Papa" the baffle of the battleship was lowered, and the two teams of cavalry dressed as mercenaries each with ten men. First came down from the docked battleship. The two cavalry teams wandered around for a while, and then raised their hands to signal that there was no abnormality.

The horse hoof stepped on the hard frozen ground, and the fat man slowly descended from the baffle on his horse, his eyes swept across the vast wilderness covered with white snow on both sides, his eyes flashed with a faint chill. This time there were only 20 people in the group. Fatty and Dusterenkai were merchants and accountants, and the others were mercenaries. Four carriages full of groceries were driven down from the battleship, and the team dressed as caravans began to move towards Nath. Drove into the Da area, 40 miles away, in the afternoon, the fat man arrived at Ninestar City

As night fell, the fat man sat in a warm tavern in casual clothes, watching the snow drifting on the empty street through the glass window,

Du Stellenkai sat cautiously next to him, and his eyes carefully glanced at the blue face of His Majesty Falcon. The fat man is waiting. It is not easy to find a stranger in this small city with a population of 30,000. Fortunately, the Duke of Putao mentioned the agreement with this Antur. The graphic is drawn on the exterior wall of this Jianlangtu tavern, and this Antuer will appear on his own. The fat man drew a five-pointed icon on the exterior wall as agreed, and has been sitting here for two days.

Unfortunately, the Antuer did not appear, which made the fat man feel a little anxious. He was playing with the badge as a token in his hand. The fat man looked at the snowy long street outside the glass window and was silent. A vague murderous intent flashed in his eyes

"Your Majesty, do we need to use the power of the underground forces!" Dustellenkai cautiously whispered, "If you want to find locals, you should rely on these local snakes to be more appropriate."

"Underground forces!"The fat man was silent for a while, and finally nodded." It is too difficult to find someone in such an unfamiliar environment. It is not a way to consume it like this, but to find underground forces, I’m afraid it’s not that easy."

"You can rest assured!" Du Stellenkai stood up from his seat and said with a smile. "Among the guards accompanying him, one of the guards came from the background of underground forces. Although the country is different, the mainland Different, but the habits of the underground forces are still roughly the same, so I will arrange the contact!"

"Quickly go back!" The fat man raised his glass, and his whole body was shocked. The wine in his hand was spilled out, his eyes fixed on the long street outside the window. Du Stellenkai immediately looked at him consciously, following the direction of the fat man's line of sight, there was no one on the long street.

"What's wrong?"

The fat man's eyes were a little disbelief, and when he turned around, he looked weird, "I saw a person on the corner of the street just now."

"Who is it?" Dusterenkai asked curiously

"I don’t know, but she gestured to me with a five-pointed star!" The fat man stood up solemnly, and said condensedly, "Obviously, the other party has observed us for two days, otherwise it won’t happen now. Body, go out now, the other party shouldn’t have gone far yet!"

In a short while, Fatty and Dusterenkai stopped at a street corner on the oblique outside the tavern

From here, you can see the place where Fatty was sitting just now. Fatty smiled. "That person was here just now." He pointed his finger at the underground footprint, and the footprint spread all the way to the opposite street, behind the snow. The street was trampled on, muddy snow and mud mixed. Where can I find a person's footprint?

"Go over there, I'll go over here, and look for it separately." The fat man raised his head unwillingly and looked at the sides of the street. "The other party wears a hood to cover his head and face, but on the cuffs There is this red triangle mark, you should be able to recognize it at a glance. If you find anything, even if you do it, you must keep this person!"

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Dusterenkai simply responded, since he has seen the martial arts of His Majesty Falcon with his own eyes. He no longer thinks that there is anyone who can pose a threat to His Majesty, unless the other party calls in the army!

The fat man headed north and Dustellenkai headed south. The fat man felt strange. Why did that Antuer disappear without a trace in less than a few minutes? After walking along the long street for a while, the fat man found a secluded place, jumped onto the roof of the house on the roadside, and stood on the snow-filled roof condescendingly and observing all directions.

There is no shadow of that person in the surrounding streets. The fat man got out of a roof unwillingly. Jumped onto the other roof, still not, just when he felt discouraged and was about to turn around and return. The fat man's sharp gaze suddenly stopped, and suddenly he saw a person walking down in the opposite alley, looking at his graceful figure. She should be a young woman, except she didn't wear a hood, everything else was the same as she had just seen. And there is a dark red triangle mark on the cuffs of this young woman.

"Miss in front, please stop! I have something to ask." The fat man jumped down without hesitation and ran towards the opposite street, still shouting, but the woman did not stop. I didn’t even turn my head back, like I heard nothing

"This lady..."

The fat man crossed the street, and the anxious figure immediately turned into a phantom. He wanted to surpass this woman very fast. Since he met, he couldn't just let him go! At this moment, there was a soft "chi", a flash of light, a sharp stabbing sword suddenly appeared from the side, and it stabbed the fat man's face silently.

"I have no malice. If I scare the young lady, I am sorry!" The fat man has never seen any big winds and waves. In the eyes of others, this sword is fast, accurate, and ruthless. He already has very good strength, but In the eyes of the fat man, this cold light is almost harmless, except that it is more dazzling. It is really going to be on the battlefield, and it can be killed directly with a single knife.

Flicking the index finger of the wrist, there is a soft "ding",

The fat man’s fingers flicked like magic on the side of the stabbing sword, and the sharpest point of the stabbing sword swung away at once. The female swordsman turned pale, biting her lips, turning her wrists, and making another soft "chirp". This time, two stabbing swords appeared at the same time.

Sharp swordsmanship, vicious moves, condensing strong assaults

It can be seen that the fat man flicked the opponent's stabbing sword with one finger, and the female sword has already been killed by hand! It's just that this confident female swordsman only felt a flower in front of her eyes, and two stabbing swords pierced the void at the same time. The fat man with a light body like a civet cat disappeared magically!

"How is it possible!"

The female swordsman was stunned for a moment, her face full of disbelief, suddenly a icy chill was placed on the female swordsman’s white and delicate neck from behind, and a cold word exploded in her ear. "If yes I would never choose to look back! Otherwise, my hand would tremble and a beautiful head would fall to the ground like this! That would be a shame!"

The female swordsman stiffened all over her body. She really didn't dare to move. She could hear that there was a very cold-blooded guy behind. The other party could definitely do what she said, just as her own trick hit the air just now. , She has already realized that the other party is not at the same level as herself. The other party’s actions and gods are more like cats and mice,

The goddess of swordsman gritted her teeth and asked, "What do you want to do!"

"Tell me, where is Antur?" The fat man asked coldly, and a sharp short dagger that the female swordsman had just pulled out of her body was placed on the female swordsman's neck.

"Ann...Antur asked me to come here to tell you that the content of the transaction has changed!" The female swordsman's face changed, and her voice was a little frightened. She was really frightened by the fat man's weird body method. "The price is increased to 50,000 gold coins, otherwise, even if you kill me, you will not get the news you want!"

The fat man furrowed his eyebrows slightly. This answer was beyond his expectation. Fifty thousand gold coins are nothing~IndoMTL.com~ But the sudden change of the other party made him feel a little angry in his heart

At this moment, from the side of the street, three men and one woman walked out. One man and one woman had a pierced sword in their hands. The other two held their hands in their long sleeves. They could not see whether there were any weapons or not. A mysterious and unpredictable taste. The costumes of the four are different. They are all ordinary civilians. They are covered with a wind-proof hat, and their faces are hidden under the hat, and they can’t be seen clearly.

""Huh? "The woman carrying the sword let out an accident, her eyes fixed on the stiff female swordsman, and then she looked at a fat man dressed as a half businessman and half mercenary, suddenly there was a silver bell-like laughter from the corner of her mouth

"An Feijia, I didn’t expect you to have today. Why, are you going to accompany your traitor brother this time and be taken back to prison together? If this is the case, I will look forward to seeing you in three days. The sight of two brothers and sisters being beheaded together!"

"The bastard" saw the woman carrying the sword, the female swordsman known as An Feijia, suddenly became excited, and even hurled angrily in disregarding the sharp blade on her neck. "As the guard of the Burrows family" , Who can sell the Burrows family in a blink of an eye, what a group of ungrateful villains!"

"Guard of the Burrows family!" A glare burst out of Fatty's eyes (to be continued...)
