298: Return to Delos
The group quickly deliberated and decided that when everything was ready, Elrens, Dmitry, and Prian would lead a small force composed of an elite combination of land, sea and air forces on an expedition to Pescara, a seaport city on the eastern coast of the Apennines.
Among them, the air force is the strongest, and the main force is composed of the Eastern Floating Fleet and the air combat puppets piloted by the Knights of Partnon, in addition to the two black dragons of Elrens and Jole. No matter against any country's floating fleet, there is a certainty of victory! As for the army, it will be composed of elites selected from the Templar Order and the Anatonian Legion, and its combat effectiveness is also good. And the original weakest navy, due to the addition of the Tiger Shark Knights of the Mermaid Kingdom, has increased in strength sharply, coupled with the Abyss Sea Dragon Leviathan, it is enough to repel any naval fleet of Western Rome.
Everyone was quite satisfied with this plan, such a powerful elite force to attack a harbor city, unless the other party had prepared and Pope Gregory VII personally attacked it, the result would be like the city of Nicaea, and the victory would be easy!
In the previous expedition to Anatonia, Jole originally went with the attitude of robbing the enemy's treasure. He knew that the city of Didonisia had a lot of wealth, but he did not expect that because he was not accustomed to water warfare, he would not have his share in the attack on the city. In the end, although he assisted in the capture of the fortress of Abydos, there were only some bulky standard weapons and equipment in this military stronghold, which were worthless at all. Jole was unhappy about this. But there was nothing to be done, but fortunately, the Trojan king Priam gave a huge reward to everyone in order to express his gratitude for driving away the Eastern Romans. Jole, who had made a lot of achievements, got a large part of it. That's what comforted him a little. Since the last expedition did not reap much benefits, the lazy nature of being a dragon made him less interested in the next battle, and he had already planned to go back to Illyria to sleep. But when he heard that the target this time was Pescara, the most important seaport city in the eastern part of the Apennine continent, his heart became active again.
Since the division of the great Rome, the three most important states of the empire were formed: Western Rome, Holy Rome, and Eastern Rome. Among them, Western Rome, located on the Apennine continent, was a theocratic and feudal dual state. Nominally, it is headed by the Holy See, but internally it is divided into dozens of semi-independent vassal states, the most powerful of which are the three major families of Giulia, Scipio, and Brutus.
In the hundreds of years after the division of the Elder Empire. Although there were many skirmishes in the Western Roman Republic, there were few large-scale wars. The long period of peace has allowed this rich land to accumulate an astonishing amount of wealth, especially since the country is located in the middle of the earth's center of the sea, and the land is mostly coastal. East-West trade was very prosperous. Pescara, on the other hand, is a large commercial port attached to the capital city of Rome. Most of the country's trade with the eastern continents was distributed here, and it was very prosperous.
If you succeed in attacking such a wealthy city, you will definitely get countless treasures! In this way, although a lot of time has been wasted on the continent of Anatonia, Jole also feels that it does not matter. In his imagination, there seemed to be an endless sea of gold coins in front of him, and he was swimming happily in it, the joy and satisfaction were indescribable!
A few days later. Elrens and the others finally arrived at Delos, located in the middle of the Balkans and Anatonian continents.
Here they gathered the Knights of Parthenon, who had already been ordered to prepare for their journey, and prepared to rest here for three days before continuing on their way. At the same time. Oni takes out the damaged Guardian Colossus and asks the great alchemist Antya to find a way to repair it.
The next morning, Elrens took advantage of the rare sunny day of the rainy season to walk and play with Oni on the beautiful island of Delos. Little Lori has a lively and well-behaved personality, and when she is alone with the evil dragon, she is even more enthusiastic and unrestrained, and she seems to have regarded herself as his wife. The two of them walked among the large flowers on the edge of the floating island, full of laughter and laughter along the way, and the mood was very happy.
"Elrens~ Let's see if people look good on this?" asked the ingenious Oni as she made herself a small wreath and put it on her blonde hair, blinking her big cute eyes.
Ellens reached out and pinched her delicate little nose, and said with a smile: "Of course my little princess is good-looking, she looks good in anything!"
When Oni heard this, she immediately smiled happily, but she didn't follow her mouth: "Hmph, sweet tongue, I see you said the same thing to Doshi and Cleo!"
"How can there be such a thing!" the evil dragon immediately flatly denied it, and then leaned into the ear of little Lori and laughed softly: "Actually, you look best without wearing anything!"
"Ahh
Little Lori couldn't help but run away in shame after finishing her anger, and the evil dragon Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and was about to chase after him, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Leviathan and the mermaid prince Prian walking in his direction. Elrens put away his flirtatious smile, coughed and stepped forward to ask, "Why are you two interested in coming here for a walk?
Prian nodded, opened his mouth but did not speak, the look on his face was hesitant and embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do. At this time, Oni also noticed the situation here, and ran back quickly, took Elrens's hand and stood beside him, looking around curiously.
The evil dragon looked at the mermaid prince suspiciously, turned his head and asked Leviathan: "What the hell is going on with you, tell me quickly, why are you spitting and spitting!"
The Abyssal Sea Dragon sighed, pointed at Prian and said to Elrens, "That's it...... They've helped you a lot since you formed an alliance with the Mermaid Kingdom, right?
