020: Admiral of the Navy
The reluctance of the naval officer to accommodate angered the Leviathan, and the sea monster had always thought that he was the only one who had the final say on the sea, and now that several humans dared to stop him, he couldn't help but exclaim impatiently: "What are you talking about! Do you really think that these two broken ships can stop us?!"
The little princess hurriedly stopped him and persuaded, "Don't be angry. I have a token from my father here, so it shouldn't be a problem. ”
After saying that, she turned around and took off a sparkling gemstone necklace from her slender white neck, and then pressed lightly on the pendant, and the heart-shaped pendant opened from the center to both sides, revealing a small golden badge inside.
Duo Shi picked up the small badge and handed it to the head of the naval officer, and said softly: "Please give this to your general, I believe he will know who we are when he sees it." ”
After taking the small badge, the officer observed for a long time with suspicion, but Zuihou decided to allow Doshi and several escorts to transfer to the destroyer ashore, and arranged for a requisitioned hotel for them to stay.
Early the next morning, Ptolemy, commander-in-chief of the Thessaloniki theater of operations and commander of the navy, sent someone to greet the little princess, and Elrens escorted her into a golden carriage and the command post of the central fortress where the commander was located.
The carriage pulled by ten sturdy horses was at a high speed, and the whole of Giant's Port was like a defensive position of astonishing size, with countless sentry posts and fences along the way, strong fortifications and turrets everywhere, various trenches and communication trenches crisscrossed the ground, and a large group of warriors were building various fortifications in full swing.
Soon after, the two of them reached the front of the central fortress, which consisted of a diamond-shaped main body with a steep outer wall tens of meters high and five long angular auxiliary fortresses, which were huge and unfriendly, and covered for miles in range, and densely packed with trebuchets, crossbows, magic cannons, and other defensive equipment.
After entering the fortress, the two were led along a winding passage to a secret room underground. The chamber was hollowed out from a single rock and had an unpretentious interior, with a few tables in the center filled with papers, and various war zone maps hung on the surrounding rock walls, in front of which several men in admiral gifts were discussing something.
A young man pointed to a certain place on the map and said: "The troops in the northeast corner are a little weak, although the bottomless lake defense line has the advantage of terrain, but the intelligence shows that the enemy army has more than 50,000 troops here, one of them is an elite heavy field army, the other two are mixed garrison troops, two are newly formed militia groups, and the number of magicians and knights exceeds 1,000! We only have 20,000 troops there, and one of them is all new soldiers, and the combat strength is far from being the enemy's opponent, and we must send reinforcements immediately." ”
After hearing this, the tall and strong middle-aged man at the head frowned and replied: "The equipment can support, but there are no more troops, let Seleucus figure out his own way, dig holes, pile up soil, and do whatever he wants...... Ah, here comes our guests. ”
The middle-aged man suddenly noticed that Doshi and Ellens had entered the secret room, so he stopped talking and greeted him with a smile. Duo Shi also generously stretched out her delicate jade hand, showing an elegant smile and said: "Uncle Ptolemy, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
The little princess's delicate hands are as delicate as green onions, her skin is delicate and ruddy, and her perfectly trimmed nails are like five jade beads. Even Ptolemy, nicknamed 'The Wise Man', couldn't help but be fascinated when he saw it. However, after all, the commander of the navy has been in battle for a long time, and quickly controlled his brain, and cautiously gave a kiss to Duo Shi.
Then he raised his head and asked, "Princess, I heard some time ago that you were kidnapped by the black dragon Elrens, so what the hell is going on, you haven't been bullied, have you?"
After speaking, his sharp eyes stared closely at the evil dragon standing next to the princess without saying a word, and felt that this black-robed man was full of evil energy, which was really very suspicious. Elrens was stared at all over the body, did he treat Lao Tzu as a thief?! The evil dragon raised his eyebrows, and he was about to attack.
Duo Shi also sensed the smell of gunpowder, and quickly explained: "It's not like that, in fact, it was just a misunderstanding, I asked Ellens to escort me to Pera, not to be kidnapped. ”
"I see, it's me who is overthinking. Ptolemy nodded, withdrew his murderous gaze for a moment, and invited the two men to sit down in a row of chairs and let the soldiers serve them tea.
The little princess had just sat down, and she was not in the mood to say more pleasantries, so she hurriedly asked, "Uncle Ptolemy, I have something to look for Sister Cleo, I wonder if you can help me contact her?"
After a deep sigh, the commander of the navy said, "Your Highness, I don't know if you have anything to look for Princess Creo, but now that the battle in Pera is becoming more and more fierce and the situation is very dangerous, I am afraid that it is not a good time for you to meet." If there is nothing urgent, you might as well go back to Corinth. ”
"No, I can't go back to Corinth!" said Doshi without hesitation, "I am not afraid of any danger, in fact I have come this time to help Sister Cleo." I brought with me a few knights of the guard, and two hundred warriors, one hundred of whom were the regular army of Thebes, and the other hundred, although mercenaries, were very experienced in combat. So, even if I can't help much, I can protect myself and never cause you trouble. ”
After hearing the princess's words, Ptolemy, commander-in-chief of the Giantport Theater and commander of the navy, couldn't help frowning, holding his chin and thinking for a long time, but he didn't speak. The battlefield was very dangerous, and if the princess was wounded here, he would not be able to explain to King Corinth. But he was in dire need of manpower now, and the two hundred men brought by the princess were not many, but they were better than nothing......
At this moment, a communications soldier suddenly burst in from the outside, and shouted loudly with an anxious face: "Report to the general! The Western War Zone urgently calls for help! A large number of enemy troops have launched an attack from the flank, and they have just broken through the second line of former enemy positions, and even the first high ground of the central defense line has been lost!"
There was a commotion in the secret room, and several staff officers said angrily: "Isn't the commander of the Western War Zone Polibercom?
"Forget it, it's too late to get angry now. Ptolemy waved his hand to stop the angry scolding of the crowd, and ordered in a deep voice: "Order Polybeccon to find a way to reorganize his troops and hold the existing positions at all costs! Order the reserve troops to attack, and must reach the front line before dark, and recapture the first high ground overnight! Order the destroyer detachment to enter the Sermai River and cut off the enemy's retreat! Now I will personally lead my troops to the front line to supervise the battle!"
The messenger immediately took the order, and Ptolemy turned back to Doshi and asked, "Princess, now I am going to the north-western front, where the main road to Pera is. If you already know the danger you're about to face, but choose to stay, then you can set off with me,"
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
In the afternoon of the same day, Elrens and the others joined the Theban warriors and mercenaries and followed the Ptolemy's guards on the road.
The main force of the reserve for emergency reinforcements had already set out in advance, and Ptolemy, escorted by two thousand men, marched northwest along the promenade with the same supplies.
Due to the wide and smooth road and the rush with all their might, the team advanced extremely fast, and was close to the front line before evening.
It's late autumn, and the promenade on the banks of the Sermai River is full of tourists if it weren't for the war. However, now only groups of troops can be seen, the patrol posts on the road are getting denser and denser, and even the sound of artillery fire in the distance can be faintly heard.
The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the sparkling wide river, reflecting a dazzling light. The hills on both sides of the bank are covered with dense forests, and the autumn leaves sway in the wind, like a boundless golden carpet for the earth. The sunset gradually rises in the distance, and the faint wisps of war smoke are mixed together, mixing into the colorful colors of the sky.
The little princess stared blankly at the scenery outside the window, and the dim sunlight sprinkled on her fair and delicate face, setting off the dreamlike purity of an angel. Elrens, who had always been hard-hearted, couldn't help but be a little intoxicated, and couldn't help but reach out and gently pick her up and put her on his lap.
"What are you doing...... Put people down~" Duo Shi blushed and whispered in protest shyly.
Elrens didn't say anything, just reached out and pinched her face, which felt delicate and smooth to the touch. The little princess moved a little but didn't dodge, so she simply lowered her head and let him do anything: "What are you doing~ Don't ...... like this"
"Little girl, you said you didn't want to go home because your father forced you to marry?"
"Hmm~ Father said that he would introduce me to a well-matched young talent, but I don't like the people he is looking for. Doshi's heart began to beat faster.
"Weishenme, aren't they good enough?" asked the dragon curiously.
The little princess twisted the corner of her clothes and replied: "No, they are all excellent, but they always feel a little pretentious...... I like to be generous. ”
"I see, speaking of which, hehe!" Ellens cheekily boasted to himself: "I am the most generous in the entire Balkan continent!"
"You, you're so shameless~ You are also called reckless and generous, lawlessness is almost the same!" The little princess couldn't help but laugh, that smile was pure and beautiful like a summer flower blooming, it was really radiant.
The dragon was about to continue laughing, when the carriage suddenly shook violently, and there was a chaotic shouting outside!
"There's an enemy attack!!"
The sound of enemy attacks sounded from all directions in the west, and Ellens hurriedly looked out the window, only to see a large number of lurking enemy troops suddenly appeared in the calm hills on both sides!
Dressed in tattered green robes and colourful faces, these warriors are undetectable when lurking in ambushes among the hills and trees, and are very agile when attacking. Their ranged attacks are quite accurate, with arrows and magic bullets constantly coming in from all directions. The Commander-in-Chief's Guard suffered a large number of casualties for a while, and screams rang out one after another!
The situation was obviously very bad, and Elrence hurriedly turned to the little princess and said, "You stay in the carriage and don't move, I'll go out and have a look!"
"Ah~ Don't leave anyone here alone!" the little princess panicked when she heard that the dragon was leaving......
