Chapter 265: Moorish Pirates
On the way, Li Ji learned who the enemy of White Joan of Arc was-
At their peak, the pagan Moorish pirates occupied most of the southern Iberian Peninsula before being expelled by King Alfonso VIII of Castile more than 200 years ago and driven to Grenada in the south and across North Africa.
Since most of the land occupied by the Moors was barren and unable to rely on the land for food and wealth, the Moors developed a thieving business and profited from the looting of ships from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.
Fortunately, the Moorish pirates have not reached their peak at the moment, and in another hundred years, thanks to the vassal Ottoman Empire, the famous Barbarossa? Hayreddin will quickly integrate the manpower and material resources of all regions in North Africa, leaving behind the feared legend of the Barbary pirates.
After a day's flight, Li Ji arrived in Corsica, the French island of Corsica, Napoleon's hometown, near the Mediterranean, and saw Joan of Arc of White temporarily hiding all her ships in the bay that retreated into the depths of the island, waiting to regroup and rush out of the Strait of Gibraltar in one go.
On the beach, the crew either lies on the edge of the beach and basks in the sun, or goes deep into the jungle to hunt with the intention of improving their food, or simply plays gambling games to pass the time.
Joan of Arc stood on the reef, looking into the distant sky, as if waiting for her arrival.
Fafnir sent himself down and disappeared.
"Thank you, Lord, for coming!" Joan of Arc waited for Li Ji, a little strange about the uneasy aura exuded from the dragon's body, and more concerned about seeing him only without Marda, worried about whether there were enough of them.
"You are the only one who is a little worried about me, don't worry, this time I promised that the ship would be delivered to France safely." Li Ji explained after guessing the girl's thoughts.
Joan of Arc nodded slightly, thinking that she should trust the young man in front of her first no matter what, and she remembered the question that had been bothering her in the past few days: "... By the way, Lee, I heard that you are in France, and there is a Joan of Arc over there, I don't know..."
Joan of Arc was really not blind, and noticed what happened on the day of Li Ji's absence.
Li Ji pondered for a moment, "I need to confess to you... Joan of Arc, as you might have guessed, during this time, and even everything we've done since we came to this particular point, was actually to help that Joan of Arc and hope that she would leave France and go to North America in the New World to create a new future. ”
"Am I okay with that? I heard that she is a witch who symbolizes destruction and destruction, why should you help her? Joan of Arc felt heavy when she heard the news, and she felt betrayed, because it turned out that the person she trusted had been entangled with her opposite self.
"Because I'm saving her... You should know that she is a Joan of Arc born for revenge, and if she is allowed to wreak havoc in the land of France, the result will definitely be very bad, but she has several knowledgeable Heroic Spirits under her command, and has the possibility of guiding the future of mankind, so helping her and letting her go to North America is actually a choice after the integration of many factors. ”
Joan of Arc was in a better mood, things might not be as serious as she thought, and Li Ji had asked himself that what they were going to do was beyond imagination, and that he might have forgiven him.
"Thank you for what I did... I knew it was impossible to avoid the killing entirely, or at least it would reduce the killing and the loss. ”
"Thank you for your understanding, as for that Joan of Arc, she undoubtedly has a personality that is a little different from yours, but she has always been an alter version born based on you, and it is not as hopeless as you think, and even I get along with her quite happily..."
"I understand, I hope I don't get you in trouble... No... In fact... I'm causing you trouble here, too. Joan of Arc suddenly thought of something, and thought that because of his own incompetence, the fleet could not pass through the Strait of Gibraltar and needed Li Ji's help, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Joan of Arc, it's not your fault..." After this period of observation, Li Ji's understanding of the world has gone further.
He, Marda, and other Chaldean servants did not change their combat effectiveness in the slightest after crossing to the first peculiarity. But Morgan must be an out-of-spec Heroic Spirit, Artoria, Semiramis, Matthew, and Marda are powerful Heroic Spirits, and after meeting certain conditions, except for Matthew, the rest of the Heroic Spirits can go one step further and reach the out-of-specification level.
In addition, Matthew has Fufu and the Holy Grail, and if the primate killer and the Holy Grail make a personal move, even the crown heroic spirit may be defeated.
Looking at it this way, the lineup sent out by the Chaldeans this time is simply gorgeous, and it is completely unreasonable not to easily push the enemy.
Looking at Black Joan of Arc, having the Holy Grail to provide magic power is actually just the level at which she has the limit of powerful Heroic Spirits, and the rest of the Heroic Spirits are modern because they are modern, too many Heroic Spirits are not pure combat spirits, so that some Heroic Spirits are relatively weak, and they can basically only go down one level.
But no matter what, Black Joan of Arc at least has a lot of heroic spirits who obey her orders.
Only the white Joan of Arc who appeared for unknown reasons had nothing, even during the Holy Grail War in peacetime, Joan of Arc appeared as a powerful heroic spirit, and at the first special point, it directly became the level of a weak heroic spirit.
If you think about it, it seems understandable that Jeanne d'Arc is in trouble.
Unless there is something to help Joan of Arc to make up for the demons, it's a pity that there are only a few very evil methods that he is more familiar with in his mind, and of course he won't bring them up.
"Anyway, please leave it to me, and you will be responsible for directing the fleet to set off!" Li Ji said confidently to Joan of Arc.
"Yes!" When Joan of Arc received the order, she immediately sent an informant to the entire fleet.
Nearly 100 mobilized carrak sailboats set sail in the wind, and saw Joan of Arc standing at the front of the flagship, chanting blessings incessantly, accompanied by the manifestation of light, turning into a flag leading the fleet forward.
With the white light enveloping the entire crew, the leadership and the saint's abilities, coupled with the holy clothes and holy guards that came with Marda, turned the crew into fanatics, and the fighting spirit lifted anchor and set sail.
With the sails full, the boat gets faster and faster until the sails are full, reaching maximum speed, and heading southwest on the wind and waves.
In Li Ji's eyes, he has experienced so many battles, and even the out-of-specification heroic spirits have fought a lot, unless there are a few more dangerous peculiarities in the back, this rescue of Joan of Arc can be easily dealt with.
When the fleet is safely delivered to its destination, it will take one or two years to transport 100,000 immigrants away and meet the basic demographic conditions for the development of North America, and then the rest will naturally be left alone, and you can return to Chaldea.
Joan of Arc and the crew didn't think so, perhaps having suffered a few losses, and they were always on their toes after entering the south from the northern shore of the Mediterranean.
