Chapter 2330 joy, frustration(1/2)
The temperature in early autumn in Lisbon is suitable.
You can take a nap on the side of the street, which will make you feel comfortable, but only if you don’t think the street is dirty.
A few idle men sat on the street and took a nap.
Autumn is always pleasant, and there are more smiles on the faces of pedestrians.
"It is said that a lot of new land was discovered outside, all of which were very fertile, and there were a lot of bison."
"I don't know when they will be back, do you want to go?"
"I think there are benefits, many benefits when I go there."
"Yes! I'm waiting for the fleet to come back now."
People gradually fade away, but they leave expectations and envy.
It was almost noon, and a few idle men woke up and staggered to go home for dinner.
This is a mountain city. When the weather is good, you can see the port situation and the vast sea surface by standing at a high place.
"What is that?"
A casual man asked rubbed his eyes.
"What did you say?"
"You guys look at the dock!"
A few idle men turned around and looked, then they were stunned and gradually became ecstatic.
"It's the long-distance ship that has been back!"
On the top of the mountain, they could see more than 20 ships leaning towards the dock, but their vision was not very clear and they could not see the specific situation clearly.
However, a fleet of this size can be determined to be a fleet of long-distance voyages without thinking.
"They are back!"
A few idle men couldn't help but cheer and began to run down the mountain.
Several pedestrians were infected by their joy, and when they saw the fleet in the distance, they couldn't help but shout.
The sounds were getting louder and louder, and the people in the castle were also alarmed.
The sergeant saw the fleet above the castle and reported it to him.
"The fleet is back?"
The king was having lunch, and the table was filled with various meat and dairy products.
"Yes, your majesty."
"oh……"
The king's body was trembling, and the chicken leg held in his hand fell on his knees.
His face was burning red, and he suddenly stood up and said, "Go, go and welcome our hero."
As the king came out to greet him in person, the bell rang.
There are many bells here, and one rings a hundred times.
The bells echoed one after another, echoing in this harbor city.
The people who were cooking walked out of the house and followed the crowds to the mountain.
"It's the long-distance fleet that has been back."
Someone was excited to say the good news, which triggered a burst of cheers.
"They will bring good news from afar and a lot of money!"
The people cheered, some shouted long live the king, and some even shouted long live His Highness Henry randomly, which led a group of people to rush in, and after searching for it, they arrested the people who shouted the slogan.
"I am just happy, for the sake of the king and His Highness..."
The man was dragged out of the crowd like a dog-like drag, shouting all the way, and then being thrown heavily on the side of the road. The two soldiers scolded: "For the sake of good news, you should pray for your good luck, otherwise you will not expect to appear here again in your life."
This little episode did not affect everyone's emotions. The crowd was getting faster and faster, and they were actually jogging down behind.
The king was surrounded by guards and was already riding a horse and rushed to the front, and the people cheered and followed behind.
This is cohesion.
The king said to his important ministers around him: "As long as there is good news, the people of the kingdom will always support Lisbon and their king."
The important officials agreed with smiles.
The sound of horse hooves was crisp, and we all the way to the flat ground.
There was a pier ahead, and everyone's sight was blocked by the sails on the boats anchored on the pier.
"Let's go and see the Warriors!"
At this time, a noise came from the distance behind him, and the sound was surprised.
The king said with some displeasure: "What else do they want? Are our warriors not doing enough?"
At this moment, the word "disobedient" appeared in the hearts of the king, his ministers, and the prince.
The horse slowly moved forward, and the ship in front had begun to move, ready to clear the berth.
In the sunny weather, the king looked up at the blue sky and said, "This is a really refreshing day!"
The ministers agreed, and the king slowly lowered his head, and the ships in front had moved a little away.
Through those gaps, he saw some rags.
Yes, those ragged boats flashed through his eyes.
It was like a flash of lightning streak across the sky.
The king's body shook on the horse's back for a moment, and then he blinked.
The gap in front was getting bigger and bigger, and the boats that were waiting for their seats were quiet.
The crew members on the deck stared blankly at the ships that had approached the berth.
A warship with a charred hole on the bow rushed over rudely, and traces of repair could be seen around the bow.
The crew members above quickly leaned over the ship and cursed, and they still remained the same when they saw a team of knights coming.
After the crew got ashore, they shouted for food, especially fresh water and vegetables.
"Did they... come back to report the news?"
There are almost no intact ships in the fleet, and traces of attacks can be seen on 30% of the ships.
The traces of the attacks of giant beasts were shocking. The king's heart was sinking, but luckily he still asked the above words.
Someone said, "Your Majesty, I think they meet an enemy, and then come back to report the news..."
"Yes, hundreds of warships, that's a force that can destroy the world, we won't fail."
"The ships burned by the fire of war are the warriors' boats. They mustered up the courage to see the warriors in the dark clouds..."
A palace imperial pen chanted poems, and everyone was suddenly filled with energy.
The king smiled and said, "Yes, that's it. Our warriors need to be tempered by war. In the future, they will rule the world and be able to... and be able to... who is that?"
The people have already flowed down, just like the fruits harvested in autumn are piled up at the foot of the mountain, gradually piled up higher and higher.
But the steps stopped below, and everyone was looking at the ship in front of them.
This is a well-preserved warship, and there are no traces of war.
The boat had already landed, and a man took the lead in getting ashore.
Looking at the huge crowd ahead, the face that was red from the sun was full of confusion, and then firm.
The man stood on the dock and walked slowly towards the king's group.
The king's body was shaking, and then he said happily: "It's Henry! Oh my God! Have they defeated Mingren and wanted Henry back?"
Yes, all people, the wisest wise man, are this judgment.
"We won!"
"Your Highness returns, it must be that Mingren was defeated!"
"Yes! If it were us, if we weren't for the defeat, how could we return Mingren's Highness and win!"
“…”
This is a time to celebrate, and everyone feels that the world is already in their hands, and countless money and land, as well as the population that can be enslaved, are beckoning to them.
Henry walked firmly to the king, knelt on one knee, and said, "Father, we have failed."
His voice was not loud, but it was like a big bell ringing in everyone's ears.
The countless happy faces gradually became whiter and gradually became dull.
The atmosphere seemed to be as uncomfortable as a man and a woman who was drunk before her peak moments. She wanted to scold her, but she felt that it was better to hold her breath.
To be continued...
