It has been half a month since the covenant in the shadows. Many things have changed, but many things have remained the same as before.
Within three days of signing the covenant, not only did the Church not have any new reinforcements, but some Knights and Chapters that had suffered too much damage had already begun to evacuate San Antonio.
It seemed that he had reached a private agreement with Duke Bartello. The retreat of the Templar forces was very smooth, and the opponent was completely watching these forces withdraw from the battlefield.
And this is just the beginning. The forces of the Church of the Holy Church on various battlefields have begun to retreat, and the most elite angels are going the fastest.
If this trend continues, soon, there will be only civil wars left by the San Antonio people on the battlefield.
The Church of the Holy Church Abandoned Prince Winston? Abandoned San Antonio
A lot of news and rumors spread everywhere, and Pope Carloma made a declaration, saying a lot of "The Church of the Holy Church will always care for San Antonio", "The Lord of Light is watching the Land of Light" and so on. Nonsense, it's to comfort people.
Of course, the official words are always so heartwarming, at least the prestige of the spokesperson of the Holy Light on the ground is still enough, and the devout believers are still very trusting.
As for later... When the civil war hits you to the death, the survivors won't care what Kaloma said before.
And those, have nothing to do with me.
The popularity of magic technology has greatly shortened the spatial distance between countries. Although the airships for freight and passenger transport are expensive and limited to several major cities, my starting point and destination, They are the capitals of powerful mainland countries, and it is also very cost-effective to take a comfortable and safe floating boat.
However, as the war progressed, this emerging shipping route also encountered new threats.
Along the way, our ship has encountered more than a dozen waves of flying monsters, a passing green dragon, and more than a dozen air knights.
Green dragons and demon beasts are foraging, and sky knights are patrolling countries along the way. The world is not very peaceful now, and they will stare at every air target passing by.
But in the end, the beast was driven away by the magic crystal cannon, and the green dragon and the air knight followed for a while, and finally turned their heads and left.
The nearly 100 medium-sized magic crystal cannons on the giant floating passenger ship were one reason, but more were the chess pieces hanging on the passenger ship.
Baier's Dragon Head Flag, Lan League's Storm Castle, Oran's Crown Flag, and Goblin's Listener Flag are the chess pieces hanging on the bow of this passenger ship, and they also represent this small passenger ship. Four organizations.
There is no other reason. Now Lanmeng and Oran have the technology of large-scale floating ships capable of cross-border freight and passenger transportation. Neither of them will miss such a good business opportunity. The vicious competition of monopoly nature eventually turned into the monopoly of the cooperation mechanism. , and La Baier's entry into the game can not only support the scene, but also have additional reasons, but the goblins were pulled into shares, and their intelligence and organizational skills were too useful to start the transportation industry.
Organizing the Chamber of Commerce to carry out passenger transportation activities by the neutral ones can also make the participating countries put down their vigilance, at least more reassuring than the behemoths such as Bayer and Lanmeng.
There is no aviation law in this era, and the concept of routes has just been proposed. The sailors and captains of aviation ships are all drawn from skilled sailors. Even the tools for determining direction and coordinates are directly used at sea. Set, they still operate the ship according to the past habits, and it is too normal to accidentally deviate from the course.
It's nothing at sea, just turn a corner and come back, but on a continent with no lords, it's a big trouble to break into other countries' borders without authorization, and it's possible for armed warships to break in and cause war.
Therefore, we often see Aerial Knights taking off and following along the way, probably because the flags of Lanmeng, Baier, and Oran are strong enough, or it may be that these countries along the way are used to it. Just watch us leave the country.
And some cases? Sometimes, the Aerial Knight will take the initiative to board the ship. Although it is more or less supervising, you can often hear the Aerial Knight talking about the tastes and customs of the country, and those with a cheerful personality will also perform for the guests from afar. There is a black-skinned scorpion-tailed knight who is also an excellent dancer. Her desert-style twisting dance left a deep impression on me.
This happened several times on the road. The folk dancing and singing were all goodwill from all over the world, which not only relieved the nervousness of the passengers, but also made people look forward to the next journey.
Of course, judging from the skillful act of collecting red envelopes from the crew when the part-time performers left, they may have already made a contract, or perhaps some of them are simply arranged to appease the client's performers.
At least from the current point of view, long-distance passenger transport between countries is really a lucrative business. I calculated that this passenger ship is about once every three days. There are three or four hundred customers on it, and there are several grades of tickets, but The cheapest ones are more than 2,000 gold coins, and a VIP ticket of 10,000 is enough to buy a decent manor in the capital. It is absolutely impossible for non-big businessmen and aristocrats to buy them.
Once I came down, I was doing some smuggling. If nothing else happened, I might get millions of gold coins, which is more than robbing a bank.
But it seems that the expenditure is also quite a lot, not to mention the depreciation of passenger and cargo ships, the world is not safe, those magic crystal guns and the resident bodyguards on board are very expensive.
Wandering around on the ship these days, I saw two legends and one "young man" of the Holy Order, both wearing the armbands of the security guards, and they should all be the bodyguards of the ship.
However, considering the current chaotic situation on the mainland, maybe this is a good deal. The tolls and checkpoints in various places are disgusting, and some areas are battlefields. Forcibly passing through is like sending death.
And if you go by air, you will encounter trouble, but it is much less than on land. After all, deserters and bandits that can be seen everywhere are more dangerous than the rare flying beasts.
At least, from the current point of view, with the flags of several major countries, the safety rate of these passenger ships is still 100%, and the guests are still very confident.
And this confidence was thrown aside when the green dragon attacked, but it reached its peak when the green dragon finally chose to leave.
"As expected of the Lan Alliance, not even the Dragon Clan dared to move his boat."
"It's the Bayer Empire. Our dragon knight army is famous all over the world. That dragon must be afraid of being chased by the great knights of our country."
Although the Baier people's statement aroused the pride and national self-esteem of the Baier people present, I almost laughed on the spot, I was anxious, I understand the dragon language.
"... I go, the flying tin can, I heard that it will bring good luck. The tin, bless Natasha to accept my courtship, bless my treasures, bless my... "
The terrifying roar of the dragon all the way is actually just according to the latest rumors in the dragon family, praying that he will meet good luck, and finally leave, not a choice after weighing the gains and losses, but a satisfied separation after making a wish. go.
But some things, these customers are not wrong.
Considering the special relationship between Baier and the Dragon Clan, as long as the "home dragon" connected with the Dragon City will not attack Baier's ship.
Even that rumor was released by Longcheng and Xiaohong's Longcheng behind Baier. There are still some rumors, and those who attack the airship will be unlucky or something.
However, this is also true. This business is also divided into Dragon City. Attacking the floating airship is equivalent to the fortune of the Dragon Kings and the Dragon Kings. It is strange that the wild dragons are not unlucky. This is another reason for La Baier to enter the game.
Of course, there is no so-called absolute safety in this world. As the war progresses, accidents will occur sooner or later, and not everyone can communicate, such as encountering a winged flying demon or the like.
But as the war progressed and land travel became more difficult and dangerous, there was always potential for this business.
Reaching a private agreement with the Church of the Holy Spirit also means that this business can reach the circle of influence of the Church of the Holy Church, which is a huge amount of income.
And more income also means more arms and food, which means that the Lan Alliance's national strength is booming. Perhaps, we are the most suitable for the jihadist environment...
"Ahead, there is a group of flying demons! Succubus and four-winged madman!"
A warning sounded in my ears, the sailors panicked and urged the passengers on the plywood to take refuge in the cabin, and Heloise cast a dissatisfied look at me.
"Can you blame me? Isn't this normal? The magic tide is over, and the abyss has entered an active period. Now there are too many gates to the abyss. I have encountered demon legions, demon lords, etc..."
"The old man over there, little girl, hurry up and take refuge. Master Leiying, please take action, the magic energy radar responds, and there is a lord-level demon!"
Well, I'd better shut up.
