Eight hundred and fourteenth chapter strong return
From late spring to early summer in Saint Laurent, the sun is shining brightly and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
The Ancient Spear is like an eagle, sailing in the sky with white clouds. Hutao is lying next to the railing, overlooking the vast blue sea.
This is the best tourist season of the year, so the offshore waters are full of cruise ships, plus fishing boats out to sea, which are densely dotted, creating a happy and peaceful scene.
"As a citizen of the nine empires, you are indeed happy!"
Su Ya lamented that although the war between great empires was like a world war, generally no one dared to provoke it, unlike those second- and third-rate countries where disputes continued every day, especially in places where racial and religious conflicts intensified. They were simply a powder keg. Every day
They're all exploding.
"uncertain!"
Juliet curled her lips. She was from Saint-Jyltland, but she still had a hard life. As for lazy, her father might be, but her mother worked so hard that she only slept five hours a day, but she still couldn't fill her stomach.
The black-hand dwarves have never been out of the underground world, so watching all this feels particularly fresh. Some people are also allergic to sunlight, but after Xia Luo's treatment, their symptoms have eased a lot.
Seeing the sunshine again after a year should have felt like a relief as the dark clouds above were gone, but Downton had a gloomy face and had been in the captain's cabin for two days and nights.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Downton leaned back on his chair, holding a cup of tea that had already cooled down, and stared intently at the map of Frankfurt hanging on the wall. Several key locations in the Western Territory were marked with bright red crosses.
"Is something wrong?"
Downton glanced at it and found that Twilight was about to speak but stopped.
"Um!"
Twilight nodded slightly.
"Are you leaving?"
Downton knew that Twilight was looking for someone and that time was very tight. After leaving the underground, she did not leave immediately. She was obviously hesitating whether to help him defend himself against foreign enemies.
Twilight is silent.
"It doesn't matter, they're just some trash fish. They can't conquer my Western Territory." Downton stood up and asked Twilight, "Maybe when we meet next time, I will be the new king of the Western Territory."
"I'm really sorry to leave at this time, but I don't have time to waste."
Twilight was in pain, leaving her friends when they were in danger. This was too shameless, but her remaining time was numbered, and if she couldn't make it in time, the entire empire might be destroyed.
"Shh!"
Downton put his left index finger to his lips, signaling Twilight to be silent.
"What you said is too foreign. Believe me, next time I will invite you as a guest to the palace in Frankfurt as my host."
"Okay, I just want to say one thing, don't call yourself the king too early. It's the same as being the king of a third-rate country. But if you wear the title of regicide, you will definitely not be able to integrate into the upper class society. Any king will instinctively
I hate this kind of guy who commits such sins."
Twilight warned sincerely.
"you mean?"
Downton frowned.
"With your ability, it will not be a problem to conquer a territory in the north. When you are strong enough to establish a second-rate empire, you can then become king."
Twilight hesitated for a moment and did not say the next words, 'I will help you when the time comes'.
"You really think highly of me!"
Downton shrugged his shoulders.
"The Western Continent is facing a major change, and every ten thousand years, holy wars will occur. Now there are various signs that the evil god has resurrected, and his subordinates are already ready to move. I believe that within ten years, the entire continent will reignite the war.
, when the time comes, it will be time for the continental structure to be re-divided!”
Twilight stated that there is another reason why she doesn't help Downton, and that is the test. If he can't even handle this level of war, then he might as well leave the game early, otherwise he won't be the one to die if he gets involved in the holy war.
One, along with his subordinates and subjects.
"Well, I will try my best!"
Downton nodded.
"Then, I'm leaving!"
Twilight was a very straightforward person and opened the window casually.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Hu Tao and the others?"
Downton came over.
"No!" Twilight jumped out of the window. After a few breaths, a three-headed chimera carried her back up. "Downton, I wish you good luck in the war and good military fortune!"
After performing a heroic military salute, Twilight shook the reins, turned around and flew away, quickly disappearing into the sky.
"What a wonderful girl. If it were me, I would hold her in the palm of my hand!"
The Cheap God looked at Twilight's leaving figure and sighed again. Although Sissi was not bad, she admired Twilight more because of Sissi's strength. Even if her father was helping, it would only add a few hundred years to her life.
But Twilight is different, she can climb towards the legend, and even pursue higher goals.
"Is there any level above legend?"
Downton was surprised.
"Of course, but you won't hear me even if I say it. This is the power of the law, so practice hard. Only in that way can you see more beautiful scenery."
The God of Cheapness lamented.
Downton didn't have time to listen to the cheap news, and was still seizing the time to study the map and formulate emergency tactics. However, less than half an hour after entering the Saint Laurent airspace, a group of gryphon cavalry appeared behind the Ancient Spear and asked to be carried.
The occupants identify themselves.
Although invading airspace is an extreme act that can trigger a war, those who can afford floating battleships are definitely not just fish, so the flying cavalry maintain due etiquette.
"The owner of this battleship is Lord Downton, the Duke of the West in Frankfort!"
Su Ya replied proudly,
"This talkative guy!"
Downton frowned. He knew that his identity had no weight in front of the great empire, and he might even arouse the covetousness of the other party and seize the battleship.
"A young duke from a third-rate country?"
"Tsk, tsk, if you can own a battleship, your strength should be pretty good, right?"
"Even if we are not weak in strength, we cannot change the fact that we are a third-rate country. Please report it quickly. In addition, do you want to detain this battleship?"
There are very few flying cavalry in each country. Therefore, they have a high status. When they look at the battleship again, their eyes are no longer in awe. Instead, they are full of possessiveness. If they present the battleship to the generalissimo, they will definitely be promoted to a higher rank.
"This battleship is so beautiful!"
The cavalry blocked the way, admiring the battleship, almost drooling.
This is the flagship of Emperor Tanan, the King of Barbarians. It goes without saying much about its shape. It shows domineering and grandeur.
"My sister's mentor is Andrea from the Guise family. Do you know her?"
Downton walked onto the deck with a stern face. He got straight to the point, "The other person is the Chief of Guards of Princess Rose Sissi of Bavaria. I'm just dropping by this time!"
The captain of the guard took out his identity plate and waved it. He was serving in the royal family. He naturally knew the bad habits of these soldiers. If there was an opportunity to make money and get a job, he would never let it go.
Sure enough, when they heard Downton announce his identity, the cavalrymen immediately became more respectful and did not dare to glance around. They did not doubt the authenticity of these words. Look at the dwarf soldiers on the deck. They were extremely elite. Ordinary people
Can't afford it.
"As long as you sign this pass, you can leave!"
The cavalry captain hesitated for a moment, but decided to let him go. He was careful not to make any big mistakes. He couldn't afford to offend the Guise family.
"Juliet, go sign it!"
Seeing the captain landing on the deck, Downton gave an order and turned back to the captain's cabin.
The captain didn't feel slighted. Big men all have this temper. If Downton greeted him with a smile, he would feel suspicious.
"What a young prince!"
"Ma Lebi, they must be hereditary family members. If it weren't for the glory of their ancestors, they would definitely be eating shit now. Then there is a chance to do battleship tourism!"
"Stop talking nonsense and quickly report to the local person in charge of the Geese family to confirm the identity of Downton."
The cavalry were talking a lot. One team left, and the other team followed the battleship. They must ensure that they left the Saint Laurent airspace as soon as possible.
…
In the Mud Chain Town on the western border of Delankfurt, thick smoke billowed and screams continued. A group of tough bandits laughed and set fire to looting. The backs of their horses were filled with looted supplies.
"Captain, will there be any trouble? I heard that there is a barbarian regiment in the Western Region, which is very capable of fighting."
"Not only that, there are also many hilly natives, and they are all ogres. I don't know what method the Duke of the West used to make them obey."
"So what if we can fight? Now all the military forces of the Western Region are deployed on the border to guard against the King's Army and the Northern Army. The defense in the hinterland is empty. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to make a windfall, we will be unfavorable to the goddess of luck."
A group of robbers were noisy and very excited. These days were the happiest times in years. There was a great harvest in the Western Region, so what they robbed was full of pockets.
"It's just that those village girls are a bit bad, they really want to play with some noble girls!"
"How about we attack the noble mansion?"
"If you want to die, don't get involved with us. Anyway, if you have money, you can go to the tavern to spend money with the dancers who have tender skin and tender flesh. No one will stop you after you play for a few times."
The robbers are not stupid. The nobles have private armed forces. No matter how small they are, people will be killed if they are beaten. It is still safe to rob civilians.
In previous years, when the common people were poor, the robbers had to take desperate risks and attack the nobles in order to get more money. But this year was different. It was enough to rob the common people who had a lot of gold coins in their pockets.
"Captain, what is that?"
The robbers were laughing and joking. One of them was walking into the barn carrying a kidnapped girl and was about to take a shot. However, he was suddenly stunned because a huge shadow crossed the ground and then enveloped his head.
The other robbers also subconsciously looked up, and then saw a huge battleship staying above.
"Damn it, lower the height and kill them for me!"
Downton held a monocular and witnessed everything that happened in the town. His face turned black with anger. Before the battleship could descend, he eagerly jumped over the side of the ship.
"Is this the legendary airship that only rich and noble families can afford?"
"It seems like someone jumped down?"
The robbers were still looking around when they suddenly noticed that a person had fallen down. They were all startled. They were about to go over to pick up the body to see if they could make a fortune, but they found a pair of orange-red sticks suddenly unfolded from behind the person.
The flame wings, under the dazzling sunlight, are beyond gorgeous. (To be continued...)
