Chapter 155: Yang Mou
Chapter 155: Yang Mou (Medium)
Almost at the same time, Konoda County, Kunisque Harbour.
The sky was so blue that there was not a trace of variegation, and occasionally a few pure white clouds floated leisurely through the sky, and seabirds swept over the sea, startling a circle of waves that spread in all directions, and then quickly disappeared.
The port of Kunisque is home to many ships, most of them large four-masted sea-going ships, and countless sailors are busy on top of these large floating castles, a huge inland deep-water port that contrasts with the calm sea.
The harbor was full of coolie sailors with sail lines, heavy bags on their backs, shouting low trumpets, and occasionally aristocratic women who stepped out of the ship with fancy round sun umbrellas, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
Such an ordinary life is the simple melody of these fishermen, who, strictly speaking, have hardly ever been out to sea, at best they have swam a few swims in the huge inland freshwater lake of the Pound Sea, and have hardly seen much of the world, but the Kunisques, because they are close to the imperial capital of the Pound Empire, have developed a high-minded temper that is above the top, and they are often condescending to talk about the world.
But today, these fishermen, who have never even experienced real storms and waves, have really gained insight.
As a ruined battleship approached Kunisk Harbor from afar, it caught everyone's attention.
The bustling port slowly fell silent, and the people looked up at the ship, all gasping.
The ship was full of tattered holes, like a man named Hanako in a ragged garment, leaking air everywhere, whether it was its broken sails or its broken side, the Kunisque people felt that the ship should be sent directly to the scrap yard to be destroyed, rather than continue sailing on the surface.
Gradually, the Kunisques began to speculate on the ship's origins.
"Hey, Titra the god of the sea, I've never seen such a broken ship when I'm so big! Oh my God, how did it float on the water? Aren't they afraid of a shipwreck?".
"yes, look at that hole in the belly of the ship, oh my God, there is such a big hole and it still doesn't sink? This, this is incredible!"
"You two fools, just looking at these holes, do you know how these travertines are made?"
"Come on, Jacques, do you know?"
"Nonsense, I don't know you know, let me tell you, I have a cousin who was a soldier in the Royal Navy, and he once described to me the appearance of the cannon holes created by the shells hitting the hull, and in my opinion, the reason why the ship was damaged like this was because of the heavy shelling!"
"Jacques, you are alarmist again, this is the hinterland of the Empire, next to us is the heart of the Empire, who dares to fire a cannon here to cause a war?"
"White, idiot, how do I know, but the hole on this ship is definitely caused by a cannonball! Look at the stern, such a huge concave and outward hole, it wasn't a cannonball, you gouged out my eyes and drank wine!"
"Well, even if you are right, but where did this ship come from? There is no entrance in that direction except for the Moore Strait, how can there be a sea ship coming in from that direction?"
"I don't understand this......"
"You fools, look at the flag, look at their flag! This is the ship of the Falco Empire!"
An older fisherman lectured the young fishermen around him, he raised his head and looked at the Eagle Banner of the Falco Empire, stunned and unable to say a word.
Almost all the Kunisques in the harbor stared blankly at the flag, which fluttered on the mainmast, its golden flag stained with jet-black scarlet, smeared with gunfire smoke and the blood of soldiers.
It proudly stretched its body in the air, like a warrior returning triumphantly from the battlefield, making people feel a chilling majesty from afar.
It is different from all the ships here, and although these giant ships moored in Kunisque Harbour are much cleaner than this one in appearance, the smoke and murderous aura revealed by this ship is incomparable to that of other ships.
It's like a group of nobles dressed in bright clothes, gold and silver, and a scarred and blood-drenched warrior broke in, which made people look sideways.
This is a battleship!
The arrival of this ship has led more and more Kunisques to speculate about its origin: what is this warship of the Falco Empire doing here?
Some of these people rushed to inform the harbor guards, and some of the spies stationed in Kuniske Harbor looked at the ship with sharp eyes, and then silently wrote down all the details of what they had observed in their minds, waiting to report back to their respective forces.
Some aristocratic women, dressed in beautiful clothes, held small umbrellas in one hand and covered their mouths with handkerchiefs in the other, whispering about this unsightly and dilapidated battleship.
These expensive ****, who are more leisurely than fishermen and like to chew their tongues, laughed in a low voice, pointing at the battleship, and there was no lack of contempt and ridicule in their tones.
They naturally like things that are clean and tidy and full of grand etiquette, and they disdain this kind of dirty, sloppy and dilapidated ship like Hanako, if it is not curious about its identity and where it comes from, these noble **** will disdain to cast a second glance at this battleship.
"Do you say that the people on this ship will be as dirty and disheveled as this ship?" A young **** chuckled in a low voice.
"Youni, won't you go up and have a look later?"
"Ha, look at her Sichun's appearance, she will definitely be torn to pieces by those sailors when she goes up!"
"Bah, Katis, what do you say! You're so much prettier than I am, they're sure they'll be the first to do it! Don't you always complain that your men can't satisfy you?
The aristocratic young women in the crowd burst into a burst of debauched laughter, ignoring the various stares cast by them.
The young woman named Katis was indeed pink-cheeked, and her apricot eyes were extremely sultry, she took a low sip, and her eyes unconsciously looked at the battleship, but suddenly her body shook, and she couldn't move it anymore.
When the other noble young ladies saw her like this, they laughed more and more, and some of them sneered: "Yo, what a temptation!
But these mockery did not seem to be heard by Katis, she just looked at the battleship that was gradually sailing into the harbor, and the figure was hooked, and she was stunned.
The young women who noticed her strange appearance also followed her gaze, and at this glance, they immediately exclaimed, "Oh my God......"
I saw that on the bow of this battleship stood a phalanx of warriors, these warriors were wearing silver-white and bright armor, and the exquisite patterns on the armor made the people in Kunisque Harbor see its extraordinary bearing even from a long distance, which was a kind of majestic majesty, which only the royal family and nobles could have.
These warriors, numbering about one or two hundred, stood as motionless as a mountain, standing like a forest of steel, and were as silent as an awe-inspiring abyss compared to the chatter of the harbor.
At the front of these warriors stood a slender woman, wearing golden armor and long fiery red hair, this woman was a little unable to see her face, but her heroic aura made these noble young women who were usually extravagant and lascivious suddenly shocked and speechless.
She was like a sharp sword made of steel, standing straight in front of these warriors, standing in front of everyone's eyes, piercing their eyes, as if there was a dazzling light on her body!
It took these young women a long time to come back to their senses, they gasped, and exchanged an amazed look with each other: is there such a heroic and handsome woman in this world?
Suddenly it occurred to them: This woman, is she the captain of this ship?
The nobles and **** became excited at once, a female captain? This is big news, if you go back and talk to those close friends, they still can't be curious and excited?
Everyone knows that in the middle of the sea, this is a world ruled by men, and only a very small number of women can survive in this cruel and dangerous world, and these women are often talked about as good stories.
But now, these noble **** actually saw a female captain? This can't help but make them excited.
Disdain was suddenly left behind by them, and they watched with enthusiasm and excitement as the battleship came to shore, and then when the woman stepped off the ship, they couldn't help but squeeze over, they had too many questions to ask this woman.
The portier, who had come to question and collect fees, was kept out by the fanatical nobles, and he and his men did not dare to use force to drive these women away, knowing which of these women had no power behind them?
Christina looked at these women in gorgeous clothes with some surprise, she couldn't understand why these women were so excited.
What Christina doesn't know is that these noble **** live like a calm inland lake in the Pound Sea on weekdays, the water is not happy, and there is no new excitement at all, but now suddenly a bullet-riddled battleship came from the direction of the Moore Strait, and such a group of dignified soldiers appeared, plus such a heroic "female captain", which does not allow these idle and panicked nobles not to be excited.
"Who are you?"
"Where are you from?"
"Oh my God, are you really a captain, and for Tilla's sake, can I kiss the first female captain in the world?".
These noble **** chattered, Christina's head was as big as a bucket, but she still maintained a polite and reserved smile on her face, like a mature nobleman can behave.
Her first words dropped a bomb on the group.
Christina said: "Behind me, is the Eagle of the Falco Empire, this ship is not only loaded with the soldiers of the Falco Empire's guards, but also the most beautiful woman in the entire Noah continent. Yes, she is Her Royal Highness Angel, the princess of our Falco Empire, she came with flowers and olive branches of the Falco Empire, and traveled thousands of miles to a strange land to complete the marriage contract between the Falco Empire and the Pound Empire!"
Boom, everyone suddenly shouted.
"What? You mean, Angel, the princess of the Falco Empire, is on this ship?
"Yes, behind them is the Moore Strait, where no ship can pass through!"
"She's lying, they can't be from the Falco Empire, and Princess Angel can't be here!"
Facing the chaotic port, Princess Angel appeared in a snow-white dress with a golden scepter in her hand.
Her beautiful posture and appearance made everyone quiet for a moment.
The Kunisques looked up at this figure, looking at her fluttering skirt at the bow of the ship and her long hair fluttering slightly, that kind of dusty demeanor and arrogant temperament made them suddenly have an idea in their hearts: she is the princess Angel? Sure enough, she is the first beauty in the Noah Continent......
Angel didn't say a word, she just stood on the deck at the bow of the ship, holding the golden scepter representing the Falco Empire in her hand, and glanced at the lower façade with a majestic gaze.
Christina took the lead in kneeling down on one knee to Angel and saluting the princess.
Immediately after that, the noble **** standing next to her also knelt down, they are all knowledgeable people, a person's appearance can be changed, and a person's dress can be imitated, but a person's royal temperament cultivated by a long time cannot be changed and imitated.
She must be Angel, the princess of the Falco Empire!
But why did she come from the direction of the Moore Channel?
With this thought in mind, the ladies saluted the princess with their long skirts, and then the people around them also knelt down on one knee and saluted Princess Angel.
Soon, the entire dock was black and overwhelmed.
By the time they got up again, their eyes had changed, and they were no longer as rude and presumptuous as they had just been, and they were careful to pay attention to their words and deeds.
Even the most fanatical **** has become much more reserved, and the **** close to Christina whispered: "The sea god Tira is above, from such a far away, you must have experienced a lot of hardships, right?"
Christina smiled slightly: "It's not a lot, but it's not a lot." ”
"How did you get from the direction of the Moore Strait?
Christina smiled and said, "No one could come through the Moore Channel before, but we have now proven one thing: what others can't do, we can!"
The **** were shocked, and they were dumbfounded: "You, you mean, you came from the Moore Strait?"
Christina lifted her chin with an indescribable pride in her expression: "Of course!"
The **** sighed for a while, they are not those sailors at sea, nor are they old and spicy navigators, so they don't understand how incredible it is to want to cross the Moore Strait, if there is an old sailor or an old navigator in front of them, they will definitely refute Christina with the most fierce words, because they will not believe it at all.
But these nobles believed it, and they said in amazement: "Oh my God, you have made history again, you are not only the first female captain in this world, but also the first female captain to cross the Moore Strait!"
Christina subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she remembered the black-haired guy's advice and instructions to her: "Don't push me to the cusp, if you don't want to get into trouble! This captain's position, you can give it to whoever you like! Don't tell me about it anyway!"
Christina looked awkward, she didn't know whether to admit or deny.
As a knight of the Guards with good moral character, she has been taught to be honest and loyal since she was a child, and it is really uncomfortable for her to talk nonsense with her eyes open like this.
"This guy doesn't look like a low-key guy at all!" Christina muttered to herself, "Why is he so low-key all of a sudden? What the hell is he doing?"
Christina looked at the eager eyes around her, and a layer of sweat broke out on her back for a while, and she was at a loss when the city guards of Kunisque Harbor arrived in time to save her.
"Welcome, honorable captain, on behalf of all the people of Kunisque in the Pound Empire, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you and the beautiful and noble princess Angel!" said the city guard, a middle-aged man in his forties, to Christina respectfully.
According to etiquette, he was not qualified to come to Princess Angel and speak to her, so he could only convey his welcome words through Christina.
Christina watched the news of Princess Angel's arrival spread around the port, and she knew that it would not be long before the news would spread throughout Kunisque, and in half a day at most, the news would reach the imperial capital.
At that time, the news of Angel, the princess of the Falco Empire, arriving at the port of Kunisque in the Empire, will spread everywhere, and even if Prince Fernández wants to attack them again, it will be too late, they will not be able to commit crimes against the wind, and they will not have the courage and strength.
Thinking of this, Christina suddenly remembered Tang Jie's confident smile when he talked to them about this plan, and she unconsciously admired in her heart: he not only has a brave and fearless lion heart, but also a witty and intelligent wise brain......
She thought about it, and her eyes unconsciously looked at Princess Angel, who was standing alone on the bow of the ship.
Angel was so precipitous when she was standing, although she accepted everyone's admiration, Angel made Christina feel so lonely at this moment......
