Chapter 3: The Fleet That Doesn't Exist (2)

��XII)

October 29, 1666

Phaseport Westport, Republic of Internes (Old Salenpolis)

"It's time to get up. There's something important on today's agenda. ”

He was awakened by a voice as crisp and melodious as the morning sun, but without emotion.

The early morning sun shone through the gauze tent on the young man's face. He rolled over in a daze, subconsciously wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and opened his eyes to the sunlight extremely reluctantly.

Damn, reliving Lennie's memories in his dreams, he thought.

In that dream, there was the smell of blood that can never be forgotten, and the girl who was still fighting with only one arm left.

But he didn't think it was a nightmare.

Because he couldn't see her at all except in his dreams.

After wiping the corners of his eyes, he stood up and walked to the window in the sunlight. The light pierced his sleepiness and made him feel as if he was about to melt.

Looking east from his bedroom window, he can see the symbol of Phase Port.

The phase bridge that crosses the Pratunam Strait reflects a golden-green glow in the morning sun, which hits his eyes.

Outside the window fluttered the red military flag representing the Interre Republic and a large string of heraldic flags dragged underneath it, symbolizing the new owner of this luxurious elven-style building.

Although the southern states became independent from the Holy Korman Empire, the position of heraldic officer not only did not disappear, but the volume of business increased compared to the imperial era.

The coat of arms that was once only possessed by nobles and royal charter organizations now wants to be customized by every councillor, businessman, officer, and company. As long as there are heraldic people, they are hung up whenever they have the opportunity, and the independent gendarmerie is no exception.

The coat of arms on those flags symbolized the "Overseer of the Interres Republic", "Chief Staff Officer of the Interres Army", "Judge of All Free Forces in the Narrow Sea", and "Provisional Governor of Phase Port". Each coat of arms is divided into four quadrants, all of which have their own quadrant for the title holder, depicting the holder's personal coat of arms – structured like the small millet flag on the flags of certain countries in a certain world.

It was a crimson star spread out on a sky-blue background, like a quadrant of blood droplets.

This large string of coats of arms represents the titular ruler of the city, Major Naymen Soleton.

That is, himself.

After the fierce battle at Phase Port, the junta's instructions to clean up the aftermath soon reached the city. The council became a caretaker council, the mayor and the speaker of the council, who were inextricably linked to the rebel tycoon and the Elven Oriental Company, were dismissed, and the port was armed by the independent gendarmes until local elections were resumed.

Along with the new appointments arrived a mountain of orders, returned with a flood of requests, and again by teleportation magic came a clean approval. Dictator Conti Fox gave him almost all the mandates he needed: to form a national army, to collect taxes, to audit the state and city coffers, to promote his staff, to execute criminals...... And so on and so forth.

"It's almost time for breakfast. You'd better not be late. ”

Hearing the memory bank send a reminder in the voice of the girl in his dreams, Naimon couldn't laugh anymore.

"I see. ”

The young major replied casually, putting on his best red military uniform. He hesitated, then tiled "that" crimson one-sleeved military uniform behind him like a cloak as usual, and walked out the door.

Two groups of checkpoints in the stairs have been removed, and they are no longer all official Free Army soldiers serving as guards. Most of the veterans of the gendarmerie have been sent out to suppress lawlessness, recruit soldiers, and take over administrative work, and in their place are newly recruited recruits.

Most of these recruits were women, and most of them were blonde, which seemed to be a strong proof of the rumors in the market. Young blonde girls, dressed in ill-fitting uniforms and somewhat unnaturally touching their pistols, guarded the hallways led by female non-commissioned officers, many of whom were reading aloud with scrolls. Those who are illiterate are learning to read and write, those who can read are learning magic, and those who can do magic are learning the magic of connecting to the magic net.

"Sir. "Your Excellency, Sir. ”

Naimon nodded in return and walked down the stairs with the salute of the officers and soldiers.

Downstairs is the main dining room of the Separate Gendarmerie Command, which is responsible for feeding the more than a thousand officers and soldiers who live around the complex. When it was the dining room of the Elven Minister, it was used as a venue for state banquets, and there was a large and frighteningly long banquet table, on which the Emperor Cleon of the Old Elven Empire was said to have feasted more than 100 guests of half of the Senate.

- Sadly, Naimon only had one breakfast next to this antique.

He pushed open the door to the dining room, where soldiers were swarming to fetch food from the state banquet table, which had been reduced to a buffet table. In the main space of the dining room, small tables that were used to serve as servants were densely arranged, and these tables and simple log chairs were arranged like a phalanx of queues, and each table could seat at least eight people.

According to the regulations of the Free Army, it was not necessary to salute during meals, but people spontaneously saluted them and their commanders...... Then people turned their attention to the corner of the restaurant.

As a few days ago, at an ordinary table in the corner, there were already three young women, and only one seat was deliberately empty. The major took a deep breath, smelled the aroma of food in the cafeteria, and sat down at the table.

- They were the reason why Naimon had moved the big dining table to the corner of the cafeteria.

"Early, Naimon. Métie Croso's greeting was as crisp as her short blonde hair, uncourteous, as natural as a greeting between siblings or longtime friends.

"Good morning, Mr. Soleton. Olia Hugh Kirman, the first princess of the empire under the alias Reeve Numlock, calmly and gracefully greeted him with good morning.

"How early are you, Your Excellency the Overseer?" Zhang Shiyi, one of the most powerful female canal commanders in Hong Kong, greeted with three points of teasing, and the tone had a unique oriental tone of modulation and frustration, with a rising tail note soft, like a tease between lovers.

The three beauties greeted him almost at the same time......

- I don't know at all that a few days ago their men were almost in this restaurant performing full martial arts.

On the first day of moving in, a team of chefs led by Zhang Shiyi's big butler brought six boxes of shiny Green Cow House roast duck, and Méty brought a pair of Intern chefs of the same size, equipped with three buckets of cod. The First Princess of the Empire is the smallest but most luxurious, consisting of a plenipotentiary envoy and three male and female chefs of the Imperial Kitchen level. The entourage of the three parties almost got into a fight over the seats and the type of dishes, and in the end, the result of the negotiation was that Naimen had to eat breakfast three times the amount of lunch.

The final solution was provided by Anne's memory: the entire cafeteria was urgently converted into a style called a "buffet", with the logistics department providing the materials and allowing all the cooks to cook separately to feed the entire headquarters, while the officers and soldiers were free to use their own food. These delicacies greatly boost morale while also solving part of Namen's troubles.

Of course, the problem of having to eat with three ladies for breakfast was not solved. In particular, they don't look quite right today. Before, Naimon pretended not to see it, but after taking his seat, he couldn't pretend not to see it anymore.

"Forget about the Metie, you two ladies' hair ......"

- Zhang Shiyi's honey-colored single ponytail has become much lighter, and it can be seen that it is a wig. As for Princess Olya, her long, straight black hair had turned blonde.

The two looked at each other, looked at each other's hair, and a blush flashed across their faces.

"Cai, didn't I dye my hair for you...... It's weird. Zhang Shiyi flicked his ponytail, "How about this gold? If you don't like it, I can change a few more." ”

Olya's answer was simple and straightforward: "I saw this kind of disguise magic on the magic web, so I tried it. Hope you will like it. ”

A wry smile rose to the corners of Naimon's mouth, and he didn't know how to react. Instead, Mety put down her fork and looked at her neighbors to her left and right, and then she suddenly high-fived her.

"So you two suddenly dyed blonde hair, because you think Naimon likes blonde hair? Namen was looking for a young girl with blonde hair because of his former lieutenant, Miss Sephier, a big blonde beauty. She lost contact with her in the Battle of Lenny, and her whereabouts are unknown......"

Naimon opened his mouth to stop Meti, but found he didn't know how to stop him. Not wanting to listen any further, he grabbed the bread and walked away from the table.

Several ladies noticed the change in his face. Zhang Shiyi tried to reach out and grab the corner of his clothes, but his hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air, Olya half stood up and grabbed his left hand directly, and Metie stopped him in some amazement.

"Well, Naimen, can't I say these things? Isn't Miss Sefir's disappearance known to everyone in the gendarmerie?"

"Hmm. Softly, but firmly, Naimon withdrew his hand, "Please go on, I just have urgent military business. I don't want to hear about myself again, it's rude. ”

He walked briskly out of the dining room and down the stairs, pretending not to feel the sight behind him.

Naimon knew that Meti's statement wouldn't damage his image — at least much better than "a officer with a penchant for blondes." I'm afraid, in the eyes of Olya or Zhang Shiyi, Anne Sefir is just a dead competitor - maybe not even a competitor. This kind of relationship usually earns a few tears and some extra points.

But Naimon did not want to accept such sympathy. Not at all.

He believed, no, he knew Anne was alive. He will find her and restore her memory.

Until then, he didn't want to be sympathized.

The second floor was occupied by the Staff of the Separate Gendarmerie. The staff officers who had finished breakfast were busy around the huge sandbox of the Republic of Intre, and those who had not worked for the time being were napping.

The fleet pieces and troop pieces on the sand table are grouped in groups of three or five, like a diplomatic game set in a specific area. In just a few days, of course, I couldn't make such a fine sand table, and this big sand table was also accidentally seized in the elven legation.

It was only when he actually stood in front of the sand table that he had a slight sense of the danger of the previous situation. Naimon was not a staff officer with a professional background, and even military chess and diplomatic games were only occasionally played—the same thing that Clad López had left in the welfare home, and now I'm afraid it was also burned to ashes.

"No wonder they want to give it a go. If it weren't for the power of the Seventh Fleet, the city, and even the entire Interre, would have changed hands. ”

Green sails representing the Sacred Forest fill the perimeter of the Intre Sea, and the Empire's gray army pieces are placed in various ports. While the full strength of the Free Nations was poured out on the battlefields of Jena and Blenheim, the expeditionary forces of St. Sen and the Reich had occupied seven or eight coastal points. As long as the port of phase is taken again, the territory in the Intre Bay and the Narrow Sea will be united, and the Republic of Intre can only be trapped in the inland counties of the twin islands, and there is no threat at all.

The commander of the Elven Far Sea Fleet, Drayway Mandriel, who commanded the operation, "Interreus" was born in the four major families, and after defeating the Fifth Fleet, he was already a big man in the elven naval sequence, second only to Admiral Churchillas, the commander-in-chief of the Two Seas Fleet. If he achieves this goal, he will become the most successful general of the Holy Forest since the collapse of the Elven Empire.

Thankfully, it's just ifs.

After the army ceasefire, the battlefield of the tripartite contest shifted to the sea. Taking the port of phase and Pylo, the capital of the Republic of Pharthes, as a starting point, the arrows representing the counteroffensive plan filled the Narrow Sea, pointing not only to all the lost territories occupied by the Imperial Expeditionary Force, but also to all the trading posts, ports, and leased territories owned by the Elves and the St. Sen Oriental Company.

No matter how illustrious the name of "Interreus" may be, the free nations have already freed their hands. Looks like it's time to make the elves pay. The ports and merchant fleets looked like fragile eggs, completely exposed to the iron fist of the Free Army and Navy.

"The battle will probably break out when the elves gather a large enough merchant fleet to force a breakthrough, right?"

After standing in front of this sand table for five minutes, this high-spirited passion improved Namen's not-so-good mood.

"Sir, I'm sorry to let me go, but we're going to update the scheduled contact. A staff officer squeezed past him, "Just now there was news from the small fleet of Fates that they have joined the third fleet of the Seventh Fleet and will enter port this morning. ”

"The Fattas fleet?" Naimon subconsciously repeated.

"Yes, they are expected to arrive this morning instead of afternoon due to a nice ride. The staff is updating the schedule," the staff officer pulled out his pocket watch, "the welcome ceremony will be held earlier, and it may be merged with the first transaction on the exchange. ”

Naimon struggled to recall today's schedule from memory, recalling the events mentioned by the staff officer. Every day in Phase Port was like a war - although he had been fighting before, he didn't have so many daily tasks. As the hero of the Fifth Freedom War and the temporary governor of Phase Port, his appearance was worth a few points off the war debt.

"Welcome ceremony...... Ah, yes. My reinforcements, and the lady, are coming. ”

The staff officer was slightly taken aback: "It is rude to mention His Excellency the Supreme Archbishop in this way, sir. I've heard that some of the Phaetes are fanatical. His Excellency the Archbishop has been of great help to us in our local operations. ”

"Oh, thank you, second lieutenant. I'll take notice. ”

said this, but Naimon couldn't get serious. The itinerary of the Archbishop of the Reformation Order, Lord Bonnie Sefir, was drawn up in his bedroom, and this trip was made in order to gain the opportunity to requisition the power of the Protestant orders of Intray. He shifted his mind and began to ask another group of guests.

"And what about our follow-up reinforcements? In a few weeks' time, we should be able to draw men from the less damaged Italian-American runner-up and Fattes armies. ”

"All on the detachment of the Seventh Fleet. However, the number is not large, not more than five hundred. ”

"But they were all officers. It's enough to set up a shelf for two divisions. ”

A free division needs five or six hundred officers of all ranks, and a National Guard division needs two or three hundred. That's good news, Namen thought.

"I hope the general who leads the team won't be too difficult. ”

He didn't care about handing over power, but he also didn't want the Independent Gendarme, a contingent of the hardest soldiers in the Free Army, to be bullied.

Naimon picked up the red chess piece representing the Free Army and placed it in the position of the phase port. After that, he left the hall and headed to the harbor to check the preparations there.

Once a person is busy, time passes very quickly.

After checking all the preparations, and checking in with his subordinates and collaborators from the various ministries to check on the progress and progress, Naimon found himself surrounded by all the leading figures in Phase Harbor, including, of course, his subordinates and female companions in the Overseer's Mansion.

In the words of an Eastern proverb, it is like "a herd of white horses running through a narrow gap......

"But what does time have to do with Hakuba?"

This question seems to have stumped even Anne's memory bank.

While the memory bank was busy searching, Naimon stood on the pier of the Westport, looking out at the shadows of the sails moored in the harbor.

The gun salute roared in the ears, and the huge and bulky four-masted transport ship slowly approached the dock.

The crowd of onlookers burst into cheers at the right time. The people who come here, except for the spies with ill intentions, are basically ordinary people who have an expectation of the Free Army, and anything that can increase the strength of the Free Army will increase their confidence.

Naimon turned his head and waved at the crowd, which erupted in even louder cheers.

"Look, that's the 'Hero of Lennie' who defeated the Emperor!"

"Long live the Free Army and Navy!"

"That's the new master of Phase Port...... It's so young. Isn't it very deceptive on the outside?,I really can't see that it's a guy who has been quietly busy collecting beautiful women for two days after the occupation.。 ”

Of course, such whispers are inaudible to Naimon. Even the deafening cheers, he didn't hear much. All the attention of the young major was focused on the gangway in front of him.

The first to come down the gangway was a gray-haired middle-aged man he was familiar with, Vice Admiral Fisher of the Fourth Detachment of the Seventh Fleet. Marshal Wei of the Seventh Fleet personally led the main fleet to pursue the main force of the St. Sen fleet in Interreus, and handed over the rear to General Fisher, who was in charge of the operation, as usual.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and the formation is not small. Lieutenant General Fischer exclaimed.

Naimon casually said modestly: "It's just trying to maintain." It's hard enough to get the port back up and running. ”

"Looks like everything is going according to our agreement. Who is the specific person in charge?"

"The bank's business is the Krosso family. The affairs of the auction company's property were complicated, and I temporarily handed it over to the Zhang family and three other local nobles, using their talents to deal with it. If you have a need, just talk to them directly. If there are any ships, supplies, or land that the Seventh Fleet needs in particular, you can choose them first in your share. ”

"Then I won't disturb your army's business. ”

Behind the vice admiral was a dark-haired gentleman with two goatees, who looked to be about forty-five or sixteen years old, and wore orange translucent monocles. He wears the green uniform of the Phattes, with a star on his shoulders and a matching silver cross. It's a major general.

Naimon smiled, and first gave a decisive and swift military salute to show friendship, leaving no problem to the other party. The tense expression on the other side was obviously relaxed, and he returned the same firm and neat salute. The two sides clasped hands together and exchanged identities with each other.

"Interim Governor of Phase Harbor, Major Naymen Soleton, Commander of the Intertray. ”

"Former Chief of Staff of the 3rd Free Division, current commander of the 14th Free Division 'All Seas', Major General Dupleix Godehau. I have long admired your name, young Governor. ”

"You're welcome, just call me Major, Your Excellency Major General Gao Huo. ”

Before the war, there were twelve free divisions, and now the remaining three republics are struggling to expand their forces to make up for the shortfalls. The Thirteenth Free Division, codenamed "Miracle", was a unit recruited and formed by Bonnie Sephir as an envoy of the Overseers of Phates. The 14th Free Division, which was to be recruited by General Naimon, was placed behind it, and the Military Council decided to name it "Zhuhai Division" (14thFFDivision "Overseas").

Another officer followed behind Gao Huo. His attitude was a little kinder, and he returned the salute directly after the major general, and took the initiative to extend his right hand to Naimen.

The soldier with light yellow curly hair was wearing a brown-yellow subtropical military uniform of the Italian and American runner-ups, and looked much younger than Major General Gao Huo, in his thirties. He wears a special glove in his right hand, and only has three fingers, the index and middle fingers missing.

"The commander of the reconstructed 9th National Division 'Dragonspear', formerly part of the 9th 'Fist Blade' National Division, Colonel Schlopp Cliff (Shrop Clive). ”

"Ah, Cliff of the Blade Master? we met when we were Lenny. ”

"Each other, each other. ”

The original Ninth National Guard Division, Fist Blade, was wiped out in the Battle of Lenny, and only Lieutenant Colonel Cliff retained half of the formed battalion. The only surviving lieutenant colonel, the regimental commander, was promoted as a combat hero and rushed to rebuild the completely destroyed army.

After the reconstruction, the division's symbolic weapon was changed from the shortest attack range to a dragon lance with a total length of more than seven meters, the 9th National Guard Division "Dragon Lance" (9th MF

Division"Dragonlance")。

The two high-ranking officers led the new officer corps, who had arrived from Fortiburg and Fates, and both had small medals on their chests representing "temporary titles". The officer corps reinforced this time was less than half of what it should be, and its ranks and resumes were lower than it should have been—there were not many senior officers left in any of the main Free Divisions.

But the onlookers were not aware of this. All they could see was the silver stars on the shoulders of this army, the watches on their chests, and the full set of equipment that shone with all kinds of magical light. This reinforcement even brought an overstaffed cavalry company, and the tall northern horses and half-blood celestial horses were equally impressive. People admired the high rank and well-equipped of these reinforcements, and vaguely felt that the recovery of the Narrow Sea was just around the corner.

After exchanging information with each other, the two sides quickly handed over the specific work to the staff officers below. As soon as the staff officers of the future 14th and 9th National Divisions disembarked from the ship, they rushed to the gendarmerie headquarters with the fatigue of the journey, to receive supplies and barracks from the troops, leaving the generals on the docks to continue their important but boring ceremonies.

"Everything seems to be going well, and the remaining half of the officers and troops will depend on your work, Major. In my division, you can set aside as many vacancies as you want for honorary officers. ”

"Well, my divisional officer shortage is as high as two-thirds...... Or rather, the dragon spear division has a greater need for this money. ”

Honorary officers are a common fundraising method used by the Free Army. Many of the councillors took off their formal attire and donned the uniform of a colonel or major, leading a regiment or battalion of troops, and taking care of recruitment and logistics, while many important patrons opted for nominal staff or magical officer positions.

"I don't plan to recruit honorary officers or militia on a large scale, because that might affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Naimon shook his head, "My plan is to first form a regiment as the core of the two divisions, which will be used to crusade against the Emperor's party and liberate the fallen counties along the coast. The fundraising plan will start today, and if you are in good spirits, I implore both of you to be here to assist us in our work and give some confidence to those donors and bond buyers. ”

Speaking of these topics, all three of them smiled bitterly. From the moment they saw Naimon's formation, Goho and Cliff knew what he meant. As officers of the Free Nations, they could not devote themselves to warfare and training as their counterparts in the Empire, and obtaining military funds from the local government was also an important part of the work.

"Fundraising? Willing to serve. Of course, today's hero should not be us. ”

"The guest who is better at this job than us should also call at the port. ”

Colonel Cliff pointed to the sea. The second salute gradually rang out, and the crowd was once again stirring excitedly.

In the corner at the back of the crowd, several low-key girls were whispering.

"Do you know the flag?"

"I learned a little bit when I was a dock pilot. That flag word means ......"

The female cadre of the former thieves' union, who goes by the pseudonym of Bai Ruisi, narrowed her eyes and looked at the second boat slowly approaching the dock.

Unlike the bulky and heavy merchant ship that transported the officer corps, it was a battleship, a fast capital ship with a spinnaker, three decks, and many magic cannons.

A brief port salute was hung from the mainmast to the aft mast, but there were other messages hanging in the main flag area from bow to mainmast.

Di Meiyi, the former Thieves' Guild member, knew the letters and phrases each flag represented, so she copied the letters of each flag in the notebook of Bai Ruisi, codenamed "White Silk".

One by one, Bridis spelled out the letters, read out the corresponding words, and relayed them to his two companions.

"It means, on behalf of the supreme admirable spokesmen of the gods, to pay homage to the Seventh Fleet and Phase Harbor—"

There is only one person in the southern kingdoms who can use the religious honorific title of "supreme and venerable spokesman of the gods". The battle flag of the gold emblem on a white background fluttering on the bow of the ship also shows the identity of the ship's owner.

"All salutes are fired!Welcome to the Phaseport Renewal, the Archbishop of all the Churches, Her Excellency Bonnie Seffir!"

A prefectural bishop of the Phaseport Reform Society rushed past the officers of Naimon in defiance of etiquette, and shouted at the end of the pier pier.

Just a month ago, his church was an important branch of the Prioritish Church. Now, the four original Protestant congregations have recognized their de facto position under the greatest theologian of the day, Bonnie Sephier, and the Reformed Church is the first church above the four churches of the Entente, the Vinaya, the Puxiu, and the Introspective. As long as you can solve the problem of the highest rank divine art, the name is not important at all.

This last salute emptied all the shore guns, and the entire fleet in the harbor fired in response. After all the artillery fires were fired, suddenly, the entire dock suddenly held its breath, and only the sound of the sea breeze remained in the air.

In the silence of the unexpected arrival, the figure of Archbishop Bonnie Sefir, dressed in a pure white tulle dress, appeared at the bow of the ship.

Bonnie's steps were not majestic, and her posture was not very special, but everyone felt that she was firmly on her own path. Her translucent ice-blue crystal heels stomped on the pedals, leaving a shadow of no offset.

It is like a holy and inaccessible kaolin flower, which can make people feel a kind of peace and calm on a religious level.

Naimon could barely connect her to the girl he once knew. The Bonnie Seiffel he knew, although calm, wise, and decisive, and sometimes unapproachable, was also a beautiful woman who could communicate and occasionally laugh. And today's Bonnie, it looks like ......

"It's like the phrase 'Holy Archbishop' becomes a real person. ”

He said to himself in a voice that no one could hear. That steadfast, serene and groundbreaking momentum, he seemed to have seen somewhere.

Bonnie paused in front of the bishop and looked at him with a frosty look. The Bishop hesitated for a moment, then withdrew his right foot, ready to bow to her on one knee, but Bonnie's right hand reached out with lightning to block the Bishop's further movements, and uttered the first words since disembarking.

"You don't have to bow to me. I have come to Inter to bring blessings to you, not to do blessings. Let's build a better church together. ”

The corners of her mouth finally thawed, and a smile appeared. At that moment, Naimon seemed to see Annie's shadow in her smile.

Then, a wide-ranging blessing magic unfolded around her.

A flash of golden light flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and then they felt as if something swept over their minds, sweeping away the exhaustion of their whole body. If I had to describe it, it was like the refreshing feeling of waking up after a good night's sleep.

This is not some high-level magic. In fact, almost every priest and cleric with some status would use this magic with caution to facilitate the spread of doctrine and strengthen people's beliefs. But being able to use the Blessing Technique on a crowd of tens of thousands of people with such ease was undoubtedly a testament to the top Divine Skill users.

The contrast between the "Frost Saintess" and the blessed smile easily erased the last trace of defense in the hearts of Hong Kong people. No one cared about Bonnie's age or gender, nor did he question a distant saint, and the crowd was filled with a sudden burst of frenzy, and the tide swept through them, and the cheers were almost overwhelmed by the Westport.

"Long live the Holy Maiden!" "She's a good priest." "It feels like she can really build a better church. ”

People cheered and exchanged their views on each other, and the scene was very lively. Only the few who remained suspicious of Protestantism and who knew Bonnie Shalfir before were able to remain calm.

The Apostolic Envoy of the Orthodox Church to Phaseport, Ionette Hartmann, frowned imperceptibly and whispered to Olya beside her, "She is the Bonnie Sephir you met before? If you want to promote Orthodoxy here, I am afraid, it is really not feasible. ”

"yes. She is indeed a very, very dangerous opponent. ”

Princess Olya said, looking at Naimon, who was standing not far in front. After listening to Méti tell Namen's story, she quietly changed her hair back to the black of the Imperial Family.

Then, she shifted her gaze to Zhang Shiyi and Meti, who were standing behind Naimon: Metie looked a little overexcited, and Zhang Shiyi's left fist was clenched tightly all the time, as if she was ready to fight at any moment - interestingly, she still had the blonde hair that was a little out of place with her skin tone and body type.

It seems that I am not the only one who is nervous, and the princess of the empire smiled bitterly in her heart. Bonnie Seffir is one of those people who can put a lot of pressure on people even if they don't do anything. Back when she was just a mere "Pluto Luthor Councillor", the Empire's security services had been carrying the name all day long.

"Luckily, I have prepared a countermeasure ......"

Then she saw Bonnie Shalfey walking briskly across the trestle and toward them. She exchanged a look with Namen, and the young Acting Governor left the crowd and walked over to her. Another pre-negotiated bridge, Olya thought a little dissatisfied.

"I finally saw you, my hero. ”

Bonnie kindly held out her hand and threw down a shocking remark. Her voice is clear and loud and cannot be misunderstood. Almost all of those who could hear this sentence fell into consternation, including Naimon Soleton himself.

"She just said 'my hero,' right?

"Shhhh Be quiet. We may be witnessing an amazing scene. ”

Naimon muttered in his heart, "You should have to go to me about the script first", hesitating how to act. It looked as if he should go up and shake hands, but the shocking words forced him to take some unexpected actions.

The young major held up the other party's right hand and said in a deep voice, "If this is the will of the gods, I am willing to be Miss Sephir's hero." ”

He got down on one knee, lowered his head, and kissed Bonnie Seiffel lightly on the back of his right hand. He's talking about Sephier, not Bonnie. He vowed to be Anne Sefir's hero.

The reaction of the saint was not as unapproachable as her expression and demeanor. Her palms were warm, and her fingertips were still trembling slightly after his sudden kiss.

That means she understood. A blush appeared on Bonnie's face, staring at him with those wonderful eyes. Her eyes seemed to say, "That's a match," but there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"The reason why I came to Phase Port is because I saw the future in the magic of prophecy. ”

Bonnie took his hand back, and with a gentle tud, Naimon stood up.

"In the future I see, we will inherit all the resources of the elven colonization cause. ”

The archbishop's sermon was concise and to the point. Bonnie Sefir's voice was calm and full of conviction.

"In the future I see, our colonies will take their place as trading posts. ”

Her gaze swept across the crowd with undoubted certainty, as if she had seen a definite future.

"In the future I see, our franchise company will replace theirs. ”

It sounded as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

"I see a future where we can not only be transporters at sea, but also masters of the sea. ”

The eyes of the crowd began to burn. Prophecy is the most powerful of all magical schools, but it is also one of the most problematic. The accuracy of the vast majority of prophetic magic is within a dubious range, and it may be used as a tool for the Imperial Budget and insurance companies to predict the future, but it will never be made public.

"In the future I see, Phase Harbor will rule the shipping lanes and become the new home port of the Free Nations. ”

But now, an archbishop has openly prophesied. If this prophecy is not fulfilled, it is difficult to even imagine how badly the entire sect will be hit -

In other words, this prophecy cannot be wrong. Archbishop Bonnie Sefir, Holy Daughter of the Free Nations, will mobilize all her forces to ensure that this prophecy is correct.

"In the future I see, my hero will take the emblem I gave him and do it all. ”

Bonnie quietly removed the emblem from her chest. It was a emblem set with a large transparent diamond and several large diamonds, both in terms of the materials and the ornamentation on it, which looked so luxurious that only the largest and most top-notch churches had the money and ability to make it.

So I came to make this prophecy a reality. ”

Bonnie tilted her head slightly, and straightened Namen's neckline. The collar of the tuxedolet he was wearing and the shabby one-sleeved uniform he wore behind his back were haphazardly crossed, and Bonnie helped him smooth it out, and then solemnly placed the badge of her own on Naimon's chest.

This slightly intimate and transgressive gesture seemed to the crowd to be an official guarantee of Naymen Soleton's domination of Phase Harbor, but to the other ladies it was like a bolt from the blue.

"It's like a fiancé......" Ionette Hartman said in the lowest voice, a wry smile flashing across her handsome face, and she looked at her deputy beside her, "The surprise you prepared, do you want to think about it again-"

Then, the words he was about to utter were in his throat. The Apostolic Envoy discovered that the fingers of the First Princess Ollia Hugh Koman had been pressed to her ear and were communicating something through teleportation.

"Is it late?"

Ionette hurriedly looked up. He was the first of them all to raise his head.

Almost at the same time, Bonnie, who had put on the emblem and groomed his face, also looked up sharply. This action was without warning, and Naimon, who was close at hand, also subconsciously tilted his head back.

The crowd followed her and looked up—

They saw a dragon glowing with silver light rushing down from the clouds!

Before their exclamation could be extinguished, the uninvited silver dragon had already rushed through a few hundred meters, perhaps a few thousand meters high, and landed in the middle of the phase westport with clouds brought from high in the sky—

- Right in front of Naymen Soleyton and Bonnie Sefir!

The flight of a dragon is magic in itself. The huge wings were far from enough to support the weight of the beast, and its flight was actually a great magic that moved rapidly with the surrounding layers of air.

Only the flight of the dragon can bring the clouds, which originally only stayed high in the sky, to the ground. This cloud is large enough to envelop all the people in the vicinity of Westport.

"Don't panic, everyone!"

Bonnie stepped forward and commanded categorically.

Her left and right arms glowed with magic at the same time. Her left arm was shrouded in flowing iridescent colors, and her right arm was a dazzling pure light.

Stratus clouds in the sky fell on the flat ground and began to dissipate in an instant.

Surrounded by clouds, it was not the dragon that people imagined, but a silver-haired, tall, cold woman with a terrifying glint in her eyes.

"Yo, maiden pope of the South. This way of greeting customers is a bit rude. Polite exchanges, put away your magic, right?"

The Daughter of the Silver Dragon took a deep breath and waved her left arm in front of her seemingly easily.

The cloud vapor she brought down from high in the sky turned into a torrent, and then froze into ice edges under the innate ability of the silver dragon.

These countless ice edges, under the impetus of Long Wei, rushed straight towards Bonnie Sefir!

This power is far beyond the limits of what Naimon can accept. He couldn't help but take a step back, two, three, and watched as the crystal crashed into the two top-notch spells that Bonnie had prepared in his left and right hands.

Not a single ice crystal, not even a single stream of water, rushed through the defenses of those two top-tier magicals.

First, the light in her left hand spread out, turning into a dazzling rainbow light, and then with the slight trembling of the tips of Bonnie's left fingers, it turned into a curtain of red light, turning the cold carried by the ice edge and the armor-piercing rush at the tip into invisible.

Then, the white light of the right hand diffused into the strongest shield in the world, standing like a high wall on the trestle.

All the clouds and water were instantly blocked by the wall of iridescent colors and holy light, and then turned into a curtain of water, rushing in all directions, spreading out with a "bang", and spilling into the sea along the pier trestle.

The crowd of onlookers, including those important people who were not far away, were all dumbfounded.

"Indeed, hospitality with these two spells is a little more intense. Thank you for your correction, Your Highness Silver Dragon. Your kindness, I received. ”

Bonnie understated the two top-level arcane and divine magic that could perfectly inhabit the rank of nine ranks. The silver dragon sensed this powerful threat at the first time, and used almost all of his dragon power to detonate these two magics.

"Hmm...... So, that's the end of the aftershow. ”

The man and the dragon exchanged glances. Although one party is afraid that he is thousands of years old, and the other party is not even twenty, they can see the strength of the other.

"Just tell me. If I'm going to take a stake in your little business, how much will it give me?"

The Daughter of the Silver Dragon asked bluntly.

P.S. almost forgot to say that the author attached the text...... Die, Tanabata!
