141-142 (A)
After the evening, the snow and rain finally stopped for a while, but the cold of the night did not abate at all. The camp of Nicaea was filled with a damp, icy mist, and it was slippery everywhere.
Inside the king's tent, the constant burning bonfire drove away the chill, and Justinian and Belisarius drank opposite each other, but they had no appetite for the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table. Ever since the Abyssal Sea Dragons attacked the Nicaean fleet and Narcissus decided to lead the attack, they had been waiting here for a long time.
Just when the two of them were waiting a little impatiently, a guard walked in from outside with a happy face on his face and reported loudly: "Bixia! Master Narcissus personally led the fleet to discover the sea monster that attacked us! Now that the enemy has fled with injuries, the master is directing the fleet to pursue with all his might!"
"Great!" The young king finally let go of his heart and said happily: "This sea dragon has not been taught a long lesson by our sealed magic power, and it dares to be our enemy, this time we must kill it all!"
The guards quickly took the order, Justinian turned his head with a smile, picked up the wine glass in his hand and motioned to the field marshal: "Finally got rid of that annoying monster, let's have a drink!"
Belisarius raised his glass to him, but bowed his head and did not speak, his expression still worried.
The young king asked curiously, "Why is Aiqing sullen, do you think there is anything wrong with this?"
The field marshal nodded and said: "I don't think this matter is simple, although Leviathan is a demonic beast, it will not come to attack us alone for no reason, there must be some conspiracy behind this." I don't think Master Narcissus should continue the pursuit, since the other party is already injured and no longer poses a threat, let him escape. It is imperative to besiege Byzantium, and there must be no surprises in order to pursue a demonic beast. ”
Justinian pinched his chin and pondered for a while: "What you said does make sense, I'll ...... it now"
Before the young king could finish his sentence, one of the guards rushed in and shouted urgently: "Bixia! Now the enemy has broken through the encirclement of the fleet and landed next to the Galata Fortress! Not only that, but we also have a cruiser and a number of merchant ships and fishing boats sunk, and many more have been damaged!"
"What?!"
Justinian was taken aback and was about to continue his questioning, but unexpectedly, another guard broke into the king's tent and hurriedly reported: "Bixia! The Wizards have discovered that a powerful source of magic has appeared in the distance to the south, and it is rapidly approaching the encirclement, it is likely that the enemy has sent reinforcements to meet the sea monsters attacking us!"
The young king and the field marshal looked at each other, and their faces were very solemn.
Now it is quite obvious that this is a conspiracy set up by the enemy. The other side first used the Abyss Sea Dragon to attack the Nicaean fleet in the south, so that they had to draw warships from the north to support. Then take advantage of the fact that the northern forces are becoming weak, take the opportunity to break through the encirclement and enter the Galata Fortress, not only that, but now there is an unknown and powerful Liliang is rapidly approaching, I don't know what other tricks there are!
Thinking of this, Belisarius said to Justinian in a deep voice: "Bixia, the enemy is trying by all means to enter Byzantium, and there must be a great conspiracy!
On the other side of the battlefield, when the Nicaean ships retreated, a small boat sailed out of the waterway below the Galata Coastal Fortress. The boat slowly approached the damaged water puppet, and several Latin knights on board quickly brought Ellens and the others ashore.
The commander of the fortress was already waiting here, and when the three Elrens arrived, he immediately led several retinues to meet him, and asked cautiously: "I am the commander of the Galata coastal defense fortress, who are you?"
Princess Celestia gracefully gathered her golden hair, which was wet with the splash, nodded and replied, "Your Excellency Gugues, I am Princess Cleo of Pera, this is Elrens, the son of the Black Dragon King, and Ornie, the princess of Athens!"
When Gugus and his entourage heard this, they were immediately taken aback, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, and apologized very respectfully: "I didn't expect that it was several highnesses who came in person, and the villain failed to support in time, so that you were almost injured by the enemy, I am really sorry!"
Cleo smiled, "It's okay, I can understand Your Excellency's cautious decision, and besides, won't we be safe and sound." ”
The commander of the fortress breathed a sigh of relief and said formally: "I wonder what is the important matter of several highnesses who have ventured to break through the encirclement and come here?"
The eldest princess immediately nodded: "That's right! We have extremely important matters to discuss with your country's Balwyn II Bixia, please arrange it for us immediately!"
Gugus nodded but did not speak, in fact, at this moment he still had doubts in his heart, although the few people in front of him claimed to be the princess and prince of the ally, and they did look extraordinary on the outside, but it seemed a little inappropriate to take them to see King Bixia just because of this. As the saying goes, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, who can guarantee that these people are not spies sent by Nicaea, who want to get close to Bixia through bitter meat tricks, and then do bad things?!
Seeing that the commander of the fortress was submissive, but did not act, Cleo understood the reason after thinking about it. She smiled and took off a necklace from her slender and white neck and handed it to Guges: "Please give this token to Balwyn II Bixia, I believe that he will summon us as soon as he sees it." ”
Gu Ges was overjoyed, it turned out that the other party had a token that could prove his identity, and that would be easy to do! So he immediately took the golden necklace, held it carefully in his hand, and then said to the three of them: "In that case, without further ado, please set off with me immediately and go to the Blancheon Palace to ask to see Bixia!"
The commander of the fortress saluted after speaking, and led his entourage to turn around and leave. The three of Ellens hurriedly followed, and after a while, everyone walked along the military corridor under the Galata Tower to the other side of the fortress. I saw dozens of carriages parked here, and a small group of Latin knights rode around the area, apparently ready
