Chapter 379 The Flying Leaf on the Sea of ​​Tranquility ([-])

"The command group notified all Shutorals, carry equipment, enforce martial law immediately, block the stairs and entrances and exits, and clear the deck.

"The Homonwarts school has informed all the crew members that martial law will be enforced on the Feiye immediately. All students, please return to your cabins."

Dean Marianne's familiar and solemn voice echoed in every cabin, even if you cover your ears, you will still hear her orders in the depths of your consciousness.Homenworth students and exchange students had accused the squabble of scolding, and they huddled together on the main deck, and they were about to fight.

"Ms. Marianne is so powerful, shouldn't it be enough to shoot directly?" Ophelia whispered dissatisfiedly, "The same is true for the search in the school, and the martial law here. The professors are all supernatural wizards, and the efficiency of their actions is not far away. Overtake us?"

"That's right, that's right," Lana also yelled, "When we first entered school, we all fought back a sea monster. At that time, we thought it was nothing. Looking back, there were professors and assistant professors on board. ?”

"Enough is enough, execute the order!" Griffith raised his hand and knocked on everyone's helmets, mobilizing the armored cavalry, "Lana, LS, take two teams and me to the deck, and send Bayeran to the deck. People and Odessa people are separated.

"Ophelia, Nona, and the first grade stretched the net rope under the side of the ship on the second deck.

"Mira, I need two people to go to the bridge..."

Each grade of Shutoral had to elect a commander in the first semester.After Griffith was elected because of his combat performance when he entered school, his status and prestige have been unshakable.

Despite everyone's dissatisfaction, under his instigation, the cavalrymen of the Young Praetorian Guards of the two grades moved quickly.The actions of the first graders were particularly decisive. They completed the orders of their superiors without any discount, just like Griffith and others did when they first entered school.

"Griffith Griffith," Sonia rose from her seat and hurried to her knight, tugging at his arm to make him bend over, "I heard that Aaron and his followers They have been planning to exchange hands for a long time, and today's incident may even be caused by them..."

Sonia's last few words were not even intelligible.The clamor on deck mixed with insults and anger poured into the cabin like a tidal wave.

"I'll come when I go," Griffith comforted softly, "You and Galadia don't wander around here."

"But what should you do?" the Countess said anxiously, "The exchange students are almost all from famous families, and they are guests who have just arrived, and the nobles and wizards of Byerland are also in conflict with them. Even Ms. Marian They are unwilling to handle it personally. Your reputation..."

"My reputation has long spread," Griffith pressed the girl's hand, "I know that being weak or being strong will offend a group of people."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of the knight's mouth: "There are three big men sitting in the room, the king, the pope, and the rich man. They all ordered the mercenaries to kill the other two people. What should the mercenaries do?"

"How to do?"

Griffith looked at the back of Shutoral who was leaving, lowered his head and said in Sonia's ear: "This question is something I have to answer."

……

The deck was already boiling like boiling water.

Fischer de Ecu, one of Aaron's little followers, was with a number of others surrounding the small number of Odessa exchange students.

"We all know that the Odessa people have abandoned piety and truth for the side of darkness and evil."

"No, we don't." Several exchange students subconsciously distinguished.

"Then why did monsters appear in Homenwarts after you came here?" Byeran's students asked loudly.

"Do you still have few monsters!" The Odessa shouted, pointing at Griffith who led the team to the deck.

"Hey, don't tell me~" Fisher looked back and muttered to his companion.

Trotsky stepped on him, shook the paper coupon in his hand, and shouted loudly: "If you are innocent, then come and take the piety coupon in my hand, sign your name, make a promise, and pay homage to worship!" Yelan and the Holy See of the Seven Gods promised to accept our supervision and be loyal forever! Do you agree?"

This sentence is like pouring a spoonful of water into the oil pan, and the deck boils instantly.

"We don't agree!" The exchange student yelled, "We are not peasants from the countryside and we can be teased by you!"

"Don't think we don't know, you have already betrayed the Holy Light and the Holy See of the Gods through that person."

"You Baiyalan people are all unbelievers! Pan-believers like elves!"

The wording immediately angered the students at Homenworth.They issued severe accusations, waved their fists and wands, and surrounded the few exchange students.

"Martial law has been issued, go back to your cabin," Griffith shouted, "disperse! Otherwise, you will be dispersed!"

The thunder made the crowd pause.However, when the crowd turned their heads and glanced at Shutoral who was in line, contemptuous eyes immediately appeared.

Miss Holuf cast a haughty glance at Griffith.

"We wizards and priests are discussing issues, and it's not your turn to speak, a Muggle who doesn't have the favor of mysteries and gods."

Her words immediately elicited a round of approbation.The two factions who were still scolding just now shouted at Griffith.

"Go away, you butcher! (Shut up, Muggles!)"

"Throw this bastard disguised as a paladin into the sea!"

"Don't tell me, the effect of Griffith's coming here is really good." LS said to Lana with a calm expression like a stone statue, and at the same time pressed his hand on the pouch at his waist.

Lana ignored him, just grinning grinningly.

The armored cavalrymen lined up in a row with their armor on, looking at the second-level assault squadron leader in front of the line.Griffith slowly raised his right hand above his head while pulling a face mask over his mouth and nose.

Seeing this, Fiona and Alyosha, the nobles who owned Sutorral, and many clever people who were watching the excitement from the crowd ran away, and fled behind Sutorral.

Fisher raised his hands high, ready to take advantage of the momentum and shout a few words.Suddenly, he seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and when the words came to his mouth, there were only squeaks left.

The deck suddenly seemed to be frozen.The heart-stopping chill was circling, and the clamoring crowd saw the armored cavalry take out palm-sized small metal cans from their waist pockets, and put on masks covering their mouths and noses.

Many people found this scene somewhat familiar.

Griffith coldly swept across the gathered crowd, and waved his raised hand down.

"disperse."

Shutoral of the two groups threw the small pots in their hands at the feet of the crowd.With a crackling sound, large groups of white smoke sprang up.The strong odor is as irritating as fire, which makes people unable to open their eyes and makes their throat feel uncomfortable.

There was coughing and crying on the deck.The students who were crowded together just now, regardless of their status, screamed and cried, pushed each other, and became a mess.

"Pull them out!"

Amid the thunderous roar, the armored cavalry rushed forward, grabbed the panicked students with their powerful hands, dragged them across the deck, and threw them to the back one by one.The young nobles and wizards who were attacked by tear gas coughed violently one by one, with tears and snot all over their faces.In the suffocating white smoke, some people even jumped over the side of the ship, crying and jumping into the sea regardless.

Fortunately, the net rope had already been stretched on the side of the boat, and the students who jumped off the boat landed on it one by one, and were dragged into the cabin by Ophelia, who was leading the first-year Xiutoral.

……

"Ms. Marianne, please stop the ship. We need to count the list and confirm the number of people in case anyone is missing," Griffith retreated from the chaotic deck, entered the bridge and said to the professor and the captain, " Please help us."

"Mr. Knight, my original intention is to dissuade. The memory of being attacked by tear gas is not..." Dean Marian shook his head helplessly, "Well, there is no point in saying this now. I will count the number of people as soon as possible and resume the voyage. "

Griffith nodded in salute, then turned around and retreated.

"Mr. Knight," the dean suddenly stopped him, "the riot has been brought under control for the time being, but the threat in the rumors has not been eliminated," Ms. Marianne said, "I hope you can find out who attacked me Students, whether they are people or monsters."

Griffith thumped the breastplate: "Your will will be enforced, ma'am."
