    "Okay, let's rest here for one night and go back tomorrow." Looking up at the sky, Thor said to everyone.  It was almost dusk, and a fiery red cloud appeared in the distant sky. Under the increasingly gloomy sky, the sea was like a lead-colored curtain, constantly shaking up and down. The waves hit the rocks on the shore, and countless foam splashed on them.  There was a loud crashing sound in mid-air.  The area near the cliff is in ruins.  The originally dilapidated ruins now had only a floor of bricks and stones, and almost no standing wall could be seen.  The cracks on the ground were criss-crossed, rubble was everywhere, and the sea breeze blew across the wreckage, seeming to remind everyone how tragic the battle just now was.  Everyone worked together to lift Kress and return to the beach.  At this time, the sailors had set up a tent on the beach, and food was cooking on the burning bonfire, and the aroma was filled.  Although the temperature is gradually dropping, it gives people a warm feeling.  "Okay, I'm going back." Leliana said to Raymond.  "I'm verywell, sorry about Gru." Raymond wanted to comfort her. After all, Gru was from the Sidonian sect, but he couldn't find the right words for the moment.  "It's okay." Unexpectedly, Leliana just smiled indifferently.  "Huh?" Only then did Raymond remember that Leliana had been very calm since Gru was defeated and fell into the sea.  Although her character is like this, she is too calm.  Leliana seemed to see what he was thinking: "Before coming, Mr. Gru had made an agreement with me that no matter whether he won or lost this battle, he would leave afterward. That's why I was the only one who followed." "Is that so?  "It suddenly dawned on Raymond, and he couldn't help but said: "In this case, will other people in your sect" Gru's strength is obvious to all, and I believe no one will give up such a powerful swordsman easily.  Leliana made such an agreement with Gru in private, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to do business after returning.  Leliana shook her head: "No. In fact, Mr. Gru is not a subordinate of our sect. In the sect, he only obeys my orders. Others, including the Pope, cannot instruct him." Lei  Meng always thought that Gru was dominated by the Sidonian sect.  Who knew that the actual situation would be like this.  No wonder every time Gru appeared, he was either alone or with Leliana, and no one else was seen following him.  He couldn't help but said: "This is really strange." Leliana smiled: "Mr. Gru is a very strange person. He never gets close to anyone, and no one knows what he is thinking. Although  He never disobeyed my instructions, but I didn¡¯t know him much better than anyone else. ¡°I always had the feeling that I was just like a stranger to him, just by chance.  He will just follow my orders. But when he makes his own decision, no one can influence him." At this point, Leliana spread her hands: "So, when he decides to leave after the war, no one can stop him.  , all I can do is follow him here to watch the battle." Raymond couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that Gru and the Sidonis sect.  In other words, the relationship with Leliana is so casual.  It's a shame they did it because of this in the first place.  Consider Gru as the most terrifying combat force of the Sidonian sect.  So, if Gru is so rebellious inside, why would he obey other people's instructions?  I heard Saul say that he was once a subordinate of someone in the Mojina continent.  Could it be that he is too powerful and has become empty and can no longer find his target.  Or the reason for action, so someone needs to point it out to him.  No matter who this person is or what he wants to do, because to Gru, good and evil have no meaning at all But even Raymond himself thinks this guess is too ridiculous.  It's hard to imagine that Gru would endure such pain due to his strength.  Therefore, he quickly dismissed the idea.  In short, no matter what Gru¡¯s purpose is, this person is really the most mysterious person that Raymond has ever seen.  "However, Gru was defeated after all, and he may have died Hey, don't you really feel anything?" Raymond still couldn't understand Leliana's calmness.  Leliana sighed: "Although I have never been close to his heart, I know very well that Mr. Gru doesn't care about life and death at all. Failure in the duel may affect him, but life and death? Not at all." "Therefore, I  This time I just came to see Mr. Gru off, but it didn't make any difference to him. He probably expected this result. "Noit might be a relief for him" Suddenly.  , Leliana said in an imperceptible tone.  "What?" Raymond didn't hear clearly.  &nbsp"No, it's nothing." Leliana raised her head and smiled: "That's it, so I won't feel sad." Raymond thought to himself that it's not just Gru, you are also a strange person. This is probably what Gru will choose.  It's because of you "Then, I'm going back." Leliana said, "I hope we have a chance to meet again in the future." "Well, I hope so." Raymond said goodbye.  Then, Leliana walked towards her ship, her figure gradually blurring in the slowly falling night.  ***************************************************  **************** No matter how many mysteries there are about Gru, he has become a thing of the past.  Raymond knew that he would probably never see such a powerful and terrifying swordsman again in the future.  Early the next morning, the "Cang Yun" set sail and carried everyone towards Headington.  Before they set off, the Sidonian sect's ship had already left the port and disappeared into the vast sea.     it's all over.  Gru opened his eyes suddenly!  He turned over and sat up, looking around blankly.  The sun was shining brightly, the sea breeze was blowing, and the sound of the waves could be heard clearly.  Looking around, he saw the tall masts, neat decks, and cables. He was actually on a ship.  Gru looked down at himself again. The wounds on his body had healed a lot. The huge wound on his abdomen was wrapped in a thick bandage.  The wound on the heart has also been closed, leaving a shocking scar, but the vision of the left eye is still blurry.  And his giant sword and the dragon tooth are neatly placed beside him.  I'm not dead?  "Master Gru, you're awake." At this moment, a voice came from beside him.  Gru turned his head.  I saw a well-dressed man standing aside.  "That's you?" Gru was startled for a moment, and then he recognized the other person: "That undead." That man was none other than Dusan, the ghost ship of Neisseras.  But why is Gru on his ship?  Seeing that Gru recognized himself, Dusan said happily: "So you still remember me, that's great. You have been in a coma for several days. Although I tried my best to deal with your injuries, you were really injured too seriously.  I'm really afraid you'll die like this."  There was an apologetic look on his face: "But unfortunately, your left eye can no longer be restored." Gru touched the position of his left eye, and there was only a bloody hole left there.  Although he was blind in one eye, his expression did not fluctuate.  Now he knows that it was Dusan who saved him from falling into the sea.  Gru asked: "Whysave me?" "This is an order from Lord Nesserys." Dusan said.  Seeing Gru's confusion, Dusan explained: "You gave me a lot of help in rescuing the master's child. Lord Nesserys has a clear grudge, and she has already repaid Lord Raymond. This time, you will be rescued from the sea.  "I am grateful to you for rescuing him." Only then did Gru understand.  Why is he who is seriously injured and on the verge of death here?  However, despite being rescued, Gru was not happy.  On the contrary, under his calm face, there was an imperceptible loss.  "SoIam still alive" Gru's behavior made Dusan very strange.  He couldn't help but said: "Although I don't know what you plan to do. However, this result is already within your expectations, right?" Upon hearing this, Gru turned his head sharply and looked at Dusan with a burning gaze.  Knowing the danger this guy was in, Dusang felt terrified when he saw him.  He quickly explained: "Because, when I persuaded Mr. Kress to drink the dragon's blood, you didn't stop me." "And you also said that that was the only way to defeat you. I was wondering if you were originally  I just wanted to" Seeing Gru's eyes getting colder and colder, Dusang suppressed his next words.  After a while, Gru said in a deep voice: "I tried my best, but he won." Not daring to continue on this topic, Dusan asked: "Where do you plan to go next? Is it to return to the banquet?  Donis sect? Or go to the Mojina continent?" After a moment of silence, Gru said slowly: "So someone can beat me." "Since he is not dead, then I will  Becomingstronger." Not understanding why he suddenly said this, Dusang had to say: "What are you planning to go to" Before he could finish his words, Gru said slowly: "What?  ?¡± ¡°Go to¡­Dragon Island.¡± Gru said without a doubt.  In an instant, Dusan revealed his??An expression of extreme fear.  He swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Are you going to Dragon Island?" Gru didn't answer, just gave him a cold look, and then closed his eyes.  Du Sang didn't dare to say anything anymore. He laughed dryly and said: "Ah haha, Dragon Island, the master is really going to kill me this time." The dragon hates the undead extremely. If it really comes to Dragon Island, those dragons will probably not care about Du Sang.  Is San the pet of Nethaleth?  To Toussaint, going there was like jumping into a pit of fire.  However, despite being scared, Dusan slapped his chest: "However, I have already said that no matter where you want to go, I promise to deliver it. This is the pride of being a ghost ship." "Dragon Island is Dragon Island,  Let¡¯s go!¡± After saying that, the ghost ship turned around and quickly headed towards the legendary Dragon Island.  ***************************************************  **************** Back at Headington, although Kress was seriously injured, he came back safely after all. Although Julie felt distressed, she was still very happy.  All in all, the result was a happy one.  While Kress was busy recuperating from his injuries and Thor was bragging about the earth-shattering duel, Raymond was involved in intense preparations for war.  With each passing day, there is less and less time left for him.  During this period, information continued to come from the Kingdom of Dirk. Leonard had eliminated all of his brother's forces and ascended to the throne of Dirk.  It doesn¡¯t exceed everyone¡¯s expectations.  Leonard has no intention of stopping the war.  After leaving his two cronies, Beren and Emma, ??to stabilize the domestic situation, he mobilized all his troops and began to assemble towards the border areas.  Having just ascended the throne, he couldn¡¯t wait to send more troops to the border before the domestic situation was stabilized, which shows that Leonard is also in a hurry.  His purpose is obvious, which is to eliminate Raymond, the biggest factor of instability, as quickly as possible!     at present.  The evacuation of the people west of Gaspard was largely complete, and all the towns and villages were deserted.  At the same time, east of Aulat City, in addition to some more remote areas, the evacuation of people in towns along the possible march route of Dirk's army is also in progress.  Hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into the Giant's Seal Pass, heading towards Headington.  Fortunately, Gaspard has been through wars for a long time, and the people have suffered from the war, so they are very receptive to this kind of large-scale retreat.  Much higher than in peaceful times.  ¡° Headington also has experience in resettling a large number of refugees.  Under the tireless work of Rickett and Charlotte, Headington was quickly and effectively settling the people who had been evacuated from Gaspard.  This huge evacuation work has brought great inconvenience to residents in both places.  However, Freddy used the intelligence organization in his hands to carry out good publicity to the people. Everyone realized that this was a key battle related to the survival of Headington and Gaspard. Most people gave understanding and support and did not  There was too much confusion.  It is in this tense and busy place.  The dwarf craftsmen worked overtime and rushed out a few more cannons at the last minute.  Bringing the total number of cannons to 20, this is the limit of what they can do under the current conditions.  At the same time, under the prompts of Saul, two kinds of artillery shells, shotgun shells and chain shells, were produced. After testing, the lethality to the army was much higher than that of ordinary solid bullets. ???????????????? Later.  These 20 cannons were rushed to the Seal of the Giants and installed on the walls of the fortress.     time!  time!  Everyone is racing against time!  ***************************************************  **************** "Be careful! Don't touch it." Under the command of the dwarf, the last cannon was hoisted onto the city wall.  Afterwards, the craftsmen who had been waiting for a long time immediately swarmed up and began the installation work nervously.  Because the development time is too short.  At present, the cannon has many shortcomings, one of which is its excessive size. Therefore, it cannot be used in field operations and can only be fired from a fixed location.  Fortunately, this time Raymond¡¯s decisive battle took place at the Seal of the Giant, which happened to be used for defensive battles.  Because the development of the cannons has been shrouded in strict secrecy, many people have not seen them for the first time until now.  In the past few days at the Seal of the Giant, countless officers, soldiers and civilians were looking at the 20 cannons located on the city wall, wondering what they were.  Not only them, but also many of Raymond's soldiers were very skeptical about the purpose of this weird iron cylinder.  "Alas, there is still too little time. Otherwise, if we can make it smaller, install wheels and use horses to drag it, we can let them see what artillery tactics are." Thor watched the last cannon installed in place,  I couldn't help but sigh.  He will not participate in this war, but he will stronglyAsk to come to the Seal of the Giants to see the cannon being installed.  Because for Thor, these cannons marked the first time that this new type of weapon appeared in actual combat, and they would definitely change the world. Such a monumental scene should be visited in person.  "What tactic?" Raymond asked strangely after hearing Sol's words.  "Ha, it's nothing." Thor knew that he had slipped his words, and he quickly laughed and said: "I think when these cannons fire for the first time, they will definitely give your enemies a big shock." Raymond's thoughts at this time  He was entirely focused on the upcoming battle, so he didn't really care.  But as Saul said, he is also looking forward to the first appearance of these cannons.  Because he has pinned a large part of his hopes of victory on them.  Wait, Leonard, I will teach you a lesson!  "Lord Raymond, are those things really useful?" At this time, Bryce came over and asked.  As Kellan¡¯s most trusted subordinate in the past, Bryce now deserves to be Gaspard¡¯s top military commander.  But he is also one of the most skeptical of cannons.  ?Bryce is a very orthodox warrior, first-class in both bravery and strategy, but because of this.  He also has great respect for traditional fighting methodsor is superstitious.  Therefore, when he learned that Raymond pinned his hopes of defeating Leonard on these iron cylinders, Bryce felt very incomprehensible.  And Bryce¡¯s thoughts also represent the views of a large number of people in Headington and Gaspard¡¯s army.  Many people even said privately that Raymond had lost hope of winning.  Only then would they place their chances of victory on these magical things.  But this can¡¯t be blamed on him. Bryce has been fighting outside, and Raymond kept it strictly secret. He didn¡¯t know how powerful this new weapon was.  After the cannon arrived at the Seal of the Giants, Thor suggested a test firing, but Raymond rejected it.  Because the war is imminent, there must be Leonard's spy here, and Raymond hopes to let Leonard know his trump card at the last moment.  During the casting of the cannon, under the auspices of Thor.  The first batch of gunners with dwarves as the core have been urgently trained.  ¡°For some reason, dwarves seem to be naturally good at this kind of thing. After only a short period of training, many dwarves have mastered basic artillery skills.  Many dwarves have used their engineering knowledge to simply calculate the range and impact point of cannonballs, greatly improving accuracy.  This is one of the reasons why Raymond is so confident.  Watching the cannon doing the final debugging work, Raymond said to Bryce: "This is all up to you. You must complete all the preparations within a week. The refugees must also be evacuated outside the Seal of the Giant as soon as possible. To avoid  It will drag down the battle." "I have to go to Aulat City immediately." "Don't worry." Bryce nodded and said, "I will take care of the work of the Giant's Seal.  After that, Raymond immediately set off for Aulat City.  All the way.  Migration waves can be seen everywhere.  The people supported the old and the young, pushing small carts filled with belongings, or driving carriages through the crowd. The roars of men, the plaintive cries of women, or the noises of children merged into one, full of tragic emotions.  atmosphere.  This is the sacrifice that the people of Gaspard made to defend their country.  And they couldn't bear the second time.  If this battle fails, let alone whether Raymond still has the ability to fight back, these exhausted and complaining people will not give him a second chance.  With mixed emotions.  Raymond and his party rushed to Aulat City.  Different from the great migration outside the city, another debate was going on in the palace at this time.  ***************************************************  **************** ¡°I think we should use Aulat City to defend it. With the defensive power of the city wall, as long as there are enough troops, it is impossible for the Dirk Army to invade.  "In the main hall of the palace, an official was speaking loudly.  Maybe it¡¯s because the migration of people across the country during this period has given many people a great stimulus.  Recently, a point of view is gradually spreading in Aulat City.  That is to stop the migration to the east of Aulat City, and concentrate the troops in Aulat City, relying on solid city defenses to resist Dilk's army.  People who hold this view have the following reasons: First, defending the city of Aulat can avoid the relocation of the eastern Gaspard area. This will save the people from suffering a lot compared to the national evacuation, and also avoid more disasters.  Big loss.  In addition, since it is the same defensive battle, the defense level of Aulat City with a history of thousands of years is far higher.Because of the hastily built Giant's Seal Fortress, we are more confident.  In addition, compared with the need to abandon the entire country to defend the Seal of the Giants, the defense in Aulat City only requires the abandonment of land in the western region. This will reduce the loss of Sofia's reputation and make it more acceptable to the people.  There are also many nobles and wealthy citizens who have family properties or manors in the western region. For their own benefit, they do not want to be ravaged by the Dirk army there.  Therefore, due to the intertwining of various reasons, more and more people now hope that Sofia will move the main battlefield to Aulat City to protect the land east of Gaspard.  Since this time, many nobles have begun to take turns to persuade Sophia, although Sophia has always stood firm and stated that she would fully support Raymond's opportunity.  But she couldn't completely ignore these people's opinions, so she was under a lot of pressure.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
