066: Departure!
Meler was furious, but years of struggle forced him to hold back his anger. He also knew that the regent Perdiccas had been spreading rumors about himself everywhere recently, and the Queen Mother was also fueling the trouble, causing many people to believe it. These two shili actually colluded together to target themselves, making him a little difficult to parry for a while. In this case, it is absolutely impossible to lose the support of the Navy again!
Thinking of this, the deputy regent had to temporarily back down: "You're right, it's me who didn't think it through. There's no need to sink the Empire, we just need to intercept it. ”
Ptolemy nodded: "It's good that you understand, in fact, I suspect that the Queen Mother's Jihua is not that simple, and the Empire is probably just a trick to distract us." Recently, the guard named Elrens beside Princess Clio and Princess Doss has disappeared, and perhaps they have other plans, so we must not take them lightly and pay close attention to their every move. ”
Melaculus frowned and asked, "What's the matter with this Elrens, is he very strong?"
The Admiral hesitated for a moment and replied, "I don't know very well. It is said that he used to be a very powerful black dragon, but after being injured, his magic power was sealed, and he did not have any fighting spirit. There are also rumors that he once single-handedly attacked the enemy line and rescued Cleo and the Empire, but I don't think that's very credible."
How much wind and waves can a black dragon with no magic power stir up? The deputy regent shook his head and replied confidently: "In that case, you can rest assured, the Athenians have already laid a net near Delos, and they will send it to the door!"
"Okay, I'll leave everything to you. Ptolemy straightened his clothes and saluted Melaglos: "The navy is busy, so I will stay soon." I hope you will arrange for the supplies on Delos Island to be transported back to Pera as soon as possible, now that our firepower reserves are below one base, if we continue like this, we will collapse by ourselves without the enemy attacking!"
"Don't worry, as long as I find out the movement of the Empire, I will act as Hara immediately. ”
The commander-in-chief of the Navy quickly left the command room.
When he walked away, Mel'agros' face turned gloomy. Ptolemy, this old fellow is not to be trusted, let you be proud for a few days, and when I overthrow Perdiccas, you will be the next unlucky man......
At the same time, somewhere in the south, thousands of miles away.
The soft winter sun shines on the vast blue sea, and in the cloudless sky, only a few seagulls whirl around the mast and chirp, and the breeze brings a faint salty taste, and the eyes are blue.
After a month of preparation and several days of sailing, the expedition had left the waters off the coast of Pera and was slowly approaching the Cyclades, where the island of Delos was located.
There were no dangers along the way, and the abnormal behavior of the Empire successfully attracted everyone's attention, and the message spread by the Queen Mother and Perdiccas made Melaculus have some scruples and did not dare to make a big statement. However, as Ptolemy suspected, the Reich was merely a front.
After careful Jihua, on a dark and quiet night for more than a month, Ellens and the others boarded the Mermaid, the small merchant ship of Old Captain Gelon, on a remote and uninhabited coast, and quietly left Pera and sailed into the vast sea in the south.
The expedition aboard the Mermaid consisted of just over two dozen people, including Princess Cleo, loyal to the royal family of Pera, Eumenes, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Dmitry, the young admiral, Perriande, the Grand Prince of Corinth, and ten of their elite knights. In addition, there are Elrens and Leviathan, the sea dragon from the Northern Dragon Mercenary Regiment, the leader of the Theban warriors, Calofel, the leader of the wolf clan, and several of his Red Wolf Riders.
Their mission is to sneak into Delos as unnoticed as possible, and find an opportunity to take the island's governor, Hormi Onnie, under control. Because the operation needs to be as stealthy as possible, the number of people in the team is small, but they are all strong and battle-hardened, and they are not afraid even in the face of a hundredfold enemy.
After sailing on the surface of the sea for nearly ten days, the Mermaid encountered the Nicaean Navy many times to intercept it, but it was always in danger. The enemy had little interest in this humble little merchant ship, and often searched it at random, and then let it go as long as they handed over a sum of money.
On this morning, Elrens, who had nothing to do, was lying on the deck of the Mermaid looking at the sky, while Princess Celestia Cleo sat next to her with her pink cheeks, staring at him without saying a word.
"Hey, why do you keep looking at me?" the dragon asked, a little dissatisfied.
Cleo was looking at Elrens' handsome features, and she was watching carefully. Suddenly hearing the other party ask, he immediately blushed, and hurriedly quibbled: "I, how can I always look at you~ Don't you just glance at it, and be amorous!"
"I'm in good shape, am I very masculine?" Elrens asked with a grin.
"Phew~" Princess Celestia made a coquettish vomiting motion, and then couldn't help but think of the charming experience of the two of them getting along naked when they fled together some time ago, and her face became even more red.
She hurriedly dispelled the embarrassing thoughts in her mind, and tried to put on a serious expression and said to Elrens: "Let me ask you, you obviously agreed to be my guardian knight, weishenme is not willing to participate in this operation and help me seize the supplies of Delos......? No, don't think I'll help you recover your magic in the future!"
With that, Cleo raised her pretty little chin proudly, turned her back and looked at the sky.
"Damn, this is enough to be wronged!" the evil dragon immediately cried out: "First of all, being a guardian knight only needs to protect you alone, and you are not obliged to risk your life all day to do this and that." Secondly, my mother offered me the reward for this mission, and I didn't mention any conditions. If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't have wanted to say yes! Then again, since I am your guardian knight, you don't dare to confess to your mother, you are afraid that she will know that you have used the secret method of the royal family without permission, right?
Hearing the dragon's words, Princess Celestia was so angry that she couldn't help but turn her head and stare at Elrens again.
In fact, what the evil dragon said was right, if the Queen Mother Olympias knew that Ellens had become Cleo's guardian knight, she would definitely not pay such a big price for ceding Delos Island in order to invite him to participate in the operation, and this blamed herself for not being ready to explain the secret method to the Queen Mother.
But these are not the point, but this guy doesn't have me in his heart at all! Thinking of this, Cleo bit her lip and secretly sighed in her heart: people have paid so much for him, but he is not grateful at all, and he still has to talk about conditions and calculations, hateful villain!
Just when the two were arguing with each other, the originally calm sea suddenly had rough waves!
With the sound of boiling seawater, first a huge pitch-black spiral horn protruded from the surface of the water, and then a huge demonic beast that looked like a snake but not a snake, like a dragon and not a dragon, covered with heavy scale armor and full of spikes and horns, burst out of the sea with a large amount of splash! Elrence fixed his eyes and saw that it was the sea dragon form of the Leviathan.
As soon as Leviathan came out of the water, he opened his bloody mouth full of sharp teeth and shouted: "I found several patrol ships behind the island in front, and another destroyer in front of the right, if I continue to sail forward, I will meet the other party in about half an hour!"
When everyone on the Mermaid heard this, they immediately stepped forward.
The old captain Gron cautiously asked Elrens, "Boss, there are so many warships in front, should we take a detour to avoid each other?"
Old Groon and his son have been stranded in Giantem since helping Ellens and the others reach Pera months ago. Later, he was forced to join the Northern Dragon Mercenary Regiment, and once again piloted his small merchant ship, the Mermaid, to transport the expedition to the waters of Delos. Despite this, he is essentially an ordinary old sailor, and when he hears that there is danger ahead, his first reaction is to run for his life.
Elrens immediately glared at him: "Are you stupid! Why do we have to take a detour? What can a few patrol ships do, just rush over and sink it!"
Gron was startled, but reluctantly took two steps back and did not dare to speak again.
"Are we really going to rush over and confront them?" said Cleo, frowning, "That's not good, in case something happens, this little boat won't be able to withstand a little toss!"
Dmitry also said: "If there is too much noise and it is discovered and surrounded by nearby warships, it will be troublesome." ”
Elrens raised his eyebrows and said, "Looking ahead, what are your plans?"
Everyone was silent for a while, and then Leviathan suggested: "It's better to go this way, there is a coral reef not far east from here, and large warships usually don't go to that kind of shallow water, so you can drive the Mermaid around there." I took the initiative to attack the enemy ships from the other side and lured away all the enemies in the vicinity. When you're far away, I'll find a way to escape, and in a few days we'll meet on the outskirts of the Cyclades......"
