Chapter 2725 A hundred years of loneliness (twenty-two)

It is a very dangerous thing for a ship to move forward in the dark. Because there are many invisible undercurrents and reefs near the archipelago, which may pose a threat to navigation.

However, there are precise nautical charts (as expected from the Holy See!) on board, marking all possible currents and reefs around the Tuscan Islands. Arthur only lit a very dark oil lamp, sailed according to the chart, avoided particularly large and small, and populated islands, and chose an uninhabited small and medium-sized island with a wide field of vision and a ring structure to dock.

He soon moored the boat he had snatched from the Holy See knights on the crescent-shaped sandy beach, using the surrounding natural cliffs as cover to cleverly hide the sailboat.

"Finally docked." Seeing Uncle Zuster dropping the anchor, Verne breathed a sigh of relief: "You can have a good night's rest!"

"No, you can't sleep." The knight said.

"Huh? But I'm so sleepy------"

"Grit your teeth and be patient, and I'll let you get enough sleep tomorrow. ------ Everyone come over here." Kill homing pigeons and owls mercilessly in cages.

After people approached, he asked, "Do you know why there are two birds, a carrier pigeon and an owl, on this boat?"

"There are two types of mail delivery, day delivery and night delivery." Joey Zuster replied with a smile.

"Correct." Arthur said: "Pigeons will fly like blind men after entering the dark. Unless they have received long-term professional training, they do not have the ability to fly at night. Therefore, owls are prepared on this ship for use Night communication."

"Is this necessary?" asked the witch Belletta: "The Vatican is less than a two-day flight from here, and pigeons can fly faster. Unless there is an emergency military situation, birds that don't need to fly at night are ready to fly. right?"

"What if they're not going to let the owl fly to the Vatican at all?" Arthur asked.

Beyonce narrowed her eyes thoughtfully: "You want to say that the church has its own [posting station] on this Tuscan archipelago, where you can send and receive messages?"

"That's right. And they probably already know our whereabouts."

"But, how? We obviously wiped out their fleet, and they did nothing?"

"It was because they didn't do anything that we revealed their whereabouts." The King of Knights replied: "The fleet should have received orders like this, [with doves or owls to the post at regular intervals] Report peace]. Judging from the flight speed of these birds, this interval is probably every few hours. But we wiped out the Holy See fleet, and they didn't have time to bring peace to the inn. What do you think will happen next? What happened?"

"[Inn] will send a larger fleet to encircle us." Belle Tower said coldly: "Damn. Has it been calculated?"

"It has to be calculated from the beginning -- assuming it all holds true." Arthur said: "That's why I was in a hurry to sail and leave Bastia first. But, Although they planned to besiege us, they did not expect that we would be able to defeat the members of the Knights of the Pope and the Holy See Crusaders so quickly, and seized the ship and left Corsica. Their fleet is now rushing to Corsica at full speed, It is estimated that it will pass by our small island soon."

"Oh!" Johnny Zuster suddenly realized: "So as long as we keep a low profile, we can pass them by and avoid fighting."

Arthur shook his head and smiled: "On the contrary. As long as we keep a low profile, tonight is the time of the hunt. We can destroy a large number of the Holy See's fleet and bury several Pope's knights at the bottom of the sea. They thought they could lay traps against us, but Unexpectedly, our ability far exceeded their imagination, and the hunter became the prey instead."

Hearing Arthur say this, everyone suddenly became excited.

"How exactly?" Belleta asked.

"No, you can't do anything, you better go to rest. Only Bedi and Verne are in charge of the hunt tonight."

"What?" "Wow?" The child and the wolf cried almost simultaneously.

"Verne, you climb up to the high ground over there, and arrange the [Legion---Spear Array]. When you see a fleet passing by, when you reach the range, reward each boat with a few arrows. , hit the belly of the ship. The large crossbow arrows of the [Gun Formation] are enough to scuttle the ship, and as long as you play properly, you will definitely win."

"...Is it really going so well?"

"Those idiot knights are wearing full heavy armor, and they can't escape. Once the ship sinks, they are either swept into the sea bottom by the vortex caused by the sinking, or suffocated by the weight of their armor. Dead. They didn't save them anyway." Arthur said: "This island is quite far away from other islands. If anyone near the sunken ship puts down a boat and intends to escape, it must be approaching this island. Sinking that kind of boat is just a One shot of a crossbow arrow. Those boats are full of heinous bad guys, even if the sailors are complicit, don't be condoned, they must kill them all."

"Okay." Verne nodded.

"Speaking of which," Arthur turned his head and asked Bayoretta again: "If Bedi's [Fenrir] was transformed from the ancient [Worg Golem], its Mobility should be high enough to travel on water, right?"

The witch pondered for a while, "The detailed situation must be asked to the chief. But in theory, yes, its performance has not deteriorated due to the modification."

"Then Brady is responsible for the surrounding vigilance. If there is a ship that Verne failed to sink, your [Legion---Wolf King] will scuttle it. It is useless to chase deeply, just get the ship Shen is enough, understand?"

"Wow!" The big white wolf roared in response.

"If my predictions are correct, there will be at least ten or more ships passing through this area tonight. The goal is to wipe out these fleets without fail. Can you do that?"

"Of course!""Wow!"

"Then let's act." The King of Knights jumped off the boat and landed on the beach lightly: "Also, don't make fire at will, and we must not let our position be exposed. The first strike of the sneak attack is very important, which determines the Can Erna sink the opponent's ship quickly and accurately."

"Wouldn't that be freezing all night?" Verne shuddered.

"Thick blankets and hot drinks will be prepared for you," Arthur said, and began to prepare. He tried to find a cave to hide the firelight, and he did find it—it was actually a wide gap between the cliffs.

The king of knights piled some stones on the exposed side of the crack to cover the light, and soon set up a bonfire in the space inside the crack. Most of the flames and the fumes were so tightly concealed that they were barely visible from a distance.

"I have a question." When Arthur was boiling the fish, Belleta leaned over and asked, "The Pope Knight can summon those black demons, and even if they are killed, they will still run out of them. Attack us. What should we do then?"

"They won't," said the King of Knights.

"...are you sure?"

" That's a technique for summoning spirits, and it's not complete. That's why you ivory tower people can make weapons against them. If I'm not mistaken, the summoned spirits must be summoned by the summoner Influence, the summoner cannot reach a certain distance."

"So, if a certain Pope's knight is buried at the bottom of the sea far away from this island------"

"Even if their spirits can be summoned, the spirits can only stay near the body of the knight at the bottom of the sea forever. No matter how much they show their teeth and claws, they can't threaten us on the island." A smile: "This is the weakness of the Pope's Knights. They are afraid of naval battles."

"I hope your theories are not wrong," Belletta said worriedly.

"Whether it is correct or not will be verified immediately." Arthur smiled confidently: "Even if there is a difference between theory and practice, it is always a good thing to be able to eliminate a large number of Pope knights in one go."

"Yes, I couldn't agree more." The witch unceremoniously picked up a freshly grilled fish and ate it herself.

"There's sea salt and pepper, my beautiful lady." Johnny Zust handed Belletta two well-sealed bottles of seasoning.

Arthur frowned: "You actually carry this kind of thing with you, isn't it heavy?"

"Because, I can't eat food without seasoning." Johnny said, sprinkled salt on the grilled fish, and prepared another skewer of salted grilled fish for his son.

"Dad is very particular about this (persistence), don't worry about it." Joey smiled wryly.

"The boy and the wolf have to stay out all night, won't they be exhausted tomorrow? What if we encounter another fleet of the Holy See in the middle?" Belletta asked again.

"Don't worry about Brady's words, his stamina is very good." Arthur mentioned the boiled water, "Tomorrow it will be a ship of the Holy See, and try to avoid fighting as much as possible. If it is still inevitable, go full speed. Hit it and fight head-to-head with boarding. Both my [Winged Angel] and your [Black Witch] are competent, and naval battles do not necessarily require [gun formations]."

"We can help operate the ship's guns." Johnny Zuster also said, "As long as you don't see your face, right?"

"Probably." Arthur walked out with grilled fish and hot water to find Verne and Bedivere who were guarding the cliff.

"Oh~" Sitting cross-legged on the open platform on the cliff, the teenager yawned, actually a little sleepy.

"If you want to sleep, you can take a nap." Arthur came over with hot water and grilled fish, and brought a thick animal wool blanket to Verne: "Beddy's night vision is also very good, he does Just be vigilant, it will wake you up if there is movement."

"It's not too sleepy now." Verne replied, taking a bite of the grilled fish: "Lord Aslan, is the church really that heinous?"

"If the speculation is true, they really caused the whole of Corsica to suffer from the Black Death in order to encircle us, then yes, these people are unforgivable." Arthur replied: "You will see tonight. Answer. The larger the fleet passing through here, the greater the darkness within the church."

"...Then I sincerely hope that no ships will pass through this sea tonight." Verna grunted.

"You pity the enemy?" The King of Knights was a little unhappy.

"No...I just...well, think even a church must have good and bad people inside, right?"

"Yes. But what appeared in front of us this time must be related to the Black Death. Even if this group of people are not purely bad people, they are also accomplices of bad people. This kind of person is not worthy of pity."

"You may be right..."

"In my time," King Arthur said suddenly, "turmoil, famine, tyranny, and death were rampant. In such a dark world, children of knightly families would receive severe combat training from the time they were sensible, and were forced to I started killing enemies when I was young. I killed people when I was six years old, and I couldn't count on ten fingers. When I was your age, there were already mountains of corpses behind me.

But I've never regretted everyone I killed~IndoMTL.com~ I know I'm never a righteous man, but I never force myself to kill someone I shouldn't.

Everyone I killed was either something I hated from the bottom of my heart, or stood in my way, or the world would be a better place without such a person. Either way, I found meaning in defeating them.

------I kill, therefore I am. "

After listening to Arthur's words, Verne fell silent, while Bedivere, who was lying on the side pretending to sleep, moved his ears.

Then Verne seemed to have discovered something, and pointed to the far northeast with a slightly trembling finger: "Master Aslan...you are right, the church is really not innocent."

"How much?" Arthur turned to look, but with his eyesight he could only see some black spots the size of sesame seeds on the sea level.

"Twelve... no, twenty-one! It's a large fleet!" Verne exclaimed.
