Chapter 14: The Land of Storms

The lords ate delicious food, drank wonderful mead, and played happily with the maids.

The whole banquet was held in a cheerful atmosphere, and everyone was full of anticipation for the next war.

At the banquet, Ackerman also tried to propose to Isabella in front of everyone, but the princess politely refused. The hall was filled with laughter, and Ackerman looked embarrassed, and at the same time he made up his mind that he would play a role in the war this time and prove it to everyone.

After the night of revelry, everyone returned to their residences one after another to rest and wait for the next battle plan to be deployed.

At the same time, inside the Blackstone Fort.

Taryn lost his temper at his subordinates, and Blanche was trembling with fright, how long has it been, you have no news at all, this is how you have information

"My lord, now the spies are getting more and more difficult to place, and the ancient Norslan language is fully implemented on the Norsland side, which can basically be distinguished at once, and there is really no news of Joe. The officer in charge of intelligence reported

"It's been so long, I haven't found your brother, look at the good things you've done" Taryn glared at Blanche fiercely

Blanche also felt deeply remorseful, her brother was not dead, it stands to reason that she should have seen Gravel.

A few months later, spring blossomed again, and winter had just passed, and the weather became lighter.

The armies of the various lords of the Kingdom of Norsland have been assembled, and they have set up camp in Byron Bay.

In the operational command tent, Gravel personally ordered the operational deployment. Except for some troops left behind, the elite of the kingdom were dispatched this time.

And, this time, it was personally conquered by the king. Although Isabella and Kaye also asked to fight, Gravel refused, leaving them in charge of the defense, as the enemy was also likely to take advantage of the situation.

This time, Gravel and the others did not choose to attack Blackstone Fort directly, which would outweigh the losses.

They thought of going south by ship to attack the Empire's economic capital, Purin Harbor, which was one of the few places in the Empire that was rich enough to fill the country.

The lord of Prim Harbor was Drag Aldridge, a contemporary of Theodon, and now an old man with only a handful of bones left.

March 2, 1501, the Moon of the Breeze

A mighty fleet sailed through the Singati Sea, bypassing the coastline of the Delman Empire and heading straight for Purin Harbor.

Lying on the hospital bed, Drager's right eye was always beating, and he was always flustered and felt that something big was going to happen recently.

Recently, my body has been getting weaker and weaker, and I have been lying in a hospital bed for three days.

Replacing Dragg at the helm of the Imperial town is Rear Admiral Nalland, who is a young man in the Imperial Navy and has a good personal relationship with Alonso.

But he is a bit conceited, he does have some talent, otherwise the empire would not have handed over the defense of the empire's economic capital to him.

He also invented one of his own, called the Narland Line, claiming that no one could attack Port Purin from the sea.

To say that this Narland defense line is indeed a bit powerful.

First of all, he had the Imperial warships connected with something special, making them look like a water base, and at the same time like a military fortress on the water, no ship could beat this behemoth.

Then, at the place of the port, he set up two towers at the mouth of a gorge, and under the water there were two huge iron chains, and no ship could enter the harbor as long as the iron chains were raised.

Not only that, but there are often Imperial airships patrolling the sky, and these airships have a lot of oil canisters and the like on them, which can detect and destroy enemies at the first time.

Even if this was not enough to stop the enemy, there was a strong walled fortress in Pulin Harbor, surrounded by various outposts, lookouts, fortresses, etc.

It can only be said that this line of defense is like a huge trap, if you can't shoot the prey, you will die.

It was also the invention that Narland was most proud of, and he was not afraid of any enemy at all.

In the city, Narland also has a large garrison, so the enemy will die when attacking by land and water.

On Gravel's side, their fleet is sailing on the endless seas.

The fleet consisted of three main forces, Gravell's fleet with black falcon sails on a white background, Horf's fleet with a golden bear on a purple background, and Bevman's fleet with two crossed black axe sails on a yellow background.

These longships in Northland are not very large but very nimble, and they can withstand the test of strong winds and waves.

Gravel himself even painted his face with a blue coat of vegetable dye, which was the blessing of the gods. Legend has it that the god of the north, Olugar, led his twelve warriors on the Norslan longship to any corner of the world, and won every battle.

After they left this mortal world, they spent their days drinking and drinking in Hawagard, the temple of Orugar, where they drank and drank together in the morning. Legend has it that only the Norslands who died valiantly could be summoned by Orugar to Hawagard to fight with the gods.

Gravel kissed the warrior's armband on his right hand, something that only every grown Norsland man could wear, not only a testament to wisdom and courage, but also a blessing from God to every Norsland man who went on the expedition.

At this moment there was the sound of drums from the side of the Horf fleet, followed by a majestic and powerful song, which was a way for the Norsland sailors to row and cheer up the uniform rhythm, and also a way for ships to communicate with each other.

Immediately after Gravel they were the same as over there, and finally Bevmann's fleet.

As far as the eye can see, every warrior is one in a hundred, fearless of life and death.

Plain Harbor is also known as the Land of Storms, and it is not for nothing that it is called the Land of Storms. Storms of all sizes occur here throughout the year, sometimes on sunny days, and suddenly there are dark clouds, strong winds, waves, and all kinds of capriciousness.

I don't know if God was going to play a joke on Gravel, but suddenly there was a strong wind on the sea.

"Oh no, it's coming storm. Ragnar, who has a wealth of sailing experience, said to Horf

Holf hurriedly ordered the horn to be blown, and everyone knew what was going to happen next.

At this time, the rowing warriors began to roar in a low voice, although the sound was low, but it resounded through the sky, and it was very shocking.

The sky had become black and oppressive, the sea was rough, the wind was raging, and the whole sea seemed to be roaring, as if it were raising its hands to devour them.

"Everyone's holding on," Gravell roared

Everyone has some apprehension in their hearts, but they all regard death as home.
