Chapter 37: Visitors who oppress all living beings (Part 1)
"...Let me go! You damn bandits! Who are you?"
"...And that magician over there! He actually associates with thieves. Where is the honor of being a magician? Aren't you ashamed?"
"...You reckless bandits! Do you know who you have offended?"
"...It's not too late for you to kneel down and apologize! Otherwise, the Knights of the Rose and the Marquis de Basesti's family will never let you go!"
On the eastern border of the Earl of Formar's territory, beside the Appia Avenue east of Italica, a dozen unlucky guys who were tied up were lying in random places. The mounts that once belonged to them were tied to the trees on the other side of the avenue, and The cavalry lances, daggers, and flags were scattered all over the place.
Obviously, these unfortunate riders have now been robbed and kidnapped by unknown forces.
It is worth noting that unlike ordinary knight teams, more than half of this small team that became prisoners were women!
From the perspective of the kidnapped Marquis Portsais Go Baresti of the Yellow Rose Squadron of the Knights of the Rose, this was really a sudden disaster.
As a pampered aristocratic lady, Portsais has never experienced any hardships since she was a child. Although he joined the Knights of the Rose a few years ago, from the point of view of the imperial aristocracy, this is just a group game for children and a decoration of the imperial palace, a game force that is farthest from actual combat. Therefore, the training intensity is naturally incomparable to that of a real legion. At best, it is at the level of a school football team.
Even though the Knights of the Rose were ordered to mobilize their entire army this time, they left the imperial capital for the first time since they formed an army and escorted 30,000 demi-human refugees across the Romanian mountains to the city of Italica. Because there were many attendants taking careful care of her along the way, and her family's chef accompanying her to take care of the food and drinks. From the perspective of Miss Portes, who was enjoying all this and appreciating the various novel scenery along the way, it was just like an interesting hiking outing. almost.
Of course, after entering the city of Italica, the Knights of the Rose were dispatched several times to eliminate the banditry that had sprung up in the nearby areas. This was considered the first battle of this group of young ladies. However, although it looks like a showpiece, as the descendants of the top wealthy families in the empire, the Knights of the Rose are still equipped with the strongest and most sophisticated armors, the best and most powerful horses, and the sharpest and high-quality swords, and have received a certain degree of military training. . In addition, even though the young masters and eldest ladies of the Knights of the Rose are all rookies, among the attendants assigned to them by the family, there are many veterans with sword-tips licking blood... Let such a group of people go head-to-head with other knights. ,perhaps They may not be strong enough, but in the endless open plains, if they are to deal with a few groups of down-and-out thieves armed only with pitchforks, sickles, and wooden spears, and if they only seek to disperse rather than annihilate, they can be said to be easily captured and invincible.
After several "consecutive victories" like this, Miss Portsais became more and more arrogant, thinking that the war was nothing more than that and that there was nothing difficult about it.
But...why did this happen to me suddenly?
——Although she was still sternly scolding the kidnapper in front of her, Miss Portsais had already started wailing in her heart.
Just in the past few days, a rumor has appeared in the market of Italica, saying that the flood that came from the "gate" on the top of Arnus Hill has receded at some point. Then, the Senate messenger who flew over in a pterosaur from across the Romanian mountains also confirmed the above statement - if the sudden subsidence of the floods had not caught people off guard, the imperial capital city of Urabianca would not have been so easily captured by the rebels.
For this reason, Princess Pinna ordered a reconnaissance team to be quickly organized to investigate the disaster area in the east that was originally flooded.
Logically speaking, it would be most expeditious and appropriate to leave such a long-distance reconnaissance mission to the Imperial Dragon Knights riding aerial pterosaurs. However, neither the Earl of Formar nor Princess Pinna's Rose Knights have domesticated expensive pterosaurs - these are carnivorous animals, and the cost of raising them is naturally much higher than that of war horses. And in order to maintain such intense sports as manned flight, pterosaurs have a huge appetite once they fly. Coupled with various miscellaneous expenses, the cost of raising a military pterosaur is equivalent to a full three hundred infantrymen or at least fifty Famous cavalry, even noble lords who own large areas of land, except for a few of the richest and most show-off ones, can never afford to raise pterosaurs. As for the Senate messenger riding a pterosaur to deliver the mail, Princess Pinna couldn't command her... In the end, this reconnaissance mission was assigned to the shoulders of Miss Portes, the leader of Huang Qiangwei's squadron.
Therefore, Miss Portes took two female knights and twelve mounted attendants and set out from the city of Italica yesterday morning along the Appian Way to the east near the Arnus Hill to conduct reconnaissance. The floods subsided... As a result, when they were running eastward along the deserted Appian Avenue to the area that was once flooded, they were suddenly ambushed by an unknown person! !
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In fact, Miss Portsais had no idea what happened to her at that time, but she suddenly felt her eyes go dark. Then he fainted. When she woke up again, she found herself tied up and thrown to the ground. There were burning pains in several places all over her body. Judging from experience, they were probably bruises when she fell off the horse... She struggled again. Looking around, Miss Portes found that the people who had followed her out were all the same as herself, tied tightly with ropes and thrown to the ground. Some were intact, some had bruises and swollen faces, but in the end there was no one. few. In addition, all the women's clothes were still intact and they seemed not to have been violated, which made Portsais feel relieved.
Then, she found the kidnappers on the grass not far away - they were a group of... how should I say? Feeling weird people. Among them were magicians in robes (Lelei) and knights in armor (Levi), but most of them were guys in strange green clothes: at first glance, the Marquis thought they were a group of people wearing shabby clothes. He was a sloppy poor man in rags, but when he took a closer look, he found that this was definitely not some rags. Instead, the fabric was deliberately dyed in a mess, and many other color patches were added to the gray-green background... …what a strange aesthetic.
At this moment, some of these "green kidnappers" were feeding the horses, some were cooking food in small pots, but for some reason they did not see the smoke (smokeless stove), and some were surrounding a roof The metal box with a long forked pole (antenna) stuck on it was busy, and I don't know what it was tinkering with.
What shocked and even horrified Miss Marquis Portsais was a young man wearing a blue tights, red underwear, and a red cape trailing behind his back... Of course, none of the above is the point, the point is The thing is that this man wearing underwear, although dressed like a clown, is not standing on the ground with his feet, but is holding his arms and floating in the sky above her head!
——This is obviously a human being, not a winged man or a harpy! How did he fly into the sky?
Is it magic? But I haven’t heard of any magicians who can fly? Could it be that he is a saintly sub-god who serves a certain god?
Looking up at the "weirdo" floating above her head, Miss Marquis Portsais, who claimed to be well-informed, couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt and horror.
Despite this, after taking a breather, Miss Portsais still mustered up the courage, her eyes widened with anger, and she cursed these strange "green kidnappers" in front of her, while the other two woke up at about the same time. The captured female knight also joined in the scolding.
However, their yelling and cursing did not seem to anger the "green kidnappers". Some of them just looked back and continued to busy themselves with the things at hand. Others who had nothing to do gathered around to watch, curiously looking at the beautiful female knights who were tightly tied up, and talking about them - as for the remaining male attendants who were also tied up, they were covered by these green Yiren ignored it intentionally or unintentionally.
"...It took a whole night before I finally woke up. It was really annoying! We have obviously adjusted the dose of the anesthesia gun to the minimum!"
"...What's so weird about this? These tranquilizer guns I got from Doraemon were originally used to kill lions and rhinos!"
"...So, once the anesthetic bomb used to kill rhinos is used on humans, the anesthetic effect will be a bit excessive...right?"
"...More or less, thank God that this young lady can wake up now...Fortunately, nothing happened in the end."
"...What a blessing. This is the first time I have seen a young lady with golden straight spiral curls! It would be such a pity to die like this!"
"...Yes, this is also the first time I have seen real golden straight spiral curls. I originally thought this thing only existed in comics!"
"...Except for this blond lady, the other beauties in men's clothing are also very beautiful. There should be no plastic surgery in this world, right?"
"...Plastic surgery? This...I don't think it's possible..."
"...In other words, these are all real green and natural beauties? Tsk tsk..."
(Just in case, everyone who participated in the operation has eaten [Translation Konjac Jelly] and can communicate with the natives of other worlds within 24 hours.)
……
Listening to these vulgar and rude "green-robed kidnappers" talking so brazenly about the hair and appearance of this noble lady, Miss Portsais couldn't help but become more and more embarrassed, and even blushed, and was about to continue to speak angrily. scold.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the man in blue tights who had been hovering above her head and looking around suddenly landed, and at the same time waved his hands to repel the onlookers, "...What are you all doing here? Have you got nothing to do?" I saw it just now, the air force is coming soon! Why not hurry up and pack your luggage and prepare flares, and put away the ground navigation equipment..."
"...Yes! Comrade Captain Wang Qiu!" The soldiers in camouflage uniforms quickly saluted, turned around and dispersed.
Wang Qiu, who was wearing a [Superman Suit], slowly walked towards the identity of Miss Portsais and the two female knights. He looked at it for a while, then gently grabbed Portsais and lifted him up. He stood up, stretched his hand towards the void, and took out a folding chair from his storage space. After arranging it, he put Posais on the chair, "...Okay, Miss from the Empire, please ask me Let me introduce you!”
"...Hmph! Isn't it polite to state your identity before asking a lady? Who are you?"
Although she was surprised by the strange ability of this man in tight clothes, Miss Marquis still tried her best to put on an expression of arrogance and disdain.
"...Hmm - Miss, you are really brave! Or should I describe it as tsundere?"
Wang Qiu took a closer look at this seemingly noble female knight again. The more she looked at it, the more eye-catching she became - the luxurious golden curly hair reached her waist, reflecting metallic light. At the drooping ends of her hair, even formed like croissants Like a "French roll"; the slender neck, snow-white skin and delicate facial features are combined together, like a living statue of an ancient Greek goddess; and the pair of abnormally well-developed fat globules on the chest are even more bulging. Not even hard armor can hide it. Coupled with the huge bow tied on the top of her head and the various dazzling jewelry she wears, she really looks like the heroic daughter of a Western aristocrat in Japanese girl comics.
The two female knights who were knocked down and captured with her, as well as six female attendants on horseback, were also very good-looking, seductive and criminal beauties or girls... If it weren't for the current situation, it would be really wrong, and Wang Qiu's self-control has improved a lot after being trained in the past few years. Now he may not be able to suppress the impulse in his heart, and wants to strip them naked and then hang them up to play the discordant game of "Female Knight No Misfortune"!
Of course, although it is no longer common to feel weak in the legs when seeing a beautiful woman, beauties are always entitled to a certain degree of preferential treatment - so Wang Qiu hesitated for a moment and decided to directly reveal his identity, "...for you, We should be regarded as people from another world from another world..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"...Huh? What did you say? People from another world? What a joke!"
At the beginning, Miss Portsais, who was extremely depressed, obviously did not take Wang Qiu's words seriously at all, and immediately shouted angrily: "...you damn guy, you are teasing us. A different world or something? A different world!"
Suddenly, Miss Portsais seemed to suddenly think of something, and the yelling in her mouth stopped abruptly. Then she turned her head and looked to the east in surprise - behind the end of the horizon in that direction was the 100,000-strong Imperial Expeditionary Force. burial place, and the source of the recent great flood. Head, the Holy Land of Arnus Hill where the "Gate" to other worlds is located... "...could it be that... you really came from behind the 'Gate'? Is it the one on top of Arnus Hill?" After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and asked Wang Qiu in a low voice.
At the same time, the attendants and female knights who were tied up and thrown to the ground were stunned when they heard this, and their expressions changed slightly...
"...Yes, we came from behind the space-time gate on the top of Arnus Hill..."
Wang Qiu nodded, "...to introduce myself briefly, my name is Wang Qiu, and my position is the commander of this reconnaissance operation..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a female knight lying on the ground, gritting her teeth, "... Damn it! It was you people who released a great flood from another world and drowned thousands of people. Thousands of citizens of the empire? You devils!”
"...Miss, are you so eager to confuse right and wrong? It's obviously you who need to apologize and make amends! Don't treat us as fools, we know everything! It's obviously you who activated Arnus Hill The space-time gate at the top wanted to invade and plunder our world, but it was just bad luck that it opened the 'door' into the sea, which caused a huge flood - it was clearly a disaster that was brought upon ourselves..."
Wang Qiu rolled his eyes, "...and an important seaport in our country has been paralyzed because of the stupid things you did..."
"...Shut up! You guys! When I am talking to others, you are absolutely not allowed to interrupt! Otherwise, military law will be engaged!"
Miss Marquis Posais, who finally regained consciousness, quickly stopped her subordinates from making unreasonable troubles, then put on a look as respectful as possible, and said to Wang Qiu, "...I understand, I was impulsive just now and did something. I'm sorry, I apologize to you. Please be patient. Forgive me, don’t be offended... My full name is Portsais Go Baresti, she is the second daughter of the Imperial Marquis Baresti family, and the former captain of the Princess Regent’s personal guard, the Yellow Rose Squadron of the Knights of the Rose. I wonder what your mission is for bringing people here?”
Wang Qiu glanced at the eldest lady who was occupying the front and the back with great interest, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "...Is there any need to ask? Naturally, I came to visit the ruler of your country, or At least someone who can speak at the top of the country, talk about the aftermath of the Arnus Hill Gate... For example, your boss and benefactor, Her Royal Highness the Princess who is staying in Italica City, It’s just a good choice...”
"...In this case, could you please let me and my subordinates go, and let us go to the city to report to Her Royal Highness the Princess first to avoid misunderstanding?"
Portsais winked at his subordinates and continued, "...This way we can arrange a welcome ceremony that suits your status..."
"...Haha, why are you so polite? This place is not far from the city of Italica. Miss Posais might as well get on the boat with us and go together!"
Noticing that several People's Liberation Army soldiers had fired red flares into the air, Wang Qiu announced proudly.
"...Get on the boat? This place is neither close to the sea nor even a river. Where can we get a boat?"
Miss Marquis Portsais asked in confusion - because her whole body was still tied tightly, and she was sitting on a folding chair with a backrest, due to the limited viewing angle, she was not aware of the abnormality above her head at this moment. At the same time, her dozen subordinates who were tied up and lying on their backs were already looking at the large number of man-made objects in the sky that could be said to cover the sky. They were so shocked that they could not even speak. came out.
"...Of course it's a ship in the sky! I wonder if Miss Portes has any experience riding a pterosaur? It seems that there is only one kind of air transportation in your area... In short, welcome to my flagship' Lucky number'! Miss Possess, I hope you're not afraid of heights?"
Wang Qiu, who was wearing a [Superman Suit], said with a smile. At the same time, he hugged Miss Marquis Portsais as she screamed, then jumped into the air and flew towards the largest man-made object in the sky. "...I believe there will be an amazing journey ahead..."
Next, some People's Liberation Army soldiers who were on the ground also inserted [Bamboo Dragonflies] above their heads, and used rope nets to hang various equipment, as well as the prisoners who were shaking and peeing because of the sudden rise to the sky, and then flew up to the suspension The "air fleet" overhead... and Levi, the French paladin in parallel time and space, led the remaining half of the manpower and continued to stand by, preparing to follow the belated arrival of the ground troops. ——When such a group of visitors who oppress all living beings have appeared on the horizon, everyone in Italica is still unaware...
