Chapter 697 Gretel: Why Should I Get the Medal?

Throughout the ceremony, Grete stood at the edge of the red carpet and watched with interest.

Watching Earl Islett lead the squadron commanders forward quickly and come to the front of the throne;

Watching them perform military salutes in unison and collectively greet the Queen;

Watching the queen put a medal on the earl, she then pulled out her sword and tapped him on the shoulder, naming him a knight of the guard;

Watching Earl Islett stand up and stand on the side of the throne, he reported to the Queen, or rather announced to the guests present, the course of this battle:

"Our fleet set off on October 7 and after two months of sailing, we arrived at Bes Bay..."

Gretel listened quietly for a long time before he realized that this battle involved four fleets setting off separately to perform different tasks.

The two royal fleets sailed straight into the New World, found a place to ambush, and waited quietly; the two parliamentary fleets were divided into two groups to pick up people:

One group went north to the Black Gate Peninsula to meet the barbarians who had been ready to go. After picking up the people, drive directly west to the northern end of the New World, and then go south along the coastline.

The other branch went south to the northern end of the Black Continent to meet the vampires and orcs who were scheduled to meet there. It has to be said that this time the vampires and orcs also spent a lot of money:

All the vampires slept in coffins and were transported by the orcs' small smuggling boats all the way out of the Continental Sea to the northern end of the Black Continent, the exit of the Continental Sea, and the port outside the Tarik Strait. The dangers and hardships involved are difficult to describe in words;

And the large army of the orcs carried dry food on their backs and rode camels across thousands of miles of desert. Only in this way can we avoid the spies of the Glorious Holy See and board the parliament's ocean-going ship without knowing it.

In the end, four fleets, consisting of 150 ships, blocked the returning fleet of the Glorious Holy See near La Habana, the capital of the Storm Islands, in the Gulf of Tarsas.

150 versus 50.

Vampires, orcs, and humans, a total of 4 legends were present.

The two newly launched sailing battleships, the Victory belonging to the royal family and the Humpback Whale belonging to the Magic Council, as well as the alchemy ship Philosopher's Stone, attacked from three sides and besieged the Unicorn, the flagship of the Holy See's escort fleet.

During the battle, the Cardinal sitting on the Unicorn was forced to burn his life and released a divine spell, but he still failed to turn the tide of the battle.

"Wow……"

Serila's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she exclaimed softly. She stared at Earl Islit and quietly stretched out a finger to poke Grete's waist sideways:

"God's Descent Technique! I heard my father say that even an adult dragon can't withstand this kind of magic!"

……That is.

A legendary level spell?

Even if it's a dragon, it's best not to fight hard if it's not legendary. Not even if it's legendary. Spells are too variable. You can dodge if you can.

Just from this magical technique, one can already imagine how thrilling the battle at that time was. There were 4 squadrons and 150 ships. In the end, only a little over 120 ships came back, a loss of nearly 1/5.

Of course, the main ones that were damaged were small boats, and most of them were converted into fireboats and used to block the exit of the bay. There are also some who were unable to retreat during the divine descending technique, or were affected by the explosion.

"What about people?"

Hearing this, the queen leaned forward slightly and quickly asked:

"Where are my brave warriors?"

"Thanks to Queen Hongfu, the sacrifices of the soldiers are not serious." The earl bowed and replied:

"Barbarians and orcs are mainly responsible for fighting in gangs. Our people don't do much close combat..."

The guests laughed softly. Grete also smiled slightly:

Although he had a good impression of those honest barbarians and forthright orcs, in any case, only humans were his kindred spirits.

Knowing that relatively few of my own people died makes me happy no matter what.

After reporting the results, continue reporting the results. Earl Islit bowed and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, during this war, we blocked the 50 ships of the Glorious Holy See in the bay, and not one of them escaped. 23 ships were scuttled and 27 were captured, including the flagship Unicorn."

After saying this, he paused for a moment, and his tone suddenly rose high, shaking the whole audience:

"All of us have unanimously decided to dedicate the most valuable treasure among the spoils to your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two trumpeters at the entrance of the hall blew the brass horns again. Amidst the sound of the trumpet, a long line of sailors, working in groups of two and two, carried rectangular shallow dishes and brought gold, silver and jewelry directly to the emperor.

"Wow……"

Miss Silver Dragon whispered softly again. This time, Grete rushed to apply a round of armor to himself, and then attached a barbarian power, and finally resisted her subconscious grasp.

The first lift was a golden disk with a diameter of more than two feet, on which were engraved human faces, the sun, numerous rings and endless symbols;

The second one was a golden mask that was half a man tall. The feathers decorated on it clearly belonged to a high-level magical beast;

The third lift is a gold crown inlaid with countless emeralds. The lower part of the crown is saddle-shaped, with a vase-shaped upper part standing in the middle, and two curved gold handles connected on both sides;

The fourth one is a golden scepter that is as tall as a person, with a golden disk with a diameter of one foot attached to the top. Every time the two knights carrying it took a step, the wooden plate creaked painfully, and Gretel was very worried that it would break on the spot...

"Cerilla, Serela!"

Gretel shouted softly and struggled hard. Miss Yinlong woke up from a dream and quickly let go.

Gretel finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't let go, he would have to apply healing skills on himself...

After presenting the representative treasures, Earl Islit continued to introduce everyone's achievements to the Queen. And the Queen followed the good deeds and rewarded them generously:

"The commander of the First Squadron, Lord Yeovil, led the fleet to block the Gulf of Tarsas. He took the lead and faced the Holy See fleet..."

"Great Knight Yeovil, I will confer upon you the title of Vice Admiral and the Order of Thorns. I hope you will continue your efforts and make greater contributions to the kingdom..."

"Commander of the Second Squadron, Grand Knight Briot... Formation Killing of the Holy Knights of the Holy See of Glory, Deputy Commander Knight Vieri..."

"Confer the title of...Vice Admiral of the Navy...award the Medal of Thorns..."

"Commander of the Third Squadron, Knight Derek..."

"Awarding of the Medal of Narcissus..."

"Commander of the Fourth Squadron..."

Grete listened boredly, looking at the queen intently from time to time to observe her state. This queen is also really tough. She keeps standing there with a belly that is eight or nine months old, with a friendly attitude and a sincere smile——

It's like the doctors and nurses in the hospital in the previous life who were still working when they were about to give birth. It is said that the director of their obstetrics and gynecology department was busy until delivery in the early years. He was still delivering babies for others in the morning and lying on the delivery bed by himself in the afternoon...

You must do what you can, and don’t overwork yourself and get pregnant! Even if divine magic can help, it cannot be used forever!

After the four squadron commanders, a long line of meritorious soldiers were led up one after another. There are captains, boatswains, gunners, and spellcasters who are responsible for all aspects of work:

Attack, defense, assistance, interference, treatment...

Gretel almost fell asleep. In other words, if there weren't other care recipients to observe, he would really be asleep. Ah, when will it end? Can they be allowed to visit those gold and jewelry freely...

"Mage Nordmark, with his excellent medical skills, has made outstanding contributions to the health of fleet members..."

"Mage Nordmark!"

ah?

What? !

Why should I get the medal? !

You didn’t even notify me in advance!
