Chapter 41: The Beginning of the War
In an accident that surprised everyone, the airship disappeared into the sky with half of the treasures of the Brittany royal family, and it is extremely strange that in this accident, the eagle's nest did not take anyone with it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Enraged, Lutwig executed a number of people, but everything was irreparable.
For the next ten years, the Eagle's Nest remained a legend, with countless people describing the treasure of the airship as if they had seen it with their own eyes, and the conspiracy behind its disappearance, with the King himself being the victim of being kept in the dark.
Then the legend gradually turned into a fact.
Almost all of the big names were involved in the accident, and no one knew the inside story, but at least, all the forces admitted, either explicitly or implicitly, that the secret war between them had caused the situation to spiral out of control, and that the accident was an accident that caught everyone off guard.
Most people don't care about that, and when Magellan was an explorer, everyone talked about the Eagle's Nest and was referring to a treasure far away from you, just as precious as it was from you.
For Arthur, the only thing that stood in his way from finding the Eagle's Nest was the reluctance to live comfortably, and he could not find a reason for Magellan to refuse the Eagleman's invitation.
"Do you think I should jump into a more complex and dangerous vortex for the sake of a treasure ship that sank in the whirlpool?"
"No, no, no, I just recommend you to go on an adventure and succeed and get your hands on an amazing treasure. Arthur smiled and sat on the handrail of the stairs and slid down, "Heroes are born to do this kind of thing. ”
"I don't have anything to do with heroes. ”
"Your pride in thinking that you were born different, but not as noble as anyone else...... I can't think of anyone more like you than the prince who saved the world in the story. Go save the world, hero. ”
Magellan smiled: "If you are really so kind, at least save me from the ocean of philosophy first." ”
"I'm sorry, but I wouldn't be stupid enough to make the countess angry. ”
......
The theologians of the Holy See, who are usually devout believers, may be the most insane heretics, but in reality the faith in science in the hearts of these old men is the purest and most determined.
Despite this, Magellan still did not like them.
In order to understand the existence of the old gods, the countess found these theologians to study, and Magellan had reason to believe that it was through the relationship of the king of the world, Helen enjoyed it, and she gained something new every day, but Magellan was almost losing patience.
When the lesson was over, Sir Cook smiled and walked towards the pious theologian, and Magellan sighed and walked out of the classroom, absent-minded, not even noticing the countess following him.
"You've escaped three hunters by snoozing here, a dozen different groups of adventurers, Professor Magellan, and you're still depressed despite this......"
The countess was undoubtedly satirizing Magellan with this obscure idiom, which she had recently indulged in, and Sir Cook was overjoyed at it, and privately asked Magellan to do it again and again.
"I ......"
"You're wasting your time, yes. The countess smiled and leaned against the handrail of the stairs, she liked to dress up as a man when she came to the college, which made Helen look like he had taken all his parents' favored brother from Magellan, "Go find the eagle's nest." ”
"Why?"
"The birthday of the king of the world is approaching. ”
"If you really need ......"
"I really need to. ”
Magellan smiled helplessly: "As you wish." ”
......
The Imperial Council is over.
The King of the World rarely spends time on serious matters of state, except for something really important, and most of the time she prefers to be with Morning Star, or to have a cocktail dinner, or, as now, simply walk through the scenic promenade of the Summer Palace.
"I heard that the eagle's nest is in the New World. ”
"Indeed, a royal purchaser who has many friends among the Brittan eagles has confirmed. ”
"I want the black pearl that the Bretanian ancestors got from the sea more than the essence rough that everyone wants, and let them send it when the army of the Holy See finds the eagle's nest. ”
"Yes...... If it is not used to grind into powder. ”
The king of the world smiled.
......
The war began.
The sailors stayed quietly on board, listening to the sound of the waves far away from the deadly native spears on the shore, and although an army of three hundred men was wiped out in the rainforest, marking the total annihilation of the five hundred outposts led by Francis, it did not mean that the reconnaissance operation was a failure.
At a time when 10,000 men fought to the death against 10,000 men for the power to take the land from a million people, the death of 500 was only the beginning of a simple one, at most a proclamation, not even an important one.
Francis's fate is uncertain and his whereabouts are unknown, and the Holy See will not abandon him, but it will not change its strategy in order to find him.
And the Crusaders had a truly outstanding military commander - a well-decorated Holy Spirit.
No one knew who he was, but the army was under his command.
The sailors stood quietly on the deck, watching the tall sailing ships pass by, the white sails stretching to the place where the sea and the sky meet, as if the Crusades had reappeared hundreds of years ago.
This is indeed another crusade of holy war, the Holy See is more powerful than anyone could have imagined, and the feats they will accomplish are unprecedented.
The fleet marched south, and the sailors reluctantly raised their sails and joined the queue.
This was the only correct strategy, and the colder parts of the south would have open shores where rainforests could not grow, giving the Crusaders of the Holy See room to form and avoid dangerous plagues.
The sailors comforted themselves with the clean, cool water of the river, and if the son of a sea mother abandoned his captain, this reason might be the only way to avoid punishment...... Excuse.
But they were thirsty.
The wind whistled the sails, and the sailors began to sing the ship's song.
The sound of the wind blowing through the white sails and the sound of the waves, they still had a long way to go.
"John rode down the hill on a white horse,
In the castle kept his bride,
Hey, hey,
The Pope is going to the East, where the blessings are long,
Hey, hey,
John walked quickly, there was still a long road in front of him. ”
The sea breeze blows the long sound of trumpets, the crusaders assemble in the desert by the coast, their armor reflects the sun like a silver sea, the knights hold their spears high, the swallowtail flag flutters overhead, and opposite them is a horde of infidels waiting for them, clad in chain mail, riding camels and brandishing scimitars.
Everyone felt like they had traveled back in time to that battlefield.
But they were wrong.
A white cloud rests on the shore, lazily looking down at the rainforest.
