Chapter 718, The Army Departs

After the army paused for a day in Bordeaux, the Poseidon Fleet was ready to go. After repeated expansions over the years, the Poseidon Fleet has become a behemoth divided into the First Fleet and the Second Fleet. Only this fleet can carry such a large scale of the Knights' Way Expeditionary Force to reach Haimen Pass.

Prior to this, Ryan also greeted the Principality of Magritte in Estalia, the Principality of Lusini in Tyrell, the Principality of Sartosa, and Mirmidon of the Border Princes. The Poseidon fleet will The Oliver Chamber of Commerce and the Hadrian Chamber of Commerce have made all preparations for resupply at these ports along the established route. The Fairy Church in the Lake has also reached a cooperation agreement with the War Goddess Mirmidia Church in this regard.

Ryan finally survived for a while with his wives Suria, Morgiana, Emilia and Teresa. After staying in Poldero for two days, the king led his servants to board the His own flagship, the Boldero galleon "Landouin" was officially launched.

At the end of October, the season from late autumn to early winter, the "Landuin" and the Poseidon fleet left the Mananen dry dock amidst the farewell of everyone. Ryan and the others waved: "Devin, Dad is going on an expedition, wave goodbye to Dad."

"Oh, goodbye, Dad! Goodbye, Dad!" Little Devonhill said reluctantly, "Daddy is going on an expedition, when will he be back? Mom~"

"Father will definitely return victorious, but it may not be so fast!" Su Liya hugged her son distressedly: "for a while, there is only mother at home, but it's okay, mother Lilith will come to join us soon !"

"That's great, I like Mother Lilith!" Little Devonhill just yelled happily, but the little guy immediately felt something was wrong, and the Queen of the Knight King's face became quite displeased: "You like Lilith even more. Mother Lilith, right? You don't like mother even more?"

"I... also like my mother~" Little Devonhill immediately admitted his cowardice, and the little guy said weakly: "I like both mothers."

Suria was still a little unhappy when she heard the words. This is her son, and she must firmly bind little Devonhill to her. This is the guarantee for her stable queen position, so Devonhill also When she was young, Suria had high demands on her son.

But the fairy in the lake is the opposite. The goddess regards Devonhill more as a beloved toy or pet to express her maternal love. Naturally, Devonhill liked Mama Lilith more.

Fortunately, there is Uncle Angron, and Ryan is a very martial brother. Suria thought that it would be more reliable to have Angron with Little Devonhill, and when Little Devonhill was older, send him to the Go to Karard and receive the orthodox chivalry education.

"Then sister Surya,

I'm also ready to return to the Empire. The moistened and refreshed Countess Emilia walked slowly in front of Suria, and gave the queen a rare face-to-face ceremony: "Next time I will bring Rem and Frederick to see it." you! "

"Okay, Emilia, goodbye, may the lady guide your future." Suria thought to herself that Emilia really never forgets to show off her pair of children, so she simply went to Emilia's little A kiss on the face: "Goodbye."

"My mother and I are leaving first, Mrs. Suria." Then Teresa and Aurora, they also returned to the Ice Wizard Tower in Sharon Forest, Suria greeted lightly, and she also led the With a small army and Morgiana preparing to return to the duke's castle in Jean.

Wearing an ankle-length white dewy pleated dress, with only a pair of white silk feet exposed under the skirt, Morgiana held the golden potion chalice in her hand and rode on the unicorn Sylphine, the lake god The witch walked side by side with Suria, and Morgiana also had a thick blush on her face. She said to Suria unnaturally, "Didn't François send out his unicorn guard?"

"The Unicorn Guard will not set off now, but will wait for the second wave of civilians to set off together." Surya still had a frown on her face: "Such a huge expedition... at least two waves."

"We can only trust him now. This is his decision. Ryan never lets us down, right?" Morgiana is different from Suria, the witch of the lake god has unreasonable trust in Ryan.

"Of course, as the backbone of the kingdom, we must support Ryan." Surya nodded slightly: "Her Highness Morgiana, at this moment, we must unite."

"Yes, obviously, we have reached a consensus." Mogiana nodded slightly: "Lian is not here, we have to help him take care of his territory, his kingdom."

"It is estimated that at least 50,000 civilians will be recruited." Just on the side of the flagship galleon, Ryan was wearing a king's uniform, and said to Karard, who was heavily armed, "I even seriously doubt whether 50,000 civilians are enough." If it is not enough, we must recruit more civilians from the nearest border princes or even the empire."

Just off the coast of Bordeaux, rough waves beat against the side of the ship, and the huge Poseidon fleet was driving along the route. The howling sea breeze, cold air, and cloudless sky made the knights see a different world. color.

Today is also a good day.

"This will be an epic. After decades, the army of chivalry will once again bring judgment to the bad land." Karad sighed: "Honestly speaking, the dwarves have helped us a lot, my lord, we should return them."

"Actually, simple rewards won't make me mobilize such a huge army." Ryan shook his head, and the King of Knights leaned on the railing of the ship: "This is just one of the reasons. What really made me make up my mind was the amazing scenery in Bafeng Mountain. Wealth, Bellegar promised to share at least one-third with us."

"Share?" Callard stroked his goatee. The Holy Grail Grand Knight could understand Ryan's thoughts. He looked around and said, "I know your intentions very well, my lord, but... Creatures like dwarves are greedy and stubborn, are you sure King Belgar won't change his mind because of regret?"

"He swore an oath to the dwarf Lord God Grannie." Ryan complained, "If he hadn't sworn the oath, I wouldn't have launched the knightly expedition."

"I don't know if there is anything suitable for me in the ancestral temple of Bafeng Mountain?" Wearing a soft white, gentle, moist and translucent lotus leaf lotus sleeve one-piece skirt with hips, and a fox fur vest outside, the charming and charming Vero Nika held Ryan's arm, and the king's chief female courtier and magic advisor acted like a baby to Ryan: "Honey, can I choose first?"

Veronica's dress today is very bold. The skirt is only 15 centimeters above her knees, outlining the beautiful body line of Witch Garland. A pair of slender and straight black silk legs are all exposed, and she is wearing a pair of 8 centimeters Her dark brown hair was permed into a wavy shawl, and her sweet almond eyes were full of excitement and excitement. Obviously, she was also very proud of being able to participate in the Great Expedition.

"Really, don't be so ambitious, wait until we conquer Bafeng Mountain." Ryan said to Veronica with some amusement: "We have just set off, and you are all thinking about sharing the spoils? War is not fought like this of!"

"But that's the purpose of our expedition~" Veronica is really satisfied with the status quo. She is now the chief daughter of the Knight King of the Kingdom of Britannia, one of the most powerful human kingdoms in the old world. Courtiers and magic advisors, this status is already equivalent to the royal chief wizard of the empire. She already has a high status and the power to seek the support of the knight army, and the Speaker of the Garland Council, Margarita, even sent a congratulatory message , and designated Veronica as her successor.

Of course, it does not mean that Veronica will be able to successfully take over from Margarita. She still has to wait for the re-election of the council and elders of the next Garland Conference. The festival was held in Sky Dome, and Veronica thought she didn't know if she could make it. If she couldn't, she would wait for the next one. Anyway, Margarita could live for at least a few decades, so there was no need for her to be in a hurry. Succession. Furthermore, Veronica is different from Aurora and Teresa. She has no feelings for the Garland Council and has not left good memories. She has been rooted in Ryan's territory for more than ten years. .

What made her feel even more joyful was the congratulatory message from the chief wizard of the empire, Balshazer-Gert, who publicly recognized her as the chief female courtier. In Veronica's view, this Better news than Margarita instead.

"Thank you, Ms. Veronica, for actually sending an entire group of witches to assist us this time." Callard smiled politely at Veronica: "Your participation has given us a little more confidence in this war. "

"Needless to say, Your Excellency Callard, eliminating evil and purifying the land is the responsibility of every citizen in Brittania. Since I came to the Kingdom of Knights, I have been taken care of by the entire kingdom and supported by a lot of resources. When you need it, my witch group and I should stand up and assist the knights in their war. This is not your war, but our war." Veronica took Ryan's arm and spoke seriously to Carrad He said: "When you enjoy the rights, you must assume the obligations."

"Hehehe~ You are indeed Ms. Veronica." Veronica's words made Karard very comfortable. The sanctuary powerhouse nodded repeatedly, stroked his goatee, and praised: "My Majesty , you have an excellent chief female courtier."

"Hehe~ I think so too." Ryan smiled and looked at Veronica, who was holding her arm and half of her body was pressed against her, and smiled meaningfully: "It's a pity that there are still too few people. If the wizards in the army can Just a little more."

That's right, Veronica's Dawn Witches is said to be a whole witch group, but in fact it is just a small witch group composed of a Sanctuary Witch, a Legendary Witch, a dozen official witches, and dozens of witch apprentices. , this number is too many monks for the entire army of chivalry, too many wolves, too little meat, not enough points, if you really want to count the number, the number of this witch group is not as large as a team of kingdom knights. Normally, a team of knights is about the same It is a company configuration, that is, 100-120 people (except for the Holy Grail Knight and Pegasus Knight, these two are generally 20-30 people in a team).

What Ryan wanted to complain about this was also the so-called "Bretanian Independence Regiment" by the black-hearted Lepp. This mercenary leader claimed to have more than 3,000 swords, but in fact there were less than 600 soldiers capable of fighting, but Even so, the black-hearted Rep, relying on more than 400 infantry and more than 100 pistol cavalry, is enough to sweep a large area near his territory, because the border prince's territory really does not have any decent army, this mercenary leader is outstanding Commanding ability and strong personal bravery, coupled with Ryan's intentional support, have allowed him to develop extremely fast. It is said that he has aroused the hostility of the largest cities of the border princes, Mirmiden and Okendorf.

"Magic is a rare resource." Ryan was still helpless about this: "Kalad, you should have a female courtier yourself, but now we have to give you a witch. You are wasting public resources."

"This cannot be forced." Callard was a little embarrassed when he talked about this question. He put his hands on the guardrail in embarrassment and lowered his head: "Since the incident with Elizabeth, I have been really distressed about this, I know I I can’t let my family be extinct, and I can’t always be single, you’ve told me too, but I’m just... a little unnatural, it’s hard for me to describe this feeling, I’m just a little scared about it, afraid of repeating the same mistakes.”

"You may need to open your heart, Callard." Ryan complained: "Or, you don't care about this at all, you just need an heir, right? What are you afraid of repeating the same mistakes, you just need..."

"Okay, my lord." Callard was blushed by Ryan's words, and the forty-something Holy Grail hurriedly said: "Do you want to attend the poetry meeting in the cabin tonight?"

"No, I'll spend the night in my room." Ryan shook his head: "My poetry level is really not very good. If I'm here, everyone will definitely not let it go. Go ahead and have fun."

"Okay, I wish you a happy time too." Callard nodded, he greeted Ryan, and left: "I'm sorry."

Seeing Callard leave, Ryan said to Veronica: "Let's go back to the room too."

"Let me think about it, who should I assign to Lord Carrad?" Veronica took Ryan's arm, and Witch Garland's sweet face showed a thoughtful look: "We must find a suitable one, who cooperates tacitly, Otherwise, the power of the wizard will be greatly reduced."

"It will take more than a month from here to Haimen Pass, and you still have a lot of time to think about it." Ryan nodded: "With Karard participating, we have more confidence in this great expedition."

"The main reason is..." Veronica was waiting to say more, at this moment, a gust of sea breeze blew towards the deck, messing up Veronica's dress, and Witch Garland could only feel the strong cool wind passing through. Her own body, Veronica immediately screamed, her face flushed, she quickly reached out and pressed her skirt, clamped a pair of black silk legs and squatted down: "Damn! Oh my god, ah, I'm so cold, Ryan , You are so weak! It's all your fault, this feeling...is chilly!"

"Hahaha~" Ryan smiled maliciously, he stretched out his hand and slowly helped Veronica up, put his arms around her waist, and kissed her lightly on the lips: "Honey, that's obviously you The psychological effect, this wolford velvet pantyhose is thickened, so you won't feel cold!"

Veronica blushed to death, she pinched Ryan's arm in embarrassment and annoyance: "You bastard, it's not for you! God, I'm really crazy, go back to the room quickly, if you don't do this again I'm going to be angry."

"Okay, okay, let's go back to the room right away." Seeing that there was no one around, Ryan simply hugged Veronica by the waist: "Olika should have cleaned up the room."

"By the way, I also want to talk to you about how the Witch Group and the knightly army work together."
