Chapter 96: Silver Light Magic Stone
Kurstedburg is 10,000 miles away from the royal capital of the city, and the sailing ship goes upstream, which normally takes about ten days, and this is still in the case of a tailwind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But they had to get their supplies in twenty days, and considering that it would take fifteen days to get from the city to the northern fortress, they had to cut the time by water in half.
This may seem like an impossible task, but with the help of the Dwarven Project, it becomes a matter of course.
At the bottom of each sailboat were two huge cylinders with a diameter of five feet, the length of which was almost the same as the hull, and at this moment, the two cylinders were spewing out a large amount of gas, and the huge impetus increased its speed several times.
Fortunately, the noise in the cabin is not loud, and it does not affect the people resting in the cabin.
In the first sailing ship to sail the river, in a relatively large cabin, the three commanders and the knight chief were discussing the deployment arrangements for the mission.
It was said to be a discussion, but the atmosphere looked more like someone calling the shots.
"Sailing at night is extremely disadvantageous to us," said the chief knight, "and we will suffer unimaginable losses in the event of a demonic night attack, especially after crossing the Gray Wolf Plain, so I cannot agree with you, Lord Commander. ”
The chief knight was a brown-haired man in his mid-forties, with a beard and green eyes that exuded a determined gaze, as if to tell the commander-in-chief that he would never agree to the foolish orders of the other party.
"You've fought in the Battle of Divine Punishment a few times, Lord Alden," Harding's one-eyed gaze said.
"How many times?" said Knight Alden, "I have escorted supplies to the royal capital seven times, and all of them were on the winter solstice, and I ...... them." ”
"I'm asking...... You've fought in the Battle of Divine Punishment a few times!Lord Knight!" Harding raised his voice, and his eyes suddenly became cold.
"No," Alden blinked, "but ......." ”
"Not once?" interrupted Harding again.
"Yes, I didn't fight in the Battle of Divine Punishment," Alden's chivalric temperament looked a little weakened.
Harding spread his hands and looked at the other party with a mocking expression, "So you don't know the demon very well, I can tell you that I participated in nine battles of divine punishment, and I am still standing here, not because I am lucky." I've torn demons more than you've ever seen, so I know them better. ”
The chief knight looked at Acrylic, who was still on the same front as him at the beginning.
The latter nodded, "The number of demons that Lieutenant Colonel Heywood tore apart with his bare hands in the Battle of Divine Punishment is currently ranked 101st in the Alliance Army, and 87 of them are giants. ”
"Out of 101, I dropped three places?" said Harding, frowning.
"This is the latest news, and I went to the intelligence department to take a look before leaving. Acrylic shrugged.
"Looks like we're going to have to speed up a bit," Harding turned to look at the knight, "so you hear them, I know them better than you do." ”
"Well," said the knight, with a deflated look on his face, "if something happens on the way, you will be fully responsible." ”
"Of course," Harding smiled disapprerovingly, "I'm the commander-in-chief of this mission, and I'll naturally take care of it if something goes wrong." ”
......
The material galleons were sailing fast, and by sunset, the fleet had left the territory of Fort Kurstedberg and entered the inhabited jungle.
In the third galleon that Payne was on, there were so many people that there would be seven or eight people living in the same room, and it was very stuffy, and it didn't smell good, and the room was full of unpleasant fishy smells.
So he did not hold himself in the cabin, but stood on the deck and practiced swinging his sword.
Not only him, but many others were standing on the deck, and most of them were on the boat for the first time, and even if the boat was running smoothly, they would still get seasick if they couldn't stand it.
At this time, more than 30 eagles that looked small suddenly flew out of the first pilot sailboat.
"What's that?" someone asked.
"It's Golden-eyed eagles, they help us find out if there's a demon around us. Someone replied.
"I see, by the way, aren't we going to stop the ship?"
"Why stop the ship?"
"When the winter solstice comes, as long as the boats on the river are still sailing, it is easy to be attacked by demons at night, and the boat does not stop, how can we fight the demons, do we have to watch them penetrate the bottom of the boat?"
"But we haven't left the South yet, aren't your worries unnecessary?"
"Oh, yes. ”
“......”
The jungle scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful, especially when viewed at high sunset. Payne heard everyone's discussions, looked up at the direction where the sun was setting, and an inexplicable sense of desolation rose in his heart.
Maybe it's the cool evening breeze here, Payne thought.
Soon, when the sun had completely set, darkness fell all around, but the darkness did not last long, and a blinding silver light lit up on the ship's mast illuminated the entire deck, and even the riverbank could be seen.
On the dark canal, this row of silver lights is particularly eye-catching, but it brings a great sense of security to the people on board.
After ten minutes or so, people gradually got used to the intense light.
"Chief, you're here. ”
Payne turned around and saw Hawke and they walked over, but didn't see Roy's figure, "It's a little stuffy in the cabin, what about Roy?"
"Alone in the cabin," Hawk shrugged, "by the way, what kind of light is this, so bright." ”
"I don't know," Payne said, "probably to keep the demon from coming closer?"
"That's right," Bobble walked over at this time, followed by a few other people, "it's the light of the Silver Magic Stone, which can blind the demon's eyes. ”
"We're on the first shift in Team 8, and Team 9 will come and take our place in four hours," Bobble said, "so...... Let's pass the time with some interesting topics. ”
“......”
Payne found Bobble to be very talkative, and experienced and experienced, and Bobble spent three and a half hours of the next four hours telling about the bizarre encounters he had had, and he told them like a story, so vividly that the audience was free to pee.
The group listened with great interest, and for this attracted a few female mercenaries, which made the time a little faster, and when the last story was told, the men of the ninth team also came to change the guard.
