Chapter 65: The Road Ahead
The brutality of the Battle of Transvania was beyond anyone's expectations, and in less than a month, it spread among the countries of the continent and instantly became one of the most important news of the year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, what these countries think, Lorraine and they don't know, the only thing that is certain is that the sea kingdom of Riberia, after learning of the disappearance of the crown prince and the destruction of Transvania, immediately announced that he recognized Clovis as the rightful heir to the empire.
This news alone made Josephine not eat for a day, and all kinds of beautiful porcelain were thrown all over the place, but fortunately, the results of the northern search trip of the Skyfire were not bad.
The mountain troops and stragglers scattered along the enemy's logistics lines are still very tempted to recruit the royal princess, and for this reason, the crew of the Skyfire has reached 5,000 people, and it is completely a city in the sky.
Of course, the consequence was that the accommodation became very crowded, and the rate at which food reserves were declining was so alarming that Lorraine had to be demoted from Legion Commander to Chef Commander in order to allow these poor creatures with low morale to rest.
As the mastermind of the Destroyer of Transvania, Lorraine did not appear to be too affected at all, and ran to the kitchen very obediently, and all he could do now was cook when his magic power was exhausted.
I thought that a year had passed since I fled from the imperial capital to the dukedom and then came to Transvania, but the soldiers who followed me changed several waves, and finally even this pearl city was destroyed.
The southern and central regions were in the middle of the war, and the previous northern battles had turned that side into a blank slate, which should be said to be worthy of the era when magic and industry coexisted, and the destruction of weapons was highly efficient!
In order to make a good meal for the people on the Skyfire, and not too difficult to make, Lorraine found a lot of pumpkin and milk from the storeroom, the amount of honey was not much, but it was enough, and as for the eggs and everything, there were not many eggs at all, so I had to use lizard eggs that I don't know where to find them.
This thing is completely the descendant of the monster, the number is very large but the hatching rate is not high, ask the magician on the ship to know that they originally wanted to make demonized lizards, expand the cavalry force, but unfortunately failed, this batch of eggs as ingredients were thrown into the storeroom.
Break one, the thick egg liquid inside looks pretty good, you can feel a little flame element, and although it smells fishy, it tastes good.
Instructing the cooks to make the bread, Lorraine summoned the little goblins to help cut the pumpkin, fiddle with it, put it in the pot and start cooking, and after a while, throw the softened pumpkin filling into the pot, and put the oil on the cheat sheet to show a very good color, and it smells like you want to eat.
Wait until the bread is baked, cut out a bunch of bread slices with the help of everyone, put a little pumpkin filling, cover with a slice of bread, and pinch it tightly with your hands, and press the pattern around it with a fork, which will look good.
The next step is to soak the wrapped pumpkins in the egg mixture, which is the last step before the pumpkin pie is baked, put these little things that are destined to taste good in the oven, take them out after fifteen minutes, pour honey and you're done!
"Come on, try the hot Peninsula pumpkin pie!"
Josephine took a pumpkin pie from the plate, the golden skin had honey on it, the super fragrant pumpkin aroma came to the face, and when she took a bite, the softness of the bread and the sweetness of the pumpkin blended together, and the taste was better than ever.
It's delicious and you can feel the warmth of the sun!
Such a delicious pumpkin pie made Josephine's expression feel like she was back in the arms of her mother and brother, as if everything was still childhood, and the family was intoxicated by the summer sunshine and playing happily.
Those worries, sorrows, and anger have been completely left behind, and now all I have in my heart is the delicious pumpkin pie.
One by two, in front of this delicious meal, rub rubbing!
Josephine didn't notice that the officers, the comrades of the adventuring team, and the crew couldn't stop at all, and the pumpkin pie was consumed at an unprecedented rate, forcing Lorraine to go back to the kitchen and urge the cooks to continue cooking.
The ordinary pumpkin pie boosted morale, the soldiers' eyes were not hopeless, and Josephine had the strength to continue to lead the group out of the Corsaland Peninsula to the last territory of St. Orlando.
"You mean the New World?"
"That's right, you have also seen the current situation, the empire itself was stolen by the puppet emperor, Transvania and the crown prince were destroyed together, it can be said that we have nothing left, only the colonies on the other side of the sea."
"The problem is, you don't know what the hell is going on there, Josephine."
"You're right, Irene, I really don't know what is going on there, judging from the information that the imperial brother gave me before he disappeared, the military industrial system of the New World is not perfect, and it has always existed as the granary of the empire, so it's hard to say how it's developing over there."
"I know a little bit about this, you know that the Rus mercenaries have traveled all over the world, and the level of industry and magic in the New World is even lower than that in Rus, and you had better be mentally prepared for the level of all walks of life, the only advantage is that there is a lot of food over there and the population is dense."
"But uncle, you may not know, Uncle Yuri mentioned to me that there are also many political forces in the New World, and the most powerful slave city-states oppress everyone on that continent."
Lorraine looked at Engels in surprise, he didn't expect that there was still an effort city-state in this era, "Don't look at me like that, what I said is true, the strongest people in the New World are slave city-states, they have stronger strength than St. Orlando, Normans, Riberians and people from other countries, and there is a very peculiar people who are enslaved by the city-states, they are called Elan, little ones from another world." ”
As Engels got to know more about it, they had a preliminary understanding of the situation in the New World, where the colonial forces were complicated, and St. Orlando's occupation was only a narrow area by the sea, with about a dozen small towns and two cities in the sphere of influence.
The strongest slave city-state sounds terrible, in fact, the warships and firearms in their hands are made by the Elamites, these little guys from another world, who are between one meter two and one meter four tall, have very good brains and hands-on ability, but unfortunately the barren combat power and the belief in the gods are not on the server, which leads to a sad situation.
"But it's also an opportunity!"
Josephine immediately made a decision after hearing the introduction, she was going to lead her followers to occupy the New World and liberate the little ones for her use, and she had reason to believe that the Elamites would definitely give everything for freedom.
Not to mention the girl's whimsical decision, the others have no other choice, there is no supply point in the current Korsaland Peninsula, the friendly army is long gone, there is a civil war on the mainland side of the empire, and no one will be willing to help the princess for free this time.
"Then let's go, Kolsalan has nothing to be nostalgic about, let's go to the New World!"
In late 1824, the self-proclaimed orthodox Josephine? Princess Brittany, who led her followers out of the Korsalan Peninsula on the HMS Skyfire floating battleship, headed for the New World.
