Chapter 139 Can the Fleet of the Lord of Radiance be stopped? (Wanna Reward Plus 2)

"Why are there so many ships?"

"Yeah! Why are there so many big ships?"

Not long after, all the members of the task force climbed to the top of the mountain, talking a lot.Captain Barnes was lying on the edge of the cliff, staring at the sail below, his eyes were almost bleeding:
Below is a complete fleet, large and small, with at least twenty ships.The two leading ships have four masts, two of which are erected high, and the front and rear two are leaning forward and backward respectively.

The ship is tall, and the forecastle and stern are even taller, floating on the river, looking like a castle.

These two big ships alone are amazing enough. Judging by their size, they can transport at least 500 soldiers—or even more if the distance is short.

In addition to these two ships, there are six or seven three-masted ships in the fleet, some are sharp and brisk, as if they are good at chasing and killing, some are square and solid, and they look like they are used to carry people and goods.Even if those two-masted boats add up to a dozen or so, the number of troops transported cannot be underestimated.

"There must be 10,000 people..."

"How did you come here... did you go wrong? Still don't know how deep the river is?"

"Such a big ship can't reach the upstream port!"

The soldiers gathered on the top of the cliff and discussed, their faces reddened by the cold wind were full of tension and uneasiness.Gretel frowned, desperately recalling the geographic records in the mage's tower——

However, those records are quite simple. A map is often just a few random lines drawn to represent roads, and circles to represent cities. Let alone topography and landforms, God knows whether the scale is correct.

With those maps, one can guess why the Lord of Radiance fleet came here?Totally dreaming!
Might as well count on his own eyes!
Gretel was condescending, overlooking the estuary.On the left hand side, which is the upper reaches of the Dorff River, the river is not too wide, only a few hundred meters by visual inspection.

However, looking to the right, the towering cliffs expand suddenly to both sides, forming a trumpet-shaped bay.Gretel exhausted his eyesight, and could only see the faint coast in the twilight, like two arms embracing the sea, and the width between the arcs should not be less than 10 kilometers.

Gretel felt a little bad.At the same time, the magician, who was staring at the bay like him, thought for a long time before turning around suddenly.The movement was so big that he kept tightly wrapped the hood against the sea wind, and it fell down directly:

"No, they are not going the wrong way! The fleet of the Lord of Radiance is going to go this way, and they are going to insert behind our main camp!"

"How is it possible?" Captain Barnes blurted out in surprise.Beside him, the shield warrior York, who was also at the fifth level, took a step forward, and with a nervous click, he crushed a rock directly:
"What a joke!—they can't get in such a big ship!"

The two highest-ranking fighters questioned at the same time.In the twilight, the magician shook his head again and again, pointing to the far away coast, the full moon that had just risen:

"Full moon tide! It's a full moon tide! I've read such a record, that at the mouth of the Dorf River, the spring tide at the time of the full moon can surge up dozens of miles in one breath, greatly raising the water level! —— Riding on the tide, they can rush across in one breath This section of the canyon has been rushed to the flat ground and landed!"

Full moon tide!
Gretel was also terrified for an instant.He finally remembered what this bay meant—a bay in the shape of a trumpet mouth, narrowing upstream, and the full moon he saw before falling asleep last night—Haining tide!
Haining and Qiantang River are also such a bell mouth!

"That's right!" He agreed in a hasty tone:
"In such a terrain, when there is a high tide, the water level will indeed rise a lot! You see, the outside is a trumpet mouth. When the tide rises, the water level rises and pours into such a narrow river channel - wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, so much water rushes in at once. Come in, the water level inside will definitely rise a lot!"

If the captain is the commander of the contingent, then the well-informed caster is the brain of the contingent.Now that the two casters had the same opinion, the soldiers present looked at each other and became nervous.Beside Barnes, a warrior with two knives on his back stepped forward, speaking anxiously:
"Captain, what should we do?"

"Yeah, what should we do? Do we want to block them?" Another seventeen or eighteen-year-old archer asked.As he asked, he drew his bow and set an arrow, aiming at the big ship below—he aimed for a while, then finally shook his head and put away his bow and arrow.

Not enough range.Even if it is a condescending projectile, it can't kill even one person from such a distance.

Captain Barnes fell silent.Behind the team, a gray-and-black stalker played with a dagger and shook his head slightly.The cold light flipped deftly between his fingers, from the back of his hand to the palm of his hand, and from the palm of his hand to the back of his hand, flickering:

"There are too many of them. I can't stop them. Let's go back and report."

"That's right! Go back and report!" The dual-knife warrior who asked the question immediately urged: "Such a large team must report to the main battalion immediately! ——Captain, let's go!"

Do you want to leave now?
Gretel looked down, the majestic giant ship was gently ups and downs in the water waves, and the sailors were running around on the deck.Reefing sails, dropping anchor, scrubbing decks, a busy scene everywhere.Among them, only one ship is quiet:

Among the two largest four-masted ships, the one that flew the thunder flag, the iris flag, and the golden lion flag at the same time.

Two rows of soldiers lined up neatly on both sides of the ship.The armor is bright, the sword is unsheathed.

In the middle of the soldiers, near the mainmast, stood three men shoulder to shoulder, holding long staffs, and their silk robes shone in the setting sun.

The distance was too far, and Gretel could not see their faces clearly at all. He could only see the red-robed man in the middle raising his staff, and behind them, soldiers came up to them one by one.

Some are dressed in thin and ragged clothes, with their arms and legs exposed;
Some could hardly walk on their own and were dragged forward by two soldiers;
Some struggled while walking;

Some wore neat robes, were dragged by soldiers from left to right, and still strode forward with their heads held high.

Gretel even saw a little girl in a soft white dress, looking around in a daze.The soldiers guarding the child seemed to have the heart to pull her too hard, and bent down to hold her hand, but they didn't allow her to run around and disturb the nobleman.

A group of 30 people was pulled onto the deck, facing the man in the red robe, they were stepped on their knees by the soldiers and knelt down.The man in the red robe seemed to say something, and there was chaos immediately below. Some people struggled, some shouted, some banged their heads on the ground, and some knelt and crawled forward and stretched out their hands.

The prisoner, who was wearing a neat robe and walked with his head held high, even struggled to break free from the soldier, rushed forward, and hugged the little girl tightly.

However, no matter what they expressed, the red-robed man remained unmoved.He didn't move, and neither did the soldiers. Under the strong sea wind, it seemed that these soldiers had all turned into sculptures.Only a few sailors stepped forward and set up a long, narrow plank on the bow.

Then, Gretel watched in horror as the prisoners were driven onto the board one by one with their hands tied behind their backs and eyes blindfolded.

"they are……"

"A prisoner captured by the Church of the Lord of Radiance." A voice in his ear answered coldly. Gretel turned his head and saw the fourth-level mage who came with him standing beside him, looking down without blinking.

The sea breeze flushed the mage's cheeks.The sorcerer who had pulled his hood tightly to warm up to the fire last night, let the cold wind blow across his cheeks, his waist was straight, and he didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all:

"—Or, heretics. You, me, our relatives, if caught by them, will look like this."

The prisoners were dragged onto the plank one by one.The sailors gathered on either side of the plank, shouting, clubbing, and whipping, driving them staggering onward.Trembling, shaking, forward - falling.

The wailing and begging for mercy were unbearable.However, the soldiers still dragged people forward mechanically, one fell, and another was dragged.Those who couldn't walk or climb onto the planks were thrown directly into the sea from the side of the ship.

The deck was emptied of prisoners one by one, and finally, only the man in the neat robe remained, holding the girl and half kneeling in the center of the circle.

They were both prisoners, but that person seemed to be treated preferentially. No one pulled him, and no one stepped forward to tie him up.Only the man in red said something loudly, the prisoner in long robe turned his head to look at him, and suddenly stood up with the little girl in his arms.

With this movement, the surrounding atmosphere immediately became tense.Beside the red-robed man, two men in dark robes leveled their staffs at the same time, aiming at the prisoner.The two rows of soldiers on the side also took a step forward, their shiny swords neatly designating the direction of the prisoners.

The little girl burst into tears.The robed prisoner lowered his head, hugged the little girl tightly, put her down carefully, and turned to face the bow.Just about to take a step, he turned around again, rubbed the girl's hair, bent down and kissed her on the face.

Then the man strode forward and stepped onto the plank of the bow.Walking to the side of the ship, he calmly put his hands behind his back, allowing the sailors to tie his wrists and blindfold him.

In the sea breeze, the man straightened his chest and walked to the end of the plank step by step.

Step into the air.

come down.

The sea breeze howled.

The pure white seagulls circled back and forth on the bow of the ship, calling out one after another, the sound was piercing.

The soldiers on the ship were like clay sculptures and wood sculptures, silently watching the prisoner in robes fall, without any reaction.Only the little girl who was let go by them cried and screamed, stumbled and ran on the deck for a long time, and finally climbed up the plank.

On the cliff, there was a long, long, dead silence.

Waiting for them to go back to inform the main camp, and then wait for the main camp to come over. It takes more than three or five days to go back and forth.

In the past three to five days, the land under their feet will be ruined by the Church of the Lord of Radiance.

"Can you stop them?"

Captain Barnes asked suddenly.The shield warrior didn't speak, the stalker didn't speak, the mage pulled up his hood, glanced at the ships below one by one, as if he wanted to engrave that fleet into his heart, and then turned around resolutely.

"You can try."

"You can try it."

Gretel spoke at the same time as him.In the twilight, the eyes of the two casters met, and they saw the light in each other's eyes.
