Chapter 185: The Rise of the North Island Forces

The name "Twilight Harbor" has been around for as early as 150 years, but the irony is that only a handful of fishing boats have sailed from here for such a long time.

Fortunately, the establishment of the Kingdom of Twilight changed all that completely.

In the early hours of the morning when the winter snow was falling, Morgan commanded his people to move the grain and goods purchased by the Southern Empire from the bottom warehouse of the cargo ship to the wooden stacks in the port.

Facing the slightly fishy sea breeze, Morgan raised his head and looked around the port of Dusk.

The northernmost seafront building is a shipyard built by the people of the North Island and the kingdom.

Boats are the most expensive possession of the North Islanders, and boat builders are a sacred and noble profession in the North Island.

The construction of a ship begins with the guidance of the gods from the shipbuilder to the priest, and then he goes alone into the mountains and dense forests to select the revealed sacred trees, and finally spends a whole year carving and completing the work.

The decision to bring the shipbuilding skills of the North Island to the Kingdom of Twilight was originally opposed by the elders of the Blackskull tribe, but Morgan overrode the crowd and led to the construction of the shipyard.

In return, Todd handed over one-third of the maritime trade and transportation work of the Twilight Kingdom to the Blackskull Clan.

Further south, is the main part of the port area, with plank roads and berths evenly distributed on the shore, where two three-sail merchant ships from the Abbasid Empire and seven cargo ships from the North Island are smoothly parked in the ice-free harbor of the twilight.

Morgan counted the goods, and after confirming that it was correct, patted the snow on his body, climbed the ramp, and walked towards the inner city of the kingdom.

Due to heavy snowfall, the shipping route to the North Island was temporarily closed, and Morgan had to stay in Twilight until the beginning of spring. In fact, he was not disgusted by not being able to go home in the New Year, compared to the backward and harsh village environment of the North Island, the Twilight West City, with its food, good wine, theater, fighting, and women, was the love of the young patriarch.

There were no more than 200 North Islanders living in the Twilight Kingdom, and all of them lived in the northern part of the royal city, where there was a cement longhouse with the North Island architectural style. Few people are willing to move out of the gathering area and live in the city, and the reason is simple, it is not easy to eliminate the scars and estrangements left by the defense of the twilight.

Before he could enter the gate of the gathering area, Morgan heard the sound of fierce fighting and wailing from inside.

As if accustomed to the movement, Morgan pushed open the door and stepped inside.

A North Island warrior holding a broken wooden shield fell hard at his feet with his butt facing backwards.

The Valkyrie leader, Brünnhilde, waved her fists and shouted at the soldiers around her who were cowering: "You are a bunch of slow chickens!

When Morgan heard this, he subconsciously touched his belly, the circle of fat that replaced his abdominal muscles, and involuntarily lowered his head, choosing to bypass the Valkyrie.

Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes.

"Morgan!"

Brunhilde interrupted the wooden stake beside him with a punch, and confronted the Blackhead Patriarch, "Is there a reply to what I asked you to ask?!"

Morgan nodded hurriedly and said, "I have already submitted an application to Lord Cumberland, the commander of the kingdom, that we want to participate in the war, but unfortunately, ......"

Valkyrie's eyes narrowed: "What is a pity?!"

"Your Majesty has not agreed. ”

Blonnhilde was indignant, kicked the wood in front of him, put two fingers in his mouth, and with a snap, a white steed galloped in front of her.

Watching as Valkyrie turned over and got on her horse, she turned her horse's head and drove out the door. Morgan was in a hurry, rushed to the horse with an arrow, and shouted, "Lord Valkyrie, where are you going?!"

"The king did not think of us when he went out to plunder, and he did not think of us when he attacked the mines. If this continues, without the nourishment of war, you will eventually become a bunch of useless waste!" Brünnhilde patted his mount's mane, and the steed man stood up, frightening Morgan to step aside.

Brünnhilde rode out of the camp and threw a word in the crowd: "Get out of here, you seedless soft-bastard! I will now let the king fulfill the promise he made to me!"

Headquarters of the Order, Council Hall.

"By May next year, the royal city will be half built. At that time, His Majesty will be able to move over. Monk Jo tightened his neckline and drew closer to the stove.

Todd, who was sitting on the throne, shook his head: "I still prefer this place to the empty royal city. ”

Cumberland looked at the tactical map on the table, and when he heard this, he wanted to persuade him to say, "This is not in accordance with etiquette", but looking at the king sitting alone on the high place, he finally chose to remain silent.

Jemuro stood beside Richel, changed into a new outfit, and the confinement of his left hand was removed.

He followed the gaze of the people around him and looked at the two people in the center of the long table, a young woman with a beautiful face, and a middle-aged man with an elegant and calm face, who were reporting to Todd on the progress of the construction of the cathedral.

If memory serves, the woman's name seems to be Mary, and the man's name is Elijah.

Jemro touched his chin and smiled softly.

"The frame structure of the church has been erected, a total of 83 support columns have been used, and the heavy wind and snow in recent days have allowed the workshop to rush to make a batch of reed grass covers, as well as ......"

Listening to Mary's introduction, Todd nodded slightly, a woman with the ability of "Super Memory" has a unique talent in data recording. What would normally take dozens of people to memorize, she only needs five minutes to memorize. If this ability can be replicated, then the entire Twilight Kingdom can develop rapidly in terms of productivity and scientific research, but unfortunately, the "Super Memory" ability is not a bacterial ability, nor is it a parasite ability, and like Rachel and Karin, this is a hereditary ability that cannot be replicated, and can only be inherited by parentage.

After Mary had finished speaking, Elijah continued: "Your Majesty, at our invitation, a group of scholars from the province of the Holy Land (to the Orthodox Diocese) arrived in Twilight City yesterday evening, and their expertise covers a wide range of subjects. Many of them are very interested in your new "patent law" and hope to get your permission to meet you. ”

Rachel put the thumb of her right hand to her lips, her teeth grinding lightly against the nails of her thumb, and there was no expression on her face.

Todd thought about it, and it didn't seem like a bad thing to see it, but just as he was about to speak, there was a commotion at the door of the headquarters.

Huggins, who was in charge of security, frowned, grabbed one of the guards beside him, and whispered, "Go see what's going on?!"

After the guards went for a while, they ran back in a panic: "Your Majesty, there is a woman who calls herself Brunhilde, who says she wants to see you. ”

Todd was stunned.

Huggins scolded, "Don't you see a meeting going on?"

The guard gave the commander a smile that was worse than crying: "The guards outside the door don't seem to be able to stop her......"

"What?!" Huggingston's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "Four knights, plus twelve sergeants, and half a wing of infantry, can't stop a woman?!"

Todd stood up from his throne and patted Huggins on the shoulder: "Let's go out and see what's going on, and the meeting will take a break for a while." ”

The crowd in the council hall followed the king to the main square of the Knights' headquarters and saw a scene that made people stunned.

Four heavily armed 'Inheritor' knights, surrounded by a Valkyrie warrior wearing a feathered crown, took turns attacking, but they didn't have any upper hand.

This woman from the North Island, who serves the gods, is like a butterfly shuttling among the flowers under the attack of the four people, avoiding every attack without giving a beat, but she can attack the enemy's weakness without any difference.

One of the knights raised his sword and slashed at Brünnhilde's arm, who only turned sideways slightly, the blade slashing into the air along the tip of her nose. Valkyrie raised her elbow slightly, and then half a second of dislocation, an elbow struck the knight's neck at the junction of the helmet and plate armor, just avoiding the protection of the "keel". Under this heavy blow, even the inheritors who had "pain resistance" and "regeneration" were unable to recover from kneeling on the ground for a long time because of poor qi and blood and lack of oxygen in the brain.

Another knight, armed with a two-handed sword, raised his sword flat and stabbed it towards Valkyrie's face. Brünnhilde untied the spear behind his back, and after playing with the spear, he actually pressed the tip of the spear against the blade of the sword, and swung away the attack. Then she swung her spear and struck the knight in the knee, forcing him to stand unsteady and fall to the ground.

In just a few breaths, four Inheritor knights were knocked to the ground by Brünnhilde, and she looked like she hadn't done her best.

Huggins' eyes widened, and he muttered, "Heavenly Father!
