After the sea ship of Orkney County passed the Victory Sword gathering energy to attack by Sun Knight Gowen, it finally disappeared from the annoying harps, and was able to sail south smoothly on the sea for two days.
However, now they finally encountered a little trouble again.
That's because today's weather at sea is a bit bad, and there seems to be some signs of premature storm before the arrival of
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky were very thick and rolling, and they directly blocked the sunlight. Moreover, the sea breeze is very fast and the waves are a little heavy, but it has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to stop the boat and find a place to shelter the wind. Therefore, this medium-sized warship of Orkney County, the lonely boat on the sea is still shaking the wind and waves quickly, and still stubbornly sailing on the turbulent sea.
""
When I first discovered that the weather was different, Gao Wen was worried that it would rain!
Because he knew that when a sea boat encounters strong winds and rains on the sea, it would be a disaster. At that time, no one on the entire ship would want to rest!
When it starts to rain heavily, not only the sailors on the deck need to check the sails and cables all the time, but under the deck, everyone in the cabin also needs to use various tools to drain the water outside the ship, whether it is pots, pans, buckets, barrels, spoons, or otherwise, if the water keeps pouring into the cabin along the doors or deck gaps, it will sink to a certain extent.
Although wood can float on the sea, this does not include this sea ship full of people, horses and various supplies!
Of course, that bad situation has not happened now
Because Gao Wen saw that there seemed to be no other situations here except for cloudy days and strong winds and waves. Although the sky looked like it was about to rain soon, it was not as if it was alive and did not fall even though the dark clouds were always very rich, making the sunlight in the daylight could not be shined down, but they were just rolling in the wind so willfully.
So, he was puzzled and had to stagger to the bow of the boat and find the middle-aged man who could stand firm without holding onto the edge of the boat or anything else.
Although almost everyone in Orkney County, located in the archipelago, is proficient in water, is not unfamiliar with wind and waves, and is not unfamiliar with seasickness, Gao Wen, who rarely goes to sea for many years, is definitely not as good as the sailors and the captain who are busy on the sea boats in a fast and back trip.
"Captain, is it about to have a storm?"
"Will something go wrong in the boat? Do we need to find a place to dock to shelter the wind, or avoid the heavy rain that is coming?!"
After grabbing a cable, Gao Wen turned to the captain who was standing at the bow of the ship, staring at the front with wide eyes, and occasionally asked the helmsman behind the ship.
Now they are not very far from the coastline on the right. If possible, he hopes to find a suitable place to shore and moor the boat to shelter the wind to avoid the coming or the possible storm! After all, there are still three Gao Wen and sisters in this ship now, as well as fifty powerful heavy armored knights and cavalrymen. Don’t accidentally fall into the sea!
At that time, although the entire army may not be wiped out directly, there will be great casualties, and he will never take that risk!
"No, there is no rain now!"
"Your Highness! Here, these damn clouds are like this. They are just ordinary sea breezes. They are not storms!"
Originally he was the captain, and he didn't need to stay at the bow of the ship to check the sea conditions ahead, but, some of their ship's most experienced, best-looking hands, who were also known as "Hawkeye", were captured by those damn harps the day before yesterday!
Now, I guess that unlucky guy is about to turn into monsters' feces?
Because of this, they have now lost the eyes that are known to be able to see the farthest, and the useless clever ghost who just replaced the lookout position on the top of the mast, in the current situation where the hull is shaking violently by the strong wind, probably has been dizzy and turned to lie in the watchtower and shivering, right?
Therefore, as the captain, he could never entrust the life of the entire ship to the stupid guy above, so he could only run to the bow of the ship and plan to personally guide the helmsman behind him out of this dangerous sea. He was actually not afraid of storms, but he had to be afraid of those damn reefs!
"But Captain, the wind is so strong now that even if it doesn't rain, it should be a good choice for us to find a place to shelter from the wind?"
"Look! The waves in the distance are bigger than here!"
Gao Wen looked at the sails that were blown up by the strong wind, and then looked at the captain in front of him who could stand firmly on the bow of the boat with just two legs. After thinking about it, he still suggested loudly to the other party.
In his opinion, it seems that they are not going to fight, and it seems that there is no impact to arrive at Camelo two days earlier and two days later. So it is better to find a place to hide from the wind and rest first, and wait until tomorrow is calm and then set sail comfortably.
"Your Highness, you're thinking too much!"
"It is not necessary to shelter the wind for the time being. Now we are driving with the wind. We will drive a little further a little longer. After passing a small place called **Ding, and then to another sea area in front, the wind will naturally gradually become smaller! We call this broken place Howling Fjord. It is like this, but today it has not caught up with the good weather, and the wind has become a little stronger!"
"So, please don't worry!"
"Please believe me, it's still dangerous to us on the shore!"
After hearing what the prince said, the captain refuted the other party's proposal without hesitation.
Now in such a place, he will not change his course and move forward! Because the shore is the territory of the Saxons of the barbarians, and it is a dense residential area, where will they stop?
If they accidentally discovered by those crazy guys, they would sneak up on them. Their ships of hundreds of people might not be able to escape! He would not listen to Prince Gao Wen’s death, even if the other party is strong and polite, he would not be loved by them!
He would rather fight against the storm in this Howling Fjord, rather be swayed by strong winds and waves for a long time than be caught by the barbarians and act as slaves or cut off his head with a "click"!
"Also! Your Highness, you should hurry up and stay in the cabin. If you fall into the sea later, we will not be able to pick you up in such a big wave!"
Seeing that the other party was staggering from time to time, the captain frowned and half roared and pointed in the direction of the hatch door.
This is not his nonsense. In this environment, no matter who falls into the sea, he can only leave the will and pray for God's blessing. No one can save him, and he will even have no way to stop the boat!
In the face of such a violent sea, all living beings are equal!
Here, there are no princes and civilians, and there is no distinction between high and low. Only life and death are either to overcome these small storms and gain a way out; or to sink in this sea area and then die! And this is the current situation of sailing in this world. People who go out to sea, especially long-distance voyages, have no less danger than a battle.
"Okay, Captain, you have the final say!!"
He gasped and looked at the surrounding situation. Although he felt helpless, since the other party was sure that there would be no heavy rain and there would be no greater storm. Gao Wen had no choice but to nod, turn around and hold the cables and mast guardrails, etc., and groaned as the waves swayed and violently twisted the wood. He almost felt like he was about to fall apart at any time. He carefully touched it back into the cabin.
Soon, there were only sailors who were still busy outside, as well as strong winds, big waves, and an old captain with his legs standing on the bow of the boat and undulating with the ship.
The various countries and territories in southern Britain, but suddenly became turbulent and turbulent, and the lords, who were originally quite harmonious, began to prepare for wars at the same time, and they didn't know that they were doing that?
The farmers in those places only knew that the lords ordered them to hand over more food and asked for weapons, armor and other things to be prepared, obviously, must be ready to fight!
However, there is basically nothing wrong with the Camelo Kingdom now.
Artoria Pandragorn, who was the princess and in charge of Camelo, was still busy dealing with the political affairs that seemed to never be busy every day, and worrying about how to train the recruits they just recruited! Many things, because there was no suitable helper and knights to help, she needed to do almost all the military and political affairs by herself, which made her feel a little bit of a clone and was suffering from busy and boring things every day.
Of course, today, she has one more thing, that is: the earliest batch of griffin knights in the preparation training office!
She didn't think that she could achieve it overnight, but she just trained about ten new knights, first put up a air force rack, and then slowly trained and developed! Because, now the griffins have settled in this small fortress castle north of Camelo, and the male, female, and young and those who were forced to move in, all of them were as many as 233!
Among them, there are at least about 150 people who can carry manned combat. If this is the case, it can almost form three griffin knights with fifty people.
However, the most terrible thing is that she is stupid, Artoria herself, and now there is not even a griffin knight!
This kind of terrifying creature that only appears in myths is more rare than the sheep cannibals in the north. If a certain palace master had not captured them, many people would have never seen such creatures in their lifetime, let alone riding them.
So, after a day, a certain daemon couldn't wait to announce the recruitment of griffin knights from all the soldiers!
So, now, the preparatory players of about a hundred people, the most powerful soldiers in the army of less than a thousand, came to this fortress renamed the Griffon Castle, surrounded by ten huge yellow-brown adult griffons, and in this large grassland, the preparation and recruitment ceremony for the first Camelo Royal Griffon Knights!
However, things were not as smooth as some dacha king imagined
"Hahaha"
oo
"I'm really laughing to death!"
"Just like them, they still want to be griffin knights? Sister Daimao, let me tell you, a stupid idiot like them will one day be eaten by griffin as food!"
Looking in the distance, another group of soldiers climbed onto the backs of the griffins who were forced to surrender in fear, and then were thrown down one after another during the training of accelerating running and low-altitude flight, and announced to be eliminated. After being watched, little Annie, who had been watching from the side, burst into laughter heartlessly.
In fact, this project to select Griffin Knights is very simple, just three simple requirements:
First, the candidates need to lie on the backs of the griffins and then let them speed up running, turn, jump, etc. If they don’t fall down, they will be considered passing!
Second, if you pass the first level, then start testing the low-altitude project! After running quickly and turning back, the griffins will start gliding on this grassland for a few times at a height of about three to five meters, and those who can stay on the griffins' back will pass the second level.
Third, after passing the second level, the griffin will soon continue to hover and take off, reaching thirty or fifty meters or even higher, and make some tactical actions of large-angle turn and dive. If you still don’t get scared or misfortune falls, you will declare that all of them are qualified!
After passing three levels, they will be the reserve recruits of the Griffon Knights, and will soon join the flight training conducted by the prince Artoria himself every day, and will gloriously become a member of the Griffon Knights!
But unfortunately, the number of people who have passed the test is: zero!
The reason why Anne appeared here was that as a security, Artoria wanted to help her, just to prevent the soldiers from falling from a high altitude to save some of the unlucky guys who were killed by the griffins when they fell!
However, it turns out that Anne is completely unnecessary to be pulled here now! None of the useless Camelo soldiers could reach the third level at all.
During this short time, the idiots chose a full six groups of people!
Except for the dazed king who could move or dive in the sky with the largest white-haired griffon, perfectly completing all the tactical actions she had formulated herself, the six groups of people just now failed without exception!
Among them, twenty-seven people were ruthlessly thrown off and eliminated when they were running and jumping at high speed on the ground. Then, the remaining thirty-three people were all eliminated at the stage of flying at low altitude!
And among the thirty-three of them, the best one was to fly for almost two laps before falling down.
But those who were a little short of them were thrown off in various postures after passing the first level by chance, just as the griffins accelerated and began to fly up and fly!
So, now, apart from staying aside to watch the fun and ridicule the adults, there is nothing she has to do with her.
Anyway, if you fall to the grass at a height of three or five meters, you won’t die. In addition, the physical fitness of the people on earth during this period is still very strong, so she never thought about helping. She just gloated and watched those people look like they were thrown up or lying on the ground, howling and crying.
"Sister Daimao!"
"Didn't I ask you to install those griffin riding gears first and then form your Camelo Royal Griffin Knights? Look, with their stupid guys, you will definitely not be qualified now. You are really in vain today. Why not train those spearmen!"
"besides!"
"I'll tell you quietly. I've just cast a spell to see it. Their square formation turned out to be an oval shape. Just a bunch of people gathered together, and there was no formation at all!"
In the distance, the strong adult griffons looked down at the soldiers who were about to be selected in a normal and arrogant manner. Now let alone Anne, even the animals looked down on those stupid guys!
When Annie saw their so-called strongest soldiers climbing up the tall backs of the griffins with the help of the square stool and holding their thick feathered necks firmly, she couldn't help but remind a stubborn sister, Damaojie again.
"If you put your riding gear on, maybe they have successfully passed some of it."
The attitudes of those griffons were actually very obvious. They looked down on the useless soldiers crawling on their backs, and were unhappy to carry them to fly! From the eyes of the ferocious beasts, Anne could see that they did not agree with the "brave" Kamelo soldiers who signed up at all!
Because, they are too weak, neither strength nor courage are enough!
Some people even closed their eyes and screamed when they only flew to a height of five meters, and some almost peeeded and their pants were like that. When the griffins flew to a height of more than hundreds of meters, wouldn’t they be scared to death?!
And if it weren't for the existence of that griffin feather, guys like them wouldn't be able to get close to those fierce big guys at all, right?
Maybe, it will be eaten directly?
Think about it carefully, in the Azeroth world, when griffins appear in groups, it is said that even dragons will have to detour or avoid them from afar! Therefore, if you forcefully carry those useless guys, you may not have any other uses besides forcibly reducing the combat effectiveness of griffins and turning a group of beasts into mounts.
"Riding gear"
"No! If they can't even complete such a simple selection, I will definitely not let them become my griffin knight!"
"My Griffon Knights, as long as the strongest, bravest, and most adaptable to the sky!"
Without thinking, Artoria directly rejected Anne's suggestion and said that she would not wear the griffins on her riding gear and then select her griffins.
Because, she has already regarded these air forces as her Ace of Artoria, as the core force of her Camelo Kingdom and the most powerful external deterrent! She has decided: after the selected griffin knights have been trained and initially formed, they can not only directly grant the "Camelo Royal Griffin Knight" a new title, but also directly obtain a small fiefdom of no man's land about the size of a small village!
She attaches great importance to the Griffon Knights!
Even if no one had used this air force in the British war, Artoria herself could imagine how much help they would bring to herself at that time! Therefore, based on the principle of not being insignificant than being insignificant, she would rather raise the assessment requirements a little than just being infiltrated with anyone else in her Royal Griffon Knights!
Moreover, after her just trying, she felt that it was not difficult to pass her assessment!
As long as you relax, hold the griffin's neck firmly tightly, and then overcome the fear of high altitude instinct in your heart, you can soar in the blue sky! Just now, she had already experienced that feeling of pleasure.
Originally, selection like this was very unreliable, but for some reasons, she was not worried about the loyalty of future griffins, because she controlled the ownership of the griffins in her own hands, and only she could use the golden feather! Once anyone dared to rebel or violate her orders, those fierce big guys could eat the "lunch meat" they carried behind them at any time!
All right
The statement of ‘lunch meat’ was definitely not proposed by Artoria herself, but by a little girl who broke up first, she accidentally heard it.
In short, she would never agree to the selection of riding gears and other things!
Those guys who are afraid and screaming even if they fly up to a height of several meters, even if they are forced to train with riding gear, but those guys who do not have the courage to soar and fight in the sky like eagles, even if they ride griffons, what kind of combat power can they have?
What Artoria wanted was a group of warriors who could spy on the enemy from the sky and ready to prey and kill the enemy at any time, rather than a group of sheep flying in the sky with wings!
"You can do whatever you want, but if you insist on this, you may not even get a griffin knight today!"
"Haha! Look, they really fell down again, right?"
Anne had just finished speaking when she saw the eighth group soldiers participating in the selection fall off the body of the griffins who were running or flying low altitude. And there was an unlucky guy who seemed to have one hand tilted to a strange angle. I don't know if it was a fracture or a dislocated one of his bones. But no matter what, he must have received at least several months of paid vacation, which is excellent.
"You'd better lower your requirements as soon as possible. Those guys are so stupid. They are the best ones?"
"Otherwise, your griffin knight will not be able to get all together for a long time!"
After laughing happily, Annie felt a little depressed again.
She caught the griffin or something, but there is no griffin knight now, which is a bit unfunny. Although the big birds in the distance are very powerful, if they want to rush to the ground to fight, they may be beaten to death!
"It doesn't matter!"
"There is no need to be rushed to this matter. Besides, it takes a lot of time for those riding gears or short spears suitable for high-altitude throwing, so we still have time!"
Even though he saw that there were only the soldiers in the ninth and tenth groups participating in the selection in the end, Artoria still stubbornly planned to continue to act according to her original plan.
As for the soldiers who were training in the military camp in the east of the city, she had no choice but to do so. After all, she couldn't spare much time to train them, so she could only leave them to the low-level officers to deal with it. Anyway, she didn't plan to let those ordinary soldiers participate in the fierce war, as long as they could shout and cheer and then line up a neat formation.
Even an oval square array can do, it will always get better!
Now she is more concerned about the construction of the griffins' riding gear, chest protection, head protection and limb protection armor. Although Anne has given her a complete set of griffins' protective drawings, she is a little anxious about whether the blacksmiths can build it on schedule.
Because, at most ten days will be her crowning date. At that time, she hopes to see at least ten griffin knights wearing gilded armor appear at her crowning ceremony. While intimidating some of the conspirators in Camelo, she can also give the unhonest lords and kingdoms around her a warning?
If you can't recruit griffin knights, just griffin is OK!
"Ha! OK!"
"It's always nothing about me now, right? Look, your 'Camero Royal Griffon Knights' has been wiped out now, and none of them have been selected!"
He smiled and pointed at the tenth group of soldiers who were being thrown off the back by the domineering and arrogant ferocious guys in the distance. Annie ridiculed him without giving him any face.
Now that there is a problem of griffons without knights, let's leave it to the other party to deal with it. She doesn't want to worry about these troublesome things! In a few days, when she secretly launches a few military satellites from the Kopru Star Zone into the orbit of this earth, her strategic sandbox will almost be completed.
At that time, she can use God's vision to hide in the castle and will only lead to great battles! She is very good at fighting and other things! In those simulated battles of Hope, no matter how bad the battle is or how chaotic the command is, she has never lost.
""
"It doesn't matter. I will continue to expand the scope of the selection tomorrow! Even ordinary Camelo citizens can participate in that time!"
"There are tens of thousands of people here in Camelo. I firmly believe that dozens of people can definitely get it together!"
Artoria was also a little upset when she saw the entire spiral of a hundred soldiers, but she quickly decided: tomorrow, she would recruit all the citizens of Camelo and nearby villages. As long as she meets her requirements, both men and women can participate! Moreover, she would also offer at least two senior salary per month of Ori, and then she would definitely be able to select the Royal Griffin Knight who would satisfy her!
"Then whatever you want, I hope you can get it out sooner. I really don't want to help you stare at those stupid guys here!!"
"So stupid, I deserve it if I fell to death!"
In Anne's opinion, the dwarves in the Azeroth world are better at it! Because they are short, small in size, but very strong, and some have special strength. At the same time, due to weight issues, they can also reduce the burden on griffins, so they are the most suitable candidates for griffins!
However, this earth probably doesn't have that kind of dwarf.
But no matter what, Annie is definitely not optimistic about the big soldiers over there. Although they look strong, they are really too heavy. It would be better to change to lighter ones! For example, they are women, or younger ones?
"Huh? Why is that guy here again?"
Annie saw two guys walking on the path in the distance, one of which was an old charlatan in the church. The day before yesterday, the other party wanted to fool him into believing in their God!
"Because soldiers were injured since the first group, and the priests of the Archbishop and their priests had some small magic tricks that were very effective in recovering injuries, so I just sent someone to invite them."
However, what Artoria didn't know was why the Archbishop came in person? Moreover, who was the nun beside him? Judging from the other party's clothing, his status seemed to be very good, but why did she never know that there was such a nun in the church in her previous life?
"oh"
"Forget it, Teebos, let's talk about it after she has done something bad."
Annie glanced at the beautiful big sister over there and didn't care too much. Now she has something more fun to deal with. Even if Merlin really came out, as long as she didn't take the initiative to provoke her, Queen Annie wouldn't bother to pay attention to it.
"Ri'an, Princess Artoria!"
Finally, Archbishop Padrick, who brought a young nun, came to Artoria tremblingly and saluted to some confused daemon.
"Ri'an, Archbishop!"
"I'm sorry, who is this person?"
After greeting her, Artoria looked at the young nun beside the Archbishop who was smiling at her. The other party had a very beautiful appearance, like an elf in the lake, and had an extraordinary temperament, which made her believe that she, including her previous life, had indeed never seen this person!
"Ah, let me introduce you to you: This is Merian Brothus, a temple nun who was sent here from the Roman Archdiocese not long ago!"
"She was on the order of the Pope's crown to inspect the development of the church in Britain, but after coming to Camelo, the nun heard about you, so he planned to stay in Camelo for a while."
At this time, Padric stepped forward and smiled and explained this to Artoria. Then, when he found that the little girl next to him didn't seem to care much about the "Melis" beside him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and his expression became more natural.
"Hello, Princess Artoria, I'm glad to see you!"
"You may not know that I feel very 'admired' for your daring to be king as a woman! So, I took the liberty to let the Archbishop bring me here!"
"I have also heard that you must be a very rebellion in Camelo in such a short time!"
"If I can, I would like to represent the Pope of Rome and bless you at your coronation ceremony later!"
"I believe you must be the greatest queen of Britain, and even the Roman Empire, ever!"
With his blue eyes, he looked at the heroic Artoria Pandragorn in front of him. Looking at the other party's blue robe and silver armor, Meli's eyes flashed for a while, and then he sighed with emotion with seven points and three points.
She could see that the other party's every move these days and the skillful skills in handling government affairs and military affairs were definitely not something that a girl who was just fifteen years old could do! And coupled with the other party's precipitated temperament, Meli was puzzled!
What did Morgan and the little girl next to her whom she didn't dare to look at each other, what did they do to her Artoria and her "Arthur"?!
"Thank you for your compliment!"
"I'm not that powerful, this nun, I just want to try my best to do everything to the best of my life."
""
"So, Princess Artoria, do you mind if I attend your coronation ceremony then?"
"Of course I don't mind!"
"It will be a lifelong honor to have you, the temple nun from Rome, attend and admit it!"
"Thank you for your generosity, I'm really happy!"
"By the way, I heard that your soldiers were injured. I am very good at treating them. Do you need me to take action now?"
Meli pretended to look at the group of soldiers and griffins, although this was not what she was here today.
Chapter completed!
