Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 458
Compared with the three great empires or the ocean powers, the Holy See's sea power is not strong.

The development of the Holy See's power has always been limited to the land, and it has not expended much energy to develop towards the ocean. After all, although there are many islands in the ocean, not many of them are inhabited. Except for the British Isles, which are close to the mainland, most of the other islands have only The number of natives or hidden pirates often does not exceed [-].

It is not easy to subdue these people. The natives are primitive and ignorant, they cannot understand the language, and the pirates are hiding in Tibet. They are extremely vicious, and they are not suitable targets for preaching.Instead of spending a lot of money to form a fleet island by island to search for these native pirates, educate them, and convert them, it is better to spend resources on other places that are more needed.

Although the Christian Martial God Sect is the number one martial arts sect in the world, after all, the family has a big business, and there are still many places to spend money, so you can't just waste money and do something meaningless.

But even so, it doesn't mean that the Holy See has nothing to do with provocations on the ocean. The only difference is whether they are willing to do it or not.

But this time, it was obvious that the Holy See had already made up its mind, and wanted to strike hard, and use revenge to establish a prestige at sea.

In just a few days, the Holy See's team arrived in Gijon, Spain. The port outside Gijon is one of the largest ports in Spain and is now the home of the Spanish Royal Fleet.

Four years ago, the Spanish Armada fought against the werewolf powerhouse in Beiyang, and they were defeated. In the end, none of the ten escaped. It can be said that this Spanish King Philip II worked so hard to build the best in the world. In an instant, the fleet existed in name only.

But after all, that voyage was requested by the Holy See and contributed to the Holy See. Under the mediation of Patriarch Trigo, the Holy See borne most of the loss. In recent years, the Holy See has given Spain a large amount of money, resources, and manpower. Support allowed Spain to re-establish the navy.

Although the newly-built Spanish Royal Fleet is not as good as the original Armada, it is still considered the first echelon among several coastal powers, and it is not inferior to the Royal Fleet of such a great empire as England and France.

But now, more than 100 warships of various types from the Spanish Royal Fleet are all safely parked in the Port of Gijon, and none of them set sail.

Standing on the edge of the port and looking forward, there are all tall ships like city walls, and straight masts towering like forests. The army is mighty, and it looks like a mobile ship that can walk at any time. The land is average.

Not many people came from the Holy See, roughly no more than twenty people, but the aura exuded by these twenty people was extremely powerful, no less than an army of tens of thousands of people.

The vast majority of the team are knights wearing heavy armor. Their weapons are different. There are two-handed swords, shields and swords, and iron bows and quivers. A golden cross is cast on their armor, which shows that They are symbols of the Holy See's force: members of the Knights Templar!

There were three leaders in the team, and the front one was a middle-aged man in a red gold-rimmed robe. He didn't look strong, and his figure was a little thin. His eyes were sunken, but his eyes were very bright.It is the last seat of the College of Cardinals, the fourth cardinal, St. Mark!
On his left, there is a slightly short but extremely strong man with a beard. He is also wearing a set of heavy Templar armor, but his armor looks older, and there are still some knives and axes left on it. The slashing scars were even slightly deformed in some places, and it looked like a set of battle-baptized armor.And his weapon is also very strange, not some offensive weapons such as swords, but a huge iron shield. Carried on his back, it was like a wall covering his whole body.

On the right of the Cardinal, there is a person wearing a black robe, a black hood, and black gloves. The whole body is tightly wrapped, and only one face is exposed. It is an old woman who looks about 50 or [-] years old.She is also thin, but she stands upright, with a very serious face, tight lips, thin cheeks, sharp eyes, with an indescribably cold and murderous aura, as if the surrounding temperature has dropped by three point.There was also a small silver cross hanging around her neck, hanging on her chest, and she was gently pinching it with her right hand.

Seeing the arrival of the Holy See's team, a few people got off a huge battleship by the port immediately, and the leader was the commander of the Spanish Royal Navy, General Bazin.Immediately behind him was an elderly knight wearing a simple armor and holding a long lance. He looked over 50 years old and looked old. There was not much brilliance in his eyes, only The lance in his hand was held tightly by him, standing upright, motionless.

"My lords, the fleet is fully ready! All the supplies have been shipped onto the ship, and the soldiers and sailors are all in place, ready to go at any time!" General Bazin saluted the fourth cardinal and the team behind him. , said respectfully.

"Oh? Prepared so quickly? Your Majesty the king didn't say anything about our requisition of the fleet?" the fourth cardinal asked with a smile.

"Everyone knows that His Majesty has a profound friendship with Patriarch Trigo, and they are very close in both official cooperation and personal friendship. This time, Patriarch Trigo was killed in a surprise attack, and our Majesty is also heartbroken. , and even cried a lot. His Majesty has issued an order that the entire Royal Fleet will be handed over to the Holy See for use and command, just to find that villain and kill him!" General Bazin said quickly: "Even if there is No loss will be spared!"

"It's good that he has this kind of heart!" After a sigh of emotion, the fourth cardinal gave an order: "Then stop talking nonsense, let's go directly, and tell me the details of the last time by the way! Let us Find that damned monster ship."

But General Bazin did not move, but moved a step away, revealing the person behind him, and introduced: "This is Lord Don Quixote, the Knight of Illusion, my Spanish protector of the country! This is Mr. Columbus, They are the most outstanding navigators in Spain, His Majesty sent them here, hoping to help them."

Glancing at the old knight who looked very down and out, His Excellency the Fourth Cardinal waved his hand: "Mr. Don Quixote is unnecessary, stay and protect Spain just in case, just take this Mr. Navigator with you .”

After all, he led the people towards the port pier.

Hearing that he was rejected, the old knight didn't say anything, he just turned his body sideways and got out of the way.

The Holy See and his party did not stop, and followed General Bazin directly onto the largest warship. In less than half an hour, thousands of sails sailed from the port, and the huge Spanish Royal Fleet set sail one after another. In the afterglow of the setting sun, they sailed to the horizon. Wire.

Looking at the fleet going away, the white-haired old knight sighed, jumped up, flew into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
