Chapter 745: The Land of Wailing
"Holy Father!" The two fishermen looked at the huge fleet in front of them, and immediately drove their boats to the shore, and they both felt that if they told the news to the knight, they would definitely get a lot of bounty, maybe even a silver coin.
In this way, they did not even have time to change their wet clothes, and quickly ran to the knight's house in his village.
"Tell me what's the matter with you! I'm too busy to listen to you goddamn pigs! ”
This is a knight who looks very athletic, and as a knight under the command of King Leonac, they usually maintain a high level of training.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of the knights under each lord of the Astra Kingdom is very strong, and as a knight country, the Astra Kingdom has a lot of knights, and the quality is also quite good.
If they can't maintain their strong fighting power, they will most likely be replaced by knights who don't have a fief.
Many nobles practiced a competitive system, and if they could not win the opponent in the competition, the knight would have to hand over the fief to the one who outperformed him, and wait until the next contest to win the fief back.
Under such a system, every knight team attaches great importance to their own combat effectiveness, after all, no one wants to lose their own mining to live that kind of hard life.
The two of them immediately told in the briefest words what they had seen and heard on the sea.
"I swear I've never seen a ship of this size, not even in His Majesty's navy, and there are so many of them that I can't count them on my fingers or toes!"
Another said, "We live by the sea all year round and know the kingdom's fleet well, but I have never seen a flag of that pattern!" ”
"It seems to be a bear on it! A giant brown bear! That's the flag on the biggest ship! ”
After listening to the words of these two people, the knight immediately felt that something was wrong, although these two pariahs did not understand anything, but such a huge warship should still look good.
If this is the case, I am afraid that this is definitely a great matter, if you tell your majesty about it......
His mind began to come alive, he had been a knight for a long time, and if possible, he wanted another piece of land to use as a fief.
Thinking of this, he asked the two of them again, "Where are they now?" ”
"Report to the master, they are not far from here, but their speed is not faster than not spitting, and they should be able to get here tomorrow afternoon!"
"Tomorrow afternoon!" The knight muttered a few words casually, then took a few copper coins from his pocket, and hurried out of the room, asking his servants to prepare the horses for him.
Although the two did not get the expected reward, a few copper coins were not bad, which was the money they could only earn for almost a year.
The knight rode wildly on his warhorse, the capital of the kingdom of Astra was not very far from his fief, only a hundred kilometers away, and as a knight who fought all year round, he had two war horses.
After running all the way, he finally reached the city of Cardjavin in the evening, and when he revealed his identity, he entered the castle without any problems.
"I am a knight under His Majesty's command, and I have a very urgent matter to see Your Majesty, you can help me report it!"
He said to the sentries at the door.
Although this knight is not a member of the Knights of the Holy Grail, he is also a very important knightly force, and several guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent to the compatriots in the castle.
As soon as some of the clerks heard that they had something of great importance to report, they reported it to King Leonac, and, having obtained permission, brought the knight to the palace.
A clerk led him to the door of the study, knocked on the door, and then let him in.
King Leonac was staying up late at this time to deal with official business, and the haze of war during this time also shrouded the kingdom of Astra, so he had a lot of things to do.
He looked up and said to the knight, "I'm busy my sir, tell me if you have anything to do as soon as possible!" ”
"Your Majesty, according to my spies, there is an incomparably large fleet on our seas, they probably have hundreds of warships, and each warship is quite large, larger than the warships of our royal navy!"
When King Leonac, who was looking at Arthur's letter to him, heard this, he immediately put down the letter in his hand, looked at the knight with a frown, and said, "Are you sure?" Are there really that many of them? ”
The knight himself actually had no bottom in his heart, but he had reached this point where he had no choice, so he said solemnly: "It is true that Your Majesty, I dare to swear to the Holy Father with my life and my loyalty to you, that there are indeed so many fleets on our seas!" ”
"They have a bear with a crown as their coat of arms, and it's a coat of arms I've never seen before!"
King Leonac frowned when he heard this, and he found a copy of the heraldic book on the table, and began to look through the family to which the coat of arms belonged.
However, he looked through the whole book, but did not find out where the family came from, and he closed the book worriedly, and asked, "When will they arrive on land?" ”
"Probably tomorrow night, Your Majesty, tomorrow night they will probably be able to arrive!"
King Leonac's brow furrowed, he had fully believed the knight's words.
Immediately after sending the knights away, he summoned all his vassals, ordering them to come to the city of Cardjavin with all his army.
And while his vassals were still deploying their troops, the next night, Emperor Porioye's army had reached the seashore.
One by one, they boarded the dinghy and began to land on land.
After a night's landing, all 420,000 troops set foot on the lands of the kingdom of Astra.
They began to disperse, plundering villages nearby, and although they had not yet fully adapted to the land, they were quite formidable in combat.
The nearby villages were completely ravaged by this wolf-like group of Norweed troops.
They brutally kicked open the door of the villager's house, and before the people inside could react, a broad-edged sword slashed through their necks.
Innocent villagers were killed in their sleep by the Norvid soldiers, and some of the soldiers who had been holding back on the ship for too long even took off their pants and shook the women.
As long as the children make a sound, they are greeted by a sharp broad-edged sword.
Countless women screamed and groaned, and they would not pity the jade after holding it for too long, let alone their prisoners of war.
When they were finished, the women who had given them their desires became corpses, whether women, children, old people, young men, and not a single one of the villages they plundered survived.
After they removed the last sack of grain, the entire village was burned.
Here, it has become a purgatory, the souls of the villagers are crying, and the innocent land is wailing.
