Chapter eight hundred and sixty-one careful plan to steal
"Brother, I have read all the books you lent me before!" In the bridge conference room of the Enterprise, Forgan elegantly handed several books to Ryan: "Give them back to you."
Ryan thought to himself that Fulgan didn't do anything to disturb other people's consciousness. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been grabbed by Petrabo's hair and hammered on the table. Before, Ryan felt sympathy when he heard people say,
Now he feels he deserves it.
Fulgrim's pride and self-confidence were not much compared to those of the high elves. Ryan took the few books he lent to Fulgrim.
"National Geographic of the Old World - The Kingdom of the Knights of Brittany" "The History of the Twelve Principalities of the Kingdom of Knights" "The Legend of the Holy Grail - The Epic of Landuin" "The Encyclopedia of Wild Monsters of Brittany" "The Ancient Mysterious Legend" "
Hymn to the Holy Grail - The Legend of Amanric
"Ode to Guillaume the White Death", "Heraldry Tradition of Britannia", "The Influence of Elf Culture on the Laws of the Kingdom of Knights" and many other Britannia works. Fulgen has been as bored as Ryan recently.
I borrowed a book from Ryan and read it.
"Very good, how do you feel?" Ryan said with a smile.
"These academic books are okay, but the content is too broad and emphasizes the heroic view of history and subjective initiative." Fulgan said easily: "As for these biographies of the Holy Grail Knights, there is no doubt that they are all great.
Heroes, hey, I even admire this guy called Guillaume the White Death
The King of Knights, this man reigned for eighty-nine years, killed one dragon, five Chaos Champions, two Chaos Demons, twelve green-skinned warlords, and fought against five green-skinned giants in the Battle of Armandor.
Warlord, kill them all and drive all the greenskin tribes out of the land of Britannia."
"His Majesty the White Death has always been considered a knight king comparable to His Majesty Arthur." Ryan nodded. Britannia's heyday began with Guillaume. The great feats of this knight king also include
Fight side by side with the wood elves and save the entire world when the wood elves are in danger
During the battle (he single-handedly defeated hundreds of greenskins, and finally killed the big greenskin warlord), the wood elf thanked Guillaume for his help and gave him a pure white pony.
It was a pure-blooded elf war horse with the purest bloodline, hence the nickname White Death.
"It's just that the content is a little too watery." Fulgrim first raised his voice and then suppressed it. The Primarch of the Emperor's Son said casually: "The content in the book is filled with too many gorgeous words, too many compliments and too many irrelevant things.
The description of the content is also mixed with a lot of background introduction, and there is not much real content in one chapter.”
"Hahaha~" Ryan pulled Sulia to sit down. In the conference room sat Fulgen's right-hand man, the deputy commander of the Ashes Legion, Pirazzo, and his magic advisor, the most powerful and greatest Sultan of Arabi.
, Golden Master Karim.
Sulia and Olica both have a good impression of Fulgen and Pirazzo. The former is Ryan's brother, and he is a handsome, extremely elegant, handsome guy, while Pirazzo, despite his face,
He has scars, but his temperament seems to be that of a serious soldier, and after many years of training with Fulgen, he has begun to have the same elegant and unflustered nobility as the legion commander.
This kind of nobility cannot be imitated by ordinary people.
In contrast, Master Jin was particularly unpopular, especially since Lidya Sulia and Orika didn't look down upon him well.
Because this guy started causing trouble immediately after Ryan and others arrived at Arabi. He used his privilege as the Sultan to get a "gift" from Arabi, saying that he would give it to Captain Fulgen and Ryan.
His Majesty.
At first, Ryan and Fulgrim thought it was some kind of gift, whether it was a relic of King Jafar or some mysterious ancient holy relics, or a treasure left by the elves and Cathay (for the first time in history, Cathayans
The one who arrived was Arabi, who was trading with the local Nicohara dynasties. According to records, firearms were first invented by the Cathayans, but now the Cathayans' firearms level has lagged far behind that of the dwarves).
As a result, the gift that Master Jin sent was - six innocent and cute little girls with fair skin, dressed in princess dresses and leather shoes, who were carefully dressed. The youngest among them was eleven years old, and the oldest was only fourteen years old.
The girls opened their eyes wide, looking at Ryan and Fulgen with curiosity, admiration, and a little fear. On one side, they were very afraid of what would happen, but on the other side, they were eager to be chosen, because this might be a change.
The only chance for their destiny.
As a result, when they saw this scene, Fulgen and Ryan immediately had black lines on their faces, and quickly asked Master Jin to withdraw. Fulgen also called Master Jin and cursed him, meaning that he would never do such a thing, and his father
He would not let him go, and before Ryan could even curse, Sulia and Orica each held one arm and dragged him out, covering their eyes to prevent him from looking.
Of course, Sulia and Olika would not give Master Jin a good look, and the most interesting thing is that Master Jin Karim never figured out why Fulgen and Ryan reacted so fiercely. In Master Jin’s view, women are not
Do you feel the most comfortable at this age?
It can only be said that the cultures and customs of both sides are different, and sometimes it is really difficult for humans to understand each other.
"This kind of book has the interest of biography and memoir, and also has artistic processing." Lane said with a smile: "It is normal that the content will be relatively watery. After all, this is not a serious historical record."
"Your serious historical records also have a lot of water in them." Fulgrim complained. At this time, his brother-in-law Julius also walked in, and on the other side, Bertrand, Davout and the commander of the Halberd Battalion Raymond also came.
Enter the conference room one after another.
"Hey, all the content is watery." Ryan also complained: "Take the personal biographies of these Holy Grail Knights as examples. What's not watery? The recklessness and repeated mistakes in his youth are watery. Let's introduce his long family history.
and glorious deeds are
Water, the hardships and trials during the journey are water, so is the collection of knights and attendants. The first battle of a Holy Grail expedition can be written with several chapters, isn’t it also water? As for the trials and insights during the expedition, as well as the experiences and experiences, it is even more water.
It can’t get any more watery.”
"In the end, the only things that can be called dry goods are the things captured after battles and adventures, and the moment when the lady appears. They are not considered water." Ryan spread his hands: "And my answer is standard water.
The answer is, it’s as watery as it gets!”
"Hahahahaha." There were bursts of laughter in the conference room. Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this. For some reason, everyone could feel that Ryan was very resentful about this issue.
After joking for a while, we got down to business. A map of Ulthuan was placed on the table. The conference room on the bridge was not particularly spacious, but it had good lighting and had the unique sense of rigor, simplicity and solidity of the dwarves.
and sense of security, Fulgen first stretched out his finger and clicked on
On the map of Ulthuan: "Our goal of going to Ulthuan this time is to try to enter Lothern and try to find something while negotiating with the high elves. To put it simply, we need enough time to investigate Lothern.
Thern, and the Fire Island near Lothern."
"Therefore, our main goal is not to reach an agreement with the high elves, but to try to pass the negotiation time to prepare for our investigation of Fire Island and planning plans." Forgan continued: "So, this is why Ryan will bring
This Ms. Olica, and that mustache, are the reason why we will also bring the great engineer Jerrick Grimm with us."
"That's right." Ryan nodded, his face also very serious. After all, this matter is related to the resurrection of Sanguinius, and there is only one chance: "The dwarves and dark elves will make the high elves doubt and be hostile to our intentions, but
We are strong at this time, Orica, and it is up to you to tell us our plan."
The dark elf smiled sweetly. She walked to Ryan's side and pushed the long black hair behind her ears: "There are three problems if you want to investigate Fire Island."
"The first problem is the magical fog that protects Lothern. That guy Teclis will solve this problem for us." Orika first pointed her finger at a small island outside Lothern:
"Therefore, the thousands of defenders, hundreds of ballistas and magic weapons on the shining tower at the Lothern portal will not take the initiative to attack us, so there is no need to consider this matter."
"The second problem is that as guests, the high elves will only allow you to operate in the outer areas of Lothern. The high elves have always separated the inner city and the outer city through the magnificent city wall of Lothern. Businessmen and tourists from various countries can only
You can move around in the outer city, but if you want to enter the inner city, you
You have to get permission, and it is a permission personally issued by the Phoenix King's court." Orica chuckled and said: "This is very difficult, unlike us Drucci who can just put on the clothes of Lothern Sea Guards and do it openly.
If you want to go in, you humans must put in some effort."
"Can't sneak in?" Julius always frowned.
"Yes, but the premise is that your magic ability is more powerful than the high-precision mage group stationed behind the giant wall. Not only must you be able to break the magic barrier on the magnificent city wall, but you must also be able to make it invisible to the members of the mage group." Olly
Ka said with a smile: "Otherwise, you will immediately face more than 20,000
There are hundreds of thousands of high elf militiamen named Lothern Sea Guards. I can simply say that every high elf resident is an excellent warrior and spends a small part of their time serving every year. Their combat effectiveness is not
Humans can match it, so I suggest you go to Teclis for help."
"Well, what about the third difficulty?" Ryan then asked.
"The third difficulty is also the most difficult, and that is the Asuryan Temple on Fire Island." Orica continued: "The thing is placed in the Asuryan Temple, but how to get it is a huge problem.
The problem, even Li... I mean, lady can't help you, Asuryan's chosen anointed Kadron led
Leading the Phoenix Guards and groups of phoenixes, as well as a large number of troops stationed here, the most powerful Phoenix Guards dedicated all their lives to the Phoenix Lord here. No one knows how many Phoenix Guards there are, but
At least, there is no doubt that there are one or two thousand phoenix guards and dozens of phoenixes on Lieyan Island."
"Very good." Ryan also felt the difficulty of the problem.
"High elves are also called Phoenix Guards?" Pirazzo focused on the name of the Phoenix Guards.
"They were called Phoenix Guards six thousand years ago." Orika complained.
"I named it this way more than ten thousand years ago." Fulgan emphasized, but he obviously didn't care much about it: "Damn it, I miss the time when I followed him."
"That's not something we should discuss at this time, brother." Ryan signaled that we were digressing: "Faced with such a tight defense, maybe we have to think of something."
"This, we can only wait until we figure out what to do." Fulgen nodded: "Then let's leave it like this for now."
"Our Druzi have some hidden stakes in Lothern, but I need enough time to contact them." Orika looked a little uncertain: "And it has been twenty years since I knew the situation.
It’s been many years, and I don’t know what the situation is now.”
"Very well, Bertrand, Davout, Raymond, all you Old Guards have to do is follow us. As for the Coldstream Guards, Sulia will command them, and Lord Philip Mountbatten will obey.
Your order." Ryan ordered to his subordinates: "Don't act without authorization before receiving the order. It's also best to restrain yourself and don't cause trouble at this critical moment."
"Yes." Bertrand and Davout looked at each other to express their understanding.
"The same applies to the Ashes Legion." Fulgen also nodded: "Don't take action until we understand the situation clearly."
"But aren't we here to form an alliance with the high elves this time?" At this time, Julius finally spoke. He looked at his sister and brother-in-law in confusion, and then said with confusion and indignation.
: "Why do I feel like you are going to be thieves?"
"We are going to form an alliance with the high elves." Ryan raised the corner of his mouth: "Of course, we will become a robber by the way."
"Rogues? There are no grand thieves in the world, only shameless thieves." Julius said displeased: "I always thought that we went to Ulthuan this time to do business and form an alliance, but you are all talking about stealing.
Stuff, steal stuff! Are we here just to steal stuff? This is not chivalry."
Ryan and Fulgen looked at each other and laughed. Everyone in the conference room laughed loudly, leaving only Julius who looked confused and unhappy, and others who were suppressing their laughter and looking at them with reproachful eyes.
His brother Sulia.
At the same time, on the other side, on the deck of the high elf Phoenix giant ship.
The Supreme Mage Teclis, the Council of Magisters of the White Tower of Hoth in the Kingdom of Savre, is standing on the bow of the ship holding Lilith's staff of the moon. He seems to be thinking, of course, he may be in a daze. In short, the Supreme Mage
The mage had been motionless for several minutes.
"Your Majesty the Supreme Mage." Zoltan, the magic swordsman of Hoth, came up and said to Teclis: "Do you really think those humans can help us?"
"..." Tigris turned his head: "Do you need to prove it again?"
"That's not what I meant, Lord Teclis." Zoltan, the magic swordsman of Hoth, was a little embarrassed.
"Asur's prejudice against humans has been around for a long time and has deep prejudices. This is not surprising. When we have made countless sacrifices and fought against various threats, humans are still drinking blood, but this does not mean that humans are useless.
"Teclis said calmly: "We always feel that human beings have to constantly prove themselves, time and time again."
"According to the prophecy of Hoth, the fate of mankind is inseparable from the elves." Zoltan nodded, and the magic swordsman of Hoth thought for a while and then smiled: "But look, who are the humans who visited Ulthuan this time?
Man, that Ash Legion is simply a large group of miscellaneous troops forcibly formed into an army. It is a mess, and even the language is often blocked. It can be united by the commander of the Fulgrim Legion."
"As for the Knight Kingdom of Britannia, it's even more ridiculous." Zoltan couldn't stop laughing: "Hoss, can you believe it? The country known as the second largest human country in the old world actually has a foreign commander.
Men, women and dwarfs? Can such a country win the war?"
"At least they can help us when we attack the Ship Burial Cemetery." Tigris said unhurriedly: "We need their fleet."
"That's right..." "Huh~~~!" Before the Hoth Demonic Swordsman Zoltan could finish all his words, a solid cannonball flying from the side drew a parabola with white smoke from the distance.
It directly bombarded the side of the Phoenix giant ship, sawdust flying, and the railings were blown to pieces. A Lothern sea guard was caught off guard and his head was blown away, and his blood and brains exploded out.
"Enemy attack!!!" The high elves responded immediately. The crew and soldiers ran back and forth on the deck. Teclis calmly took out a monocular and looked into the distance.
At the end of the sea level, black mist filled the air, and a terrifying ghostly giant warship was gradually approaching on the waves. The entire body was pale and dead gray, and the entire cursed ship was covered with cold iron chains and long, filthy, rotten flags.
, the cold it carries is enough to freeze the blood of any living thing in its shadow.
"Boom! Boom boom boom!" The ship was still firing at the Phoenix giant ship, but this time it missed. Several shells fell on the nearby ocean, blasting out several water columns.
More undead ships appeared at the end of the line of sight.
"We are under attack! Prepare to fight! Send a semaphore to the human fleet behind!"
