Chapter 25: Speed
In just a few days, the warships of the Kingdom of Stars sailed to the port of Flying Fish.
Large quantities of supplies and ordnance were also transported to the shore by transport ships, catching up with the vanguard.
At the same time, the sled dogs team also made their way in the dark, spending two days clearing the ice obstacles and creating a good track for the subsequent transport of the snow dogs and reindeer teams.
Street lights have been installed on the roads between the towns of Phumesius, Port Ferry and Oak City, and the glass oil lamps are regularly patrolled and lit.
The Vakiri and Siddlers were mobilizing, and some of the men who had just learned of the war were eager to get involved.
The power of the Star Nation was concentrating, and the Knights of the Durella Templar had not yet set out from the comfort of their rooms.
Flying Fish Harbor
The consul here is the Alekmu White Gull, who wears a wide-brimmed feathered hat regardless of the season.
In the consul hall were not only this calm and wise middle-aged man, but also the envoys of various countries, as well as Countess Orea of Vakiri.
O'Raua sat in the corner of the circular table, and behind him stood Heidi and Emma, the beekeeper.
Emma, the beekeeper, is a witch who looks to be in her thirties on the outside, and she doesn't seem to be aggressive, giving people the temperament of a quiet and honest aristocratic wife, or the wife of a small aristocratic family, because her temperament is not high enough.
The witch was arranged by Lawrence to go beekeeping, and although she seemed to have a very weak presence and was not Lawrence's woman, Lawrence gave her enough treatment.
She was allowed to attend the Holy Virgin's College, and a wooden house was built for her in the beekeeping area, with her own bathroom and toilet, study and kitchen.
In the winter, when the bees were inactive, the witch lived in the ring building to study and rest, and this time Lawrence asked if she would like to come over and help, and received a positive answer.
There will definitely be no less than ten wizards in the hall!!
With the exception of Heidi and the beekeeper, the envoys of the nations and the men and women behind them did not seem to be weak.
Alecmu behaved very calmly.
"The Prophet's messenger has returned, and the problem is not serious on the side of the Hasenri and the Hokuriku Kingdom, and is willing to join us in the fight against the Church of Dawn."
Alikmu looked at the envoys of the other countries, "Now the Prophet has asked us to immediately support the Kingdom of Durella and make the invaders pay the price!" At the same time, ask the rest of the kingdoms that if there is a kingdom that is in danger of destruction, then give priority to rescue. ”
The elven martial arts chief of the Green Forest Kingdom said, "There is no problem in our kingdom, and the minions of the Dawn Church have not reached into our forest for the time being. ”
Alekmu looked at the valiant elven male, "Then Grimm Martial Arts Chief, this time are you willing to join forces in the crusade against the villains who have overthrown the royal family of the Durella Kingdom?" ”
Green behaved very coldly, "There are not so many spirits in the Green Forest Kingdom who have nothing to do, and our compatriots are reluctant to leave the forest. ”
Durella's exiled prince Fidnan couldn't count on these elves at this time, and the relationship between Durela's kingdom and the elves was already very strange.
At this time, Prince Fidnan could only count on the Church of the Stars and the rest of the country.
The emissary of the Kingdom of Hokuriku was Huey, the heir of the Marquis of York.
Huey is not only familiar with Lawrence, but also a frequent visitor to Flying Fish Harbor, and often brings people over to play, by the way, to learn about the development and direction of governance here.
In response to the movement of the Star Church, Xiu Yi said, "The Harakon Territory is willing to help, such as food, but I'm sorry for the rest, I can't help much right now. ”
"Earl Cap of Hasenri said, "Hasenli can provide access by land, and our king is willing to provide a town adjacent to the Kingdom of Durella as a military camp for the Kingdom of the Stars, as well as allowing the Kingdom of the Stars to pass through our coastal areas. ”
"We can provide food and fuel when necessary."
Karp made a lot of efforts this time, but also because King Augustine of Heisenli was aware of the danger and did not want to repeat what happened to the Kingdom of Durela.
The envoy of the Deco Kingdom did not expect that the Haisenli Kingdom would be willing to open its territory to the army of the Kingdom of Stars.
Because of the long distance, the envoy of the kingdom of Deco has not yet received a reply.
The envoy of the Kogiac Kingdom, which was adjacent to the Flying Fish Harbor, quickly said, "The Kogiac Kingdom is willing to provide a hundred knight troops to participate in the battle. ”
O'Raua looked around calmly, "It's almost, let's leave tomorrow morning!" ”
When Alekmu heard Orauya's words, he asked, "Lord Earl, I would like to go on a journey with you, but there is a need for someone to manage here, and the Prophet has not told me who will take my place. ”
Alikmu is a nobleman and a good conductor, good at organizing soldiers to break through and defend, and has a very good military quality.
Olaua said disdainfully: "No need, you can do it here, I will take the warriors of the country of stars to let those heretics understand the power of the stars and the sea!" ”
Although Alekmu disagreed with O'Raoya's opinion, he said respectfully: "Then I will wait here for your good news. ”
Seeing that everyone was about to end the meeting, Green quickly asked the doubts in his heart, "There are many powerful wizards in the Dawn Church, and we have a lot of wizards here, wouldn't it be better if we joined forces to go over together?" ”
O'Raua looked at the rest, who remained silent.
"Humph!" O'Raua walked out directly, "The prophet didn't say, then there is no need!" ”
Neither men nor witches are willing to join the battlefield.
It's okay to steal chickens and dogs, kill people and sell goods, or dig up corpses for scientific research, but you don't want to really participate in the war.
The Church of the Stars doesn't need to be on its own, and the wizards in the Council continue to hide their identities.
Fighting the Church of Dawn is not an easy task, these barbarians have no brains to kill you, and they are not willing to follow.
Alekmu looked at the prince of the kingdom of Durela.
"Your Highness Fidinan, are you going to leave together tomorrow?"
Fei Denan thought he was definitely going to go, but now he looked at Alikmu in surprise.
"Can I not go?"
The surrounding envoys and delegates all looked at the prince with a sneer at this time, very disdainful of his performance.
Cowards are not only discriminated against by barbarians, but also ridiculed and insulted in a normal feudal state.
Alikmu said calmly: "Of course, you are the only remaining bloodline of the Durella Kingdom, until we rescue the rest of the Durella royal bloodline, you should protect yourself well." ”
"However, if you are willing to fight valiantly, we will not force you to stay behind, and the Prophet has great respect for those valiant warriors."
Fidnan had just escaped from the pursuit, and at this point he didn't want to face those papal knights at all.
"I ...... I think I'm still waiting here, I'm willing to join the Church of the Stars and believe in the great God of the Stars! ”
Fednan quickly joined the Church of the Stars with his mouth.
Alikmu nodded and said, "You're right, preserving the bloodline of the Durella Kingdom is a very important matter. ”
The meeting ended quickly, and except for the one hundred reinforcements from the Kogiako Kingdom and the combat permission of the Haisenli Kingdom, the rest of the kingdoms were all watching from the sidelines.
This is very normal, after all, most kingdoms and the kingdom of stars are not deeply bound.
Strength is built up, and the Vengeance soon sailed quickly to the shores of Durella.
Both the Hokuriku Kingdom and the Haisenli Kingdom were much more relieved, and the passage of the thirty fleets led by the Vengeance made the nobles of the two countries feel that they were protected.
It had only been more than ten days since the Kingdom of Durella was attacked, and it only took five or six days for the Star Church to send troops to the expedition after receiving the news, and this powerful police ability greatly encouraged the nobles of several nearby countries.
The Templars, who had just departed, soon received the inside scoop.
The barbarian legions of the Land of Stars are about to arrive in Port Durella!
The Barbarians' super-powerful mobility allowed the Templars, who had only traveled thirty kilometers in just one day and one night, to quickly turn back and defend the Jewel Chapel in Port Durela.
The location of Port Durella is the same as that of many royal capitals of this era, which is close to the sea, but not exactly close to the sea, at least at a distance.
But in every royal capital near the coast, there will be a river passing through it!
The river is a freshwater river, an important channel for ensuring water for most people, as well as for washing clothes and cooking, as well as for cattle, sheep and livestock, and irrigation.
Especially for irrigation purposes, this is a problem that cannot be solved by drilling wells.
Barbarians have always had the ability to enter rivers along the coast, and if their ships enter the vicinity of a city from a large river, the people around them will be in danger.
At a time when castles and fortresses were not common, the city's nobility was terrified of pirates who came and went.
The knights of the temple soon set up a defensive line by the river.
Originally, I planned to do so, but because it was winter and it was still snowing, the coolies in charge of the work were stiff and the progress of the work was about zero.
Durella is a temperate region, where people can freeze to death if they don't have enough cold supplies due to the sea breeze and humid climate.
The people here are generally the same as a few years ago, the more food they produce, they can't afford to eat, and the nobles exchange cheap food for money, and they don't think about the survival of these ordinary people.
Durella's surplus wool was sold to the north, and the rest of the country's wool was similarly chosen to the more cost-effective north.
So Lawrence's men all wore sweaters, and most of the people in King Durela's capital still wore a single coat or two made of flax.
Sunderland wore a cream-white robe made of fifteen white lambskins, and a gorgeous fur hat made of the fur of exotic animals.
Behind Sunderland is the priest of the Durella Church, who is also the main force that defeated the resistance of the royal family of Durella this time.
A group of people stood by the tower wall outside the cathedral, looking at the houses and the river in the distance, and at this huge city of 100,000 people.
Farther out into the sea, more than thirty large ships were slowly approaching.
Sunderland was not worried, for there was a huge contingent of a hundred knights and ten thousand devotees on the banks of the river below.
At this moment, Sunderland turned his back to the believers and enemies outside the city, and opened his arms to the priests in front of him.
"Behold, these are our believers, and the barbarians will be so frightened that they pee their pants when they see them!"
The rest of the priests smiled, and some smiled and nodded.
Huge crowds stood on both sides of the riverbank, and just by looking at it you knew what a huge procession it was!
"Bishop, the barbarians are said to have only come six or seven hundred men, and I wonder how many pieces they will be torn into by our angry cultists."
Sunderland smiled, and was about to tell the priest to learn to be merciful, when there was a loud bang behind him.
Rumble!
The loud noises continued, and when the ships of the Revenge passed first from the riverbank, the peasants and knights standing guard on both sides quickly exploded!
Twenty-four cannon fires broke the knightly formation commanded by the Templar Yas.
Sunderland quickly turned around and grabbed the stone on the wall of the tower, looking at the big ship and the frightened fleeing crowd on either side of the big ship, a twisted look of resentment on his face.
"There's a wizard on that ship! It must be the witchcraft of a male witch! (End of chapter)
