Chapter 866, Eye of Tal

On the Great Ocean, several days have passed since the previous terrible battle.

The combined human and high-elf fleet was not attacked again. Teclis released a large concealment spell and changed the course, so that although it took more time to reach Ulthuan (about a week), the danger was greatly reduced. Ryan and others agreed to Teclis' plan after discussion.

At the same time, due to the destruction of the giant Phoenix ship, many soldiers of the high elves were forced to live on the Enterprise, which increased the contact between the two sides, and also increased conflicts and contradictions. The strength of these two groups, Fulgrim and Fulgrim, is recognized, but they are still very arrogant when they come into contact with each other, and the dwarves headed by young Sol Green often provoke deliberately, and the two sides broke out on the Enterprise and the Saint Sophia There were several quarrels, but fortunately neither side did anything.

At night, the steam boiler of the Enterprise was still working at full capacity, and the rumbling sound resounded through the quiet night. The great ocean was still choppy as before, and the hot and smelly sea breeze was blowing.

Bertrand, the commander-in-chief of the Old Guards, finished today's duty. He touched his favorite and proud mustache, and walked towards his residence. The Enterprise in the dark night is beautiful, but it is also very noisy, Bertrand Lang knew he had to be able to fall asleep in such a noisy environment.

All the way were the old guards who greeted Bertrand, and the commander responded politely. He had heard rumors that His Majesty Ryan planned to make him a baron, and Bertrand's attitude towards this was true. I will be very grateful, if there is no him, I will not be reluctant. From being a thief in the Charon Forest to now becoming the commander of the Old Guard of Ryan's personal guard, and marrying a daughter of an earl's family as his wife, Bertrand is better than anyone else. They all know how to be grateful, not to mention that Ryan not only sealed his two villages as fiefs, but also paid him a salary of 300 gold crowns a year, which can be said to be very generous.

"Sir, hello." When returning to his room, Bertrand bumped into Raymond, the commander of the old guard's halberd battalion, and his younger brother, who is now a Britannian engineer. Thomas, who has returned from Nur's studies, among the exiled brothers of Lyonnaise, his elder brother has become the commander of the old guard and a legendary strongman with the title of knight, and his younger brother is already a well-respected engineer. The good luck of this family Often envied.

Although he seemed friendly on the surface, Bertrand was still somewhat dissatisfied with Davout's "jumping in the queue" in his heart, but he also knew that the Holy Grail system could not be shaken, so the two parties were just ordinary colleagues. In contrast, Bertrand and Raymond The relationship between them was even better. Seeing that the brothers were on duty, Bertrand simply warmly invited them to have a meal together: "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Not yet." Raymond squeezed out a smile. The battalion commander is actually not very suitable for long-term ocean voyages, and he is not very comfortable.

"Then come to my room to eat, you and Thomas." Bertrand was very comfortable with the current situation, and he warmly invited: "I have shared a lot of good things over there.

I couldn't finish it all by myself. "

"Well, don't need it." Raymond was a little embarrassed. The meals on the Enterprise were all rationed according to the amount, and everyone had a fixed portion. Even as the battalion commander, he just rationed more. Among the guards, only Bertrand and Davout could enjoy the treatment of the small kitchen.

"Hey, it's okay, you keep today's ones first, go to my place, I have ice cream." Bertrand continued with a smile: "Two boxes of ice cream, you will feel better."

"Well, that's fine." Raymond couldn't help licking his lips when he heard the ice cream.

Ice cream is probably the most popular food item on the Enterprise.

As we all know, in ocean voyages, except for the extremely bad, a dirty sea full of stench, resentment, fear, vomiting, many kinds of sea diseases, fever, dysentery, headache, heat, consumption, skin lumps, scurvy, cancer and mouth sores. Along with dirty living quarters, food is also a very serious problem.

The main food for ocean voyages is biscuits, beans, bread, cheese, and cured meat. Although there are few fresh fruits, since the high elves taught humans how to prevent sepsis, ocean-going ships will try to bring some fruits. It looks good, but the problem is that the food is not always clean and hygienic.

Often after a few weeks, the humid air on the ship can easily make the food damp and spoiled, and it will not only deteriorate, but also be infested with worms and maggots, covered with green moss, and the stored fresh water will also begin to deteriorate and turn green, and sewers will appear. Same smell and thick green color.

People have to mix drinks and wine, or even forcefully pinch their noses to swallow hard.

"I promise, black-headed maggots taste much better than weevils, the former taste like chicken, and the latter smell like shit."

——The old sailor of Bordereau

Fortunately, the Enterprise is ready to deal with everything. With the help of the ice witches headed by Aurora and Teresa, an ice bank was built on board to store all kinds of food. The Light Department headed by Veronica The witch has also designed a water purification system. The meals of the sailors and soldiers can ensure health and enough fresh water, but even so, ice cream is still the most popular meal for everyone. The small tin box contains sweet and delicious food. , ice-cold desserts to drive away the summer heat and the discomfort of ocean voyages.

Bertrand's personal room is not big, only eight square meters, and it is almost full when three people sit. Dinner is buttered bread, grilled pizza, sandwiches, fresh vegetables and fruits, and the meat is lobster salad and steak. The old guard's favorite ice cream is indispensable.

While eating, the three of them began to complain, and Raymond said displeasedly: "Really, since those elves came, we can't live a quiet life. They always seem to find faults and are always impatient. We We have given them the best place to live, but they still find it too crowded."

"The high elves are like that." Thomas is now a strong boy. After studying in Nuer for a few years, his knowledge and experience have greatly increased. He graduated from the Nuer Gun Academy with excellent results. The gun factories all sent him contracts, but Thomas always remembered who saved them from the predicament and who made them live a good life. Therefore, after graduation, all the young children studying abroad headed by Thomas All but a few returned to Brittania and worked in the Mousillon Gun Factory, the Mousillon Military Academy, and elsewhere: "Arrogance, self-proclaimed nobility, invincible, but I want to say that in terms of combat effectiveness, Those pointy ears aren't for blowing either."

Of course, Ryan did not treat people like Thomas badly. The King of Knights announced that these children who returned from studying abroad would be given equal pay for equal work.

"I know this." Raymond ate his ice cream, and the battalion commander of the old Guards said vaguely: "If it weren't for the fact that their ship is really dilapidated."

"Speaking of which, this naval battle really came out of nowhere." Bertrand didn't focus on this issue. The commander-in-chief of the old Guards wiped his mustache stained with steak juice, and put down his knives and forks: "Do you have any?" I feel that the undead pirates' ambush this time came extremely ferociously, and the planning was very detailed. First, the ghost fleet appeared to attract a lot of firepower from us, then the drowned fleet appeared from the other side, and finally the sea dragon of the dark elves appeared from behind. It was almost real Got it."

"Yes, I think so too." Raymond also frowned, his mouth was covered with ice cream, and after enjoying this wonderful sweet for a while, Raymond said in a muffled voice: "The only thing the enemy didn't expect was the ironclad ship." What's more, His Majesty and Commander Fulgrim's army are so powerful."

"Isn't it?" Thomas said triumphantly: "The armor of the ironclad ship is made of meteorite and obsidian. How can it be broken at will if it is so strong? As many undead pirates come, they will die. Let them come anyway."

"Don't be complacent, Thomas, half of our artillery shells have been used up in this battle, and the casualties are not small. Counting the Coldstream Guards, we have killed more than a hundred people and dozens of wounded soldiers , If it wasn’t for the medicine given by the high elves, many people would have died of tetanus or wound infection.” Bertrand stared at Thomas coldly: “The casualties of soldiers are not used as military medals for you, engineer.”

"Sorry." Thomas also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and closed his mouth a little ashamedly.

"It would be best if we could reach Ulthuan smoothly." Raymond quickly took up the topic, and the battalion commander of the old Guards thought for a while before saying, "I feel a little tired from the long voyage."

"This is considered royal treatment, boy, this is the ocean, you can eat good frozen meat, white bread, goat cheese, and ice cream!" Bertrand sneered, but then he nodded, I agree with Raymond's point of view: "But you are right. To be on the safe side, we'd better not fight the undead fleet at sea anymore. If we continue to fight, it will only increase casualties."

Thomas hesitated to speak, he picked up a piece of citrus with a silver fork, thought for a while, and said: "But I still think it's a bit strange, I read a lot of descriptions about the army of the undead in Nuer, the undead This creature is very cunning and does not consider casualties. After the first wave of attacks, the other party has roughly determined our position, so why not launch the second wave and the third wave in succession? According to the information we currently know, there are many undead fleets. Like crucian carp crossing the river, these two teams are definitely not the only ones."

"Hmm." Bertrand nodded slowly. The old guard commander thought for a while, and then said, "Have you ever seen that kind of patient old hunter? The old hunter who specializes in hunting ferocious beasts in the forest."

"The old hunter has two characteristics. The first is patience. The old hunter will patiently set up ambushes and traps, put down his tools, and wait quietly for the prey to fall into the trap. The second is calmness. The old hunter will not wait until the last moment. When you are absolutely sure, you will not take it lightly, because it means that you will be exposed." Bertrand continued: "The undead are the most patient, because their time is unlimited. This time, the ambush has a bit of this flavor .”

"The undead did not expect two things this time. The first thing is that the power of the ironclad ship is so amazing, and the opponent lacks armor-piercing artillery. The second thing is that our team's combat effectiveness is amazing."

Both Raymond and Thomas were thoughtful after listening to it. Thomas nodded after thinking about it carefully, but Raymond didn't think so deeply. His idea was simpler, that is, he was worried about when the undead would make a comeback, and the curse in his heart must be The high elves provoked it.

The three of them were dull for a while, and Raymond suddenly said with interest: "Speaking of which, sir, there have been rumors in the army recently that His Majesty Ryan has made great contributions to you because of your long service, and that he is also the commander of the old guards, and plans to seal you up." For the Baron?"

Thomas turned his head with interest when he heard this.

"Where did you hear it? Your Majesty will be granted the title if you want it. Why are there so many rumors? It's just that some guys think that they have been fighting with His Majesty for many years, so they should also be awarded the title of knight." Bertrand shook his head. A former Green Arrow thought about it, and suddenly said with a mockery: "Hey, don't think so much, even if you want to seal it, it will probably be sealed to that guy Nicholas (Davout), who is the real root. I am a native of Bastogne, and I have also received the blessing of the Lady's Holy Grail, let alone the baron, even my status as commander-in-chief will probably be handed over to him."

Both Raymond and Thomas were silent. Who made Davout win the lady's favor and the Holy Grail?

This topic is a sensitive topic. Several people chatted for a while, and after eating, even if it was over, before leaving, Lei Meng suddenly felt that a certain gaze full of primitive anger was flickering in this small room. Sweep over.

Raymond focused his attention on the small Tal icon behind Bertrand, which is an icon made of antlers, oak, and animal skins. Bertrand usually prays to Tal here, But when Raymond looked at the icon, he couldn't feel anything anymore. The battalion commander of the old guard didn't dare to look any further, so he hurriedly bid farewell to his brother.

That night, Bertrand fell asleep amidst the noise of the Enterprise.

In the dream, he seemed to have entered an incomparably sacred place, where a titan with hair all over his body, only using animal skin and bark to wrap himself, and wearing a huge crown of antlers stood proudly in front of the ancient giant forest. Inside, huge trees hundreds of meters high cover the sky, and he is hunting with a big bow in his hand. What he is hunting is a legendary ancient beast, Chimera, which is tens of meters long and has three heads. A distorted creature that spits fire, one spits water, and one spits poison. It is still a lackey of Chaos, but it was bent by the Titan with an arrow pierced through its heart.

Bertrand recognized the identity of the Titan, and he knelt respectfully, trembling to pay his respects.

"That bitch, what kind of holy grail guy did you get to suppress you?" Tai Tan didn't turn his head, but his roar exuded original anger and wildness, and his power was as majestic as the winter sun.

"I..." Before Bertrand could speak, Tai Tan immediately roared angrily, and the forest paradise within thousands of kilometers trembled in his anger: "Enough, I will not lose to anyone, don't even think about it, If that bitch can give it, so can I!"

"Honey, calm down." At this time, a beautiful lady wearing a white silk dress appeared beside Tai Tan. Her figure was slightly plump, plump and full of maternal charm, and her smile could heal Any heart, her words calmed Tai Tan, he looked at Bertrand's trembling and fragile soul, and nodded slowly.

Titan took out a hatchet from behind, took a branch from a huge sacred tree, and then took out a small knife to pull out a long tendon from the Chimera's body, and simply made a big bow , and then bestowed his own blessing on the big bow.

The lady also smiled slightly, and also bestowed blessings on Da Gong.

Tai Tan threw the big bow to Bertrand, and even entered Bertrand's body with his own divine fire blessing: "Very good, I want to let that bitch know that my people will never lose to her! Take it! "

"From today onwards, you are my God's Chosen, and I will give you a brand new title - Eye of Tal!"

"Ahhh!" The old guard commander woke up from his dream, and Bertrand realized that he was sweating profusely. The old guard commander turned over and sat up, gasping for breath, recalling everything that happened in the dream , in the dream, the titan and the lady...

Is it a dream? Bertrand suddenly found that his eyesight had improved, and he could actually see things in the dark as if they were in daylight! Even the slightest scratch less than one millimeter on the iron door at the door of the room can be clearly seen!

Hanging on the wall is an exquisite big bow, exuding the prestige of hunting gods and the brilliance of azure water. That is not his original big bow, it is... Bertrand quickly turned over and stood up, he reached out and took it off The big bow, he could feel that within his body, the flames and anger from the God of Nature cheered and danced along with the blessed power within the big bow.

"It seems that it is not a dream." Bertrand-Tal's eyes had already realized what had happened, and he immediately came to the shrine, knelt down on one knee, with tears in his eyes.

"My lord, thank you!!!"

...... I am the dividing line that she can give, and I can also give...

At the same time, there was a knock on the door of the king suite of the Enterprise.

The high-spirited mage Teclis leaned on the staff of Lilith and stood at the door, waiting quietly.

A minute later, the door opened, and Olika, who was wearing a messy maid outfit, opened the door. When she saw Teclis, she rolled her eyes: "What's the matter?"

"I have something to discuss with Ryan, and you need to discuss it." Teclis said lightly.

"Well, come in." Olika didn't seem surprised at all: "It's just right, I have something to tell you."
