Chapter 410: Angry Tacitus Even the most unresponsive crew members felt the solemnity of the ranks, and the hint of danger.
So, even though Tacitus ordered them to hurry up, not a single one objected.
Everyone wanted to get back to the beach as soon as possible and get back to the boat.
Finally, in the afternoon, the coastline is in view.
This is very encouraging for everyone.
There was already a hint of salty sea breeze in the air, and even the sound of the waves came to people's ears as if nothing was there.
Tacitus was also in good spirits, and he knew very well that if he could not get back to sea before dark, then he would not be able to find such a rocky camp near the sea, and the night would be very dangerous The knight named Coren did not sense the trace of the monster underground, but Tacitus did not dare to relax for a moment, and had to say that the knight captain of the Holy Knights was a truly brave leader.
He took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the broken team, and he stayed at the end of the team during the whole process.
If that monster attacks, then the end of the team will obviously be the primary target.
Lan Lan has respect for Tacitus from the bottom of her heart, but in addition to this respect, the saint can't help but have some other thoughts in her heart: if all the high-ranking members of the church were as brave and selfless as Tacitus, then the Temple of Light would not have fallen to the point it is now Moreover, as a very rare and outstanding high-level figure in the church, a backbone like Tacitus led a group of elites in the church to venture to this new world, in case of any danger here, then the real elite of the Temple of Light would suffer heavy losses For His Majesty Pope Heynckes, who is determined to restore the glory of the Church, if so many excellent subordinates are lost at once, then the task of reviving the Church will be even more difficult Of course, Lan Lan knew that if he expected to give the responsibility of revitalizing the church to those moth-like high-level people in the temple, those bishops and adults who looked dignified on the outside, but in fact lived a rotten life, and those nobles who had to be served by beautiful goddess servants even when they changed their clothes, they were afraid that the future of the church would really be bright.
Mr.
Heynckes, this is taking a risk, gambling In case you lose the bet Just as Lan Lan was spinning these thoughts in her heart, there was a scuffle at the front of the team "Boat, boat" "Damn those guys ran away?"
"Bastard" Hearing the commotion, Lan Lan rushed to the front of the group almost at the same time as Tacitus.
Then, something happened that made everyone desperate This beach, the beach where they landed in the first place, the surrounding terrain, the references, and the location are not wrong But the people who were left behind to guard the landing craft before heading inland are gone Even the landing craft that had been put on the beach after being pushed ashore were gone Of course, this statement is not accurate The situation in front of everyone's eyes is that the beach still looks lifeless, there are no birds, no seagulls Not far from the landing site in front of us, a few pieces of broken wood were crookedly and scattered a little further away from the beach.
You don't even need to look closely, but you can see at a glance that those broken planks are the fragments of the landing craft that everyone used before The original landing craft were only a few slightly larger fragments, which were inserted in the sand.
And the rest is probably washed away by the waves.
As for the crew members who stayed on the beach to guard the landing craft, they were all gone.
The facts in front of us almost completely shattered all the confidence of this adventure team It was clear to everyone that without the landing craft, it would be extremely difficult for them to return to the sea, to get back on board What's more, looking at the few pieces of debris left on the beach, it's clear that this is not a normal situation.
What the hell is happening that can tear several solid landing craft directly to shreds The sailors were in an uproar, shouting, whining, and swearing.
And Tacitus had already rushed towards the fragments with a few people, including Lan Lan.
After carefully examining it, Tacitus looked up: "It seems that he has suffered some heavy blow, and he has been directly shattered." ” "There are no signs of swords, and there are no signs of beasts scratching and biting adults."
One of the knights smiled bitterly: "It looks like it was smashed by something, maybe a sledgehammer" "Hell, there's no one near here, we haven't even seen a ghost along the way."
Tacitus took a deep breath and shouted, "Shut up and be quiet" He glanced at Lan Lan, Lan Lan immediately understood, and said quickly: "Our sea boat is behind the cliff in the northwest direction, a leeward place, about less than a kilometer away from us, but my lord, there are cliffs on three sides, and we can't get on the ship directly from there, we chose to anchor the sea ship there at the beginning, because that place is the most leeward, and the water depth is enough."
Now" "Maybe we can walk there and put a rope so that everyone can climb down and get on the boat, although it will be a little more difficult."
"yes, there's only a few little shrubs around this damn beach, and no trees to make rafts, otherwise" "It's not too far to walk a kilometer, but it might take more time to climb that cliff."
"Hell, shouldn't we find out what happened first, Emre was dragged away by the monsters underground, and now the guards who stayed on the beach were also attacked and disappeared, so we just ran away?"
"Well, we only have a few dozen people here, we don't have the capital to fight hard with the enemy, we still have the task of the people who came here, no one is a coward, but we can't die in vain" Seeing that the knights under his command began to quarrel, which was not a good sign, Tacitus shouted, "Enough is enough, shut up and listen to me" He glanced at Lan Lan and said quickly: "Lan Lan, if we want to build a raft."
"There's not enough time."
Lan Lan immediately shook her head: "The biggest trees we saw on the road are a bit far from here, if you want to build a raft, you have to go back, and cut down the trees and transport them to this beach, plus the time to make the raft, it is impossible to complete it before dark."
You know, there are dozens of us, and one raft is not enough."
"Then let's go to the cliff and climb down the cliff" A knight couldn't help but say.
Lan Lan glanced at him and shook her head: "Everyone, you and I may be able to do this."
But let's not forget that we also have dozens of sailors and crew members in our ranks.
They are just ordinary people, and they probably don't have the ability to climb over such a cliff.
Besides" She glanced at Tacitus.
Tacitus understood and understood what Lan Lan meant.
For the people of the church, they did not care about the life or death of the crew, in fact, after a riot at sea, the relationship between the personnel of the church and those crew members has always been delicate.
However, it was never possible for Tacitus and the others to lose those crew members.
After all, if these adventurous teams had abandoned all their crews and ran back, then there was no doubt that the sailors who remained on the ship would riot immediately This is tantamount to tearing up the face directly with the crew If it was in the Roland Empire, people in the church didn't care about such a thing as tearing their faces.
But this is overseas Relying on the people of the church, they don't know how to ship and sail, and they don't have the ability to drive that ship back to Roland.
Tacitus finally made a decision.
He named several people, all of whom were powerful knights under his command.
"You go to the cliff at once, and then find a way to climb down from the top and get on the boat, inform the people on board, immediately lift anchor, go around the cliff, and drive to the sea in front of this beach, and then there will be a landing craft on board, and you can use the landing craft to pick us up from the shore, which seems to be the most feasible plan at present."
The knights whose names he named accepted the order without hesitation.
Returning to the ranks, the crew and sailors were comforted a little when the three knights broke away from the group and sped away in the direction of the northwest cliffs, and Tacitus announced that he had sent to inform the ships to pick up his men.

Tacitus then ordered the team to be on guard, and he personally led ten knights, including Cologne, to be on guard.
More than half an hour passed quickly.
The man sent had already disappeared into the cliff terrain in the distance.
Tacitus counted the time, and if it went well, maybe the men would have climbed off the cliff by now.
The ranks were scattered on the beach, mainly the sailors, who had run for a day, and naturally could not be as disciplined here as the knights of the Church.
In fact, the looseness of the seafarers and sailors, Tacitus and others had long been accustomed to it.
Fortunately, it was daylight, so I wasn't too worried about the underground monster coming to attack, and it seemed that Koren didn't find anything.
Time passed so slowly, Tacitus frequently looked in the direction of the sea, but the expected sail shadow never appeared.
This made Tacitus feel a little anxious.
Suddenly, Tacitus's eyes changed In the northwest direction, in the area of the cliff in the distance, a figure suddenly appeared on the horizon The figure was running along the beach at a rapid pace Tacitus' gaze shrank suddenly, and he jumped to his feet and took out his monoculars to look.
I saw a man on the beach, with his hair scattered, although he ran fast, but his pace staggered.
The man was clearly dressed in the armor of a holy knight of the Church of Light Tacitus's face changed It was clearly one of the three people he had just sent Through the binoculars, the holy knight was visibly bloodstained, and he was still carrying a sword in his hand, which was so mutilated that only a small blade remained The man was running frantically towards the place, and he was still making a motion, his left hand grasping a whistle in his mouth, and blowing hard But because of the distance, and the sea breeze, Tacitus, who was standing there, did not hear the whistle, while the knight ran as hard as he could Tacitus cursed fiercely in his heart, and then raised his throat and roared: "All rise up and attack" With a burst of drinking, the team suddenly became chaotic The sailors and crews who sat everywhere jumped to their feet, some looking for their weapons, others shouting in panic and looking around.
Tacitus didn't have time to pay attention to these people, he shouted a few words quickly, and immediately more than a dozen knights gathered around him.
"Keeping up" As the knight ran closer and closer, he came into everyone's sight Everyone, including the sailors and crew, could see the knight who had run back But at this time, something even more frightening happened The knight ran on the flat sand, wielding his broken sword as he ran, and the rapid whistle could be heard intermittently And at this moment, behind this knight he ran on the beach The originally flat beach, the ground suddenly seemed to come to life, and a huge bulge quickly rose on the beach, as if a small hillside was rising in an instant Immediately, this "bulge" quickly rolled forward It's as if something is moving forward and rolling under the ground Everyone shouted in horror Tacitus, who was running towards there, naturally saw it, his face was shocked, but he didn't pause at his feet, the holy knight just quickly drew his long sword, roared angrily, and instead accelerated his speed and rushed towards the knight.
However, he still couldn't catch up The rolling mountain bag was originally still dozens of meters behind the knight, but in the blink of an eye, it "rolled" behind him With a loud bang, the mountain bag exploded, and grains of sand flew everywhere Everyone saw it very clearly, only in the explosion of the mountain bag, in the scattered sand grains everywhere A huge tentacle has been thrown out In the sunlight, the tentacles looked dark and swarthy, with a faint metallic sheen What's even more terrifying is that the size and volume of the tentacles look thicker than a cow And its top is in a slender state Especially when this tentacle flew out of the ground, the tip of the tip raised a sharp object in an instant It looks like there's an extra needle tip Before Tacitus could shout, the tentacle flicked hard, and the needle had stabbed into the knight's back from behind A terrible scream The knight was immediately pierced through his chest, and the sharp needle pierced his back of the heart to the front of his chest like a spear, and then with a flick of his tentacle, he directly picked him up The tentacles poked out of the height of the ground, and the poor knight was directly picked up in the air by about seven or eight meters, and his body swayed wildly with the tentacles, and the blood on his body sprayed, and there was blood everywhere in his mouth and nose.
His screams quickly became short Then, in the next moment, I saw the tentacle "boom" and retract into the ground at lightning speed At this time, Tacitus finally caught up For example, the knight was still about fifty meters away, but the Holy Knight Captain had already roared, and his whole body instantly burst out with a silver dazzling fighting light, and the long sword in his hand had turned into a bolt of lightning, which came out of his hand and shot fiercely at the tentacle How powerful it is for a high-ranking samurai to strike with all his might in a state of rage.
I saw that the long sword that shot out of his hand, with a roaring silver fighting light, instantly fell on the top of the tentacle Rub it off The top of the tentacle, the sharp needle that held the knight, was directly cut off The knight finally fell heavily to the ground, and the tentacle, with a thud, shrank into the ground, and then saw the ground bulge a few times, and then regained its calm Tacitus had already rushed to the Holy Knight's side, grabbed the knight, and threw it behind him without looking back Behind Tacitus, several of his subordinates who came after him joined forces to catch the man, and Tacitus had already shouted fiercely: "Don't come here" The leader of the Knights of the Church, with a fierce murderous aura on his face and a shining aura all over his body, stood there, squinting his eyes, carefully observing the movement on the ground.
He had already grabbed his own sword on the ground, and with a loud roar, he suddenly spread his feet apart and plunged his sword into the ground With a bang, he saw the blade of the sword piercing into the earth, and a silver light like lightning instantly flowed through the sword body from his body, submerging into the earth Immediately, within a radius of about twenty meters, the entire beach suddenly burst open, centered on the place where Tacitus stood Countless shattered grains of sand and stones flew in all directions, shattered by the fighting spirit At that moment, there seemed to be countless silver lights flashing and bursting on the ground The power of Tacitus's blow immediately caused the people in the team standing in the distance to let out a burst of exclamation This knight of the church made a move, and it was really extraordinary Tacitus stood there, his chest rising and falling violently, just now he shot out with hatred, the bombardment of this sword, using ten percent of his strength, even if it was a solid city gate in front of him, it could be directly blasted open But what made Tacitus's heart sink was that the ground that burst open, and there was no trace of the monster In other words, his own sword bombardment did not cause any damage to the monster Myself, hit the air Tacitus was on guard for a moment, but the monster did not return It seems to have receded Carefully drawing his sword, Tacitus walked back quickly.
Look at the wounded knight, who was being held flat on the ground by several subordinates.
The knight had not yet died, and his mouth was spitting blood.
There was also that sharp needle-like thing on his body, and the knights didn't help him pull out the thing, they were all very experienced, and this companion seemed to be unable to do it, at this time, once he pulled out the thing on his body, I was afraid that he would immediately lose his breath.
"Pastor" Tacitus roared angrily, and in the distance, Lan Lan had already run over with a magician.
An aura of healing at all costs fell on the Holy Knight's body, and his breathing seemed to have calmed down a little, and it was clear to everyone present that this was just a return to light.
Such a fatal injury is by no means a life-saving treatment technique.
The people around them all dispersed consciously, and Tacitus and Lan Lan stood beside the seriously injured knight and squatted down at the same time.
Lan Lan stretched out her hand, grabbed the knight's right hand tightly, and gently recited a few words of the canon of the Temple of Light in her mouth, and she used her other hand to slowly gently light the knight's forehead.
The knight's body trembled slightly, his eyes widened, and his breath choked slightly.
"Rowan, tell me, what's going on."
Tacitus' face was calm.
"It's over, it's over, it's over," the knight named Rowan said in a staccato voice, "I, we, our ship is done, it" When he heard the phrase "the ship is finished", Tacitus and all the knights changed their expressions drastically "It, it, that monster, it, it's just climbed up the cliff, just, we saw it, it, it's entrenched in our boat, it's big, very, very big like an octopus, we,.
Our ship of the sea, then, was wrapped in its body, and was wrapped in its body, and it was broken, and it was broken into many, and several knots."
Tacitus' face darkened This knight named Rowan suddenly burst into tears in his eyes.
He turned his head slightly to the side, looking at Lan Lan, at the holy woman who was holding his hand.
"Blue, Lord Lanlan, I, we failed, isn't it, our mission failed, is it, I, we don't have a boat, we can't go back, isn't it" Lan Lan sighed in her heart, she stared at this knight's eyes, grabbed his hand hard, and then tried to use the gentlest voice as much as possible, and said softly: "No, Rowan, we didn't fail, you did a good job, you are very brave, you are a real knight, a real warrior, you have contributed everything you have to the church, believe me, the goddess is watching you in the sky, she is waiting for you, you will throw yourself into the arms of the goddess, you will get eternal peace and happiness for you" Rowan's body suddenly trembled violently, and the blood in his mouth kept coming out, but with Lan Lan's words, there seemed to be a strange light in the knight's eyes Immediately, this glimmer of light finally dimmed, and then disappeared completely A tear also flowed from Lan Lan's eyes.
She slowly let go of the knight's hand, and gently closed his eyelids.
"Maybe we shouldn't have been here at all, we shouldn't have come to this place."
Lan Lan whispered to herself.
"Bastard" Tacitus roared suddenly, and he stared at the cliffs with eyes that almost breathed fire.
"I'm going to kill it, I'm going to kill that monster, I'm going to cut it into slices" To be continued.
