Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Although for Salazar Knox, Captain Howson's pronunciation was somewhat different from the spoken language he was familiar with. A small part of the words in the speech had never even been heard before, but he still understood it. Understand the meaning of the captain in front of me.

What saved him was a ship belonging to the Idar Navy.

But the problem is...

Is Idar the name of a city-state? Is there a city-state with this name on this continent?

Captain Howson's words made Salazar Knox feel a little confused.

Although he has been living on the west coast of the continent since his birth, he has long heard about the few powerful city-states on this continent.

But the name "Idar" made Salazar Knox feel extremely strange.

If you want to own a ship, the first requirement is to be close to the coast.

But how easy is it to fight against mutants while still having room to build ships?

What's more, Captain Howson mentioned a word in his words - fleet, which means that this so-called Idar Navy is by no means just the ship in front of him.

At least according to Salazar Knox's knowledge, a force that can own such a large-scale ship will definitely not be an ordinary person. At least... it should be a powerful city-state with a population of hundreds of thousands. !

But this city-state named "Idar" has never been famous in this land?

Although Salazar Knox's head still often felt a throbbing pain at this time, it did not hinder his ability to think independently, so... he almost wanted to rack his brains to think in his memory. , the name was found.

only……

His approach was destined to be in vain. After pondering for a while, he still couldn't think of any information that could be related to Idar...

It's like, it came out of nowhere.

and,

Salazar Knox knew what a captain was, but... what was a colonel? Is it an official position similar to a general or a guardian?

For him, although he could understand most of Captain Howson's words, if he connected these words, Salazar Knox was still a little confused and couldn't figure it out.

While Salazar Knox was busy in a daze, Captain Howson was also sizing up the drowning man in front of him who had just woken up from a coma.

In fact, Captain Howson had already seen Salazar Knox's attire and rummaged through the items he carried with him when he rescued the man.

how to say?

The clothes are very simple and the weapons are very primitive.

The clothes on Salazar Knox were not much different from those of the most humble serfs in Idar before Bruno came to power.

This can no longer be said to be putting patches on clothes, but using many patches to piece together a piece of clothing that barely fits.

As for weapons...

If there were any large weapons, they would have been washed away by the sea when he fell into the water. The Idar soldiers only found a dagger tied to his calf with vines on his body.

And this dagger is even made of animal bones!

Coupled with the sallow complexion, skinny figure, and signs of severe malnutrition diagnosed by the military doctor, it is obvious that the life of the drowning man in front of him must be quite miserable.

But……

What surprised everyone present was that he actually carried a waist badge made of fine mithril.

The material of mithril is different from that of ordinary gold and silver. Although most of its physical properties are exactly the same as those of silver, it can play a more important role in the hands of the Idar people. It is also an extremely important material in this world. Important mineral deposits.

If this waistband were sold in the Principality of Idar, the price could reach at least dozens of gold coins!

And this made Captain Howson a little confused.

Call him poor, but he is not completely poor. The waist card alone is very valuable.

But it is absolutely impossible to say that he is living a good life, because whether it is from the clothes or the sallow complexion, the civilians of the Idar Principality look much better than him.

so……

After dealing with those ugly monsters on land, Captain Howson has only one priority at the moment.

Whether it is through persuading people with reason or through spiritual influence, he must pry open the mouth of the drowned man in front of him to understand everything about this land and let the Idar people understand this land on the other side of the ocean. Land, with a comprehensive and systematic understanding.

Soon, under the gaze of Captain Howson, the man who fell into the water finally spoke:

"Dear Captain, I sincerely thank you for your rescue."

"I am Salazar Knox, the city-state defender of Padilla, a native of the west coast, the unyielding attacker and the storm-born Knox family, from Padilla on the west coast."

Captain Howson:? ? ?

adjutant:? ? ?

The accompanying Idar soldiers:? ? ?

Captain Howson was surprised and happy to hear what this guy with a long name said.

The good thing is that he can speak human language, uh, no, anyway, it means that he speaks the same language as the Idar people, at least he can communicate smoothly.

Surprisingly, what he said was a bit long and hard to understand.

Just now……

How many people did he name? Three? Or four?

So what is the name of the man who fell into the water in front of me? A storm is born? Or a relentless attacker? Or is it called some other nonsense?

Or was it that the sea water earlier destroyed the head of the guy in front of me?

Seemingly seeing Captain Howson seem a little confused, Salazar Knox introduced him again very considerately: "I am the city-state guard of Padilla, an aborigine of the west coast, unyielding..."

"Okay, okay, this Aboriginal defender who never surrendered in the storm, please tell me, how did you fall into the sea?"

Captain Howson was distracted by the tirade of names, and very quickly interrupted Salazar Knox.

"It's the Stormborn, the unyielding attackers and the natives of the West Coast..."

Salazar corrected: "You can call me Salazar Knox, or Salazar, my respected captain. As for the reason for falling into the water..."

Seeing that the captain in front of him took the initiative to ask, Salazar did not hide anything.

From hunting in the forest to jumping into the sea to escape the pursuit of mutants, he talked a lot, with great emotion. Like some online writers who don't wear women's clothing, they don't know the details at all. Slightly appropriate.

"So...those ugly monsters with green faces and fangs, gray backs and black claws, and big eyes on their heads are called mutants, right?"

Captain Howson briefly summarized the useful information he had extracted from these episodes and experiences, and found that a simple sentence could completely sum it up.

Now, it was Salazar Knox's turn to be dumbfounded.

This is not the point!

I have wasted so much talk and made so much preparation and exaggeration, mainly to show my experience of fighting wits and courage against mutant species, and to show my brave and flexible combat ability even though I fell into the water!

But……

The captain in front of him seemed to have never seen mutants before. He was particularly interested in those monsters, giving people an air of having never seen the world.

"Those things...are the things you mentioned with big eyes. Aren't they called mutants?"

Salazar Knox asked rhetorically, feeling that his cognition had been challenged.

You know, mutants are the biggest enemies of humans on this continent, but the captain in front of him seemed like he had never seen mutants before.

This is unreasonable!

Moreover, even this ship has an unusual atmosphere everywhere.

Not to mention anything else, just the standard military uniforms of these soldiers had already made Salazar Knox jealous.

As a member of the Padilla city-state, although it is not considered rich, its area is not large, and its population is not large, but... on this continent, Padilla can already be regarded as a powerful human city-state.

As a defender of the city-state, Salazar Knox is considered good in terms of his family environment and social status.

But even so, compared with the people from Idar city-state in front of him, his clothes can still be said to be in the sky and on the earth.

That's right, although Salazar Knox did not search for any memory of the word "Idar" in his mind, in his subconscious, he had already regarded it as the word "Idar" on this continent. of a city-state.

Because with Salazar Knox's breadth of thinking, he could not think of any other explanation, let alone imagine that there would be other land on the other side of the ocean.

"This is the first time we have encountered this kind of creature, and it is also the first time we have hunted them." Captain Howson said very frankly.

first……

This is actually their first time...

Salazar Knox was a little confused at first, but at this moment, when he heard what Captain Howson said, he was completely stunned.

He didn't even have time to think about hunting "them" mentioned by Captain Hausen. He only heard the word "first time" lingering in his ears over and over again.

It seems like...

Discovered an incredible force?

"Excuse me...where is the Idar city-state you mentioned? Are there no such mutants there?"

After pondering for a moment, Salazar Knox finally couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart.

"No," Captain Howson replied simply.

"hiss……"

Hearing this, Salazar Knox took a breath.

No one can personally understand Salazar's extremely complicated mood at this time.

You know, all humans living on this continent have lived in the shadow of mutants almost since birth.

These creatures seem to have an innate hatred and disgust for humans.

They attack humans from time to time with their powerful strength, forcing the surviving humans to unite together and form city-states and human settlements one after another on this land to jointly resist the threats posed by mutants.

But……

Captain Howson's words really shocked Salazar Knox. A land without mutants would have an attraction to Salazar Knox that nothing could compare to!

And next, Captain Howson did not sell out, after all... If you want Salazar Knox to speak and become your guide to explore this land, then you must first let him understand the power of the Principality of Idar. place!

"We come from the Duchy of Idar, which is located on the other side of the ocean and is a few weeks' sail from this land. The Duchy of Idar is a powerful principality under the rule of the Stuart family and has a population of millions. , is the most powerful principality in that land!"

"And the three-masted warship 'Explorer' you are in now is just the tip of the iceberg of Idar's naval fleet! Follow me..."

As he spoke, under the leadership of Captain Howson, Salazar tremblingly walked out of the cabin for the first time and came to the deck of the Explorer.

For Bruno Stuart, the Duke of Idar, such a three-masted warship can be said to be ordinary, but... that is looking at this warship from the perspective of a time traveler.

Whether they are ordinary Idar people, or nobles, merchants, and civilians of the Norman Empire, everyone who sees this battleship is amazed by its huge size, huge sails, and the powerful firepower equipped on the ship.

There is no need to doubt how huge a shock it can bring to Salazar, an ordinary person living in a foreign continent.

The only boats Salazar had seen since his birth were rafts made of branches and planks, used to fish in rivers and offshore.

so……

Looking at the wide deck in front of him, the two-story-high hull, and the Idar soldiers busy on the deck, for a moment... Salazar was speechless.

He really didn't know what words he should use to describe the behemoth ship that appeared in front of him at this time.

The only thing Salazar could do was to stand there, looking at the Stuart family flag hanging at the top of the mast, and then be in a daze.

Facts are far more convincing than any thin words.

and,

In such a short period of time, this young man who had never left his birthplace suffered too many shocks.

Although young people are more capable of accepting new things, at this moment, whether it is their outlook on life, world view or values, they need a lot of time to reshape.

There is land overseas...

There is a country on land called the Principality of Idar...

Their ships can cross the boundless ocean and reach this land thousands of miles away...

Although Salazar had little knowledge, he was not stupid.

He clearly understood that this meant how powerful the Principality of Idar on the other side of the ocean was!

I am afraid……

Much more powerful than those powerful city-states!

However, there was not much time left for Salazar to sort out his thoughts. This was not because Captain Howson was too lazy to wait, but because...a roar!

That's right, when Captain Howson heard the news that the drowned man had awakened, he couldn't wait to return to the three-masted warship "Explorer". At the same time, the Idar soldiers were also cleaning up the "battlefield" on the coast very efficiently.

Most of the mutants were killed by the Idar soldiers to ensure their death. However, there were two mutants that only had broken legs and had difficulty moving but extremely strong vitality. The Idar soldiers used animal traps to cover them. Live, locked in the animal cage that has been waiting for a long time.

When Salazar came to the deck, the two animal cages were being carried onto the deck in an orderly manner by Idar soldiers, and the mutants locked inside made several humiliating roars from time to time.

"*! @Oab # _%$UImfjvo"

The roar, like a baby crying, brought Salazar back to reality almost instantly.

Such a familiar roar and such a close distance almost made Salazar shudder for a moment. He turned around in horror and looked at the iron cage that was being carried onto the deck.

"How...how could you..." At this time, Salazar couldn't even speak smoothly.

There was no other way. He had just escaped from the claws of the mutants, but he didn't expect that these Idar people from another continent in front of him would directly carry the mutants onto the ship.

Although they were separated by a cage, it still made Salazar's feet feel cold: "You...what are you doing?"

Hearing this, Captain Howson seemed not to see the expression on Salazar's face, and said rather heartlessly:

"We don't have this thing on our continent, so we plan to bring it back to let our experts and scholars from the Principality of Idar open their eyes and do anatomical experiments to find out why this thing looks so ugly."

For a moment, Salazar was speechless: "..."

"In order to catch these two living mutants, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot..." Salazar couldn't help but said with some regret.

To know,

Every year, Salazar's companions die from the fangs of mutants. It is extremely difficult to hunt mutants, let alone capture such living bodies.

Although he didn't understand how the Idar people studied, let alone what dissection meant, the scene in front of him made him realize once again how powerful these Idar people were.

"But it's not easy to catch. In order to catch these two mutants, we lost three animal traps..." On the side, an Idar soldier shook his head regretfully.

"There are also a lot of losses in weapons and ammunition..." another soldier added.

"How many people have died?"

Although he felt that it was a bit impolite to ask, Salazar couldn't help but ask.

"Dead people? How could a dozen beasts cost the elite Idar soldiers their lives?"

Hearing this, UU reads a book www. uukansｈhu.net Captain Hausen replied confidently.

Idar soldiers are equipped with a full set of magic rifles and powerful magic cannons. Coupled with the favorable location and people, under such circumstances, if they face a dozen mutants, they will cause casualties, so Hao How can Captain Sen still have the dignity to show off here?

"No... not a single soldier was lost?"

Hearing this, Salazar fell into deep confusion again.

What kind of monsters are these Idar people in front of me? And how powerful is the Principality of Idar, which they are proud of whenever they mention it?

Salazar could no longer imagine this.

"Salazar Knox."

At this moment, Captain Howson's words interrupted Salazar's thoughts: "I think we need to talk about the land you live in and these mutants that are everywhere."
