[The Chronicles of Narnia] Sin
Chapter 5
In the safest royal warship in the center of the Calormene Fleet, sat a young man in his 20s with red hair and blue eyes, and a gorgeous silver robe.He was one of the many contenders for the throne of Utus, the fourth prince of Calormene, the future Tithroc (may he live forever).
The fleet had been approaching the coast of Narnia for a quarter of an hour, but it still failed to land.Hearing the chaotic roar and howling wind outside the cabin, Youtus finally couldn't hold back his restless nerves and rushed out of the cabin door.
"Why haven't we landed yet, General Alva?" He asked the middle-aged man on the deck who was too busy.
"Didn't you say that Narnia's coastal defenses are vulnerable, and that the number of warships is only a fraction of ours?"
Admiral Alvar nodded again and again: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I was careless. They seem to have been prepared for a long time, and the deployment of troops was very timely..."
Youtusi's rather handsome face was twisted into a hideous expression by anger: "Don't we still have more than half of our ships and troops intact? Now, I order you! Land immediately!"
While bearing the unprovoked anger of the supreme Calormene royal family, Alva kept thinking.If the Narnians had been prepared, rushing ashore would be tantamount to giving up their most precious maritime advantage.He knew very well that the thousands of talking beast soldiers who were ready to move in the land of Narnia should not be underestimated.In terms of land warfare, the Calormenes are not necessarily the opponents of the Narnia army.
"Your Majesty, we have sunk two warships of the Narnians, and half of the archers have been killed or wounded. If we insist on a protracted war on the sea, we may be able to threaten Narnia to sign a treaty that is beneficial to us—"
"Slap." Before he could finish his sentence, he was slapped loudly by the prince.
"What do I want is a profit-making treaty?" Utus's voice was as sharp as tearing, "What I want is the land of Narnia, Tithrock's appreciation! Can't swallow a piece of Narnia, you let me What are you using to compete with those dog brothers?!"
Alva wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his hand, and walked to the bow of the ship with heavy steps: "Listen to the prince's order, abandon the damaged ship, and land quickly!"
Hundreds of roaring Calormene soldiers jumped off the few ships that basically landed.Facing the slightly sparse arrow rain, they climbed onto the blood-red beach stepping on water splashes and corpses.Immediately afterwards, seven or eight ships followed, and Susan's archers were overwhelmed, and the hill where they were located was surrounded by Calormene soldiers.
Edmund never imagined that the Calormenes would have the courage to quickly throw themselves into the land battle and abandon their pawns to save the commander.He originally wanted to use a dangerous move to force the enemy back, but the opponent was not vigilant at all and insisted on confronting him head-on.In this way, the efforts of the mermaid clan will be in vain, and the original battle plan can only be completely overthrown.
The incident happened suddenly, and all the troops that could be mobilized had been used. The infantry and cavalry stationed north of Cair Paravel could not arrive in time. This is why he insisted on destroying the enemy on the water—once the Calormenes When they landed, they would find that the defenses in the Clearwater Bay area of Narnia were extremely empty, and breaking through would be inevitable.
Peter will kill me, Edmund thought desperately.Nobody could afford to lose an inch of Narnia.
"Helmsman!" He called to the goat soldiers occupying the enemy ship, and hurriedly ordered, "Stop the rest of the enemy ships from docking at full speed, bumping them, blocking them, whatever!"
The heroic queen Lucy shot the last short arrow in her hand, and suddenly saw a dark ship coming from the east coast.The small dots moved from far to near, and the girl finally saw clearly that the red Archenland flag was flying on the top of the mast.
"Archenland's reinforcements!" she roared joyfully.
Edmund looked back in the blood, and happened to see the heroic girl standing in the Archenland Navy fleet.An inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in my heart for a second, and was immediately squeezed and annihilated by the urgent battle.
"For Narnia! For Justice!" Amidst the shouts that shook the sky, the land and water forces of the three countries fought together.
Edith experienced many sea battles in the heat/weapon age when she was a child; but facing the cold/weapon battle in the golden age for the first time, she was a little strange and nervous.No torpedoes, no guns, just pure chivalrous dueling.
The No. 002 warship she was on quickly approached a Calormene ship, and dozens of naval soldiers jumped onto the opposite deck one after another, raising their shields in unison, forming an impenetrable formation.
During the fight, she vaguely saw a curly short black hair in the crowd.The young man and Admiral Archenland next to him shouted something, and then walked like flying, jumped among the crowded boats, and ran towards the coast.
The balance of war gradually tilted to the side of justice.Most of the remaining Calormene soldiers have been subdued, and only the elite troops that broke out to the land in the early stage are entrenched on the southwest hills.
The gloomy and heavy horn sounded quickly, followed by a roar that broke the sky: "Everyone stop!"
The voice came from the Calormenes on the hill.In his hand, he held Queen Susan's horn.
"Stop, or I'll kill her right away!"
The soldiers of Narnia suddenly fell silent.
The dagger in Edith's hand was hovering in the air, and she saw the ferocious Calormene man pointing the sword at the neck of a magnificent woman.
Without much thought, Edith could guess that it was the Gentle Queen of Narnia who had been kidnapped. ——Her archery team was not good at melee combat, and was completely surrounded by the Calormenes.
"Susan!" Lucy screamed in the crowd, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
On the beach, the bloody King Justice clenched his teeth, his jaw joints almost shattered.
The defeated queen's hands were bound, and a sharp and unparalleled dagger hung on her snow-white neck.She had a calm face, but there was an angry sneer faintly at the corner of her mouth.
"Beautiful!" A red-haired man walked out of the center surrounded by many ships, clapping his hands.
Youtusi thought his puns were brilliant, but there seemed to be no one around to support him.He took a step forward with some dissatisfaction, but still ensured that he was in a position tightly surrounded by the royal guard.
"I'm not an unreasonable person," he said with a smile, "How much gold and land is worth for your beautiful sister Wang, the respected His Majesty the Justice King can't figure it out, right?"
This sentence was directly addressed to Edmund - among all the people present, he was the one with the most right to speak.
Edmund wanted to hurl his sword at that hideous face, preferably through his chattering tongue.But after all, I thought, the most important thing to do at this moment is to find a way to break the deadlock of hijacking.
Calormen is a cornered beast, and there must be a weakness.
"The way you proposed to my sister Wang is really unique." His brown eyes looked at Youtusi coldly.
The fourth prince laughed loudly, but his smile quickly subsided: "You are so humorous, but I believe you will not understand what I mean, Your Majesty. With the Telma River-Stone Table as the boundary, I want the south of this line All the lands of Narnia."
"Oh, of course, that's not enough." He paused, "It's better to add an unconditional trade agreement. Narnia can't afford two things, can it?"
There were at last many angry swearing from among the silent army of Narnia.
The blood in Edmund's head was surging, and he wanted to rush to the ship and smash the coward who was hiding behind the soldier's wall, but on the surface, he was still trying his best to maintain the demeanor of the king: "I think Calormen is so big. The Southern Kingdom should not use such a despicable trick as hijacking."
"——If your prince dares to fight me and defeat this king himself, I will definitely give these things to you without any complaints."
This is the first step in breaking down the wall of human flesh of the cowardly prince.Justice King's strategy is gradually taking shape.
He did not expect the Calormenes to keep their word.By doing this, he was trying his best to create an opportunity for the goat general who sneaked up to the side of the royal ship, intending to assassinate the prince.
"Okay, please come into the boat." Youtusi smiled brighter and brighter.
On the hill, Susan's beautiful eyebrows were frowned, not knowing what plan Edmund had in mind.The duel could have been held in a more honorable place, and she wondered why her brother would agree to go aboard alone.However, what she was sure of was that she had skillfully broken free the rope that bound her hands.She only needs to wait for an opportunity to distract the fat man, and she may escape unscathed.
Under everyone's gaze, Edmund stepped onto the deck step by step.The chilling aura of the cold-faced king successfully opened a gap in the phalanx of Calormene soldiers.
He held the hilt of the sword and slowly drew out the cold light.
It's now.
Youtusi laughed strangely, and suddenly smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.With the crisp shattering of the cup, all the soldiers of Calormene fired their crossbows at the surrounded Justice King!
But at the same time, a swift black shadow suddenly descended from the sky behind the fourth prince, cutting the man's throat like a superficial knife.
Youtus fell straight forward with his eyes wide open, while Edmund quickly resisted his body, turned around, and used the prince as a human shield to resist all arrows!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the strong man on the hill regained his senses when his weapon was snatched away by the queen who untied her hands.The soft-hearted Susan couldn't bear to take his life, so she only stabbed him in the stomach, then quickly picked up the horn that fell on the ground, and broke out with the few archers who had just been bound.
The Faun, who had been waiting for the assassination by the Narnia army just now, saw this change, and immediately led his men aboard the ship, and joined forces with the Calormene royal guards.
The Calormenes were suddenly leaderless, and they rushed to the cockpit one after another, thinking only of saving their own lives, trying to evacuate at the helm.Only then did they realize that the bottom of the wooden boat had already been pierced by the mermaid halberd, and they lost the ability to go to sea.
completely annihilated.This is the irreversible result of the Calormene campaign.
Edmund and the soldiers who succeeded in the assassination were besieged by the Calormenes for a long time, and gradually became exhausted.The two of them were scattered by the shadow of swords and swords, and their bodies were covered with scars.The soldier was none other than Edith who had just climbed onto the mast of the ship during the negotiation between the two countries, waiting for the chance to assassinate her.
An arrow feather suddenly came from behind.Edith had no time to look in all directions, she was hit by an arrow in her right shoulder, and her arm suddenly became weak.Later, she was stabbed by a soldier who was rushing towards her, and fell unconscious to the ground.
The fleet had been approaching the coast of Narnia for a quarter of an hour, but it still failed to land.Hearing the chaotic roar and howling wind outside the cabin, Youtus finally couldn't hold back his restless nerves and rushed out of the cabin door.
