Chapter 405 [Making History?]
Chapter 405 [Creating Zào History?]
A woman's kindness?
Maybe it's a little bit. Chen Daolin did not deny this in his heart. In fact, he felt that even after coming into this world, having experienced too much slaughter himself, and gradually becoming a superior person, a heart became more and more cold and hard, and still retained a little softness and a little kindness - even if it was a woman's kindness, it was not necessarily a bad thing.
Of course, to recruit herdsmen like Moisa, Chen Daolin actually considered more from the perspective of interests.
These are real herdsmen on the grassland, grazing cattle, sheep and horses, it is the natural skill of these people's race. I don't have to spend a penny of my salary, so I got such a group of people to help me raise horses and graze herds, and I can also use the banner of "sheltering" the other party, so that the other party can be grateful to me. This kind of thing is almost equivalent to picking up cheap for nothing, where to find it?
Even Lu Gao's words reminded Chen Daolin: Maybe he walked on the grassland all the way, and he could continue to use this way to recruit a group of free grassland laborers?
In Chen Daolin's view, these grassland people are very valuable, and they have been herding all their lives, and they have several skills: herding, raising livestock, and even acting as simple veterinarians.
Furthermore...... These people can also be equestrian instructors!
Yes, although Chen Daolin knew very well that the era of cavalry would end soon, in the short term, he did not give up his attempt to build a cavalry unit of his own. Cavalry is not easy to build. An infantryman is simple, give a knife to a middle-aged laborer. A shield, at most a simple set of leather armor, a little training for half a month of infantry drills and simple combat skills, you can become a simple infantryman.
Cavalry is not that simple!
Although Martin was born in the Storm Legion and was an excellent cavalry officer, among the tens of thousands of people under his command, few could ride horses. If Martin were to teach the farmer coolies how to ride horses one by one, he would not be able to complete the task by vomiting blood.
It is also a good plan to kidnap 100 well-ridden herdsmen on the grassland to become riding instructors.
Even...... These grassland herders, if they give them enough benefits and temptations. There must be some of them. Will not refuse to pick up a scimitar and ride on a horse and fight for yourself!
"Mr. Lugo. Thinking of this, Chen Daolin couldn't help but shout at Lu Gao.
"What?" Lugo turned his head and glanced at the guy.
"I want to say...... In fact. It's not bad for us to walk slowly along the way. Chen Daolin smiled very weirdly.
Lugo is not a fool after all. He also served as a high-ranking general in the army of the Roland Empire. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed Chen Daolin's sinister intentions, and snorted coldly: "You want to recruit grassland people? This is not an easy matter. Only these herdsmen on the edge of the grassland may listen to your demagoguery and be deceived by you. The deeper you go into the grasslands, the herders are very conservative. ”
"There is no one in this world who cannot be bought, and the key issue is the price. Chen Daolin smiled slightly: "I believe that under the premise of sufficient interests, even the goddess of light will take off her clothes for you." ”
Lu Gao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chen Daolin deeply, and suddenly shook his head: "I feel more and more that you guy, even when you speak, you look like Du Wei's bastard, especially when you roll your eyes-aren't you really the descendant of a certain illegitimate child he left in this world?"
"Hahaha, dear Mr. Lugao, I can assure you that I have nothing to do with that Du Wei copper plate. ”
......
The blue sky is above, and the blue sea is below.
The endless turquoise sea in front of you is as calm as a sleeping baby, and even the warm sea breeze blowing on people's faces is so gentle.
But who would have thought that on this seemingly calm and gentle sea, it has just experienced a terrible disaster that makes people almost never recover?
"Safety!"
"Safety!"
"Safety!"
"Rudder Safety"
"Boat No. 3 is in the right rear, the flag is safe!"
"Damn, the boatswain is gone!!Old El!!!
", who saw Mocott?
"Holy, help!!Come help me!"
"Somebody's going to help me lift the damn sails up there!"
Lan Lan stood quietly on the deck of the bow of the ship, her slender and tall body, her whole body was already in momentum, the thin clothes were attached to her body, showing all the curves of women - but at this moment, none of the sailors on the deck had the heart to look at her.
The blue hair had been glued into strands by the salty seawater, sticking to his forehead. The rope around his waist was still tightly tied.
She was exhausted, and now standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the sea in front of her, which had completely calmed down, there was a deep sense of happiness in her heart like the aftermath of the catastrophe - at this time, looking at the sea, she suddenly had many strange reveries in her heart, and the most surprising thing to her own was that the most frequent thing that appeared in her mind was the familiar and unfamiliar smiling face-yes, in my memory, the guy always had such a smile on his face.
Perhaps, after experiencing a catastrophe and struggling for a life, people will always stimulate the truly hidden thoughts in their hearts.
There was a chaotic shouting of sailors on the deck beside her, but Lan Lan didn't even look back, just breathed the fresh air almost greedily, looking at the endless sea.
(I...... Still alive!Thank you Goddess!!)
Looking at this calm sea, blowing this gentle sea breeze, who would have thought that just a moment ago, the sea was still stormy.
For the first time in her life, Lan Lan saw the horrors of the sea! For the first time, she saw a huge wave that was several times higher than the walls of the imperial capital!
Yes, she saw it with her own eyes. The No. 2 boat, which had more than 100 sailors, was swept directly into the air by the wind more than ten meters above the sea surface under her nose, and then fell heavily into the waves, and was never seen again!
Not even a single plank left!
And she also saw with her own eyes, less than five meters away from herself, two strong sailors were directly slapped into the sea by a wave, and they could no longer be seen in the blink of an eye!
She also saw the torrential rain, it was like someone with a bucket of water pouring water on her head! She even thought the sky was leaking!
It's not like she hasn't seen a tornado before. But she could swear to the goddess that the tornadoes she encountered at sea this time were far more violent and gigantic than the ones she encountered in the northern part of the empire!
She even had a trace of absurd thoughts: What if such a terrible tornado appeared in the imperial capital? Half of the people in the imperial capital will be swept up to the sky.
In fact. The boat Lan Lan was on was spared. Pure luck. Of course, the experienced captain also made a huge contribution, and it was he who took the helm at the crucial moments. The direction of the boat is maintained, and the possibility of being overturned by the waves is minimized.
Although there were several times during this period, Lan Lan felt that this Imperial Sea Soul-level ship had tilted to a trembling angle...... Thanks to the goddess, it still hasn't been turned over after all!
Heavy footsteps came from behind her, and Lan Lan finally glanced back.
Standing behind him was Lord Tacitus, the head of the Holy Knights of the Temple of Light.
This tough guy, who is usually known for his majesty and stern demeanor, looks like a wolf at the moment.
The clothes on his body were also vigorous, and the corners of his clothes were still dripping with water, and the whole person looked as if he had just been fished out of the water, especially his short hair, which was glued into pieces...... Lan Lan glanced at it, and suddenly had a strange thought: it turned out that the knight chief had already been a little tired, but he couldn't see it when his hair was fluffy on weekdays.
The sword at Tashiro's waist was gone—in the midst of the storm he had drawn at the critical moment, cut the noose, and slashed a mast, preventing the ship from being overturned by the wind.
However, the hapless Grand Master of the Order was also in trouble, and a pile of empty barrels wrapped in rope nets suddenly scattered and smashed all over the sky, and Tacitus swung his sword and slashed in the midst of the raging storm, so as to avoid the danger of being smashed directly out of the deck and falling into the sea—but his sword was blown away.
Moreover, the corner of the knight's forehead was swollen high, and it was obvious that despite the knight's strong martial arts, he had not been able to avoid all the barrels flying around.
Of course, no one laughed at Tacitus. First, it was Taccido's bravery in the storm that he cut down the mast and saved the whole ship. Secondly...... The terrible storm just now made everyone completely frightened! In the midst of such a terrible storm, it was lucky to survive. He was a powerful knight commander.
But God doesn't care who you are!
"Thank you to the Goddess, we are all alive. Tacitus's voice was hoarse, a sequel of shouting too hard in the storm.
Lan Lan's body shook, nodded silently, and then glanced at Tacitus: "Lord Knight, our loss ...... Is it big?"
"Sixteen sailors fell overboard and went missing...... I guess I'm afraid ......" Tacitus's face was a little ugly: "The right chord of the hull is a little damaged, I heard the captain say that we must find a place to stop and repair it, otherwise, if there is a small storm, the ship will be in danger of falling apart." And then there's ...... Boat No. 2 is gone, and we all saw them sink into the sea with our own eyes......"
Tacitus's face was horribly gloomy when he said the last sentence.
Lan Lan knew that on the second ship, there were ten Tacitus's subordinates, all of whom were elite knights of the Holy Knights, and one of them had broken through to the realm of high-level warriors, and was a person that Tacitus was very optimistic about.
Pity...... A high-level warrior, who could have bloomed with countless brilliance in the Roland Empire, died so silently on the sea at this moment.
Superb swordsmanship, strong fighting spirit...... And...... Piety and devotion to the goddess could not save his life!
"This is already the third storm. Tacitus' face was cloudy, and he stood beside Lan Lan. Standing side by side with her, his fingers pinched the edge of the boat, and his fingertips even grabbed through the hard wood.
The chief knight gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "We have been on this damned sea for three and a half months! A hundred days have passed! But what have we seen? Hell! Nothing! No!! this fleet is full of experienced seamen! That captain has been running the sea route of the South Seas for half his life! If we set out from the empire and go south, even if we go to the farthest indigenous kingdom of the Nanyangs, the big island, it will only take two months! But we've been eastward for three and a half months, and we haven't seen a grain of sand, let alone any land!"
His fierce eyes stared at Lan Lan: "That damn Darling Chen, what kind of continent in the depths of the sea he said." The mysterious country from which he came. Since he can cross the sea and come to the Roland Empire, then it is impossible for our empire's most elite fleet to walk on the sea for a hundred days without reaching it!!"
Lan Lan didn't speak. She knows. Tacitus's anger at this moment was not directed at himself. He was only angry at the loss of his subordinates.
"That damn Darling Chen, he'd better start praying now! Pray that we can find the damned continent he spoke of, that damn country! Otherwise...... If it turns out that what he said is a lie...... So. If I had the life to go back, I would definitely cut off his dog's head with my own hands!!"
Tacitus slammed his fist into the edge of the boat.
"Actually, we've barely made any valuable discoveries so far this time, haven't we?" Lan Lan said softly.
Tacitus was stunned.
"We went to the Frozen Forest, to the Liszt family, to Freeport, and even to the Rollin family castle. We ran through all the places that the guy had been after he appeared in the Roland Empire, and we found everyone who had come into contact with him - but unfortunately the guy didn't leave any valuable clues. ”
"You mean...... Is that guy lying?" Tacitus raised an eyebrow.
"Nope. Lan Lan shook her head calmly: "I didn't say that, Lord Knight. I mean: we haven't found anything right now, i.e. we can't prove that all the qiē he said is true...... Again, there is no way to prove that he is lying. So ......"
Tacitus was silent for a while, he held his breath for a long time before he spit it out, and said sullenly, "So...... We're just going to have to keep looking east?"
"Yes. Lan Lan nodded, and she looked into the distance: "Even if you go to the end of this ocean...... Perhaps, the end of the world. ”
Tacitus sneered: "If what that guy said is true...... He said that the world is a circular sphere, so there is no zài at the end of your so-called world. According to his theory, if we come to the end, it should be the other side of the Roland Continent...... Maybe we'll land at the end of the steppe people, hahahaha!!"
Tacitus let loose a wild laugh, using this wild laughter to vent the anger in his heart.
Lan Lan was silent for a moment.
After Tacitus's laughter had stopped, Lan Lan turned around and looked at the knight chief calmly: "My lord, if you have laughed enough, then there is a question that needs to wait for your decision. ”
"Decided?"
"Of course. Lan Lan shrugged her shoulders - because her clothes were soaked, her movement made the curve of her chest more and more obvious. However, Tacitus didn't flicker his eyes, he didn't even move his eyes in the slightest, he looked at Lan Lan coldly, frowned, and said, "What's wrong?"
"I know you are very saddened by the ten Holy Knights who died on the second ship, but please don't forget that there are also two of my men on the second ship, even though they are only two low-level magicians and priests. ”
Tacitus looked shocked and said solemnly: "Of course I don't mean to despise them in the slightest, please believe me, Lanlan, I treat all brothers and sisters in the church equally." Of course, I am deeply saddened by their sacrifices, and when I return, I will certainly ask His Majesty the Pope to give them the best of their condolences. ”
"No...... That's not what I meant. Lan Lan said lightly: "When a person dies, he dies...... All of them are gone, and the grief after death is actually meaningless. ”
Seeing that Tacitus's face was a little ugly, Lan Lan sighed: "What I want to remind you is...... Because we have Magicians on our team, we have a special advantage over the average seafaring fleet. That's the supplies. With magical abilities, we can carry magic storage equipment with us, and we can carry a large amount of fresh water, food, and supplies needed for sea voyages in magic storage equipment. It is with these supplies that we can sail on this sea for a full hundred days without any supplies. ”
Tacitus's face suddenly changed!!
"As you and I can see, the second ship is finished. It wasn't just the hundred or so crew members and the people of our church who disappeared with the second ship, not just your ten wonderful holy knights. and two of my sorcerer subordinates...... And also. The storage rings carried by the two sorcerers' subordinates!, as well as the ...... stored inside. Fresh water and food!"
Lan Lan continued in a calm tone, "There are three ships in our fleet. There is no magician on the third ship, so the storage of magic equipment has been kept in my hands when I go out to sea. and in the hands of the magician of the second ship. Now it seems. What we have left...... It's just the contents of the ring in my hand. ”
Lan Lan stretched out her left hand. The royal blue ring on the middle finger of his left hand was revealed.
She said slowly in a tone that was so calm that it was almost indifferent, "I count all the supplies almost every two days, so I can tell you now...... The rest of the materials in this ring in my hand ...... Well. We don't need to count the food, we can catch fish for food at sea, but the fresh water and vegetables are only enough for us to spend three months! Of course, if we save a little, we can maybe last for about 100 days. You know, we fish at sea for food, but if we don't have vegetables for a long time, we're all going to die of disease......! If you don't drink water for three days, you'll die!"
"You mean...... All the supplies we have left are only enough to consume more than three months?"
"Yes. Lan Lan nodded: "Considering that we have gone all the way to the sea, we have not encountered any islands on the sea, and we have not encountered any places that can provide us with supplementary supplies...... In other words, even if we return to the flight, we don't want to get any supplies on the way. So the calculation ......"
"The result is that we only have enough fresh water and supplies to consume for three months...... That is, unless we return to the ship right now!"
"Otherwise, in a few days, when we want to sail back, the fresh water we have will not be enough for us to return to the Roland Empire alive!"
"That's right. ”
Lan Lan's expression at this moment—an indescribably strange smile appeared on her face, and this smile ...... Bordering on cruelty!
She stared at Tacitus and said coldly, "Either we will return to the ship immediately now, and the supplies and fresh water we have can support everyone until everyone returns home alive!" or ...... We continue to go east into the depths of the sea, and if we can't find land in three months, we'll be dead!
“...... Shit, damn it!"
After saying these words, Lan Lan bent down to Tacitus, bowed deeply, and quietly stepped aside.
She knew that the leader of the expedition fleet needed to make a serious decision that would matter everyone's life and death, and at this time, Lan Lan did not intend to interfere with his thoughts.
As for one's own life, is it life or death?
"Whatever. Lan Lan looked at the turquoise sea and smiled lightly: "I've already died once...... It seems like a lot of things...... It's all open......"
The two ships of the flotilla were close together, floating slowly on the sea, and the crew and sailors were busy like ants, tinkering with a place that could be repaired.
In comparison, the third ship suffered the least damage, but the flagship where Lan Lan and Tacitus were located was the most damaged, and the most difficult to repair was the severed mast.
Although the big ships of the Sea Soul class are all three-masted ships, and without a mast, they can barely sail, but the speed is much lower.
Moreover, the damage to the side of the ship on the right is also dangerous.
Keep sailing...... It's really an unknown.
......
In the evening, the two boats were brought together, and after the planks were mounted, the captain of the third ship, and the ecclesiastical staff on board, all came to the flagship to listen to Tacitus' decision.
No one is a fool, and the biggest consequence of the destruction of the second ship is clear to everyone: their supplies are already in short supply.
Tacitus stood by the rudder of the ship, looking at the thirty or so members of the church in front of him, and Lan Lan stood at the front of them.
An unusual flush appeared on the knight's face, and his eyes flickered as if two flames were burning.
"I have made a decision!" Tacitus said coldly, "We have come out this time, and His Majesty the Pope has entrusted us with a greatest and heaviest task! You, each and every one of you, are the elite of the Church! Every one of you has sworn to dedicate a qiē to the Great Goddess! Now, everyone, it is time for you to fulfill your promise! I know that we will face the most terrible challenges, the greatest dangers! We may die...... Yes, each of us is likely to die! but...... This is not an excuse for us to stop there and cowardly get Roland back!!"
Lan Lan stood there, sighing secretly in her heart, she understood that the knight had made a decision.
"I decided...... Let's go on, to the east! to the depths of the sea! We have lost many brothers! We can't let them die in vain! Even if we go to the end of this world, I have to get an answer!!"
Tacitus said at the end, and he drew his saber, a spare weapon he had taken out of the cabin. He slammed the sword into the deck in front of him: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a great mission to revitalize the Church......! Remember, we may all die, but as believers in the Goddess, we are not afraid of death......!
Speaking of this, Tacitus took a deep breath, then exhaled violently, and with all his strength, roared out loud:
"I firmly believe that we will create a !! in history"
No one was against him! All of you present were the most devout and loyal believers in the church.
As for those crews...... They all ate in the fleet fed by the church...... Of course, no one cares what they think.
If anyone resists, the elite of the more than thirty churches, including the powerful Holy Knights, and the Knight Chief Tacitus, can kill all these sailors and crews with a raise of their hands!
"Creation of Zào Historical !!"
"Creation of Zào Historical !!"
More than thirty fanatical church believers shouted!!
Lan Lan stood in front of the crowd, her face calm, and no one could tell what the holy woman in the church was thinking.
Lan Lan couldn't help but raise her head and look at the starry sky.
At night on the sea, the stars are exceptionally bright, as if the entire starry sky is pressed so low that it is within reach......
Lan Lan sighed softly in her heart: "Goddess...... Will she bless us? Why didn't she bless us before? Isn't it...... Goddess...... She doesn't care if we live or die? Or is she ...... Don't save zài at all?"
For the first time in her life, the saint of this church had a crack in the monument of faith in her heart!
(Create zào history?maybe...... But...... Maybe everyone has forgotten about it. History...... There are good and there are ...... Brutal!)
