Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 317 Inexplicable retreat

"One two three, one two three!"

On the dragon boat, the soldiers were urgently repairing the ship. The soldiers were replacing the damaged sails. On the deck, there were also soldiers busy disposing of the dead bodies and washing the blood-stained hull.

"You said, why did the Sea Clan retreat suddenly?"

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

The Sea Clan retreated suddenly at the height of the battle, giving the human army a chance to breathe. This short and fierce battle caused the expedition fleet to lose at least two hundred warships, with nearly 20,000 casualties. The rate exceeded one and a half percent.

Although the loss of the sea warriors was not small, they attacked the human warships like endlessly. With the cooperation of the priests of the sea tribe, 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 wiped out sooner or later. The Sea Clan army with the cooperation of spellcasters is completely different from the previous Sea Clan army.

I just don't know why, but the Sea Clan army chose to retreat when the advantage was obvious. Although this was a good thing, it still made Paley wonder if there was any conspiracy in it.

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

Even Li Cha's inadvertent direct push was just guessing that perhaps the Sea Clan's retreat had something to do with the death of the deep-sea giant whale, but from a normal logic analysis, even though the death of the deep-sea giant whale caused the Sea Clan to lose an important battle force , but it didn't change the balance of strength between the two sides. Continue to fight, and when Richard and Natalis are tired of killing, it's his turn to run away. The battle has been fought to this extent, and there should be no retreat.

However, since the Sea Clan gave them a chance, they could only bite the bullet and go on.

"No matter how you say it, we have no way out this time. No matter what the Hai Clan's plan is, as long as we drive south for another six days, Mr. Richard can take the giant dragon to reach the Sea Clan's clam farm. When the time comes, the Hai Clan will naturally Throwing rats."

"Um"

Paul's speech was approved by most of the people present. This operation was originally a risky gamble. If they lost, these warships and navy would basically be unnecessary for the kingdom.

"Let me correct you, the fleet only needs to sail for another four days. I am sure to fly directly to the sea clam farm on the dragon."

Li Cha is not a brave hero. The warrior who dares to go deep into the enemy's territory alone is purely due to the obvious shortcomings of the Sea Clan, which has almost zero aerial capabilities and is completely defenseless against giant dragons in the shallows. , as long as Li Cha shows up with the giant dragon, the Sea Clan will have to find a way to negotiate, and there will be no danger at all.

"Brother-in-law, is what you said true? You can't be brave in this kind of thing."

"Do you think I'm joking about something like this?"

Li Cha's words made the high-level people around, including Paley, show a little joy. Being able to save two days of driving is also a huge breakthrough. Perhaps it is because of the two days that the entire operation will have a different result.

"Okay! Give me an order, and the fleets will set off immediately after the maintenance is completed, and continue to sail towards the sea clam farm!"

"yes!"

deep sea

The Sea Clan's retreat was not accidental. The death of the High Priest could not be concealed at all. After killing the High Priest, Sandro ordered the army to withdraw to join the Sea King.

He knew very well that the death of the high priest was extremely strange in the eyes of his trusted priests. Even if he pushed the death of the high priest to the strong human beings who killed the giant whales in the deep sea, these people would not be able to trust him. The prestige of the High Priest cannot be overwhelmed by other high priests with his status, not to mention that he himself is still within the scope of their suspicion.

At this time, because of the death of the high priest, the king of the sea regained his authority. The high priest had been operating for a long time. Now that he died, except for the priest group that originally belonged to him, the other sea tribes who were like weeds were very Will soon fall back to Aquaman.

"Your Majesty the Sea King, the high priest was killed by a strong human being who chased after him after killing the giant deep-sea whale. The high priest died heroically after fighting the opponent."

"Nonsense! You were by the high priest's side at that time, why didn't you die when the high priest died! I suspect that you killed the high priest."

"I am the general who was hand-picked by the high priest. I am the most trusted person by the high priest. How could I kill the high priest?"

Sandro was shocked by the accusation of a high priest, but he quickly complained.

"At least you are afraid of death and dereliction of duty, please His Majesty the Sea King severely punish Sandro!"

Neptune sat on a chair made of coral reefs and listened expressionlessly to the conversations of several people, but he never spoke. The news of the death of the main high priest came too suddenly, and he had not had time to calm down. Although Sandro was arranged by him However, it is hard for him to imagine that Sandro actually found an opportunity to kill the high priest. He dare not speak now because he is afraid that if he can't help but laugh, the scene may become very embarrassing.

"Since you claim to be the most trusted person of the High Priest, I would like you to accompany the High Priest. I wonder if General Sandro would like to?"

"Ahem! Stop, that's enough."

Neptune, who had adjusted his mood, coughed twice, and stopped the quarrel of the people below. It was a while ago, but Neptune’s words were not so effective. The eyes of several senior priests were almost growing to the top of their heads, and everyone except the high priest commanded Don't move them, but now there is no high priest as a backer, and when they face Aquaman, they will lose the arrogance they had before.

The five senior priests and more than a dozen bloodline warriors who led the troops immediately stopped arguing when they heard Haiwang's tone of impatience and waited for him to speak.

"It's not good for Sandro to guard the high priest. Cancel all the rations for this month, cut off the general's authority, and return to the royal court as a guard for the time being."

The punishment Haiwang read was not painful at all. Sandro, as a noble blood warrior born in the sea clan, did not lack the resources for that month. The vicious dog is just a bone used to raise the dog, and it is a good thing that Haiwang takes it back now.

As for returning to the royal court as a guard, this is simply a blatant defense.

There are two high priests below who still refuse to accept it. They want to say something, but they are all attracted by a matter thrown out by Neptune. The pursuit of Sandro is an important matter that can be temporarily put aside.

"The high priest passed away. We have to reconfirm a candidate for the high priest. I think we should choose among the five."

The five senior priests who had just been fighting against each other looked at each other in blank dismay. They are one of the people who have the deepest experience of the power of the high priest. It can even be said that becoming a high priest is one of their life goals. Now Neptune throws this question out , they couldn't help being unmoved.

Just when they were still hesitating, Neptune continued:

"This time the high priest no longer has only one, but will select the three best priests from among the five priests to serve as the high priest, and the monthly distribution of resources is equivalent to that of the high priest."

After speaking, the corner of Neptune's mouth curled up into a playful smile. If Li Cha was here, the idiom would definitely pop up in his mind-two peaches kill three men...
