Chapter 800 The function of the small conch!
The leader of the sea tribe ran while holding a conch shell to his mouth and blew it. When the sea tribe soldiers heard the sound of the conch shell, they began to retreat towards the river.
"Don't let them get away! Kill!"
Seeing the sea creatures begin to flee in panic, the guards of Saint Bridge Fort began to shout and chase after them.
Gervis did not delay any longer and directly activated his fighting spirit and rushed towards the sea clan leader.
"Where are you running to!"
Gervis's body was as fast as lightning, charging directly among the indigenous sea people.
After a moment, he arrived behind the sea clan leader.
When the sea tribe leader saw Gervis approaching, he turned pale with fright, and without thinking, he grabbed a sea tribe soldier and pushed him towards Gervis.
"Ah! Chief..."
The sea soldier was startled and rushed towards Gervis while wailing.
Bang! But when he got close to Gervis, he was kicked away by Gervis like a football.
"Critical strike with one sword!"
After Gervis kicked the sea soldier away, he took out the Crimson Moon and slashed at the sea leader.
Then a strong sword light appeared in front of Gervis and slashed towards the leader of the sea clan.
"I'll fight you!"
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the sea tribe leader turned around without hesitation, raised his sword and swung at Gervis.
Boom!
As the two sword beams collided, a loud explosion was heard in the field.
However, the attack of the White Flag Knight was no longer a threat to Gervis. When the rumbling sounded, Gervis did not stop at all.
He came directly in front of the sea tribe leader. Bang! The sea tribe leader was pushed down by the aftermath of the explosion. Just as he stood up, Gervis arrived in front of him and then his fist as big as a casserole hit him directly in the face.
“Hmm!”
The sea clan leader immediately covered his face and wailed in pain.
"I surrender! I surrender! Don't kill me!"
After suffering this blow, the leader of the sea tribe immediately begged for mercy from Gervis without any spine.
"Tell your subordinates to surrender!"
Gervis put his sword against his neck and gave a fierce command.
"Okay! Okay! I'll make them surrender now!"
The leader of the sea tribe immediately nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice, and then he picked up the conch and continued to blow it.
“Woo woo woo!”
It was magical. As the conch was blown, the sea soldiers who were running wildly slowly stopped one by one, then knelt on the ground and surrendered.
…
Half an hour later, inside the Holy Bridge Fort Temple.
After interrogation, Gervis has found out why these sea creatures appeared in this inland river.
It turned out that it was because of the invasion of the sea people from the Holy Continent, and their invasion was fierce.
In addition, there were no cities in the sea like on land, so these indigenous sea creatures were unable to resist and were quickly defeated.
This sea tribe leader was a captain of the indigenous sea tribe. Their legion had more than 20,000 people. After the defeat, these 20,000 people fled to this section of the river.
These people were sent out this time to collect food for the Sea Clan Army, so they came to the vicinity of Saint Bridge Fort.
After arriving at Saint Bridge Castle, they saw serfs farming outside the city, so they thought of going ashore and capturing them as food.
As a result, he was discovered by the swift dragon bird in the sky, and suffered a heavy blow from his direct guards. He was also unlucky enough to meet Gervis who was just returning.
"Is this conch used by your sea tribe to command the army?"
Gervis was playing with a conch in his hand. The conch was quite large and had an extremely smooth surface. It was seized from the sea tribe leader Chaka.
"Yes, sir! We sea people use this conch to convey orders!"
"According to rumors, our Lord of the Sea has a conch that can command everything in the sea, so our leaders and priests all use the conch as a symbol of their status, and no one can disobey!"
The leader of the sea tribe, Chaka, knelt down and trembled, not daring to hide anything and answered Gervis' questions honestly.
"Oh? Then look at my conch and see what's different about it!"
Gervis was thoughtful and took out a delicate and small conch from the space ring.
This small conch belongs to Lolita, the eldest daughter of the Sacred Trading Company. However, the exquisiteness of this conch is incomparable to the big one.
Because this little conch of Lolita still has a hint of spiritual luster, it is obvious that it is not an ordinary product.
"This... Sir, this conch should be owned by a great man of the sea tribe, because it has a halo, and it is obviously blessed by the priests and the sea god."
"Except for those at the commander level, if the weaker sea creatures hear the sound of the conch, they will unconsciously submit."
"Hmm? After sacrifices and the blessing of the sea god? Can some sea creatures surrender?"
Gervis looked at the small conch in his hand with a little surprise.
At the same time he secretly said in his heart.
"That young man from the sea tribe was really generous. He actually gave such a precious thing to that Lolita girl!"
Because the few times I came into contact with Lolita were all very brief and all of them were confrontational situations.
So Gervis has not yet suspected that this girl Lolita is the princess of the sea tribe.
Instead, he regarded the small conch as a token of love from Vaodin to Lolita.
This also explains why Lolita asked him for the conch that day in the manor and was very interested in it.
“How should I blow this conch to make it effective?”
Although he had little contact with the sea creatures, Gervis was still somewhat curious about this thing.
"Sir, I have a conch shell signal sheet here!"
"Huh? You carry this thing with you too?"
Gervis really didn't expect that the other party actually brought this thing with him.
"Um... well... Sir, I have only been the captain for four or five days, so this signal spectrum was just sent to me by the legion commander!"
Chaka blushed and explained shyly.
Soon the signal spectrum was taken over by the guards and delivered to Gervis.
"Well, it's pretty simple!"
Gervis took a quick look and made a comment.
This conch signal is used to convey commands, not to play music, so the way it is played is actually similar to the Morse code in previous lives.
Rely on the length of the conch sound to distinguish what the command is.
Gervis had a photographic memory, and he remembered everything after reading it once.
The next moment, Gervis picked up Lolita's tiny conch and put it to his mouth.
“Woo woo woo!”
As Gervis blew the conch, the sound of conch shells immediately rang out in the hall.
When Chaka, who was kneeling on the ground, heard Leli's conch sound, he instinctively stood up.
clang clang!
As soon as he stood up, several guards immediately drew their swords and put them on his neck.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I didn't mean it! Your Excellency!"
After Chaka realized what was happening, he immediately knelt back down and explained hurriedly.
"Hmm? Does this conch work on you too?"
Gervis did not pursue the fact that he stood up, but was surprised that Lolita's conch was also effective on Chaka.
"Sir, whether the conch is ours or the invading one, its effect is the same! Because the sea god we believe in and the sea god they believe in should be the same main god."
"So, the only difference is the content of the signal spectrum! Just now you blew the signal according to my signal spectrum! So you are just giving me orders!"
Chaka also guessed that the conch in Gervis's hand must have been obtained from the invader, and immediately explained it.
After hearing the explanation, Gervis understood instantly that the conch was just a carrier! It was like the horn used by humans to transmit messages. Whether it was the enemy's horn or your own horn, you could blow it as long as you picked it up.
What really matters in commanding is the agreed way of playing.
For example, one long and one short, or two long and one short. By then, our people will definitely know what the command means, and there is no need to worry about being confused with the enemy.
"Good stuff! Put it away for now!"
Gervis used to think that the conch was useless and he just wanted to disgust Lolita.
But now it doesn't want to return it to Lolita. This thing is also a treasure to it.
…
"Now I know everything I want to know! Then let's talk about how to deal with you!"
"There should be a lot of fish and shrimp in the river! Why did you go ashore to catch humans to eat?"
If possible, Gervis actually wanted to raise a few sea creatures to play with, after all, he was really helpless in the sea.
But first of all, he had no way to absolutely control these sea creatures.
In addition, the river next to the Holy Bridge Fort is more than 300 meters wide, and there should be many big fish and shrimps in the river.
These sea creatures actually wanted to capture serfs as food, which was beyond Gervis' bottom line, so he now wanted to kill them.
"Please spare my life, sir!"
"We were forced to do so. I have never eaten anyone before!"
"This time the commander issued a death order, saying that if we don't find enough food to return, the entire brigade will be placed at the front of the legion in battle!"
"I was possessed by a devil for a moment, and that's why I ran to the shore!"
Chaka also sensed the murderous intent in Gervis' eyes, and immediately shuddered with fear and began to beg for mercy loudly.
"You must be bewildered. It's such a big river, there must be enough fish and shrimp for you to eat!"
Gervis remained unmoved and questioned.
"Sir, there are no more fish or shrimp in the river. This is already the third time I have searched for food here! If you don't believe me, you can ask other sea clan soldiers. I would never dare to lie!"
Chaka patted his chest and cried out to Gervis.
"Hmm? Is this the third time?"
If what Chaka said was true, it would reduce his guilt. Gervis immediately winked at Hayden beside him.
Hayden immediately understood what Gervis meant, bowed and left.
Five or six minutes later, Hayden returned again and reported next to Gervais.
"Your Majesty, I have asked the sea tribe soldiers, and they have indeed come to this area for the third time to search for supplies. If the supplies found are few, they will rush to the front in the battle."
"During the interrogation, they were all separated. There should be no possibility of collusion!"
Hayden's voice was quite loud and Chaka also heard what he said. After hearing it, his expression finally looked better.
And seeing that Gervis's murderous intent had subsided a little, he immediately struck while the iron was hot and spoke.
"Sir, I am willing to turn from evil to good and become your subordinate! Please don't kill us!"
"Even if you are telling the truth, do you really want to join me?"
"But although you sea creatures can temporarily move around on the shore, you must return to the water for a while after a long time! What if you run away then?"
Le Li looked at Chaka and continued speaking.
"Sir, your conch has been blessed by the Sea God. It allows you to move freely in the water without having to worry about holding your breath. So you don't have to worry about us escaping!"
The Chaka immediately replied to Gervis.
"Oh? My conch actually has such an effect!"
Gervis was surprised.
"Yes, it is true, my Lord!"
Chaka looked at Gervis pleadingly.
"In that case, I will spare your lives for now. If you behave well, I will allow you to become my subordinates!"
"If you have ulterior motives... you know the consequences!"
Gervis has decided to accept these sea creatures.
As soon as he learned that these tribes were not as cruel, bloodthirsty and cannibalistic as the orcs, he had already had this idea.
Now that I have this magical conch, I feel more at ease.
"Yes, sir! I will do my best in the future and will never dare to betray you!"
Chaka's face was overjoyed and he immediately swore an oath.
"Okay! You better remember what you said!"
"By the way, how far is that sea tribe army from here? How strong is it?"
Gervis nodded, accepting Chaka's loyalty, but it was unclear whether he could keep his oath.
Gervis didn't hesitate. If he really wanted to escape, it would be better if he didn't run into him in the future. Otherwise, there were a hundred ways to deal with him.
"Sir, that sea tribe army is more than a hundred miles away from here. It will take about two days to reach here against the current."
"The legion has at least 21,000 soldiers, and the legion commander is at the initial stage of the Red Flag!"
"There are two elite golden battalions in the legion! There are also more than 20 captains and deputy commanders above the white flag knights."
Chaka immediately informed Gervis of the information he knew.
"The ocean is so vast, why didn't your commander flee to the depths of the ocean, but hide in this river instead?"
The combat effectiveness of such a legion cannot be underestimated, and now it has appeared near the Holy Bridge Fort. Gervis has to understand the situation in detail and be on guard.
"Sir, the commander of the army said that we didn't take any wealth with us when we fled, so after the invading sea tribes dispersed, he planned to take us back to the palace in the sea, steal a batch of treasures, and then leave!"
"It turns out that they want money over life!"
Gervis had nothing to say about this!
"Hayden, take Chaka down and place him in the city first!"
"I'll stay here for the next two days!"
After asking almost all the questions that needed to be asked, Gervis gave Hayden an order.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Sir, I will take my leave first!"
Afterwards, Hayden took the sea tribe leader Chaka, who had escaped death, out of the temple hall.
"Thomas, Bud! The caravan will rest here for a day today, and you two will lead it back tomorrow. When you go back, tell Caroline to send my slave team over!"
Hayden and Chaka left, and Gervis looked at Thomas and Bud, the captain of the direct guard.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
