Throughout the ceremony, Grete stood at the edge of the red carpet and watched with interest.
Watching Earl Islett lead the squadron commanders forward quickly and come to the front of the throne;
Watching them perform military salutes uniformly and collectively greet the Queen;
Watching the queen put a medal on the earl, she then pulled out her sword and tapped his shoulder, conferring him the title of Knight of the Guard;
Watching Earl Islett stand up and stand on the side of the throne, he reported to the Queen, or rather announced to the guests present, the course of this battle:
"Our fleet set off on October 7th and arrived at Bes Bay after two months of sailing..."
Grete listened quietly for a long time before he realized that this battle involved four fleets setting off separately to perform different tasks.
The two royal fleets sailed straight into the New World, found a place to ambush, and waited quietly; the two parliamentary fleets were divided into two groups to pick up people:
One group headed north to the Hermon Peninsula to meet the barbarians who had been ready to go. After receiving the people, they drove directly west to the northern tip of the New World, and then went south along the coastline.
The other branch went south to the northern end of the Black Continent to greet the vampires and orcs who were scheduled to meet there. It has to be said that this time the vampires and orcs also spent a lot of money:
All the vampires slept in coffins and were transported by the orcs' small smuggling boats all the way out of the Continental Sea and sent to the northern end of the Black Continent, the exit of the Continental Sea, and the port outside the Tarik Strait. The dangers and hardships involved are difficult to describe;
And the large army of the orcs carried dry food on their backs and rode camels across thousands of miles of desert. Only in this way could they avoid the eyes of the Glorious Holy See and board the parliament's ocean-going ships without knowing it.
In the end, four fleets, consisting of 150 ships, blocked the returning fleet of the Glorious Holy See near La Habana, the capital of the Storm Islands, in the Gulf of Tarsas.
150 to 50.
Vampires, orcs, and humans, a total of 4 legends are present.
The two newly launched sail battleships, the Victory belonging to the royal family and the Humpback Whale belonging to the Magic Council, as well as the alchemist Philosopher's Stone, attacked from three sides and besieged the Unicorn, the flagship of the Holy See's escort fleet.
During the battle, the Cardinal who was on board the Unicorn was forced to burn his life and released a divine spell, but still failed to turn the tide of the battle.
"Wow……"
Serila's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she exclaimed in a low voice. She stared at Earl Islit, and quietly stretched out a finger to poke Grete's waist sideways:
"God's Descent Technique! I heard my father say that even an adult dragon can't handle this kind of magic!"
……That is.
A legendary level spell?
Even if it's a dragon, if it's not legendary, it's best not to fight hard even if it's legendary. Spells are too variable. You can dodge if you can.
Just from this magic trick, one can already imagine how thrilling the battle was at that time. 4 squadrons, 150 ships, only a little over 120 returned in the end, a loss of nearly 1/5.
Of course, the main ones that were damaged were small boats, and most of them were converted into fire boats to block the exit of the bay. There were also some that were unable to escape during the divine descending technique, or were damaged by bombs.
"What about people?"
Hearing this, the Queen leaned forward slightly and quickly asked:
"Where are my brave warriors?"
"Thanks to Queen Hongfu, the sacrifices of the soldiers are not serious." The earl bowed and replied:
"Barbarians and orcs are mainly responsible for fighting in gangs. Our people don't do much close combat..."
The guests present laughed softly. Grete also smiled slightly:
Although he has a good impression of those honest barbarians and forthright orcs, in any case, only humans are his kin.
Knowing that relatively few of my own clan members die makes me happy no matter what.
After reporting the battle, he continued to report the results. Earl Islit bowed and saluted and said loudly:
"Your Majesty the Queen, in this war, we blocked 50 ships of the Glorious Holy See in the bay, and not one of them escaped. 23 ships were scuttled and 27 were captured, including the flagship Unicorn."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, and his tone suddenly rose high, shaking the whole audience:
"All of us have unanimously decided to dedicate the most valuable treasure among the spoils to your Majesty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two trumpeters at the entrance of the hall blew the brass horns again. Amidst the sound of the horns, a long line of sailors, working in groups of two and two, carried rectangular shallow dishes and delivered gold, silver and jewelry directly to
In front of the emperor.
"Wow……"
Miss Silver Dragon whispered again. This time, Gretel rushed to apply a round of armor to himself, and then attached a barbarian power, and finally resisted her subconscious grasp.
The first thing you lift is a golden disk with a diameter of more than two feet, on which are engraved human faces, the sun, numerous rings and endless symbols;
The second one is a golden mask that is half as tall as a man. The feathers decorated on it clearly belong to a high-level magical beast;
The third lift is a gold crown inlaid with countless emeralds. The lower part of the crown is saddle-shaped, with a vase-shaped upper part standing in the middle, and two curved gold handles connected on both sides;
The fourth one is a golden scepter that is as tall as a person, with a golden disc with a diameter of one foot attached to the top. Every time the two knights carrying it take a step, the wooden disc creaks in pain, and Gretel is very worried about it.
Break off...
"Cerilla, Serela!"
Gretel shouted softly and struggled hard. Miss Silver Dragon quickly let go as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Gretel finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't let go, he would have to apply healing skills to himself...
After presenting the representative treasures, Earl Islett continued to introduce everyone's achievements to the Queen. The Queen followed suit and rewarded generously:
"The commander of the First Squadron, Lord Yeovil, led the fleet to block the Gulf of Tarsas. He took the lead and faced the Holy See fleet..."
"Great Knight Yeovil, I confer upon you the title of Vice Admiral and the Order of Thorns. I hope you will continue your efforts and make greater contributions to the kingdom..."
"Commander of the Second Squadron, Grand Knight Briot... Formation Killing of the Holy Knights of the Glorious Holy See, Deputy Commander Knight Vieri..."
"Confer the title of...Vice Admiral of the Navy...award the Medal of Thorns..."
"Commander of the Third Squadron, Lord Knight Derek..."
"Awarding of the Medal of Narcissus..."
"Commander of the Fourth Squadron..."
Gretel listened boredly, looking at the queen intently from time to time to observe her condition. The queen was also really tough, standing there with a belly that was eight or nine months old, with a friendly attitude and a sincere smile.
It's like the doctors and nurses in the hospital in the previous life who were still working when they were about to give birth. It is said that the director of their obstetrics and gynecology department was busy until delivery in the early years. He was still delivering babies for others in the morning, and lying on the delivery bed by himself in the afternoon...
You must act according to your ability and don’t work too hard and get pregnant! Even if magic can help, it can’t be used forever!
After the four squadron commanders, a long line of meritorious officers were led up one after another. There were captains, boatswain, gunnery chiefs, and spellcasters responsible for various aspects of work:
Gretel almost fell asleep after listening to it. Or, if there weren't other care recipients to observe, he would have really fallen asleep. Ah, when will it end? Can they be allowed to freely visit those gold and jewelry...
"Mage Nordmark, with his excellent medical skills, has made outstanding contributions to the health of fleet members..."
"Nordmark Mage!"
ah?
What?!
Why should I get the medal?!
You didn’t even notify me in advance!
