"Captain Carlomon, are you questioning the justice of the Pope's Hall?"
A deep voice sounded behind Carlomon, and Carlomon turned around, and a man came up from behind him. Under thirty years old, with short flaxen hair is an ordinary face. But the man's eyes are very clear, as if there is no doubt in his heart. He wears a black double-breasted robe with gold swastikas on both sides of the skirt. The same scarlet cloak was flying behind him, and behind the cloak was a cross that was almost as tall as others.
The whole body of the cross is silver and white, with beautiful curves flying around it, dotted with various precious colors of blue and red, which is extremely gorgeous.
"Habes, you brat, you were still wearing open pants when I was a soldier, don't come and preach to me." Carlomon said angrily.
Habes, the head of the 7th branch of the Holy Seal Knights, is known as a swordsman, but he is a sincere Catholic. Born in the aristocratic class in Rome, he was baptized by the cardinal himself on the day of his birth. He was sent to the enlightenment class by his father at the age of five, graduated as the number one in the youth group at the age of 13, became a knight at the age of 15, and became the head of the 7th branch at the age of 23. A legend among the younger generation.
Hearing what Carlomon said, Habes remained unmoved, and gently closed the scripture in his palm and said, "I'm not preaching, I just saw the doubts in your heart."
Carlomon snorted, with a look of disapproval.
"I have never doubted anything in the Pope's Hall, but seeing a big pirate with us, I feel very upset just like Carlomon!" A rough voice sounded behind the two, and at the same time a tall shadow Cover both Carlomons in it.
Carlomon turned around, raised his head and said to the figure: "It's so noisy, Mamelo! I can't shut your broken voice, every time I hear your loud voice, I get a headache."
He is nearly two meters tall and wears thick armor. The armor that almost covered the entire body made the head of the eighth division look like a medieval knight in heavy armor. The dark armor was painted with bloody curves and patterns, protruding from the shoulder armor and knees. The terrifying thorns are reminiscent of bleeding and screaming, and the knight commander exuding a terrifying aura. The only thing that can remind people of the Pope's Hall is probably the symbolic cloak behind him.
Fist Mamelo laughed loudly, his voice was as sharp and loud as a stone being rubbed against, Carlomon's temples throbbed when he heard it, and Habes lowered his head with a sigh. Mamelo smiled and said, "Never mind, old man. Don't you think we should have a nice glass of wine when we have a chance to act together?"
"Usually the definition of your cup is exactly the same thing as what I consider a wine barrel, so do you think I'd store something like that on my ship? Drinking is forbidden when we're on the move, and if you put up with it If you can’t stop, the pirates in front of you will probably be able to satisfy you. Then again, you are not so active in sweeping up pirates on weekdays, why did you take the initiative to fight this time.” Carlomon said.
Habein opened his eyes and said, "Because the place we are going to this time is the House of the Sea, I heard that one of the four pirates is called a master of weapons. As a swordsman, I am very interested in him." ah."
"Hook?" Carlomon raised his eyebrows.
Habes was silent.
Mamelo patted his chest and said, "I'm going to see an old friend, and I want to ask him how long he will be a pirate."
As he spoke, he sat down on the deck, but Mamelo's own weight plus the heavy armor on his body weighed nearly a ton at least, making him just like a big iron block. Sitting on the deck, Carlomon could almost hear the groans from his warship. Looking at Mamelo who fell into silence, Carlomon shook his head and said, "You should give up on it. If he changes his mind, he won't stay on that poor island to sell wine forever."
"You don't have to worry about my affairs." Mamelo raised her head and said in a deep voice.
Habes looked at the two, completely unaware of who they were discussing. People of his younger generation have not experienced the darkest period in the Pope's Hall. And Carlomon and Mamelo are already one of the few veterans, so they naturally know the story of that turbulent year.
At that time, Mamelo was not the commander of the 8th regiment, but the deputy commander of the 10th regiment. Although he knew the experience of his leader at the time, he still had a heart for the leader's degeneration into a pirate, and he sneaked into Shanghai's home three times. No one knew the result, but judging from the fact that Mamelo returned empty-handed three times, the persuasion to the head of the group ended in vain.
Sauron's order to attack the House of the Sea this time is probably the last chance for Mamelo to persuade the heads of the top 10 regiments. It's just that Carlomon seems to have foreseen the ending, so he can only sigh in his heart.
The figures of the three captains were reflected by a pair of eyes, and Carlomon, who was standing at the bow, was the first to notice, and looked back with contempt. So Deborah laughed dryly, left the fence on the side of the ship, walked to the bow, and sat down on the deck. The Iron Scale was still the Iron Scale, but the busy people on board were no longer the familiar people, but the rigorous knight soldiers.
Even behind him, several paladin-type power armors are being overhauled, all of which seem so out of touch with pirate ships.
Deborah raised his head somewhat desolately, looking at the banner of the Iron Scale that was still fabricated on the mast.
Once upon a time, when this flag appeared, no matter whether it was the Knights of the Holy Seal or other pirates, they had to wait for it, and even fled. How majestic the Zongheng Sea Territory was at that time, but now it is branded as a lackey of the Pope's Hall. Although Deborah had foreseen this day when he agreed to become Sauron's condition, when it actually came, he regretted it a little.
Sauron had clearly told him that as long as he took the three branches of the Knights to wipe out the pirates and destroy the Sea House, he would be given an errand in the Knights. The lowest is the lieutenant of the head of the regiment, and after that, Deborah can wash away his identity as a pirate and live a life like an aristocrat from then on. This was originally what Deborah longed for, but now, he has asked himself more than once.
Is this really the life you want
However, no matter how much he regretted it, he couldn't change the fact that it was coming. He used to think that he had mastered the trend of the times, but now, he suddenly discovered that he was just one of the people driven by the trend.
A sigh came from the captain of the Ironscale.
Four big ships are carrying people with different thoughts on the Devil's Channel, and they will arrive at the Howling Bay in a short time. It has quietly become a turning point of the wave of the times, but everyone in the western continent doesn't know it.
The storm of the great age on the Western Continent is about to come, but on the other side of the endless sea, the Central Continent is already raging with war. The war between the two largest groups on this continent, the Dark Council and the Hall of Valor, gradually dragged all the creatures on the entire continent into the flames of war.
After the initial battle, the flames of war spread across the central region of the continent.
In the early days of the war, one of the powerful families of the Dark Council, the Augustus army led by Hart, the eldest son of the family, marched westward to the Julian Mountains where the Hall of Valor was located. Soon, the Hall of Valor sent out two mixed armies, Doomhammer and Golden Tomahawk, to meet them, led by Thor, the God of Thunder.
So the central wilderness became the stage and battlefield for these two talented young people from different camps.
In this war, the names of Hart and Sol quickly spread throughout the continent. Just like the war that swept across the entire continent decades ago, many legendary names that are still known to this day appeared. Today's war has quickly become the focus of life in the mainland. It is inevitable that some names will often appear in rumors.
Among these people, Hart and Sol are of course the most exposed.
They are both young generals with full of charm, but they have different emphases. Hart is better at arranging troops and planning to win. His strategy is not amazing, but it is magnificent and interlocking, which is the style of an upright general. Sol obviously has a slight deficiency in this aspect, but he is better than his personal bravery. Thor often leads the way, and his Thor's Hammer is the beacon on the battlefield, the nightmare of the enemy, and the flag of the friendly.
And although Saul is not like Hart who can arrange a series of strategies and layouts before a battle starts, he can quickly formulate flexible and changeable plans according to the situation on the front line, thus several times Every time, the situation that Hart thought was inevitable was reversed.
In this way, the two young generals showed their strengths in the central wasteland, and pushed the war to the climax step by step.
At the beginning, it was due to insufficient supplies and soldiers. Hart's approach is basically a surefire approach, where he fights every inch of the way. After capturing the stronghold, they tried their best to consolidate it, making it their solid backing. Afterwards, the Augustus family's war materials were continuously sent to the front line through Phoenix City, and Hart began to change his style, using his own advantages in personnel, materials, and war machines to attack the enemy from the front.
If Sol was able to disintegrate Hart's offensive through flexible and targeted strategies before, then now facing the opponent's overwhelming advantage, he can only adopt a strategy of tightening the defense. But even so, Thor's army was forced to keep retreating. More than a month later, Sol withdrew nearly a hundred kilometers!
But in Yelugoli, a ruined city more than a hundred kilometers away from the front line, the Hall of Valor fought a beautiful counterattack.
After Sol's army retreated into the city of Jericho, Hart pressed forward step by step. This is his command style, oppressing opponents with iron walls, and even driving them to despair or even collapse. But this time it was a little different. After the Augustus family's army entered the city of Yerugo, they were cut off by the victory spear led by the war goddess Valsili of the Valhalla army from the periphery. Then the tip of the dark knife also appeared on the stage, and this assassin unit killed countless commanders above the captain level in just one hour, causing Hart's command system to be paralyzed for a while.
Afterwards, Augustus's army counterattacked with all its strength, but was blocked by the Shield of Dawn.
At this point in the battle, all five armies of the Hall of Valor had assembled, and at least two-thirds of Augustus's personnel had been eaten in the city of Yerugo. This was Hart's worst defeat since the beginning of the war.
After hearing that the five major armies of the Hall of Valor had arrived, the Dark Council quickly reacted. First, ordinary servants were sent over by trucks in waves, and then the army of ability users composed of scarlet knights above the rank of captain also marched to the front line. With the input of these fresh troops, it is like throwing a large amount of fuel into the fire of this war, which immediately makes this war intensify.
It's just that on the side of the Dark Council, since the Augustus family and the Scarlet Knight belong to two completely independent systems, Hart has no right to direct the actions of the Blood Knight. This made it impossible for him to use many strategies, but on the side of the Hall of Valor, the five major legions were united, and they cooperated closely. Led by Sol, the Hall of Valor advanced hundreds of kilometers in half a month, making the war stalemate.
all-all-
The continuous dull sound of guns sounded, it was the sound of artillery tanks firing in groups. Then there was a sharp whistling in the air, and dozens of flame tails entangled and rushed in the air, each flame tail represented an infantry missile. Dozens of missiles flew towards the enemy's camp, but when they fell, a large milky white light curtain rose to stop the missiles. Explosions and flames followed, balls of fire rose above the enemy's formation, but did not damage the milky white light curtain at all.
The shock wave of the explosion brought back dust and smoke, and the frenzied wind whizzed past the roof of a building, causing Hart to blink his eyes slightly.
The eldest son of the Augustus family sat on the rooftop, next to an exquisite round wine table with a bottle of red wine on it and a tall cup.
The shock wave passed by these things, but the wine red liquid in the goblet did not produce the slightest wave.
Hart raised his wine glass with a smile, and saluted the milky white light wall in the distance: "To you, Shield of Dawn."
Rein next to him frowned, but he couldn't find any respect for the Shield of Dawn, even if it was only one point. The five legions of the Hall of Valor have their own characteristics, among which the Dawn Shield is composed purely of people with light abilities. They are good at defense, healing, and bless allies with various spirits. It is no exaggeration to say that even a coward Dawnshield can turn him into a fearless warrior.
So although this legion is not known for its combat effectiveness, it is a headache.
"Brother, don't be so sad, come and have a drink with me?" Putting down the glass, Hart seemed to notice the expression on Rein's face, and smiled slightly.
Rein walked over and said, "I'm not as carefree as you. Brother, how can we go on like this? Although the parliament sent troops over, the servants and blood cavalry didn't listen to our command at all. If there is such a thing or not? Isn't it the same?"
"It's normal. After all, this is a parliamentary war, not our Augustus family's. In the past few months, we have really been in the limelight. So you didn't see that I didn't let my soldiers play much recently, so I gave it to Let the parliamentary army go."
"Although I am also a member of the Scarlet Knights, I am not trying to destroy my prestige, but the current Blood Cavalry army alone is not enough to win the Hall of Valor. They didn't even send the top ten knights here. What's the use of a captain-level knight." Rein said.
Hart smiled and said, "Isn't the Ninth Knight here? Maybe they are waiting for you to command them."
"Don't make fun of me, brother. Everyone knows that I am not good at commanding such a large army. If I am allowed to command it, I can just put it under the name of brother." Rein said irresponsibly.
Hart shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the parliament will not want to lose this war. There will be new orders soon."
"What kind of order will it be?"
"There are only two kinds. One is to send high-level blood knights to take command, and the other is to give the command to me. If it is the former, then we just need to rest for a while. The soldiers are very tired from the continuous fighting over the past few months .The latter would be better. With the blood cavalry as a new force, I will be able to surprise Sol. So my dear brother, no matter which order it is, it will not make much difference to us .” Hart stood up, patted his brother on the shoulder and said.
At this time, a soldier ran out from the stairs on the roof: "Report!"
Hart said unexpectedly: "You won't order to come down so soon? What's the matter?"
The soldier replied: "Young masters, we have just received the notification. The number one knight of the Blood Cavalry, Major General Xiuya Lanlost and her guard Glacier will arrive in Phoenix City this evening!"
Rein and Hart couldn't help but look at each other, especially Rein. He scratched his head and said, "Didn't that troublesome woman, Xiuya, go to sweep the black land to the west? Why did she come to Phoenix City at this time and bring the glacier to her?" gone."
This time even Hart was pensive, and he smiled and said: "Could it be that the speaker can't wait any longer, I didn't expect that he transferred his daughter directly here." Then he said: "Line, you go back to Phoenix City Let's go. See what our Miss Xiu Ya has ordered."
"Understood, big brother." Rein sighed and left the rooftop.
Xiuya Lanlost is a name that almost everyone knows in the Dark Parliament. Possessing an outstanding talent, he was born with a third-order ability. At the age of 12, he joined the Scarlet Knight with the strength of the seventh level. Ten years later, she aspired to the title of the number one knight with the strength of the ninth level. Deep Blue Roar is not only a respectful name for her from the outside world, but also a point of view of the hot temper of this young lady from the side.
Because of her outstanding talent, she was accepted as a foster daughter by the Speaker Oglock, and with this status, Xiu Ya was even more unscrupulous in the parliament. Even Hart's father, Leo, wanted her to get three points. Two years ago, Xiuya volunteered to lead her own guard, Glacier, to the black land in the west to wipe out the aliens. After she joined, in just two years, the impenetrable black land forcibly opened a gap for her.
This caused the army of the Dark Council to conquer a territory of hundreds of kilometers, making Xiuya's evaluation in the council even more prosperous.
Two years ago, she was already a strong man of the ninth rank. In the past two years, she fought in the hell-like black earth. Even Hart couldn't guess the current strength of this woman!
