Compared to the three major empires or maritime powers, the sea power of the Holy See is not very strong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The development of the Holy See's power has always been limited to the land, and it has not spent much energy on the development of the sea, after all, although there are many islands in the ocean, there are not many people living in them, except for the British Isles, which is close to the mainland, most of the other islands only have some natives or hidden pirates, and the number often does not exceed 10,000.

It was not easy to subdue these people, because the natives were primitive and ignorant, and the pirates were hiding in Tibet, and they were extremely vicious, so they were not suitable missionaries. Rather than spending a huge amount of money on building a fleet to search for these native pirates, educate them, and convert them, it is better to spend resources on other places where they are more needed.

Although the Duji Martial God Sect is the number one martial arts sect in the world, after all, the family has a big business, and there are still a lot of places that need to spend money, so you can't just be extravagant and wasteful to do some meaningless things.

But even so, it does not mean that the Holy See is helpless against provocations on the sea, the difference is only whether they are willing to do it.

And this time, it is clear that the Holy See has made up its mind to strike hard, and by taking revenge, it will establish its authority on the sea.

Within a few days, the Holy See team arrived in the Spanish city of Gijón, one of the largest ports in Spain and home to the current Royal Spanish Fleet.

Four years ago, the Spanish Armada fought with the strong werewolf in the Beiyang, a big defeat, and finally escaped back not one of the ten, it can be said that the first fleet in the world built by King Philip II of Spain with hard work and courage suddenly existed in name only.

But that voyage was, after all, a request of the Holy See, a contribution to the Holy See, and under the turn of Patriarch Trigo, the Holy See bore most of the loss, and in recent years gave Spain a large amount of money, resources, and manpower support, allowing Spain to re-establish its navy.

Although the newly built Spanish Royal Fleet is not as good as the original Invincible Fleet, it is also the first echelon among several coastal powers, and it is not inferior to England, the Royal Fleet of a large empire like France.

Now, more than 100 warships of all kinds of the Royal Spanish Fleet are safely parked in the harbor of Gijón, and none of them have set sail.

Standing on the edge of the harbor and looking ahead, all of them were tall ships like castle walls, and straight masts towering like forests, and the army was so powerful that it looked like a moving land that could be walked on at any time.

There were not many people from the Holy See, no more than twenty at a rough count, but the momentum exuded by these twenty people was extremely powerful, and it was not inferior to an army of tens of thousands of people.

The vast majority of the ranks were heavily armoured knights, and their weapons varied from two-handed swords, shields, and arrows...... Their armor is marked by a golden cross, a symbol of the Pope's might: members of the Templar Order!

There were three people at the head of the group, and at the front was a middle-aged man in a red and white-trimmed robe, he didn't look strong, his body was a little thin, his eyes were deep and sunken, but his eyes were very bright. It was none other than the last seat of the Pontifical Council of Cardinals, the fourth cardinal, St. Mark!

To his left was a slightly shorter, but sturdy, bearded man who was also wearing a heavy set of Templar armor, but his armor looked a little older, with some scars from slashing and axes, and even slightly deformed in places, to look like a set of battle-hardened armor. And his weapon is also very strange, it is not some offensive weapons such as swords, but a huge iron shield, which is extremely large, as high as a person, nearly a meter and a half wide, and the thickness is also very amazing, carried by him, like a wall, covering his whole person.

To the right of the cardinal, a man dressed in a black robe, with a black hood, and black gloves, wrapped tightly around his body, revealing only one face, an old woman who looked to be forty or fifty years old. She was also thin, but she stood straight, her face was very serious, her lips were pursed, her cheeks were thin, her eyes were sharp, and she had an indescribable cold and murderous aura, as if the temperature around her was lowered by three points. She also had a small silver cross hanging from her neck, hanging from her chest and gently pinching it with her right hand.

Seeing the arrival of the Holy See's procession, a few people immediately walked down from a huge warship by the harbor, led by the commander of the Royal Spanish Navy, General Bazin. He was followed by an old knight in a simple suit of armor and a long riding spear, who looked to be over fifty years old, with an old and old appearance, and there was not much brilliance in his eyes, except for the riding spear in his hand, which he held tightly, standing straight and motionless.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the fleet is fully ready! all supplies have been loaded onto the ship, and the soldiers and sailors are all in place and ready to go!" General Bazin saluted the Fourth Cardinal and the team behind him.

"Oh, so quickly, and your majesty didn't say anything about our requisition of the fleet?" asked the Fourth Cardinal with a smile.

"As everyone knows, Your Majesty and Patriarch Trigo have a deep friendship, both in official cooperation and personal friendship on weekdays are very close, this time Patriarch Trigo was attacked and killed, our Majesty is also heartbroken, and even cried. His Majesty has given an order, and the entire royal fleet is to be put at the disposal and command of the Holy See, just to find that villain and kill him!" General Bazin hurriedly said: "Even if there is any loss, it will not hesitate!"

"If only he had this heart!" After sighing with emotion, the fourth cardinal gave the order: "Then let's stop talking nonsense, let's go straight away, and tell me all the details of the last time by the way! Let's find out the damn strange ship." ”

But General Bazin did not move, but stepped out of the way, revealing the person behind him, and introduced: "This is the 'Fantasy Knight' Don Quixote, my Spanish protector of the martial saint! This is Mr. Columbus, the most outstanding navigator in my Spain, and His Majesty has sent them in the hope that they can help." ”

Glancing at the old knight who looked extremely down, His Excellency the Fourth Cardinal waved his hand: "Don Quixote is not necessary, stay and protect Spain just in case, just take this Navigator with you." ”

With that, he led the people towards the port dock.

Hearing that he had been rejected, the old knight didn't say anything, but leaned sideways and got out of the way.

The Holy See and his entourage followed General Bazin straight onto one of the largest ships, but in just over half an hour, thousands of sails marched from the port, and the huge Royal Spanish fleet set sail one after another, sailing to the horizon in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Looking at the fleet in the distance, the white-haired old knight sighed, rose up, flew into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
