Chapter 44: Flying over the Thunderstorm

At that moment, Sue's sanity collapsed, and he completely gave up self-control. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Whether it was the priest or the two stupid boys beside him, they had been repeating the so-called prophecy since the outsider came, over and over again, as if the so-called gods had really said it.

But the gods never appeared, never spoke, and did not have any dealings with mortalsβ€”the words were spoken by the priests.

It was a war, and Sue was hopelessly convinced that only he clearly recognized it, that the outsiders were beasts that crawled out of hell to fight with them for the land, and that there was no possibility of peace between them.

Sue stood in front of Francis, looking down at his face.

Francis looked up, a smile on his face, but a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart - no native had ever stared at his face like this for so long.

It was the face of a beast, or a devil or something, or at least he wasn't human, Sue was sure of that.

Then he raised the obsidian machete in his hand.

Blood splattered, the man's howl overflowed with the smell of blood, and the rainforest, which pretended to be asleep, woke up in an instant.

Francis stumbled and ran for his life, he was not injured, but his hands were tightly tied together, and it was very difficult to move in the complex rainforest on the ground.

But when death comes, it doesn't matter.

Sue kicked away the warrior who had pounced on Francis at that moment and stabbed him for him, avoiding the blood spreading on the ground, and rushed towards Francis, who was running wildly.

But he was blocked, and the remaining young man rushed up, the weakling who was always cheating and tricking in training could not have defeated Sue, but it was enough to entangle him to keep Francis out of Sue's sight.

Sue angrily beheaded the young warrior who had been disgruntling him for too long, then glanced back at the rainforest creatures gathered around the fire, and turned to chase in the direction Francis had left.

The distance that people in the rainforest can reach is very short, and Francis has completely disappeared behind the turquoise vegetation, but the hunters who live here have long since adapted to such a narrow field of vision, and Sue is the best among them.

When a beast rushes out of its territory, its footprints cannot be hidden.

The hunt began.

......

The Holy Trinity flag of the Holy See fluttered in the sea breeze, the eagles controlled the airship and staggered down on the island, and the characteristic smell of the rainforest came from the middle of the land.

It was a real outpost for the New Crusaders and a supply point for the Holy See, which Francis took for the Holy See and proudly named it the "Holy Trinity Islands".

The archipelago has a unique shape, with three islands surrounding the large island in the center, forming an iconic triangle – the same as the Holy See's Trinity symbol.

There is no doubt that all believers in Scientology see this coincidence as an apocalypse, which inspires all those involved in the war.

But at least for now, they don't see any hope of victory.

The New Crusaders had organized a large expeditionary fleet with a destination thousands of miles to the south, their supply lines stretched to deadly length, and all at sea, almost crumbling.

The Holy See miraculously kept it from rushing to a total collapse, and so far they have been successful, but not without a price - like they didn't bother with Magellan or something.

Magellan carefully hid in the airship and waited for the Hawkman to complete the supply, so far they did not have a plan in shape, but the Hawkman was full of confidence, and Magellan could only go with the flow.

The royal purchaser of the king of the world introduced the eagle man to a cardinal of the Holy See who controlled the islands, and they showed great familiarity with each other, and the eagle man was well resupplied and recuperated, ready to go.

But when Wen gave the order to go, Magellan stopped him.

"How far has the war gone?"

Hawkman wasn't interested in that, but the islands were almost full of news about the war, and he heard a lot of rumors, presumably that there was no progress.

"The New Crusaders lost a few hundred men in the southwestern coastal rainforest, including Francis, and now they are leading a Holy Spirit who doesn't know whose one to land on the coast without rainforest......"

"And then everyone knows nothing about things on land, and you want to overtake the vanguard of the Holy See and enter the unknown territory?"

Wen shook his head and sighed: "If we walk behind the Holy See, then the Eagle's Nest will not have our share, and the king of the world will not be satisfied." ”

Magellan was silent for a moment and said nothing more.

After leaving the archipelago, they enter the real unknown, the eagle in the glass cover of the airship decides the direction of the way, the navigator decides the specific route, and after crossing a sea area, they can see the rainforest that the new crusaders have returned.

It was a desperately green patch.

The Holy See did not use airships to reconnoitre, because it was a wasteful act to carry them across the ocean, but they had miraculously seen the scenery above the rainforest.

It was an endless sea of green, with rolling waves, no wind but a sound, and there was not the slightest gap between the greens.

It was that landscape that made the New Crusaders choose to venture south in search of a possible landing site.

"According to the Holy See's description, there lived a group of savage natives, and although they had triumphed over the vanguard of the New Crusaders, most of the reason was more familiar with the environment. ”

"So you think they're going to worship airships like barbarians, or at least they won't have the ability to attack us. ”

There is no doubt in Magellan's words, he simply narrates, because he knows that all eagle men think so.

"One of the very few defeats of the King of the World is the surprise attack of the airship, and now only the airship and the essence can touch the airship in the world. ”

"Hope we're as safe as you think we're doing. ”

"We will. ”

The airship entered the rainforest, and the hot and humid air currents were unbearable, but the eagle man was overjoyed, a rare illusion conducive to flight.

The sun walked listlessly behind the gray clouds, and everything was so perfect except for the scorching heat.

Magellan was the only one of them who was less optimistic about the rest of the journey, but he was also not so pessimistic.

So when the thunderstorm came in the evening, everyone was very surprised.

The water vapour condensed almost at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the originally harmless high, thin clouds tumbled downward and thickened into extremely dangerous cumulonimbus clouds, and the sky was dark, with only the occasional flash of thunder.
