Chapter 526: Dragon Scourge and Shadow of Death

　　 "Hurry up!!"
　　 "If you don't want to die, just row hard for me, and go row with all your strength! If you have no energy, just change to the next group. From now on, don't stop the oars for a moment!"
The bearded captain screamed at the sailors who were sitting on the oars on the deck and shaking the oar grips vigorously in a group, and at the same time he turned his head and stared at the end of the eastern sea level. The dark shadow that has grown bigger and bigger, and estimated the opponent's ship speed and direction in his heart.
　　 However, the more he estimates, the more despair...
　　 "Hurry up! Hurry up!"
　　 "Who is going to put away that sail first, yes, that's it!"
When six long oars were extended on each side of the sea ship and started to slide, the speed of the ship suddenly increased. At the same time, the sailors on the deck began to get busy under the command of the captain. Untie the thick cables at their fastest speed, or climb up the mast to quickly retract the two sails!
　　Because the sea area is almost no wind now, the effect of the sail is very small! At this time, since they have begun to use the oars to accelerate, when the boat speeds faster than the light wind blowing from north to south that can't even blow the waves, the sails will become an obstacle to their progress. So putting it away early is right.
　　 However, it is obviously impossible for a medium-sized sea-going ship to accelerate to a certain extent by relying solely on the sliding of a total of twelve oars in the absence of wind.
　　 "Asshole! It's all caused by the Saxon chores!"
When all the orders were issued, the sailors and crews were in their respective positions. After he did not need him to command, the beard came to the left side of the ship with an ugly expression, propped up the side of the ship, and grew his eyes to stare at the distance The outline of the place has become a very clear and unknown shadow.
　　 That's right, the other party... is the evil and dirty ghost ships in the legend!
The ruined ship hull was about to collapse, pieces of worm-eaten and decayed wood, the mast broken into two pieces, and even large holes near the waterline... It obviously has no sails or oars, but But the wooden shelf rushing towards them at a weird speed, is not the ghost ship that scared sailors in the legend?
　　 "Captain Bearded, what is a ghost ship and why are you all so scared?"
Wearing a semi-breast armor on her upper body, a semi-enclosed helmet on her head, and holding a huge shield in her hand, Gareth curiously moved from her brother’s side. Squeezed over and asked out loud.
　　 Ghost ship or something, she had never heard of it, so she was really curious.
　　 "I look at it, there seems to be no one on them..."
　　 For the ship in the distance, Gareth has been watching for a long time, and he can always feel a little baffling.
You know, her eyesight is very good, and she can even spot the dark shadow in the distance before the watcher on the mast just now, so when the opponent is now closer, she can easily see that. A tattered strange ship, and there is not even a single figure on it!
　　 "Because there is no talent to be scary!"
Looking at the black ship that was getting closer, and after estimating the approximate time it would take for him to catch up with his ship, the bearded Captain turned his head pale and looked at the little princess Orkney who was asking about him. And also looked at his Royal Highness Prince Gawain with a puzzled look.
"Think about it, a weird ship that is full of holes but can float so high on the sea, has no sails on the mast, and no oars, but can rush towards us at such a fast speed. Is it terrible?"
　　 "The ghost ship......"
　　 "That is the ominous ship in the legend of the sea...because the people living on those ships are not humans like us, but a group of evil undead!"
　　 "Wait, you can't see what's on them with our ordinary human eyes, but when we get closer, it will be too late!!"
Staring fiercely at the shadow of the black ship in the distance, now they can gradually see the overall outline of the ship...Although looking at it now, there is no one on the deck or in the cabin, but with a big beard. The captain would not naively think so too!
Just now, after he ordered the sailors to start paddling and speed up to flee south, the black ship also abandoned the direction of the Saxon pirates almost at the same time and turned directly to the southwest. If it was not for intercepting them, would it? Is the ocean current changing its direction?
　　 I’m afraid he wouldn’t believe it when he said it!
　　 "Undead..."
　　 "What does the undead look like, and how terrible? Is there such an evil witch terrible?"
I have never seen a ghost. The most terrifying thing I have ever seen is Gareth of Morgan, the witch mother in my own home. First, after carefully examining the black ship in the distance that still seems to have no one, he turned his head Asked the bearded captain beside him.
　　In her opinion, Gareth herself, what about the undead, where is the terrible witch in the house who can perform all kinds of evil witchcraft?
　　 "They are much scarier than witches!"
"Once we are caught up by them, all of us will die! Then...we will not be peaceful when we die, and we will become another ghost ship, and we will also be transformed into the same evil as them. Undead, and have been wandering in the ocean. Isn’t this scary in the end?
　　 "Damn it, you guys quickly draw hard, haven't you eaten today?!"
　　 After reluctantly explaining this to the young princess who was a little ignorant, the bearded man turned his head and shouted at the two groups of sailors who were yelling slogans and sliding their oars vigorously.
　　 It's just that his voice is a little hysterical at this time, and anyone can hear the inadvertent panic and helplessness.
Because, he estimated the maximum speed that his ship could eventually reach, and then estimated the enemy’s current speed, and then he sadly discovered that the opponent’s ghost ship would most likely pass through this quiet sea. Catch them before the sea!
　　 Then...
Then he dared not imagine what happened, but even thinking about it can make him feel powerless and endless panic...because, it is said that no one can catch a ghost ship. Go back alive!
　　 And only a few lucky guys can escape early in various ways... For example, those nasty Saxon barbarians just now?
　　 "Undead?"
　　 "Captain, in fact, you don't have to be so scared. On this ship, we have fifty of the most powerful knights and cavalry in Orkney County. Even if they come close, they will not necessarily be our opponents."
　　 Gao Wen also stared at the weird black ship in the distance for a long time. He couldn't see anything special, so he tentatively comforted the captain with the beard.
　　When he was in Orkney County, he killed all kinds of monsters on the sea, no matter those rare naga or sea snakes! Even under the training of his witch mother Morgan, he personally killed a powerful descendant of Hydra!
　　 At that time, he completely relied on a holy sword that did not stimulate power, forcibly cut off its nine heads by his own ability, and smoothly killed it, or were they? Therefore, for the undead, although he himself does not know the specific strength of the opponent, he believes that he Sun Knight Gawain must be able to defeat the opponent.
"It's useless!"
　　 "In the legend, ordinary weapons are useless to those monsters!"
　　 said this, he subconsciously took a look at the sword in the opponent's hand that had exerted exaggerated strength, but unless the opponent could defeat a whole ship of undead alone, otherwise...
　　 "Although I have only heard of it, and I don't know if the rumors are true or false, but I definitely won't try to get the broken ship closer!"
　　 "Damn it, this mission is really wicked! No wonder I just said that this sea area is abnormal. It feels overwhelming. Even the fish on the bottom of the sea are scared away. It turned out to be like this!"
　　 The bearded man couldn’t figure it out. Why did he encounter so many unlucky annoyances during this voyage?
They first ran away a group of entangled harpies, and then drove through the Howling Fjord, which was more violent and more dangerous than usual, but when they finally thought they could take a breath, they ran into it again. Get on an evil and terrifying ghost ship?
　　 "Is there no other way?"
　　 "Surely you can see the captain, the other party's speed should not be difficult to catch up with us."
The problem now lies in front of everyone. Either run or face the enemy bravely... But Gawain doesn’t believe that this bloated ship can run faster than the previous Saxon speedboats. !
　　 "The other way... by the way!"
　　 "His Royal Highness, is there any way for you to contact your mother now and let the incomparably powerful Princess Morgan help? For example, some kind of strange witchcraft can directly summon Her Royal Highness?"
　　 suddenly remembered some big beards, and quickly turned around looking forward to asking Gao Wen in a low voice.
　　In this situation, I am afraid that only the powerful princess that almost everyone in Orkney County knows can save them, right? After all, that powerful existence can even directly protect the entire Orkney County by means of witchcraft! Of course, at the same time, she is also covering the sky with one hand, directly controlling the entire country, even the king died many years ago!
　　 However, these things are the housework of other people's royal families. They are incapable and dare not talk nonsense.
　　 "I am a knight of light, not that kind of wizard!"
　　 Gawain colded his face instantly, and shook his head firmly.
　　 There is also some kind of strange witchcraft. How could the witch mother who directly summoned them have such strange things? Even if you have learned some of the rules of black magic, I'm afraid you don't have that ability?
　　 "Then I can't help it!"
　　 "His Royal Highness, I suggest throwing all unnecessary supplies, food and horses into the sea to reduce the weight of the ship, otherwise, we will be over when we are caught up!"
　　 After thinking and thinking, after a while, the captain finally gritted his teeth and thought of an inconclusive solution, which is to reduce the load on the hull!
　　 If the load is reduced as much as possible, you should be able to escape this windless zone before the opponent catches up? Of course, he can't be sure about this, but what can he do besides reluctantly trying it out? It was the first time he felt so desperate for him, who claimed that he was an old seaman who had been sailing for more than 20 years and had overcome countless dangers.
　　 "……"
　　 "No! The horse must not be lost!"
　　 "Asshole, those are our knight's partners, do you dare to lose them?!"
　　 "￥%@￥! A hammer will kill you!"
　　 "This useless captain should be thrown down to reduce weight!"
　　 "Ha! Good idea! This suggestion is very reasonable!"
　　 "We would rather fight the enemy to the death than to abandon our war horse!"
　　 "Yes!"
　　 "People are on the horse!"
　　 "@#%￥##!!"
　　 Without waiting for Gao Wen to make a decision, the knights and cavalry who were preparing for battle on the deck raised their weapons aloud and shouted loudly. Everything else is fine, but you can throw them into the sea as the horses of the other half of their lives. Don't even think about it!
　　 "Captain, is there any other way?"
　　 Obviously, Gao Wen himself is not willing to do this kind of thing!
　　Although he never liked his goblin Ma Greengrete who was messing around with other mares in the cabin, but if he were to abandon him... Just ask yourself, he would never do it!
　　 After all, it was the best war horse he had ever seen, not one of them!
　　 "There is no other way!"
　　 "His Royal Highness, with our current speed, I don't want to run out of this quiet sea before dusk! If we can't get rid of them before night falls, then we are dead!"
　　 It is said that the speed of those ghost ships at night is even more terrifying!
　　 The only way to get rid of them is to completely get rid of the enemy before it gets dark! Or... pray that the dark clouds in the sky will disperse sooner, and the sunlight will come down sooner, and then dispel the evil? But obviously, this weird dark cloud above their heads is stubborn, and it will definitely not dissipate before dark.
　　So that, sunshine or something, they definitely can't count on it.
　　 "Is it guaranteed to get rid of the supplies and war horses by throwing them away?"
　　 The speed of the sea-going ship in the lightly loaded state is not known to Gao Wen, but he feels that it will definitely not be faster than the narrow speedboats of the previous Saxon pirates! After all, their ship is a medium-sized sea-going vessel, and the bloated hull probably determines the fastest speed it can achieve under windless conditions. The speed may also be very limited by relying on the few oars alone.
　　 "This, alas..."
The Captain Bearded suddenly didn’t dare to speak up. In fact, he himself estimated that in the current situation, unless a strong wind suddenly blows them forward with the help of the sails, even if they lose all their weight. , I am afraid it is also difficult to get rid of the opponent in this sea area... The speed of that black ship is much faster than his ship!
　　 "Then what if we dock now?"
　　 Gao Wen turned his head and looked at the right-hyun of the ship. At the end of the western coastline, which is the coast north of central Britain, since it can't run away, it is a good choice to turn his head and get to the shore.
　　 "No, even if we turn, we will definitely not have time to get to the shore before night! We are too far from the coast..."
　　 just glanced to the west, the beard lowered his head.
In the past, for safety, after entering this sea area, they deliberately drove a long distance to the east of the North Sea in order to avoid being discovered by the Saxon pirates, but now... they are being even more terrifying. Stared at it.
　　 "Then stop the ship and drop anchor and wait for them to come up!"
　　 After pondering for a while, Gao Wen made a decision that surprised everyone.
　　 "Stop, stop?"
　　Such shocking words made the captain and the others very puzzled!
　　 "Yes, it's still afternoon and daytime!"
"Although there are still thick clouds in the sky, my strength is still there! When the stuff is dragged into the night, then I will be no different from the other knights. At that time... So, stop the ship, Captain, wait for them Come up!"
　　 "We now have no choice..."
Looking coldly at the ship in the distance, Gao Wen slowly relieved the linen cloth strips wrapped around the "Sword of Cycling Victory" in his hand, and displayed the gorgeous long sword with its scabbard. In front of people.
　　 "……"
　　 "Your Highness, are you sure?"
　　 Obviously, the bearded man was still hesitant, not daring to put all his chips on the prince.
"No!"
　　 "But Captain, do you have a better choice now?"
　　 suddenly laughed, and Gao Wen asked calmly.
　　His idea is very simple. Since he can't escape no matter what, it's better to fight and fight while he still has the strength. Even if you lose in the end, it is worse than to sink in flee and panic!
　　 "……"
　　 "It's done! Stop the boat! Don't shake the broken oar, drop the anchor and get ready for battle!"
　　 "Brothers, we must not be able to escape today, then we will fight those bastards!"
"Fight!"
"Correct!"
　　 "Stop the ship! Ready to fight!"
　　 "Stop the boat..."
　　 "Quick! Put on the leather armor and light the torch!"
　　 "Bring up the barrel of oil in the warehouse and find some clay pots to fill..."
　　 "Bring up that bucket of high-quality cheese too, everyone will eat some!"
　　 "Those two crossbows are coming soon!"
　　 "……"
Soon, the orders began to be communicated one by one, and the entire deck became busy again. In addition to the walking knights and cavalry lined up in two rows on the ship, the sailors who had originally paddled also began to run in a panic. Get up and prepare their weapons against the enemy.
　　
　　 "!!!"
　　 "Annie, you actually did this magic sandbox?!"
After dealing with the political affairs of the day and coming to the largest auditorium in the castle of Camelot, Altria couldn’t help but exclaimed because she actually saw it in the middle of the largest vacant auditorium. , There is a large magic circle that has been completed and a sand table of the same size.
Those magic circles were engraved on the stone floor of the castle, flowing with mysterious light she didn’t understand. Then, on top of the magic circles, stones were used to form a large pool-sized circular sandpit. Inside is all colorful sand!
　　 At this time, the sand was in front of her, and it quickly formed the appearance of a huge colorful city! There was a crowd moving around, and the griffons that Altria was familiar with were flying in the sky...
When she got closer and observed carefully, she discovered that in this shrunken Camelot city sand table, whether it was her castle, the city outside, the city walls, the streets, the people passing by, the soldiers on patrol, the carriage full of goods, Livestock, or those birds and griffins, are all made of colored sand? !
　　 And this incomparably real sand table is why her Altria exclaimed!
　　 Is she really like a god, overlooking her entire Camelot city? She saw that everything was extremely real. Every little person, every bird, and even every griffin that glide by, came alive, just like real life, as if it had just been reduced. ?
Moreover, what’s even more amazing is that when Altria walked carefully to the other side of the sand table and walked to the location of her castle in the sand table, when she curiously got to the small castle window, When she looked inside, she unexpectedly... could still find that in the auditorium in that small castle, a small model of herself and Annie, who was leaning against the sand table, was staying in the auditorium now?
　　 This thing is simply incredible, like a miracle!
　　 "This kind of thing...Annie, you, how did you do it?!"
　　 Altria was really a little frightened. When she turned her head and looked out the window in amazement, she realized that there was only blue sky and white clouds outside, and no one or anything was peeping at herself, and she was a little relieved.
　　 This picture is really too real...
　　 This is like the kind of TV she saw when she was in Fuyuki City, but the situation is more detailed than that now, the field of view is wider, and the effect is even more amazing! Because that kind of TV can only see flat images of people and objects in the box, but right now this one can overlook the entire Camelot three-dimensional appearance, and there is no comparability between the two parties!
　　 "In fact, this is nothing, it's just a combination of science and magic!"
"Very simple!"
"I launched several military satellites and military tactical projectors from the military warehouse in the Kepulu region, and then I installed a small fusion reactor battery pack, using 3D holographic imaging technology plus a magic puppet drive core... …It was finally made! Probably it is similar to that kind of magic chess, except that it has more functions and the magic core of analysis and calculation is a little more complicated."
　　 "Probably that's it, you can't understand it anyway!"
　　(￣▽￣)／
　　 After Annie explained a few words, she began to lie down on the sand table and observe carefully. She was doing the final debugging and testing.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this sand table is just a set of military equipment in the Kepulu region. Her magic is just to transform the holographic image of Britain captured by military satellites into a solid sand table model. Make adult fish, birds, orcs and houses based on real-time images.
　　 The reason why it is so troublesome is to avoid that these earth natives do not use high-tech equipment, or do not understand? And if they make something magical, they won't be so fussy.
　　 "What a magical thing..."
Altria thought for a while, and suddenly he stretched out his hand directly and caught the room of his model of the castle into a pool of run-down sand. It seemed that he wanted to catch the self inside... but wait for her to relax. After opening those sands, they returned to their original state in an instant?
Then, when she saw outside the window, she continued to grab it in mid-air. With quick eyes and quick hands, she grabbed a griffon that was flying past the castle, but it turned out... the sand that made up the griffon. After spreading her hands, she flew directly to another place to regroup and regroup, and then continued to fly in the'sky' on the sand table according to the flight trajectory of the bird of prey outside?
　　 Obviously, all her actions on this sand table cannot affect the real world.
　　 "It's amazing!"
　　 Looking at this huge Camelot city sand table, looking at the scene as if the real city had been reduced, Altria couldn't help but sigh again.
　　 "That's for sure, it took me a lot of time to fiddle with it!"
　　 Annie lifted her rounded small chin triumphantly. This can be said to be a great invention of hers!
　　 "Look, now that we have it, will it be useful when we are going to fight and deploy soldiers in the future?"
　　 checked it again and found that she hadn't seen any other omissions, Anne finally nodded in satisfaction, admitting that this thing is completely finished!
　　 As long as no one destroys the magic circle in this hall, it can run forever, even for thousands of years! Because, even those satellites launched into planetary orbits have been protected by her magic, making them almost as if they will never wear out until they can theoretically run at low power for thousands of years The battery of the fusion reactor is completely exhausted.
"Well……"
　　 "It's really useful, but... it can only see the area around Camelot, which is a small fast place about two or three miles around. What's the use?"
　　 groaned for a while, and after recovering from the shock, Altria shook her head regretfully. She didn't think this small sand table was of much use. When it was used, it was estimated that the enemy came to attack the city, and it was time when she was defending...
　　 Of course, it seems that it can also be used to make it easier for you to inspect and inspect the entire Camelot, even if you don’t go out, you can know what is going on outside?
　　 "How can I only see such a big place when I make something?"
　　 "Look at it!"
Seeing that the other party dared to underestimate her own'thinking' for several days, and finally completed the big project smoothly under the reminder of the bear, Annie was a little unhappy at the moment, so she directly stretched out her hand and held the gem-like After the big crystal ball, the entire sand table became messy... Then, after it soon calmed down again, Altria found in astonishment that the castle on this sand table had become smaller, and those The trees and roads are also... as if a larger area has been reduced to show it?
　　 "This is... the entire southern part of Britain?!"
　　 "Yes! It can see the whole of Britain and most of Europe at most! Other places are not good, because I only launched a few satellites, I only let them aim at this place."
　　 "As long as I hold this crystal ball with my hand, I want to zoom in or out, and then specify a place, just like this!"
　　 With Annie's thoughts, the whole world was shrunk again, and then the British Isles began to appear on the sand table together, including oceans, land, mountains, rivers, human gathering places, and so on! However, after zooming to this level, they can only see the small outlines of the city and the topography of the mountains. Even the forests are only patches of green, and the roads are so small that they are almost unrecognizable.
After seeing a certain dumb hair was really scared~EbookFREE.me~ Annie pointed to a place randomly, turning the colored magic sand on the sand table into the sea surface, as well as the shimmering waves that appeared on it, and a ship A sailboat just parked on the sea.
　　 "Strange..."
　　 "What is that ship over there? Is it also a sea ship?"
　　 Altria suddenly pointed to a small moving object on the sea, about the size of a fingernail, exclaiming.
　　 "Of course it's a boat, what else can there be!"
　　 Annie was a little inexplicable and said without looking up.
　　 Isn’t it normal that there are ships on the sea? People sailed on the sea in a good manner. No one was hired and no one was provoked. What's so fuss about?
　　 "I'm not talking about that ship, I'm talking about the little black thing farther away!"
She didn’t pay attention to the small ship that seemed to be stopping beside Altria herself, nor did she look at it. She just pointed at the other side of the sand table remotely, and pointed at the sea surface. In the distance, a small black spot that appeared almost on the edge of the sand table spoke.
　　Because the distance is a bit far, and the model of the boat is too small, she can't see clearly.
　　 "Oh? It's really strange..."
