There are many masts and thousands of sails. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With Qiao Haier's order, the large and small spinnakers were spread out in unison, and the ships left the port in an orderly manner, assembled in the open sea, and sailed towards the land of the Tang people.

The sight of more than 400 ships, large and small, lined up together, was extremely awe-inspiring.

It is difficult to see such a spectacular scene in the history of the whole of Europe several times.

The merchant ships coming and going were all shocked by the scene in front of them, and the current European national strength is weak. In every way, it cannot be compared with the Great Cannibal.

Not to mention the advanced technology of sea vessels.

In the entire Mediterranean region today, except for the Tang people, who have advanced skills and can build large sea ships, only the Great Eclipse people have such technology.

However, the ability of the Great Cannibal to build sea ships is far from being comparable to that of the Tang people.

However, the Great Cannibal believes that he will be able to achieve victory. Just looking at the sight of thousands of sails gave them great confidence.

……

Europe!

From the nobles and monarchs to the merchants and commoners, their eyes were also focused on this war.

Rome!

The current Pope Benedict VII is looking at a document in his hand, a document on the war between the Great Cannibals and the Don!

After a long time, he sneered again and again: "The war between the infidels and the infidels has been fought well. Looking out the window, he seemed to see the Mediterranean: "It's better to die all of them, that's the best!" ”

"John, what's wrong with you?"

Benedict VII looked at the restless young priest and asked suspiciously.

John said: "His Majesty the Pope, but the people of Europa, have responded to support the Don! ”

"Support the Dons?"

Benedict VII frowned and muttered, "What are these fools going to do?" ”

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the current male monarch of the Tang people, his eyes ......"

"Oh!"

Benedict VII suddenly realized: "Golden eyes, eyes of the gods...... It is really ...... that such eyes appear in a pagan country, and there is a strong greed hidden in the eyes.

As religious people, they know better than anyone else that God does not exist. It's just that they are all at the level of actors, using religion to control people's hearts, and then control the secular regime, so as to capture more selfish desires for themselves.

The pope of the Middle Ages, whose power was quite appalling, was most famous in the historical case of 'The Disgrace of Canossa'.

In January 1077, Emperor Henry IV braved the snow and cold to kneel down at Canossa Castle in northern Italy to 'confess his sins' to Pope Gregory VII, who gave him a kiss on the forehead to show forgiveness after three days and three nights.

It can also be seen how deeply rooted religion was in the hearts of the people during the Middle Ages.

Of course, the current Pope Benedict VII has not yet reached the heights of his successor, Gregory VII. But even so, the power of the pope is quite appalling.

It can be said that in the Middle Ages, the struggle between kingship and divine power was going on. It was not until the 16th century that the English Reformation established the 'supremacy of royal power', but its impact on the people was inescapable.

……

And now, about the golden eyes of the Tang monarchs, in myths and legends, golden eyes are possessed only by gods. Therefore, it is widely believed throughout Europe that a person with golden eyes is the reincarnation of a god. It can also be understood how deeply ingrained religion is in Europe. Even if the upper classes do not approve of it, they cannot completely veto the will of the people.

As a result, some countries, such as those within the Shinrikyo sphere of influence, began to formally form a support army to support the Tang people against the Great Cannibals.

After all, compared to a complete pagan like the Great Cannibal, it is still the Tang people who are more cordial. After all, the Tang people did not initially plague all of Europe, and the monarch of the Tang people, with their golden eyes, and the sacredness of the divine family, also maintained a fairly strong influence in Europe.

Another point is that Europe generally does not think that the Tang people will lose, or even if they lose, they will not lose too ugly. Otherwise, there will be no one to uphold and respect the Holy Land, to the Holy Family.

At the same time, several missions began to march towards the capital of the Tang people.

……

In Tangzhou, the warships of the Tang people are being assembled, except for some warships that are too small to stay behind to defend against pirates. Most of the large warships and necessary supply ships left the port and assembled for Huazhou (Sicily).

As an island nation, it is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and all three islands are surrounded by the sea except for the Kyushu region (Naples), which borders on the mainland.

Well, the first step in defeating the country is to get rid of its naval forces.

Unlike the size of the navy of the Great Cannibals, the size of the ships of the Don is undoubtedly at a disadvantage! There are only more than 100 large and small ships plus supply ships, and compared with the ships of the Great Cannibals, which have a total of more than 400 ships, the Tang people have an obvious disadvantage. However, war is not determined by numbers alone.

Historically, there have been countless cases where less is more.

In the classical era, King Xerxes I of Persia led a conquest of Greece, while King Leonidas of Sparta led 300 warriors to resist at Thermopylae. More than 20,000 Persian troops were killed, and finally 300 died heroically.

Therefore, the number of troops is indeed superior, but it is not absolute.

The Tang people were not afraid that there were more ships than themselves, but they were confident that their tactics and martial arts that they had cultivated day and night would definitely be able to protect their homeland and repel the invasion of the great cannibals. In the same way, all the Tang people also understand that this war will establish their hegemony and status in the Mediterranean, and it will also be a battle to establish dignity!

……

In this way, seven days passed, and on the morning of the eighth day, the patrol ships of the Don discovered the Great Cannibal warship in the Ionian Sea. As the beacon tower burned to warn, the main force of the Tang people knew where the enemy was. More than 100 ships rushed towards the Ionian Sea, ready to snipe enemy ships.

……

On a tall dragon-headed ship, Ajert, the current monarch of the Don is on this command ship.

"Your Majesty, you really don't need to come along! Enough to have us! ”

Wallace, dressed in a black robe, is a wizard and a mentor at the Green Jade Academy. Now, the country is facing war, and except for a few mentors left behind in the academy, other wizards are on the front line.

"Mr. Wallace, don't underestimate me!"

Ajelt looked at Wizard Wallace with a smile on his lips, he was wearing majestic armor and carrying a sword at his waist! Behind him, a blue tuft fluttered in the wind, with a crown on his head, and stood on the bow of the ship. The king personally went to the front line and fought with the enemy, and the spirit of the Tang soldiers climbed to the extreme.

The golden eyes looked at the distant sea and smiled contemptuously: "The big cannibal was trampled on by my father and broke his backbone!" Don't dare to argue with my father, now that we feel like we're nothing without the Wizard King, now, let these vile cannibals see. Who is the victor in the end, after this battle, will completely establish our hegemony and dignity! ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

With Ajert's battle cry, morale climbed to the extreme in an instant.

"Your Majesty! A large cannibal warship has been spotted ahead! ”

"It's finally here!" Ajelt said secretly, walked up to the first floor and watched, and a dense number of ships appeared on the sea in the distance, not only not afraid, but enthusiastic.

"Fight!"
