071: Arrive at the Floating Island
Adonis never expected to meet this goddess in the hearts of countless Olympians in reality, and the captain of the destroyer felt very conflicted and ashamed when he looked at the princess who was even more beautiful and moving than in the picture book. He also knew that his native Athens was secretly fighting against the royal family of Pella, colluding with the vice-regent Melagros to plot to use the funds of the treasury to seize greater power.
As a traditional old-school soldier, Adonis has always supported royal legitimacy and opposes any seizure of power or disobedience. However, on the one hand, his motherland, and on the other hand, the ideals he adheres to, the conflict between the two is really difficult for him to choose!
The captain of the destroyer lowered his head and did not speak, and Cleo soon saw the fierce struggle in his heart, so he smiled slightly and said, "It's good that you recognize me." Adonis, I know you're a decent soldier who has fallen for power and profit, but you're still loyal to the royal family of Pera, right?"
"I, I...... I don't know......" Adonis shook his head and sighed.
Seeing that the other party was still hesitant, Cleo frowned slightly, there was not much time left for them, and if it dragged on, Athenian reinforcements would arrive at any time!
Thinking of this, the eldest princess secretly winked at Elrens, and then said to the destroyer captain: "Weishenme don't know! Have you forgotten that the Ajd family is the royal orthodoxy blessed by the gods? Have you forgotten the oath you made in front of the gods? Fate will not forgive anyone who betrays the royal family and the gods, betrays the oath and ideals! You will fall into hell and suffer forever, your family will be ashamed of your name, and your children will be discriminated against for the rest of their lives!"
The more Adonis listened, the more frightened he became, and his face was as pale as paper. At this moment, Elrens next to him suddenly pulled out the Illusion Evil Sword, pointed at him and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about with this anti-thief?! There are so many prisoners on this ship, I don't believe that no one is willing to cooperate with us! You useless waste, go to hell!!"
After saying that, the evil dragon slashed at it with a sword, and Adonis was immediately frightened and remorseful!
"Wait!"
However, just as Adonis was desperate for death, Princess Cleo's crisp voice suddenly came, and the phantom evil sword suddenly stopped! The sharp blade had already slashed into the destroyer's forehead with a cold light, and the awe-inspiring sword aura emitted was about to break through the skull in just a few minutes. A wisp of blood slowly flowed from the skin that had been torn open by the sword qi, and Adonis, who had been rescued from the brink of death, was paralyzed, his lips trembling and unable to speak.
When Cleo saw that the time was ripe, she pretended to say to Elrens, "I think he is an upright soldier, not a thief, but just a misguided moment, and his sin is not to death." ”
Elrens pursed his lips and did not speak, the princess blinked, and then turned to the destroyer captain and admonished: "Your Excellency, I understand your feelings. But I hope you know that we are not asking you to betray your fatherland, on the contrary, it is the current ruler of Athens who has betrayed the gods for power, and we beg you to save Athens from the mistakes you have made. Work with us and you will be the hero of Athens......"
In the middle of the night, several behemoths appeared on the sea in the distance. A support team consisting of an Athenian cruiser, two destroyers, and ten patrol ships finally arrived at the scene of the battle. They quickly raised their flags, and after receiving Adonis's reply, one of the patrol ships approached the damaged destroyer.
Several Athenian naval soldiers quickly stepped onto the deck, and one of them asked, "Captain Adonis, what the hell is going on here?"
At this time, the dragon, the princess and the others all put on the Athenian naval uniform taken from the captive, and stood behind Adonis, who had already received simple treatment.
Under the guidance of their eyes, the destroyer captain cheered up and took a step forward and replied: "We have just found a very suspicious ship here, and I asked the other party to stop and be inspected, but the other party not only did not listen to the order, but also attacked. We immediately counterattacked and sank the opponent, but the Tiger Shark was also badly damaged and needed to be repaired back to port immediately. ”
The visitor nodded, lately there have often been Nicaan spies near Delos, and even though the Southern Fleet has strengthened its defenses, they still approach with all kinds of disguises and excuses, and once they are discovered, they will desperately resist to the death, which is annoying. The Tiger Shark damaged tonight was Adonis's destroyer, and his words were reasonable and did not arouse suspicion.
So the naval soldier thought for a moment and replied: "I understand, you wait here, I will go back and report the situation to the commander, and see how he handles it." ”
After a few more moments, the cruiser supporting the fleet began to retreat, slowly approaching the Tiger Shark with its stern. The patrol ship assisted in pulling a steel cable out of it and hooking it to the destroyer's bow ramming angle. The naval soldier stood below and shouted to Adonis, "The commander and everyone must stay and salvage the ships that attacked you, so go back to the port for repairs first." ”
Adonis immediately nodded in agreement. Once the steel cables were tightened, the cruiser's massive hull began to tow the Tiger Shark forward. In the dim moonlight, two warships, one large and one small, dragged a long wave and slowly sailed in the direction where Delos Island was.
Elrens and the others returned to the control room, and the captain of the Tiger Shark sighed worriedly, at this moment he stood at the crossroads of life, feeling very confused about his next fate.
Everyone pondered and was silent for a while, and then Cleo asked softly, "Lord Adonis, could you please explain to us the specific situation of Delos?"
Adonis nodded, and replied, "Actually, I don't know much about Delos, this island has been floating in the sky almost all the time, only the priests of the Temple of Wisdom and an elite mage group and the Knights of Parthenon have been stationed on it for a long time, and occasionally some teachers and students from the Athenian Academy of Magic have visited. But our navy has always been only active on the surface of the sea, and we rarely have the opportunity to go to the island. ”
When the crowd heard this, they couldn't help but feel disappointed. They went through a lot of difficulties to finally get here, and they thought that now that the captain of the other party led the way, the difficulty of completing the mission would be greatly reduced. Unexpectedly, the captain didn't know much about the situation on the floating island, and he didn't even have a way to go to the island, so his depression can be imagined.
"Is there really no way?" Elrens frowned and asked, "When I traveled around the world before, I also heard that there is a transfer magic array on Delos Island, which is set up to facilitate the entry and exit of people on the island, and those who use this magic array can quickly travel back and forth to the floating island in a short time. ”
Adonis thought about it again, and then he turned to joy and said, "I know that, so I know! You are referring to the port of Paros that we are about to reach, a large island below Delos, and the base of our Southern Fleet. There is a naval fortress in the center of the port, and every time an outsider visits the floating island, he enters through this fortress and leaves from this fortress, thinking that the magic array should be in there. But the fortress is heavily guarded, and it will be difficult for me to get in without a special reason, let alone so many of you......"
In the early hours of the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, the cruiser finally dragged the Tiger Shark to a port.
The port of Paros is no match for the size of Giant's Port in Pella, a purely deep-water military port built on the cliffs north of the island of Paros. Ten huge piers stretched out into the sea, and dozens of ships of various sizes were quietly moored in the harbor. Heavy coastal defense magic batteries were built at all commanding heights and key entrances and exits on the periphery of the port, and teams of soldiers patrolled back and forth on the shore, and countless torches and dazzling magic searchlights illuminated the pier as bright as day.
The badly damaged Tiger Shark did not enter the dock, but instead went around the front of the harbor and came to a row of giant caves on the edge of the cliff. This group of caves was the Southern Fleet's battleship repair workshop, which was created by manual blasting and hollowing out of rocky mountains.
In order to facilitate the work of the workers, the building was half in the water and half out of the water, and when the destroyer was slowly pulled into the repair shop, it was quickly fixed to a huge repair rack.
Elrence and the others, who had long been dressed in marine uniforms, watched Adonis and the captives who had surrendered, and walked up the stairs to the shore platform of the cave. It's full of messy miscellaneous parts, oil is everywhere, and countless workers in gray-blue uniforms are running around on the platform, busy and non-stop.
In order not to be recognized, Cleo put on a mask at this time, and she lowered her head and whispered to Adonis, "What should we do next?"
Adonis looked around and replied a little nervously, "Normally, at this time, we should go back to our camp. However, the direction of the camp is just the opposite of the direction of the fortress that enters and exits the floating island......"
Just as the two were quietly discussing, a loud noise suddenly sounded outside. When everyone looked up, they saw a group of heavy cavalry suddenly rushing in. They were dressed in uniform dark blue heavy armor, and their mounts were all snow-white and majestic, and they galloped in formation with great momentum. The horses' hooves trampled heavily on the ground, and the sewage and debris raised flew everywhere, and the port workers along the road were frightened to take shelter
