Chapter 457: Green Mountains and Green Waters (53)
Filming looked and saw that he was right, and that there was a fog in front of him that melted into the morning sun.
Filin's fear faded away like a hint of ridicule, but Filin suddenly felt the temperature drop.
And the sunlight that came out of the storm when the clouds dispersed for a moment became a faint and steamy thing, and this lingering evil spirit enveloped the day like a stench.
"Everyone split up and prepared to attack them," Borges said calmly.
"People don't want their fleet to encounter any resistance when they enter port, so hurry up now.
Kaz, you follow the team attacking the Red Ship and wait for the battleship Rox to come ashore and let the people on board know the decision of the people, after quickly taking out the Red Ship, the people need all the warriors and people to surround the outer islanders together.
Filin hoped to find a way to let the Duke of Kirva know what people were doing, but he should find out soon.
Well, people got into action. β
Kev and Foxglove negotiated a plan for a while, but Filin found himself riding behind Foxglove's team in a very short time.
Although he wore a sword, he still missed the axe that allowed him to wield freely during the summer. The actual situation is not as clean as planned. Long before people reach the beach, people collide with the outer islanders in the ruins of the city.
They were about to return to the ship, still tied to a group of captives handcuffed. The people immediately attacked, and some of the robbers fought hard, while others left their captives and fled from the people's horses.
The troops quickly dispersed along the smoky buildings and wreckage-strewn streets of Gee Bay, while some troops stayed behind to help the captives loosen their ties and assist them in any way they could.
At this point, Foxglove cursed the delay in the operation, as the fleeing robbers would inform their fleet guards, so she quickly dispersed her forces, leaving only a few soldiers to help the attacked inhabitants.
The stench of corpses and the rain on the charred wood reminded him of what he had seen and heard in Smelttown, and the vivid sight almost frightened him.
The city was littered with corpses, far more than one might expect, and I felt a wolf wandering through the ruins, and I took some comfort from it.
The fox glove surprisingly scolded the people, and then organized the centaurs around her into a wedge-shaped procession.
As they rushed towards the red boats, one of them was seen sailing into the low tide, but they had no choice but to let it go, but there was still time to prevent the second ship from leaving. People annihilated the enemy on the ship with incredible speed.
There were not many people left on board, only a few oars-paddling crews, and they were killed before they could even kill the captives who were lying on the deck and bound.
It was suspected that the fleeing ship was also loaded with prisoners, so Filin speculated that it might not be possible to have the battleship Rox, or other ships, force the ship that was hiding from the people back to shore as originally planned.
The red ship had sailed away with the hostages, but where would it go? To the ghost ship that only Filin could see? Filin shuddered at the thought of the white ship, and his head began to feel a sudden pressure of illness.
Maybe they want to drown the hostages or smelt them, but that's the inevitable consequence anyway.
At this moment, Fei Lin can't think about it, but Fei Lin will talk to Etro about it. The three red boats that remained on the beach had a squad of soldiers, and they fought as desperately as Borges had expected.
One of the over-spirited archers fired a torch and arrow and burned down a red ship, but the rest of the ships were received intact.
The men had received all the enemy ships when the battleship Rox docked, and he also took advantage of this time to look up at Jieyi Bay, and did not see the white ships, perhaps it was really just a fog.
The battleship Steada arrived immediately after the battleship Rox, followed by a small group of fishing boats and even a few merchant ships.
Most of the boats had to dock at shallow docks, but the crews on board quickly disembarked.
The crew of the battleship waited on the shore for the captain to explain the situation, but the men of the fishing and merchant ships quickly rushed from the people to the besieged castle.
The trained crew of the battleship quickly stopped them from advancing. Even though the people weren't quite a well-organized team, when they came to the castle walls, they were all very cooperative.
The rescued captives were weakened by the lack of food and water, but were soon obliged to tell the people the details of the battle on the outer walls.
By the afternoon, the people had positioned themselves to surround the group of enemies besieging the castle, but Borges still managed to convince everyone to keep at least one battleship full of men on the sea.
This defense of his was in effect the next morning, as the other two red ships appeared cruising at the northern end of the bay, and the Rox immediately met them, but they slipped away easily, which was much to the displeasure of the people.
Everyone knows that robbers will find a village that is powerless to resist and plunder deep along the coast, so even if people
There was little chance of catching up with the slippery red boats, but there were still a few fishing boats chasing after them.
People wait for two days and start feeling bored and restless. The weather was starting to turn bad again, the hard bread was hard to swallow as if it was moldy, and the dried fish was getting wet.
In order to make people happy, the Duke of Kerva raised the stag flags of the five principalities alongside his own swallowtail flags, and thanked the people by fluttering the flags, but he also chose the same strategy as the people.
The people surrounded the outer islanders, and they did not intend to break through the people's defenses, nor did they go any further than the castle. Both sides were waiting.
"You don't listen to warnings, you never listen. Borges whispered to Filin.
At nightfall, people gather for the first time after arriving. He sat on a log and stretched his injured leg forward, while he curled up in front of the campfire to try to warm his hands.
Sitting outside a makeshift tent for the queen guarding the smoky campfire, Borges had wanted her to stay in the undestroyed buildings of the city, but she refused, instead insisting on staying with her warriors;
Her guards also moved freely between her makeshift lodgings and campfires, and their closeness made Borges frown, but he was quite sure of her loyalty.
"Your father is like that, too. He said suddenly as Floya's two guards stepped out of her tent to change shifts with the guards outside.
"Ignoring the warning?" Filin asked in surprise.
Borges shook his head. "I just don't listen.
His soldiers were always walking around him from time to time, and I always wondered where he could get the opportunity to let this child into this world with such no privacy. β
Filin's expression must have been shocked, as Borges suddenly blushed.
"I'm sorry, he's tired, and Filin's legs...... It was also quite uncomfortable, so Fei Lin blurted out without thinking. β
Filmin smiled unexpectedly. "It doesn't matter. "That's exactly what happened.
When he found Nighteye, he was afraid that he would banish Filmin again, so I was happy to make even an embarrassing joke.
"You just said the warning?" Filin asked humbly.
He sighed. "As you say, that's what people do, and that's what it says.
Sometimes they don't let you make a choice at all, they just have a tie in with you. β
There was a dog barking in a corner of the darkness, but it wasn't quite a dog, and Borges glared at Filin again.
"I had absolutely no control over it. Filin admitted.
I can't control you either. Why does one party have to control the other?
"It doesn't shy away from intimate conversations, either. He added.
"It's the same with other private matters. Borges said nonchalantly, sounding like a clichΓ©.
"I thought you never had to...... It. Fei Lin didn't even dare to say the words "intellectual origin" out loud here.
"I don't use it because it's not good. Filmin can now tell you what Filmin said before, it's ...... will change you. If you can't give in to it, let it live with you all the time, and even ignore it, at least don't seek it, don't become a ......"
"Borges?"
People both jumped. It turned out that the fox glove had quietly come out of the darkness and was standing on the other side of the campfire. How much dialogue did she hear?
"What's the matter?
She crouched down in the dark, raised her red-gloved hands close to the campfire to keep warm, and sighed. "Film, I don't know what Fillin is supposed to ask that? Do you know she's pregnant?"
Borges and Filin looked at each other. "Who?" he asked calmly.
"I have two small children myself, and most of her guards are women. She vomits every morning, supported only by dangling leaf tea, and even the sight of salted fish makes her stomach sick. She shouldn't have stayed here for a life like this. Fox Glove nodded toward the tent.
Oh, Queen Valiant.
Shut up.
"She didn't ask people's opinions. Borges said cautiously.
"The situation here is under control, and there's no reason why you shouldn't send her back to Fort Buck. Fox Gloves said calmly.
"I can't imagine sending her back anywhere," Borges said, "and Filin thinks it's up to her to decide." β
"You can advise her. Fox Glove further proposed.
"You can too. Borges replied. "You're the captain of the guards, and that's supposed to be your concern. β
"I didn't stay at her door all night. Fox Glove objected.
"Maybe that's what you should. Borges said, then lightened the mood with a "now you know."
Fox gloves staring at the campfire. "Maybe that's how Filin should be. So, now the question is, who is going to accompany her back to Fort Bucks?"
"All her personal guards, of course. The queen was supposed to go on the road under the escort of these men, and not one of them should be left behind. β
