Chapter 0522 - The Flood of Fantasy Species
"A little bee, fly into the flowers, fly, fly......"
Anne was hiding under a thatched hut with a guide, Archbishop Padraic of the church, and a dozen or so of Camelot's rank-and-file soldiers, waiting in the field for the flying monsters that had repeatedly attacked the inhabitants and soldiers of Camelot to reappear.
And the archbishop came with him because the field that the monsters often attacked was located in the west of the city, and when the chief mage of Anne's court, who was sitting in a gorgeous carriage and leading a dozen Camelot pikemen, out of the city, he happened to be met by this archbishop, so the other party shamelessly had to follow, saying that he wanted to witness how Camelot's new court mage subdued or expelled the monsters?
To put it bluntly, Ya just doesn't trust her much in Queen Anne's strength, and wants to see if she can complete the task, or does she want to continue to observe her strength?
Anyway, this kind of thing Anne didn't care, so the other party followed here, and gathered around her to wait for the man-eating monsters that hadn't appeared for a long time.
"Two little children, run into the woods, poke their nests, eat, eat, eat......"
♪(^∀^●)ノ
Because she was bored, Anne hugged her bear by herself, singing nursery rhymes she had made up haphazardly, and passed the boring waiting time.
“……”
“……”
At this time, neither Archbishop Padraic nor the frightened soldiers who stood behind him poked their heads out of their thatched huts to look up at the sky, were in no mood to pay attention to a little girl who was not at all nervous, they were very worried about the appearance of the man-eating monster.
The archbishop is okay, after all, he has seen the little girl's ability with his own eyes, but those soldiers are different, most of them have only heard that the little witch is very powerful, so they can become the court mage of the princess of Artoria, as for the strength of the other party, it is more apprehensive, for fear that they will accidentally lose their own lives later, then the fun will be great!
"Hey! Are you really sure those monsters will come back today? ”
After waiting for less than five minutes and humming a few nursery rhymes, Anne became a little impatient!
Wait for something, that kind of thing is the most annoying!
And she felt that it was too stupid to wait under this broken thatched hut like this, who knew if those monsters would come? Instead of this, why don't you let these people wait here, play by yourself first, and then wait until those monsters appear, and then send someone to inform her? Or, in some other way, it's better than waiting like this, right?
"Please be patient, they should come."
Before the resigned, the old archbishop, who was a little thin, smiled slightly, leaned closer, and then spoke to the little girl in a very kind tone.
"Why? What if they don't want to come today? ”
She had been waiting for several minutes, and she hadn't seen anything in the sky that had anything to do with the monster except for the birds that flew by from time to time!
"Also, stay away from me!"
"If you laugh so ugly, there must be some ulterior conspiracy!"
After asking a few rhetorical questions, Anne moved to the side with some disgust, she didn't like this attentive old fellow, because Tibbs the bear said that this guy didn't have good intentions, and the other party treated him a little defensively and hostilely, although he was not a bad guy, but he was certainly not a good person.
"Uh...... Rest assured, it will definitely come! ”
"Those monsters eat a lot, just as we humans need to eat two meals a day, and those monsters must eat enough fresh meat every day! Moreover, they do not have the habit of storing or eating spoiled food. ”
"I've seen some of their accounts of them saying that each adult specimen needs to eat at least a few dozen pounds of fresh meat? And the soldiers and farmers they captured before were almost all those meat ......"
Archbishop Padraic, who had once witnessed the appearance of those monsters and attack soldiers and farmers, had a fond memory of the ferocious fantasy species, or mythical creatures, recorded in ancient books! Even he himself never imagined that those creatures would not disappear with the disappearance of the gods and gods in their traditional territory, and would still appear here in Britain, which made him a little curious.
Therefore, he is going to follow with a shy face today, in addition to wanting to continue to estimate the true strength of this little witch who has defeated the legendary magician Merlin half a month ago, he also wants to carefully study the reasons why those fantasy species have not completely died out.
"Two meals a day? Ha! I'm different from you! ”
"I eat at least three meals a day! Then, there are afternoon refreshments, evening supper, and snacks when I'm free! ”
The kind of eating only two meals a day is completely the treatment of abusive child labor, and Anne herself will definitely not accept it anyway!
In fact, after a period of wandering in Fuyuki City, under the influence of the future earthlings, even the dull king Artoria has long since abandoned the original bad habit of eating only two meals a day, and changed to three meals a day in the morning, noon and evening, becoming another existence that is regarded as strange in the entire palace castle.
So, just because they can eat, just because they eat one extra meal a day, almost half of the people of Camelot know that their future Queen Artoria is a pot-bellied woman who eats a lot of food, and she actually eats three meals a day!
There are also rumors circulating in the market that because they can eat, their Queen of Camelot is ten feet tall and weighs five hundred pounds, and she likes to wheel a huge mace that can crush one of the most powerful knights in a single stroke! It is precisely because of this that Camelot's rebellion can be quickly quelled!
“……”
"Those evil creatures, they've been here for three days in a row to catch 'hearty' fresh food, so they should continue to come here."
"They're powerful, tall, strong, and good at flying...... Unless we Camelot can deal damage to them, or scare them away...... Otherwise, they will even consider this place as their new territory and hunting ground from now on. ”
"But as far as I know, those creatures shouldn't have such large groups of people...... Forget it, I'm not going to speculate, I'm sure I'll find out later. ”
Instead of dwelling on the little girl's meal of several meals a day, Padraic just spoke his judgment slowly, hoping that the little witch would indeed be able to deal with them! Otherwise, when those creatures settle down here, it will be a disaster for the people of Camelot.
Padraic sighed and shook his head helplessly as he thought of the horrors he had seen two days before when the monsters swooped down and snapped the soldiers who tried to attack them.
Those poor farmers and soldiers are probably now the ghosts of those monsters.
If those creatures are filthy and evil, such as zombies, skeletons, ghosts, or vampires, he, the archbishop, can also use his magic to purify and expel them, he is not a simple magic stick, but has a powerful divine power!
However, for those fantasy species, those pure creatures, his magic is a little powerless.
"Stop!"
"What a mess, I was confused!"
"Since you know so much, since you have seen them with your own eyes, and you seem to know what they are, tell me what their names are and what are their characteristics?"
Anne doesn't care how strong or tall she is, whether she is evil or not, whether she eats people or not, has nothing to do with her!
After all, they humans often eat animals, and conversely, there is nothing great about animals eating humans, the weak should be eaten by the strong, no matter what world it is!
Now, she just wants to clean up the group of monsters that came to her and the Silly King's territory as soon as possible, and then clean up as soon as possible and go back to continue to improve her set of simulated strategy big sand table, she doesn't want to be here with these soldiers who are not fun at all, and a timid soldier and a certain god stick stay under this broken shed to play the game of hiding cats!
"Yes, I know what they are, whether it's in ancient books, or yesterday and the day before yesterday, I've seen them with my own eyes......"
"Their name is Griffin ......"
"It's a powerful fantasy species with the body of a lion, the head of an eagle, and the wings! Their bodies are larger than eight lions and taller than a hundred eagles...... This is described in the ancient books, and the ones I saw yesterday may not be that big, but at least they are certainly bigger than two horses! ”
"I've also seen that when they swoop down, the longbow can't hurt their tough feathers and skin, and the heavy spears will be flapped directly by their powerful wings, and only a few strong crossbows can get away with getting away with their epidermis, but the crossbowmen are quickly torn apart by the angry ones......"
Archbishop Padraic slowly recalled and described what he had seen yesterday and what was described in the ancient books, where it was said that those monsters could wrestle dragons, so there must be a reason, right?
What the archbishop didn't know, however, was that his words made the soldiers behind him even more frightened......
"It's just that what makes me feel a little strange is that those creatures, as stated in ancient books, were active in the ancient Greek Minoan civilization for more than 2,000 years, and appeared in many records, and they seem to have become the mounts of many gods in the old era?!"
"But ......"
"Since the gods began to slowly disappear, those creatures should have left or gradually disappeared along with the other fantasy species, but now, why did they suddenly run to Britain, and frequently haunt and attack the villagers and livestock?"
Thinking of this, Archbishop Padraic shook his head with some regret, he himself didn't know much about these things, and if that Merlin was still there, the other party would definitely know the reason......
However, it's a pity that even the legendary magician Merlin has been beaten away by the little witch in front of him, and he doesn't know when he will appear again?
"The body of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle?!"
"Aren't those useless griffins! Hey! It's a shame that you stupid guy explained for a long time, what kind of mess Griffin...... As you just said, they're clearly griffins, and I'm familiar with those things, and they're nothing remarkable! ”
Finally, after the other party finished speaking slowly, Anne snorted on the spot.
She thought it was some kind of man-eating monster before, it was just a group of griffins, look at them these guys are nervous, if it were changed to the world of Azeroth, those things dared to fly down and attack humans, I am afraid that a group of armed Lordaeron militia would be able to capture them alive or directly clean them up!
"Griffons?"
"I'm sorry, I don't think I've heard that word? All I know is that they are called griffins in our ancient books...... It is also a mythical beast in Greek mythology, and of course, an evil monster because they eat people......"
"However, this can't be generalized, their powerful flying fantasy species, they should eat everything! Lions, leopards, horses, sheep and cows, and us humans are all preyed on, and they can even grab an adult bull and fly back to its den...... So, if you have to classify them as evil creatures, it seems a bit inaccurate? ”
After thinking for a while, the archbishop felt that it seemed more accurate to classify it as a ferocious fantasy bird of prey? Like lions and leopards, they also eat people, but they are not evil creatures, they can only be regarded as beasts.
But whether it's a griffin or a griffin, there are dozens of them in such a large group, it must be a whole group! So, Padraic estimated that today, those monsters would definitely come, and when they couldn't find livestock or humans to hunt in this busy field, they might turn elsewhere, or even set their sights on the city of Camelot in the east?
If those monsters dare to approach the city...... I don't know if the large hard crossbows and bed crossbows on the city walls can effectively kill them? But if they ignore the city walls and attack the city directly from above, then it will be a big problem.
"I won't listen to you!"
"If those guys are really griffins, it's easy, anyway, I have a way to deal with them!"
After landing directly on a pile of grass, Anne held her chin a little boredly and began to wait.
Knowing that the monsters they were talking about were actually this kind of thing, Anne was a little unhappy! And what made her feel even more annoyed was that she was allowed to use an arcane archmage to deal with such a group of little griffins, isn't this a clear bully of weak creatures?
( ̄^ ̄)
Perhaps, she could capture them alive and teach them to Silly to form an air troop, just like the griffin knights of the dwarves of Eagle's Nest Mountain? Although it is impossible for people here on Earth to throw a thunderhammer with magical power like those dwarves...... But it's also very powerful to fly up to the sky with a few bundles of short spears and drop them or something, right?
( ̄▽ ̄)~↘↘
Or, throw some canisters of oil and gunpowder or something?
Forget it, those things are a little too cumbersome to make, so let's just let their stupid guys just throw the short spear, fly high, and drop it from such a high place, under the acceleration of gravity, let alone the short spear, even the egg can kill people!
If you dislike the cost of the short spear is too high, you can fly up with two baskets of stones.
Anyway, you can't push the technology too high all at once, otherwise it won't be fun! It's like pulling an interstellar heavy cruiser directly from the Kpru Star Zone, it's completely bullying the ancient natives of Earth, and Anne's fragile conscience will be condemned!
"Master Anne, are you sure that you are sure that you can deal with them, so you don't need to make some necessary preparations?"
The archbishop, who had witnessed those monsters flying down, killing and capturing dozens of soldiers with their own eyes, still felt a little unreliable that the little girl in front of him dared to come here with only a dozen soldiers, and he felt that at least they should all send the powerful flame knights over, and then ambush nearby?
Otherwise, the farmers who were working in the fields outside would have suffered.
"I don't need anything to prepare!"
"Let me tell you, don't talk about those useless griffins, even if it's a group of dragons, as long as they dare to come, I can catch them for you!"
Speaking of dragons, Anne suddenly remembered that the body of the Dumb King in this world does not seem to be a normal human being, but a special magical creature, and even has a powerful dragon power in his body? It's just that it seems to have been suppressed, and this kind of behavior must be a good thing that can only be done by the bad guy named Merlin who she beat away before, right?
Perhaps, if she has the chance, she can try to fully activate the power in the other party's body, and then, something very interesting will definitely happen?
"Hehe, you're really kidding......"
Archbishop Padraic definitely didn't believe that the other party could catch the dragon, after all, in their place, the dragon is a great existence!
Legend has it that King Uther was defeated at the hands of the White Dragon and King of Britain, Votigon Pendragon, and then, in the end, he stayed here at Camelot and died depressed!
It is said that the white dragon (magic dragon) is the incarnation of Britain, and to be the enemy of it is to be the enemy of the entire British island itself, and it is also the last dragon of Britain, sworn to defend the last remaining mysterious power in this world? Of course, these are legends, and no one knows if they are true or not, and some of them were inadvertently told to him by the mysterious Merlin that Padraic was familiar with.
"I'm not kidding you!"
"Dragons or something, I've burned several of them, what's the big deal?"
Anne turned her head and glared fiercely at a certain magic stick, this is a fact, she has burned a lot of dragons to death, what is so strange about catching one or two? Like the Tyrannosaurus, the Velociraptor, or the Ancestral Dragon of Northrend, whether it's meat or eggs, she's eaten them all!
Actually, she wanted to eat even the eggs of the five-colored dragons, but they were so well hidden that she never found them.
“……”
Camelot's soldiers didn't have the heart to listen to some little girl and some bishop talking about dragons or griffons, they were watching the sky outside the hut with fear, it was not a safe place, and they would have nowhere to run if they were spotted by the birds of prey!
“!!”
"Not good! Sure enough, they're here again......"
At this time, before Padraic could say anything, suddenly, high in the distance, there was a faint burst of sharp eagle chirps piercing the sky, and when he looked up, sure enough, he found dozens of griffins hovering in the distant sky, and were slowly gliding out of the mountain towards the plain.
"That's right, it's the same group they were yesterday!"
"But...... How can there be so many fantasy species? There are more of them than yesterday, isn't the mystery of this world slowly dissipating, and the gods are gradually passing away?! ”
After looking at it for a while, the archbishop was shocked to find that in the distant sky, the number of those monsters, those small black dots, seemed to have increased again?
There are dozens of huge griffins in the distance, that must be a whole race, right?
This kind of powerful monster, and a large group, even a raid on Camelot is more than enough! Fortunately, they don't have too much intelligence, and they just come out to hunt, so they probably won't attack the city, otherwise it would be a catastrophe!
"Mysteriously vanished...... You're not dreaming, are you? ”
Anne jumped off the haystack at this point, patted the grass clippings on her body, and squinted at some old god stick who was making a fuss with disdain.
"I may not know anything else, but I'll tell you now: here in Britain, the concentration of its magic elements is still maintained at a very high level, and if you want to mysteriously dissipate or something, it will take at least one or two thousand years!"
Not necessarily for a thousand or two thousand years!
You know, in the other world that Anne had been to, in that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Diagon Alley or something, those wizards were still running all over the place, magical creatures and potions, dragons, etc., that was too much!
In the world of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the mystery will not necessarily dissipate even if it takes a few thousand years, but there are still signs of recovery? The amount of magical energy is like a tidal wave, there are high and low, it can't be high all the time, and it can't always be at the bottom, that's the theorem.
"Ahh
"How long does it take to dissipate?!"
Padraic was incredulous, and he even thought that when the magic dissipated, when the mystery faded, it was time for their church to rise! Without the troublesome wizards and mages who made trouble, and without the fantasies who ran out and were embarrassed, their mission would have gone a lot smoother.
When the time comes, the mystery will no longer appear, and no one will question whether their God exists or does not exist.
"So what do you think?!"
With one last word, Anne ran out of the hut and looked up at the air.
“……”
"They won't come down, it's a bit difficult!"
It's not impossible to run high in the air to catch a flock of big flying birds, which is a bit too much of a hassle, but it would be much easier if you could get them to the door and land on their own.
"Quick! Guys, drive those sheep and cattle out there, make some noise, and bring them down to me!" ”
Looking outside, Anne turned her gaze to the cowering soldiers behind her when she saw the farmers in the distance, who had been busy in the fields, running under the trees or in the houses to avoid the griffons.
“……”
"Witches, witches, I—We don't dare ......"
"No, that's right! Their monsters are so ferocious, last time my two companions were grabbed by one of their claws, and they all carried them to the sky......"
"Master Mage, just spare us......"
However, seeing the little girl's gaze, the group of pikemen, who were originally very nervous because of their small numbers, pushed back one after another, and no one dared to do that kind of thing to lure the enemy.
Because, if you're not careful, it's going to kill people, and it's a tragic death that will be eaten by monsters!
"Either you drive the sheep and cattle out, or you ...... I'll turn you all into sheep and cattle and drive them out!" Now, pick one for yourselves! ”
Anne was furious, why were the soldiers under the hands of the Dull Hair King all such cowardly goods? She was watching from here, how could she let those griffons take them away again?
How could they, bastards, not trust her Queen Anne so much?
"Lady and witch, can we choose neither?"
“……”
Sheep Transformation!
Mage's Hand!!

——————
Beyond the east coast of Britain, on the western side of the North Sea, near the British East Coast, a lone medium-sized sea-going ship sails quietly on the clear blue sea.
Today's weather is very good, the sun is warm, the breeze is blowing, and under the condition of good wind and smooth water, this fast medium-sized sail wood warship of Orkney County is now carrying Gawain and his fifty cavalry knights and matching war horses, plus dozens of sailors, adding up to a total of less than one hundred and thirty people, which is all the current staffing of this ship.
Since they were not combat equipment, they were only used as a rush configuration, so they were not equipped with more sailors and more combat materials, which made the ship seem relatively spacious and more comfortable.
And if it weren't for the fifty-one horses, maybe it would have been better?
Because, in order to free up the cabin for those war horses and forage, it took up too much space and load, which made the speed of the ship relatively slow.
However, although the weather and wind speed are good today, no one on this warship that has been sailing south along the coastline can be happy today! Because...... In the sky above their ship, dozens of meters away, a large flock of huge 'flying birds' following them were circling!
However, it is not an ordinary seagull or a petrel or anything, but a group of hideous-looking, greedy and ugly mythical monsters - the Harpy!!
They had a woman's head and body, long filthy hair, bird wings and bronze claws, some with extra arms, while others had only the same wings as their left and right arms......
They are a group of greedy and ugly harpy monsters, also belonging to the fantasy species, and legend has it that these monsters are always hungry and hideous, and everything they come into contact with is filthy and smells of stench due to curses.
Now, this is the same group of fellows, who spotted the ship just three days after Gawain and the others left the Orkney Islands, and followed them around, and yesterday even captured the lookouts who were caught off guard, and the unlucky ones who were on duty at the top of the mast...... And then, they have been following them until now, refusing to leave, as if intending to destroy all the ships that sailed on the seas?
"Captain, how is it now? Those guys, are you still reluctant to leave?! ”
The hatch to the lower deck opened, and Gawain, who was a little tired, stepped out with a gloomy face, and asked the captain of the battleship who was on the deck directing the sailors.
In fact, without him asking, he could see when he looked up, there were twenty or thirty monsters hovering above their ship all the time, and at that distance, whether it was a bow or a crossbow, it would definitely not be able to shoot, and they could only stare dryly now.
"Nope!"
"See for yourself, the scumbags, they're still following! I guess at night, they'll want to attack again, and those monsters are hard to deal with! ”
Obviously, this captain was obviously no stranger to those monsters, so he was in the mood to continue to direct the sailors to go south in addition to his chagrin, and it was not the first time he had seen such monsters.
“……”
"We have to find a way to get rid of them, may I ask you, captain, do you have any good ideas?"
Gawain, who was not too familiar with this kind of monster, looked up at the eagle-like ones in the sky, wings wide and circled and followed them for a long time before asking the captain in a deep voice.
"There's no good way to do it, our captains, but we're most afraid of this annoying thing!"
"Only, by this time tomorrow, we should be able to reach the waters off the coast of Ebolac's port, and if you plan to go ashore there, you'll only have to endure the brass bells for a little longer! Otherwise, we will have to go southeast, into the depths of the North Sea, and as long as we are far from the land, there is no place for those monsters to land and rest, and they will naturally abandon our ship...... Because those monsters are not like those seagulls, they can't float in the sea, and they can't fly in the air for a long time. ”
"They also have to rest and eat!"
At this, the captain laughed and showed a mouth full of yellow teeth.
That's right, no one in Orkney knows better how to deal with those harpys or harpy witches than he, the captain of the ships who has been on the seas for many years, and that is the sound of bronze!
But that's it, the hideous and wicked troublesome harpies, the only thing they fear is the sound of a specific frequency when the bronze is struck!
Those monsters were not originally fantasy species here in Britain, and it is said that they migrated west from the European continent in recent decades, and they seem to be related to some gods and goddesses of ancient Greece? Anyway, the captain only knows that they usually like to inhabit the coast of Britain, which makes the kingdoms or lords in those territories always annoyed!
And that includes the captains they need to take this route!
Because, those monsters can fly, and they like to inhabit caves on the cliffs, even if the lords or kings are willing to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress, but whether the other party flies to the sea or directly lifts into the air, the encircled soldiers can only stare dryly, and can only hunt a little from time to time to make a show.
What's even more difficult is that those harpys have a certain amount of wisdom and contact curse spells, and they are especially vindictive...... As long as they identify a ship or a city, they will continue to harass until one of them succumbs and retreats first!
For example, they are now following them and want to wait until night falls to launch a surprise attack?
Therefore, they really didn't have any good way except to let people take turns to ring the brass bells on the ship for a whole night when the light was not good, so that they would not dare to approach.
However, as far as the captain's own experience is concerned, at most it will take another two or three days, and when they are far away from the other party's lair, they will naturally retreat on their own, which is not a big deal, at most, it is just a little unfriendly to the rest of the knights?
Like this now, the prince and knight of Gawain, who is mentally sluggish and obviously didn't sleep well last night?
Anyway, the seafarers and sailors themselves must be used to it, and no matter the waves, bells, or expressive shaking, it can't affect them from sleeping! As for whether these knights can stand it or not, it has nothing to do with him, his task is only to send the other party safely to one of the two ports south of Britain.
“……”
"If we go deeper into the North Sea, away from land, and deviate from course, how long will it take us to reach the port of Rondinion?"
Frowning, looking at the monsters in the sky, watching each other block the noon sun, leaving a shadow on the deck of the ship from time to time, Gawain groaned slightly, sighed and asked again.
Seriously, after ringing the bronze bell for a whole night last night, coupled with the fact that he was a little uncomfortable with the bumps of the sea boat, he didn't close his eyes for almost a night! And if he continued to make trouble like this for another two or three days, then he would rather go ashore directly at Ebolak and take the dangerous land route directly than be tossed around like this by those monsters every night......
If you can, a detour at sea also seems like a good option?
"To the deep sea? Not...... That would have required a big circle, and at least seven to ten days of travel! ”
"It's just that Your Highness, I don't recommend that you do that! Bronze bell or banshee or something, just endure it and get used to it, maybe you can change it to sleep during the day and wake up at night? ”
After pondering the charts in his mind, the captain quickly gave an approximate time. But in the end, he shook his head in embarrassment, unwilling to turn to the deep sea to sail.
"Why?"
Adding a few days to less than half a month's trip, Gawain felt that it seemed to be within his range of bearing, and it didn't seem to be an unacceptable thing.
"Because it's not safe in the deep sea!"
"According to the rumors of our sailors, in the depths of the North Sea, there are still many huge basilisks, naga, ghosts, merfolk and so on, and even the North Sea Monster that no one has ever seen before, and everyone who has seen it has died!!"
Speaking of this, the captain gasped, his tone became a lot faster, and his face was very ugly!
Clearly, he was hesitant to sail into the depths of the ocean...... In his opinion, only ignorance leads to fearlessness...... And the more he knew, and the more experienced he became, the more he was in awe of the sea, and the less easily he set foot in certain mysterious areas and taboos that were well known to sailors.
Moreover, the weather in the deep sea is unpredictable, and they don't carry too many supplies, and once they deviate from the perfect shipping lane, which has the coastline as a reference, it will be a devastating disaster for their small ship!
"That's right...... All right! ”
"Then let's continue south, but, to-night, I don't want to hear the brass bell ringing again!"
In the end, Gawain did not dare to give the order to force the captain to venture in the direction of the deep sea, and without wanting to delay the trip to Camelot, he decided to continue according to the original plan and route, and planned to do something to change the ship's current predicament.
"Don't ring the bell? Ha! That's absolutely impossible, Your Highness! ”
"If we don't ring the bronze bell, if we don't drive those monsters, we will have a whole boat, then no one will want to live!"
If you don't ring the bell at night, you'll really die!
There is absolutely no room for compromise on this matter! Even if the other party is the prince of the county, even if the other party is a knight of Gawain, as the captain of the ship, he will definitely not give in to this matter.
"Captain, if I could get rid of them now, wouldn't they dare come at night?"
Gawain slowly untied the hilt of a large sword wrapped in strips of linen cloth in his hand, as if preparing to use it.
"Humph......"
"Then you need to kill at least half of them, and you need to make them scared, otherwise they won't give up their prey so easily."
After squinting at the monsters on his head for a while, the ship laughed and sneered at the eldest prince of Orkney in front of him. He could see that the other party seemed to be preparing to use the sword to deal with those monsters? Then don't be kidding, they are very cunning, how can they rush down and engage in hand-to-hand combat with them in the daytime?
If that were the case, those monsters would have been slaughtered by his sailors! In addition to being able to fly, and those troublesome contact curses, those harpys are far from being the opponents of sailors in terms of strength and combat effectiveness!
"Please wait and see!"
Choke!
Gawain didn't explain much, and when the sound of the sword being drawn sounded, he let the captain of the ship see the ornate knight's sword he had drawn embellished with blue gems. Because it's all his own people, he doesn't worry about them having any bad ideas.
"Your Highness, are you crazy and really plan to cut them with your sword?!"
The captain thought it was a little incredible, those monsters would never come down at this time, they were not stupid, but those who thought they were stupid had already become their food or some indescribable utensils!
It's a bit more reliable to run to the lookout and scatter them with a strong crossbow shot, but then it will only anger them and make them fly higher and get entangled longer...... That would be pointless, so he wasn't going to do that, he just had to chase it away with the bell.
“……”
However, Gawain ignored the captain's doubts, he just took a deep breath, then looked at the midday sun, and when he saw that there were no clouds to obscure the scorching noonday sun, he nodded in satisfaction, and then walked to the stern of the ship in a few great strides, and in a place where there were no masts and sails, and too many cables, he raised the holy sword in his hand, the 'Sword of Victory of Wheeling'.
In the next moment, something shocked the captain and all the sailors, knights, or cavalrymen on deck:
They only saw that under the noonday sun, the magnificent long sword in the hand of the eldest prince Gawain actually began to suck in the sunlight and gather them as if it were alive?
Soon, the entire sword body gradually turned red, and when it gathered to a certain extent, under the effect of the high temperature, the surrounding area of the sword body seemed to burn directly into flames, and the air began to boil and roll, and the light began to distort...... Soon after, when the flames grew louder and louder, when the sailors and crews could not stand the heat and kept retreating, when the sails were a little curled, when there was another trumpet sun above the sword...... The prince of Gawain let out a loud shout, and at the same time grasped the hilt of his sword with both hands, and slashed viciously into the sky!
Inspire Unique Noble Phantasms:
"The Sword of Victory"
In the next moment, a flame sword in the shape of an arc dome suddenly swept the fire light visible to the naked eye, and roared and slapped straight towards the sky, and even accidentally ignited several thick cables!
However, no one cared about that little fire now, and all of them, with their mouths wide open, watched them stunned Prince Gawain and sent out a terrifying blow!
"Quack!!"
"Whew!!"
"Squeak!!"
"Quack !!"
In the next second, when the unscrupulous harpies in the sky noticed that something was not quite right below, they were about to see what was going on...... All they feel is a violent heat blowing and flapping at high speed from the bottom up! Then they screamed, and their wings and bodies instantly burst into flames, and they began to scatter and fly for a while, and then they fell headlong outside......
That's right, this is the power of the Gawain gorilla, who wields the sword of the Sun, known as the sister sword of Excaliber's Sword of Victory of the Oath! Blessed and blessed by a certain favoritist mother, Gao Wenjun, as an invincible peerless knight under the sun, was able to use the holy sword in his hand to unleash such a powerful long-range attack in a sunny climate!
Especially now, at noon, when the sky is cloudless, his strength is at least five times more than usual! And within three hours around noon, it will also have at least three times the strength bonus! However, outside of these times, it is just a normal level...... And once it was night, this holy sword was basically of no special use except for its sharp and tenacious properties.
There is no doubt that he Gawain is a sun knight who needs the sun's rays to recharge in order to exert his powerful combat effectiveness!
For example, just now, if you give him enough time to charge up (about half an hour or so?) And without any interference, he can even launch a terrorist attack that directly and instantly burns down a large city! Of course, only if he can withstand the powerful heat of the flames.
And this is the ultimate power of his Sun Knight Gao Wen, when the weather is clear and there is sunshine, he is an existence that can slaughter the city and destroy the country alone!
"Captain!"
"Do you think, those monsters, they will come at night to retaliate against us?"
After breathing a sigh of relief and wiping the sweat from the heat on his forehead due to the heat just now, Gawain, the Sun Knight, asked playfully with a smile at the captain of the battleship who was looking at him dumbfounded.
He was very satisfied with the power of this sword, and as for the other 'Sword of Oath Victory', which was said to be able to collect the power of the planet and the essence of the moon, and was even more powerful than the holy sword in his hand, he faintly looked forward to it. I don't know who his mother, Morgan, will give that sword to?
It's the Ag Gui ...... Or Gareth? As for Gahoris, it's definitely impossible, that guy's talent is really a little worse.
“……”
"Yes, probably not......"
Swallowing with difficulty, looking at the splashes that had fallen behind their ships, and the three or two banshees still floating on the sea, the captain hurriedly waved his hands and said, and then hurriedly ordered the two sailors to go and extinguish the flames on the cables first, otherwise, it would be a big trouble to burn the sails later!
At the moment of the other party just now, so many monsters hovering above, only three or two could only get lucky and escape in a panic, in this case, the tribe of the harpy is almost extinct, how can they dare to come here to find death?!
Not to mention the trouble of coming to them again, I'm afraid that when I see the flag of their Orkney County in the future, I will avoid it from afar, right?
"That's good, I hope I don't have to hear the sound of that bronze bell again tonight......"
After packing up the strips of linen wrapped around the holy sword as if relieved, Gawain didn't want to say anything more, and prepared to return to his cabin to rest. Because of the moment just now, there was still some load on him, especially when he didn't have a peaceful rest last night.
“!!”
"Ahh
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Prince, I almost bumped into you!"
At this moment, a sailor was holding a barrel of foul-smelling unidentified objects, and he was pinching his nose and coming out of the cabin, almost dousing Gawain.
"What do you bastard do?!"
Fearing that his men would be punished, the captain stepped forward with some dissatisfaction and reprimanded the frizzy sailor first.
"Captain, you can't blame me for this......"
"I don't know if that bastard raised it with paper, he actually went to the food storage warehouse to eat and drink, and he shit and pee everywhere, didn't I just finish cleaning?"
The sailor hastened to explain after throwing the small barrel with the rope attached to it in his hand into the sea and tying it to the guardrail on the edge of the ship.
"Stealing food and excreting in the food storehouse? How could there be such bastards on our ship?! ”
The captain was furious, when sailing, the importance of food and water was self-evident, and it was okay to steal food or anything, but the leopard who ate the bear's heart dared to run to the food warehouse to defecate, and he wanted to die?!
In fact, everyone who and pee must come to the deck, and it is strictly forbidden to be in the cabin, even His Royal Highness the Prince! Not to mention running into the food storehouse, and if you are found, you will have to be whipped and then tied to the mast to dry for three or two days!
"Where do I know?!"
None of them sailors would do that, but not necessarily the knights!
Of course, he, a sailor, would not dare to say this kind of thing, the difference in status between the knight and him as a sailor is too great, and if he dares to say such nonsense, he deserves to be beaten to death!
"There's no way anyone is going to steal food! Could it be that you guys don't work hard, do it yourself, and then make excuses?! ”
There is no limit to the supply when the ship is served, how can anyone go to steal food, and also and pee in the food warehouse? This thing, the captain has been sailing for so many years, which means that it is really rare!
In any case, he will definitely figure out this matter, and then punish the perpetrators severely, at least ten lashes, and then tie them to the mast for a whole day!
"But these days, it's true that there is a lack of food and water for at least two people!"
"If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself!"
The sailor is also a little angry, how could he talk nonsense about this kind of thing?!
“……”
"Captain, take me around, I think I know what is going on......"
Gawain listened for a while, and suddenly realized something, and then his face fell a little and became a little ugly...... Because, he seems to have a rough guess of what the hell is going on.
"Huh? Your Royal Highness, Prince, do you know what's going on?! ”
The captain turned his head in disbelief and looked up and down curiously at this Highness Gawain, who had stayed in his cabin or on the deck all day, how could he know who had done such an ugly thing?
Could it be that the other party did it himself?
But that shouldn't be the case, right? He's seen it, and the other party is the same as them, when they and pee, they all run to a specific place in the stern, take off their pants and reveal what they do, where do they need to run to the cabin?
After all, everyone is a man, and no one has to shy away from anyone.
"This thing ......"
"Forget it, I can't tell you now, you can take me to the food storage compartment to find out."
After thinking about it, Gawain still didn't say it, because ah, he planned to explain it in the genuine author's statement.
