Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 314: Unexpected retreat

"One, two, three, one, two, three!"

On the dragon boat, the soldiers are carrying out urgent repairs to the ship. The soldiers are replacing the damaged sails. There are also soldiers on the deck who are busy with the dead bodies and the hull covered with blood.

"Tell me, why did the sea clan suddenly retreat?"

Paley and Richard and several senior officers stood on the bridge and asked the questions everyone was wondering.

The sea clan suddenly retreated when the war was most intense, giving the human army a chance to breathe. This short but fierce battle cost the expedition fleet at least more than 200 warships, and the casualties were close to 20,000. rate more than half.

Although the losses of the sea warriors were not small, they attacked human warships like inexhaustible. With the cooperation of the sea priests, they caused huge casualties to the human army. In fact, everyone can see that if the sea clan continues to attack at this frequency, the human army will be destroyed sooner or later. The sea clan army with the cooperation of the caster is completely different from the previous sea clan army.

It's just that, for some unknown reason, the Sea Clan army chose to retreat when they had obvious advantages. Although this was a good thing, it still made Paley wonder if there was any conspiracy involved.

The surrounding officers also looked at each other in dismay. Regarding the abnormal behavior of the sea clan army, it was actually difficult for them to make a reasonable guess. It is much more difficult to find out the information of the sea clan than the information of the orcs. It is also difficult to think that the reason why the sea clan retreated was because the high priest was killed by his own people.

Even Li Cha, the unintentional direct pusher, only guessed that perhaps the retreat of the sea clan had something to do with the death of the deep-sea giant whale, but from a normal logic analysis, the death of the deep-sea giant whale made the sea clan lose an important combat power. , but did not change the strength of the two sides, continue to fight, when Richard and Natalis are tired of killing, it will be his turn to flee. The battle has been fought to such an extent that it should not be withdrawn.

However, since the Sea Clan has given the opportunity, they can only bite the bullet and go on.

"No matter what, we have no way out this time, no matter what the sea clan plans to do, as long as we drive south for another six days, Mr. Li Cha can take the giant dragon to the sea clan's mussel farm, and then the sea clan will naturally Rat thrower."

"Um"

Paul's speech was approved by the majority of the people present. This action was originally a risky gamble. If we lost, these warships and navy would basically have no need for the kingdom to exist.

"Let me correct it. The fleet only needs to travel for another four days. I'm confident that I will fly directly to the sea clam farm with the giant dragon."

Li Cha is not a timid hero, a warrior who dares to go deep into the enemy's territory for thousands of miles, is purely a sea clan with too obvious shortcomings, almost zero air ability and a mussel field on the shoal that has no defense against dragons. , as long as Li Cha brought the dragon to his appearance, the sea clan would have to find a way to negotiate, and there would be no danger at all.

"Brother-in-law, are you telling the truth? You can't be brave in this kind of thing." ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

"Do you think I would joke about this kind of thing?"

Richard's words made the surrounding high-level executives, including Paley, show a hint of joy. Being able to travel two days less is also a huge breakthrough. Perhaps because of these two days, the entire operation will have different results.

"Okay! Pass my order, each fleet will set off immediately after the maintenance is completed, and continue to drive towards the sea clam farm!"

"Yes!"

The retreat of the sea clan was not accidental. The death of the high priest could not be concealed. After killing the high priest, Sandro ordered the army to withdraw to join the sea king. First release www.(x81zw)m./x81zw/

He knew very well that the death of the high priest was very strange in the eyes of his trusted priests. Even if he pushed the death of the high priest to the human powerhouse who killed the deep-sea giant whale, these people could not trust him. The prestige of the High Priest simply cannot convince other high priests with his status, not to mention that he himself is still within the scope of their suspicion.

At this time, due to the death of the high priest, the Sea King regained his authority. The high priest has been in business for a long time. Now that he dies, except for the priest group that originally belonged to his lineage, the other sea clans who are like grass on the wall are very It will soon fall back to the sea king.

"Your Majesty the Sea King, the high priest was killed by a human powerhouse. The human powerhouse killed the deep-sea giant whale and chased after him. The high priest fought with each other and died heroically."

"Nonsense! You were with the high priest at the time. Why didn't you die when the high priest died! I suspect that you were the one who killed the high priest."

"I am the general that the high priest has drawn, and the person the high priest can trust the most. How could I have killed the high priest?"

Sandro was shocked by the accusation from a high-ranking priest, but he hurriedly complained.

"At least you are afraid of dereliction of duty. Please, His Majesty the Sea King, punish Sandro severely!"

Neptune sat on a chair made of coral reefs and listened to several people expressionlessly, but he never said a word. The news of the death of the main high priest came too suddenly, and he didn't have time to calm down. Although Sandro arranged it. but it was hard for him to imagine that Sandro actually found an opportunity to kill the high priest. He didn't dare to speak now for fear that if he couldn't stop laughing, the scene might become very embarrassing.

"Since you claim to be the person most trusted by the High Priest, then please accompany the High Priest. I wonder if General Sandro is willing?"

"Cough cough! Stop, that's enough."

Sea King, who had adjusted his mood, coughed twice and stopped the quarrel of the people below. To change some time ago, Sea King's words didn't work so well. The eyes of several high-ranking priests were almost on the top of their heads, and everyone except the high priest was in command. Don't move them, but now there is no high priest as a backer, and when they face Aquaman, they don't have the arrogance they used to take.

The five high-ranking priests, as well as more than a dozen bloodline warriors with troops, immediately stopped arguing when they heard Neptune's tone of impatient~lightnovelpub.net~ waiting for him to speak.

"It's not good for Sandro to protect the high priest, cancel all rations this month, cut the power of generals, and temporarily return to the royal court to be a guard."

The punishment of Neptune Nian is almost painless. Sandro, as a noble bloodline warrior born in the sea clan, has no shortage of resources for that month. As for the power of the general, it is also the high priest who regards him as himself. The vicious dog is just a bone used to raise a dog, and now it is a good thing for Neptune to take it back.

As for returning to the royal court as a bodyguard, this is simply blatant protection.

There are two high-level priests below who are still unconvinced. They want to say something, but they are attracted by a matter thrown by the sea king. It is an important matter that can be temporarily put aside for the investigation of Sandro.

"The high priest passed away. We must reconfirm a candidate for the high priest. I think we should choose one of the five."

The five high priests who had just shared the same enemy all looked at each other in dismay. They were one of the people who had the deepest understanding of the power of the high priest. It could even be said that becoming a high priest was one of their goals in life. Now Sea King is throwing this question out. , so they can't help it.

Just when they were still hesitating, Neptune continued:

"This time, there is no longer just one high priest, but three best priests will be selected from the five priests to serve as high priests, and the monthly distribution of resources is equivalent to that of the high priest."

After speaking, the corner of Neptune's mouth evoked a playful smile. If Richard was here, the idiom would definitely pop up in his mind - two peach kills three men...
