Chapter Fifty-Eight: Change
"Your Highness, do you hear me? Green won! He won. On the king's seat, a red-haired little Lori was standing in the stands and shouting with joy.
Victoria looked at her little maid's excited face, and said helplessly, "All right, Maria! The girl must learn to be reserved, reserved, you know?
In fact, Victoria was also nervous just now, although Green received more applause, but according to the rules, it was not as loud as Rael's receiving. Thankfully, the chorus that followed turned the tide completely.
"But Green's poetry is really good! Your Highness, I didn't expect him to be so talented. Mary glanced back, then mischievously, "You won't forget about Mary when you're with him anymore." ”
Victoria's face immediately turned red, and she reached out and pulled the little maid who wanted to hide behind Freya to her side, struck her on the head with a knife and said, "Hitch, you little guy is really open-mouthed. ”

With the end of the chorus, there is no doubt that the champion of this pro-selection contest is undoubted.
King Harald looked at Green on one knee with a smile and was about to officially announce the championship of the tournament when he suddenly heard the audience in the arena exclaim.
"Odin, is that the Gustav leader of the Tomahawk tribe?"
"What's going on? Where is the war?"
"I've heard that a group of pirates from the Southern Continent has attacked their island. ”
"It's impossible! They haven't crossed the Sea of Mist for hundreds of years..."
"Those people in the southern continent are as docile as sheep, how can they ......"
Several guards carried Gustav, covered in blood, to the stage.
Harald couldn't care about anything else, he hurried up to meet him, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? What about the others?"
"Your Majesty, the warriors of the Tomahawk tribe have been wiped out, and we have only found the leader of Gustav lying in a small boat at sea. ”
King Harald was also alarmist about what Grimm said that day, but as the day passed, the Tomahawk tribe seemed to have disappeared without any news. He couldn't help muttering in his heart, so he sent someone to check it, but he didn't expect to bring back such news now.
"What about the pirates?" asked the shocked King Harald.
The guard, apparently not knowing where the enemy had gone, shook his head in confusion and before he could answer, he saw that Gustavjarr, who had been unconscious, had opened his eyes.
"Black... Black Crow... Report... Revenge..."
Gustav struggled to reach out and grab King Harald's sleeve and spoke in a chop, and then his eyes quickly lost their looks.
"Damn, they're heading towards Crow Island. When a bearded-bearded, pigtailed tribal leader heard these words, he immediately shouted excitedly.
"I'm going to rush back right away. Hyde, the leader of the Crow Tribe, turned around with an ugly look on his face, but after taking a few steps, he stopped and said, "Your Majesty, I need more men." ”
The Vikings had always been a soldier when they were fighting, and men of the right age who could pick up a sword could participate.
So when they heard that a pirate had attacked their homeland, all the Viking warriors of the Tomahawk tribe immediately took up their arms and hurried back in small boats.
It's just that now none of the thousands of people have come back, so you can imagine how fierce those enemies really are......
****
"Green, now you can re-tell everyone what you know about the pirates, and their new weapons. ”
Due to an unexpected situation, the contest ended in a hurry.
When King Harald returned to the palace with a group of tribal leaders, he immediately summoned Grimm to the council hall as well.
Hyde, the leader of the Crow Tribe, had been stopped by him at this moment.
Since almost none of the people of the tribe are on the island, it is actually of no use to go back now except to die in vain. As for the goods and food, it is clear that life is more important.
Green looked around at the leaders of his tribes with different eyes, thought for a moment and said, "There are about one or two thousand of these pirates in the Southern Continent, although there are not many of them, but their weapons are very advanced. ”
"Those cannons were made of copper and iron, and they were huge and bulky, but they were powerful. They can fire solid iron bullets, chain bullets connected to iron chains, flowering bullets filled with iron nails and iron pellets that can explode, and so on. They have a longer range than trebuchets and have a faster rate of fire. With just one cannonball hit, a Viking boat like ours can't afford it. ”
"And they also have magic crystal guns that can be fired in their hands, a weapon that not only has the penetration of a crossbow, but also has the range of a longbow. They can fire continuously with just a constant reload. ”
"Among them, especially their huge sail warships. This behemoth with hundreds of cannons is almost a mobile war fortress on the sea, and according to the way we Vikings fight now, it is almost impossible to win. ”
"So we don't have the chance to defeat them now?" King Harald asked after a moment of silence and then grimm with a solemn expression.
"It's not impossible!" Green said, touching his chin, "although their warships are powerful, they can't drive to land, and they have a limited range, so as long as we don't engage them head-on, we have no problem protecting ourselves." After all, they have a limited number of people and can't do much. ”
"Hehe, and then we watched them burn, kill, and loot in our homeland, and after robbing one tribe, then go and rob another?" Rael's father, Orod Yar, interjected with a sneer, "This is the sign of weakness!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we must act now, or the pirates will surely rob the entire kingdom of Navia. Hyde, the leader of the crows, immediately chimed in.
"yes, we have to let those pirates know how good we are, or they'll definitely continue to rob us. ”
"Let's go! those who are greedy for life and afraid of death should stay!"
......
Listening to the leaders shouting with their own hearts, Green pursed his lips and said, "I haven't finished talking about it just now, in fact, we can completely defeat them with dragons. ”
"Is that your black dragon who only knows how to eat fish?" said Orodyjall, sneering, "Who was saying that the enemy's weapons are strong and the ships are strong?"
"We can tame more dragons at all! As long as we have air superiority, they won't be our opponents. Green ignored the taunt from the leader of the Thor tribe, who allowed himself to rob someone else's son of the championship.
"Hmph, but the enemy won't give you much time at all. Now that they have set out for Crow Island, they will continue to plunder as long as they realize our weakness. ”
"Who said ...... needed"
Before Grimm could finish his sentence, King Harald interrupted him and said, "All right, stop fighting these pointless things! ”
King Harald frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "The adult men of the Tomahawk tribe have all been killed in battle, and Dragontongue Island now needs a new leader. ”
"Whoever defeats those enemies this time will be the new Yar of Tattaji. ”
