Chapter 47: Entrapment
In the afternoon, Hemmer, who had boarded the ocean for the first time on the battleship, lay on the large bed in the captain's room, tossing and turning and could not sleep, but was shaken to the ground and dizzy by the constant shaking of the hull back and forth, so he simply got up and put on his armor and walked to the deck.
On the deck of the main ship, the crew of each duty saluted Hemmer before doing their duty.
The warm sunlight shone through the thin clouds on the calm sea, gilding it with a hazy pale gold, and Hemer stood quietly on the side of the ship listening to the sound of the waves, and in the open field of vision two white seabirds flew over, suspended and playing on the surface of the sea, but the water dyed their feathers golden.
A huge sea dragon jumped out of the sea, let out a whimpering sound like a giant whale, and then plunged into the water, Youlan's body threw a beautiful arc in the air, and the water droplets splashed into stars.
The surrounding crew members were surprised, but Hemer was shocked.
A different kind of gentle behemoth that always resonates with those who see it for the first time.
"I thought they were wiped out." At some point, Eliden stood beside Hemer, her hand holding out the blasting sunlight, her inky pupils cold like a ghostly light from a floating cloud.
After she said this, she happened to meet Hermer's gaze and explained: "The skin of the sea dragon feels very soft to the touch, and if you have to describe it, it is probably like the silk that came from the Aurora Empire, but the sea dragon skin has stronger toughness and can effectively offset the impact of bows and crossbow arrows, so pirates like capes made of sea dragon skin." ”
"Sea dragons used to be quite common, but now they are rare to see after the pirates went on a hunt. Probably good things will always make people think. If you don't have power, sooner or later you will fall into the hands of others. ”
Eliden smiled slightly, "The older generation of pirates often say that when you encounter a sea dragon, good luck will come you. Looks like we're in luck. ”
"I hope so. I just wish I could get ashore soon. Hemmer let out a slow breath of cloudy air.
However, the comfortable sea breeze has made his groggy head a lot clearer these days.
So, a question suddenly came to his mind.
Bretonnia's goddess of the lake is Lilith's waistcoat. As an elven god, she is not very good at showing her face often, and in the face of being seen by the stupid knights, in order to better contact the believers, she will choose a mortal woman to be the administrator of her fan base, and the nobles of Bretonnia call her the lake god fairy. The lake goddess has supreme power in the kingdom and now lives in the castle tower of Carcassonne.
When he went to grab Carcassonne, didn't he grab Lilith's head?
Although Hemmer still doesn't know if Radlily is Lilith's other vest.
If so, which wave didn't wash away the Dragon King Temple?
I want to rob my own god-worshippers... Suddenly, Hemer's brow furrowed.
"What's wrong, sir?" Eliden, who was beside him, noticed Hemer's unusual face and couldn't help but ask.
I saw Hemmer take a long breath and say the entanglement in his heart.
Eliden kicked one hand in the pocket of her trench coat and leaned out of the fence with the other, as if touching the flowing sea breeze, and she said, "I thought it was a headache, but this is it." If you want me to say, Master Hemmer is a believer who went to rob Lilith, what does it matter to Radlith? ”
That's right! A word to wake up the dreamer.
Hemmer suddenly realized that he was robbing Lilith's believers, not Radlith's believers, so what did he care about Radlily?
Thinking like this, Hemmer was instantly relieved.
Radlily: ?
While the two were talking, a cloud of lead suddenly appeared on the sea level in the distance, like ink spots that had been accidentally touched and sprinkled on the pale golden scroll, which was extremely abrupt.
"That's....?" The sharp-eyed crew spotted the lead-colored clouds that were getting closer and closer, and immediately lost their voices in horror, "It's a storm at sea!" ”
The first mate hurried to the cabin with a telescope in hand, pushed away the helmsman, and turned the rudder in one go.
Notia, who was still resting, heard the commotion on the splint, quickly walked out of the captain's room, and calmly commanded the fleet to turn.
"Turn the bow of the ship sixty degrees to the right!"
Wandering around in confusion, he spotted Hemmer and Eliden on the side of the ship.
"Two adults, please go into the cabin to rest first, and I will take care of the rest."
"Okay, please." Hemmer nodded, pulled up the embarrassed Eliden and quickly returned to the cabin, hearing the latter muttering in disappointment, "A bunch of liars, didn't they say there would be good luck." ”
Ten minutes later, the hull of the ship shook violently.
Listening to the noise outside, Hemmer was worried.
On the contrary, Eliden next to him stumbled to find the red wine, poured himself a glass, and saw that Hemer's face was like earth, and he comforted him open-mindedly, "Ah, Lord Hemer." Big waves can't run away, small waves don't have to run. ”
With that, she drank the wine and groped her way to bed.
Hemmer couldn't help but smile bitterly, he could fall asleep at this time, and his heart was big enough.
He stayed in the cabin, waiting for the storm to pass.
...
Hurmer's fleet was caught in a sudden storm at sea, and the two warships and more than a hundred soldiers on board were all buried at the bottom of the sea, and the surviving ships barely sailed out of the center of the storm under the command of Nodia, but also unknowingly deviated from the established course.
A few days later, at noon, the continental plate slowly entered everyone's field of vision, and Hemmer and others finally found a relatively hidden bay to dock, but they were dumbfounded when they opened the map.
"Where is this?" Hemmer stepped off the splint and stepped on the soft sand, map in hand, and looked up at the unfamiliar surroundings in confusion.
"Notia!"
"My lord, I'm here." Tired and bloodshot with bloodshot pupils, Notia was directing the rest of the battleships to find position and anchor, and when she heard the call, she handed over the work to the first mate Vestitch and trotted to Hemmer's side.
"Pick two agile guys, grab a few locals around and ask where this is."
"Yes, sir." Notty Adam immediately picked two trusted scouts to scratch his tongue.
The crowd assembled on the outskirts of the jungle not far from the beach to count the casualties.
An hour later, the two scouts hurried back to shore to report to Hemer.
"My lord, we caught the peasants in the nearby rice fields and asked them, and they said that this is the Duchy of Boroder, and about a kilometer ahead of us on the plain, there is a village called Bodrux, which belongs to the Count of Elois.
"Duchy of Boroder? Grand Duke I remember calling... Duke Alberic? Eliden thought.
"I'll go, the king of aquatic products...". Hemmer immediately shook his wit.
He originally wanted to rob Carcassonne, but he didn't expect to accidentally enter the territory of the Dukedom of Boroder, the "King of Fisheries" Duke Alberic.
However, what comes is what is safe.
Hemmer pondered, who is not robbing it.
As a rule, he asked his men to take out the equipment they had prepared a long time ago, disguise themselves as high elves and slowly rub towards the plains in the distance.
Located on the impact plain downstream of a river, Bodrux is a small village with fertile land and abundant aquatic products, no luxurious classical buildings and no glittering knights, but the vibrant relaxed atmosphere and rural feelings are still refreshing.
After a mountain path, on the other side of the hill stands the castle of Count Elois, a glorious knight of the Holy Grail and owner of the village of Bodrux.
After some disguise, Hemer and his men, dressed as High Elves, stood on a high hill and looked at the endless rice fields in the distance.
It is better to catch a hundred old peasants than a nobleman, and it is better to catch a hundred nobles than to catch a knight of the Holy Grail.
him with a big vote.
"Notia, send some men to harass that village. Don't have too many people, a few dozen people are enough. Don't worry if you see someone fleeing and report the news. ”
The generals were puzzled. Eliden pondered, "What does Master Hemmer mean?" ”
"I'm going to capture that Count Elois."
Pull him over to Radlily and see how she reacts.
It would be good to sell it for a big profit, or to give it to Morath.
Catch the Grail Knight?
Everyone excitedly geared up and listened to Hemmer's plan.
After a short time, dozens of soldiers approached Bodriux, killed the village sheriff, and then killed anyone they saw, causing a lot of trouble.
The local guards were no match for them, and hurriedly sent someone to mount their horses and report to Count Irelos in the castle.
At the mountain pass, Hemer, lurking in the bushes, was directing the soldiers to lay traps, and he couldn't help but sneer when he saw a horse riding towards the castle in the distance.
About forty minutes later, the Count of Elois took more than a dozen knights of the kingdom, thirty chivalrous knights, and more than sixty servants urgently summoned to Bodrux on war horses.
His son, Viscount Alois the Younger, accompanied him at the same time.
The scenery on both sides was constantly changing, and the Count of Alois recalled the description of the messenger, and became more and more puzzled.
Isn't the High Elves far away on the island of Osun, and their relationship with Bretonnia is not particularly friendly, but they will not send troops to plunder?
The Earl guessed that this was probably a group of routs who didn't know where to fight, and it would be good to kill a few people a little to deter them.
However, he didn't expect that what was waiting for them was a pair of woven nets, just waiting for his big fish to appear.
The night was like a huge piece of velvet, slowly enveloping the land of Bretonnia.
As we quickly crossed the mountain road, a pile of boulders rolled down the hillside, blocking the way and the way to and from the mountain.
The horses were frightened and hurried to hold on to the reins, and before they could react, the crossbows fell from the sky.
Nearly a hundred black-sharp crossbowmen emerged from both sides of the mountain road and mechanically pulled the springs.
More terror spearmen poured out of the shadows on all sides like a stream of disorderly water, enveloping the crowd.
At this time, the Count of Alois suddenly realized that he had been tricked.
His men were caught between the troops at both ends, and they were in a dilemma, and there was no turning back.
"Charge forward! Crash out of their formation! ”
Count Elois and his knights rushed forward desperately, but their horses were startled by the crossbows, and they were afraid of the spearmen's spears.
In a fit of rage, the Count dismounted and swung his sword at the Dark Elf soldiers who surrounded him.
The Earl's son, Viscount Elois the Younger, is also a valiant knight of the kingdom, and he and several guards fight his way to his father's side, and when he confronts the powerful Dark Elf soldiers, he inevitably wears a color and his nerves. Every now and then, he couldn't help but look at his father. Count Elois, however, swung his greatsword with his powerful wrist force, slashing at the enemy in pieces, and quietly chopping off countless Duruzi's heads and limbs.
"I can do it too!" Faced with such a bloody picture, Viscount Elois Jr. suppressed his sense of nausea and shouted in the crowd, "For my father!!" For the ladies!! ”
The fierce battle unfolded in the mountain pass, and the human side was absolutely weak, but they relied on their superior bravery and loyal faith to support the fierce attack.
Hemmer took a repeater from the crossbowman beside him, drew his bolt again, aimed it in the direction of Viscount Elois Jr.'s arm, and pulled the trigger unhurriedly.
The crossbow flew out, and Viscount Alois Jr. was shot with an arrow, his blood-stained sword coming out of his hand, and he was surrounded by the dark elves who rushed up.
On the other side, Count Elois led a dozen knights of the kingdom to fight more and more bravely, and the heads of the Duruqi were rolling under his feet.
Suddenly, I heard someone in the canyon shouting and stopped.
The dark elves, who had been killing red-eyed, actually slowly retreated and stopped attacking.
Just when Count Alois and the others were puzzled, Hemmer walked out of the army with the half-dead little Viscount Alois, threw him on the ground, and then hovered the sword in his hand above the viscount's head.
He smiled wickedly at Count Elois, "Lord Count, you don't want anything to happen to your son. ”
As he spoke, Hemmer's sword went down, and with just one more inch, it could pierce Viscount Elois Jr.'s neck.
"Son!! Count Elois's eyes were bloodshot and almost frenzied, and if it weren't for the infantry retinue, he would have rushed up and fought with Hemer.
"You despicable dark elf, let him go!"
"Absolutely." Hemmepi shrugged without smiling, "If Lord Earl and his loyal servants can lay down their weapons and stop resisting." It's all good for us to do that. ”
The Count clutched his weapon and refused to budge.
Seeing this, Hemer sneered, raised his long sword and stabbed it violently.
"Stop!"
Hemmer looked at the Earl, saw that he hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone... Lay down your arms..."
After saying this, the earl seemed to be more than ten years old, and crystal tears were left on his cheeks.
