Chapter 814: A Strong Return
From late spring to early summer, Yves Saint Laurent is sunny and full of birds.
The Ancient Spear sailed like an eagle in the white clouds, and Hu Tao lay on the railing, looking down on the blue sea.
This is the best tourist season of the year, so the coastal waters are full of cruise ships, plus fishing boats going out to sea, densely dotted, a happy scene.
"As a citizen of the Nine Great Empires, I am really happy!"
Su Ya sighed, although the fight between the great empires is a world war, but generally no one dares to provoke it, unlike those second- and third-rate countries, where there are constant disputes every day, especially where ethnic and religious contradictions are becoming more and more intense, it is simply a powder keg, exploding every day.
"Not necessarily!"
Juliet pursed her lips, she was a native of Saint-Gerdeland, but she had a hard time, as for laziness, her father might be, but her mother only slept five hours a day, but she still couldn't fill her stomach.
The black-handed dwarves have never been out of the underworld, so looking at this qiē, they all feel extraordinarily fresh, and there are some people who are allergic to sunlight, but after Xia Luo's treatment, it has eased up a lot.
Seeing the sun again after a year should have felt a refreshing feeling that the dark clouds had disappeared overhead, but Downton had a gloomy face and had been in the captain's cabin for two days and two nights.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Downton leaned back in his chair, holding a cup of tea that had long since cooled, and stared intently at the map of Frankfurt hanging on the wall, marked with bright red crosses in several key parts of the West.
"Something?"
Downton glanced at it. Twilight is found to be silent and stopped.
"Hmm!"
Twilight nodded slightly.
"Are you leaving?"
Downton knows who Twilight is looking for, and time is tight, after leaving the underground. She didn't leave immediately, obviously hesitating whether to help her defend herself against foreign enemies.
Twilight is silent.
"It's okay, it's just some miscellaneous fish, and it can't beat my western border. Downton stood up and explained Twilight, "Maybe by the next time we meet, I'll be the new King of the West." ”
"Leave at this time. I'm really sorry, but I don't have time to waste. ”
Twilight is in pain and leaves her friend when she is in danger. This is too shameless, but she has only a handful of time left, and if she can't catch up, the entire empire will be destroyed.
"Shh
Downton placed his left index finger to his lips. Motioning for Twilight to silence.
"You say so. Believe me, next time I will invite you to the Royal Palace in Frankfurt as a host. ”
"Well, I'll just say one thing, don't be king too early, the king of a third-rate country is the same as if it wasn't right. But if you wear the title of a kingkiller, you will never be able to blend in with high society. Any king instinctively loaths this kind of sinner. ”
Twilight admonishes sincerely.
"What do you mean?"
Downton frowned.
"With your ability, it will not be a problem to secure a territory in the north, and when it is enough to build a second-rate empire, you will become king. ”
Twilight hesitates, not saying the words 'I'll help you then'.
"You really think of me!"
Downton shrugged his shoulders.
"The Western Earth Continent is facing great changes, and every 10,000 years, there will be a holy war, and now there are all kinds of signs that the evil god is resurrected, and his subordinates are already ready to move, I believe that in less than ten years, the entire continent will rekindle the flames of war, and when the time comes, it will be the time for the continent pattern to be redivided!"
Twilight states that there is another reason why she does not help Downton, and that is the test, if he can't even cope with this level of war, then it is better to quit sooner, otherwise he will not be the only one who will die if he is involved in the holy war, as well as his men and subjects.
"Well, I'll try!"
Downton nodded.
"So, I'm leaving!"
Twilight is a very simple person and opens the window casually.
"Didn't you say goodbye to Hu Tao?"
Downton walked over.
"No!" Twilight jumped out of the window, and after a few breaths, a three-headed Chimera resurfaced with her on her shoulder, "Downton, I wish you good luck and prosperity!"
After a heroic military salute, Twilight flicks the reins, turns and flies away, quickly disappearing into the sky.
"What a good girl, if it were me, hold her in the palm of your hand!"
The cheap god looked at Twilight's departing back and sighed again, although Sissi was not bad, but she admired Twilight more, because Sissi's strength, even if her father was helping, it would only add hundreds of years to her lifespan, while Twilight was different, she could climb above the legend, or even pursue higher.
"Is there a rank above the legend?"
Downton was surprised.
"Of course, but you can't hear what I said, this is the power of the law, so work hard to cultivate, only then can you see more beautiful scenery. ”
The cheap god sighed.
Downton didn't have time to listen to the sadness of the cheap gods, and he was still hurrying to study the map and formulate emergency tactics, but less than half an hour after entering the airspace of Saint Laurent, a team of griffon cavalry appeared behind the Ancient Spear, asking the crew to identify themselves.
Although invading the airspace is an excesses that will lead to war, it is definitely not a miscellaneous fish that can afford to buy floating battleships, so the flying cavalry maintains the proper etiquette.
"The owner of this ship is the Duke of the Westlands of Frankfurt, Lord Downton!"
Su Ya replied proudly,
"This mouthy guy!"
Downton frowned, he knew that his identity had no weight in front of the Great Empire, and if he didn't do it, he would cause the other party to covet it, and then snatch the battleship.
"A little duke of a third-rate country?"
"Tsk, if you can have a battleship, your strength shouldn't be bad, right?"
"The strength is not bad and it can't change the fact that it is a third-rate country, hurry up and report it, and do you want to detain this battleship?"
There were very few flying cavalry in all countries. So the status is very high, and they look at the battleship again, and there is no longer awe. But it is full of possessiveness, and if you dedicate the battleship to the generalissimo, you will definitely be able to increase the rank and rank of knight.
"This battleship is so beautiful!"
The cavalrymen blocked the way, admiring the battleship, almost drooling.
This is the flagship of the barbarian king Tanan the Great, and the shape naturally needs not be said. It shows domineering and grandeur.
"My sister's mentor is Andrea of the Guise family, do you know each other?"
Downton stepped onto the deck, grimacing. "In addition, this is the chief of the guard of Princess Sisi of Bavaria, this time by the way!"
The chief of the guard took out his identity plate and shook it, serving in the royal family. Naturally, he knew the bad habits of these soldiers. If there is an opportunity to make money and increase officials, I will never let it go.
Sure enough, when they heard Downton report his identity, the cavalrymen's expressions immediately became a lot more respectful, and they didn't dare to look around, but they didn't doubt the authenticity of these words, look at the dwarf soldiers on the deck, the elite are deadly. The average person can't afford it.
"All you have to do is sign this pass and you're leaving!"
The cavalry captain hesitated. Or decided to let it go, be careful, the Guise family, you can't afford to mess with yourself.
"Juliet, you go and sign!"
Seeing the captain fall on the deck, Downton gave a command, and turned back to the captain's room.
The captain didn't feel underestimated, the big guys had this temper, and if Downton greeted him with a smile, he would feel suspicious.
"What a young duke!"
"Male, it must be a hereditary family child, if it weren't for the glory of their ancestors, they would definitely eat now, then there is a chance to do battleship tourism!"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and report to the local head of the Guise family to confirm the identity of that Downton. ”
The cavalry were talking, one team left, the other followed the battleship, and it was necessary to make sure that they left the airspace of Saint Laurent as soon as possible.
......
In the mud chain town of Frankfurt West, thick smoke billowed and screams continued, a team of bandits laughed and set fire to and looted, and the back of the war horse under the crotch was full of looted supplies.
"Commander, will there be any trouble? I heard that there is a barbarian army in the western border, and it is very capable of fighting. ”
"Not only that, but there are many hill natives, all of them are ogres, and I don't know what method the Duke of the West used to make them bow down. ”
Now that the troops of the western frontier are deployed on the border line, guarding against the king's army and the northern army, and the hinterland is defended by the sky, I am sorry for the favor of Lady Luck if I don't take the opportunity to make a windfall. ”
A group of robbers were noisy and excited, these few days, but the happiest time in years, the western realm had a bumper harvest, so they robbed their waists full.
"It's just that those village girls are a little worse, and they really want to play with a few aristocratic chicks!"
"Why don't we attack the noble mansion?"
"If you want to die, don't pull us in, anyway, if you have money, it's a big deal to go to the tavern to find dancers with fine skin and tender meat to spend, and no one will stop you after playing a few Ps." ”
The robbers are not stupid, the nobles have private armies, no matter how few, they will kill people if they are defeated, or rob the safety of civilians.
In previous years, the commoners were poor, and the robbers had to take risks to attack the nobles in order to get more money, but this year is different, and it is enough to rob the commoners who have a lot of gold coins in their pockets.
"Commander, what's that?"
The robbers giggled, and one of them walked into the barn with a snatched girl in his arms, ready to make a shot, but suddenly froze, as a huge shadow streaked across the ground and then over his head.
The other robbers also subconsciously looked up, and then saw a huge battleship stop above.
"Damn, drop the altitude and destroy them for me!"
Downton took the monocular and witnessed what happened in the town, his face darkened with anger, and he couldn't wait for the battleship to descend, so he couldn't wait to jump over the side of the ship.
"This is the airship that only those wealthy nobles can afford to buy, right?"
"Looks like someone jumped off?"
The robbers were still looking, and suddenly found a person falling, all of them were startled, and then they were about to go over to pick up the corpse to see if they could make a windfall, and they found that a pair of orange-red flame wings suddenly unfolded behind the person, and in the dazzling sunlight, it was gorgeous and incomparable.
