Chapter 162: North of the North Sea

"Ah......" Akali then remembered that the current Yunhai meridians were still in a damaged state, and his cultivation was gone, he couldn't bear this kick of his own, and it was already very good that he hadn't been kicked to death, so he hurriedly ran over, his face was full of worry: "I'm sorry, I forgot that your cultivation is gone, it's okay, right?"

"Uh...... I can't die yet...... "Yunhai lay on the wall and groaned in pain. It's not the first time I've done this anyway......"

"Not for the first time?" Akali wondered, but when she saw Fluttershy's wandering gaze, she quickly understood.

"This gentleman...... You're all right, are you?" Eve didn't figure out what was going on, and hurried over.

"Uh...... This Miss Druid...... I need treatment ......"

"This guy is the sea of clouds I told you, and this time I went to the Grand Druid to recover this guy. Akali explained.

"Oh, the sea of clouds that makes you love dead and alive but still refuses to look at you?" Eve had just said these words when Akali gagged her, and she finally broke free, and said, "That's what you told me......?"

β€œ...... Akali, how many bad things did you say about me?" the corners of Yun Hai's eyes twitched.

"Well, I just said it casually, that ......" Akali pulled Eve who had been covering her mouth and whining aside, and muttered quietly for a while, Akali said, "Anyway, send Yunhai back to the room first, and then let Eve heal it." ”

The sea of clouds is quickly sent back by Fluttershy, and Eve follows, leaving only the members of the Knights of Aurora in the hall.

"Three, what is the situation in Europe now, and has anything unusual changed during the time I have been away?" Akali asked straight to the point, sitting on the throne, and it seemed that her concern about the situation in Europe had not relaxed at all.

"In the week of your absence, the situation in Europe has become chaotic, and in the west near Orleans there has been a rebel army against Trist, which has now taken Orleans with great momentum, and Fell and Turien, who had besieged us last time, and whose stations in Warsaw and Hamburg were on the verge of collapse due to the lack of troops, are already on the verge of collapse under our constant guerrilla warfare and break-and-break engagement. Elena said very methodically. "Now Trist has fallen into the quagmire, temporarily unable to do anything to us, and the situation in Brandenburg is also very stable, the reconstruction of the city wall is basically completed, the army is also under multiple assessments, with 10,000 elite divisions, of which 5,000 are heavily armed knights, and the other 5,000 are other troops, and yesterday we received news that the reconstruction of Her Royal Highness Caterina in the North Sea fortress has also been completed, and has begun to explore the North Sea and the Baltic Sea according to your plan, and strive to communicate with England。 ”

"Well, it looks like we're already on our feet here. Akali nodded in satisfaction. "By the way, Elena, speaking of which, your old collar must be not far from Warsaw, right?"

"My family's territory is a hundred kilometers south of Warsaw, and before the unification of Europe by the Kingdom of Lucas, Duke Fred III of Warsaw was actually my distant cousin, but in the process of unification, almost all of my family died in battle, and now only I am left. ”

"Elena, I'm ......" Akali felt a sense of guilt, because the person who killed her loved one was her own father.

"It's all right, Your Highness the Princess, they also died to defend their homeland, and I am proud of them, and besides, these crimes are not to be borne by you. Elena didn't think much of it.

β€œ...... Thank you. Akali looked at Elena who was smiling at her, and secretly made up her mind that if she could unify Europe, she would give Warsaw and a series of places around her as compensation.

"My pleasure. Elena bowed slightly, and continued, "Speaking of which, Wallace has something to say to you. ”

"yes, what is it about?" Akali turned her gaze to the Scout's body.

"Your Royal Highness, before I was called back to Greece by my father, I was investigating the island of Richt in the Aegean Sea, and I found something incredible. ”

"Richt Island, where the legendary Minotaur Minotaur was?" Akali quickly remembered the famous myth. "In Greek mythology, the queen of the island of Richter gave birth to a minotaur monster due to the curse of the sea god Poseidon, that is, the Minotaur, and the king built a labyrinth to keep him from harming the world, and contributed nine pairs of boys and girls every year, until a warrior from Athens tied a rope to the entrance of the labyrinth, which killed the minotaur and left safely, am I right?"

"According to mythology, that's true, but ......," Wallace's brow furrowed. "Under my father's instructions, I investigated the architectural remains of Richett Island, and found that in fact, the labyrinth still existed somewhere underground, and maybe the Minotaur was still alive......

"That's a very dangerous thing. Akali's expression became serious. "Although I don't know what the strength of this Minotaur is, but I have seen the strength of Medusa, how can this minotaur be better than her...... So, do we have a way to get into the maze?"

"Nope. Wallace replied in the affirmative. "I also got the news from the ancient books unearthed on the island of Richt, and found that there is no record of the killing of the Minotaur, but it mentions an earthquake in ancient times that buried the entire ancient city of Richt, and now we have no way to find clues about it. ”

"Then you have to pay more attention to this matter. Akali nodded, deciding to put the matter down for now. "By the way, didn't you say that Caterina had already started sending ships into the sea?"

"Yes, Her Highness Caterina sent merchant ships to communicate with other places for shipping, but ......" Reinhardt's face suddenly sank.

"But what?" said Akali, although Reinhardt was a decent strategist, he was better at being steady and strict in leading his troops, and he must have learned something very difficult.

"Immediately after we sent out our merchant ships, a very powerful group of pirates attacked our fleet and stole all the supplies. ”

"What kind of pirates are so rampant?!" Akali didn't expect to encounter pirates just after seizing the entrance to the sea, and she was immediately furious.

"I don't know what to say, their movements are as ghostly as ghosts, at first glance they are very skilled troops in naval warfare, and their combat effectiveness is even stronger than that of our former kingdom navy, but they do not seem to be soldiers, but some barbarians, each wearing leather clothes, holding a giant axe and a round shield, and wearing horned helmets, which do not resemble the clothes of Europeans at all. ”

Reinhardt's words made Akali fall into deep thought, who could be a haunted person on the sea, dressed in barbarian clothing, and still very strong in combat, who could be sacred? Gradually, Akali suddenly remembered an ancient name.

"Could it be them?" Akali asked, "Reinhardt, speaking of which, what about our caravans, men, and ships?"

"That's one of the things that makes me wonder. Reinhardt said. "Our fleet was ransacked, but the people and ships were intact, and the pirates simply took all the supplies and then disappeared. ”

"If that's the case, they should be undoubted. Akali nodded.

"What the hell are these guys?" the other three asked.

"If I'm guessing correctly, they're the Vikings, a people from the frozen sea north of the North Sea. ”

"Vikings?" the three of them suddenly realized. "No wonder their combat effectiveness is so strong, the Vikings' ability to fight at sea is indeed unmatched, but they will hardly come into contact with the European continent, why would they go south to snatch our supplies this time?"

"I don't know what the road is, and we can only know what the road is after actually seeing it. Akali pondered silently. "How many ships can we go to sea now?"

"According to the values reported by Her Royal Highness Caterina, there are more than a dozen small cargo ships of several tens of tons, and a large cargo ship of one hundred tons, called the Mariana. ”

"Well, our next move is to head to the Baltic Sea to meet the mysterious Vikings. Akali said. "This time the three of you will come to defend Brandenburg, and if possible, capture Warsaw and Hamburg, and it will be enough for me and Yunhai and a few of them to go...... Speaking of which, how is Yunhai now?"

"Thanks to you, that kick didn't kill me, and I'm full of energy now!"

Everyone turned around and found that Yunhai was standing in the hall full of energy at this time, and they didn't see any movement from him, and the cadres behind him, according to the gall, all flew out, flying rapidly in the air, like three lightning bolts, and accurately suspended in front of Yunhai.

"Great, your strength seems to have completely recovered!" Akali was overjoyed and threw herself directly into Yunhai's arms. "Really, I'm so worried......"

"This ......" Yun Hai was a little embarrassed for a moment, not knowing whether to push Akali away or hug her tightly.

"......" Fluttershy gently tugged at the corner of Yunhai's clothes and signaled him not to snub Akali, so Yunhai hugged her tightly and whispered, "I listened to Eve everything you did in the druid's village to save me, and I won't say more, it's my luck in my life to have you as a companion......"
