Chapter 176: At Sea

The sea breeze blows gently, and the waves shake gently. The boat drifted gently in the sea, and a cold wind blew in the back of the head.

Taking advantage of another wave of cold air from the north heading south, Charles and the others left the City of Knowledge on a sea ship and embarked on a journey to the territory of the southern elves.

At this time, the fleet had been on the sea for two days, and due to the uncertain direction of the wind at sea, the wind was sometimes strong and sometimes light, and the fleet of ships that were sometimes fast and sometimes slow took about six days to reach the destination.

The fleet is not far from the coastline, and the outline of the land can be seen in the west during the day. It's just that it's night, and there's nothing to see in the distance except for the ship's anti-collision lights.

Charles, who was putting away the empty fishing hook, pointed to the bow of the boat and whispered to Diana, who was helping on the side, "Have you seen "Titanic"?"

Diana rolled his eyes, "you jup, i wont"

"Why?" said Charles, scratching his head.

"The old lady can fly. Diana said rightly.

Charles felt his face twitch.

After packing up the fishing gear he had borrowed to play with, he said to Diana, "Wait a minute, come to my room, I have something for you to see." ”

Diana looked Charles up and down, then nodded.

The ship has several floors, with the lowest floor being the cargo hold, above which is where the crew lived, and above which were the cabins where the passengers lived.

The cabin Charles was assigned was not large, with a bed and a wooden board that could be folded and used as a table.

Once inside the cabin, he took out a few pieces of parchment from the storage ring and handed them to Diana. That's when he found Diana holding a steel wool ball in her hand.

"How do you have this?" Charles asked in amazement, "what are you going to do with it?"

"Prevent you from plotting against you. Diana said as she put the steel wool ball back into the bag that had expanded the space brought from her hometown.

"Your bag is pretty chic. Charles said to her, "The leaf pattern on it is hand-embroidered?"

"Sent by my best friend. Diana took the parchment from Charles and said, "She embroidered it herself." ”

A magic lamp was nailed to the ceiling of the room, and she perused the words on the parchment under the light.

At the same time, Charles said to her, "This is the translation of those stone tablets, you can see if you can see anything." ”

Diana read it once, and then said as she read it a second time, "It turns out that the demons migrated to this land after being defeated elsewhere." It's just that who defeated them is, it doesn't make it clear. The place where the war was fought was gone, and only half of the word 'deer' remained. ”

"Hmm...... They should have been exterminated after the defeat, but then a man who could speak was able to save them, and then told their Mother to take the people south, and halfway there, Our Lady gave birth to the Son......"

"One day, after the lightning and thunder and the fog were filled, they got lost and found a place with abundant water and grass......"

Later, when they grew stronger and went north to take revenge, they found that their original enemies were gone, and they fought with the orcs. ”

"Finally they reconciled with the orcs and settled down in the southern part of a lake, in what is now Abyssal City. ”

Diana, who had read it for the second time, returned the parchment to Charles, "It seems that the origin of the demon clan is a bit interesting, shouldn't it be the same as us." ”

Charles spread his hands, "Who knows, this world is so amazing, I wouldn't be surprised if Nobita, Huluwa and Transformers appeared in front of me one day." ”

Diana glanced at him, "Why don't you say that there are five hundred wastes in Lingao, and they suddenly appeared on the sea." ”

There was nothing to say all night, and the book was not repeated.

Early the next morning, Charles was uncomfortably stared at by Mordred.

"Where's the fish soup?" asked Mordred, "yesterday you said you had caught the fish and cooked the soup in the morning." ”

Charles scratched his head a little embarrassedly at the expectant look in Mordred's watery green eyes, and finally went to the ship's galley with a bowl of salted fish soup.

"Drink, drink and practice with Mira. Charles said.

I can't help it, I can't catch fish yesterday, so I can only use salted fish instead.

"It's salty. Mordred took a sip.

Charles said to her, "The sea is salty, and it is not surprising that the soup from the fish in the sea is salty." ”

Then the men and the elves all cast contemptuous glances at Charles.

There were no other humans on the ship at this time, except for Charles, Mira, Diana, Artoria, and Mordred. The rest of the caravan was to dock at the northernmost port of the elves, and Charles and Elizabeth and the other elves would continue their voyage south.

In this fleet, the passengers are basically elves who have traveled all over the continent, and they have left their respective adventurer squads to return home after receiving the call of the elven court. In addition to this group, there are many more elven adventurers who have returned to their hometowns one after another through various means.

Ships that were mainly cargo-carrying also carried large quantities of metal ingots, mainly steel.

Knowing the situation of the fleet, Charles finally understood why Elizabeth had to greet the messengers of several nations and the temple that day, and then said such a clichΓ©.

During this period of time, the Elven Royal Court has been recruiting people to go back and buying a large number of metals, and at the same time, this year's exports of medicine and grain have been directly reduced to thirty percent of previous years, and they do not collect money but only raw materials.

How could such an obvious action of war preparedness not make other forces frightened, they were afraid that the elves would suddenly come to "wolf smoke rises, and the country looks north." The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost. ”

You must know that thousands of years ago, the living space of the elves reached the south bank of the Great River in the north.

Charles sat and watched as Mordred and Mila with a warhammer pecked each other, with Artoria on the sidelines just in case.

When he learned that his sister had given up on her dream of learning from St. Angel's to heal the common people and instead embarked on the path of a fighting nun, he was confused.

He hadn't seen Mira pick up anything heavier than a knife or fork since he was a kid, and in just a few months, she had been able to dance with a hammer.

Elizabeth, who had been busy for a few days, finally stepped out of her cabin and stretched out beside Charles.

She sat down next to Charles, "finally finishing all the copywriting." ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess has worked hard. Charles handed her a bottle of mint water.

After taking a few sips of mint water, Elizabeth said to Charles, "I'll test you, on the long coastline, in the face of enemies everywhere in the sea, how do you destroy them." ”

Charles thought back to the map of the Elven Tree Sea that he had seen the other day, and then said, "With the railroad as the trunk, the highway as the branch, and the village stronghold as the fortress, build a large and deep defense line along the coastline to lock the enemy in the sea." The defensive line was divided into various areas, the garrison forces were separated from the mobile forces, and the superior forces were concentrated to destroy the enemy's living forces through the superiority of mobility. If necessary, you can abandon local areas, lure the enemy away from the coast, and then fight a battle of encirclement, a war of annihilation. ”

Elizabeth sighed and patted Charles's brain, "Yes, it seems that you have obtained the true inheritance of my father and Aunt Catherine." ”
