The Origin of Arcane

　　 Five days later.

　　 Captain Gordon, the envoy sent by King Steubin of the East China Sea, traveled more than 600 kilometers by land, water and sea, and finally arrived at the flagship of the East China Sea Fleet Squadron.

　　 Even the most important instrument in the past was too late to take care of it. Captain Gordon immediately approached Captain Moore, told him about the predicament of the East China Sea Fleet, and conveyed the latest order of King Stubaine.

　　 From beginning to end, Morma's long face was drooping, without any sadness or joy, and he was always silent.

"Your Excellency Captain, please call your troops as soon as possible to go to Donau River for rescue. If you delay for a minute, your Majesty will be more dangerous." Captain Gordon couldn't help but urge when he saw Moore's delay. "Don't the captain believe what I said is impossible? I can bet on my life and credibility. What I said is true and not exaggerated, especially the magic artillery."

　　 "I don't have any doubts about the information that Captain Gordon brought." Captain Moore exhaled as he awakened from a dream.

　　 "Uh..." Captain Gordon was a little surprised.

　　 Before they left, they agreed that how to convince Captain Moore that the East China Sea Fleet was blocked by the fleet led by the Yongye Army was the most difficult thing.

Captain Moore seemed to see the question in Captain Gordon’s heart, and took the initiative to answer: "I have seen with my own eyes the power of the artillery artillery in your mouth. They are also loaded on the river to block our deep inland ship. Up to now, our side has damaged more than 300 warships of various types."

　　 "More than three hundred ships were lost in the battle?" Captain Gordon couldn't help but breathe in air.

　　 But I thought of the cunning of the Yongye army leader, the mighty infantry formation, and the sharpness of the artillery.

　　 Captain Moore had such a loss without even knowing it, and it didn’t seem to be too surprising.

　　 After all, compared to the East China Sea Fleet, the squadron led by Moore had to go deep into the Donau Plains to looting, covering a larger area and more prone to battle damage.

"I'm sorry, I've lost my mind." Seeing a hint of discomfort flashed on Captain Moore's face, Captain Gordon hurriedly apologized, "This defeat is not a command error by the captain, but the enemy we are facing this time. It’s too cunning, thanks to the captain of the fleet who sits here. If you change to someone else, the loss may be even greater. I believe your Majesty must understand this."

　　 "Humph!" Captain Moore snorted, his expression unchanged.

Captain Gordon is wise not to dwell on this topic, because the battle damage lies here, how can this matter not be a feat, "Since the captain believes the news I bring, let's hurry up and gather the fleet. Go and rescue your Majesty!"

　　 After a few seconds of silence, Captain Moore said: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't."

　　 "What do you mean by Captain Fleet?" Captain Gordon looked shocked.

"It's not only your majesty, but also the squadron who fell into the trap of the Eternal Night Army." A trace of sadness appeared on Moore's face. "The enemy's army is too strong. Our infantry is not an opponent at all, so We chose from the beginning, using our best pirate tactics, large-scale division of forces, and at the same time launching attacks from more points in the Five Rivers.

I don’t know, this is in the arms of the other side. They were just guarding in major towns at first. A week ago, the other side began to attack all the lines and blocked our landing troops on the plain. The two sides fell into a stalemate. , It will be difficult to withdraw for a while.

　　 If the fleet is simply withdrawn, if the 30,000 sailors who have landed ashore are given up, this responsibility is not something you and I can bear. "

　　 "How could this happen?" Captain Gordon straightened his eyes and murmured to himself, the situation in front of him was completely unexpected.

　　 Just like Captain Moore said, the life and death of thirty thousand sailors is not something they can bear.

Ji Zhongshengzhi, Captain Gordon offered a somewhat whimsical opinion, "Since the sailors who landed ashore will not be able to withdraw for a while, why not gather the squadrons first, go to rescue your Majesty, and come back to pick them up after meeting with the main fleet led by your Majesty. Not later."

"This method is not realistic." Moore shook his head without hesitation. "The squadron is too scattered now. It takes half a week to pass the assembly order, let alone to rescue your Majesty. It will take two weeks at the earliest. Do you think those 30,000 soldiers can last for half a month without the support of the fleet?"

　　 "No." Captain Gordon shook his head, let alone half a month. Once they knew that the squadron had withdrawn, they would surrender to the Yongye Army leader if they could not hold on for a week.

　　 "Is there no way?" Captain Gordon asked unwillingly.

　　 "I try to retreat them as much as possible, but it will take at least a week or more to gather the troops, plus the rush time, it will take at least two weeks, or even longer, can your Majesty be able to hold on for such a long time?" Captain Moore asked.

"It's hard to say." Captain Gordon's face became very ugly. "Even if your majesty can persist, the landing force led by Captain Lena will find it difficult to persist. The food supplies they bring ashore will be halved, Can't last for half a month."

"There is nothing I can do about this." Captain Moore said helplessly. "It is better to look forward to the squadron led by me than to the garrisoned fleet led by His Highness Leiden. Didn't you just say that Your Majesty also sent someone to your Highness. Have you asked for help? If your Highness moves fast enough, it only takes a week to rescue your Highness."

　　 When he heard these words, Captain Gordon's face had turned purple, and the anger in his heart almost burst out.

　　As the important minister of the East China Sea, how could he say such irresponsible words?

　　 This is completely shifting the responsibility to His Highness Leiden.

　　 When the time comes, the rescue is not timely, and the responsibility is not on him, but because of the ineffective actions of Prince Leiden who is stationed in the rear.

　　 However, Captain Gordon is somewhat self-aware, he is just a messenger of King Stubbs, not his Majesty himself.

　　 And Moore is one of the few real powers in the East China Sea. In many cases, even King Steuben himself dared to contradict him.

　　 Normally, he doesn't even look at himself righteously, thinking that he is a jester who is favored by King Steuben by his rhetoric.

　　 Now that the other party can patiently explain so much to himself, it is entirely for the king's envoy.

"Although there are many difficulties on my side, I cannot ignore the dangerous situation of your majesty. Let me give me three days to organize the fleet as much as possible. Even if there is no way to support the whole fleet, I will try my best to divide it. Set aside some warships to rescue Your Majesty, what does the captain think?" Moore finally gave a compromise opinion.

　　 "It can only be so." Captain Gordon's complexion somewhat eased, at least this result is better than empty-handed.

"Before this, the captain rested on my flagship for the time being, looking at the captain's face, in the past week, there has been no less running around, only if you have enough energy, can you better rescue and protect your Majesty." Captain Moore did not give at all. Captain Gordon refused the opportunity and said to the two guards beside him, "Take the captain down to rest. During this period, the safety of the captain will be guarded by you two."

　　 "What do you mean by Captain Fleet?" Captain Gordon's expression just eased, and immediately became gloomy again.

　　 Serve yourself to rest, do you need two great knights?

　　 They are now on the flagship of the squadron, what is the danger?

　　 Is it possible that the soldiers led by the Yongye Army, dare to rush up and not touch it?

　　 It is more appropriate to monitor yourself than to protect yourself.

　　 But the question is why do you want to monitor yourself?

"Captain, don't get me wrong." Moore explained patiently, "You don't know. The number of knights and great knights led by the Eternal Night Army is amazing, especially since they have combat skills similar to spells, and they can always imagine ordinary people. Unexpected things, including stealth and stealth. The skilled warships of our squadron were touched by them in this way, and which warships have been replaced by them. No one can tell the leader, so even if we are on the offshore warship, it is not necessarily safe.

In particular, I am here to command the flagship, and it is also the primary target of the Yongye Army leader. There have been several invasions. It is a pity that we have not caught alive, nor have we figured out how the other party touched it. Of battleship.

The only good news is that these people seem to focus on spying on information and did not attack me, otherwise I would have died in my sleep. The captain is a messenger sent by your majesty. There must be no mistakes. If there is any inconvenience, , Please forgive me, captain. "

　　 "There is still such a thing?" Captain Gordon changed his color suddenly, and said a little restlessly, "No, this matter must be notified to your majesty as soon as possible. If the other party sends an assassin, what will happen to your majesty?"

"The captain's loyalty to your Majesty is truly impeccable." Captain Moore praised sincerely, "Far water can't save a near fire. Even if you turn back as fast as you can, it will take more than half a week. If there is anything unbearable. It happened long ago, but you should be clear about what your Majesty is. He is a very cautious person with a very strong sense of crisis and will not be so easily caught."

　　 "Although it is said, it is better to have a **** in advance, it is better to know nothing." Captain Gordon shook his head repeatedly, "Trouble the Captain to make arrangements, I will return to your Majesty immediately."

　　 "What about the squadron's return to aid?" Moore showed a trace of embarrassment.

"I just passed the order on behalf of Your Majesty. Now the order has been passed. The rest is up to the captain of the fleet. It is useless for me to stay here. It is better to bring the situation of the squadron here as soon as possible. Your Majesty knows, let him be prepared." After the initial anger, Captain Gordon's eyes have returned to clarity, showing that this decision was not driven by impulse, but with deep consideration of his own.

　　Moore groaned slightly, nodded and said, "That's good, you two choose the fastest warship and **** Captain Gordon to the nearest safe place."

　　 "Don't have to be so troublesome, the captain only needs to send a clipper and a few sailors to me." Captain Gordon hurriedly said.

"How can this be done?" Radmore shook his head repeatedly, "The captain has a special identity. When I came, I was powerless. When I returned, I couldn't let the captain get involved. Now we and Yongyejun are on the ground. , It’s complicated. If the captain accidentally breaks into the control area of ​​the Yongye Army, if there is any mistake, your Majesty will be held accountable, and I can’t afford it. This is the case.

　　 Seeing the opponent's face that couldn't be rejected, Captain Gordon finally nodded and accepted, "So thank you for the captain's kindness, and I also ask the captain to return as soon as possible."

"Captain, don’t worry, everyone is in the same boat. This ship sinks, and it’s not good for anyone." Captain Moore promised with a pat on his chest, "We will do our best and give your Majesty a little confidence. As a man who led our Third Fleet to form an independent kingdom, he could not be defeated so easily. Maybe he has already escaped by himself before our reinforcements arrive."

　　 "I hope so." Captain Gordon is not as optimistic as Captain Moore.

　　 Captain Gordon rejected Moore’s suggestion to take a rest and go on his way the next morning. He took the Clippers prepared for him overnight and embarked on the way back to the East China Sea Fleet’s main fleet.

Worrying that King Steuben was assassinated by the leader of the Eternal Night Army is only one aspect. The most important thing is the vague attitude of the squadron captain Radmoore. He must be notified as soon as possible. He always feels that there is a deeper layer behind the flickering of the other party’s words. The deep meaning of is just what the specifics are, but I can't see clearly, and I dare not think about it.

　　 But one thing is certain~www.readwn.com~ In the matter of rescue, Captain Moore is not worthy of a heavy letter.

　　 It's just a week of running around, day and night, even a man of iron can not hold it, let alone the one that was swept by the smile of death at the beginning, the cold spell invaded the body, and it was not completely driven away.

　　 Although this thing is not life-saving, it is like a bone gangrene, entangled in the body, continuously consuming his energy, and it is more likely to fall into a state of exhaustion.

　　 boarded back on the Clippers, had a full meal, surrounded by warm fur bedding, Captain Gordon unknowingly fell into a sleepy state.

　　 I always feel that I have a pair of eyes staring at me, and it seems that I have heard countless whispers, as if I was plotting something.

　　 But when I listened deliberately, it seemed that I didn't hear anything. The surroundings fell into silence, not only the whispers, but also the sound of the warship breaking the water.

　　 There is something wrong, something is wrong, wake up, wake up, wake up quickly.

　　 Captain Gordon roared wildly in his heart. He didn't know how long he had been struggling. He suddenly sat up, opened his eyes, and his goal was dim. It seemed that he had just fallen asleep and the sun had already set.

After a few seconds, Captain Gordon was able to fully adapt to the dimness. However, seeing the situation in the cabin, his body tensed involuntarily and said in an inadvertent tone: "How long have we been walking? The two captains asked me for something. What's the matter?"
